New Yerk, July 22.—Theodore Roosevelt Has an article on the de velopment of Alaska in toda.y’s iss’ue of the Outlook. He declares tw'o fac tors to be responsible for retarding progress in this direction, “great cap italists who wished to ‘develop’ Alas ka by making enormous fortunes for themselves outside of and in defi ance of the law” and congressmen “who under pretense of hostility to the corporations, decline to permit the passage of legislation which will enable them to do their work hon estly and to develop the coal fields with a fair profit to themselves, while doing justice to- others. Referring specifically to the Con troller Bay case, Mr. Roosevelt says: “In this connection I w'ish also to call attention to the essential fact as regards the Controller Bay situa tion. Controller Bay under actual con ditions offers the only chance, or at any rate, very much the best chance for a free outlet from the great Behr ing river coal fields. It was the im perative duty of the government ser vice to keep this outlet free and not to dispose of it to any individual or individuals. The government should have held this land in perpetuity per mitting its use by any individual or corporation only under conditions that would subserve the general public interest. Unfortunately the in terior department last October elim inated from the government reserve not only the 320 acres, the elimina tion of w'hich was mistakenly re commended by the agricultural de partment, but 12,800 acres more. “Whether there was or was not impropriety in the way in which the elimination was brought about, whether or not there was impropriety in the action which resulted in the instant of the filing of claims by Mr. Ryan and others, does not go to the root of the matter. The root of the matter is no such elimination should have been made by the interior de partment. The public interst de manded that this land should be kept under public control and that to pre vent monopoly its use should be per mitted only under such conditions as the public need required. Remem ber always that such action would not have hindered development. It would have favored development, for it would have enabled any honest By Associated Press. Washington, July 22.—Commenting today on the continuance of turbu- lance in Mexico after an apparently successful revolution a distinguished Mexican rcjsidenl in this city declared that the conditions were . peculiar to his own country and were not at all understood in America. The great mass of the people, he said, had not quarrel with the federal government; that was too far removed from them, and about national issues they cared little. But all they know of authority was represented by the loc.*’l mayors and magistrates with whose apopintment they had nothing to do and with whom they were not in sympathy. Frequently, it was stated, these in dividuals w^cre guilty of the greatest abuse of power, inflicting heavy pun ishments on the natives for insignifi- can offenses and infringing on tehir right of privacy to such a extent that the people became exasperated be yond restraint. W'hen this found expression it was soon developed that the Federal gov ernment w'hich had appointed the ofii- cials stood behind them with all of its strength; hence it was only natural that a purely local revolt against some unpoplar official inevitably resolved itself into a revolutionary movement against the government in the city of Mexico. Richmond, Va., July 22.—With Hen ry C. Beattie, jr., and his cousin, Paul Beattie, under arrest and with a signed statement from the latter that he bought for his cousin the shot gun with which young Mrs. Beattie was killed, the police set out today to strengthen as far as possible their case against the accused husband. Beattie has been cool and apparent, ly undisturbed since his arrest last night. He did not seem surprised when informed of the statement made by his cousin but said nothing to indicate that he would abandon the story ha has told fro mthe first—that his wifei w&s shot to death by a strange man; from the roadside while seated beside him in his automobile. Paul Beattie, the cousin, went into convulsions when arrested and was unconscious for some time. The coroner’s inquest was resumedi today. Whatever may be the result' of the inquiry, the police declare they] will hold the husband for trial. They; believe the crime was committed by; one man and Paul Beattie will be held' as a witness. His signed statement' secured by the police and upon which they base their arrest, was in part' as follows: “I, Paul Beattie, state that during the week of July 10, Henry C. Beattia asked me to buy a shotgun, whereup*' on I asked him what he wanted in for but he did not tell me. Itold him! that I would, whereupon I w^ent to a' pawn shop and priced a single barrel ed shotgun, the kind he had advised me to get, and on the following Satur day night about 10:15 o’clock which was July 15, 1911, in company with Henry C. Beattie in his automobile, I went to the pawn shop and secured the gun, paying $2.50 and delivering the gun to Henry C. Beattie, where upon we both got into the automobile and he brought me home arriving, at home about 11:15 p. m. July 15. “I also state that I bought three' shotgun shells on the afternoon ofj July 15, 1911, and gave them to Henry; C.

While none of the organizations of the womens’ federated clubs have de clared officially for women’s suffrage, many of the leading individuals in these clubs, including prominent so ciety women in Atlanta and elsewhere throughout the state are in favor of votes for women as a matter of prin cipal, though how far they would go practically in a fight for those princi pals is another question. At any rate the bill of Mr. Payton, introduced in the house, opens the whole question in Georgia, for it not only proposes to make women eligible to vote in all city, county, state and dleton, of the Admiral Farra.gut, had to answer a charge of not keeping a prop er lookout.
