TO SETTLE cHAMIzAL DISPUTE

Washington, Sept. 2.-The United
States government has begun further
negotiations with Mexico to settle
promptly by diplomacy the long stand
ing dispute between the two countries
over the ownership of the Chamizal
zone. which forms a considerable part
Of the city of El Paso. Texas. The
recent arbitration decision in the con-
troversy by Judge Kee Fleur of Can
ada, leaves the matter entirely un-
settled in the judgment of the United
States officials. According to experts,
IT is said the award provides no prac-
tical basis on which the international
boundary line could be specifically de-
termined.

kESTBERG WAS JOY RIDER
HE SAYS HE FEARS HIS TESTI-
u MoNY WILL ANGER HIS
WIFE
BEULAH BINFORD NOT. MOTIVE
ACcUSED'S BEST FRIEND SAYS
SHE WAS ONLY AN OLD
ACQUAINTANCE

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept,
2.-The defense in the Beattie trial
today laid stress on two important
points prior to closing its case with
the testimony of the prisoner himself
laten in the day. In one instance it at
tackled the theory of the prosecution
that Beulah Binford was the motive
OF the accused for numbering his wife
and in the other it assailed the tes-
timony Of the witnesses for the COM
monwealth who thought they saw
Beattie and his wife on the Midlothian
turnpike on the night of the murder.
William HI. Sampson, an intimate
friend and chum of the accused, told
on the witness stand of Beattie's re-
lations with Beulah Binford, pointing
out that when they were accidentally
renewed just before Mrs. Beattie was
murdered, there was no serious affec-
tion on the part of the prisoner, but
merely an episode of an old tines
dissipation.
The testimony of Charles H. Kest-
berg was new and reluctantly given
because witness admitted 1t might
embarrass him with his wife. He tes-
titled, however, that he was the man
who was motoring with a woman on
the Midlothian turnpike on the night of
the murder and whose machine sew
eral boys saw with woman on the
running board, while coimng from a
dance at Bon-Air.
The character of e. H. Neblltt, who
said he saw Paul Beattie on Sunday
July 16, with a shot gun, day after
he claims to have transferred the
weapon to his cousin Henry, was at
tackled today when the prosecution
on cross-examination of the witness
drew forth the admission that Neblitt
was once a convict and had vivid

CENTRAL RULING EFFECTIVE

New Orleans, Sept, Although
the local banks and the railroads are
ignoring the central bureau cotton
bills of lading valuation plan, which
went into effect in New York yester-
day, the Leyland and Harrison steam
ship lines, operating out of this port
to Europe, established the new sys-
tenn and in future will abide by the
requirements of the Liverpool bills

all bills of lading for cotton issued by
the lines are sent to the central bu-

of physicians in a hospital as result
of a ninety minute spell of sneezing.
Her experience, which is said to be
the long distance record except for
hay fever patients, was due to snuff

scattered near her while she was sing

The sneezing which followed lasted
exactly an hour and half continuous
ly before she could be relieved and
then only after being taken to a hos
pital, where 1t was said there would be
no permanent i'll results.

LESS RACE

Mexico City, Sept. with only fif-
teen votes separating them, Jose Pine
Suarez and DR.. Francisco Vasquez
Gomez, today renewed their contest
before the progressive convention for
the nomination for vice president of
Mexico. Alfredo Robes Dominguez,
who received only 297 votes last night
and who, therefore, under the rules,
is eliminated from the race, will, it
Is said urge his supporters to back
Suarez. Ferdinando Iglesias Calderon
doubtless also will be eliminated to-
day, his vote of 321 being added to
Dominguez's 297 and split up between
Vasquez Gomez and Pine Suarez.
The unexpected showing made by
Vasquez Gomez has increased the fear
on the part of the Pinostas that he
will get more of this potential vote.
The Yucatan candidates supporters
worked hard up to the opening hour
of the convention to secure pledges for
their candidates. The hackers of Cal |
1eron, while clinging to hope, were
to make promises. but it is
commonly believed that a fair major
ty of the votes polled last night by
Robles Dominguez will go to swell the
of Pine Suarez.
No
been known as a conservative vote,
the adherents of Pine Suarez are
counted on 10 give him a majority in
the final contest, since Vasquez Co
mez has acquired reputation for
radicalism rather than for conserva-
tism On this line of reasoning Pine
Suarez's hackers are forecasting his
nomination.
The Vasquezitas appeared no less
confident of success this morning, be-
lieving that their man will be carried
in on wave of popular sentiment
as a resl.l' ; the work which he did
during & evolution. The necessity
for repeating the roll call today made
it probable a vice president would
not be named before tonight or to-
morrow.
When the taking of vote for a
vice presidential nominee was half fin
ished this afternoon, DR.. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez was leading with Jose
Pine Suarez thirty votes behind.

CONFERENCE IS TERMINATED
AFTER THREE HOURS DISCUS.
SION WITH LABOR LEADERS,
HE CLOSES SUBJECT
NEXT MOVE UNDETERMINED
SEEMS LIKELY THAT GENERAL
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL
BE CALLED TOGETHER

oan FRANCISCO, Sept. Julius
Kruttschnit, vice president Of the Har.
riman system, left for the east at
O'Clock this morning over the Santa Fe
railway, He had no further confer
ence with the presidents of the res.
pective unions of the company's shop
employees before he left, and so far as
the railroad is concerned the situa-
tion is just as it was yesterday at
the close Of a three-hours' debate,
which ended in the positive refusal of
Kruttschnitt to recognize the fedora
ton of shop employees of the Har-
riman lines. The labor leaders made
no attempt to reopen the subject with
the company.
The meeting yesterday was final,
so far as we are concerned" said T.
w. Kline, president of the Black
smiths union and spokesman of the
labor leaders during yesterdays con-
ference.
Mr.. Kline intimated that call prob |
ably will be sent out at once for a |
general conference of the executive
committees of the unions included in
the federation. Apparently it is plan
ned to hold that meeting in this city.
A joint meeting Of the craft unions in
this city will be held today, it is ex-
pected, and the call for the general
conference will be discussed.
The prospects for a peaceable set
tlement of the trouble between the
shopmen and the officials took a more
favorable turn this afternoon when
it was learned that the union leaders
had again got into touch with the rail-
road men. A brief conference be-
tween some of the international union
officers and e. e. Calvin, general man.
ager and vice president of the South
ern Pacific, was secretly held and it
was also learned that another brief
meeting was held with Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt, prior to his departure for the
east.
The fact that the opposing interests
had resumed negotiations was care
fully guarded and neither side would
disclose the nature of the proceed
ings. Not all of the men composing
the committee were present at either
conference and the meeting with NJ.
Calvin and that with Mr.. KruttschniIt
were held at different times 1t was
after Mr.. Kruttschnitt's departure
that two or three of the labor leaders
saw Mr.. Calvin. There seemed to be
a general feeling that the situation
had cleared a little, though neither
side would disclose the reason for the
belief.
AS a result of today's meeting of
the international presidents, the ex-
ecutive committees of the various in
ternational unions have been sum-
moned by telegraph to San Francisco
and general conference will follow.
Although the international officers
have received vote of confidence
from the men and are fully empow
cred to act for them in regard to
their demands, they wish again TO
canvass the situation before taking
further decisive steps. This will be
done at the general meeting here noxr
week.
