Chesterfield Court House, Va,
Aug. 29.-Paul D. Beattie, cousin Of
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., who stands
indicted for the murder of his wife
testified late yesterday that the ac-
cused had told him "a hours after
the murder how sorry he was che
had done It," circumstance relat-
ing to the crime that the witness
hitherto had suppressed.
Coming as dramatically and as un-
eXpectedly as the pathetic tale an
hour before of Mrs. R. v. Owen
mother of the dead woman, as to the
domestic infelicity of her daughter
as result Of the husbands disease
the brief but thrilling testimony Civ
en- by Paul Beattie created a pro-
found sensation.
Paul Beattie, at the coroner's In
quest nervous wreck, but TODAY
strong and determined, poured out a
tale which confessedly had troubled
his mind, not only because he pur-
chased the shotgun for Henry, but
because he had not until today told
all he knew of the case.
IL hated to testify against my owl
flesh and kim" he murmured, "but
my wife, my child and the duty
owe to my city forced me to do So
Henry himself told me that he want
ed me to stick by him, but / said to
him: This looks mighty black to
me, and you've got me into lot of
trouble
Henry told me 4 wish to God I
had not done 1t. I would not have
done it for $1,OOO,OOO, but she nev-
er loved me. She only married me
for my money"
It was late when this statge of the
trial was reached, and adjournment
was taken until this morning, when
cross-eXamination will continue.

Will FORFEIT
THREE MONTHS
OF HIS SALARY

Because he neglected to file with
the secretary of state his oath of Of
flee in time, E. S. Van Dyke, deputy
district attorney for the First judicial
district, will forfeit three months
salary.
Van Dyke was appointed by law
passed by the Legislature. In order
to give the people of the county an
abundance of time to apply the refer
endum to it the legislature provided
that it should not go into effect for
ninety days after it would naturally
go into effect by operation of law
making 1S0 days in all
The attorney general ruled that the
clause requiring the suspension of the
law for the additional ninety days was
unconstitutional. When the act by
operation of law went into effect on
May 20, Van Dyke filed his oath with
the county clerk, but did not file it
with the secretary of state until Au
gust 25. Attorney General Crawford
now holds that his neglect to do so
will cause under the law forfeiture
of a three months salary.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Is One, and This Would Mean Either
Mining and Selling by the Gov.
ernment at Practically Cost, or the
Adoption of a Carefully Guarded
Leasing Systematic Seems to In
cline to the former.

Cordova, Alaska, Aug. 29.-(By ca
Bile to United Press)-In talk with
leading citizens of Cordova, where
feeling on the coal question is so high
that some months ago practically the
whole population turned out to dump
cargo of British Columbia coal into
the bay, Secretary of the Interior Wal
ter |. Fisher outlined his fundamental
policy in dealing with the resources
of Alaska
He said that in settling the larger
problem of the remaining natural re-
sources of Alaska, the interest to be
considered is the good of the whole
community. This will not be served
by turning the coal over to unre-
stricted private exploitation The OBJ
ject should be prompt and wise devel-
opment
Two methods are especially promi-
nent before congress and the country.
One method is private operation under
public supervision by means of liberal
but carefully guarded leasing law The
other method is direct operation by
the government and the sale of the
coal to the people at actual cost, in
cluding, however, all elements that
make up the cost.
Both methods are worthy of consid-
Grafton.
IF government ownership should be
adopted, where would you have the
government stop in dealing with such
matters?" he was asked.
AT the point where it appears that
taking the total effects into consider
alton, private enterprise can better
serve the needs of the whole COM
munity, than public enterprise" he
answered. Understand me-" he con
tinued, 81 am not now committing
myself to either policy, ! have not
finished my investigation. But | shall
recommend the policy which in my
judgment seems to promise the best
results for all concerned"
In their formal address to Secretary
Fisher, Cordoya citizens have urged
that present laws be so amended that
the title to the coal lands can be ac-
quired by those having the desire and
the ability to mine and ship the coal.
Taken literally, this could mean no
more than handing the coal over to
millionaire eXploiters
Fisher appears to have won the CON
fidence of Cordova citizens, and the
significant thing is that the people
here now seem entirely willing to do
some further thinking about what the
American people ought to do with
their wealth of Alaskan coal.

Paul Beattie GrilIed.

Chesterfield Court House, Va,
Aug. 29.-Such a grilling as has
rarely been heard in Virginia court
room was given Paul Beattie here to-
day during his ss-examination by
Attorney Harry M. Smith, who Is de-
Tending Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., from
the charge of wife murder.
Shaken as he was by the lawyers

tie stood to his guns, and, though he
contradlcted himself in minor de-
tails, he stuck grlmly to his story
that he had purchased for the prls-
oner, his cousin, the gun with which
the latter Is accused of having shot
his wife to death on the lonely Mid
lothian pike.
Paul Beattle denied that after the
tragedy he told his fellow workmen
that he did not believe Henry was
guilty.

