CHESTERFIELD COURTHOUSE; Va
Sept 4. Through six weary hours
Henry Clay Beattle. Jr., Indicted for
the murder of his wife, battled for his
life on the witness stand today. Even
Ing shadows Interrupted a vigorous
cro.is-examlnation by the common
wealth. Judge Watson ending; the
ordeal by adjourning: court until to
morrow, when Prosecutor Wendenburgr
will continue his questions.
A lone figure was young Beattle In
the crowd that surrounded him on all
rides, even windows and trees com
manding the courtroom being thick
with staring faces. And the prisoner
sat for hours, hl manner cool and
collected, unfolding the sordid details
of his relations with Beulah Blnford,
17 years old. for whom the prosecution
alleges Beattle killed his bride of
year.
Orgies Frankly Told.
Not only the, orele of the four years
before his 'marriage and those that
preceded, the homicide, but the grue
some tale of the alleged attack by a
highwayman and the wild ride to' the
Owen home at a speed of 66 miles an
hour, with the lifeless body of his
wife in the machine beside him, were
related to the jury in all Its detail.
The prisoner, by request of the
prosecution, stood up and donned the
bloodstained coat that he had worn the
night of the murder, and attempted
to explain why blood had not flecked
certain parts of the garment, if his
wife had reclined against him In the
way he described.
Beattle answered questions readily
In an even voice, and without emo
tion. In no essential did his version
of the affair today differ from that
which be gare at the Coroner's In
quest, and to which the defense has
clung. .
Prisoner's Story Unshaken.
Denial after denial came from the
lips of the prisoner as Prosecutor
Wendenburg questioned him concern
ing the alleged purchase of a shotgun
for him by his cousin, Paul Beattle,
on the Saturday before the murder,
and the testimony of the latter as. to
the confession In which Henry Is al
leged to have exclaimed:
"X wish to God I hadn't done It. I
would not do It again for a million
dollars.' '
Beattle denied he had been with Paul
at any time within the week or fort
night previous to the Saturday night
before the murder.
"Mr. Beattle," said Prosecutor Wen
denburg. "you have been asked by
your counsel several questions as to
what your testimony was before the
Coroner's Jury, under the statutes of
Virginia that evidence before the Coro
ner's jury cannot be used against you.
Now, do you waive your right and say
that the commonwealth may use the
evidence given by you before the Cor
oner's Juryf
Counsel for the defense objected that
the question should not be asked be
fore the Jury. The court sustained
the objection.
The court then asked the Jury to
dlsregard'the question.
"Sow, I understand, Mr. Beattle," re
sumed Prosecutor "Wendenburg, "that
you met Beulah Blnford In August.
107. When did your Illicit relations
with her begin?"
Beattle Educates Beulah.
"About two weeks after I had met
her."
"And continued how long?"
"Until she went to Washington in
ihe Fall of 1908."
"When did you send her to school?"
"The same Fall. Can I explain?"
"Yes."
"Her people were going to send her
to school. They all thought I would
help them, which I did; not to give her
an education for my benefit, but to
get her out of the way."
"What do you mean by to get her
mt of the way?"
"I mean that I wasn't educating her
because I liked her."
"Couldn't you get her away In any
ither way?" Insisted Mr. Wendenburg.
"Did she have that Influence over you
that yon had to send her away?"
"Xo."
"Then your relations continued for
some time when she was 14 years
old?"
"Yes."

