OF BEATTIE AFFAIR
Father of Murdered Woman
Talks of Beattie's
Unnamed Baby

Dover, Del, Nov. 24.-The execution
today of Henry Clay Beattie, ir found
the Owen family going about their
usual routine as though no tragedy had
ever entered their quiet lives.
i thank you for the news" said r.
V. owen, the father of Beattie's muir
dered wife, "but have nothing to
say"
Mr. owen explained that since the
murder Of his daughter none Of the
members of the family has had any
thing to say about the affair. We
have not and viii not discuss the affair
outside the family circle he said. But
he would talk about the baby the six
months old son, now an orphan. MY
wife" he said, was naturally much
wrought up after the death of our
daughter, and our doctor told US it
would be better for her to care for the
child and relieve her mind. We brought
the baby to Dover and it is now with
US. We viii keep it and raise it,"
Mr.. owen said the infant had not
been given q name. We call him
Baby he said "The question OF
naming him has not been discussed by
the family. You see. we have been in
this tangle for the last few months,
and no one has talked about the baby's
name.
THE child will be given the loving
care of its grandmother. She is con-
cerned that some day the child may
be told about the tragic fate Of its par

must do the best we can for the little
one"

would have freed him. Beattie was

Shows Wonderful Nerve.
The sustained nerve of the con

the pathetic fareWells between himself
and the members Of his family in which
he broke down completely, he dis
closed such a quick and complete re-

The crime for which Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr. was executed today was
one Of the most sensational in the
in the murder was country wide owing
TO its unusual features and the swift
movement of justice.
On the night of July 10, last, Beat

his wife which had a gaping shot
gun wound in the head. He declared
that a tall bearded man had accosted
him on the Midlothian turnpike, five
miles from Richmond, and when he
had requested the man to make room
for him in the road the stranger with
out warning had fired the shot which
killed Mrs. Beattie. He added that he
had grappled with the man but was
overpOwered and that the murderer
had fled leaving the gun behind. The
story of the crime was maintained by

WISCONSIN RIVER is HIGHER
Heavy Rains Send Stream Up to New

Observation-Disclosures two days
of heavy rainfall, the water in the
Wisconsin river above and below this
city has risen to height never be-
fore experienced The swiftness of
the current below the King dam,
which was completed last year, pre-
vented motor boats from approaching
the marine railway which affords
portage to the upper river. A dirt
dixie, which acts as a bulwark to a
portion of the dam is insecure, and
unless the water recedes may go out.
Should the water rise another two
feet, it would probably change the
course of the river, and if the force
of the current be directed to the
south, nothing could prevent the
river from flooding the swamps to
the southwest of Tomahawk, and
threatening the eastern portion of the
residence district.

RULING IN INCOME TAX CASE
State Must Authorize Any Action to
Restrain Enforcement of Act,
Declares Court.

Madison.-Judge E. Ray Stevens of
the Dane county circuit court has sus-
tanned demurrer to the complaint in
the case of Arthur Winding, Fred Ge-
zelschap, the Wisconsin Trust COM
pany, Milwaukee, and Edwin F. Brown,
against Secretary of State Frear,
State Treasurer Dahl and members
of the state income tax commission,
praying that the defendants be re-
strained from enforcing the income
tax law or paying any claims that
may be incurred under the terms of
the act.
Judge Stevens sustained the con-
tentions of the defendants that the
court has no jurisdiction over the
defendants or the subject of this &C
ton, that the action is in substance
and effect against the state of Wis
consin, but that the consent of the
state to be sued has never been given.
The court gave the plaintiffs twenty
days to file an amended complaint.
