FATHER MAKES FOUR
CHILDREN ORPHANS

PASADENA, Calf, Aug. 10.-W. II.
Beam, railroad man Of Carnegie, Pa,
who arrived here yesterday morning
with his wife and four children to visit
relatives, shot and killed his wife,
Axine, at clock this morning while
the two were in the bathroom, ana
then slashed his own wrist and throat,
dying almost instantly. The Beams
were here on his leave of absence, visit
ing w. g. Warren of this city. Mrs.
Beam was a sister of Mrs. Warren.
Further than to state that Beam had
been heard, frequently, to threaten the
life of his wife, the Warrens are I'M
able to attribute any cause for the aw-
full deed of the husband and father.
Several notes were found, following
Beam s death in which he accused his
wife of being unfaithful to him, des-
pite his alleged efforts to try and keep
her love and loyalty. Crossing Arizona,
on their recent trip to Pasadena, Beam
states in one note, Mrs. Beam created
scene in the train by declaring 81
am through with you forever. All /
ask of you is that you provide for the
children
For these reasons, Beam concludes,
he deliberately prepared for the dual
death and asked that both be cremated
together. His love of her to the end is
expressed in passionate terms.

START FIREWORKS

William Richardson and Hiram w.
johnson had the center of the political
stage in California today.
Richardson, addressing meeting OF
editors supporting him for the republican
nomination for governor, outlined his
platform, largely based on economy,
and attacked vigorously the admins
tration of Governor Stephens.
Senator Johnson, opposing Charles c.
Moore for the republican nomination
for the senate, announced that tonight
he would tell "plain truths to "my
home folks' in his first address of the
campaign in San Francisco.
81 have some very plain truths to
tell the people of San Francisco about
tne campaign of villification of the OPP
position,' Johnson announced.
The senator has been accused by
Moore s supporters of failing to answer
attacks made upon him. Political OBJ
servers took Johnson S announcement
to mean he would attempt to meet these
accusations tonight
Richardson s address was his first
major public attack upon Governor
Stephens.
He charged the governor had built up
a powerful and extravagant organiza-
tion which would not permit of econ
omy in state affairs because "the
great, greedy, extravagant political
machine needed the jobs and the people
could pay the bill.
=" will kick out of power the present
political wrecking gang and put q con
atruction crew on the job, - he declared

DUBLIN, Aug. 10.-Rebels were
driven from Cork in the biggest battle
of the Irish rebellion, it was reporte ed

The city was attacked by thousands
of Free State troops who rushed from
Dublin to Cork by water.
The Free State troops disembarked
in small boats three miles from Cork,

hand by their seizure of cable lines be
tween England and the United States.
The trip from Dublin was so hazard

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 10.-Gen-
eral strike of the powerful Big -Four

than 100000 men was threatened here
today.
The brotherhoods, their officers make
it plain, will join the striking shopmen
i'm n svmpathetic walkOut for the fol-
lowing reasons:
Threats made against the lives of
their members by guards on duty at
the railroad centers.
Danger of loss of life due to handling
defective equipment caused by inab1l-
ity of roads to employ sufficient forces
to maintain rolling stock in good con-
dition.
Following the sanctioned strike of
1000 members of the Big Four broth
erhoods employed by the Elgin, Joliet
and Eastern railroad, comes orders is
sued by the brotherhood chiefs to the
employees of the yards of the Rock
Island railroad to stay out of the
trouble zone at Joliet where state mil
itiapen are on duty.
This order virtually means that many
employees of the Rock Island win stop
working.
The situation on the Illinois Central
railroad, one of the largest i'll NJ coun-
try grew serious today. Leaders or
the employees of the carrier notified
brotherhood chiefs here that they had
been served with the following ulti-
matum by striking miners:
"Stop carrying nonunion coal or
take the consequences.
Immediately upon receipt of the mes
sage the brotherhood leaders got in
touch with their representatives in Chi
cago Whether or not a strike will be
authorized at once could not be learned.
The nation would see an unparalleled
paralysis of industry in case the broth

and trainmen, joined the 100000 shop
men in the strike.

