So far as President Taft concerned the tartff will be the main Issue of the 1S1J cam paign. While the Preildent will apeak on many subjects on hla Western trip. It Is certain now that tariff revision will receive mostW his attention. Following; hla speech to the Essex County republican Club at Hamilton on Saturday, the President began today to prepare other speeches on the tariff. Tie obtained copies of his veto message on the wooL farmers" free Hat and cot ton bills, and aiso set to work upon addresses that he experts to deliver later barking up those vetoes. IMan of Attack Outlined. .Mr. Taft Is said to realize that he must not merely defend himself for bavin rejected these bills, but must atti.-k the Democrats and progressive Republicans who pet them through Consrresa. The attack upon the Democrats the President can make almost anywhere. It is understood that the fight upon tl,e progressive Republicans will be confined to their own territory. The President will carry the war West into the enemy's country. alare of War Defined. The nature of attack Is pretty clear ly defined already It will be In sub stance that the progressive who voted for a tariff board hou!d have been tilling to wait for its report; that the revision bills the Democrats and In surgents drew at the special seaalon were Til considered" and "badly drawn." and that great Industries of the country should not be put Into Jeopardy by soeh legislation when re vision. If recommended by the tartff board, might be expected anyway a few montha later. It Is probable that the President will promise tariff reform so far as he can bring It about at the next session of Congress. It Is quite probable tKat the pro greesrres will be under fire of the President also on the subject of re ciprocity. 42 TEAMS ENTER SHOOT Infantry leads In Competition at Camp Berry, Oblo. f CAMP PERRT.

That the granting of the demands of the fed eration of shop employes of the Hani man lines would mean chaos; that It would abridge or deprive the corpora tions of the ability to fulfill the duties Imposed upon them by the law, and that the officers deliberately so be traying their trusts as to agree to such an arrangement would be uni versally and Justly condemned by pub lic opinion, was the statement made to night by Julius Kruttschnltt. vice president and director of maintenance and operation of the Harrlman roads. Mr. Kruttschnltt took up In detail the reasons for refusing the demands of the federated shopmen, saying: Reasons Given In Detail.

OROVILLE. CaL. Aug. 2S. (Special.) Unless a more definite ruling can be obtained from Dr. Wiley relative to what constitutes a green orange, tha rich holiday trade of the Eastern mar kets may be closed to the orange-grow- ers of Northern California. This waa the statement made today by D. O. Hills, secretary of the Butte County Citrus Association. A serious situation has developed as a result of the Indefinite character of Dr. Wiley's ruling. Dr. Wiley has decreed that green oranges must not be sold. He recog nizes, however. In his ruling, that the fruit of tha orange tree may be ripe enough for market while the color of the peel Is yet green. The growers fear that they may send fruit to the East, only to find that each inspector has a different opinion, and that, aa a consequence, unless the oranges are allowed to fully mature upon the trees, there win be a heavy loss by reason of tha actions - of the pure food Inspectors.

Just how soon we will hear from Washington, but I have reason to believe that It will be In a few days. Mr. Campbell la still here and has not resigned."

Kin, on Stand, Tells of Confession. DUTY FORCES REVELATIONS "I Wish to God I Had Not Done It," Rich Man's Words. , PRIDE OF MOTHER STIFLED Mrs. Tl. V. Owen, Dead Woman' Parent, in Choking Voice, Telia Tale of Son-ln-I.aw's Illness. Prisoner Faces Strain. CHESTERFIELD COURTHOUSE, Va Aug. 28. Paul D. Beattie, cousin oi Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., who stands in dicted for the murder of his wife, tes tified late today that the accused had told him 24 hours after the murder how. sorry he was that "he had done it," a circumstance relating to the crime that the witness hitherto had suppressed. Coming as dramatically and as unex pectedly as the pathetic tals an hour before of Mrs. R V. Owen, mother ot the dead woman, as to the domestic In felicity of her daughter as a result ot the husband's disease, the brief but thrilling testimony given by Paul BeaU tie created a profound sensation. Paul Beattie, at the Coroner's In quest a nervous wreck, but today strong and determined, poured out a tale which confessedly had troubled his mind not only because he pur chased the shotgun for Henry, but be cause he had not until today told all he knew of the case. Duty Forces Revelations. T hated to testify against my own flesh and kin," he murmured, "but my wife, my child, and the duty I owe to my city forced V6 to do so. Henry himself told me that he wanted me to stick by him. but I said to him: Thia looks mighty black to me, and you've got me Into a lot of trouble." "Henry told me I wish to God I had not done It. I would not have done It for 81,000,000, but she never loved me. She only married me for my money." " It was late when this stage of tha trial was reached and adjournment waa taken until tomorrow morning, wheq cross-examination will continue. Mbther-ln-Iiaw Forgets Pride. From early morning, when a motheiy Mrs. R. V. Owen, stifled her pride and. in a choking voice, almost a whisper at times, told the jury the sordid details of Henry C. Baettie, Jr.'a alleged phy slcal ailment. ' which caused his wife heartrending grief and hours ot an guish, the prisoner faced the hardest strain thus far witnessed in his fight for life. Through the testimony of the mother of the dead woman the prosecution en deavored to define the motive for tha crime the fear that the news of fhe alleged ailment might reach Henry Clay Beattie, Sr., and cause a rupture between the son and the father, upon whom he depended. To reinforce this theory the prose cution put on the stand Mrs. J. Bin ford, mother of Beulah, "the girl In the) case," and Henrietta Plttman, Beu lah's chum. Tale of Childbirth Told, t Their testimony brought to the sur face a story of Beattle's four years o4 ' acquaintance with Beulah Blnxord. oi alleged numerous Indiscretions, of tha birth and death of the child named Henry Clay Blnford and how. Just prior to the murder, this relauonsnip was renewed. Confusion Seen in Courtroom. There was confusion in the court room when Paul Beattie was sum moned. Tbe gun with which Mrs, Beattie was killed was produced. "Look at that and tell the Jury when was the first time you saw It," said Prosecutor Wendenburg. "The first time," Beattio answered quickly, "was at the pawnshop when I bought It, on a Saturday Just before the murder, and the next time was at the Coroner's Inquest." "How did you come to buy the gun? 'Thursday, in the week before tbe murder, I was at home with my wife and baby," Paul replied. "The tele phone rang and Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., asked me to meet him in 15 min utes. I dressed and went to Short and Main streets, three squares away. Purchase of Gun Told. "My cousin came a few minutes later In his automobile. We went to a sa loon and had a drink and as we left he said to me: "Paul. I want you to buy a single-barreled shotgun." I said 'All right." He took me home In the ma chine and gave me 82 to pay for the gun and 5 cents for cartridges. He told me to call-up a girl for him Mrs. Fisher and tell her he would ba around for his wife's dress. I called up Mrs. Fisher and told her this." Previous testimony had been given to show that Beulah Blnford was known as "Mrs. Fisner." Th9 witness described In detail his purchase of the weapon and continued: I went to the store of Uncle Henry and saw Henry Clay Beattie.
