PASTORS REFUSE 70
MARRY COUPLE

NEW YORK.-Special.- Three re-
ligious denominations. the Protestant
Episcopal. the Methodist Episcopal
and Baptist, are today on record
against the marriage of Colonel John
Jacob Aston to Miss Madeleine Force,
his eighteen-year-o fiance. and as q
result plans for an immediate mar
riage have been postponed.
Even the glamour of a 1000 fee
has failed to secure q clergyman who
VIII take the responsibility of uniting
the divorced multimillionaire to his
bride-to-be.
Details of the overtures made by
agents of Colonel Aston to the Rev.
Edward A. Johnson, pastor of the
First Baptist John Clarke Memorial
Church, of Newport, and to the Rev.
Frederick l.. Brooks pastor of the
Methodist Church, of Compton, r. l.,
indicate that Colonel Astor will have
to seek an officiating minister in some
other denomination.
Colonel Astor expressed himself as
being DESTROYS to wed in the first week
in September. He is said to have ap-
preached three ministers in this city,
through his agents, all Of whom de-
clined to perform the ceremony. It
was learned from friends of Colonel
Astor that the inability to secure a
clergyman has been the only cause
Of delay.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Force, pa
rents OF the young fiance, are said to
be taking no part in the hunt for q
clergyman, although they have given
their consent to an immediate mar
riage.
AstOr and Force Family Disagree.
A heated conference between Colo
mel Aston, all the members of the
Force family and several lawyers was
/ held at the Force residence at Is East
! Thirty-seventh Street, early TODAY. At
times the voices could be heard upon
the street.
Colonel Aston left the house at an
early hour, returning at a. NJ, two
hours earlier than his usual visits.

90 OX-POWER FOR
HIS MAKE OF CAR

MIDDLETOWN, CONN., Special
John Cavanaugh, of Penfield Hill
drove yesterday to the Changers Fair
at Haddam Neck in a gayly decorated
cart drawn by ninety-six oxen, two
abreast. Such a sight has never been
seen in this part OF Connecticut, and
by the time Cavanaugh got to the fair
he and his team" had gathered in
their wake a crowd that included
most of the jewellers between Haddam
and Penfield.
Cavanaugh welded a whip about
twenty feet long, every crack of which
sounded like the report Of a rifle.
Twelve assistant drivers helped to
guide the oxen. The twenty miles was
covered in five hours. Twenty of the
animals were Cavanaughs. The rest
he borrowed from neighbors.

Henry Clay Beattie, Jr, is
guilty of the murder of his wife.
The twelve good men and true
have so brought in their verdict.
According to their judgment, not
even a suspicion of innocence re
manned. The evidence was over
whelming.
The Jury was Out 56 Minutes.
Beattie received the fearful
words that sealed his doom with
the same stoical indifference that
he has borne the entire trial. His
face was immobile and he did not
show his emotion even by the
movement of an eyelid, while his
color hardly changed.
The jury failed to give the de
gree of murder in its verdict and
were sent back to their room by
Judge Watson to make good the

They quickly returned with a

twelve men to their box. They
walked in quietly amid the strain
ed silence which gripped the
crowd packed in the benches, in
the aisles and in the doors and
windows.
The foreman of the jury held
paper in his hand. Upon it were
written a few words-the words
which Beattie and his counsel had
fought so desperately against, but
In vain.
Gentlemen, have you agreed
upon a verdict?" asked Clerk
Philip COgbill in a quiet, even
voice.

reply. The foreman of the jury

Every breath In the court room

words.

forward and handing the clerk
the Indictment.
With a suppressed sob of eX-
element every man In the court
house caught his breath, hardly
the awful significance of
the juror reply. Several news
paper men broke through the
crowd to send the verdict fash
ing over the wires. For the rest,
the crowd remained staring wide
eyed at the judge, hardly know

Watson. "clear the windows and

The customary motion for the
setting aside of the verdict as
contrary to the law and evil

by the attorneys of the convicted
man. That the defense expected
a verdict of guilty and expected
likewise that the motion for set
ting aside the verdict would be
Overruled, was indicated before
the trial began, when Attorney
Hill Carter was retained. Mr..
Carter is known as one of the
ablest and most successful appeal
lawyers in the State. A great
many exceptions were noted dur
ing the trial. These will be used
to form the grounds on which an
appeal will be taken to the Su-
preme Court.

today, while discussing her speech
before the convention of the Chicago
Dressbakers' Club. Mrs. Whitney

True to her conviction, Mrs. Whit
ney today was wearing a bisected

was so inconspicuous that NO one
noticed it on the street.
Every dressmaker of note in
Paris, with the exception of one, is

sionals who are anxious to be ex-
plotted on the stage or elsewhere,

THE AMERICAN
MISSIONARY
SAVED HIS LIFE
PLOT OF KOREANS TO
MURDER JAPANESE GOVERNOR
GENERAL OF KOREA, BY DYNA.
MITING TRAIN.

Seoul, Korea, March ia plot to
assassinate former War Minister
Seike Terauchi, who is at present
Japanese governor-general of Korea,
was revealed today by an American
missionary just before the conspira-
tors had prepared to dynamite a
train on which the distinguished Off
cial was travelling. Forty Koreans
were arrested. They will be execut-
ed if convicted.
The military police arrested An
Ming Ken as ring leader. He is a
cousin of An Chung Ken, assassin of
Prince Ito, late resident general of
Korea.
That the plot to kill Terauchi was
well laid and failed only through the
bravery of the American missionary
was admitted by the Japanese author
tiles. The missionary received a
terrorist manifesto conveying the Sc
cret information that a plot existed
againstthe governors life. The
missionary, risking death, disclosed
the plans of the Koreans to the po-
lice.
More than 40 Koreans were in the
plot but only that number were cap
tured. Further arrests will be diff
cult, as the plotters fled across the
Russian border when they learned
that their plans had failed. Japan
will call upon Russia to return the
accomplices, according to an official
here. Japans close relations with
Russia probably will secure the re-
turn of the fugitives upon demand of
the Mikado's agents.
Trial of the accused men will take
place every night in Seoul until all
have been convicted or exonerated.
Precautions are being taken to pro-
tect the American missionary and
the officials even withhold his name
for fear that he might be killed be-
foer he could leave the country.

tells why 1t Is considered best not to
keep flowers or growing plants in a
sickroom at night Flowers give off
moisture taken up from the soil: hence
air becomes somewhat humid If many

The action Of sunlight upon the

flowers Is to store carbonic dioxide
within the plants and release oxygen.
Thus in daylight there is fair bal
ance between the carbonic dioxide and
the oxygen given and taken, leaving
neither good nor III results. But dur
ing the entire night the plant coutin-
ues to breathe. and until the return of
daylight the oxygen is used just like
