Result of Triangular Plot In Which
Husband, Cousin and Affinity
Played Part of Principals.
HAYTI SENDS HURRY CALL FOR YACHT AMERICAN
niCHMOND, Va., July an. That
tliu klllliiK of Mrs. Deattlo was the
result or a triangular plot In which
tho parties to the crime, was the hus
band and the cousin was tho allega
tion of tho police Thoy InslBt they
discovered discrepancies In the stor
Ioh told by Paul Beattle.
Paul said ho told tho pawnbroker
from whom ho bought tho shotgun
which killed Mrs. Brattle tnai no
wanted It for some one else. Jacob
Wclnstrlu, H years old. son of the
pawnbroker insists that Paul said:
"I want this for work as watchman
on n brldgo"
Young Wetnstcln says ho told Paul
that ho did not need a gun because
ho would never Bhoot anyone, and
that Paul replied: "Don't you believe
that. I've got tho nerve, all right."
Discarding their former theory
that Beattlo killed his wife, the po
llco now bcllevo that Henry Beattle
confided to his cousin that he want
ed to get hid of his wife and Paul
round a man who did the killing for
money.
A report that Henry Beattle and
his wife quarreled the night before
that on which tho tragedy occurred;
that on tho evening of the crime Beat
tlo made up an dthen urged her to
take an automobile ride with him Is
under investigation by tho police.
Beattlo appears to enjoy tho at
tention iio is attracting and devours
long newspaper accounts of his wife's
murder and of tho evldenco which
has been developed against him. His
parents took their son's child by the
murdered woman to their home at
Dover, Del.

taken up with Semetury of the In
ferior Fisher y Representative. Luf-
ferty of Oregon, according to an an
nouncement made by Lnfferty hero
today.
Without waiting for a formal do
main! from his eoustitueuts, Lnffofty
scoured n eopy of the big petition
now circulating in Oregon which du
mauds tho opening and mining of tho
coal fields by tho go eminent at cost,
and conferred with Fisher concern
ing it.
"I requested the aid of theiuterior
department in tho preparation of a
bill along these lines," said Iifferty,
"and received every assurance that
every possible aid would he extended.
Tho government used to sell, give
nway or allow some cororntiou to
steal its coal Innds. I believe now
that it should open up the deMsits
and sell tho coal directly to the peo
pie."
i ue uregou nctitum (locomtucnus

bunkers nt the principal ports in Or

sufficient to provide n sinking fund
to carry out the project.

Buy Coal Now
Now Is tho time to buy your coal
for winter.
Soma reasons why:
Because you can get bo cheaper
now.
Two months from now tho rail
roads will bo rushed and cars will
bo short. Tho mines will bo over-run
with ordors, and tho dealer can't
buy it. Rock Spring coal is cheaper
than any wood you can buy. Wo
will deliver your coal rgbt Into your
bin. If you buy a cord of wood you
havo to havo It sawed and split,
flung Into your shed and tied up, and
then you havo no heat when you go
to burn it. I have plenty of coal
on hand now. Come down to my of
