BEATT|E
 ARRA|CNED FOR MURDER OF WIFE
Application of Prisoners Counsel for Week s Delay
 Denied by Court Prosecution Tells Judge that Detective Employed by Defense Threatened States Witness.
(SpeciaI from United PressO

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Aug. ther delay by his lawyers, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., was, today arraigned for the murder of his wife.
 Judge Watson denied an application for another weeks delay and ordered Beattie to the bar. Pale and wan, as result of his months imprisonment but otherwise debonair, Beattie took his place in the dock Then followed the usual motion to quash the indict- ment which was purely formal and was quickly overruled.
 Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. stand up,' shouted the clerk of the court and with a smile the accused man arose, leaning heavily on the desk before him.
 While the clerk, in a droning voice, read to the accused the indictment, the courtroom was hushed, Beattie standing motionless, the center of in- terest.
 How do you plead?" demanded the clerk. "Not guilty said Beattie, in a low voice, and his fight for life was on.
 The bitterness with which the legal fight for Beattie's life will be carried or1 cropped out when Attorney Smith demanded that the defense be Sup- piled with a list of the Common wealth's witnesses. Special Prosecu- tor Wendenburg agreed to supply the list but astounded the court by the following statement:
 There is one incident in connection with this discussion of witnesses which should be called to Your Hon. OTIS attention. One of the witnesses for the Commonwealth-a man named John Josephs-had identified the de- fendant as connected with certain transactions. An amateur detective named Ridd who has been associated with the defense, threatened this wit ness. He, told Josephs: You did not see Beattie. you are not sure he was the man and if you say he was, we'll send you to iail.'."
 Wendenburg's accusation was imme- diately disclaimed by counsel for the defense but the prosecutor declared he would demand an attachment for the young detective.
 The first talesman examined N W. Farley, 37. a farmer was allowed to take the first seat in the jurybox. He still remained subject to peremtory challenge. Within an hour three men were in the jury box. Following the acceptance of Farley, R. Henry Car rington and Charles P Wilkinson were allowed to take their places, and a few minutes later E. L.. Wilson was accepted. This put four men in the box out of the first 10 examined The practice in Virginia provides for the swearing in of 16 jurymen. Four of these the defense may remove by per emptory challenge
 Early this afternon the seventh seat in the jurybox had been filled.

MORBID MURDER TRIAL.
Farmers Gather Around Chesterfield Courthouse As If It Were a
 County Fair

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Aug. 21.-Slightly pale, puffing nervously at his eternal cigarette, but with no ether outward sign of emotion, Henry Clay Beattie, today, faced trial for the murder of his wife.
 Chesterfield courthouse, hid away in a thicket of oak and hemlock, was noisy and gay in preparation for the morbid fete-the biggest murder trial in it's history. The stringy- bearded. tobacco chewing farmer came to "co't day. as if it were county fair wagged their shaggy chins and dis cussed crops and the weather as the pale, anaemic youth who has spent the last month in Henrico County jail, was unloaded from an automo- bile, under heavy guard, to take his place at the dock.
 Beattie was as debonair as he has been since his arrest, when Detective Scherer led him from the automobile to the courtroom. Seemingly enjoy ing the gaping-mouthed, attention be- slowed on him by the countrymen, he swa aggered through the line of men guarding him, smiling in a superior way.
 Deeming the presence of Beulah Binford, the "other woman,' unneces- sary, the court authorities left her in Henrico jail. Her place in the triangle of murder was left vacant

