Millionaire Accused of Try,
ing to Kill His Wife
MYSTERIOUS ATTACK
AT Time Mrs. Beach Was Said to Have
Been Attacked by Negro, But
Later Husband Was Charged
With Crime a Year Ago

Aiken, S. c.. February 2-FredericI1 o.
placed on trial here in the court of genor-
al sessions Tuesday, charged with as
saulting his wife with intent to kill.
The hearing Tuesday is the sequel 10
a mysterious attack on Mrs Beach on the
lawn of the handsome Beach residence
here February 26. 1912. In addition to be-
ing badly bruised, the milionaire's wife
sustained a serious cut on the throat
Immediately after the assault it was
announced that Mrs. Beach had been at
tackled by negro It was stated that
she was in the act of taking a note from
negro, to be delivered to one of the
Beach servants, when her injuries were
inflicted.
Great excitement followed the announce
pent and rewards aggregating several
thousand dollars were offered for the APP
prehension of her mysterious assailant.
Detectives were put on the case and con-
sternation was caused in the winter col
ony here as we'll as in New York city by
the issuance OF a warrant for the arrest
of F. o. Beach, charging him with the
attack.
Mr. and Mrs. Beach sailed for Europe
and bonds for the appearance of the for
mer were made here by wealthy friends.
Some expressed the opinion that Mr..
Beach never would be arraigned In court.
All doubt, however, was ended last week
by the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs. Beach, ac-
companied by Mrs. j. B. Taylor, New
York. sister of Mrs. Beach, and counsel.
Pearl Hampton, negro woman who
was said to have witnessed the attack on
Mrs. Beach, and detective employed by
the town of Aiken to investigate the
case, probably will be the states wit
nesses in chief.
1t is understood that Mrs. Beach will
take the stand and will reiterate the story
of the attack made public just after she
was injured.

Today and Ton1orrowo of Home Rule
BY II. l. MONKS

limitations OF two years began to run on
april IL, 1912, and will expire on April IL,
1911 Within these two years the home
rule bill must pass the house of commons
three times and be rejected by the house
OF lords three times. The bill passed the
| mouse of commons on January 49, 1918,
and was rejected by the house of lords
January 80. This was round number one
in both houses. About the middle Of
March, or perhaps sooner the bill will
again pass the commons and be sent to
the lords. IL the lords reject it nothing
further can be done until the term of
parliament which will begin in February
1914 when the commons will pass the bill
for the third time. 1t then goes to the
lords for the third and last time. and If
they reject it the bill will be presented
to the king and when signed becomes law
As there will be many things to do pre-
ceding the actual setting up of govern
ment In Ireland, the day on which the act
goes into operation Cxnown in parliament
tary language 'the appointed
day'D has been fixed as "the first
Tuesday in the eighth month from the
month in which the act was passed." and
to meet in Dublin not later than four
months after the appointed day. and
the day for holding the elections for
members to the Irish parliament shall be
fixed within these four months. From all
this 1t will be seen that If the full time
allowed be used. then the bill will go into
operation in the eighth month after April
12 1914, which will be December, 1914, and
four months thereafter. April, 1915 Cd. w
the Irish parliament will be opened. and
probably by King George himself.

HOBO CONVENTION
COMES TO AN END
Davis Declares Organization
Wrecked on Rocks of So
cialism and Is No More

New Orleans, February 1.-The ma
tionaI hobo convention came to an end
today, and according to official announce
ment made by President Jefferson Davis
the hoboes' organization which James
Eads How founded in st. Louis eight
years ago, has been wrecked on the rocks
of socialism and is thing of the past
Davis declared the attempt to hold
national convention in New Orleans has
proved a fiat failure, which he attri-
buted to the efforts of millionaire" How
and others to use the hoboes for the
dissemination of socialistic propaganda
Davis entertained motion suggested
by himself today and declared that hobo
organization disbanded. How kept up
his wrangling about politics and religion
to the very last, but the hoboes We're
charmed by the vociferous and peculiarly
magnetic utterances of jeff Davis and
never failed to join with the president
in helping to howl down How and his
cohorts.
1t is probable that How and Davis
will organize separate associations of mi
rratory workers. but Davis declares he
does not want Hows followers in his
camp.
"A hobo. is not a barrel house bum,
a mere tramp nor yeggman, said
Davis He is simply a workman out of
employment. who, during the exigencies
of his peregrinations Is compelled to ride
freight trains, go hungry and occasion
ally has to seek lowly employment in or
der to get a bite and bunk"
Today delegate proposed that the ho-
hoes petition Congress to stop bulls
from sapping bo's who are merely trying
~ ride a freight train" In plain English
he wanted Congress to prohibit railroad
detectives from interfering with hoboes
who are caught beating their way on
freight trains. The resolution was turned
down.
The vagrancy laws of Georgia, Florida
and Texas were again bitterly criticised
today by several of the hoboes One
delegate declared he believed one-half
of the men of Georgia are acting as
deputy sheriffs, in order to get little
graft of 81 for each hobo picked up on
vagrancy charge. Oklahoma. he says
only pays so cents a head, and conse-
uuently hoboes are not bothered there as
they are in Georgia.
inspector of Police James w. Reynolds
tonight advised the hoboes to clear out
of the city before morning or they would
have to stay in the parish prison until
after the Mardi Gras visitors nave de-
parted.
At the conclusion of a lengthy secre
session of the leading supporters of the
hobo convention, 1t was announced to-
night that plans had been perfected fol
organizing hobo unions and afriliatinl
with the American Federation OF Labor
The name of the new organization of th'
hoboes is 1.-The International ltineran
workers Union. Hoboes of America.

Harry Jones, the grizzled veteran OF
innumerable campaigns of laborious traV-
cling on Alabama railroads in his sue
cessful pursuit of orders for Moore and
Handley's brand of hardware. in speak
ing on The art of salesmanship, yes
terday said:
Everyone is salesman, but everyone
does not understand the principles OF
salesmanship or If they do they fail to
practice them. The principles of sales
manship are comprised In my opinion,
of influencing favorably and not lln-
fairly the human mind.
1T is a salesman's business TO change
minds, to overcome prejudiees, to break
down bad customs. soften stubbornness
and let the light of reason into dark
places What is more to be desired than
the ability to influence the minds of
men and TO change them for the mutual
good of the buyer and the seller? Emer-
son said He is great man who can
alter my state of mind He may have
been thinking Of statesmen when he said
that
"And isn't life in general pretty much
a matter of making other people feel as
you do about something or other? About
yourself primarily? How great and pros
porous we should all be IL only we
could bring the world to feel about us
as we feel about ourselves2
"Salesmanship is a science, and it is
also an art There is a certain fund
of knowledge relating to the profession
of salesmanship and a certain amount OIL
principles by which the salesman, con-
sciously or unconsciously, works, which
amounts TO science. Between the
science of salesmanship and the art of
selling there is much the same difference
as between studying law in a university
and practicing in a court.
"A great many men who understand the
principles of scientific salesmanship are
not successful statesmen. They fall short
in the application--in the practice. There
are a great many people who can see IN
their minds beautiful pictures and who
understand pretty well the principles on
which rest the painters art, who can
never paint pictures. They lack the
skill of perfect application of abstract
principles to concrete work, which alone
results in true art. For art is doing as
opposed to knowing. 1t is the same or
mans accomplishment in any line OF
activity whether 1t be selling goods or
painting pictures.
But craftsmanship is something more
than science or an art-1t Is pfin-
cipe--a principle of human relationship.
II is the principle of the influence OF
one person on another. 1t is funoa-
mental principle and It is universal IN