WOMAN'S SCREAMS
HALT KU KLUX TRAIL
JUDGE HAS ROOM
CLEARED AS LOUD
LAUGHTER BREAKS
United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug. To-
Disruption of proceedings in the trial
of 81 alleged members of the Ku Klux
Klan was precipitated today by laugh
ter and disturbances among courtroom
spectators.
Judge Houser, following a prolonged
burst of laughter, ordered the court
room cleared, and in the scene that fol
lowed contempt proceedings loomed as
attorneys for both sides protested in
terruptions.
The most sensational event Of the
day occurred when q woman spectator,
as vet uncertainty identified, created 4
great disturbance, screaming incoher-
emily that she "must see the kleagle. y
She had to be removed from court by
four bailiffs.
Coburn to Name Disturbers
Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes
requested the court to rule that no in
dividuals would be permitted to enter
the courtroom without promise to OBJ
serve the rules, and it was so ordered.
Defense Attorney Paul Barksdale
d Orr, whose queries to the witnesses
had inspired most of the merriment,
then informed the court that certain
spectators had announced their inten-
tions of interrupting at every oppor-
tunity.
Asked if he could identify these per.
sons. D'Orr attempted a conference
with William S. Coburn, former grand
goblin of the Klan and one of the de
PENDANTS. To permit this conference
the court ruled a temporary adjourn
ment, when D'Orr declared that Co
burn would identify the disturbers. y
Fidel Elduayon, Spanish resident OF
Inglewood, whose home was said to
have been invaded by masked men, was
on the stand under cross examination
at the time.
Bv testimony of new witnesses to-
day, the state was expected to attack
the defense theory that the masked
raid on Inglewood was planned and
carried out by duly constituted legal
authorities and not by the 81 alleged
Klansmen now on trial.
This phase of the defense was re-
peatedly brought out in the crossexam-
nation by defense Attorney D'orr,
who implied in his queries that the
men who invaded the Elduayen home
came there to purchase liquor as re-
nresentatives of the law for obtaining
evidence. :.
Excitement subsidized later when 1t
was stated that the disturbers" had
left the building. Session was resumed
and spectators were again permitted III
the court room.
Attorney D'Orr hastily concluded
the examination of Fidel Elduayen and
Mrs. Angela Elduayen was called by
the state. Her testimony followed
closely that of her husband. She stated
that the men who came to their room
wore masks and were armed. A number
of men had entered the room OF their
two daughters, Bernardo and Marie.
She was to resume her account at the
afternoon session.

'|TACIT AGREEMENT"
REGULATES PRICE

WASHINGTON, Aug, 10.-Recom-
mendations that commission be estab-
lished to regulate the oil industry may
result from the senatorial investigation
of high gasoline prices. Some members
of the commission are known to believe
that only in this way can the public
be protected against exorbitant charges
for gasoline.
This was indicated today as reports
to the special committee tended to show
that "tacit agreement existed
among so-called standard producers in
regard to arbitrary price setting.

ship SUBSIDY BILL
LOST IN SHUTTLE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Declara-
tions of republican leaders to the con
trary, there are very good reasons for
believing that the administration ship
subsidy bill, pet measure of Presi-
dent Harding, is dead, so far as the
present congress is concerned.
Prospect of congress being called up
On to hurry through legislation giving
the government 'the power to cope with
the twin rail and coal strikes, is the
latest obstacles which has bobbed up
III the path of the subsidy enactment.
If strike legislation is to be put
through, that, with completion of the
tariff, will be all that could be ex-
pected from "capitol hill' before
December adjournment.

Murphy, center of the hottest labor war
in Chicago history, was freed today of
a charge of murder.
Judge Taylor, before whom Murphy
and other labor leaders are on trial on
charges of killing policeman, an

tion of defense attorneys to allow
Murphy his freedom, taking the case
from the hands of the jury.
The state had not presented enough
evidence to warrant holding the labor
