DEATH Scene
VISITED BY
HUNDREDS
Room Where Beulah Limerick
Was Slain Described; Dump
May Hide Killers Weapon

The dingy little house at 18
Nineteenth st. s. E., where
Beulah Limerick met violent
death in her basement room IL
days ago, was the mecca Of Wash
ington's curious yesterday.
From early in the morning uHl-
Gil darkness had fallen they came
by the hundreds to try TO peer
In the windows Of the little room
where the girl was shot to death.
For blocks around they parked
cars and came to stare, to whis-
per, to wonder who it was that
killed this girl in the old mystery
house so perfectly suited for a
murder.
Like Fiction House
For the house looks like the
murder house Of fiction! Alone
it stands, mysterious, isolated.
weird. And its location could not
be better for a foul deed.
In the rear of the house for
q space Of almost a mile stands
q public dump. And a man who
had committed a murder might
well slip in there in the darkness
and hide his weapon in such a
way that it would take an army
Of searcherS to recover it.
Beyond the dump Is the river,
the Eastern Branch. in whose
waters a gun might be thrown
and never recovered
The house is three stories high,
but has only two rooms to a
floor. Too tall for its width, it
presents q forbidding aspect.
It was in the front room, first
floor, that Beulah Limerick came
to her death. A Uttered room.
A Soualid room. There is none Of
the "immaculateness" seen by DR..
Greene, the physician who pro-
nounced the girl dead.
The floors are rough pine
boards, and if they have ever felt
the contact Of a mop they do not
give evidence Of it. The window
sills are thick with dust.
Entire House Filthy
This room and the others are in
rank disorder. Broken packages,
soiled clothes, letters, papers are
StHew about. Back OF the death
room is the kitchen, and there
too is filth.
Soiled dishes, broken boxes, old
cans, wild disorder. A dank smell
paruades the place. Partly used
package or food are scattered
about.
On the second floor is the room
where BeuIah lived until it be-
came too cold and she moved to
the first floor where the stove in
the front room was the only heat
in the house.
Two filthy rooms and a small
bath are on this floor. In the
rooms are a couple of dreSserS
filled with a collection of old
clothes.
Two rooms on the top floor, the
rear room occupied by Vernon
Limerick, brother of the slain
girl, and Richard Reed, described
in court as "iust like brother to
Eeulafi," despite the fact that the
house was rented in the name Of
"Nr. and Mrs. Richard Reed"
Here, too, the ultimate of filth
and disorder Is found.

Mrs. Dora Limerick, mother Of

TEXAS COTTON CUT
PLAN NEARS VOTE
80 Per Cent Planting Law
Agreed Upon by Joint LegiS-
lative Group.

BY the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex, September 21.-Only
formal ratification of a 80 per cent
compromise acreage reduction program
remained today to complete the action
of the Texas Legislature on the cotton
marketing emergency.
The bill, as agreed upon by Senate
and House members of the Free Con-
ference Committee. was ready to be re-
turned to both branches and little
trouble was anticipated in its passage.
The committee agreement vas reached
late Saturday.
Members Ct the committee expressed
belief the bill would curtail cotton pro-
duction in Texas in 1892 and 1888 by
SO per cent.
Under its provisions farmers are pro-
hibited from planting more than 80
per cent of their cultivated area to cot
ton In 1892 and 1888. Another provision
prohibits farmers from planting cotton
on the same land two years in success
sion after 1888.
The compromise plan was made
necessary after the Senate and House
had adopted bills calling for acreage
reduction to onc-fourth and ons-third,
respectively, of the land under cultiva-
tton.
If no unexpected hitch develops.
Texas will be the first State to adopt
a cotton curtailment program. Louisiana
and South Carolina have adopted the
mo 1882 cotton" plan advanced by Gov.
Huey P. Long Of Louisiana.
