END TRIP IN
MOTOR BOAT
Much Anxiety Felt for Little
Craft From HuQusnot.

Apprehension among the many
friends in this city of Gustav
Schmidt, a sculptor and mopfder of
wax figures, was brought to a sud
den termination late yesterday at
ternooD, when through a postal card
received at Huguenot Park, it was
learned that Mr.. Schmidt, his son
Walter and a friend who had accom-
panied them, arrived In H~orner's,
Va, on Thursday after a p~erilous
journey from here on board Mr..
Schmfdt's motor boat, the Mermaid.
Nothing was heard from any MEM
Der of the party from March 27, the
day of their departure on board of
the motor boat from Huguenot Park,
until the post card was received yes
terday by H. P. Drummer, proprietor
of a hotel at that place.
During the winter Mr.. Schmidt and
his sons had worked constantly up
the construction of the motor
boat. After several trial trips In the
bay he determined to use the craft to
carry him, his youngest son, and a
friend, a Mr.. Baker, who volunteered
to join the party, to their new home.
From Raritan Bay the motor boat
entered the Raritan canal and fol
lowed that route to- the Delaware
river, from which 1t entered the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal.
Here trace of the boat was lost by
friends of It's occupants.
It is believed that severe weather
was encountered by the members of
the party while the Mermaid was pro
ceeding down the Chesapeake Bay,
that the engine gave out and that the
boat was driven into some isolated
spot from which 1t Is impossible for
Mr.. Schmidt and his party to COM
munieate with their friends. When
the boat left here provisions were ia
ken along to last for only four days.

HOW To MARK TICKETS.
Erroneous Impression as to Suffrage
Privileges Entertained by Certain
Voters in Coming Primary.

There are some persons who have
been heard to say that they intend to
vote for Jones and Martin or for Glass
and Swanson in the coming senatorial!
primary and the existence of many
split" tickets is heard.
Possibly some have the idea that
they can vote for Glass and Swanson or
for Jones and Martin. They can do
nothing of the sort. Martin and Jones
arc candidates for the long term, and
the voters can vote for only one candi-
date for the long term. If voter favors
Jones he will have chance to vote for
him, but he cannot also vote for Mar
tin for The same position.
The same thing is true as regards
Glass and Swanson-theY are candi-
dates for the short term, and when the
voter goes to the polls he will have to
cast his ballot for one of them.
On the other hand, if there is voter
who desires to vote for just one Of the
four candidates he can do so by erasng
the names of the other three.
The arrangement of the names on
the ticket is secret, Of course, but the
names will appear something like this

BEATTIE AND BEULAH RENFORD
When, through May Stuart, a con-
fessed proprietress ola disorderly house
in Richmond, the prosecution at Ches-
terrified Courthouse yesterday got in
evidence the fact that on the night
before the death OF Mrs. Beattie,
Henry G. Beattie and Beulah Binford
we're in each others company at May
Stuart's place, the defense made no
attempt to refute this fact through the
breaking down of the woman's testl-
mony.
After having May Stewart describe
how Beattie and his 17-year-old COM
panion had visited her place, the COM
monwealth introduced in evidence a
letter written by the defendant to the
Binford girl and identified as such at
the inquest. Penned on his fathers
business stationery, Beattie wrote in
part,
Dear Kid Pay this on the furniture
and make him give you an itemized ac-
count of what you must pay each week.
Well, be good With oceans of love,
trimming with kisses, yours,
Hon"
The boy showed no emotion when
the letter was read, but the elder Beat
tie held palm-leaf fan in front of his
face.
Robert Y. Owen and his wife,
parents OF The murdered wife of Henry
c. Beattie, ir.. will not go from Dover,
Del, to Chesterfield to testify against
the alleged slayer unless there shall
be an extraordinary condition. They
are at their home with the unnamed
II. week-old infant son of their
daughter. The Discrimination to APP
pear in the case is due to the personal
friendship that exists between Henry
G. Beattie, sr., and themselves. We
never lose sight of the fact" said Mr..
Owen yesterday, THAT Mr.. Beattie is
the grandfather of our little grand
child. He has our sympathy" He
sai, that neither he nor his wife has
been summoned.
