ACTS LIKE HERO IN NOVEL
Youthful Ticket Agent, Bound by Ban
dit, Rolls to Telegraph Key
and Calls Aid.

Washington, D. Gust the sort
of robbery that gives zest to the pages
of penny dreadfuls was committed in
the Erie railroad station at Harrison.
N. j., when a masked man held up the
station agent, William Narber, youth
of 20, at the point of a pistol, bound
and gagged him and then robbed the
till of SITS, the days receipts from
the sale of Communication tickets. AS
fitting climax for this thriller, young
Narber struggled desperately until he
freed one hand from the bonds, then
rolled himself along the floor until
he got within reach of his telegraph
key. He licked off the report of the
robbery over the wire to Newark and
all along the line of the Erie's service.

TALKS TO EDITORS
AND PUBLISHERS
PRESIDENT THANKS NATIONAL
HOUSE FOR ITS STAND ON
RECIPROCITY BILL.
TAFT IS ALSO GUEST OF iERONAUTS
Chief Executive of the Nation and
William Randolph Hearst Are
Presented With Medals at the
First Annual Dinner.

New York City.-President Taft
openly thanked the Democratic house
of representatives for the stand it has
taken on the question of Canadian
reciprocity when he spoke at the an
nual banquet of the Associated Press
and the American Newspaper Publish
ers association at the Waldorf
Astoria. "All this talk about annexa-
tion is bosh," he said, raising his
voice to its highest pitch, "and we
ought to make it one of the jokes
of the platform. l desire to express
my high appreciation of manner in
which the present house Of represen-
tives has treated the reciprocity
agreement. 1t has not played politics.
1t has taken a statesman-like course
in regard to it. am very hopeful
that the senate will treat the agree
ment in the same way"
II am quite aware that for one mo-
tive or another great deal of effort
and money has been spent in send
ing circulars to farmers to convince
them that this Canadian treaty IL
adopted will do them injury. 1t may
be that the Canadian contract does
not go far enough. In making it we
were limited by the reluctance of Can
ada to go as far as we would wish to
have her go, but the fact that it
does not go far enough is poor rea-
son for not going as far as we can.
We making contract, we balancing
considerations, We were not making
a general tariff or a general tariff
revision. 1t was no part of our duty
to reduce the tariff generally in this
contract with other countries. If that
is to be done, and if there is sincere
demand to have it done, then it ought
to be done by separate legislation. AS
between Canada and the United
States the trade and the mutual bene-
ft from the trade will increase"
The marvellous strides that have
been made in the conquest of the air
and the even more marvellous future
of that science were the themes upon
which more than score of speakers
dilated to more than 500 guests at
the annual dinner of the Aeronautical
society at the Hotel Astor. The two
features of the evening were the pres
ence of President Taft and the pres
entation of n gold medal to William
Randolph Hearst as the man who had
done the most service to the science
of aeronautics during the past year.
The medal was presented by Hudson
Maxim, president of the society At
the conclusion of President Taft's re-
marks he was presented by Hudson
Maxim with gold watchfob, gift of
the Fort Worth Aeronautic society.

Washington, d. C.-Revision of
the Ten Communicates original
and shortened form-was urged by
Rev. DR.. George P. William Douglas,
canon of the Cathedral Of st. John the
Divine of New York, upon the twenty
ninth congress of the Protestant Epis-
copal church. Rev. DR.. Douglas views
created a mild sensation among the
attending clergymen and delegates.
Let us have the courage" he said
ito restore our prayer book version
of the Ten Commandments to what
scholars are pretty well agreed was
the original and shorter form and let
us drop the inflated clauses wherewith
some ancient scribes spoiled the mag
nificent proportion of the decalogue.
Why should we not revise here and
there on lines suggested in Canon
Scott Hellan's Magazine? Why may
we not follow the example of the
Roman and the Lutheran churches and
have the courage to restore our prayer
book version of the Ten Command
ments to what scholars are pretty gen.
orally agreed was the original and
shorter form, so that we shall not
weary our congregations with oxen
and asses and slaves which they do
not possess? There is a great social
movement going on in America, as
elsewhere in the Christian world, and
ministers of other denominations else
where have showed how working peo-
pie and so-called Socialists can be
gathered in Christian churches and at
tracted to public worship there.
But in order to hold and benefit
these people we must have an alter
native prayer book or an appendix
not enforced but permitted; for oul
book of common prayer is unsuitable
and our hymnal, too. The minister
who has the Christian cross stamped
upon his soul will not compromise il
if he speaks and prays in language
Ineligible to those VINO have yet
many steps to take before they will
bow at the Holy Name. Any conces
sion to the need of prayer book re
vision is not radicalism but an act oi
reverence for religion-of insistence
that religion shall be real. 1t will moi
do for serious Christians to be stayed
by the dead hand"

