Memphis News-S -Scimitar: A trade of Wagner by the Barons for Foxen of the Pelicans was announced today by Man ager Molesworth. There was a money consideration to boot. Moley says that he thinks Wagner will fare well with New Orleans, and is pinning much faith to Foxen. The latter will join the Bar ons at Nashville and Wagner will stay here and join the Pelicans. etRs
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-07-28

New Orleans Item: It is said the Bfr- min cham club has reserved the right to recall Wagner after this season. This may be true, but the theory that Frank intends to make a regular outf1elder out of Wagner for use in 1912 when he may no longer have Callahan and Barr, is more plausible. It is known that Frank is pretty sweet on Wagner's hitting, and he has more than once discussed the possi- bility of Wagner becoming f1rst-class outfielder.

UNIQUE WAY YOF ADVER-
TISING CAUSES SENSATION
Nd, VA.-SpeciaI.-

r G II NJ o N D, VA-Special.-
Quite a good deal OF excitement was
created on Main Street this morning
by the appearance of a parade. There
were only two teams in the parade
which was advertising Budweiser beer.
The first team consisted OF an orna-
mental wagon drawn by four pairs Of
paired off so that the leaders were
scarcely larger than shetland ponies,
while the wheelers were full-sized
mules.
The second team attracted more at
tention than the first. 1t was a long
prairie schooner" of the type used in
crossing the plains before the days Of
railroads. People looking at it seem
ed to be expecting to hear the war
the sides Of the wagon, which was
drawn by. three pairs Of fine oxen, were
rifles, hides, canteens and all the
para phernalia to be expected on a
wagon about TO make a trip across the
plains. Behind the wagon were chain
ed two hounds with sad, musical
voices. and who were not the least
ashamed of the fact.
The mule team, in charge OF Har-
vey Burgess. Will be used in this city
to deliver beer. If there is a parade
here Labor Day II is expected that the
teams viii be in line.

PROTEST AGAINST
HENRY'S REMOVAL

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE,
VA Special.-It is an open secret
that the people Of Chesterfield are
TAR from pleased at the action Of the
authorities in taking Henry G. Beat
tie to the Richmond Jail every day
instead Of allowing him to remain in
the county prison pending his trial
Many mutterings OF discomfort in
this connection have been heard, but
the Chesterfield jail, of course. is not
the finest or most up-to-date house
of its kind in the country. but il is
far from being a ram-shackle struc-
ture' and ii is amply strong enough
10 hold any man. however desperate
DR.. Ragalnd, the jail physician, says
he has heard no complaints from any
Of the other prisoners. AS for the rats
which are alleged TO have disturbed
Beattie's rest, the doctor knows moth
ing about them. Moreover. he says
that the Jail is in a perfectly sanitary
condition.
But aside from all this the Chester
Held people think the accused husband
is being shown entirely too much con-
sheraton, nor do they hesitate to ex-
press themselves about the matter.

EXCLUDE FAIR SEX
DURING TRIAL

CHESTERFIELD c. H.-Special.-
Just before Mrs. Binford began her
recital Monday afternoon Judge Wat
son called a halt, and suggested that
all the ladies in the court room re-
tlre, as he expected the witness might
be called upon TO testify concerning
matters not usually discussed in polite
society.
The women representing the press
forthwith arose, although the courts
remarks were couched in such Ian
suage as TO carry the intimation thai
they might stay if they saw fit to do.
Ihen Sheriff Gill, noting that other
women sui fingered, called out In
stentorian tones: II there is any la
ules IN mere, and they want to leave,

which could not be mistaken:

SECRET CAUSES
LOSS OF FORTUNE

NEW YORK Special E young
woman went to a lawyer in this city
the other day and told him that be-
cause her dead husband had induced
her to listen TO q secret which he
said was slowly killing him, and be-
cause she agreed to hear it, though
ne imposed the condition that they
die together Immediately afterward,
her Slster-in-law in Mexico City re-
fused to let her have the property
mat he left, amounting to something
like 500, 600. She said that she had
never told the secret. and that she
never would.
The lawyer has learned that last
winter, when she lay in the j. Hood
Wright Hospital, recovering from the
wounds inflicted by her husband upon
her and upon himself, from which he
died, she refused to submit to an
operation for bloOd-poisOning because
she was afraid OF telling the secret
under an anesthetic. Four letters
Went TO Mexico City yesterday to the
sisters OF the dead man. In these the
lawyer in the case has tried to bring
about an understanding without the
necessity of court proceedings.
Life Impossible" He Said.
Elsa Muchweck Torrea is the young
woman who lived when her husband,
Raul Torrea, died. She came from
Naumberg, Germany, a few months
before she met the young Mexican in
New York. They went to the City
Hall on October II, 1910, got a Ii
cense and had an alderman marry
them.
Less than an hour after they left
the City Hall he told her that he had
been carrying something on his mind
which was too much for him to bear.
He said that this secret oppressed
him so constantly that life was i'm
possible.
They went to live in an apartment
at POI West Eighty-third Street. For
a few days he said no more about
his secret Then he came to her and
said that he had decided she must
know, but that there was only one
way she could know. If they both
died he could be sure that no one
would ever know it. He could not
die with the thought that his secret
would live after him. Would she be
willing TO agree that they commit sui
eide together?
Entered Into Suicide Agreement.
His influence upon her was so great
that before two weeks elapsed after
their marriage she agreed to do as
he wished. on the afternoon of No
Nember 1st he turned on the gas and
they went to bed.
Consequences was leaving her
when sh<sheard footsteps in the hall

SUPPORT FAILS
FOR SOLDIERS
WOULD-BE MILITIA COMPANY
CANNOT GET PROPER EQUIP
MENT OR QUARTERS.

R c H NJ o n D, VA.-Special.-
Failing to get the support of the
people Of the county and being un-
able to get the equipment necessary
for soldiers, the command recently
formed in Alexandria county has been
forced to disband. The company
tried to get use OF a governmental
building at Fort Meyer, but Uncle
Sans war minister said no. The SUI
pervisors offered to furnish a store
room, but the men needed a place
for drills and the like. The expense
incident to the several camps, the in
struction of the men and much addi-
tiOnal cost made prior to the appli-
cation for the formation of the com
pany made il impossible for the Ad-
Jutant General to get the equipment
before October LIST. The men did not
seem disposed to wait and they de-
cided to disband.
The policy of the militia force is to
perfect the organization already
formed, to fit the men for service. to
have the highest proficiency rather
than to add numbers and TO have
many men who have no knowledge
Of the science of war or suggestion
