GORMAN WINS IN
MARYLAND PRIMARY

Baltimore, Aug. 30.-Figures avail
able indicate that Arthur P. German
will have about seventy votes for the
gubernatOrial nomination in the
Democratic State convention against
sixty for Blair Lee. 1t will require
sixty-five votes to obtain the nomina-
ton. The ticket is quite a lengthy
one, and returns are coming in very
slowly from the counties.
German has easily carried Balti-
more city by majority of 1892,
with one precinct missing. Germans
vote is 23,947 and Lees 1865. Cor
man has also, from present indica-
tions, carried Washington county,
Worcester, Wicomico. Cecil, Allegany,
Howard and Dorchester. These will
give him fifty-eight votes in the con-
vention. Lee has carried St. Mary's,
Charles, Montgomery, Somerset, Gar
rett, Frederick, Tibot and Baltimore
counties and probably Caroline coun-
ty. No figures of significance have
been received from the other coun-
ties.
The Organization" ticket for State
and city candidates are believed to
have gone through, including vic
tory by E. G. Harrington for State
Comptroller. There was no opposi
ton to Edgar Allen Poe for Attorney
General.

In substantiation of the story told
by Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., of the
murder of his wife on the night of
July Is the defense immediately
following the opening of it's case this
afternoon, introduced witnesses who
testified to seeing a strange man of
he description given by Beattie on
The Midlothian turnpike a day or
two before the crime was committed.
The prosecution rested it's case at
1915. O. this afternoon, after
Detective scherer, County Detective
George farrell, Major James D. Pat
ton, of the penitentiary board, Ben P.
Owen, uncle of the murdered woman,
and Detective Thomas J. Wren and
John l.. Wiltshire had testified that
they were at the scene of the crime
the morning after, and had examined
the roadway for miles in each direc-

blood.
This was in refutatiOn of the testi-
mony of sixteen-year-old Alexander
Robertson, which was to the effect

Chesterfield Court House, Aug. 2e

Chesterfield Court House, Aug. 20
When Paul Beattie stepped down
from the witness stand in old Ches-
terrified county court house at about
the noon hour today, after a severe
cross-examination by attorneys for
the defense, the damaging story that
he told yesterday of his cousins adj
mission of wife murder remained
in any salient parti-
cular. Efforts of the brilliant crimi-
nal lawyers who are striving gamely
to save Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., from
the death chair failed to rattle the
boy. He chung to the testimony he
had previously given, and when he
was excused from further examina-
ton the links of his forging remain
ed intact in the chain of evidence
which is about the neck of his kins-
man.
Practically the entire cross-exami-
nation by counsel for the defense
was concentrated on the effort to
show that Paul Beattie recited an
entirely different story yesterday
from the one which he related at the
coroners inquest, and that he had
on the FIRST occasion suppressed a
part of his knowledge of the case.
The witness maintained that this
was due to his nervous collapse at
the coroner's inquest, and he was
excused without changing his start
ling testimony of yesterday.
John Sandifer, an intimate friend
of the prisoner for several years, who
accompanied the latter to Harry M.
Smiths home two nights after the
murder, followed Paul Beattie on the
witness stand for the prosecution.
He was expected to confirm the testi-
mony that Henry G.. Beattie, Jr., tele-
phOned that night to Paul to ask the
latter to carry a message to Beulah
Binford. He did not do so and fail
ed to give any light on the subject
and practically became witness for
the defense
Accused Man to Testify
Harry M. Smith, Jr., counsel for
the defense, took the witness on di-
rect examination and asked him con-
corning the character of Henry G.
Beattie, Jr. The prosecution object
ed that this kind of testimony could

Smith then announced that it was

best, and that he felt unable to under
take the labors that the campaign
would require was the reason given
by Prof. Jordan for his refusal to
serve.
Mr.. Rife had previously been nomi-
mated as the new party's candidate
for the House of Delegates, and when
he was called upon yesterday to run
for the Senatorship, R. L. Crawford,
of Pastures district,~was nominated
to FIJI the vacancy thus made in the
lineup.
The Independent ticket therefore
is as follows: For the Senate, W. A.
Rife, for the House of Delegates, R.
L. Crawford and H. M. Lewis. The
county furnishes two of the candi-
dates and Staunton the other.
Four years ago, in 1907, Mr.. Rife
was candate for the Senate in OPP
position to Mr.. Echols. At that
time Mr.. Echols carried the district
by a majority of between 200 and
800 votes.
In the election held in this coun-
ty on November 8, 1909 Mr.. Rife was
an Independent candidate for the
House of Delegates, in opposition to
J. F. Templeton and J. F. Kemper.
At that time the county gave Kemper
1,272, Templeton 1,243 and Rife SAT-
Staunton and the county gave KEN
per 437 and Templeton 1872 majority
over Rife. In Staunton in the 1909
election Kemper led the legislative
ticket with 555 votes, while Rife with
SAB won over Templeton who polled
$50. Rife led the ticket in the first
ward here by majority of A over
Kemper and 62 over Templeton.
AS will be seen from these figures
Mr.. Rife made stron~- showing both
times he was cand,~-' e-and this
with no organization Dohind him.
At the Independents headquarters
yesterday it was stated that an &C
tive campaign would be started at
once. Several strong speakers will
take the stump in support of the
party's candidates, and it is the in
tention, SO it is stated, to carry the
fight into every part of Augusta and
Highland counties.

nRlNc RULE" AND "RossISM''

