Tlie Fulton County News McConnellsburg, Pa. FAITHLESS CORN. 1 Corn has decided to do without the respect and admiration of the people. The promise of the crop at the period following early seeding was unex celled, and every eater of meat and eggs in the land could congratulate himself that tbia promise waa equal to the realization of last year. The immense crop of 1910 had cheapened food considerably, and another large one this year would have bad a ten dency to settle prices for a couple of years or more, provided no real shortage occurred In the crops of those years, saw the Providence Jour nal But the current stock of Informa tion about the 1911 crop makes the prospects for such a substantial ar rangement for trade and business wherever dependent on the crop any thing but bright Deef and hogs, with poultry, will be the corn-eaters most directly affected. There Is danger of repetition of the highest prices for them, and of the possible maximum Charge once more for eggs and fresh fowls. Three months ago the promise under which these all have been sold lnce last rail brought a large supply of cheap corn into the market Today tba Indications are of a rise to the figures of last summer and of Septem ber and October of last year. It Is pos sible that the warm weather and drought conditions have not seriously hurt the crop and that the quotations for corn will fall off correspondingly when the real facts are shown to be more propitious. Among the other interesting pieces of news set afloat this summer is one coming from the shoemakers of Bos tion to the effect that women's feet ere growing larger. The shoemakers do not like this, as more leather Is thus required for every pair of shoes turned out Chicago, having beard the word from Boston, has explanations ready. A large retailer of woman's footgear in the Windy City admits that women's feet are growing larger, but says this Is due to outings and athletics. For several years, he de clares, women have been taking more exercise, doing more walking, playing more games. Lest year there died In the United States of pulmonary tuberculosis bout 180,000 people!

To DIE IN CHAIR NOV. 24 The Defence Will File Petition For Writ Of Error To Suprtmt Court Of Appeals Receives Ver dict Unmoved. Chesterfield Courthouse, Va. Twelve Virginia farmers kr.clt at dusk Friday night In the obscurity of the small Jury-room of Chesterfield Courthouse, praying fervently that they might pass judgment aright on Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., indicted for the murder of his wife. Grimly de termined they arose a moment later and silently, one by one, recorded a unanimous verdict of "guilty." Pausing in solemn contemplation for 68 minutes, weighing carefully the meaning of their decision and once more on bended knees beseech ing Divine assistance that they might not err, they filed Into the hushed stillness of a crowded courtroom, and with startling suddenness 12 voices, instead of the usual one of the fore man, spoke the single word "guilty." It was almost a shout. The spectre of death, which stalk ed Midlothian turnpike on July 18 last, when the life of Mrs. Louise Owens Beattle was taken away with the single report of a Bhotgun, stared hard at the young husband ready to claim his victim by electrocution on Friday, November K. next. But the prisoner returned the ga?e, unswerv ing and unafraid. To Court of Appeal. Th Court of Appeals, to be sure, will be asked to grant a writ of error and a new trial. Young Beattle, cognizant of the legal weapons yet at his disposal, did not surrender. In stead, he consoled his broken-down father, white-haired and wrinkled. and comforted him as he wnisperea "I haven't lost yet, father." t'nnaual as has been the tragedy and the gruesome stage where it oc rwTTtta the 12 jurymen did not hesi tate to admit to their friends that they stood In judgment not only over the cold-blooded murder but upon his marital Infidelity as well. it nerhaDs was the dramatic climax nf vire-inla iustlce which in the last half century has swiftly sent to death such famous murderers as Cluverius, Phillips and McCue. At the close of a powerful address by L. O. Wendenburg, the voluntary assistant of the Commonwealth In the case, the suspense was felt not alone In the courtroom, but In Richmond. where thousands of people awaited the outcome. BOY TRsES TO R03 BANK Cashier's Shots Save Cash of Laurel, (Md.) Institution. Laurel. Md. John R. Morgan, 17 ears old. of Flncastle, Va., made a bold nttempt Friday morning to rob the Citizens' National Bank of Laurel. The attempt failed and the would- be bandit was captured hiding In tho town about an hour and a half later. When first arrested he gave the name of Henry Jackson and said he was from Arizona. He was committed to the Marlboro jail by Justice George P. McCeney to await the action of the