Evidence All in and Attorneys
Argue Judges Charge.
DEFENDANTS STORY RIOOLEO
No Sensations Sprung on Last Day OF
Testimony Taking, but 1t Is
Most Disastrous Time
for Defense.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept.
6.-In the trial of Henry c. Beattie,
Jr,, for wife murder, the evidence has
all been taken.
On Thursday morning at 9 o'clock
the lawyers will begin the summing
Up and before the adjournment of
court on that day the jury will have
retired to determine the final issue.
Today there is no court session at
Chesterfield Cross Roads. Instead the
lawyers for the commonwealth and the
defense met with Judge Watson in the
chambers of the supreme court in
Richmond to argue the judges charge
to the jury.
The completion of testimony came
suddenly at $50 D. NJ, when Henry
Owen, a brother of the woman who
was murdered, the last witness for the
prosecution in rebuttal, was on the
stand. His taking the stand was the
final surprise launched at Beattie's de-
tense hy Louis Wendenburg the COM
monw ealth's prosecutor. After he
had denied the story of Henry Beat
tie, that to the end his wife and he
had never exchanged a cross word,
Wendenburg announced that the pros
ecution rested it's rebuttal. The de-
Tense had no sur-rebuttal to make and
the ten days of evidence-taking were
thus brought abruptly to an end.
This final day in the prosecution S
effort to bring Henry Beattie to pun
ishment for the crime of wife murder
was quite the most disastrous of all
that had passed over his head. No
great sensation was sprung, but bit
by bit, the story that the prisoner had
himself told on the stand and that
favorable witnesses had sought to sub
stantiate for him was torn down by
an overwhelmingly weight of evidence
in rebuttal. The final question that had
been ! opounded to Beattie when he
resumed the stand for few minutes
to lave his cross-examination com
pleted remains unanswered and above
al other questions at issue the most
fraught with significance.
I "How did the gun bought by Paul
Beattie three days before the murder
happen to be in the hands of the man
who shot your wife and how do you
account for the tact that in every de-
tail of the shooting it always was the
gun bought by Paul Beattie that is in
evidence?" was the last question that
Wendenburg shot at Henry Beattie be-
fore he left the stand.
II cannot account for that" was
Beattie's answer, nor did his counsel
account for it except to put on wit
nesses to say that Paul Beattie's repu-
tation for truth and veracity is bad.
The experts Wendenburg put on the
stand swore that Beattie has testified
to the impossible. No driver could
have taken a Buick car over such a
road as Midlothian turnpike in the
night with only one hand on the
wheel

Importance of Good Roads.

The salvation and uplift Of rural
America depend more upon the build
ing of good roads than upon any one
other thing. The farmer and the peo-
pie of the small towns and villages do
not understand this now. wherefore
they need TO be educated to the fact
that money spent for good roads is not
money thrown away, whereas money
spent for makeshift improvements is
worse than thrown away. They must
be taught that good roads are not a
luxury, but a necessity. and thatVthe
cost of their building is not extrava-
gance begotten of the automobile, but
simply a wise investment, on the part
of every community everywhere, with
out regard to what sort of vehicle is
favored by those who travel over the
roadS.-Motor Print

GOOD ROADS SOON If
Each State Spends $4,0oo,o00 For the
Improvement of Highways.

Each State Spends S4OCOOOO For the
Improvement of Highways.
Between half a billion and a billion
dollars would be saved annually in the
United States if every state would i'm
prove its main highways to the highest
point of efficiency.
Calculations just made by the Unit
cd States Office of public roads show
that to effect this enormous saving
throughout the country it will be nee
essary to improve only about 20 per
cent of the roads.
There are now about 2,150,O00 miles
of road IL the United States. Two
hundred thousand miles, or about 9
per cent are improved in some man
ner. To bring the number Of miles up
to 20 per cent it will be necessary to
improve 100000 more miles. While
this task may seem stupendous, it is
estimated that it can be accomplished
by q probable average expenditure Of
$1,000 a mile, or S1.7JO0C0 Q0O for a
fairly complete system Were each
state TO put 100000 into the i'm
provement Of its roads the work could
be accomplished in a very short time.

TEACHING GOOD
ROADS LESSONS
Farmers In Missouri Are Learn
Ing at School.
ENGINEER INSTRUCTS THEM.

