SOCIETIES COME To
AID OF WIDOW AND
! STRANDED CHILDREN
Temporary Succor For Mrs.
Dennis, Pending Benefits
| And Contributions.

Plans are well under way by several
organizations and individuals for the
relief OF Mrs. Minnie Dennis, widow Of
Lieut.. L. r. Dennis, who, with her six
little children, is stranded in Washing
ton, cared for at the Confederate Me-
mortal Home, 1872 Vermont avenue
northwest
While arrangements are being made
by the Knights of Pythias for a bene-
fit performance for Mrs. Dennis at the
Columbia Theater, the directors of the
Confederate Memorial Home have in
formed Mrs. Emmart, the matron, that
Mrs. Dennis and her children may re-
main at the home until permanent ar
rangements of some kind can be made.
A contribution of $25 has been made
by the Spanish War Veterans, who also
plan to give the woman further aid.
Broken down from the strain she had
been under since arriving penniless in
this city week ago. and not yet fully
recovered from a serious illness that
confined her to hospital in Panama
several weeks. Mrs. Dennis is resting at
the home today. The attempt to OBJ
tain employment for her have been tenn
porarily abandoned.
Mother Cannot Work.
'"The woman is not physically able to
work." said Mrs. E<->nart, and 1 am
not going to let her even think of such
a thing until she has regained her
strength"
Two of the children who arc In poor
health. were this morning taken to
Providence Hospital for treatment. They
are Violet. aged eleven. and Virginia,
aged six. Arrangements for having the
children admitted to the institution
were made by Miss FraCces Joyce
Mrs. Arthur Johnson, leader among
Southern women in Washington. has
started movement which she expects
viii result in considerable money being
subscribed to aid the destitute widow.
1t is to be called an appreciation"
fund. and a general appeal Is to be
made TO all married women.
The idea originated" said Mrs.
johnson, when / learned that
woman who would not give her name
called at the home and said she want
ed to give some money to Mrs. Dennis
because the unfortunate woman's case
had made her appreciate just how
much it meant TO have husband to
look after and provide for her.
Interest All Wives.
'1t seems to me that every married
woman who has a husband living and
who hears of this pathetic case would
feel just the same way. should think
every one of them would want to help
her, for that very reason. Then. too,
/ should think the children of Wash
ington who have mothers and fathers
would want to save their pennies to
give to the six little fatherlesS chill
ldTen, who's, mother is unable to take
care Of them"
Three small cash contributions by
persons who wished their names with
held were left at the Confederate
Home today T J. Boyle, a meat deal
er in the Riggs Market; John KOlb,
caterer and confectioner, Washington
Grocery and Specially Company, Buff
Ialo Market; J. L. Sherwood, Herman
Schulz, and C. T. Mayhem, sent pro-
visions to the family.

How 5000 trees that help to make
| Washington a beautiful city are cared
for is told in the report of T. Lanham'
Superintendent of the District Trees
and Parkings Division. to Capt. Mark
Brooke, u. S. A., assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner. Mr.. Lanham tells
of the effects of weather and insects,
and the success of new methods en-
ployed.
The trees include those in the streets,
parkings, sidewalks. Fairgrounds, and
school yards There are 56l.4 miles OF
them, an increase of more than ten
miles over last year. The increase in
the number Of trees was smaller be-
cause of storms. Three Of the storms
were in quick succession, and employees
under Mr.. Lanham were hampered.
Work of Transplanting.
The number of young trees transplant
ed from the nurseries to the streets was
1859. The largest number of any va
riety transplanted last fall was AS,
sycamores, while in the spring the Nor
way maple led with S66. The other trees
planted werei elms, gingkos, lindens, pin
oaks, red oaks sugar naples, and pop
lars. The work in the nurseries was car
ried ON with expedition, so the District
has a present available stock Of 5000
young trees from which to draw for
street needs during the next four years,
and both the E street nursery and the
Georgia avenue nursery are wei Stock
ed with seedlings.
Trimming of trees was delayed greatly
by the storms. Mr.. Lanham reported.

