LEAVE ON A YACHT
NEWPORT. R. I., Sept, . After
having kept the country In doubt for
several weeks, Colonel John Jacob
Astor and Mies Madeline Tarmadge
Force, of New York, were married
early today at Beechwood, the bride
groom's home near here. The bride
was given away by her father, Wil
liam Force. The others present at
the ceremony were Miss Katharine
Emmons Force, sister of the bride,
nd Vincent Astor," the son of Colonel
Astor.
Rev. Dr. Jos. Lambert of the Elm
wood temiplfi (Congregational) of
providence, performed the ceremony.
Just before leaving Beechwood, Col.
Astor gave the following statement
to the Associated Press:
"Now that w.e are happily married.
I do not care how difficult divorce
and remarriage laws are made. I
Sympathize heartily with the most
Straight-laced people In most of their
Ideas, but beileve remarriage should
be made possible once as marriage
the happiest condition for the ln-
tvJdual and the community."
Great secrecy surrounded the wed
ging plans and although many rumors
had been current that the couple
would be married today, it was not
bntll the license was issued that the
foot that the ceremony would take
place today became actually known.
Just what part If any, Edwin S.
'Straight, the retired minister, had In
connection with the marriage, could
hot be learned today. , It is known,
Jioweiver, that Colonel Astor's bride
nvas Insistent upon being married by a
clergyman who was in good standing
nd who had charge of a parish.
i The apllcetlopn for the marriage li
cense was made August 17 last. Be
fore the license could be granted Colo-
fcnel Astor had to file with the city
clerk a copy of the papers In his
(divorce proceedings.

VERDICT AS UNFAIR

Broken Even With Death Staring
" Him in the Face Visit of Father

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE,
Va.. Sept. 9. Thought of Impending
doom death In the electric chair on
November 24 did not break the
steel-bound composure of Henry Clay
Beattle, Jr., today as he spent his
first day in a .cell here as a convict
for the murder of his wife.
In a matter of fact way he dis
cussed the case with friends who call
ed to express sympathy, but to the
newspaper men he bitterly denounced
the verdict as unfair.
Expecting that Judfre Watson would
not order his removal to the state
penitentiary for several days, young
Beattle began to make his cell more
habitable. His window faces the
county road from which he can view
all Chesterfield In its simple still

that feature sports, are sent to him
daily and on these he lingers as he
did during those fifty-eight minutes
yesterday afternoon whenswolve men
were deciding his fate.

frequent name on Seattle's Hps today,
but she probably never before re
ceived as deep condemnation.
Time and again he complained that
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 !n
terurban station. As he entered the
dim chamber where his convicted'
son stood, he pressed a kiss on his
forehead.
Father Visits Him
It was at this moment as In pre
vious moments of 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 father and son still
flicker one hope the granting by
through a writ of error. But the pro
vailing opinion in Virginia's bay Is
that It hi a vain hope.
In contrast to the peaceful scene
In the aiJ was a little home In Rich

Paul Beattle, cousin of the convicted
man, sat with his wife and babe,

days of detention as the common-'

Dean started on his rampage early

Larned and McLaughlin
Capture Laurels in Inter
national Tennis Meet
HEADED FOR FINALS
NEW YORK. Sept. . America
scored heavily today in the first series
of preliminary matches to determine
whether players of this country or
Great Britain abo.ll constitute the
challenging team for the Davis Inter
national lawn tennis Cup now held by
Australia. Two matches in singles
were played on the turf courts of the
West Side Tennis club and both were
won by the Americans, against whom
were pitted two of the foremost Bri
tish players.
The matches were close, each goln
the full limit of five sets. W. A
Larned, the seven-time American
champion; defeated C. P. Dixon, Bri
tish Isles. 6-3. 2-, -3, 7-5. In the
other match, M. E. Mclaughlin of
CaJifornla defeated A. H. Lowe, Bri
tish Isles, 7-, 6-1.. 4-t, 4-6. 8-4
These victories give the American
two points out of the series of five
matches of which the doubles fol
low on Monday and the other singles
on Tuesday. The team of the win
ning nation will go to Australia.
Both of the matches were won
through sensational pull-ups .by thu
Americans at the eleventh hour. Thu
Britons surprised their opponents by
their steadiness and resourcefulness
at every stage.
Dixon, to the amazement of the
Americans, successfully passed Lamed
at every attempt of the latter to gain
the position at the net until the final
set In the match. Then "Larned set
sail for the net and by wonderful
placement reeled eft five straight
games and the match. It was so
clos. however, that the point to
tals tallied 156 to 13S.
McLoughlln scored his match
against Lowe by holding to a net at
tack despite the passage and placing

most spectacular manner. He wes