Novel Method of Trying to Keep Roads
In Good Condition by Telling Peo-
pie How to Do 1t Given a Successful
Trial at Columbia, Mo.-Fifty Farm
ers Attend First Day.
At Columbia, Mo, P. 8. Quinn, high
way engineer of Boone county, has or
ganized q class in road building At
the first meeting Of the class more
than fifty farmers, all dressed in their
working clothes, assembled in the cir
cult court room in the county court
house and sat in a semicircle around
the judges desk. On the bench was
Mr.. Quinn, acting as professor in the
new branch of school instruction. The
pupils were the newly elected road
overseers.
Boone county is going to have bet
ter roads in the future" was Mr..
Quinn's first announcement, land If
you men are to be responsible for the
condition of these roads then you must
know something about road building
yourselves. That's why I have organ
selves apt pupils there should be no
more complaint about the condition Of
the highways here"
Quinn believes that such q school is
necessary if the county is to have
good roads. Much of the time Of the
first session of the class was devoted
to acquainting the Overseers with the
provisions of the road laws. Prompt
ness" was the keynote Of his instruc-
tiOns.
glitch your roads right away" he
said. Remove everything from the
roads and bitches in spite Of what the
landowners say; also make the land
owners keep their hedges trimmed"
He made it plain to the overseers
that they had authority and that he
wanted them to make use Of it. The
men were interested too. Some Of
them had had trouble with the land
owners, and they wanted to know
what to do.
"Tell me how to make a single man
work on the roads," one suggested.
MAKE him do it; make him do it,
Quinn replied "It's like getting blood
from a turnip, but make him do it."
"What would you do when you get
your roads In good condition and all of
your neighbors travel on it in prefer
ence to some other and cut it all to
pieces" was the question Of another.
"How can you make the rich man do
any work." came from a third man.
Hundreds of similar questions were
discussed by the overseers and Quinn,
all with n view of solving the question
of how to improve the country roads.
There were instructions as to the use
of teams and when to do the work.
Other sessions of the class in road
building have been held since the first
lesson.

TELESCOPE LENSES.
The Small Glass Maenifies the Picture
Made by the LARGE One

The Small Glass Masnifies the Picture
Made by the Large One.
People sometimes wonder why tele-
scope has two glasses, one at the big
end and one at the little end. and they
want to know the difference. The glass
at the big end is to gather light 1t
is simply a big eye. If it is hundred
times bigger than the eye in your head
it will gather a hundred times more
light. 1t gathers the rays Of light com
ing from star and bends them all into
common meeting point called TO-
Gus. which is a picture of the star.
You can look at this picture of the star
with your naked eye If you like. But
you can see it better and examine 1t
more closely If you look at 1t with a
small magnifying glass. And this is
the glass at the small end of the tele-
scope. 1t magnifies the picture made
by the big glass at the other end Of the
instrument. All telescopes are built on
this principle. Sir William Herschel
was the first to arrange matters a lit
tie differently. He took away the
glass from the big end and admitted
the rays coming straight into the tube
In parallel lines. Then at the bottom
Of the big tube he placed bright con-
cave mirror made of FURNISHED metal.
When the entering rays fell upon this
mirror they were again bent to point
called a focus. which was the picture
Of the star. To look at this picture he
had to place the little magnifying glass
at the side Of the tube because the
mirror had stopped up its lower end.

CONVENTIONS IN MUSIC.
Rules Which Song Composers Seem to
Feel Thev Must Follow.


Feel They Must Follow.
Why is it that all our musicians in
writing nautical song invariably use
a portion of the best known hornpipe
as the introduction. "vamp," or coun-
ter-melody? Why do the open fifths
in the bass always appear In rustic
songs? Because 1t can't be helped, 1t
seems. Our popular Irish songs al
ways have a bar or two Of a well
known old Irish melody or a drone
bass. otherwise they wouldn't be Irish.
The exhausted old Turkey and his
partner. the straw, come to the rescue
Of every "rube" song or dance that Is
perpetrated, and our national airs
must run all through the accompani-
ment Of patriotic songs to give them
flavor"
Because all of these things are set
they are conventions. Why must ev-
cry song end on the tonic note, with
the preceding tone either the second
or seventh of the scale, unless we ex-
cept the detestable third or the hollow
ffthf Because our audiences expect
1t.
Should one Of your composers in a
moment Of bravery or recklessness
produce a score in which he disregard
ed these many conventions his first
night hearers would go away remark
ing that the music was crazy. They
do not realize that they expect to hear
the same old thing. served up a triae
differently, of course. but still the
same.-From Where Have l Heard
