Va., Sept" 9 Thought of impending, doom death in the electric chair on Novem ber 24th did not break the steel bound composure of Henry Clay Beat tie, Jr., today as he spent his first day in a cd1 here as a convict for the murder of his wife. ' " ; ' v" In a matter of fact way Ire discussed the case with friends who called to ex press sympathy, but to the newspaper men he bitterly denounced the verdict as unfair. , Exppcting that Judge Watson would not order his removal to the-State penitentiary for several days, young Beat tic began to make his cell more habitable. His window" faces the coun try road and from it he can view all Chesterfield in its simple stillness. Newspapers, particularly those- that feature sports, are sent to him daily and on these he lingers as he did -during those fifty-eight minutes yester day afternoon when twelve men ',were deciding his fate. Beulah 'Binford his relations with v.hom shocked the jurymen was ,a trcqnent name on Beattie's lips today but she probably never before receiv ed as deep condemnation. . Time and again he complained taat the jury had tried him for his rela tions with the 'girl of the underworld, rather than upon the circumstantial testimony pertinent to the tragedy. A white haired man rode out to the jail today, jostled over three miles of a rough road from the nearest inter vrban station. As he entered Uiedlm chamber where hisebnvlcted, 'son stood, he pressed a kiss on his fore head. , It was at this moment, as in prev ious moments in the trial, that the fortitude of the boy crumpled and his face flushed, tears forcing their way from his eyes over his pale cheeks In the mind of the father and son still flickers one hope the granting by the Court of Appeals of a new trial through' a writ of error. But the pre mailing opinion in Virginia's bar is that it is a vain hope. In contrast to the peaceful scene in the jail was a little home in Richmond seventeen miles away where Paul Beanie, cousin of the convicted man, sat with his wife and babe,glad in his freedom from the weary days of de tention as the commonwealth's prin cipal witness, yet sympathetic for the man of whom he bought the faal gun, all ignorant of the evil purpose that J.t was to fill four days later. "What I did in testifying," said Paul '"I did from a sense of duty. It was .hard at first to nerve myself to telling ail I knew, but - am relieved that have done it." - "Fearfully unfair," muttered ' the c ndenmed man in his ceil when asked his opinion of the verdict "Beulah Binford." he added, fieured lurely in the verdict, more largely uian the testimony of . the killing. These country folks cannot understand hew a woman of the underworld can be crazy about you. They don't know when that happens how very hard it to get rid of her "I have drifted along hoping against nope that something would occur to enable me to rid myself of at Bin I(;i'd girl.

REACHED BY WRONG ADVISORS Declares the President Nesded No Commissioner to Make Promises To Break Them, Or to Call Special Session - Boston, Mass., Sept. 9. Although rain forced the postponement of the open air barbecue planned for today at the opening of the Democratic cam paign for the coming State election, the Democratic city committee quickly readjusted its plans and an enthusias tic gathering of Democrats listened to addreses by prominent members of the party in Faneull Hall. ' The chief guest and speaker was Governor Harmon, of Ohio, while speeches also were made by Governor Foss, of Massachusetts, Mayor John F. Fitzgerald,-of Boston. President Taft's attitude toward tar- ff reform was attacked by Governor yunsantfARMQM Harmon. He said that the President's course In vetoing tariff bills - passed by special session of Congress indi cated that he had been reached by 'wrong advisors." Speaking of - tile resident's objections to these bills he said: "These and other marks of paternity suggest the question whetn- er. the vetoes may not have been adopted ' offspring, like the defense of Ballinger." ' "He needed no commissioner," said the speaker, when he promised a gen eral reduction before his election, nor when he called the special session to eep the promise, nor when he signed the bill that broke the promise, nor when he confessed that the woolen and cotton goods duties were too high, nor when he made the agreement with Canada. His position is simply that those who by the rickery of tariff making have secured a license to im pose exorbitant prices on the Amen can people snail go on doing it, fh spite of the action of both Houses of Congress, until five men who are not responsible to the people, nor even experts," shall advise him how much these favor taxes ought to, be reduced and r how to do it scientifically. He admits they are too high on these ab solute and universal necessities of life, but he fears these bills may have cut them too much. All the men, wo men and children In the land must continue to suffer an admitted wrong which affects health and comfort rather than run any risk of causing too much -shrinkage in profits . made ex cessive by law. -The people must not even have the benefit of the doubt. 'If the present tariff charges had been fixed merely . without proper iknowledge and skill it could well be said that, an 'unscientific' remedy is good enough for an unscientific wrong, especially when those who apply the remedy have the advantage 01 aeanng with actual results while those who did the wrong acted only on conjee ture. But the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot law. had a far worse sire than ignor ance. And it is a reflection on our plan of government to say that Che flaerant lnlaultles oi that law snail go on defying good sense, common Know! edge and honest purpose until a com missio'n without" legal responsibility or authority shall decide how the duly chosen law - making body may dea with them. r "I believe in the veto power.

