On account of few untimely errors
Hotchkiss scored one run in the Sth
and three in the ninth. Hotchkiss
has fast bunch of ball players. 1t

A GENERAL STRIKE
IS BEING PLANNED.
Action of Southern Pacific Officials
will, it is Said, Precipitate a
General Waik0ut.

San Francisco, Sept. 2.-The general
committee of the unions involved in
the threatened trouble between the
shopmen OF the Hartman lines and
the management OF those roads, will
probably be summoned to San Fran
cisco Immediately to consider general
strike.
This was the announcement made to-
daY by the international president Of the
blacksmith's union, who acted as
spokesman for the union leaders who
have conferred with Julius Kruttschnitt
and other high officers of the South ern
Pacific Railroad. Although Krutschnitt
told the union leaders that it was i'm
possible for the Hartman lines to
recognize the proposed system fedora
ton, the representatives OF the EN-.
ployes have not yet abandoned hope
They made no announcement today
of their plans, but it is believed they
will seek another conference with
Kruttschnitt before deciding to call a
general strike.
The shopmen are all eager to walk
out, the leaders say, and have already
voted to strike if recognition of the
system federation is not granted.
Kruttschnitt based his refusal TO recog-
nize the federation OH the ground that
such recognition would hamper the
Hartman railroads in performing their
duty to the public.

Binford care OF Henry Clay Beattie.
Henry turned the letter over to me
through the mail carrier. I told him
I was going down to Norfolk and if |
saw Beulah down there, I'd give her
good time in his name. He said that
he'd like to 20 and I told him be had
better not say he was going with me
because he hadn't been around with
me since he was married. We went to
Norfolk separately and met there. I
called up Beulah and We went around
and met her. I got Henrietta Pitman
aud we went around for two days. We
visited disreputable places and went
out to parks"
Sampson declared that Wher he left
Norfolk he had no reason for believing
Beulah Binford would come to Rich
mond. He declared he had received a
telegram saying she was coming to
Richmond. He met her at the station
without telling Henry anything about
it. I took her to dinner and during
the dinner i called Henry up" he
said "and he came over with his ma
chine" IL

ton in Richmond. Very bad. kept her
at the station until it was dark because
l didn't want to be seen with her.
After we met Henry rode out
around the reservoir. Beulah said she
didn't know where to stay and l sug-
gested she go to Mary Stewards house
o the red light district. /"
Sampson declared that Rsulah Bin
ford told him she was going to Dan
VILE aud only stopped at Richmond to
the her sister.
why was she going to Danville?".
She was going into disreputable-
house there.
"yNe only stayed ten or fifteen min.
u.es at May Stewards house. Nothing
improper happened that night. I saw
Henry and Beulah Binford together
three times after that"
How did Henry appear to regard
herr"
did he treat he as man would
treat a woman for whom he had
serious affection?" asked Judge Wat
son.
No"
Did lie know she was running With
other men?"
Yes"
Before beginning the cross.examlna'
ton Wendenburg also allowed Smith to
put on several character witnesses to
establish the reputation OF Ernest
Schlitt, who testified to seeing Pau
Beattie with shot gun on Sunday
morning. -.
"Were you with Henry Clay Beattie
| ir. the Saturday night prior to to
murder" asked Smith. This is the
night that Paul declared he gave Henry
the gun and that Henry placed it IN
his automobile. Sampson said he saw
Beattie ia his auto about one O'Clock
that night and started to get in the
rear seat but finally climbed in beside
Henry in the front seat. He wa:
positive there was no gun in the cal
then.
After the examination OF severa
character witnesses the noon recess
was taken and Simpsons cross.examl