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three

rash which was very itchy and ran

could but he got worse all the time,
till 1t spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got SO
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. l had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
spells as If he were dying. He was
Almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for a long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was so soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how

box of Cuticura Ointment ana pretty

Auueduct Bridge.

Gen. Bixby estimates that to put the
present piers of the Aqueduct bridge in
thorough and permanent repair, using
the present superstructure, will cost
$50, 600; to remove the five old piers en-
tirely and replace them with new ones
and repair the abutments, using the
present superstructure. Will cost $3o0.OOO,
and for the complete removal Of the pres
ent bridge and replacing it with new
one $685. On the assumption OF q
satisfactory state of the locel finances, it
is greatly to be hoped that the last men
toned project will be adopted, and
authorization given without further de-
lay for a preliminary survey and the
preparation of plans for this work. A
patched bridge would never be salts
factory. even though it might withstand
the wear and tear of the river and safely
sustain the traffic. Ia the first place, the
present superstructure is not large
enough for the heaviest demands that are
made upon it. 1t is certain that the use
of the bridge will increase steadily with
the development of the Virginia suburbs
and the greater volume OF communication
between the city and the government s
holdings at Fort Myer and Arlington 1t

would suffice to bear a larger superstruc-
] ture should it be decided In few years

The Execution of Henry Beattie.

Had not Henry Beattie gone TO his
death in the electric chair at Richmond
confessing his crime doubt would prob
ably have been left in the minds of some
people as to his guilt, and yet it is safe to
say that the great majority believed that
he was justly convicted and executed,
even without the support of the simple
statement in which he acknowledged his
guilt sentiment exists in many minds
against capital punishment in cases where
conviction is based on circumstantial evil
dence. such evidence as was in large
measure the foundation of the case
against Beattic. And yet it may be
doubted whether, if the matter were put
to a vote, there would be decision to
differentiate between convictions on direct
and circumstantial proof.
In the Beattie case there was mixture
of circumstantial and direct testimony
In large measure the case depended upon
the evidence given by Paul Beattie, which
might well have been discredited had not
all reason pointed to its truth. There was
more weight in the assumption of Beat
tie : guilt than i'll that of the truth of his
own explanation of how his wife came to
her death. The story that he told upon
his return from the fatal ride was scarce
~ credible. When the facts concerning
nls conduct were laid bare it took on the
semblance of d fabrication. The chain
OF evidence forged about him was too
strong 10 be broken by the assumption in
his favor granted him by the law.
In the case of Crippen. the English wife
murderer, there was an almost perfect
concentration of circumstances pointing
TO the guilt of the accused, making a
complete case even in the absence of the
dead body. There was no hesitation on
the part of the jury there, as there was
none in the Beattie case, the twelve Eng
lishmen deducing from the known facts,
from the motive, the opportunity and the
circumstances of fight an assurance OF
guilt that has been accepted by the world
as satisfactory.
In some respects the handling of the
Beattie case by the Virginia authorities
commends itself to the admiration of the
country. Little time was lost in bringing
the prisoner to the bar for trial, consid-
.ering the nature of the examinations tina,
had to be made and the search for evi.
dence. and especially the business and So
cial position Of the prisoners family. The
jury was obtained quickly. and while the
trial was somewhat protracted it was by
no means extended as would have been
the case in similar circumstances in many
other Jurisdictions. Technicalities and ap-
peals have not awaited to stay the execu-
ton Of the sentence and the governor S
course in refusing to grant respite, in
the absence of any persuasive circum-
stances. might well be followed elsewhere
when strong influences are brought to
bear upon a chief executive to check the
operation of the law.
1t is to be hoped that young mans great
crime and shocking fate may warn the
younger generation against the evil in
huences that SO insidiouSly surround
modern youth. The tragedy of Henry
Beattie's life should become potent for
good IN the land.
