TAFT'S WORKSHOP
Is AGAIN OPEN
Sherman Law, Alaska, and
Message His Tasks.

President Taft yesterday began his first
| days work at the White House following
| his 15,OOO-mile trip with a two-hour con-
ference with Attorney General Wicker
sham. The question of recommending
| legislation supplementing the Sherman
antitrust law was discussed.
While the President is seriously consld-
ering the advisability of recommending
legislation that will specify more particu-
larIy acts that constitute violations of
the Sherman antitrust law, it is already
apparent that several of the Congress
leaders are inclined to regard unfavora-
bly, any effort to tinker with the Sher-
man law at the coming session. Senator
Smoot, of Utah, one of the Republican
leaders in the Senate, does not believe
that Mr.. Taft will secure any trust legis-
Iation this winter. While Mr.. Wicker
sham was with the President, Senator
| Smoot was in the White House ante
room, and he also had the trust legisla-
| ton question on his mind.
The Utah Senator said that, in his
opinion. Congress and the public in gen.
| eral will not permit any alteration of
the law at this time If new legislation
, in this direction is to be enacted, he said,
| il will hive to be a thoroughly cOnsid-
| cred and complete plan, and he does not
believe that the administration can pro-
vide and put through Congress in the COM
| ing session so important piece Of legisla-
ton. Senator Smoot also is pessimistic
| in regard to currency reform legislation.
regarding it as too big a question TO be
rushed through. Only the tariff and
| legislation affecting Alaska will, in his
! opinion, find much consideration.
Secretary Fisher was another of the
Presidents Cabinet members who called
at the White House. Mr.. Fisher is in
complete control of the Alaskan question
| for the administration. Mr.. Taft has
publicly announced that he will give the
Secretary all the support he can muster
! 10 push his programme through Congress.
| The Secretary discussed this question
with the President yesterday.
The next few days the President will
devote to assembling material for his
annual message. There will, however,
be one break in this programme. Mr..
Taft is going to put in Just one more
day ION the road before Congress con-
venes. Tomorrow he is going to Fred
erick, Nd, to deliver an address before
the second annual convention of the As
ISOLATED Boards of Trade of Maryland.
The first Cabinet meeting since the
vacation season will be held to-day. The
only absentee, it is expected, will be
Secretary of War Stimson, who is in
the West inspecting army posts with
Gen. Wood, Chief Of Staff.

CHURCH DEFENDER
OF HOMES IN .. S.

Declaring the Catholic Church is a de-
fender of American homes, Rev. John E.
wickham, of the New York Apostolate,
in an address last night before a large
audi snce in st. Patricks Church, strongly
defended the stand of the Catholic
Church on the question Of marriage and
divorce"
The last statistics OF the United
States" said Father wickham, ''in re-
gard to the general attitude toward d.
vorce, are appalling. From 1887 to 1906
the courts granted 945,625 divorces. In
other words, one marriage in every
twelve is broken In 1880 the rate was
80 divorces to every 100. 900 marriages, and
in 1900 the rate was 70 to every 10000
The outlook OF June, 1907, says that
more divorces are granted in the United
States every year than in all the rest Of
the Christian world. Japan Is the only
nation that surpasses the United States
in breaking the marriage bond.
THE Catholic. Church In this country
views with sorrow the breaking OF 1000
homes annually In these United States.
feeling that the integrity OF the home
means the Integrity Of the nation. We
can regard the Catholic Church as the
loyal champion of Amefica In her teach
ings In regard to marriage and divorce.
She believes the great cure for the evil
that Is threatening our country's welfare
is the returning to the words Of Him
who walked the earth 1.soo years ago
Jesus Christ"

course on the doctrines of the Catholic

BELIEVE BEATTIE
WILL GET RESPITE
Gov. Mann Has Shown Leni-
ency in All Cases.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 12-Henry C.
Beattie, jr., convicted wife murderer,
whom the Supreme Court of Appeals re-
fused writ Of error this morning, was
visited in the death chamber this after
noon by his father, H. c. Beattie, ST.;
his sixteen-year-old sister, Miss Hazel
Beattie; his aunt, Mrs. Ella ]. Bowman,
and his chief counsel, Harry NJ. Smith.
The elder Beattie had already called at /
o'clock and informed his son Of the action
Of the court.
The second visit was for the purpose
Of extending whatever Of cheer the pres
ence of members of his family and his
counsel might bring. The sight of his
beautiful sister visibly affected Beattie
more than anything since he entered the
death cell, even the fatal announcement
his father had made a few hours before.
Nothing has yet broken that apparently
impenetrable nerve that has been charac-
teristic of the young man since the night
Of that wild ride IN an automobile down
Midlothian turnpike into the yord OF
Thomas Owen, supporting the slain body
of his wife with one arm.
The news Of the action of the Supreme
Court of Appeals naturally affected Beat
tie. While his face at the approach OF
his father bore the same smile that was
so noticeable at the trial aud during his
incarceration in the Jail, the announce
ment of his father caused a sober ex-
preston to appear, and he assumed the
cid look OF determination and defiance
that he displayed when damaging testi-
mony was being given.
Harry NJ. Smith declined tonight tc
state what will be the next move fol
Reattie. He and his associate, Hill Car.
ter, called at the capitol to-day to see
the governor, but he was in Petersburg
participating in the dedication of a monu.
ment to Massachusetts, troops at the
Crater battlefield, and will not return
until tomorrow morning. His secretary
Ben Owen, who is an uncle OF the slair
wife, arranged an appointment for to-
morrow morning. A special from Peters
burg says Gov. Mann declined to com
.ment on the case to-day, but will make
announcement tomorrow.
1t is generally conceded that Beattie
will be given a respite. Since Gov. Mann
has been in office, every condemned per
son who has asked for a respite has
had his request granted once. Only one
man has failed to ask for respite-a con-
demned colored man who had no attor.
ney-and two days before the original
date set for the execution, Gov. Mann
without being requested to do so, sent
him a respite OF thirty days
A respite OF thirty days in Beattie's
case would place his execution on Christ
mas eve. For this reason 1t is expected
the respite will be either for six weeks
or sixty days.

There is great deal more difference
