wash them in bran water or in a

color, but will get out dirt quite as
well as soap.
To make the bran water. allow
one pound of bran for every gal

a bag, nut into the water when
cold and simmer gently for nearly
AN hour. Wash the curtains in
this, and rinse in cold water TO

vent it from running. Wiring and

Here is another method of
washing tapestry curtains. Allow
one gill of oxgall to each gallon
of water, wash the curtains in this,

GRAND JURY WILL
 IND|CT bEATT|E Beattie Declares That He Is Guiltless of the Charge WERE NO WITNESSES
Commonwealth Must Build up the Case Largely on Circumstantial Evidence-Grand Jury Will
 Hear Three Witnesses

Richmond Va. August 1S--A grand jury of virginians will assemble tomor- row morning at the picturesque and his- toric Chesterfield courthouse to return an indictment charging wife murder against Htnry Clay Beattie, Jr, the 2s-year-old .F~a ,i ST 7G' 'a~,s.t. .,l5s Fs'aa:lfs s-.
 G'ieal c,it and well bred, Beatiie denies the charge. Beattie says that while motoring with his young wife on the night Of July IS. strange bearded mar fired from the roadway. killing her at his side. The prosecution holds that Bsattie himself fired the shot. There have been found no witnesses to the death of the young woman besides Beattie himself and the commonwealth must build up It's case largely on circunstantial evidence.
 The proceedings tomorrow will be pure fly perfuneiory for coroner's jury has already held the young man guilty and for more than three weeks he has been in jail in Richmond pending the formal lty of indictment and the setting of a date for his trial. Just what date will be fixed is problematical but 1t probably will begin within a week. Once begun it Is predicted that verdict will be rem dered within a week or 10 days.
 Few witnesses-possibly only three-will be heard by the grand jury. Beulah Bin ford, the pretty 1T-year-old girl, for the love of whom the commonwealth will charge Beattie killed his bride of less than a year, will not be called. nor will the defendant be present. Paul Beattie. the cousin, will be the chief witness and the others who probably will testify be- fore the grand jury are persons who were present when Beattie, bloodstained and excited, brought his wifes lifeless body beside him in the automobile to the resi- dence of Thomas Owen, her uncle.
 Paul Beattie testified at the inquest that only a few days before Mrs. Beattie's 8 death he purchased for Henry. at Henry S request, a single -barrelled shotgun, to- gether with shells. Beattie himself says that the bearded highwayman used a single -barreled gun and just such a weapr on was found not far from the scene of the crime.
 F. M Smith, a criminal lawyer with more than local fame, will defend the youthful prisoner and Henry Clay Beattie. Sr, the venerable father of the accused, says he will stand by his boy to the end. Because of the prominence of both families, that of Beattie and his mur- dered wife, the case has attracted un- usual attention throughout Virginia and hundreds of persons will swarm to the tiny courthouse Judge Walter A. Wat son of the Chesterfield circuit court will preside.
 Beattie spent a quiet morning in his cell and during the afternoon listened to the singing of an Episcopal choir which visited the jail.

 The luncheon was a strictly private affair. Three Japanese photographers motored from New York in taxicah to get a picture of Colonel Roosevelt and Admiral Togo together for use in Japanese papers.

TeIegraphers Threaten
Strike on Southern

More money, shorter hours, and better
working conditions are demanded by a
grievance committee representing the
Southern railway telegraphers, who are
in conference with officials of the road
in this city To-Day.
The men say that unless the COM
pany grants these things a general
strike will be called within the next few
weeks. The telegraphers, according to
H. G, Alexander, chairman of the CON-
nlittee, have not been satisfied with con-
ditions following the arbitration of diff
ferenceS about a year ago. They take
the ground that they gained practically
nothing by submitting their grievances
for arbitration, and assert that they will
agree to no such proposition this time.
Conferences with officials of the road
will be held again tomorrow and Satur-
day.
Those on the committee are II. G..
Alexander, Charlotte, n. c., chairman;
H, L. Allen, Atlanta, Ga; o. r. Doyle.
Calhoun, S. c.; T. w. Cox, Belle Ellen,

have positive instructions not 10 submit
the differences to arbitration. If Presi-
dent Finley and other officials OF ne
road refuse to grant what they ask, Il
is said that there will be no other re-
course for the telegraphers but to strike
