'Papa Hit My Mamma Lots'
Says Tiny Margaret Beutinger
Last Week He Hurt Her Eye So Much It's All Black
Yet" She Chatters-Sayer of Husband
Weeps in Jail.

of God and man justify me in my
action"
She declared that when she had
bought the revolver with which she
shot her husband her only purpose
was TO threaten him with it when his
cruelty became unendurable.
"When my husband came into my
room on Tuesday morning he had the
appearance Of fiend," she said. "He
had been abusing me terribly for days,
beating me with a tennis racket, try
ing TO gouge out my eyes. and dislo-
eating a knuckle of my hand When
he entered he sat down by the bed.
took hold of my arm and began to
curse lie struggled with me and then
he struck me. Then ! took my revol-
yer out from Under my pillow and
shot him"
The FIVE children were the innocent
cause of the tragedy In April, 1915,
Mrs. Beutinger had separated from her
husband because Of his cruelty, she
said, and she consented to a remar-
riage only because she thought it
might be better for the children. Her
friends had all advised her against the
step, she SAID.
Mrs. Eugene Graf, the housekeeper
and the wife Of the gardener at the
Beutinger nome, declared Mrs. Beutin-
ger had been "a saint on earth"
Always the Blameless One.
"She always tried to smooth things
over, no matter how much she had to
put up with" she said, breaking down
and crying. "The only thing she
wanted was 10 make happy home for
the children. He was the kind of a
man that amt happy unless he's kick
ing about something. 1t was nothing
but drink and swear and grumble the
moment he put his foot inside the
door. lie was great big six-footer,
and il made me mad TO see him bully
ing that little bit of a woman that
weighs just hundred pounds"
The Beutinger fortune is estimated
at 100000. a large share of it in the
wifes name. Mrs. Beutinger was born
in Eastbourne, a London suburb. and
her husband was Of German extraction.
She married him in Manila, where he
was sergeant in the United States
Army
A witness for the defence will be
DR.. +. S. Ives, OF Little Falls. who has
treated Mrs. Beutinger for injuries
said TO have been inflicted by her hus-
band. A few days before the tragedy
occurred. Mrs. Beutinger visited At
torney Brandley. with view to obtain
ing another separation. declaring that
she was afraid to live with her husband
longer. Last Saturday he sent two
plainclothes men to her home to pro-
tect her.

Leaders to Meet Soon to
Plan National Convention,
Says cambridge Colby.
PARKER SUGGESTS
AUGUST 5 AS DATE
Ready to Surrender His Place
for Stronger Man-Perkins Seen
as a Hop O. My Thumb"

A conference Of Progressive leaders,
dissatisfied with the Endorsement Of
former Justice Hughes by the ma
tional committee, will be held soon TO
determine whether to hold another
national convention to place Progress
sive candidates in the field. Announce
ment Of this was made yesterday by
Bainbridge Colby. He also made pub
lie a letter from John NJ. Parker, the
Progressive candidate for Vice-Pres-
ident, favoring the plan.
Mr.. Parker in his letter says that
he is confident that an earnest appeal
to the Moose Of the country would re-
suit in state conventions which would
send delegates to put up a complete
ticket.
In commenting on the letter yes
terday and also on his own plans Mr..
Colby said that in his opinion a ma
jority Of the Progressives would turn
to President Wilson if unable to sup
port a candidate Of their own.
August 5, Convention Date.
The new convention, Mr.. Parker sug-
gests, should be held August 8, the
anniversary of the birth Of the Pro-
gressive party, "to demonstrate to the
political bosses our distrust and TO the
people of the nation our determination
to continue the fight for those prin-
ciples which we have so strongly ad-
vocated."
Mr.. Colby calls Mr.. Perkins and Mr..
Finn "Hop-o'- committee
men," Mr.. Parker's letter follows:
my dear Colby: From the letters
received by me from almost every
state in the Union. am satisfied the
revolt against the star chamber pro-
ceedings and steam roller is greater
than even the most optimistic Of US
ever felt it would be. There is an un-
dercurrent of extreme bitterness at
the deliberate manner in which the
Progressive party was sacrihceo by
men who were anxious TO again turn
the nation over TO that same Repub-
lican machine which had control for
years, and brought about overwhelming
defeat in 1912.
"An enormous number Of voters
will never submit to such treatment,
and I believe that when We consider
the millions Of men who will vote
this year for the first time, and the
millions of wage earners who are deep
ly interested in and believe in the re-
forms and betterment for the people,
for which we have steadfastly stood,
that If we can succeed in calling a
new convention, preferably on August
s. the anniversary Of the birth of the
Progressive party, TO demonstrate 10
the political bosses our distrust, and

