|BEATT|E INDICTED
SHOWS NO CONCERN

Richmond, Aug. 15.-Although
now formally indicted, charged with
wife murder, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
spent a restful night in the Henrico
county Jail at Richmond and rose
this morning to read with interest
the newspaper reports of yesterdays
proceedings at Chesterfield Court
house, where the indictment was re
turned and the trial set for Monday
next.
Beattie appeared to be not at all
surprised when told of his indict-
ment. He seemed more concerned
about the excessive heat. He slept
as soundly last night as he has at
any time during his Imprisonment.
EARLY Monday morning next Beat
tie will be taken from the Jail here
and transferred to the little red brick
prison at Chesterfield Courthouse,
where he is to be placed on trial for
his life.
Judge Walter A. Watson Will pre-
side at the trial and, unless the de-
Tense can show some legal cause for
further delay. the task of selecting
a jury will begin about 10 o'clock
Monday morning. From . venire of

Judge Gregory as missive she had
received from Henry Beattie a few
days before Mrs. Beattie was slain.
Only One Side Heard.
The proceeding in the grand jury
room were ex parte, only one side,
the prosecutions being heard. With
the grand jurors were Judge Gregory
and Attorney Wendenburg, who will
assist in the prosecution of the alleg-
ed wife slayer. The two attorneys
established a prima facae case, to
the minds of the grand jurors, by the
testimony of the few witnesses in
troduced today.
Crowds There
AS early as o'clock farm wagons
and buggies with an occasional au-
tomobile were headed for Chester
field courthouse. There was rush
at the courthouse hotel There were
more guests at breakfast than the
place has known for many a day.
Jailer Nathan Cogbin set his alarm
clock for o'clock this morning. And
he got up at that house too. He had
the few prisoners in the jail awake
and eating breakfast long before
their accustomed time. Then he gave
a last look after the cells reserved
for the prisoners from Richmond.
Newspaper correspondents repre-
senting practically all the leading
papers of the country and press as
sociations were early on hand. Many
arrangements Tor telephone and tele-
graph outfits had been left. to the
last moment.
Essential Witnesses Arrive
At 10 O'Clock a crowd of not less
than 500 people who had been quiet
ly lounging beneath the trees on the
courthouse green were thrown into
wild excitement by the appearance OF
two large touring cars. AS though
impelled by some prearranged signal,
the crowd scrambled to it's feet and
started in body toward the main
entrance to the courthouse green. In
a twinkling word had flashed across
the green that the motor cars con-
tanned two of the principal figures in
the murder case. The first. auto
mobile contained Beulah Binford, be-
comingly attired in a tailor-made
gown of navy blue. She was smil-
ing. Her cheeks were frightened by
the seventeen-mile ride in the morn
ing air.
The machines sped rapidly to the
rear of the green, the crowd follow
ing on the run. AS quickly as pos
sible the two witnesses were whisked
into the courthouse.
Gee, it's simply great to be out
in the fresh air again." said Beulah |
Binford. She eyed the crowd
But l don't like all these people. |
Will ever be able to go anywhere
IN peace AGAIN."
The witnesses who went before the |
grand jury were Paul Beattie, Thomas |
Owen, T. P. Pettigrew, DR.. Herbert |
Mercer and Beulah Binford.
1t was announced that the grand |
ury would assemble at II O'Clock
md all the nine juorrs were at the
courthouse at that hour. The pro-
.eeding in little room on the second
loor progressed swiftly.

