effort will be made by counsel for
Henry Clay Rcattic. jr., 10 secure 4
postponement Of the trial Of their

wife, according to Information here
today. They figure that public senti-
ment just now is aroused over the
terrible tragedy OF the killing Of the
young wife aud the sorlid scandal Of
Beattie's relations with women OF the
under world, and that delay in the
trial would result greatly to his ad-
vantage.
The prosecution will vigorously op-
pose any plan TO delay matters. Fore
most in their desire to obtain quick
justice is the apprehension that Paul
Beattie, cousin OF the accused
man, and admittedly one of the
commonwealth chic f witnesses against
him, may not be physically able
to take the stand. The cousin, by
whom the prosecution expects to prove
that Henry Clay Beattie owned tue.

sci would attempt to secure delay
by moving for change III venue.

in securing a jury, ewing TO the de-

clared that he would fight any play

London, Aug. 2.-AIorG than l0,OOO
are out in the dock strike and the mum
her will be steadily increased by addi-
tional walkouts. The shipping industry
and allied trades are involved. Twenty
steamships, several Of thsm loaded
with perishahle freight, are already tied
up and more are constantly arriving.
The strike threatens to spread to
other countries as result Of some OF
tie ship owners sending their vessels to
other continental ports TO be unloaded.
There we're no formal declarations Of a
strike, the men walking out to en-
force a demand for an increase in
wages.
The dockers confidently expected
that the ship owners would yield after
a meeting called for tonight. Already
several cargoes OF meat have spoiled
and are q total loss. 1t is the declared
intentions OF the strikers to bring out
every man connected with the meat
trade, which if carried out, would re-
suit in about 80, 900 men leaving work

TONE Of MARKETS
CAUSES UNEAS|NEsS
Fears of a Discontinuance of Franco
German Negotiations. sNo Prog
ress Made.

London, Aug. 2.-The stock markets
in European capitals today reflect the
fear Of discontinuauce Of Franco-Ger-
man negotiations over Morocco, owing,
it is said, TO Germany's nsistance upon
terms which France does not wish to
grant
While both Germany and France
continue to keep their own counsel and
are negotiating secretly, it is pointed
out that financial circles are likely to
be in close touch with the situation and
that the stock markets indicate that
little or no progress is being made.
There is au impression in seml-ot1i-
cial circles that unless negotiations take
different turn within 4 week, con-
tinuance Of the conferences between
France and Germany will be useless.

Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust Corpo
ration. even those who resigned from
the institution many years pgo, S. B
Whitehead as attorney for c. M. KEN
per, has filed in the Corporation Court
Of this city, an amended petition in
which he seeks to compel the directors
to make good to all the creditors OF the
Trust Corporation any deficiency that
would arise in paying out to them the
amounts due them as creditors.
The amended petition is one that
follows . rule made by Judge Barley
some months ago that all the suits
against the directors must be united in
one and Mr.. Kemper's petition is the
result of this rule.
The petition recites the history of
the failure OF the company and gives
the following reasons why the directors
should be- held responsible.
First, The stock Of the corporation
was never paid for; second, that there
were pain in dividends to the stock
holders OF the trust company about
800, 900, in plain violation OF the law,
as none were ever earned; third, by the
embezzlcmcnt by c. J. Rixey, presi-
dent and treasurer OF large sums of
money; fourth. by the loaning of large
sums OF money to utterly Insolvent and
non-exStlng concerns III which G.. J.
Rixey vas Interested.
Tue petition further charges that
statements were made to The State Cor
poration commission by G. j. Rixey
and atiested by various members of
the board which were untrue; that no
cashier Was elected Is required by law,
that the directors failed to meet every
three months and count the cash but
TURNED IL the affairs OF the institution
over to G. }. Rixey TO manage and
act just as,he chose.
The petition which il quite lengthy
goes into many details Of the manner
in which Mr.. Rixcv Withdrew money
from the concern and says that ordi-
nary diligence would have prevented it.
1t states that by reason OF the acts OF
negligence the corporation has been
absolutely ruined and will not pay fifty
cents on the dollar. a receiver is
asked for who will collect the amount
from each Of the defendants.