Situation Discussed.

San Francisco, Aug. 29.-Practical
certainty that Julius Krutschnitt, vice
president and general manager of the
Hartman lines, will refuse to receive
as representative of the shopmens
system federation-the heads of five
unions now coming westward, and
that strike on the Hartman lines
will result was the declaration of
labor leaders here today.
Disgusting his declaration in a maze
of words, Krutschnitt states that the
railroads under his control can not
and will not recognize any federation
of the unions under their employ. He
has announced formally that he will
confer with j. w. Kline as president
of the blacksmiths; j. A. Franklin as
president of the boilermakers; M. F.
Ryan as president of the car workers;
M. OSullivon as president of the sheet
metal workers, and ]. d. Buckalew as
vice president of the machinists.
But the Hartman manager today
makes no secret of his intention to
refuse to meet the labor leaders as
representing one united body.
The danger in the situation lies in
the fact that the men of the shops,
already disgruntled over wholesale
dismissals, will escape control should
the federation officials fail to gain an
audience with Kruttschnitt. In that
case it is feared that they may not
wait for an official order to strike.
Although when he left Chicago on
August 25 Kruttschnitt announced that

PRESIDENT
SAYS TAFT is UNGRATEFUL, AND
IF DEMOCRATS HAD NOT STOOD
BY HIM WOULD HAVE BEEN
IN ANDY JOHNSON CLASS.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1Rn.l

Quincy, ILL.,, Aug. 29.-Replying to
President Taft's speech delivered al
Hamilton, Mass, last week, Speaker
Champ Clark of the house of repre-
sentatives today gave the executive a
sharp grilling, saying that if it had
not been for the house Democrats Taft
would be a thoroughly discredted Of
ficial today.
In charging the president with in
gratitude Clark asserted that the
Hamilton speech was a bald mis-
statement of historical facts"
81 personally accept Taft's on
slaught as a badge of honor" said the
Democratic speaker, adding that if the
tariff board delays revising the tariff
downward the Democrats likely will
cut off its appropriation.
His attack on the Democrats is
ungrateful,' insisted Clark, because
if it had not been for the Democrats
in the house of the SiXty-first and
SiXty-second congresses in lining up
unanimously in favor of Canadian re-
ciprocity he would have been the most
thoroughly discredited president since
the days of Andrew Johnson.
THE only politics we played were
to keep faith with the people and re-
ligiously redeem the promises made
in order to win the 1910 elections
the best sort of politics.
"If any politics was played on recip-
rocity, the president played it-per-
sonal, at that. He seems to think we
should have adjourned as soon as re-
ciprocity was disposed Of He seems
to think congress is composed of a
lot of school boys, to be ordered about
by him as teacher He appears to
hope that the consumers will kiss his
hand-the hand that smote them.
"The president implies that he re-
fused to sign the wool bill because it
was introduced and rushed through
without consideration. Let us see.
The Democrats met in caucus Janu-
ary 10 and selected a committee on
ways and means. The bill was re-
ported the middle of April, three
months in the preparation of one
schedule, whereas the hearing on the
Payne bill with IA schedules required
little more than four months.
1--WE devoted ten and one-half times
as much time to each schedule as did
Brother Payne and his Republican CO.
adjutors on the ways and means COM
mittee. Nevertheless and notwith-
standing the president signed the
Payne bill and vetoed ours.
Instead of being slapped together
hastily without due consideration, it
was one of the most thoroughly and
carefully considered tariff bills ever
presented to any president for sig

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. |


Charleston, Aug. 29.--Wire con.
nection with the outside worl( was
maintained for only a brief period
this morning. Almost as soon as
the communication had been estab-
lished the wires again went down.
The damage caused by the storm
was enormous throughout the whole
region. Unless later reports swell
the death list, the loss of life, how
ever was comparatively small con-
siderlng the magnitude of the storm.
The known dead are five.
Alonzo Coburn, an engineer on the
Southern~Railroad, killed by falling
timbers.
William w. Smith, of Columbia,
and Motorman John Cutter, of the
Charleston railway, killed when a
trestle collapsed.
Two unidentified women, drowned
when their homes were flooded.
Numerous small steamers and har-
Dor craft were sunk during the storm
but it Is believed that their crews es-
capped. Grave fears are felt, how
ever, for vessels off the coast. as it
is thought that many of them must
have been unable to weather the ter
rife blow.
Much apprehension also was felt
for the inhabitants of Sea Islands,
south of Charleston. With the wind
blowing the water over the seawall
into the city itself, until it was sew
eral feet deep in nearly all the
streets, there is every likelihood that
the low-lying Islands were submerged
to a depth of many feet.

The court silenced Prosecutor

witness. Paul said that during HIS
