bEATT|E MURDER
 CASE IS CALMER Henry Beattie Sits Quietly in Jail-Public Feel
 ing Quieter

Richmond, Va, July 2S.-Today fur n'shed the calm after the storm of inter est and indignation in the Beattie mur- der case which prevailed yesterday. Henry C. Beatte. Jr., held by the coroners S jury responsible for the killing of his young wife, remained quietly in Hen rico county Jail to which he was taken for safel1eeping and exhibited throughout the day the nonchalance which he has main tained during the proceedings in which he has been the principal figure. By per- mission he carried his guitar to jail with him. He read the accounts of the cor oner's inquest in the papers today wi,h appaIent interest, and ate meals which were sent to him from a nearby res taurant with relish.
 Paul Beattie, Henry's cousin, who is also held in the Henrico jail as a ma terial witness for the prosecution. also asked for newspapers and read the &C., counts of his own testimony at the In : quest, and In the womans ward of the same prison, Beulah Bnford, the "wa- man. in tbes -casel''- also held as-.a1 wi r.. ness, spent the das- alone. Neither Paul nor Benlah seemed to have any symp-
 
 which characterized them yesterday.
 It is understood that Mr Wenden- burg, counsel for the commonwealth scouts the prevalent idea that Paul Bea ttie had knowledge of the use to which the gun he bought for Henry was to be put. if he were not actually at the scene of the killing Tuesday night It seems certain that Paul Is about to establish an alibi, so far at least as Tuesday evening is concerned
 The scene of the crime on the Mid lothian turnpike was visited by hundreds of people today, many of the throng looking for evidences of the murder which have not yet come to light. One person picked up a number of six-shot unused cartridges. which is believed to be one of those purchased by Paul and delivered to Henry with the gun. Two at least of the four cartridges bought are thus ac- counted for. .
 The murder continued the one topic of talk throughout the city today and mi isters indirectly referred to the crime In their sermons. MT and Mrs R. V. Owen of Dover. Del, parents of the mur- dered woman, and mother, left with the News, with the idea of getting away from the excitement and strain of the situa- ton.
 Henry Beatties relatives came to Vir- ginia from Michigan about the year 1870 and his grandfather and father were both in succession postmaster of Manchester, now a part of Richmond, and known as South Richmond. The Owens, to which family the murdered woman belonged, are people of good standing in Chester field county.

washington, July 2S.--Rain and plenty of 1t throughout the country Is prophesised by the weather bureau for tho coming week. Cooler weather will follow tho downpours in the beginning of the week, but this cool wave will give way to high temperatures later, although no unsea son. ably hot weather is expected.

 'No extremely high temperatures are probable during the week except possibly In tho extreme southwest and the interior of tho south Pacific states, where an absence of precipitation is also probable.

Some individual fields may be damaged to 10 per cent. The weevil will begin to multiply and mig ,te in September and October 4 AS phis, July 23.-The Commercial Ap- EAS will say:
 : V fhe cotton crop grew and developed 2 n normal way during the week in che two Carolinas, Georgia and all states west of the Mississippi river and in Ten nessee. In Mississippi and Alabama there are complaints of excessive rainfall, but the damage appears to have been slight and such as will be easily overcome with fair weather. The plant has grown rap idly, but generally taking on fruit also. Continued excess of rainfall might cause excessive growth at the expense of fruit age, so that dry weather west of the Mississippi river is desirable.
 General and copious rains have caused marked revival in the plant In Texas and Oklahoma and the outlook is de- cidedly more promising. Sufficient rain for the present has fallen in these states"

Montgomery, July 23-Reports from nearly every county in Alabama are a little less hopeful in the outlook. for the cotton crop than they were two weeks ago. They indicate that there has been too much rain, but with continued good seasons of moisture, the damage will not be great. A drouth now would cause many bolls to fall off and would other wise injure the weed.
 The plant has grown wonderfully in the past two weeks. the stalk being large and strong and green and full of bolls. There is some complaint that the plant is too large, and that 1t has develop, a, to the detriment of the fruit. ~
