He FACED THE JURY
Beattie Trial Called with In
Gle of Murdered Woman
on the Stand.
National News Association

CHESTERFIELD, Va, Aug. "a
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., with his char
acteristic iron nerve today faced the
twelve sturdy jurymen, who will de-
eide his innocence or guilt on the
charge of numbering his young wife,
Louise Owen Beattie, while they were
enjoying their first automobile ride,
after the birth of their child when the
young mother was shot dead on the
evening of July 18th. The automobile
which they occupied was driven into
the courtyard this morning where
many morbid spectators of both sexes
viewed it's bloodstained cushions. The
machine will be introduced as evil
dence. The first witness was Thomas
Owen, an uncle of the slain woman,
who told how Beattie drove up to the
house where the young couple were
living on the night Of the murder, ex-
claiming ooh God. Oh my God" as he
held his wifes dead body in one arm
while he drove the automobile with
the other. Owen described the wound
as a hole in the side of the face as
big as a dollar and the hair clotted
with blood which at first caused him
to believe the girls head had been
blown Off
Young Beattie has maintained the
same iron nerve in the. Jail here that
he has exhibited during his incarcer-
alton at Richmond. He slept until Z
o'clock this morning and at $3.50 ate
a large breakfast. prepared by the 16
year old daughter of the jailer.
Attempts by outsiders to see Beat
tie in his cell were futile. as he told
the jsiler he would see no one but his
relatives and counsel. The cell in
which the prisoner spent his Rrst
night here is steel barred cage
about 10 feet square with but one
small window. Besides Beattie there
were nine other prisoners, of which
seven are negroes. The two white men
occupying cages on either side of
Beattie made frequent attempts to
talk to him during the night but were
rebuffed.
The jury of IL men upon whom Beat
ties fate rests were permitted to read
mutilated copies of newspapers while
they sat on a big bench in the shade
of giant oak tree until the court
convened this forenoon. One of the
most interested witnesses was young
Beattie himself who stood unmoved
alongside the auto car in which his
wife had met her death, and which
was swung into the court house

G. A. R. POLITICIANS
DEFEAT ]. M'ELR0Y
Confidential Letter, Purporr-
ing to Have Taft's Sup
port, Given as Cause.
National News Association

ROCHESTER,, N. ", Aug. 24.-The
Grand Army of the Republic convened
this morning with the clouds of dis
sent that have Swallowed the first
days of the big encampment breaking
away and a definite certainty in sight
for the veterans. .
Judge Harvey NJ. Trimble, of Illinois
will be chosen as the next commander
in-chief. Yesterday seemed to settle
that fact completely. The veterans
played at politics all day and by night
it was confidently announced Trimble
had enough delegates to assure his el-
ection. The chances of John McElroy,
twice a candidate for the office, and
until Tuesday the choice of the vet
Grams, were dashed by the publication
of a letter marked "confidential' but
expressing the intimation that he was
the choice of the administration for
the post
The veterans have a strict rule
against the injection of politics into
their elections and McElroy's chances
were killed. The selection of senior
vice commander is settled by the with
drawal of Col Henry s. Redman, of
Rochester leaving Nicholas Day OF
New York City, the only candidate.
Los Angeles has been decided upon
as the place for the 1912 encampment.
The McElroy letter excited such a
storm in the ranks of the veterans
that the other big issue of the encamp-
ment, the pension issue, was wellnigh
forgotten. McElroy was champion
of the Sulloway bill, but Judge Trim
BILE is credited with favoring the Sher-
wood pension bill. The respective
measures will have some little bearing
on the result of the election but not
nearly SO much as was expected.
Many of the veterans took President
Taft's utterances last night to be
reprimand for McElroy. The Presi-
dent said in his speech: Il am glad
to know that no suggestions of out
side influences are permitted to have
weight in your councils of the selec-
ton of your leaders"
The President addressed the veter-
ans last night in a speech devoted to
Ia frank plea for public sentiment for
his plans for peace and arbitration.
He appealed to the men who best
knew the horrors of war to help him
promote peace and his words were
greeted with frequent rounds of ap-
plause that evidenced that the .veter-
ans were of one mind with him. The
President spoke for thirty minutes
reading his. address from notes and
left at. 8:55 for, his summer home at
Beverly.

Immediately the containers were
hustled out and their contents dumped

surroundings the executive building.
The House of Representatives and
the Senate were in session at the time.
The internal revenue office is on the
side of the building upon which the
House is situated, so the Senate lost
the benefit of the alcoholic aroma. But
the House was wise, evidently, for at
different moments, at strangely sug-

A fight has developed among the
heirs of the late James Campbell over
the proposition to increase the month
ly allowance of Miss Mary Beatrice
Campbell, a minor under the guard
ianship of Col. Sam. Parker, from
$500 to $1,000 and also give her sep
arate lump sum of $4,000 to pay the
expenses of a foreign tour.
When the petition was filed on the
third of March all appeared plain
sailing, but when it came before
Judge Robinson this morning it
transpired that other beneficiaries of
the estate we're insurging. Frank
Thompson appeared for the petitioner
and w. L. Stanley and G. H. Olson
for the Campbell estate trustees, and
when the fact of opposition was
broached counsel on both sides cor
daily agreed that all the beneticiaries
should be made parties to the suit.
To give time for this to be done, the
hearing was postponed for one week.
1t is anticipated there will be battle
royal between knights of Blackstone
next Saturday morning.
Samuel Parker, guardian of the
person Of Mary Beatrice Campbell, is
the plaintiff, and Albert N. Campbell,
Cecil Brown and Heinrich Maertens
Won Holt, trustees under the last will
and testament of James Campbell, de-
ceased, are the respondents in the
original suit.
In the petition Colonel Parker re-
cites that on August IA, 1909, the re-
spondents were ordered to pay to
petitioners predecessor (Alice K
Macfarlane) the last day of each cal
endar month the sum of six hundred
dollars as and for monthly allowance
for the support and maintenance OF
Mary Beatrice Campbell. He then
proceeds by way Of preamble to his
prayer to say:

Bacteriologist Moses Clegg states
that one of the dangers of infection
is the manner in which Hawaiians
take their meals.
The idea is to keep their fingers
out of the poi, and the raw fish, and
the limu and other edibles. He ex.
plains that the eating of these various,
or of any dishes, by the use of the fin
gers, where several people are gat-
hered together, leads to the dissemin-
ation of germs. One person has a germ
on his finger, through one cause or
another, and he dips said finger in
the poi, or other article of Hawaiian
diet, and the cholera germ is passed
around.

In doing so he remarked that this step
was taken because she had a large
family depending on her and for no
other reason. If during the next
thirteen months she did not sell any
liquor she would escape without pun
ishment but if she made single sale
she would be brought into court and
sentence imposed upon her, probably
a fine of $500. The court has been
lenient with her because she had
brought into court FIVE children, but
it would not do any good if she

asked to supply Kalihi factory.
The growers have been supplying
the Chinese factories, and it is be-
lieved that they now intend to hold
back their crops until the Chinese
factories are allowed to open up again.
Some are said to be under contract
to the Chinese factories.
District Attorney Breckons has been
asked to investigate the matter with
a view to ascertaining whether there
is an illegal combine, and there may
be an inquiry next week. Unless the
matter is settled before that, Kalihi
factory won't be able to supply poi
except to contract customers, and a
serious poi famine is threatened.
