PROPOSED NEW PAVING.
Street Committee Advertising for
Work on Alfred Street. Work
Contemplated On Other
Streets,

Enough signatures OF property ownels 8
on Alfred street, between King and
Prince: have been received to warrant
the city in advertising for proposals for
placing modern Improvements on that
square.
Papers are being circulated among
property-owners on Washington street,
between King and Cameron, for she
purpose OF taking out the hip" in that
square and paving the same with yitri-
fed brick.
People who own property on Wash
ington street, between Prince and Duke.
are also desirous OF having the same
style roadway on that square, and
petitions are heing circulated for tho
purpose Of obtaining enough signatures
to warrant the city in advertising for
bids for the work.
Papers are also heing circulated
among property owners on Patrick
street, between Prince and Duke, for
an improved roadway on that square.
While no papers have as yet been
circulated, it is believed most Of the
people owning property on Washington
street, between Cameron and Queen,
will eventually sign for vitrified brick
roadway on that square. An improved
roadway on Cameron street from Royal

possible in the near future.

The fact that Rev. J. j. Fix, pastor
OF Porter Street Presbyterian Church,
Richmond, has been requested by the
father of Henry Clay Beattie, ir., to
serve as spiritual adviser, is taken as an
indication that the elder Beattie has
practically given up hope of saving bis
son from the electric chair.
The minister called on Henry for the
first time yesterday morning at the
city Jail and remained with him for
nearly half an hour. What passed
between them the minister would not
disclose.
If Beattie decides 10 confess to the
crime OF wife murder, OF which he
stands convicted. before he goes to the
electric chair. he will most probably
unbosom the secret to his spiritual ad'
wiser.
Beattie's father has been an elder
in Porter Street Church for nearly g
quarter Of q century, and he has
always taken an active part in it
affairs.
1t developed yesterday that Henr!
Beattie joined the church when quite
youth. In later years, however, h
he has rarely attended services, though
his name is still on the church roll.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
TRTTSTS.

President Taft Yesterday plunged
into the political phase OF his long trip
through the west and delivered one OF
the set speeches which may have
a discriminating effect upon his future.
Mr.. Taft chose THE Trusts" for
his first appeal to the people and out
lined at length bis position regarding
this ever pregnant issue.
In second speech he answered the
charge that he had used patronage to
further his own ends and boldly chal-
lenged the men who had made the ac-
cusation to come forward and join him
in an extension of the civil service to
practically all OF the appointive offices
under the government
Mr.. Taft's free use of the words I
challenge" gave a complete ring to his
utterances, which seemed to delight his
hearers.
The President defended the Supreme
Court decisions in the oil and tobacco
trust cases. He challenged William
]. Bryan to point out what particular
contact in restraint on trade he would
condemn which would not be con-
demned within the definition Of the
statute as laid down in the decision.
He declared that persons who do not
understand the decisions and really do
not understand the law have had a
great deal to say about them. He
p leadedthat it was not fair to the court
to say that it had read the word
s'reasonable"s into the statute. He an
nounced that he was entirely opposed
to any amendment of the antitrust
law, which, he said, was now a yalu'
able government asset, tested and
brought into beneficial use by 90 year:
of litigation and construction by the
highest courts.