OFFER JUNKET
TO WIN CONGRESS
Water Power Interests to
Take Committee or
Niagara Trip.
From Tho Tnbune Bureau

Washington, July IA trip to
Niagara Falls, with all expenses paid,
has been arranged for thirteen mem
bers Of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee by the Buffalo Chamber Of Com
merce, which is anxious for q grant OF
rights to use additional power at the
falls to a big water power company.
Incidentally, the water power company
is q member of the Chamber Of Com
merce.
The party pulled out of Union Sta
tion to-day with all the earmarks Of
the oldtime junket. Special cars were
provided; wives Of members were well
coined; even newspapermen were asked,
while the House parliamentarian, Ben
net Clark, son of the Speaker, accepted.
When Representative Smith, Of Buff
falo, who acted for the Chamber Of
Commerce in organizing the party, was
asked to-day whether the water power
people are not members Of the Chamber
of Commerce, he said: "Yes, they are,
but this committee is being taken to
the Falls in order that each member
may become thoroughly familiar with
the situation there. There is a power
famine in Buffalo. The Buffalo Cham
Der Of Commerce is paying the ex-
penses of this trip for the committee
in order that there may be better un-
derstanding of the situation in Niagara
Falls"
One Of the most prominent members
OF the Foreign Affairs Committee, who
refused to be a member Of the jun
keting party, said tonight: There is
no doubt this trip is being paid for by
the interests who want to get votes
for the bill 10 increase the supply OF
cheap power for the power companies
at Niagara Falls. 1t is the old, old
system Of obligating members of Con-
gress to parties who have an axe to
grind"
The committeeman was told that
Representative Spith had said one Of
the objects in taking the committee
to Niagara Falls is to ascertain wheth-
er the power plants are equipped witn
modern machinery.
what member is competent to judge
that" he asked. THAT can only be
determined by the best engineers in
the country, who cannot be 'inhu-
enccd' Their testimony could be as
we'll taken in Washington as In Nj
agara Falls. This is pleasure trip,
pure and simple"

HUGHES WOMEN
WANT NO HYPHEN
Committee to Make Ma
tion-Wide Fight for
the Ex-JuStice.

The hyphen was barred from the
women's National Committee Of the
Hughes Alliance yesterday. The execu-
tive committee OF the women's organ
ization met 90 organize. and one Of the
first things il did was 10 adopt the con-
s;itution Of the Hughes Alliance. which
provides that "no local. branch or aux
iliary organization Of the Woman's Ma
tional Committee Of the Hughes ALI
nnce shall be known or designated as
representing citizens Of any particular
foreign extraction
Those at the meeting yesterday were
Miss Frances Kellor, Mrs. Clifford
Pinehot. Mrs. Bernard Ridder, DR..
Katharine Il. Davis. Miss Mary Antin
and Mrs. Romans. AmericsOism will
be the keynote Of the women. and IL is
their intention 20 preach II 20 support
Mr. Hughes from one end Of the coun-
Try 20 the other. One OF the organ
izers OF the committee started for the
Pacific Coast last night 10 begin the
work.
The committee decided TO take no
part in local or state fights. Their
whole interest will be in the national
ticket. and any effort to have the
women take sides for other candidates
will be promptly squelched. A cam
paign committee Of 1000 will be formed
as soon IS the names can be gathered.
This will be representative OF every
state. Then the big drive for a mem
bership Of 100. 900 and q campaign fund
Of 100000 will begin.
Mere man will not be asked 70 con
tribute 90 this. The women are going
10 run their end Of the campaign them
selves. The work will be confined
largely 20 the suffrage states. although
not entirely so.

Abraham BeiIman, nat manufac-

yesterday a summons against the Corn
Exchange Bank for $4,000 which he
alleges Miss Gussie Tarnower deposited
there March 10, 1916, and to which he

so and was refused by her, the deposit
was to become his property. The hat
