c0MPL AIN GF VANDALISM TO
 AUTHORITIES
Boys Seeking to Hook College Flags Badly Damaged
 Automobiles

Complaint was lodged with the police today by automobilists whose machines were badly damaged while speeding along Connecticut avenue, Saturday, on the way home from the "a e. Princeton game.
 A crowd of boys laid in wait for the machines to "hook'' the college flags from the autos as they passed by For this purpose the boys reached out with long hooked sticks. The resul, was disastrous to the cars.
 In one case, a glass wind shield was smashed and the flying glass shattered about the inmates of the car, badly frightening them but fortunately 0o- ing no worse damage. In other cases where the hook missed the pennants the stick dug a deep welt into the highly veneered car body, running the appearance of tf@e car on that side and entailing h. wy expense for re- painting.
 The police also learned that the 12:3( freight train which passed through this city Sunday night contained g miscreant who stoned a number O houses along Railroad avenue while the train was passing, and smashed g dozen windows.
 One of the sufferers was Packey Bowling, who lost a $30 plate glass window through this source

GRIM
 DEATH CHAIR
 FOR BEATTIE

Richmond, Va, Nov. 21.-The mod ern "iron maiden" whose embrace will crush out the life of Henry Clay Beattie, IT,, three days hence, tested day.
 While the doomed murderer knelt quietly in the innermost corner of his cell and called to him the 'consola- ton of religion" which his spiritual advisers say he is trying to accept, the busy overall garbed state electri- clans examined the grim death chair. Every wide electrode and strap was tested, to make ready for the gloomy ceremony that will attend the pun ishment of Beattie for the murder of his wife, in the gray dawn of Friday turned into the chair and the big testing lights showed the chair well prepared for its grim duty.
 No word came from the death cell where Beattie whiled away the fleet ing hours of his third last day on earth. The Rev. J. J. Fox and the Rev. Benjamin Denis spent several hours with the condemned man, pray ing and exhorting him. Neither minister would diScuss the attitude of Beattie or the possibility of his con- fessing before he is led, blindfolded, to the chair.
 A shadow of the same jauntiness with which Beattie faced his trial and conviction hovers about him in hi5 last fight but 1t is only a shadow His cigarette, outward mark of the debonair youth who smiled at court and law, is still with him but it has lost the devil-ma3 -care tilt of a month ago. The seriousness of i'm pending death has finally touched Beattie and prayer is his refuge.
 The prisoner is alone in Murderers' Row. He occupies a cell near the death chamber and, when the death warrant is read to him, will have to walk scarcely 30 paces from his cell door to the chair. The death cham Der will be in total darkness, save for the white rays from an arclight, so arranged as to focus directly on the chair and it's occupant. As a re- suit of this arrangement, it is i'm : possible for the prisoner to see the executioner or the witnesses.
 Despite the vigilance of the author ities in seeking to prevent any news from the death cell reaching the press, it became known that Beattie is much nearer a physical and men tai collapse than has been generally known. It was stated that Beattie has written letter to his former pal, "Rilly' Sampson, and, while not making any actual confession of the murder, the writer warns his friend of the dangers of the loose life he admits having led.

U. S. TROOPS READY.

Washington, Nov. 21-It became known here, today. that upon the ac- tion of Yuan Shi Kai hinges the ques- tion of whether the United States will resort to military occupation of China.
 The policy of Yuan, as practical dic- tator, is being watched most care fully and every attempt is being made to learn what are his plans for restoring the government Should Yuan advocate measures calculated to inflame the populace. United States soldiers will start immediately from Manila, where the transport Sherman awaits orders with steam up.
 So complete has been the exchange of views among the powers regarding the Chinese situation that the United States government is confident no military movement will be begun by one nation without sthe co-operat ton and consent of all others. The atti- tude of the state department indicates that Secretary Knox is in possession of denials of the serious aspect of re- ported Japanese-Russian movements.