JUNEAU HOTEL FIRE
w.
MORRISON, OP PORTLAND,
IS AMONG DEAD.
Most Beautiful Half-Breed Girl lm
Alaska Also Killed Two In
jured May Not Survive.
JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 4. Seven
lives' lost, 14 persons Injured, two of
whom are not expected to live, and
the Juneau Hotel and the McGrath
building in ashes are the result of a
fire which started In the hotel late last
night and was subdued only after the
Douglas fire department had sent men
and engines to assist the local fire
fighters. Six bodies have been recov-
ered from the ruins and five more are
believed to be burled In the debris.
The known dead are:
Will Morrison, day clerk, formerly
of Portland, Or.
Walter Davenport, a painter of Ta-
coma. . x
Sellna Dowllng, a native girl.
The bodies of Morrison, Davenport,
two unidentified men and two uniden
tlfled women have been recovered.
Of the 14 persons In the hospital,
William Southwlck. of Michigan,- and
Boyd Miles, of Montana, are believed
to be Injured fatally.
Will Morrison, who was a native of
Wisconsin, and who came to Juneau
from Portland, was killed when he
jumped from the third story. Sellna
Dowllng. who Is known to have per
ished, was reputed to be the most
beautiful half-breed maiden In Alaska.
She was recently acquitted of a charge
of murdering her mother.
The hotel and the McGrath building
were owned by J. J. McGrath. but the
hotel was leased to Paul Vincent.' The
loss Is estimated at (60,000 with no
Insurance.
The hotel, a large three-story struc
ture, was crowded and the entire
building was ablaze before the alarm
was given. The flames spread rapidly
and soon destroyed the McGrath build
tng, which adjoined the hotel.
PALOUSE WHEAT IS SHORT
Large Yield Expected Xot Material
izing, Says Inspector.
TACOMA. Wash, Sept. 4. (Special.)
The large wheat yield anticipated by
farmers and millers in Washington is
not materializing as well as expected.
according to H. C Stivers, Chief
Deputy State Grain Inspector. . He said
today that lue crop would not be as
heavy as every one at first believed.
The reason given by Mr. Stivers for
the over estimate is the failure of
heads of grain to fill out entirely.
The Palouse country, especially, he
says has found that the expectations
of agriculturists had fallen short. The
hot weather, he says, has had little. If
anything to do with the result. How
ever, In spite of Mr. Stivers' rather
gloomy forecast the season has started
off with a rush. The dally grain re
ceipts at this port have been unusually
high for this stage, several days run
ning as high as 75 oars. In this total.
wheat has been by far the largest Item.
MIRROR TO BE 'ROAD BUOY'
Oregon City May Install Reflector to
Avoid Accidents.
OREGON CITY Or Sept. 4. (Spe
cial.) The City Council will be urged
at the meeting Wednesday night to
erect a big mirror in the tunnel under
the Southern Pacific Railway tracks at
the junction of Third street and the
South End road. The Junction of the
roads form a right angle and a se
rious automobile accident occurred
there about a year ago. Other acci
dents of a similar nature have been
narrowly averted.
T. I Charman and M. J. Laxelle have
experimented with a large mirror at
the point where the roads join, and
declare a large one could be so ar
ranged that persons in vehicles going
in either direction would be able to
see If the road was clear. They will
ask the City Council to erect the mir
ror.

Mrs. Kruse, who fears her husband

he certainly was not In his right mind

CHICAGO, Sept. 4. President Mark
ham, of the Illinois Central Railroad,
ended today the hope of an Immediate
settlement of the labor difficulties of
the road by directing a letter to W. F.
Kramer, secretary of the International
Blacksmiths' Union, refusing to meet
representatives of the Federated Shop
Employes tomorrow.
The letter from the representatives
of the nine international unions In
volved, to which Mr. Markham's com
munication was a reply, was consid
ered by labor men to be in the nature
of an ultimatum.
The unions asked that Markham
meet the employes of the road as rep
resented by the system's federation.
Continuing, the letter warned that
unless the conference were granted by
10:30 Tuesday morning, September 5,
the unions would take necessary steps
to further their own Interests.
STRIKE SITUATION NOW TENSE
Illinois Central Deal Put Up to Em.
ployes' Chicago Representatives.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 4. The In
ternational presidents of the five shop
craft unions, now here, have delegated
their authority to enforce the ultima
tum presented by the Federation of
Shop Employes of the Illinois Central
to President Markham, to representa
tives -on the ground, who have been
conducting the Illinois Central negotia
tions, according to a statement to
night by President J. W. Kline, of the
Blacksmiths' Union.
'The affair Is entirely in the hands
of our representatives in Chicago,"
said Mr. Kline when told of President
Markham's refusal to meet representa
tives of the Federation of shop em
ployes tomorrow.
Mr. Kline asserted that he had not
been notified that the representatives
of the International presidents had
taken action as yet toward calling a
strike on the Illinois Central.
The situation is this," he continued.
"The Federation requested a meeting
with President Markham. It was re
fused.. Then the Federation again re
quested a meeting, accompanying the
request with an ultimatum demanding
favorable answer by 10:30 o'clock to
morrow morning.
"Does President Markham's refusal
mean that a strike will be called on
the Illinois Central V he was asked.
"I suppose it does if our representa
tives in charge deem it advisable to
carry out the ultimatum delivered to
President Markham."
When asked if the action of Mr.
Markham would have any effect on
the action of the advisory board of
the Federated Shop Employes of the
Harriman lines, when it meets herd
Friday, he replied.
"Of course if President Markham
has refused to meet representatives of
the Federation there would be some
thing doing."
While Mr. Kline denied that he had
heard of any action as yet regarding
the calling of a strike, he Intimated
that notices similar to the one said to
have been posted In the ?aducah, Ky.,
shops last night notifying union shop
men to hold themselves In readiness to
strike tomorrow without further
notice, probably will be posted
throughout the Illinois Central system
tomorrow.
