TODAY
ARE WASTEFUL
So Declares Sir William Ramsay
Before British Scientists
At London.

London, Aug. 3O.-The British AS
sociation for the Advancement of Sci
ence. which has had a successful ca
reer of eighty years, during which time
it has accomplished notable results in
furthering scientific inquiry and in pro-
noting the Intercourse OF those who
cultivate science I'm different parts of
the British empire, opened it's annual
meeting today at Portsmouth.
Several hundred scientists OF inter-
national reputation filled the Ports
mouth town hall for the opening ses-
sion. Sir William Ramsay, the world
famous chemist. inaugurated himself
into the presidency, vice the Rev. Prof.
n. G.. Booney, who resigned. after
which he delivered the presidential ad-
dress.
In his address Sir William Ramsay
sounded as his leading note the In
creasing need of scientific training with
a view to future as well as to present
review modern conceptions of the ma
ture and constitution of the elements,
especially radlum and its products.
and proceeded to consider the available
sources of energy i'm Great Britain and
whether a reasonably economic use is
being made OF them. Having come to
the conclusion that the present day
methods are wasteful. seriously limit
ing the period of British national ex-
istence. he advocated an immediate
stocktaking of the nations possessions
of potential energy as the first step to-
wards their judcious conservation.
The sessions at Portsmouth will con
tinue an entire week. 1t is considered
improbable that the meeting win bring
forth any such surprises as the an
nouncement o the discovery Of argon
at the oxford meeting i'm 1895. but
there is abundant material in the pap
ers announced to insure an interesting
meeting.

DEFENSE TO have inning NOW
Will Introduce Much Testimony to
Uphold Contention That Mrs.
Beattie Was Shot by an
Unknown Assassin.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug
3O-The commonwealth wasprepared {,
combat TO-DAY the testimony given b!
hfteen- year-ol d Alexander Robertson
yesterday that he had seen blood spot
Mrs. Henry =. Beattie. Jr.. is alleged
TO have been killed by her husband
The significance OF the lads declara.
tions is that If IL should be proven
there were many blood spots on th'
road IL would support the contention
OF the defense that the first pool OF
blood dripped from the machine from
the bleeding woman, who was alleged
by Beattie to have been shot while In
the front seat.
Detective Scherer. who was active
in working up the case for the prosecu-
ton, was selected by the common
wealth to refute today the testimony
of young Robertson.
Explaining the alleged finding by the
boy on the second morning after the
murder of spots which apparently es-
capped the scrutiny of the detectives
the prosecution had planned to show
that what the boy really did was Ia
read the day after the murder a story
In an afternoon paper telling OF the
discovery OF many blood spots. In sup
port of this the prosecution had sum
moned the detective. who In good faith
gave to the newspaper the story IN
question, to tell how he later found he
had been mistaken, that the additional
blood spots which he thought he saw
were spots caused by expectoratlon
After these witnesses the prosecution
intended to rest It's case today
The prosecution rested its case al
noon. and the defense began the in
PRODUCTION of its witnesses.
Today the prosecution produced
fourteen witnesses, mostly detectives
10 controvert the testimony of AleXan-
der Robertson regarding the presence
of more than one blood spot on the
turnpike where Mrs. Beattie was kill
ed. The state had contended that the
big blood spot. where the murder oc-
cured. was not caused by dropping
from the machine, in which the nus
band alleged his wife wac seated when
she was shot, declaring no blood could
have oozed through the bottom OF the
car and the grease drip pan beneath
and by concentrating attention on a
single spot of blood the commonwealth
intended to show the woman was muir
dered I'm a different manner from that
described by the husband.
The first testimony of the defense
i'm support of the prisoners story that
alleged bearded highwayman KILL
ed his wife was introduced when Eu-
gene Henshaw, a farmer. declared he
saw bearded man, flfty years old,
walking on the turnpike of the road for
three successive davs before the muir
der.
II think he was a lunatic," said the
witness w. X. Howland, quarry
man, swore he saw a bearded man
with shotgun the afternoon OF the
murder. Howland lives near the
