Der of out-of-town enthusiasts who

Chicago, H., June What the
nation needs is the Intervention O.
Uncle Sam 20 remove to some ex,
tent some of the exceedingly abundant
blessings that wise Providence has
'showered upon His chosen spot 81
the earth the South"
Guy L Stewart, agricultural and
industrial commissioner of the St
Louis-Southwestern Railway, formerly
assistant to Jcmes Wilson, secretary
of agriculture, thus expresses his at
titude toward the efforts of the Ma
tional irrigation Congress to be Of
further aid this year in the reclama-
ton problems of the South. The Ma
tional Irrigation Congress meets in
Chicago December to 8, and at this
gathering it is not unlikely that som
definite action concerning swamp and
overlooked land reclamation by the
government will be taken by the dele
gates. Continuing, Mr.. Stewart says:
Rice growing in Arkansas and Tex
as and the reclamation of swamp
lands in Louisiana, which is just be-
ginning, are demonstrating to the
icountry at large the agricultural pos
sibilities of the long-neglected South.
Rice growing is an irrigation indus
try. but with the South as a whole
development IS not, of course, maj
/ ter of irrigation, as Dixie has been
granted the blessing of plenty of rain
fall.
THE South does need the help OF
Uncle Sam just as the West needed it.
We want the government to take our
water instead of putting it on to the
soil This is a simpler undertaking
and a million dollars spent by the
government could accomplish the re-
clamation of an area of swamp lands
sufficient for the establishment oil
thousands of homes and for the pro-
duction of crops worth each year sew
eral times the amount invested.
If the National Irrigation Con-
gress can accomplish this, and know
the entire South will join with the
organization in it's efforts to do SO
the South especially, the nation as a
whole, and, l might add, the entire
world to more or less extent, will
again be benefited by the deserving
work of the congress. The time rap
idly is approaching when every avail
able acre of ground in this country
will be needed for agricultural pur.
poses SO | believe that this year Tho
South is offered a means of gaining
help of infinite value through the Ir
rigatiOn Congress, and that the chanc,
of cooperation with the congress

CHILD KEEPS VIGIL
OVER DEAD MOTHER.
Fouf-year-old Daughter, Nearly
Starved, Found in Room of
Suicide.

Wash shinston, Aug. l9.-Four year
old Virginia Paterson, almost dead
from starvation, Has rescued this Of.
ternoon by the police out OF locked
room in a local apartment house that
for days held the child prisoner with
the dead body Of her mother, sui,
eide. An empty bottle labelled car
bolic acid and thrown on the floor
near the bed, told the police sell de
structiou. The carefully locked wiz
doBs and doors, led them to the belief
that the mother, suddenly deranged,
had planned that the child should fol.
low her to death. For two days,
neighbors in apartments nearby have
heard the plaintiff cries OF little Vir-
ginia, and several have seen her tear
full face pressed against the window
panes: But no one thought the child
was a prisoner in death chamber
and slowly starving. Her little feet
pattered back and forth across the
room and she tugged at the cold hands
of her mother, pounded with her baby
fists on the unyielding door, until
today, when the police burst into the
room, they found the little golden
haired baby crying pitifully on the
floor, SO exhausted that she could not
move.
Little Virginia lay on the floor a
feet away, from the body herself as
still as her mother. Hurriedly the
bluecoats caught up the child and ra-
vived her. She was rushed to the
hospital in an ambulance, her weak
voice @himpering over aud over again,
where's Mammal"
At the hospital, warm broth revived
the little girl but physicians say she
is still in precarious condition.
A search OF the apartment revealed
the fact that the dead woman had been
married three times.

WAS pEATT|E TO FLEE
AFTER THE MURDER?
Member of the Owen Family to take
the Stand--.Plans of Defense
Still Unknown.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 19.-EVidence
which it is alleged will support the
claim that Henry Clay Beattie, jr.,
contemp plated flight after reporting the
murder OF his wife, is in the possession
OF the prosecution, according to infor-
naton given today.
I1iWas reported that woman mem
Der OF the Owen family, at whose home
Louise Beattie was staying when she
started for the automobile ride that
ended in her murder, will testify that
when Beattie called at the house on
the night OF the 18th Of July, he went
to his wiie's room, and attempted to
sweep into a pocket handkerchief all
the jewels that we're lying on his wite's
dressing room table. The witness, it IS
said, will testify that, except for her,
self, this action was unnoticed by other
members of the family in the room,
but that she protested that watch,
which she says was included in the
jewelsy, did not belong to Mrs. Beattie.
but to her, and upon her calling at
tention to it, Beattie left it on the table.
The prosecution, it is asserted, will
claim that this plan of taking his wife's
Jewels indicated that Beattie was pre-
pairing to flee Immediately after tbs
crime.
The. weak link in the chain OF the
prosecutions evidence against Bsattle,
has been decided npon by the defense
as Paul Beattie, cousin Of the man who
on Monday will be gone trial for the
alleged murder Of his wife.
The defense will made every effort
to discrsdit Paul's damaging testimony
that he bought the shot gun with which
Mrs. Besttie was killed, and at the in
stance Of Henry Clay Beattie. Paul
says he delivered the gun to his copslu,
but there were no witnesses to this, and
on that point the defense will seek to
raise the question Of doubt.
Attornsy Smith, for the defense, to-
day denied that he had engaged DR..
Allison Hodges as alienist. Despite
this denial, it became known that Dr..
Hodges has been investigating the
mental history Of the Beattie family,
and that number ofprivate detectives
have been questioning Beattie's friends
to ascertain whether they thought him
mentally unsound.
To Offset the attempt which the de-
fense will make to break Paul Beattie's
alibi, that he was at his own home on
the night OF the murder, the prosecu'
ton, it became known today, has addi-
tional witnesses to swear to this EVIL
deuce. E. ]. Houchens, Paul's father
in.law, will swear that oa the night the
murder occurred he talked with Paul
over the phone for several minutes. Ad-
ditional witnesses will swear that they
heard Houchens call for Paul's mum.

the name OF Paul.
