ONE MAN INJURED
IN CAR COLLISION
B. R. CLANCY, in Hospital, Is
Likely to Recover.

One man was seriously injured and
more than a dozen persons received cuts
and bruises in a rear-end collision be-
tween an empty freight car and a
crowded passenger car OF the Great
Falls and Old Dominion Railway line
near the Arlington Brewery Company's
plant yesterday afternoon.
Benjamin r. CLANCY, twenty-eight
years old, of Park lane. was taken to
Georgetown University Hospital. He Is
suffering from severe cuts and bruises
on the face, hands and body. He will
recover, according to physicians, unless
be is internally injured.
CLANCY became frightened at the sight
Of the approaching freight car and at
tempted to jump through a window. In
stead Of jumping safely to the ground
he lost his balance. and crashed out Of
the window sideways.
Both cars were coming to Washington
when the accident happened. II Is
thought that the slackening of the speed
on the first car caught the motorman OF
the freight car unaware and that he
struck the crowded passenger car before
the brakes could bring his charge to q
stop.

didates for the United States Senate in
Virginia.
Opinion ordinarily of the most reliable
character Is to the effect that insurgent
Republicanism is now no more popular
than progressive Democracy was shown
to be in Virginia. But no positive views
can, Of course, be entertained until Presi-
dent Taft's forthcoming Western trip.
His speeches, as well as the reception
accorded them, are awaited with the
greatest interest, particularly because in
some OF the Republican strongholds in the
rural districts the party seems to be split
over the reciprocity issue.
The encouraging things about the polit-
ical situation were that he-only
development OF the week-the Vir-
ginia primaries-was favorable to busi-
ness progress, and that nowhere was
there noted a fresh outbreak Of radical
ism.
In the ARRANGEMENT Of affairs between
the railroads. and their employees in the
West, the discussion was entirely in Ia
Dor union councils The managers, hav-
ing refused the demands and clearly
stated their reasons, have busied them
selves on other matters, Indifferent as to
whether or not the men continue In the
company's employ. In the railroads It
may be more advantageous that the
unions provoke a conflict, for they were
never in better position to withstand q
strike, and a liquidation Of labor, which
is the only important liquidation left over
from 1907 may be desirable or necessary
in the event that rates are not read
justed on a basis profitable to the COM
panies. II a strike is declared, there
seems to be no doubt whatever that the
companies will be victorious, and in the
course Of the strike be injured very lit

New York, Sept. 10.-The stock market
was steadier in the first two trading
days last week. moving upward in con-
tinuation Of the rally which set in on
the last two days Of the preceding week.
The heavy liquidation which produced
the extreme decline in August seemed
to have ended with the end OF that
month. The market appeared oversold
and there was plainly in evidence a dis
position to consider once more the
favorable features of the situation and
to regard the August pessimism as hav-
ing run to extremes.
A fair Improvement in investment buy
ing of both stocks and bonds was In
evidence. But the market had re-
covered on the average only TWO points
of its twelve-point loss in August, when
II turned suddenly weak. and again es-
tablIshed new low records daily. In the
last three days of the week there was
no interruptIon whatever to the declin-
inc movement, except on the occasions
when the trading became oemoraIzeo'
and the close on Saturday was at the
low level of the year
For the sudden and unexpected re-
lapse there was no development In this
country sufficiently untoward TO provide
an explanation. few bad railroad
statements appeared. but these were
amply balanced by others that were IA
vorabIe Railroad labor troubles sim
mered down and attracted little atten-
tion The commercial data ordinarily
used IN appraise the volume OF busi-
ness indicated general Improvement.
There was, It is true. an unfavoraole
cron report, but the report was not pub
Iished until late Friday afternoon, by
which time most of the losses In secur-
flies had been sustained and prooaoly
had little effect, for II had been quite

BEATTIE JOINS IN
GUARDS SINGING
Bored by the Quietness of
the Country Jail.
By j. p. MADISON.

Richmond, Va, Sept l0-"Come over
here. boys, and let me join in with you,''
called Henry Clay Beattie, jr., tonight
through the bars of Chesterfield jail to
a couple cf deputy guards, who were
pealing forth a melody at a we'll in the
courthouse yard, a short distance away.
1t was after o'clock. and the young
convicted wife-slayer was getting ready
to retire by the light of a small coal
oil lamp that filtered fitfully in his cell
on the ground floor OF the prison.
The guards came to the prison windows
as requested, and in a moment the trio
were singing Down on the Farm" l"
Beattie's melodious tenor rising above
the voices of the other men. Then they
sang Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie, I"
in close harmony. Beattie was in his
shirt sleeves, and, as usual, was smoking
cigarette. Over toward the east, the
harvest moon was just rising, while a
few hundred yards down the country
road a negro revival was already in prog
ress.
What yuh gwine ter do, sinnah. when
yuh time rolls er-roun'" came in chorus
from the church.
That's good" remarked Beattie, hum
ming the words 10 himself.
About this time The Herald corre-
spondent walked up to the jail through
the dark, and asked to be allowed to
see the prisoner for few minutes.
Il wish you and that reporter would
move of a little" requested Beattie,
who was chatting with the other guard
at the window, and saying something
to the effect that he hoped they would
transfer him soon to the Henrico jail,
where II will not be so lonely.
Beattie ate hearty supper of scram-
bled eggs, beef stew, corn mullins, and
hot biscuits. During the morning hours
he read newspapers, and particularly
those containing his interview, In
which he put the blame on Beulah Bin
ford for his conviction, the interview
stating that the jury was prejudiced in
its consideration Of his case by the
fact that he had been on intimate
terms with the girl.
Douglas Beattie, his brother, called
during the morning. He was the pris-
oner's only visitor. his father having
been so prostrated by the verdict that
he did not venture out. In the after
noon, Beattte idled away most Nof his
time looking through the bars and

seek the salacious play, because the saIa-
cious play is the popular one. And so 1t
goes from bad to worse.
Il believe the best way TO correct
these abuses is for decent people to re-
main away from indecent plays and
places and to give their moral and finan-
cial support to the theaters whose boards

New York. Sept. 1o.-As an aid to the

"Ruskin says there are sermons in

OF sermons, passing before the theater-
goer the world over-a sermon to the
eye as it were. These sermons are either
good or not good. II good, they are not

Il wish 10 call your serious attention
to some certain and fixed rules essential
in polite vaudeville. These rules are no
idle notices, but must not be violated in
this theater. No song, word, line, or
situation will be permitted that would
not be entirely acceptable IN the drawing

Miss De Witt was asked whether she
considered the letter issued by the
AIoysius Truth Society too sweeping in
Its nature.
BY no means,'' she replied, very
seriously. 1T is a sad fact that the
morals OF many Of our young people are
being corrupted by the vice and immor-
ality paraded in many theaters under
pleasing disguises. It has reached a
stage where the vigilant father hesitates
to give his young daughter permission
to attend a theatrical performance until
ae has investigated the nature and ouaIi-
ty Of the play. How often does It hap
pen that young man and young woman
will go to a frst-class theater for the
purpose Of enjoying what they suppose
viii be an innocent and clean amuse-
ment, only 20 become embarrassed and
ashamed at witnessing the most i'm
modest and at times fiagrantly immoral
performances on the stage. This will
