spec;al to The Washington Herald

Special to The Washington Herald
Richmond, Va, Aug. 2.-That Henry
Clay Beattie knocked his wife down
with the butt of his shotgun and stood
on her PROSTATE body when he fired
the shot which ended her life will, II
was declared to-day, be one of the
charges made against Beattie when he
Is placed on trial.
This feature. while not increasing the
degree of murder. adds certain fiend-
ishness of purpose which makes the
case the worst and most ghastly in the
criminal annals of the State.
A hairpin picked up at the scene of the
crime conforms to those worn by Mrs.
Beattie on the night of the murder, and
the detectives believe II fell from her
hair. heavy bruise was found on the
right cheek of the woman when a ply
sician examined her, and the gunshot
wound was under the left eye.
1t is the conclusion Of the detectives
that the terrified woman attempted to
eseape when she saw, the gun In her
husbands hand. but was struck In the
face and felled to the ground and
pinned there by his foot while he forced
the ru against her face and frsd.

REMSEN APPEAL
BOARD ILLEGAL
Opinion of Attorney Certi-
fled by Wickersham.

That the Remsen board, created by the
Secretary of Agriculture, was brought
into being in evasion Of law is the alle-
cation that is to be made by the House
Committee on Expenditures in the De-
partment of Agriculture as a counter to
the charge that DR.. Harvey w. Wiley
violated the law in agreeing to pay DR..
Rusby an amount in excess of that pre-
scribed by statute for expert services.
This was indicated at the hearing of the
committee yesterday, when there was
produced "a suppressed report" of As
sistant Attorney General Fowler, in
which it was held that there was no
authority in law for the creation Of the
Remsen board, which has come to be
known as the "benzoate of soda board"
Attorney General Wickersham and Dr.
Tram Remsen, chairman of the board
that bears his name, appeared before
the committee yesterday. The Attorney
General was called to certify the Fowler
report. made oH March 81, 1909. Where
the Fowler report came from was not
made known by the committee.
Il do not know from what source you
the paper which you have
handed to me-" said Attorney General
but I have compared 1t
with the original. have certified IL, and
return II herewith. I should add that
this is one of several menorandums
which were prepared for me by other
attorneys connected with the depart
ment. all of which I took into considera-
ton in arriving at an opinion"
The opinion of Attorney General
was that the creation of
the board was perfectly legal, but he
did not pass upon the legality of the
acts of the board

HOW TO COOK MUSHROOMS
Variety Of Combinations Can 81
Served With This Edible Fungus
as Chief Ingredient.

A Philadelphia hostess noted for
ner delicious dinners, and especially
for various combinations that have
mushrooms as the chief ingredient
says that the reason none Of her
guests is ever Ill after a mushroom
supper Is that she always has fresh
mushrooms. never the canned or
bottled sort, and always has them
cooked for ten minutes or SO before
adding the various tid-bits that go tc
make up the delectable whole. Mush-
rooms require more cooking than
most persons think. and should be
thoroughly done before they are
served, no matter how much the i'm
patient ones may say, "Oh, they are
cooked enough: they will not harm
me-" as every chatting dish cook has
heard them say at times. An Italian
dish which this hostess has discov,
cred consists of oysters scalloped
with macaroni and served with a
mushroom sauce. Cheese Is omitted
and paprika takes the place OF cay,

WAXING FLOORS BY MOTOR
New Invention to Save Labor and
Strength Has Been introduced
In Berlin, Germany.

New household uses for the electric
motor are being found one by one.
This time 1t is a machine for waxing
the floor. The apparatus, which has
Just been introduced in Berlin. Ger
many. where 1t was invented. consists
of an electric motor, the bottom OF
which is formed by a strong revolving
brush. The motor Is connected with
one OF the electric light sockets; the
chambermaid takes hold Of the han
die and moves the small motor from
one part of the room to another until
the whole floor is polished. The wax
is, of course, applied before the pol
tshing begins. Thus the work can be
done much quicker. more perfectly
and without any effort on the part OF
the operator Every modern fiat In
Berlin is being provided with one OF
these electric floor polishers.
In the old fashioned way the polish
ing Of hardwood floors requires much
labor and strength. for the floor has
to be covered with wax. and this must
be rubbed with brushes until the wood
is as smooth as Ice and shines like
huge mirror
This work takes up much time and
has to be done quite frequently. In
houses with large rooms it Is SO diff
cult that the maid servants often re-
fuse to do it and men have had to ba
employed for this special purpose
