AVOID Az! QUESTION
OF PROHIBITION
KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS TO RE.
FRAIN FROM MAKING 1T is-
SUE OF CAMPAIGN. CON-
vENTloN TUESDAY.

Louisville. Ky, Aug. 12.-County
conventions were held throughout Ken
tncky today for the election OF dele
gates to the Democratic State conven-
tion which is to meet here next Tues
day. The work of the convention will
be confined to the adoption OF a plat
form. as the candidates for governor
and other State officers were chosen
In the primary last month.
Kentucky Doubtful State.
Great care will be exercised in build
ing the platform, for the Democrats
appreciate the fact that they must
fight To win a victory i'm the coming
election. Despite the success with
which the Democrats have been meet
ing In other sections the party leaders
here are aware that Kentucky, which
has been admittedly a doubtful State
since II went Republican for the first
time In 1895, is now more doubtful
than ever. This Is due partly to the
advantage of the Republicans I'm being
I'm control of the State administra-
tion and partly to the fact that the
Safes increase I'm population, as shown
by the recent census, has been almost
wholly i'm the eastern districts, which
are overwhelmingly Republican.
Avoid Liquor Question.
The platform will give an enthusias-
tic Endorsement to the policy pursued
by the Democratic party In Congress-
AS regards state issues the most in
terest centers in the resolutions con-
cerning the liquor question. Unless
the Republicans force the issue. which
so far they have evinced no intention
Of doing. the Democrats probably will
refrain from making the question the
chief issue OF the fight If the con-
vention feels obliged to take an en-
platte stand In the matter. however,
II Will probably declare itself against
Statewide prohibition and unequivo-
cally I'm favor of uniform local op-
tion law. with the county as the unit.

GRAND JURY TO -
PROBE MURDER
INTENSE INTEREST MANIFESTED
IN TRIAL OF HENRY CLAY
8EATTIE WHICH OPENS
MONDAY.

Richmond, Va, August 12.-Intense
interest is manifested throughout the
state in the opening, next Monday, OF
the session of the Grand Jury for
Chesterfield County. across the river
from here. The Grand Jury will be
called upto to investigate the Beattie
murder case. one Of the most sensa-
tional and puzzling crimes ever COM
mitted i'm that country. II is the gem
eral impression that there will be
enough evidence submitted by the
state TO justify the Grand Jury To find
an indictment for murder against Hen
ry Clay Beattie. Jr. now prisoner In
the Henrico County Jail. but at the
same time il is well known that the
state has added little to the circum-
stantlal evidence obtained shortly after
the crime was committed. that a reas-
enable motive for the alleged crime
has not been found and that counsel
for the defense has been working quiz
etly but diligently. assisted by a num-
ber OF private detectives, and is evi-
IDENTIFY determined TO make desper-
ate fight at the subsequent trial 10
save the accused from electrocution.
Beattie Protests Innocence.
pBeattie's story that his wife was
shot and killed with a shotgun by a
tall man with a long beard who had
held them up, while they We're driving
along Midlothian Pike. The ease call
ed for an investigation by the coroner
and after long and quite sensational
hearing the coroner's jury gave the
verdict that Mrs Beattie had been shot
and killed with a shotgun in the hands
of her husband. Henry Clay Beattie.
Jr. The latter was arrested and lodg-
ed I'm Henrico county Jail, where he
spent his time uncOncernedly, smoking
cigarettes and strumming on his gui-
tar Beulah Binford. girl with whom
Beattie is said to have had relations
extending over several years and who
was the mother of his child born two.
was arrested as a possible 'accomplice.
Since his imprisonment Beattle stuck
TO his original story. but his position
became serious when Paul Beattie, a
poor relative Of the accused, confessed
that he had bought for the prisoner
the shotgun with which the murder
had been committed. The State has
succeeded In forging a strong chain OF
evidence against Beat
tie, but the apparent lack of a motive
is considered a weak spot. which may
vitally affect the chances of convic-
tion.

A Famous Miser.

John ELVES, who lived-we can hard
~ saw fourished-in the eighteenth
century. was a famous miser. When
he possessed of a million Of money,
walked the streets of London philan-
thropic people would sometimes thrust
a penny into his hand, SO beggarly and
poverty stricken was his appearance.
He would eat food that was in the last
stage of putrefaction sooner than
throw it away and would ride for
miles out of his way sooner than pay
a twopenny toll on the turnpike. BY
an accident in the street he received
an injury to both his legs. and a doc
tor was called in. ELVES protested
that the expense was quite unneces-
sary and that he was not much hurt.
So he made an arrangement with the
doctor. The doctor was to take one
leg and treat as he liked. ELVES
would take the other and do nothing
to it. And he would bet the doctor
the amount of his bill that the intend
ed leg got well first. He used to boast
afterward that he beat the doctor by
q fortnight.

Pugilism, the practice of boxing or

hands of the pugilist were armed with

lead or iron. This form of athletic
sport was at first only permitted to
freemen among the Greeks. but grad
uaIly it was taken up as a profession
and lost much Of its prestige.
