the Commonwealth.

Chesterfield Court House. Va, Aug.
24-With the jury selected and with
the witnesses for both sides sub
i pGenaed, the trial Of Henry Clay Beat
tie, Jr., Of Richmond, indicted for wife
murder, began IN earnest here today
with the opening Of the case. For the
first time since his arrest Beattie
slept away from Richmond last night.
Held for weeks In the Henrico coun-
ty jail he was brought here yesterday
and placed In the little red brick
lookup fifty yards from the old court
house. III,
The first witness called for the
commonwealth was Thomas Owen, the
uncle Of the murdered young wife,
summoned to testify how Beattie
brought the body to Owens home
with his story Of a man in the road
way firing into his automobile and
killing Mrs. Beattie.
The bloodstained automobile in
which Louise Owen Beattie met her
death was driven into the yard Of the
Chesterfield court house early today
just before the trial was resumed.
The prisoner was on the lawn when
the machine arrived and calmly In
spected 1t. His father raised the
cushion OF the front seat, revealing
mass Of coagulated' blood on the
wood work.
Court convened at 10:30 O'Clock
and the prisoner took his seat
promptly. Today was the first anni-
versary Of his marriage to the wo-
man he is accused of numbering.
More than slEty Witnesses. sub

fixedly at him Owen told how Beat

OF the murder took his young wife
Into the car and returned an hour
later with the dead body beside him.
Owen told how the body was lifted
from the car. He said he did not ex-
anime the body at that time. When
1T was prepared for burial, however.
he saw the wound In the left cheek,
which he described as being "as biz
as half dollar"
Beattte's blood-stained clothes were
unrolled before the jury and the Wit
ness Unidentified them. The single
barreled shotgun with which the CON.
monwealth says the shot was fired,

The discussion so far has been
along the lines of a policy and plans
for the organization of county leagues.
The method of financing the propo-

The committee turned down the
proposition Of some LaFollette BOOM

come here and help organize the
leagues and the local league claims

PORTER JoHNsoN's ADDRESS.

Brother c. Porter Johnson, promi
ncnt lawyer and one Of the best public
speakers in Missouri, delivered the
memorial address for the Elks in St
Joseph, Mo- He said in part:
Il am sometimes led to believe that
this earth is but a tomb in which are
buried the highest hopes and noblest
aspirations of our race. From sen
ticnt being, the bravest and the truest
must pass into fadeless time, that all
our achievements, of hearts, and brain,
ana hand, will vanish and pass away
and be lost in the dust that settles
about the crumbling works of man,
that nothing that is material endures
All such is transient and passing. The
mountains remain, but the vegetation
of the valleys withers with the touch
of time.
THE history of our race teaches us
the sad lesson that man, with all his
strength, and science with all her
achievements, cannot stay the hand
that withers and deadens all things
The wise men of all ages have serious.
ly p0ndered the question: does death
end all? Is this life the finale of eX
istence? 1t cannot be denied that all
material things have their beginning
and their end in this world that rank
and wealth begin and end here; that
so far as we can see and appreciate
this life is complete at the tomb. But
we feel an abiding assurance that there
is in man a living force that survives
| the grave and endures in endless days
! If this be not true, then all that we
/ term Civilization may as well be
swept away. The impulses to live
honestly and properly had as well be
disregarded and overcome by our bas-
or motives.
IF We are but animals, what differs
, the grade of our instinct? If mans
love and reverence for higher and
nobler things, which connect with and
hold on to Immortality is but vague
instinct or superstition, then the bat
tie of the ages for. higher ideals and
loftier moral and spiritual conditions
have been in vain. The race of life is
not worth the running. The struggles
Of love and tenderness made by the
noble motherhood of all ages makes a
mOCkery Of creatures and puts to
scorn the thought of progress, and at
once reduces the best in the heart of
man to the level of the fading instincts
of the beasts of the field and forest.
Such thoughts do not satisfy the des-
olate waste of materialism into the
bright glory of Immortality

Then was visited the Pacific Insti-
tute of Art, Science and Commerce, the
noblest piece of architecture in our
city. This building came after the
universal peace treaty and opening III
the Panama Canal. The marvellous in
crease in trade caused thereby, with
the substitution of electricity as Il mo-
tive power, made this island the great
emporium of the Pacific. In this build

have their representatives, and their
chambers of commerce meet in annual