No business can be conducted effi-
GENTLY except by means of skilled,
compact organization.
Politics is the peoples business.
An efficient organization is necessary
for the proper care of that business,
and the actual execution of it must
be entrusted to executive officers of
varying rank and power. The re-
ward of some of these officers is a
badge or title; they are allowed to
come into the presence of the great.
OF others, it is wealth; of others,
power; and of some it is the supreme
satisfaction of having expended them
selves for the good of their country.
But without the closest attention and
supervision of the people them
selves, the officers will inevitably
cease to remember that they are
the servants of the people. They will
gradually get the impression that the
Office and the organization belong to
them. They will resent criticism,
and conceal the facts; until finally
they are working primarily for them
selves, their badge, their wealth, or
their power, and secondarily for the
people. The form of the organiza-
ton is still the same; but the soul
is different. That is "Ring-rule."
In every organization, there is a
leader. There must be a strong
leader for any efficient organization.
He must be suggestive, aggressive,
Industrious, and be able to enthuse
and control others. He must be
broad enough to see farther than
the rank and file of the people, and
in their true interest must at times
DO things of which they may not ap-
prove. He must be able to go ahead
irrespective of temporary criticism
and yet he must be flexible enough
to bend without breaking when the
occasion requires it. He is failure
if the sum total of his efforts is not
to the best interests of the people
whom he represents, and he is a fail
ure the moment he works primarily
for himself, for the emoluments OF
his Office, for the power and import.
ance it confers upon him, and secon.
darby for the good of the people
This is true even if much that he
does is good. Even If nothing thai
he does is evil in itself. But he the1
becomes the leader in "Ring-rule.'
The leader in ring-rule is the
"boss."

srAuN1oN PLAN LIKE ATLANTA's

While Atlanta worked out her own
new plan of municipal government
without hunting about for precedent
in accordance with the views OF ner
leading citizens most interested IN
effective business government, the
system which Atlanta has decided
to adopt is by no means new or
unique in it's basic elements.
Although the details of govern
ment plans in European cities were
not considered, it is there, as has
been pointed out. that the prototype
of the new Atlanta charter is found.
But before Atlanta, Staunton, Va,
adopted something like the European
idea, and turned the administration
of municipal affairs over to bond
ed general manager.
In Staunton the city council Is re-
tanned, but for legislative purposes
only; while the general manager is
devoting his entire time to the citys
executive affairs, which have been
like the head of great corporation,
placed wholly within his 1urisdic-
ton
Staunton, like Atlanta, was
"board-ridden." There, however, the
boards, each in charge of some de-
partment, took the shape of council
committees; so that the city council
had not only the legislative, but prac-
tically all of the executive functions.
Unlike Atlanta, on the other hand,
Staunton did not have to go to the
Virginia legislature to bring about
essential changes to put municipal
government on business basis.
Council itself passed the ordinance
creating the office of general manag-
er and surrendering to him the ex-
scutive functions which, through its
numerous committees, it had former
ly exercised.
1t would be quite interesting to
know Just how it was managed.
The essential difference between
the Staunton and the Atlanta plans
is that the latter has five commits
sioners or general managers, exercis-
in executive functions in their respec-
tive spheres, instead of one.
With the smaller population
Staunton has about 12,000-it is
comparatively an easy matter for a
single commissioner or general man
ager, as Staunton prefers to call him,
to exercise all of the executive func-
lions, a thing that would be practi-
cally impossible in Atlanta with her
100000 inhabitants.
But the basic principle is the same
separation of the legislative and
executive functions, elimination of
political boards and the ward poll
tician, and the placing of response
bility in men who derive their au-
thority directly from the whole peo-
pie.
Staunton has had two years of the
new plan and it has proven an emil
nent success, and Atlanta proposes to
get from it similar relief from
slipshod, Ineffective and unbusiness-
like administration COnsti-
tuition.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT 1T?

Orr public school facilities are in
ADEQUATE. Partly because we have
outgrown them with the rapid growth
of our school population; partly be-
because the careful study OF educa-
tional matters has taught us the
need of better school buildings, AID
nartly because a groundless appre-
hension is apparently depriving us CT
tba use of our only modern school
building.
Is this condition to be corrected
in ten years, or in five years, or next
year, or now?
Your children and your friends
children are being injured by imper-
fectly lighted and imperfectly venti-
lated school rooms.
Why not correct it now?
The school board is honest and
efficient. They can be counted on &c
carry out conservatively the expendl-
lures necessary give us first class
school buildings.
Our council and city treasurer are
men skilled in finance. They may
be counted on to raise the necessary
money for the purpose on the most
| favorable terms. And when you
can feel satisfied that the money will
be raised in the best way and expend-
ed in an economic skillful manner,
no more favorable conditions can be
expected.
1t will take $4,000 to 100000 tc
provide the necessary buildings, sub
ject to a large credit from the con-
version of the present unsatisfactory
ones.
Why do you not make it your bust
ness to see that the council and the
school board do it now?

Only miracle can save Henry

went on the stand this afternoon, and
told what must damn him. 1t was
the big sensation promised this morn

damaging words fell from the lips Of
the youth he had used in the accom-
plishment of hellish purpose his
former spirit of bravado deserted
Henry Beattie and with white face
and star ~ eyes he crumpled up in
his chair, his nerve gone and with
it hope.
Paul Beattie first told of the pur-
chase of the gun at the request of his
cousin, and of delivering the weapon
together with three shells loaded with
No. shot to Henry on the Saturday
previous to the murder. This testi-
mony differed in no essential from
that given by the young man at the
coroner's inquest, and with which
the public by this time is more than
familiar.