gan-Guggenheims to get control of Alaska? The power will lie in their control of docks, wharves. mountain passes and the outlet to the markets v
 LaFollette asserted that the govern ment should regard itself as board of directors pledged to proper care and development of a property 1n which the American people were stock holders.
 "The first step" he continued, should be the creation of proper transportation facilities. The govern ment should own and build these fa- cilities. The wharves, docks, railroads and terminals in Alaska should at once be acquired by the government.
 ''The government should own and operate at least one great coal mine to supply it's naval and military needs and to sell the surplus at a reasonable profit as check against extortion by private corporations developing other mines.
 "The sensible and practical thing to do is to create board of public works for Alaska. similar to the Isth- milan Canal Commission. This board should then undertake, not merely to build a railroad from Controller Bay to the coal fields, but should now ac- quire all of the railroads in Alaska and settle at once the policy of gov
  larly provide for the development of other public utilities, such as the telegraph and telephone. It should operate and develop the wharyes, docks and steamship lines, if neces- sary. to deliver the produce of Alaska to the market
 LaFollette declared that the Amer ican people could afford to make a small profit on this investment and this small profit would cheapen the products. He said the products are now high and would be high while the n-Guggenheims were in con- troI and demanding their customary profits He referred to the administration of the Panama Canal Zone as a precedent to gov- ernment administration of all utilities.

 Our future naval power on the Pacific Ocean, he declared. depends upon the utilization of the coal of Alaska"
 As further check, LaFollette pro- posed extension of leasing system to the coal deposits

SIGNATURES TO REFERENDUM PETITIONS TO PUT BONDING
 BILLS TO BALLOT FLOW IM
Great Interest Being Shown by Electors Number of Signatures Now in
 Hand, 728

The campaign for referendum sig natures for the submission of $8OO, ,O00 in bond isues is proceeding steadily. There is every indication that the nec- essary number of names will be pro- cured before the expiration of the 30 days allowed under the several bond ing acts
 There are still a few people who do not understand the question. This is indicated by queries addressed to the Farmer by voters.
 It is very simple. It is as simple as this:
 Do you, MT. Voter, want to decide whether the city shall be bonded for $SO0,00O, or not bonded, and if so, what for?''
 A bond is a mortgage upon the prop erty of the citizens. Sometimes, nevertheless, bonding is necessary and advantageous. But it is an extraor- dinary measure, and one that should be passed upon by the people them selves. The Common Council took this view of the matter. They decid- CT that no bonds ought to issue unless under certain conditions they are ap- proved by the people.
 This view was also taken by Sena- tor Archibald McNeil, Jr., and the r>iI ~-~--0,-4 Se,o ta>-e .,nS R~p,ro-

Governor Takes Notice of Vice Presidential Boom and States His Att

Senator Archibald McNeil, 'Jr., Says that the Support Will Come Fast and with a Big Hurrah.
Special from United Press.)

(Speclal rom United PreSS.)
 New Haven Aug. Ex-Governor Sim con E. Baldwin, of Connecticut, today, with characteristic reserve, tookfor- nal notice of the boom to present his name to the Democratic convention as a candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States.
 1T have understood that for some months my name has been mentioned in connection with the Vice-Presi- dency in several states of the east and middle vest he said ''I am not a candidate for any office whatever and should not make any effort to establish a nomination.
 eff it is thought by my party friends that my nomination would tend in any way to strengthen the the chances of Democratic success, next year. and it came to me, l cer- tainly. should not decline it"
 Governor Baldwin was hopeful of Democratic victory, next year. The work of the Democrats of Ohio has made the party solid with the people, he believes.
 This was Governor Baldwin's first statement on the mention of his name in connection with the second place on the national ticket. It was in- spired by the story published, yester- day, to the effect that Governor Bald- win would welcome the support of the Connecticut delegation to the next Democratic National Convention.
 The desired support will be given with a hurrah, according to Senator McNeil. The boom will be left in it's budding stage until after the fall elections, this year. and then we'll organized movement in Baldwin's be- half will be pushed.

 AtwoOd's schedule calls for his de- parture from this city at about 3:3O o'clock, this afternoon. The aviator plans a big day on Wednesday when he hopes to fly from Albany to New York, 145 miles, without stop and at rate of speed that will greatly eclipse the figures made by Glenn Curtiss, the only aviator to have bridged the two cities
 Atwood's manager gave out the fol- lowing tentative schedule:
 Leave here shortly after 3:3O o'clock, fly over Auburn Fair grounds and state Prison. so that convicts may see machine at o'clock, reach Syra- cuse at 5 o'clock, making brief stop in Burnet Park. Reach Utica about 6 o'clock.
