Especial from United Press )

Richmond, Va, Nov 2S.-The fath- CT, sister and brother of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., looked upon his living face for the last time, today.
 The ministers and family attorney were the first visitors to the death cell, but soon afterward the broken hearted, grief torn father, the pitt fully pathetic sister and brother, who holds up, best but also is near col lapse, arrived at the prison.
 It was the day of the last fare wells for the family. The ministers reported that the prisoner had inn proved in spirit since he had accept ed religion and that he was prepared for his ordeal.
 With less than "A hours of life left to him, the young wife-murderer knelt in prayer, It was strangely sad scene in the death cell when the whole family joined in prayer. It was reproduction, with fearful variations, of family prayer about the mothers chair. The absence of the mother was the great comfort in the bleeding heart of the grayhaired man who looked into the eyes of his fav- orite son for the last time.
 Beattie will be executed between 7:20 and 7:25, tomorrow morning. Following the custom of a prisoner about to die, he will probably arise about 5:30 o'clock and, after being shaved, will be given breakfast.

Powers May Soon Take Hand In
 Chinese Affairs
Massacre of Foreigners Still Go ing on and Anti Foreign Feel ing Getting Stronger Every Day
Especial from United Press, ,

Pekin, Nov. 23.-The massacres of foreigners is still going on in Shen Si Province, according to information received here, today. This is the same province in which 2,O08 Man chus have been slaughtered It is al- so reported that foreigners are being murdered in Yun Nan. Five thou sand corpses strew the battlefield at Hankow, as a result of two days fighting. The anti-foreign agitation is assuming a most dangerous char acter.
 The development of anti-foreign outbreaks is taken by every one here as foreshadowing almost immediate intervention by. the powers in Chinese affairs. The only reason there has not already been vigorous interven- ton is because the powers themselves cannot agree upon a plan.
 Premier Yuan Shi Kai is taking advantage of the confusion among the nations with interests in the ern- pire to play one against the other. It is believed the Premier would not oppose intervention if assured it would save the throne. He is con- stantly conferring with the ministers and ambassadors here.
 Stories that an attempt was made to assassinate Yuan, Monday, lack confirmation. There is no doubt the revolutionaries would like a chance to take his life, however.

 Washington, Nov. 23-In scathing decision, Justice Daniel Thew Wright, today. refused to dismiss the contempt charges against President Gompers, vice. president Mitchell and Secretary Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor, in the famous Bucks Stove & Range Company case, in the district supreme court. This means that he will again attempt to force the labor murred to the report of a special prosecuting committee which recom- mended renewed proceedings.
 Justice Wright decided against them and took occasion to flay the labor leaders.
 The supreme court Of the United States, last spring, dismissed the de- .fendants who then were under jail sentences pronounced by Justice gave it's decision, without prejudice against renewed action The labor leaders had not actually been com mttted to jail. The case arose from the publication of the name of the Bucks concern in an unfair list in vio- lation of an injunction. The trouble between organized labor and the , but Justice Wright holds that this has no bearing on the offense against the dignity of the court.
 The court held that the statute of limitations for prosecution of crime has no application to prosecution for contempt of court and that the con- tentfon of the labor leaders that the alleged contempt was committed more than three years ago, is meritless. Three days were given to counsel for the defendants to reach an agreement with the committee of prosecutors as to the appointm ont Of a comnis- sioner Or special examiner to take tes- timony in the case. If an agreement cannot. be reached within that time, the court will appoint one.
 Wright, in opening, referred to the mature of the specifications saying that " their cflaracser is serious and grave, seeking as tfey do, to involve, if true, declared anfriendliness to social order, plain and purposed re- pudiatton of the triL anals of the peo- pie, a defiance of the supreme law of the iaud.s'
 The opinion was read by Justice Wright, with his five associates sit ting in general session. The court was crowded.
 Justice Wright held that there was no charge of crime, saying:
 Were contempt of court a crime the accused would be entitled to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusationi and to be confronted with witnesses against him.
 tThe court is quite thoroughly aware that there is to be found on the books no dirth of general expres- sions to the effect that the proceed ings for the punishment of contempt are quasi criminal criminal in their nature, penal and the like, but no where has the court even inadvert- ently said that contempt of the au- thority of Federal court was a spe- cific crime
 Notice of a special appeal to the court of appeals was filed by counsel for the defendants An attempt will be made to carry the case to the up- per courts before testimony is taken.
