Is Engaged to Wed Willard D. Straight. Photo by American Press Association. Miss Dorothy Whitney to Wed. Harry Payne Whitney made formal announcement in New York city of lie engagement of his sister, Miss Dorothy Payne Whitney, to Willard D. Straight, of Oswego, N. Y., for merly United States consul general to Mukden, Manchuria, and at present connected with the railroad interests of the Morgan, Kuhn-Loeb and Na tional City bank alliance. The wedding will take place in the fall and is expected to be an elaborate affair, befitting a young woman who is worth more than $6,000,000 in her own right. It will follow a romantic and picturesque courtship. Kills Wife by Mistake. Thinking his wife was a burglar, ; George Golden, a merchant of Wick-1 boro, adjoining Kittanning, Pa., shot and killed her during the night. The half-crazed husband is under the care of a physician. Golden had bought a revolver be cause of the many thefts committed in the vicinity of his home recently. When he was aroused from heavy sleep by his wife pulling down a win dow in their room he reached under his pillow and, finding the weapon, fired. He discovered his error when he stumbled over her body. Evangelistic Work Pays. William A. Sunday, quondam profes sional base ball player, now profes sional revivalist, closed the evangelis tic session of 1910-11 in Erie, Pa., the other day $70,570.10 to the good as a result of his year's work. This return for about ten months' work, more than the president of the United States has drawn for the same time, is evidence that from a mone tary standpoint evangelistic work is more profitable than playing profes sional base ball. Sunday recently re fused an offer to go back to the ma jqrs once more at $500 a month. Population Center Moving West. The center of population of the United States is four and one-quarter miles south of Unionville, Monroe county, Indiana, according to a census bureau announcement. Since 1900, when it was six miles southeast of Columbus, Ind., it has moved thirty-one miles westward and seven-tenths of'a mile northward. The westward movement was more than twicle that of the 1890-1900 decade. This acceleration of the westward movement is attributed by census of ficials principally to the growth of the Pacific and southwestern states. Hog Chews Off Boy's Foot. A most distressing accident hap pened at Upper Cross Roads, near Havre de Grace, Md., which will per manently make a cripple for life Leroy, the nineteen-months-old son of Tham- as Cheneworth, who wandered away I from the house to the pig pen and climbed up the slats with his bare i feet, when' a vicious hog caught the ! child's right foot and chewed it off at I the ankle. Dr. Bradley was summoned j and had the child taken to a Baltimore hospital, where the leg was amputated below the knee. Married Over the 'Phone. Marriage by telephone, with the of ficiating clergyman in one place, the bridegroom in another and the bride in still another, was made possible In Coin, Iowa. Rev. H.' B. Minton, sitting in his study, united in marriage George Prentice at his home in Northboro, and Miss Mary DeWitt, in Blanchard. Coin is five miles north of Blanchard and Northboro, three miles west of Blanchard, is about the same distance from the pastor's home. Live Stock Infected by Hydrophobia. A horse on the farm of John Tay lor, near Rising Sun, Md., became s victim of rabies and ferociously as saulted another horse and a mule, bit ing them in the neck before being shot. Three hogs, two dogs and a cat and a number of chickens have been the victims of hydrophobia and were shot within a period of two weeks, all the result of a pet dog of the family being affected with the disease for sev ral weeks before it became known. Keat Wave Melting Alaska Glaciers. A heat wave struck Alaska, the tem perature In Valdez rising to 80 de grees. The warm weather is melting the glaciers and the streams fed by them are unusually high. Gangs of men are working to save the bridges leading to the mines. WHY DO THEY The trite saying, "a question Is never settled until It is settled right," is more worthy of notice than is us ually given it. The liquor men claim they are going to settle the liquor question by regulation, but hundreds of years of failure to regulate shows any mind whose gray matter has not been poisoned by alcohol that this is not the right settlement. If prohibi tion is such a failure why does every class of liquor men fight it so vigor ously? Alabama Citizen. S Henry Beattie and Cousin Are in Custody. ANOTHER . WOMAN INVOLVED Cousin Admits Buying Gun Used In Killing Mrs. 'Beattie Attempts Sui cide In Jail. Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., was arrest ed in Richmond, Va., after his cousin, Paul Beattie, had admitted having bought the gun with which Mrs. Beat tie was killed. Paul Beattie was also arrested. Paul Beattie attempted to commit euicide following his arrest and he was taken to a hospital under guard, suffering from convulsions. Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., told a coro ner's jury his story of the murder of his wife by an unknown man accosted on the road while the couple were driving their automobile several nights ago on the Midlothian turnpike. Beattie's counsel stated that the young man knew he was suspected by the authorities of having had a hand in the crime, and declared they would not object to any line of questioning the state might desire to pursue, and maintained that their client would prove his innocence. Beattie, on the stand for two hours, rigidly adhered to his first story of the affair. Beattie was the first witness heard, the line of questioning indicating a belief by the state authorities that his wife was killed in the road, where the large bloodstain was found, instead of in the automobile. Inquiry for the clothing worn by Mrs. Beattie brought out the fact that it had been burned by her family, who, it was explained, wished to de stroy a grewsome reminder of the tragedy. The inquest was delayed while the police authorities conferred about this and was further delayed while the elder Beattie and his son's counsel were driven to the scene of the mur der, so that the lawyer could satisfy himself as to the position of the blood stained earth with relation to the track of automobile travel. Beattie was closely questioned, his counsel throwing down all barriers by declaring that the young man was well aware he was suspected and was ready to maintain his innocence. Beattie was on the stand for more than two hours, and in spite of all tests, such as the reconstruction of the scene at the moment of the crime, stuck to his original account of the tragedy. Another important witness was ex pected to be Beulah Binford, a wo man with whom young Beattie is said to have recently associated. Much of the testimony at the inquest was ex pected to turn upon the relations be tween Beattie and his young wife. Aldrich Denies Lorimer Story. Former Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, told the senate Lori mer committee of the part he and President Taft took in the election of a senator from Illinois in 1909. Instead of telling Edward Hines, of Chicago, the storm center in the pres ent Lorimer investigation, that he and the president were anxious to have Lorimer elected, Mr. Aldrich declared that he said Lorimer's candidacy was "not objectionable." When attorneys for Lorimer, on cross-examination, tried to show that the former senator might have said "acceptable," Mr. Aldrich emphatically declared that he said "not objection able," and that he meant that word and nothing more. He added that he knew Hines would use the information given him at Springfield. Mr. Aldrich also denied he had told Hines that he considered Lorimer the only man who could be elected. He declared that he did not ask Senator Penrose to bring Hines to consult with him in regard to the Illinois election, and added that he did not believe Senator Penrose brought Hines to his room. According to Aldrich, all the con versations he had with Hines in re gard to the senatorial situation were regarding the president's attitude to ward candidates, first Hopkins, then Boutell, and finally Lorimer. The sen ator denied that he told, Hines he wanted a senator elected because of the prospective close vote on the tariff. Publicity For Campaign Cash. The senate amended and passed the Dill providing for publicity of contri butions to and expenditures in politi cal campaigns. The vote was 50 to 77. The negative votes were all cast bj Democrats from the south. The bill in its amended form pro vides for publicity, not only before and after elections, but in the case of pri mary as well as general elections. It applies both to candidates for the United States senate and nominees for the house of representatives. The bill has been passed by the house and will now go to conference. The present publicity law provides only for a state ment of expenditures after elections and does not apply to candidates for the senate. An amendment offered by Senator Reed, of Missouri, aroused much In terest. It seeks to put a limitation on the amount of money that every can didate for senator or representative may expend and in other ways broad- KlkLTHB COUGH ANoCURBTHCLUilGS AM ALL THROAT AND1UKG TROUBLES GUAffAHTEEO SATSFACTOPy Of? fONEY &ZFUNOCD. ARREST IIU BAND IN MOTOR MURDER 0 ens the scope of the bill. The Reed (amendment enacts -that the total amount of money expended by any candidate to influence an election Khali not exceed ten cents for each voter, and that he shall not be permit ted to expend a sum in excess of what Is lawfully allowed by the legislature of the state in which he is a candi date; that a candidate for United States senator shall not contribute any money in aid of -the election of -a member of the legislature of his own state, and that in no event shall a can didate for the United States senate ex pend more, than $10,000 or a candidate for the house of representatives more than $5000 to influence his election. Lewis Strang Killed. Lewis Strang, of Racine, Wis., the automobile racer and aviator, was kill ed at Blue River, Wis. Strang was driying a car in the state reliability tour, the machine jumping an embankment. Strang was Jn charge .of the machine carrying the technical committee. While going along at good speed the machine encountered a passing team. In endeavoring to get out of the way the car jumped a bank and the famous driver lost his life. Three others in tie car jumped and escaped practically uninjured. That Strang deliberately sas inviting death on the run was l5' opinion of his associates on the tour when the party left Lacrosse. Since leaving Milwau kee, Monday, Strang is said to have been so reckless that some who had started with him in his car refused to ride with him. Government Again Sues Coal Roads. The government will renew the fight to take from the great coal car