EAGER TO GET OUT
OF JAIL .TOSEEB BABY
Points With Pride To the
Fact THAT Youngster
\ Has New Tooth"
By JULIA MURDOCH.
Over Tfmes' Leased Wire FROM Ches-
terfieId Court House.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE,
Va, Aug. 25.-Thoroughly contented
with his present quarters, but mighty
anxious to get home, Is the way IN
| which Paul Beattie, cousin of Henry
Clay Beattie, jr., On trial for the mur-
der of his wife. expressed himself on
the eve OF his appearance on the witness
| stand when he will tell the court what
| he knows OF the murder of his cousin
wife. In the Richmond jail he has spent
the days since his Incarceration In en-
tertaining visitors, smoking his briar-
wood pipe, and reading the newspaper
accounts Of the trial. which has stirred
since the day Grant marched into that
city.
Il tell you it's mighty unpleasant for
fellow" said this blue-eyed youth, as
he sat on table in the corridor Of the
jail. idly swinging his feet, Ito want to
60 home and not be able to get out.
Why, just think Of It, my kids got a
new tooth. Have you see the baby YET? ?
There's a picture of the baby in one of
the morning papers"
"Pretty Much of a Baby"
With pride, the young father turned
to the sheet whereon was depicted a
scene on the green Of the Chesterfield
county court, Mrs. Paul Beattie holiiing
her child to be photographed.
That's pretty much OF a baby. eh ?
He's only seven months Old, and he's
got one tooth already. Isn't seven
months young to have a tooth?'
There was pride In the young father s
:, voice as he spoke Of wife and child,
and II was difficult to reconcile this
attitude of Paul Beattie's Titn some of
the unkind reports that have been pub
lished Of him. Whatever The youth may
have been in the past. 1t IS certain that
he is now a good husband and father.
The young wife's loyalty TO him since
his Imprisonment has been striking.
! Not a day has passed that she has not
visited him, arriving early in the morn
Ing and frequently bringing the bright
eyed, attractive little chap with her,
and staying the greater part Of the day.
Paurs aunt and grandmother have also
been almost daily visitors.
The real purpose of my visit to- Paul
was to find out whether the rLmOr that
he had been converted TO the Catholic
faith, and had been visited by a priest,
was true. His grandmother. a comfort
able, pleasant soul dressed in black,
and his aunt, were talking to him, and
the article containing the news had just
been shown him.
You may say for me that I'm a
Methodist, as I have always been, and
as my father and mother were before
me. My grandmother IS a Catholic,
to have me Join her church, of course,
! guess the church my father and moth
er attended is good enough for me-"
Then he turned TO the subject Of his
wife and baby. his face glowing with
pride as he eXpatiated on the baby's first

DAILY SCHEDULE OF
THRILLING EVENTS
Arrival Of the Prisoners
Breakfast Is Curtain
Raiser For Show.

Over Times Leased Wire From Ches-
terfieId Court House.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE,
Va, Aug. 5.-Chesterfield county does
not require the presence of a moving
picture show nor a circus parade to
furnish II with thrills now that the
trial Of young Henry c. Beattie. jr..
is in full swing. Every few minutes
another spectacular act Is presented
upon the stage represented by the little
country court. and the green surround
ings. The daily show is usually opened
by the arrival Of the prisoners break
fast. Curious eyes try to fathom the
contents OF the napkin-covered tray,
and look inquisitively at the huge pitch
er of coffee, and the loitere-s on the
court house green conjecture among
themselves whether the meal, consists
Of bacon and eggs or merely bacon
without the eggs.
Then comes the principal act OF the
morning, the breakfast feature being
merely the curtain raiser. This Is when
the debonnaire youth appears on the

he steps out into the sunshine, people
In the eager crowd push forward and
who is on trial for his life.
Father and Son Meet.
The next thrill furnished the morbid
throng is when the meeting between the
aged snow-haired father takes place.
The old man always embraces his son
and kisses him upon the lips. 1t is a
one-sided kiss, with no response from
the son who has been the cause of so
much parental sorrow.
After this affecting meeting is over,
and the crowd has been thrilled once
more, picturesque events crowd thick
and fast. Automobiles dash up the
dusty road discharging witnesses and
begin to get busy and the click of shut
ters is heard, as snapshot after snap
shot Is taken and rushed off to be de-
velOped. Not a morning has passed since
the day of the opening Of the trial that
Beattie has not posed at least a dozen
times for his photograph.
One of the big sensational thrills
comes when Henry Beattie's automo-
bile, the velvet-wheeled cha riot Of death,
comes Chugging up the court road. This
auto with it's stained floor and blood
enCrusted seats. sleeps at Jaiier Cog
bills home, and is driven over to the
court house early each morning by n.

It has become necessary to inclose
the car within a roped inClOsure to
keep the crowd from trooping in and
out OF II, honkinC the horn. poking at
the tires. and picking at the leather
with which the seats are covered and
to prevent relic hunters from carrying
