By the United States Senate
with Only One Republic
can in Negative.
FOUR DE MOcRATS
Vote with the Republican
Members TO Consider
the Measure.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Mar. r.
BY vote OF afty-five to twenty
three, the United States Senate
voted to take UP the tariff board
bill half hour after converting at
II o'clock today.
Only one Republican. Burkett,
voted against the motion. Four
Democrats voted with the Republic
cans for the motion.
Word of an informal but decidedly
definite character that nothing but
approval by the Senate of the Ca
madam reciprocity agreement could
avert an extra session of Congress
reached the capitol today.
1t was said on authority more than
credible that in failure of such action
by the Senate, call for an extra
session to begin earlier than April
would be sent to Congress by the
President before adjournment OF the
present session.
Republicans have been called to
the White House for consultation
regarding the Canadian reciprocity
agreement.
The die Is cast, said one Repub-
lican senator after returning to the
capitol. president Taft has de-
cided that there must be an extra
session and that he will call 1t
earlier than April A."
March 90 is the date talked about
and 1t is announced that a confer
ence will be held probably Monday
TO decide upon the date.
While they denied there was a fli-
buster in progress on the tariff board
bill, the Democrats in the Senate
this AFTERNOON made 1T clear that
they would continue their fight
against the measure for an in
definite period. The Republicans
are apparently determined to let all
appropriation bills walt until action
is secured on the tarih board.

Of the murder. He was driving with the
doctor. They drove west and went within
100 yards of the Belt Line. 1t was about
S o'clock when they started back. Two or
three automobiles passed them.
Asked II Henry Beattie had passed him,
he said not that he saw, and that he
knew him.
Herbert Richardson was the next wit
ness.
Judge Watson interrupted the court
proceedings long enough to say: Can
you counsel assure me that this man
Talley will be produced in court to-mor-
row? He must be heard further in con-
tinuation of the line Of testimony devel-
oped this afternoon. II you cannot, 1
shall send court officer after him to-
night"
Attorney wendenberg assured the court
that he would promise to have Talley
on hand tomorrow morning.
Richardson. who is a chauffeur for
Richmond taxicab concern, was asked II
he had ever been held up in Chesterfield
County. Attorney Wendenberg immedi-
ately entered an objection, whereupon
Harry Smith stated that his question
was designed to show that hold-ups were
not infrequent on Chesterfield highways.
Held Up by Highwaymen.
The question was admitted, and the
witness testified that he had once been
held up on the Petersburg road.
Carroll Montague STas asked II he re-
membered some young men coming 20
his relief after being held up.
Yes: in the latter part of July a
year ago. They were bringing me gaso-
line on the Petersburg turnpike. as my
car had run out of gasoline.
when l returned from Chester, where
went to get gasoline, l found that my
car had been filled and the car was
coming TO meet me. From information
received I took the precaution to have
my wife and my partners wife lie down
in the bottom of the car while l ran
the car as fast as possible by what
had been informed was the danger
point"
Mr.. Montague practically qualified as
an automobile expert, and testified that
he was familiar with machines OF the
type OF the Beattie automobile, and that
IL Is a rough riding car" His testi-
mony was TO the effect that it was posi-
BILE that a short gun might have been

declared emphatically that a gun might

tance at which the gun in this case was
found from the crossing.

ryman's story might be considered one
Miss Louise Reams. bridesmaid Of
Louise Owen when she became Henry
Beattie's bride, identified a yellow-shell
hairpin found at the scene Of the crime
as OF the sort Mrs Beattie wore, but
she had to admit that thousands Of other
women wore similar ones.
Then nearly a dozen witnesses were
called to deny trifiing point made yes
terday by a boy witness. to the effect
that there had been two large blood
stains in the road. instead Of one. After
this the State rested its case.
Besides the one intelligent witness, tell
ing Of the strange man with the gun. -
he defense presented another, Eugene
Henshaw. a straggly- bearded, incoherent
old farmer. who proudly declared that he
was a Mormon. His story. instead OF
helping that Of the quarryman, Holland.
spoiled the defense's plans. Henshaw saw
man, he said, six feet tall and strange
to the region. near the scene Of the crime.
But Cross-eXamination brought out that
this man was about sixty years old, and
had a gray stubble of beard instead of
the sandy one described by Holland, and.
anyhow. Henshaw hadn't seen him until
the day after the tragedy. He was ap-
parently a tramp. resting by the roadside
Most OF the remaining time was con-
sumed by the defense trying 10 destroy
the character of one Sam" Talley, who
when called by the State said he had
heard on the fatal night first a womans S
scream. then a shot. then the sound Of
an automobile racing past his house.
Sam Is Fighter.
Half a dozen witnesses were called to
say that Sans reputation for truth and
veracity is bad. But, it appears, Sam
is considerable of a fighter. He has
boasted he could lick anybody in Ches-
terfield County So the witnesses were
very reluctant to say anything detri-
mental to him. What few did malign
him said they had no personal knowl-
edge of what they said, but merely had
heard others talking, and they weren't
sure about the reputation OF the others.
Apparently the line of defense will be:
The strange man with the gum" young
Henry Beattia's general reputation among
his neighbOrs for peacefulness at home
and abroad; Paul Beattie's possible envy
and hatred of him, and finally Henry's
own story denying the killing and blam-
ing 1t upon the highwayman.
Henry will be saved for the last, II is
and will take the stand possibly
Friday or Saturday. The case is expect
ed to go to the jury on Monday or Tues
day.