rying railroads their virtual control of mines, and thus vitalize the commodi ties clause of the interstate commerce law. A test case against the Lehigh Val ley Railroad company was filed In the United States court in Philadelphia. " That the Lehigh Valley Coal com pany, Cose Brothers, Inc., the New York & Middlefield Railroad and Coal company, and the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron company are not bona fide coal companies, but merely ad juncts to the Lehigh Valley railroad, and are "devices for evading the com modities clause," is the government's principal complaint. It is also alleged that the Ienigh Valley railroad, with the object ot removing competition, has caused the Lehigh Valley Coal company to contract at a. loss for the output of other anthracite operators, has transported the coal over its own lines and through the coal company fixed the price in New York and other markets. West For Woodrow Wilson. That the west is almost1 solidly for Woodrow Wilson as the Democratic presidential hope in 1912, is the em phatic opinion of John H. Hinemon, former superintendent of public in struction of Arkansas, who has just returned to Little Rock from an ex tended tour of the western states. Not only is Wilson considered the logical candidate by the Democrats of the west, says Mr. Hinemon, but Wil liam Jennings Bryan is still a factor to be considered, not as a presidential candidate, but as a force that must be reckoned with in the selection of a candidate. "I have been over much of the west," said Mr. Hinemon, "and find very little sentiment for any man as a presidential possibility on the Demo cratic ticket except Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey." And it does not re quire a search to find this sentiment, for it is in a sense sticking out every where and one can hardly avoid find ing it." Bee Sting Kills Man. Philip Dusch, a resident of Brady township, near Dubois, Paj died with in thirty minutes after being stung by a honey bee. Mr. Dusctr went out to place a cap on a hive and was heard to call. His wife rushed to his side in time to see him fall. Before dying Dusch said he had been stung only once on the point of the jaw. He was sixty-two years old. Woman Aviator Killed. Denise Moore, who is described as an American sportswoman, resident in Algiers, was killed at Henry Fillman's aviation school at Mourmelon, France. She fell a distance of 120 feet. Misal Moore was trying for a pilot's license. Two Drown Changing Seats. Changing seats in a rowboat cost the lives of Carl Glade and Mathew Hillistein in the Chicago river. Life savers rescued the third man, Alvin Mathis, who was found clinging to the overturned craft. GENERAL MARKETS PHILADELPHIA FLOUR dull; winter, clear, $3.40 3.80; city mills, fancy, $5.255.80.

TWO DIE IN SUICIDE PACT Man and Wife Dress in Wedding Clothes Drink Poison. WERE FOUND DEAD IN BED Society Leaders End Their Lives and Leave Instructions to Be Buried Be side Their Children Without Funeral Services. Clasped A each other's arms and dressed in their wedding clothes, Mr. and Mrs. Edward D. C. Crans, promi nent residents of Middletown, N. were fom.d dead in bed at their home. They bad been dead since last Wed nesday aiid their bodies were in a ter rible condition. On a chair beside the bed were two glasses, which had ap parently contained carbolic acid. On the same chair hung Mr. Crans' coat. The indications were that the poison had been prepared in another room, carried into the bedroom and drunk, after which the couple got into bed and, wrapping their arms around each other, awaited death. Mr. and Mrs. Crans had been promi nent socially for many' years, Mr. Crans having been formerly editor of the Middletown Daily Press. He was also prominent in Republican politics for many years. When the bodies were first discov ered it was thought that it was a case of murder and suicide, but later, when two letters enclosed in one envelope, were discovered, it was found that the couple had died as a result of a sui cide pact, which had been in their minds since March 16, 1911, at least, for one of the letters bore that date. The letters were addressed to "Ex ecutor Dr. E. M. Schultz." The second letter, evidently written just before death by Mrs. Crans, di rected that no funeral services be held and that the undertaker be required not to disturb their bodies. It was also requested that the husband be buried beside a little daughter who died nine teen years ago and that the wife be buried beside a son who died at the same time. The letter concluded: "Now, I am in my right mind, but we have nothing to live on and we are proud." The children referred to died from diphtheria on the same day, and for nineteen years the couple had made daily visits to their graves. They were formerly well to do, and no one supposed that they were in such reduced circumstances as the let ters indicated. Lately Mrs. Crans Lad taken to hair dressing, but it was sup posed more for an occupation than to gain a livelihood. The double suicide caused the great est sensation the city has known In many years, and the many friends of the couple are amazed to learn that they had harbored suicide thoughts for many months, for they had maintained a cheerful exterior as they were seen daily on the streets. That their bodies had lain five days before being discovered was due to the fact, that their friends believed they had gone away for the summer. Eager Spectators.
