BEATTIE CONFESSES MURDER
Am Truly Sorry, and Believe I Am
At Peace With Cod

Richmond, Va.-The state of Virginia
took the life of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
in payment for the wife's life he took
last July-and the state made no mis-
take.
The boy himself-the boy who tossed
aside a future of riches, the love of a
bride, the guardianship of an infant son,
through %infatuation for a little creature
of the streets-made that plain before
he went to the electric chair.
He confessed his guilt, faced his end
with a smile that was almost beatiic
and went to death with a firm belief
that if there was happiness beyond the
grave he would have his share of it.
He died at about 1921 o'clock, and a
few hours later his spiritual advisers
handed out a typewriter slip reading
thus:
81, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr,, DESTROYS
of standing right before God and man,
do on this 23d day of November, 1911,
confess my guilt of the crime against
me. Much that has been Published con-
corning the details was not true, but the
awful fact, without the narrowing cir
cumstances, remains. For this action l
am TRULY sorry, and believing that l
am at peace with God and am soon to
pass into his presence, this statement is
made"

BANKERS WILL
HANDLE COTTON
HAVE RAISED S5o,OOO,OoO TO GO TO
COTTON STATES.
Grower Will Be Advanced S25 Per Balls
Crop-Charge Will Be 81
Bale.

New York.-New York bankers who
have been comforting here with repre-
sentatives of the governors conference
and the Southern Cotton Congress an.
nounce that they have raised a fund
OF S50,OO0,0O0 to be placed Immediately
in the cotton belt states for the purpose
of handling the cotton crop of 1911 and
enabling growers to participate in any
rise in the market.
The negotiations were conducted on
behalf of the South by Gov. Emmett
O'Neal of Alabama, Senator Bailey OF
Texas, who has been advising his col
leagues as to the legal aspects OF the
proposition; E. j. Watson, president OF
the Permanent Southern Cotton Con-
gress, and Commissioner of Agriculture
of South Carolina, and Clarence Ousley
Of Fort Worth, Texas, representing the
governor of his state.
The plan proposes to advance the
grower $25 per bale upon his cotton,
based on the market value at the time
of the loan. No interest will be paid
upon the loan, the only charge being 81
a bale, which is regarded as a legitimate
minimum charge for expense of grading
and handling. The cotton is not held,
not taken from the channels of trade,
but is placed at the best advantage.
The grower is given the right to desig-
nate the day of sale prior to January
1, 1913, and will participate in any ad-
vance in price to the extent of three
fourths of the rise of the market.

SAYS Wife SLEW TO
HIDE HER OWN SIN
WITNESS SAYS SHE SHOT ONCE
WHEN WAS DOWN.
Denver Mar Tells of Driving Off Husband
and His Friend at Point of
Pistol.

Denver, Colo.-Evidence tending to
prove that the killing of her husband by
Mrs. Gertrude Patterson on September
rs, was cold-blooded murder, was intro
duced by the prosecution at the trial
of the slayer Wednesday.
Witnesses testified that Mrs. Patter-
son lowered around the Phipps Santa
rum, where her husband was a patient,
for nearly an hour, waiting for her hus-
band to come to a place where she might
safely shoot him down.
The only witness of the shooting Of
Patterson was A. B. Shugart, a carpen-
ter, whose home is near the spot where
Patterson was killed.
On the morning of September 25, he
testified, he was stepping from a shed in
the rear of his home, when he heard
two shots fired. Looking up, he saw, 900
feet away, a man upon his hands and
knees, and a woman, revolver in hand,
standing over him.
81 shouted to her to stop" said Shu-
CART, "and Immediately she shot again.
The man lurched forward on his face
and stifTened out. Running around the
house, 1 saw the woman STOPPING over
the PROSTATE form. AS | approached she
ran into the house, in front of where
the shooting had occurred.
"When | reached the man he was still
gasping. l turned him over and asked
who he was and what had happened, but
he was beyond speech"
"When you turned the man over, did
you find anything" asked Special Prose
cutor Horace G. Benson.
II found a revolver" Shugart replied.
He then described how he followed Mrs.
Patterson into the house she entered
and found her in a chair, apparently in
a faint. When he unbuttoned her jacket
to search her for q weapon she opened
her eyes and looked at him.
II asked her who the man outside
was" declared the witness, "and she an
swered, He is my husband and he
wronged me-"

TWO RECIPES WORTH TRYING
Potato Egg Is Something New and
Is Tempting-New Recipe for
Gingerbread.

