something OF the man himself.
Henry c. Beattie is twenty-six years
old and looks like an undeveloped boy
OF twenty. He is cigarette fend,
with a pasty complexion, large, pro-
tuoerant. thin ears that stand out like
fans away from his head, a high, bony
nose. a weak chin and loose lips He
is very small and slight. and he pre-

II.
Always known nm a Spender.
His father is a rich man, a bank err
and a dry goods merchant, and highly
respected, but Henry is the typical evil
howering of the second generation, SO
often seen in self-made family. His
father has worked and economical.
but he has been a spender and a
waster. an idler who has never sup
ported himself. but who has lived on
his father. and whose most useful oc-
cupation has been to dash about In
the family automobile.
From his earliest youth Henry Beat
tie has been notorious for his amours.
The most serious OF these were with
Beulah Binford. A child was born to
them. but he. as we'll as the girl
mother. who was barely fifteen, de-
serted the hapless little creature, and
1t was given to country woman to
raise. Beattie displayed no solicitude
for the child; he refused to contribute
to It's support, and when 1t died 1t was
his wife-to-be Miss Louise Owen. who
forced him to pay the funeral expenses.
Naturally. Henry Beattie's conduct
had been source OF great shame and
sorrow 10 his upright old father. He
wanted Henry to settle down. to mar
ry. and to make a respectable place
for himself in society, and there are
many who believe that 1t was his

the President Will sign the BILL de-

Il believe" said the Speaker o-day,-
that the Senate and House conferees

the House on June 90 by vote of
800 to 100, But to pass over veto
two thirds of the House membership
of S91 must vote for the bill, This
would be cal, or forty-one more than
went on the record for the original
bill In the House. There is nothing
so far to warrant counting upon tho
muster of any such added strength.
House Democrats expressed the view
to-day that If the President should
veto a wool bill they would prefer to
have him veto Democratic measure
than an Insurgcnt- Republican, Demo-
cratic compromise
1t Is clear that the House will not
be In hurry TO as. for conference.
The Senate wool bill, when IL Is taken
up in the House ne week. will be
promptly rejected and sent back TO tho
Senate, 1t will remain for that body
to ask for a conference committeo.s
In the meantime the general temper
of the Democrats OF the House is be-s
ing tested by the leaders. Many Den-
ocrats arc urging Cancellation and
compromise with the idea of forcing
president Taft TO pass upon wool
