The president takes the re-

that the law would prevent any
one corporation from getting a
monopoly, and that the larger area
would allow the opening of a
town there.
As to the "Dick to Dick" let

his brother Charley and Ballinger

"falsity and vicious slander" and
of "the desire to besmirch which

RICHMOND, Va. July 27.-A

cigarets, strumming frivolous
guitar, too much elated over his
present notoriety to think much
of the swift doom Virginia law
meets out to wife murderers.
The authorities don't believe
his story of an unknown assai' ant.
They have found "the other wom-
an"-pretty, brown-eyed, shallow,
immoral, 17-year-old Beulah Bin
ford.
Beattie's marriage to Louise
Wexford Owen a year ago was
arranged. Henry was the only
son of the wealthiest man of aris-
tocratic Manchester. Louise was
one of the Owens of Chesterfield
county-a first family of Vir-
ginia." 1t was union of wealth
and blood. If Beulah Binford's
blood had been blue this tragedy
wouldn't have happened. Henry
would have been permitted to
marry her.
But Beulah was only a miilin-
cry apprentice. The affair be-
tween young Beattie and Beulah
Binford began four years ago
when Beulah was 13. Henry was
not her first lover, nor at any
time exclusive. Beulah loved
where she lived. She was born
into evil surroundings. She was
never taught not to sin.
Beattie paraded his child mis-
tress openly until it became a
local scandal. Two years ago
Beulah bore a child, which she
named Henry Clay Beattie. She
has since confessed she does not
know exactly who was the baby's
father.
Beattie's father .hastened the
match with Louise Owen in the
hope that Henry would quit his
wildness when married. The Bin

The saloon ordinance is now
finished.
After two hours of final bicker-
ing the commission this morning
got 1t in shape. 1t will be pass
ed this afternoon.
Woods objected to the provls-
ion that limited saloons to selling
liquor to be drank on the prem
ises and it was stricken out, only
Petit objecting.
A majority eliminated the pro-
vision revoking licenses by the
simple conviction in court Of sa-
lo~ukeepers.
Woods and Weeks made a hard
fight to allow pool tables in sa-
looms but the majority stood
against this, Woods finally declar-
ing he would vote against the or
dinance on final passage if this
stayed in.

Much discussion was had about
boxes and screens in saloons but
all the council were agreed that
boxes must go.
The commission voted against
Petit on the proposition of con-
filming service bars to the dining

WANT ARMY OF
HARVEST HANDS

WINNIPEG, July 27.-An army
of $4,000 men will be required to
harvest the wheat crop of Western
Canada, according to conservative
estimates and the farmers today
are wondering where they can be
obtained.
In Saskatchewan alone about
$4,000 harvest hands will be need
ed. Manitoba will need almost as
many and Alberta at least 5000
or 1000. Last years harvest,
which was a small one compared
with that of this year, was hand
led with about $4,000 men.

FIRED

Handsome Dan Costello is no
longer a cop.
Chief Fraser handed him his
discharge this morning. Num-
erous charges we're preferred
against Costello, chief among
them being that he hung around
the Annex cafe and Olympic cub
saloon when he should have been
on duty.
Numerous incidents of this
kind were charged against the cop
and he was let go. Costello is
familiar to sport fans, as he has
been on duty at the ball games.

for the plan.
The petitions now being circu-
lated in the Sound cities ask that
Everett. Seattle, Tacoma and
Grays Harbor be made bunker sta
tions where the government coal
can be stored for local consump-
tion and interior shipment.
Seattle is especially interested
in this movement because it is be-
lieved that with high grade Alaska
coal delivered at cost to the Sound,
the coaling problem for the Paci-
fic fleet will be solved and the
Bremerton naval station made the
big one of the Coast.

LaFollette of Wisconsin today
passed the United States senate by
a vote of As to 80.
LaFollette's amendment was
passed after another bill, urged
by Congressman Underwood, lead
er of the house democrats, had
been rejected. Its winning was
in the nature of a surprise but the
majority evidently be-
lieving that wool revision was
sure to come, preferred to adopt
plan rather than that
of Underwood, which slashe,l the
Payne duties to a far greater ex-
tent.
Previous to adopting the Ia
amendment the senate, by

stitute wool bill.

that the action will put up to the

bill. They were Bourne, Bristow,

Was Rejected Once

When LaFollette first proposed
his substitute it was rejected IA to
S.. the democrats voting with the
"standpatters." The Underwood
bill was then defeated. LaFollette
then demanded that the vote on
his substitute be reconsidered.
The motion carried, 40 to 81, and
the substitute was passed, As
to 80.
The standpatters are very sore
over LaFollette's coup. Senator
Penrose declared that the regulars
would refuse to be parties to the
conference with the lower house.