Potato Eggs-Roast four or six large
potatoes in the oven with their skins
on; remove the insides, but keep the
shape of the potato, Put the inside
Of the potato in a basin and add one
and a half ounces of butter according
to the number and size of the pota-
toes) and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix together until light and add either
n or two well.beaten whites Of eggs
and beat up all together. Fill the po-
tato skins with the paste, first rolling
each piece in beaten yoIk of egg; then
cook In the over and serve as soon as
the tops are well colored-ten to tif-
teen minutes.
Glngerbread-Put into a basin six
ounces of fresh butter and half a
pound of treacle. Warm thoroughly
in the oven. In another basin put two
breakfast cupfuls of -four, a table
spoonful of sugar, a t%easpoonful Of
ground ginger, the same of mixed
spice, and a t~easpoonful of carbonate
of soda. Mix, add the warmed treacle
and butter, and enough warm milk to
make a stiff batter. Bake in A mod.
crate oven in a shallow, well-greased
tin.

QUANTITY Of BOOZE
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
PRODUCTION OF LIQUORS WAS
ENORMOUS.
Gross Oleomargerine Frauds-lnternal
Revenue Receipts Last Year Great
est in History.

Washington,-The annual report OIL
Royal Z. Cabell, commissioner OF inter
nal revenue, given out here makes sew
eral startling declarations.
All records were broken in the past
fiscal year in the production OF alcoholic
liquors.
The smoking of opium is a widespread
vice in this country and opium Joints
exist in every city of considerable size.
The double system of taxing oleomar-
gerine is c%orrupting grocers and gross
frauds are being perpetrated on the
butter-buying public.
The internal revenue receipts last year
were $685., 526,299, the greatest in the
history of the government.
Corporations making returns under
the new corporation tax law numbered
27O,2o2 with an aggregate capital of
$67,086,43O,519. The aggregate net in
come to the stockholders was S3,250,642.
The years production of distilled spir-
its amounted to 175,4O2,395 gallons,
nearly 100000 gallons more than in
the previous banner year, 1907. The
production of beer, ale, etc, amounted to
~63,261,851 barrels, nearly 100000 bar
rels more than in the previous record
year, 1910.
The amount of liquor held in bonded
warehouses for ripening now reaches the
enormous total of 249,279,346 gallons
To remedy the oleomargerine situation
Mr.. Cabell suggests that fraud would be
wiped out if a single standard of taxa
ton for the colored and uncolored prod
uct be established, and if the manufac-
turers be required to put their product in
small sealed packages instead of selling
it in bulk.

BANKERS DISCUSS
COTTON BILLS LADING
NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN UNTIL
NEXT YEARS MEETING.
New Orleans Man Wants Railroads Held
Responsible for Acts Of Their
Agents.

New Orleans.--After a long drawn-out
debate, the members of the American
Bankers Association in convention here
re-referred the report of the bills OF lad
ing committee back to the committee for
further consideration. The report APP
proved the central bureau plan for the
valuation of cotton bills of lading,
Southern bankers, cotton men and eX-
changes in convention here recently
condemned in a set of resolutions.
The convention instructed the commit
tee to consider resolutions by Sol Wex-
Ter of this city, chairman of the bills
of lading committee of the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange, offered in lieu
of the report. The motion also provided
that Mr.. Wexler be made a member of
the bills of lading committee in addition
to another Southern banker to be Sc
lected.
The bills of lading committee was in
structed not to take any action binding
Vic Alltl ltdl DdllhtlS ASSOtldlIOH W
any certain plan, and that no report was
to be made until the 1912 meeting of the
convention. This action was taken upon
the motion of D. II. Pierson of New
York City, which, however, was not car
ried without considerable opposition
and debate.
Mr.. Wexler, in reviewing the entire
bills of lading question, stated that the
bureau plan had been vigorously opposed
by the cotton exchanges of Houston,
Memphis, Savannah, Vicksburg, Austin
and other organizations, giving the rea.
SOL that it singled. out cotton from the
other vast commodities shipped abroad
and that it cast a stigma upon the honest
cotton dealers of a large section of the
country,
"What we are mostly concerned in is
making the railroads responsible for the
Gets of their agents." said Mr.. Wexler

WoMAN's ABILITY.

The late Premier Stolypin's recog-
milton Of the capacity Of women for
public business took a very practical
form, which is pleasing to the women
Of Russia in general as well as to
the strong-minded Dowager Empress
It is dlspleasing to men who are can
didates for official honor, as 1t makes
women in certain cases their success
ful rivals. 1t is true that by an
amendment ordered after the original
PRONUNCIATION of the order only one in
five Of the civil service staff can be a
woman; nor can a woman rise higher
than the seventh of the twelve ranks
In the service. says the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin. So men will CON
unue to monopolize the coveted title
High Excellency," and the chance
that a woman will be a cabinet minis
ter is very remote. One noteworthy
feature Is that women receive the
same pay as men In positions Of equal
rating, Women officials are to receive
full pensions. even If they marry be-
fore leaving the service, and their
children will get the same pensions as
II they had fathers in the service
When both parents serve, they will
get almost double pensions. In all
cases, the women are to have the
same salaries. lodging and travelling
expenses as the men. This latter
feature Of the Stolypin system is the
n that is likely to make the deepest
impression on the ONE school
