MAY REMAIN A MYSTERY.
Slayer of Mrs. 5esttie Will Never Be
Known. Some Believe.

Known, some Believe
Richmond, Va. Aug. 16.-"Will the
truth ever be known2" Is the question
which the people of this city and VI
cinity are asking regarding the case
of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., the young
husband of Louise Wexford Owen
Beattte, who was indicted by the
Chesterfield county grand jury for the
murder of his wife on the night of
July 10 while the two were automo-
billing along the Midlothian turnpike
a few miles from here in Chesterfield
county.
The homicide, considered the most
revolving ever chronicled In the annals
of Virginia criminology, 1t is believed
by some will remain d mystery. I'm
less Beattie confesses that he himself
fred the charge of buckshot, the opin-
ion prevails that the identity Of the
murderer will never be established.
Offers are said to have been made
to Beulah Binford, the seventeen-year-
old girl with whom Beattie became
friendly when she was fourteen years
old, 1t Is said, and who is held here
In the jail as a material witness, from
families IN Baltimore and New York
to adopt her and afford her a chance
to begin life anew. When Informed
of the alleged offers the girl laughed
amusedly and remarked that she knew

RADICAL CHANGE
IN VAUDEVILLE WORLD

According to the plans OF F. F.
Proctor given out after attending the
hearing Of the final arguments IN
the Proctor-Keith dissolution suit at
Portland, Me, there will be radical
changes in the conduct of affairs in
the vaudeville world within the next
fortnight or three weeks. Just what
these changes are to be or whom they
will affect, Mr.. Proctor would only
hint, but 1t IS understood that the
purposes to thoroughly clean the
vaudeville household, placing the
business upon a basis more satisfac-
tory to actor and public alike, and
utterly doing away with many Of the
abuses which have prevailed In the
past,
"Once the decision on the Fifth
Avenue theatre has been handed
down, which will be within the next
few weeks" said Mr.. Proctor, land
I am completely disentangled from
my former associations, / intend to
bend every effort toward placing the
vaudeville business on q higher plane
than has ever before been reached.
In doing this, l will be doing some
thing that | am confident will meet
with the approval of the public, and
if 1t does not coincide with the views
Of other vaudeville managers they
will have to make the best of it. for
| am determined to follow out my
plans to the letter.
Just what they are. I do not think
it is wise to make public at this time,
as any statement would be premature
until the court hands down it's deci-
sion. but I Will say that it was with
the design of putting these plans in
execution that l originally entered
into the partnership 0 so nearly at
end"

Mr.. Prentice laid the chief blame TO the
general belief that the high cost OF living

attention to the fact that history had only
repeated itself IN this respect, as In al
most every instance OF the past the party
responsible for new tariff legislation had
sooner or later gone down to defeat. con-
tinuous success" said the speaker, gives
a party to much confidence. and 1t becomes
unresponsive to the peoples will"

inclined to take everything which the
Arnolds or their representatives have
given out as the truth, and TO base his
views upon that, except that he refused
to subscribe to the theory advanced by
Mr.. Arnold that his daughter is dead.
The younger Griscom. On the contrary,
created the impression that climax
ending in the happy wedding was the
almost immediate prospect Of the finish
of the mysterious and famous case. He
spoke cheerfully always and repeated
several times that he felt sure the girl

With the return of Mrs. Arnold, who

cerned he makes no secret Of his belief
that the denouement will be wedding.

and my impression is that when you EXAM
Inc closely this agreement you will con-
graduate yourselves that we were able In
make one that covered so wide a range o.
subjects.
The President declared the criticism that
reductions had been avoided purposely On
manufactured articles TO be wholly un.
founded, and that a reciprocity Agreements
between the United States and Canada
must Of necessity relate moro to agricult.
ural products than to manufactures Ia
continued:
The suggestion that the opening OF Oh,
markets TO Canadian wheat and other
cereals will reduce the price OF land in
Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and lowe Is refuted
by every table OF statistics that presents
the comparative increases OF land In those
states under the influence Of the opening
Of the wheat fields of the states further
West.
To let the wheat Of the Northwest com.
down TO Minneapolis and Chicago wifi
steady the price OF wheat, will prevent its
fluctuations, will make much more difficult
speculation and will furnish us greater in
slrance against short crops and high prices
But that 1t will in the end substantially
reduce the price OF wheat. which Is fixed
for the world in Liverpool, no one familiar
with the conditions will assert
II will give to the United states much
greater control Of the wheat market than
II has ever had before. IL VIII enable it's
milling plants TO turn Canadian wheat into
fiour and send abroad the finished product.
and Il will stimulate the sale OF manufacf-
ures and other things that We have to sell
TO Canada.
The President further asserted that by re-
moving the artificial barriers between the
Northwestern part OF the United States and
the Canadian provinces the agreement
would result in bringing over live cattle 10
feed on the corn OF the American farmer.
He added that the rapid increase Of popu-
lation in the United States required "a
source Of food supply like Canada, right at
our doors"
I'VE shall be blind, indeed" he said, III
we reject this golden opportunity to add TO
the strength and virility OF our country by
thus increasing our self-supporting capac-
ity."
The President asserted that mo step
could be taken more in the interest Of
reasonable policy Of protection than the
approval of the treaty" and that insistence
on too much protection would arouse an
opposition IN this country that will know
no moderation" He said that was his rea-
son. also, for favoring the creation OF an
expert tariff commission or board. He sug-
gested that the tariff board might re-exam-
Inc and modify other schedules, II neces-
sary, but that a reciprocity agreement
with Canada is not a revision OF the tariff.
and in the nature OF things cannot present
the balance and the adjustment OF all the
duties against foreign countries which
consideration of the tariff as whole would
involve"