For the President to defeat the action of Con zress. especially when it follows the plain mandate of the country, merely because , be is not certain aoout himself and wants to, wait for, some body else to advise him, is a new and perilous departure from -the wise de- i film or tne consituuonv ...

For aid ing and abetting in the alleged bribery of State Senator L. R.

A further examina tion also revealed that the child had been attacked. In a nude and discolored state, the body was discovered today by George Younger, a laborer. Practically the only clue the police have to work upon so far is a story to the effect that two Italians who ap- tieared greatly excited purchased tick ets for Chicago shortly alter tnecrime is supposed to have been committed The only motive for the murder seems to be revenge upon her parents by some enemy at present unidenti fied.

I., Sept. 9. After hav- ng kept the country In doubt for sev eral weeks, Colonel John Jacob Astor and Miss Madeline Talmage Force, of New York, were married early today at Beech wood, the bride groom's home here. The bride was given away by v her father, WJIlllam Force. The oth ers present at the ceremony were Miss Catherine Emmons Force, a sister of the bride and Vincent Astor, the son of Colonel Astor. Rev. Dr. Joseph Lambert, of the Elmwood Temple (Congregational), of Provldence, performed the ceremony. Fifteen minutes after the marriage ceremony had been performed Colonel " and Mrs. Astor leu Beechwood in an automobile for the boat landing at the foot of Wellington avenue. A few minutes later they were on board the . yacht which sailed immediately. Just before leaving Beechwood Col onel Astor .gave the following state ment to the Associated Press: "Now that we are happily married do not care how difficult divorce and re-marriage laws are made. I sym pathize heartily with the most straight aced. people in most of their ideas,. but . believe re-marriage should be possible once, as marriage is the hap piest condition for the individual and the community. Great secrecy surrounded the wed ding plans and although many rumors had befki current that the couple would . tur : 'married today, it was not until the' plcense was issued that the fact that the ceremony would taite place today became, actually- known. . Just what part, if any, Edwin S., Straight the retired minister had in connection with the marriage could not be learned today. It is known, however, that Colonel Astor's bride v.as insistent ,upon being married by a clergyman who was in good standing and who had charge of a parish. The application for the marriage Mi- cense was made August zan last. Before' the license could be granted Colonel Astor had to file with the city clerk a Copy of .the papers in his di vorce proceedings. In the license he set forth that he was 47 years old, the son of the late William Astor, residence" New York, and occupation, gentleman. Miss Force declared she was 20 years of age, tne daughter of W. H. Force, of New York, and gave her father's occupation as "forwarding and commission." 4 A message from Point Judith gave the information that the Noma, after passing 'down the bay, rounded Point Judith and steamed to the westward. This led to the belief that the bridal couple might be heading for Rhino Cliff, N. Y., where Colonel Astor nas a country home. Providence, R. I., Sept. 9. Rev. Dr. Joseph Lambert upon his return to his home here today from Newport declined to discuss the Astor-Forco wedding. Beyond stating that he had performed the ceremony Dr.. Lambert said that he had.no comment to maJke, an did not care to ,make public his views' as to marriage and divorce questions. AVOID ACCIDENT IN AIR. Miss Moisant, Aviator, Spies Another .
