r. BECKHAM KILLED
 IN FRIENDLY BOUT

 ing Scuffle

As a result of friendly scuffle. Fyederick Beekham, familiarly known as Doe" Beckham, 2S. electrician at the Jefferson theatre, is dead, and Smith Batchlor is in the city jail charged with murder. According 10 eye witnesses the men engaged in a friendly scuffle in the alley behind the Jefferson theatre at S:S0 o'clock last night. during which Beckham slipped and fell upon the brick paw ing and sustained injuries from which he died while elf route to the Hillman hospital.
 There were several eye witnesses to the scene, all of whom declare that the scuffle started in a friendly man ner and that no hard words passed between the two men tat any time. When Beckham failed to arise from the paving the spectators ran to his assistance and tried to revive han, but were unsuccessful. He was then placed in an automobile and carried to the Hillman hospital by Louis Parks and Lee Noa.
 Beckham was dead when they reached the hospital, and an exami- nation of the body there revealed a large bruised spot on the top of lis head. This is supposed to have been caused by his fall upon the brick paving.
 Lee Noa, an eye witness. made the following statement about the affair:
 q have known both of the men for quite a while and am sure that they have always been friends. I sincerely believe that the affair was purely accidental, as no harsh words passed between the men,
 q was standing within six feet of the two when the scuffle started. It had not lasted over a minute or so when I saw Beckham rall upon the paving. We rusned to him, but loth- ing we could do would revive him. Louis Parks and myself took him to a car o..J carried him to the Hillman hospital. but he was dead when we reached there."
 Batchlor gave himself up to De- tectives c. M. Bragan and A. M. Div ems. who placed him in the city jail charged with murder. Coroner Rus sum will hold an inquest this morn ing at o'clock

 That The Age Herald manager is a woman they were particularly de- i lighted with; and took occasion to thank the paper for the amount of publicity it gave them upon the oc- casion of their removal to their new home in the Forbes building, where they maintain club and lunch rooms.
 The organization has more than 1000 members and the visit to The Age Herald was in connection with study classes the club is maintaining called Know Your City"
 It was the first time that most of the group had ever seen the issuing of any paper.
 "Do you think you know how to get out newspaper new?' queried a bystander.
 Every bit of it." laughed little girl. She gave a cute little feminine sigh as she entered the mail room and saw how the labels with name and address of subscribers are past ed on.
 "In die happy, now" she ex- claimed. T can understand how they stick the labels some time right on the face of a cartoon. They actually work so fast in @ newspaper office they don't have time to look whether they paste q lady on the nose or not" And isn't it all a pretty sight?" This from young woman who was watch ing the cylinders of the presses as they went rolling smoothly over against the ink rolls.
 "Of course, it's always exciting to get the news wspaper-Ive always felt that" unused one of the visitors. But it's far more exciting to live around where they make one. Why, I'd never care whether l ever got to go to a circus again if l could work in newspaper office. The air is always surcharged with something going on every minute. l don't imagine any body ever gets lonesome"
 Among those in the group were these, all of whom received a press ing invitation to come back again. and to let The Age Herald know any time any of it's departments could serve them in any way:

 It requested that the city commits sion caAI upon all of the civic bodies of the city to appoint one man from each of the civic organizations to confer with the commission on the matter of the plans as set forth by the legion resolution.
 The resolution incorporated a club house for the legion.
 After a lengthy discussion by va rious members of the legion it was decided to refer the matter to q committee, which was appointed to go into the resolution more thorough ly and bring it to the attention of the legion at some future meeting.
 resolution was also passed to the effect that the legion regretted the fact that automobiles had not been provided for the members of the c. A. R., in the Armistice Day parade, necessitating other transportation being provided for the veterans.
 Brief reports relative to the Ie- zion convention were read by sev- eral of the delegates
 meeting of the womens auxil- liary was held at the same time in the ladies parlor of the Hillman ho- tel on the mezzanine floor. It has been urged that all of the relatives entitled to join the auxiliary be nos tified of the work being done by the organization for the eX-service men, and that an effort be made to in crease the organization as rapidly as possible.

 These and q thousand other express sions were among those the crowd murmured. They saw the big type and the little type; they watched the forms in the printing office being locked; they watched the stereotyp- ing of Q page of The Age Herald and they met everybody on the paper who happened to be at work.
