street from Main, on his way to Fair

a slow pace. Lardis stepped into the

E., ROUTzAHN HERE
FOR A CONFERENCE
With Anti-tuberculosis So
ciety Leaders Loud in
Praise of South.

.'The south is being re-discovered.
The south itself is about to discover
the south. The north is discovering
the south-the real south" This is
at the close of the four years cam
paigning in the south as director OF
the American tuberculosis Exhibition,
the travelling health show" of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis. Routz-
ahn is spending part of Thursday and
Friday in conference with the leaders
of the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculo-
sis society.
Director Routzahn said that ''the
first discoverers of the south found
ers are finding what the land will do
and what men will do with the land.
The true story of the undeveloped re-
sources of the south is fully as amaz-
ing to the south as it is to the north
and the east. The south has discover
ed that it can raise corn as well as
cotton. The north will soon discover
that the south will raise or make at
home much that it has been buying
in the north or west. The north will
also discover that the south will vel
come the man from the north who is
capable of helping the south to de-
velop it's resources.
South Not Unhealthy.
Even the south must discover that
most of the popular ideas about bad
health conditions in the south are
without foundation. Malaria has been
discovered to be the mosquito and not
bad air or bad water. One can live
along the rivers of the south with the
same safety that one lives by a Michi-
gan lake. The night air in Alabama or
South Carolina is as wholesome as
the night air of Ohio or Indiana-and
both are as good as the day air in any
state.
Then both north and south are dis
covering that the other folks are quite
human and altogether likeable to meet.
Most southern cities are not large,
but they are growing, and they are
claiming many of the best things of
modern city life and are trying to
dodge the worst things of big cities by
taking advantage of the experience of
other cities.
Everyone should see the south for
himself. See Charleston and Savan-
nah-both ever SO different, and both
different from any other American
city. See Mobile. nearly the Oldest
city in the country, very conservative
but bubbling with new ideals and am
bitious desires. See Atlanta and Bir-
mingham and Nashyille-all very diff
ferent, but all good towns. See Mem
phis, once feyer-ridden, but now ever
free from even the possibility. See
New Orleans and see for yourself what
New Orleans is. See Biloxi on the
gulf, and Natchez on the big river. and
Knoxville in the mountains.
See these and many others, but
see them with kindly, appreciatiye
eyes, and you will discover that they
are true American cities. pleasantly
different from your home city Go to
them in the spirit of the true discover
er and you will learn much and enjoy
much. and you win go again

Final Arguments in Famous
Murder Case Are Being
Heard Today, then Case
Will Go to the Jurymen.
PRAISE OF BEATTIE
GIVEN BY ATTORNEY
Counsel Smith for Defense
Calls Accused, Capable,
Honest and of Good Char
acter-A Juror Sleeps.
(Eational News Associa tom


CHESTERFIELD, Va, Sept. S.
With the end of his trial on the charge
of wife murder swiftly approaching,
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., retained his
remarkable nerve today, protesting
greater confidence than ever of ac-
quittal. Apparently nobody besides the
prosecuting attorney looked for con-
viction. The general opinion expressed
anticipated acquittal or disagreement
Many wagers offered on this basis
were accepted.
Supplementing the plea made to the
jury by Hill Carter yesterday Attorney
Harry Smith, for the defense, began
his argument today by praising the
jury for fair and diligent attention CIV
en- to the testimony and expressing
confidence that whatever verdict shall
be returned it will be a conscientious
one. Mr.. Smith concentrated his ef-
forts to convince the jury that there
was room for reasonable doubt of the
guilt of the accused Mr.. Smith depict
ed the prisoner as capable young
man, of known veracity and high repu-
tation, and contrasted him with his
cousin. Paul Beattie, the chief witness
against him who Smith described as
a shiftless man and a liar.
He Praises Beattie.
Under a murderous cross-examina-
tion," said Mr.. Smith, Henry Beattie
stood firm in his story and showed the
manner of man he is. Can you believe
the contention of the commonwealth
that man of Henry Beattie's type
could have done such a fiendish mur-
der? If he did do it then no fouler
fend in Hell exists than he.
Henry Beattie Is truthful and hon.
est and kindly man." continued his
attorney. I'VE have proved this. This
crime was not done in anger. There is
no theory of that sort The theory of
the commonwealth is that this defend
ant conceived this crime which out.
classes the brutality of all the Bor-
gias; thought it over. slept on it and
carried it in his brain while he kissed
his victim and his old father
And, gentlemen, you are asked to
believe that an educated young man,
like Henry Beattie, could have done
this. 1t is inconceivable. You cannot
believe it,
All during the argument by Mr..
Smith, Henry Beattie sat, impassive
Of face, listening keenly to every word
and occasionally studying the fates of
the jurors with his cold. blue eyes. If
he had any emotion in him or any fear
of death in his heart, he was the mas
ter CT both emotions.
During Smiths long argument one
of the jurors fell asleep and Sheriff
Hill also drifted into dreamland A
poke in the ribs wakened the former
and a kick on the shins brought the
sheriff back to earth.
The prosecution will close the argu.
ment this afternoon and the case will
then go to the jury.

jected to Plan Because 1t
Did Not Have Funds for
Such a Purpose.

Plans for the building and endow-
Hospital for the treatment of Wayne
county people afflicted with tuberculo-
sis will be discussed by tho members
OF the Wayne County Antituberculosis
Society, when. they meet this evening
in the Commercial Club. The principal
address of the meeting will be given
by e. G. Routzahn a director Of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
DR.. 8. Edgar Bond. an active leader
in the county society said this morn
ing that because of the excellent res
+. ponses of the citizens of this city
when the Red Cross stamps were put
on sale In the last two years, the State
Red Cross Society had promised to
furnish the shacKs to the city. and to
deliver them at any time desired. Two
double shacks and two single ones are
thought to be sufficient to handle prop
erly all the patients In the county.
The buildings are made Of wood, and
can be heated. Because of their dura-
BILE construction and the opportunity
Of heating them, the shacks are con-
sidered much more practicable and
suitable than the tents which are or
dinarily used.
Mad Endowrent Fund.
The reason the shacks have not
been installed before this time is that
the Reid Hospital authorities have
raised objections to the project. The
reason assigned for this opposition has
been that the hospital has not enough
funds for the maintenance of the tu-
berculosis buildings. and they did not
want to have the buildings set up un
less the patients could be properly
cared for. Now the State organization
has made different proposition to
the county society SO an endowment
fund for the shacks can be raised. In
former years, all the money raised To-
cally from the sale Of red cross stamps
has been directly to the state associa-
i tion, and many. believed that this plan
should be changed so that this local
ity might get some benefit from their
liberal purchases of Red Cross stamps.
This is what the State authorities now
plan to do. for they have agreed that
IS per cent of the money received in
this county from the sale Of stamps
this year. shall be kept by the Wayne
County society to be used at its dis
cretion. This means that all but the
rs per cent which must still be put in
the State fund will be used for the
benefit of local patients of the dread
disease, II is proposed that this Is per
cent be used as an endowment fund
for the shacks to be erected at the
Reid Hospital.
This proposition will be finally set
tied tonight. and If it meets with the
approval of the members of the county
society. a request will be sent at once
to the state authorities for the shacks
All citizens Interested in the move
ment as well as members of the organ
ization, are invited to attend the gath
ering.
