Is Called to Stand This Morning as Witness in His Own
 Defense
DEATH RENDEZVOUS RAG"
 PICTURED AS WORTHLESS
27 Witnesses Come to Aid of Widow and Accused Man on Trial for Murder of Aged Physician in Jer- sey Lanc-Sevcral CorrObOratc Defense story-Seyeral Claim to Have Seen Negroes.

Court Room, Mays Landing, N. J., Dec. Pt-Willis Beach, elder chicken raiser. today took the stand in his defense, for the mur- der of Dr. A. William Lilliendahl with which he and the doctors widow are charged.
 Beach's face was knitted in d heavy frown as he emphatically de- nled all knowledge of or participa- tion in the crime. He spoke clearly and unfalteringly. Mrs. Lilliendahl wrote something on a slip of paper and handed it to her counsel. She leaned forward over the counsel table with her cheeks propped on her clenched hands.
 Beach said he had no other gun in his house except the three detec- tives found after the murder, all of which were said to be very dutsy, in- dicatiag that they had not been fired for a long time.
 Beach told of meeting Dr. Lillien- dahl when the latter first moved to Vineland from Mountain Lakes. That was about year ago.
 Friendship grew between the two families, he said. and the doctor seemed pleased that Beach and Mrs. Lilliendahl found each others com pany agreeable.
 He said his friendship with Mrs. Lilliendahl never caused any quar- rels in either family. The state con- tends that this intimacy formed the motive for the crime.
 Beach then told of his only quar- rel with Dr. Lilliendahl which he said was over the best methods for curing sick chickens.
 We were very friendly" Beach said. He called me Willis and I called him Doc or Willie
 He told me he had some medi- cine that could cure my chickens in three days. I said. Doc, you're full of mush.' Then he called me q fool and l said he was another. Mrs. Lilliendahl heard us and called 10 us to come in the house so the neigh bors wouldn't hear.
 That was the only trouble We ever had"

a crime some sympathy may be felt.
His deed may be etc 'nally wrong
and yet be Iinged with an element of
pity. But no excuse whatever can
be offered, no prison term CAN be
too long, for the man who in cold
blood applies the torch to serve his
own greedy ends.
To destroy American property
which in many cases can never be
replaced, to endange- life, to strike
at the economic welfare of the coun-
try-all this the arsonist does. And
why? Merely to benefit himself or
another through the collection of in
surance.
Hence it is that we say to The
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
to the Fire Marshals of America, to
every force engaged i'll fighting the
scourge of arson: go on; follow
every avenue that may lead to i'm
proved conditions, to more certain
retribution." Vast as is America,
there is no room here for the arson
ist, for the perpetrator Of the crime
of crimes.
WHY NOT STAND AND FIGHT?
There seems to have grown up in
the country an impression that
while there is nothing reprehensible
in any expenditure of money or eff
fort against legitimate property
rights, any effort to combat such
propaganda by those who may have
both principle and property at stake
in resisting such campaigns, whe-
ther carried on by doctrinaires or
mere demagogues carries the taint
of corruption, according to George
B. Lockwood, writing editorially in
the National Republic. This senti-
ment is akin to that which has
grown up that while advocates of
revolutionary violence should have
the right under "free speech" to fur
ther such activity, it is reprehensi-
BILE for the government which is the
object of such attack, to repel by leg
al force the efforts of its assailants.
1t is very natural that those who
are opposed to the institution of pri-
vate property should seek by intimi-
dation to prevent the natural de-
tenders of this institution from put
ting forth effort to Offset the activi-
ties of social revolutionaries. 1t is
surprising, however, that they have
been able to create a popular
psychology which tolerates, and ev-
en- accepts, the doctrine that oppo-
nents of government ownership and
other forms of state socialism,
should take their licking lying
down"
In view of the conception thus
created, it is not surprising to note
that hundreds of organizations and
publications exist for the purpose of
attacking in one way and another,
directly or indirectly the institu-
ton of private property and that a
quick way to political popularity is
in assailing business enterprises
however useful. For while attack
upon property rights is active, ade-
quate defense is lacking.
The general welfare of the people
of the United States rises and falls
with the welfare of the nations pro-
ductive enterprise, which is engag-
ed in the creation of national
wealth, and pays the taxes which
provide the salaries of public men
who often make such enterprise
their target. Lengthening the public
payrolls of the country will no
more promote the prosperity of the
nation than overlooking the cars and
disabling the engine will increase
the speed of train.