TAFT HITS RECALL
IN VETO MESSAGE

Washington, Aug. 15.-Presiden
Taft, in a special message to tn,
House of Representatives today We
toed the joint resolution providing
Tor admission of New Mexico and
Arizona to statehood. His reason
for exercising the executive power OF
veto was based on his thorough dis.
approval of the recall-of-iudges
clause in the Arizona constitution.
The fact that New Mexico's state
hood was bound up with that of
Arizona melted out to her the Same
fate, and neither territory can coma
into the Union at this time unless
friends of the joint resolution in
Congress can muster the two-tbirds
vote necessary to pass the resolution
over the Presidents veto. This NAV
be attempted.
The Presiednt did not spare words
in condemning the recall feature Of
the Arizona constitution, which. he
said, would compel judges to make
their decisions ''under legalized ter.
rorlsm." The recall provision would
operate against all elective officers
OF Arizona, including both county
and state judges. When 25 per cent
Oh the voters of the previous cleo.
ton petitioned for a special election
70 remove an official such an cleo.
tlon would be compulsory.
Opportunity for Tyranny
This provision of the Arizona
constitution" the President saws "in
its application to county and state
judges seems to me so pernicious in
Its effect, so destructive of indepen-
dence in the judiciary, so likelv IN
subject the rights of the individual
TO tbt possible tyranny of a popular
majority, and, therefore, to be so in
furious to the cause of free govern
ment' that l must disapprove a con-
stitutlon containing it. -
Much of the message was devot-
ed to discussion of the functions
OF the courts under the Constitution
Inc PRESIDENT dwelt at considerable
length on the necessity for freeing
the Judiciary as much as possible |
from politics or popular influence.
And referring to the recall provision
he asks:
Gould there be a system more
lngenlously devised to subject Judges
to momentary gusts of popular mas.
sion than this?"
The message was received with
great interest by the House, largely
because OF the Presidents long as
with the judiciary.

Farmer JOHN WANTS
farmer LEGISLATOR
Thinks One of County's Residents
Should Go To Richmond


Should Go To Richmond
The Farmers Institute was a sue
cess in every way, not only in large
attendance but also in the number
of able men who addressed the meet
ings. The sessions were all inter-
esting and instructive. The exceed
ingly generous manenr in which the
body was entertained by the COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
will, no doubt, cause the members of
the Institute to wish to come again
to our mountain city, and we hope
will bring to the attention of other
bodies the many advantages of Staun-
ton as meeting place for conven-
tiOns.
In his address, the president, Mr..
Westmoreland Davis, said one rea-
son farmers received so little from
the Legislature was the counties usu-
ally sent as representatives men liv-
ing in towns, and they were always
under the influence of the "bosses."
This almost looked like he had re-
ference to our local political situa-
ton for it is certain that all three
nominees of the Democratic primary
are living in the two largest towns in
the county, Staunton and Waynes-
boro. Mr.Davis perhaps didn't know
this. and had no intention of refer
ring to our local affairs any way. On
the following day the dry indie
pendents met to select their Legisla-
tive candidates, and had a good
chance to take hint from Mr.. Davis
remarks in this connection. But
enough the three men
named by them are residents of the
same towns as the Democratic prim-
ary nominees. The candidates put |
forward by the "drys" are gentle |
men of well known character, and if |
elected to the general assembly will |

WANT STANDARD BARREL

From the Charlottesville Progress:
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted on Saturday by the
North Garden Farmers Club.
Resolved, That we approve of the
effort that is to be made to induce
Congress in December to pass law
providing for standard sized apple
barrel for the whole of the U. S., AMI
that in the meantime we urge all Vir-
ginia growers to use the N. Y. stand
ard barrel so that our Virginia apples
may go upon the market, not only
as the highest in quality but in the
largest sized packages recognized by
the State as the standard.

| Beattie's Picture Everywhere
The walls of Beulah Binford's cell
bear mute but positive evidence that
1.-The other woman" in the Beattie
murder case has lost none of her af-
lection for Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.
Forty-four pictures of Beattie are
pasted on the walls. Nearly all are
alike, being newspaper reprints of
Beattie's face. Look where she
will, save out the window, and at
ceiling the visage confronts her of
the man for whom = she said she
would willingly go the electric chair
if she only could.
Knowing that her love of Beattie
still burns the prosecution will
handle her pretty carefully when she
is on the stand. She could not, of
course, volunteer evidence, but care
will be exercised to enter on no
themes which might afford on cross
examination, the astute H. M. Smith
opportunity to start a willing wit
ness in defense of the prisoner.
Beulah Binford enjoyed herself at
Chesterfield county courthouse, ex-
cept for the few minutes when the
heat made her feel a little faint.
