Ryan and Pivonka.
CFrom a staff Correspondent.


LINCOLN. sept s--(special. )--Governor
Aldrich has informed Attorney General
Martin that he will as soon az posi- Bile
file with the latter official a written re-
quest that an custer prosecution against
Messrs. Ryan and Pivonka Of the South
Omaha fire and police board be instituted,
but that no such action be started against
Mayor Trainor.
The suit will be filed in the supreme
court under the provisions OF the sackett
law and the defendants will be charged
with a failure and gross negligence in
enforcing the laws Of the state of Ne
braska ana the city of South Omaha. The
defense, II is understood, charges that
their duties do not contemplate enforce
ment OF law, but the mere employment of
policemen and firemen and the discharge
Of same upon the proper showing.
Late this afternoon Governor Aidrich
sent letter to Attorney General Martin
in which he requested that official to start
the proceedings against the two South
Omaha men, The letter sent from the
state executive set out that these officials
had failed to enforce the law with relation
to the sale of liquor and to gambling. Il
am convinced that there is a general law
lessness going on in the city of South
Omaha at the present time, said the
sioners and each of them are not trying to

FOR And AGAINST THE STRIKE
Momentous Question Now Being
Fought Out at Conference.
NO DEFINITE ACTION Is TAKEN
Youn EMsn of Hartman Lines on Pa

Out, but the Older Ones
Are Holding Back.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Sept. s.-Men
high in the councils OF the shop employees
on the Hartman system are striving today
10 present the $1,000 individuals whom
they represent from going on strike Other
men also high in the same councils are urg-
ing drastic measures as the result OF the
railroads refusal TO recognize the fedora
ton of shopmen.
The momentous question is being fought
out at meeting in this city Of four in
ternational presidents who met here a week
ago in conference with julius Kruttsch-
nit, vice president OF the Hartman lines
and of general committeeman from various
parts of the country. all forming an ad-
visory board Of the federation.
No definite action was taken and prob
ably none will be taken today. ]. w
Kline International president OF the black
smiths union said:
THE younger men are eager to call a
strike at once, but calm action is being
counciled by the older men. For a youns
man living 1T home and receiving 81 a
week strike benefit, a strike has no par
tcular terrors. but II Is q different question
for q man with family to support"
From statements made by several OF the
labor leaders before going into conference
today their meetings probably will last
we'll into next week.

Convicted of Murder of Wife, Elec-

DECLARES THE VERDICT UNFAIR
Public FEELING StiII Rune High
Against the Condemned Man, hut
sympathy is with the
Aged Father.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE Va,
Sept. "A heavy guard patrolled the little
stone Chesterfield Jail last night and to-
day the lone guardsmen were the only
persons Henry Clay Beattie, jr., convicted
last night of the murder of his wife, saw
as he looked out on the pastoral scene
which, until a few hours ago, was dotted
with hundreds Of his fellow townsmen.
Jailer Cogbin brought the prisoner his
breakfast and he ate in silence. Beattie's
thin pallid face wore a Pickering smile as
he gazed through the grated window at
two newspaperm lolling in the grass
"Fearfully unfair" he muttered in his
cell when asked his opinion Of the verdict.
"Beaulah Binford' he added figured
largely in the verdict, more largely than
the testimony of the killing These country
folk cannot understand how a woman Of
the underworld can be crazy about you.
They don't know when that happens how
very hard IT is to get rid of her
Hoped 10 Get Rid of Girl.
Il have drifted along, hoping against
hope, that something would occur to rid
myself Of that Binford girl. And once a
woman of that kind feels that you no
longer take any interest in her she
usually seeks solace in suicide. So l drifted
along, waiting for a chance to break off
relations with her without having her hurt
herself I tried hard to persuade her in
the meantime to lead a proper life"
Some time today it was expected that
Beattie would be taken to the state prison
in Richmond TO await electrocution on No.
vember "a or the granting Of a new trial
by the court Of appeals which meets early
in that month.
Many lawyers today, discussing the posi-
bility of a writ of error, were of the opin-
ion that it would not be granted. The
court OF appeals they asserted, set prece-
dent in the famous McCue case Of 1904
Public Feeling Runs High.
Public feeling over the crime still runs
high in this section and in Richmond, where
Beattie lives The verdict was received
with little surprise by the community The
loud-voiced speech OF L. O. Wendenburg
the prosecuting attorney, still rang in the
ears Of the people today as they talked oil
the case.
Expressions of sympathy were heard eV-
erywhere for the aged father of the pris'
oner a prominent merchant and highly
respected citizen. His grief today was
heartrending The affection between the
father and son, manifested in the long
days Of the trial as they sat side by side
the parent related on the witness stand
to have grown intensely since the early
death of the boys mother. 1t was the
theory of the prosecution that fear lest his
father might learn from the lips OF Henry
wife of his renewed indiscretions with the
Binford girl that prompted young Beattie
to commit the crime and fabricate the tale
of the bearded highwayman.
Somewhat hopeful. yet bent down in sor'
row at the awfulness Of the blow, the elder
Beattie visited the prisoner today. Coun-
sci had told him not to lose hope that
they yet might save his boys life

Ponition of Yoters.

But at the first opportunity the voters
Of the state most emphatically declared
that they play politics, who thwart eff
forts for reforms and not they who make
such efforts, however hopeless of immedi-
ate success
And talk of playing politics. The mem
oers Of the obstructive republican legts-
lature were, according to press reports, in
constant touch with the national admins
tration during both sessions. The speaker
and leaders frequently went to Washing
ton and conferred with the president. Half
the cabinet were sent to take part in
the campaign last fall. where the direct
issue was who had been playing politics
and who trying TO serve the public inter-
ests. Yet in dispatches inspired in Wash
ington the claim is now set up that this
great record OF accomplishment by a DEM
ocTahc administration is due to those,
who had to be twice defeated at the
polls to secure it, Even from washing
ton says one of these, after reciting with
praise what had been done where il was
realized by the republican chieftain that
the democrats would claim most OF the
credit for the passage Of such legislation,
republicans in the legislature were urged
and advised to support proposed laws
benefit to the great masses Of the peo-
pie"

LIttIe InfIuence in Ohin.

This chieftain must have little influence
with his followers in Ohio, because. with
now and then an honorable exception in
either house. they continued to oppose a
solid front against the entire program of
reforms for which the democratic admins
tration was contending with its slender
majorities in senate and house. Surely.
trying TO take credit from those who have
earned II is the worst form of playing
politics.
Let our friends in congress take heart,
for If what they have done is playing
politics, the people will cry, Go on with
the game
Take the tariff out Of politics say
some The president missed the best OPP
portunty there ever vas to do this by
signing bills to reform the tariff which
were passed by a democratic house and a
republican senate obeying the command
OF enormous popular majorities to which
men Of both parties contributed
But the tariff will never be taken out
OF politics so long as II is to be prostituted
for private gain and those who get or
wish to get the gain and control the
organization of one OF the great parties
For the voters will always use the other
party for their defense and the conflict
will go on until II Is settled whether
