CAN CONVICT WITHOUT 1T
ACCUSED MURDERER CALM AND
DEFIEs ATTEMPTS TO DIS
CREDIT HIS STORY
did HE FURNISH THE WEAPON
ATTEMPT is MADE TO SHOW
PRISONER PROVIDED GUN
WHICH KILLED WIFE

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept.
5.-After asking Henry Clay Beattie
Jr., indicted for wife murder, the one
question as to how he could account
for the translation of the same shot
gun from the hands of Paul Beattie,
his cousin, on Saturday night, to the
hands of the alleged highwayman on
the following Tuesday night, the prose
cution ended its cross examination of
the prisoner today. The accused de-
MED that he knew his cousin Paul
had a gun on the Saturday night In
question or that he was with him
during that week.
The commonwealth thereupon be-
gan its attack ON the prisoners story.
The rebuttal was practically an at
tempt to corroborate Paul Beattie's
story as to his alleged meeting with
Henry On Tuesday night to arrange
for the delivery of a shotgun to his
cousin on the Saturday following.
Several witnesses testified that they
saw the two cousins together on
Thursday, and Mrs. e. J. Houchens, |
of Paul Beattie, stated /
hat Henry brought Paul home in a
machine that same evening.
A second point taken by the com
was an assault On e. H.
Neblitt's testimony that Paul had a
shotgun on the bridge where he work
ed on the Saturday night following
the alleged transfer of the gun to
Henry. The witnesses sustained
Paul's statement that he had no gun
at the bridge that day, and one man
said he was there during the time of
Neblitt's visit and saw no gun.
Prosecutor Wendenbrug, during the
recess, said the prosecution would not
call Beulah Binford as a witness I'M
less the case assumed a more desper-
ate aspect than it now presented.

Chisasso, Switzerland, Sept. s.
Since the beginning of the present

HISTORIC Vessel
DEPOSED in RANK
CONNECTICUT WILL NO LONGER
BE FLAGSHIP OF UNITED
STATES NAVY.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Probably
within a year the battleship Connec-
ticut, Americas most famous flagship,
will surrender the banner of Rear
Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander
in chief of the Atlantic fleet, to the
dreadnought Wyoming, now nearing
completion, which has been selected
for the signal distinction of being
flagship of the navy's strongest force.
The Connecticut was the flagship OF
the fleet on Che famous cruise around
the world. From her deck, first
Read Admiral Evans and later Rear
Admiral Sperry directed the course
of the battleships in the unprece-
dented voyage.
Because of these honors much SEN
timent surrounds the Connecticut and
it is with reluctance that the naval
officials have decided to displace her
as the flagship of the battleship fleet.
AS the Wyoming will have a dis
placement of 10000 tons, or 10000
tons greater than that of the Connee-
ticut, the secretary of the navy has
concluded that the latter will be so
far outclassed that she must give
way to, her mightier sister. While
the Delaware, North Dakota, Utah
and Florida all are larger than the
Connecticut, the difference was not
sufficient to cause a change in the
flagship. The Wyoming and its twin,
the Arkansas, will be the greatest
vessels afloat.
According to the present schedule
the Wyoming will be finished July 2,
1912, and the Arkansas April 10 Of
that year. They will be commissioned
and ready for active service a few
months later.

TOMORROW.

San Francisco, Sept. 5.-The presi-
dents of the International Railroad
Shop Unions, who came to this city
last week to meet Vice President
Kruttschnitt of the Hartman lines,
expect that BIZ tomorrow the advisory
board of the Federation of Shop EN-
ployes of the Hartman system will
be in the city.
The meeting was called for Friday
but ]. w. Kline, spokesman for the
International presidents, said today
that there may be a meeting tomor-
row afternoon. The international
presidents were in consultation to-
day. Kline said there would be no
decisive action in connection with the
shop mems demands until the advis-
ory board arrived. Kline said he had
every hope that the differences would
be settled peaceably.
In regard to the report that the
demands of the men may be arbitra-
ted, Kline said that no proposals of
arbitration had been made to the
union by the railway officials, nor
have any such proposals been made
by the union. The fact is, he said,
that the feeling of the men is against
arbitration at this time. The other
international officers concurred in
Kline's statement.

schmidt sleps soundly last night. The
restlessness from which he is said to
have suffered for several nights prior
to his match with Frank Gotch and
which had been put forward as an ex-
cuse for his defeat, apparently had en-
entirely disappeared. He still COM
planned of pain in his knee, which
had been given severe wrenching by
the Iowan, but there was no indication
of serious injury, and the Russian
is expected to sail from New York
for England on September 9.
Gotch also had good nights sleep,
being in bed shortly after 10 o'clock
and not again being visible to callers
until we'll on toward noon today. He
will return to his Iowa farm, leaving
for Humboldt tonight.
The calling off of all bets on the
Gotch-H h-Hackenschmidt wrestling match
yesterday has raised a storm of pro-
test by those who had money up on
the winner. Herman F. Schuett1er, as
sjstant chief of police, last night ex-
planned the action by saying that such
a procedure is customary. An added
reason, he said, is that the police are
to stamp out gambling in
city.
Referee Smith," Chief Schuettler
explained, proposed that the bets be
called off. His reason was that in
case the match turned out to be a
poor one, as it did, there would be
tremendous squawk from the betters
and that the wrestling game would
receive a serious setback in Chica-
go.
"You understand it is quite custom
ary TO call bets off in events OF this
kind" he continued. "It has little ef-
feet, as the betters will back their
opinions regardless of the announce
ment. One more fiasco like this and
wrestling is a dead card in Chicago"

REFERENDUM AND KINDRED
MEASURES cHAMPIoNED

San Francisco, Sept. 5.-The action
of President Taft on the Arizona state
hood bill in eliminating the recall of
the judiciary was denounced as an at
tempt at the bribery of people by
Senator Moses e. Clapp, of Minnesota
at a banquet given last night by the
direct legislation league.
What shall we say of a policy to
force an electorate to foreswear it's
convictions as the price of admission
to the Union?" he said. at savors
o. the dark ages. 1t Is an attempt at
the bribery of people. There are
two cases of bribery now being inves-
tigated by the senate. yet, in the face
of that, here is attempt to bribe
whole people. The insult to the peo-
pie Of Arizona will react on the op-
ponents Of the recall of the Judiciary
and will do much to further the recall
of the judiciary through the United
States. The fight against the recall OF
the Judiciary, is the last stand of the
special interests"
Senator Clapp also attacked the
Payne-AIdrich tariff law, advocated
woman's suffrage and outlined the
benefits to be derived from the pass
age OF the initiative. referendum and
recall amendments to the constitution
of California, which will be voted on
October 10.

The Bernalillo county controversy is

assuring a truce among the republi-

The committee on call will set the

The representation is fixed at one
delegate for each 100 votes cast for