Jury at the next term of the Prince George's County Court. That Morgan did not succeed In setting the bank's cash was not due to any lack of nerve, but rather to the crudeness of his methods. Those were only worthy a boy of his years. In many respects the attempt to Innt the hank in this auiet place In broad daylight reads like the thrill ing narrative to be found between the backs of some cheap yellow- covered novel. Morgan had been seen loitering near the bank before Its doors open ed. He had on a long linen duster, such as is used by atitomoblllats, and n blue caD. He stood on a corner apparently reading a paper, with a bundle wrapped In newspapers under his arm. No one heeded him as he seemed harmless. Still Haa Money To Give Chicago. Dr. D. K.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS (Copyrlklil. 101 L State Executives All Headed for Spring Lake, N. J. mm IKES A RECORD Trip From Annapolis to Washington. V0LAPLANED TO THE MALL Lieut John Rogers Unannounced Started on the first Ambitious Flight Made by an Army or Navy Aviator. Washington. Lieut. John Rogers, of the Navy, son of Rear Admiral Rogers, retired, of Havre de Grace, Md., flew in a Wright aeroplane from Annapolis, Md., to Washington, paid his respects to naval officials here and sailed to the Army aviation field at College Park, Md., where he housed his machine for the night. The flight was the most successful cross-country effort yet made by an officer of the Navy or Army. Between Annapolis and College Park, while sailing along at 3,000 feet In the air, his barograph showed he struck a severe windstorm, and the frail air craft was buffeted about by the winds for 20 minutes. It was all the officer could do to keep from ; being thrown from the seat of the machine, and had it not been for the fact that he kept a cool head he would probably have been dashed to the earth and instantly killed. As it was, the machine at times stood at an agle of nearly 60 degrees, and farmers who witnessed the per formance marveled. When the wind ceased the machine righted Itself from what might have been called the trough of the air and then sped onward. The aviator passed over College Park and the army men sta tioned there were at a loss to ex plain the strange aeroplane. The trip to Washington was mado in one hour and twenty minutes and Lieutenant Rogers arrived over the city when the streets were crowded with shoppers and government clerks, Just released from their of fices. All traffic was stopped as the aviator sailed overhead. He circled the downtown section of the city sev eral times, executing that dangerous descent known as the spiral dip. The I crowd in the streets held Its breath and wondered at the exhibition. Finally the sky pilot came down to about GOO feet above the ground and then he circled the Washington Monument, flew out over Pennsyl vania avenue and then back to the Mall, where he alighted. The flight was the first ever made from the new school of aviation to this city, and In fact It Is the first flight ever made by a naval officer to amount to anything. THIRTY-TWO WERE DROWNED Wreok of the Chilian Steamer Tucapel Near Qullca. Lima, Peru. A telegram received here from the purser of the Chilian steamer Tucapel, which was wrecked near Qullca, says that the total num ber of persons drowned was 32. Ninety others were saved. - Those who lost their lives were the captain of the vessel, the first and second officers, 20 members of the crew and nine deck passengers. The Tucapel during a heavy fog struck on an unchartered stretch of rocks 20 miles north of Qullca, which lies several hundred miles south ot Lima. Lays Two Eggs Dally. Athol, Mass. Townspeople chal lenged the statement of Albert Ells worth, a prominent citizen, that Mary Hooker, his prize buff Orpington, laid two eggs every day. To prove It Eflsworth appeared at the Athol Fair and placed the hen on some Btraw at the feet of the Judges. She laid two eggs, one of them double-yolked, chirped a triumphant cackle and dis dainfully strode away. Hundreds of visitors to the city applauded the Orpington's vindication of her owner. Aaka Indictment. Kittanlng, Pa. For the first time in the history of the local courts, a lawyer has petitioned for a bill ot Indictment against his own client. At torney W. L.

Since his release so many rumors have been circulated that Golden asks for a full trial E WINS AT LAST Burgess Finally Swims the English Channel. BATTLE WITH THE TIDE It Was Hla Sixteenth Attempt and He Won Out Only After a Desperate Effort Was Twenty-two Hours In the Water. Deal, England. After a lapse of 36 years Capt. Matthew Webb's feat of swimming the English channel has been duplicated by Wm. T. Burgess, a Yorkshire man by birth and a naturalized Frenchman. It was Burgess' sixteenth attempt, he having first essayed the task in 1904. Burgess started from South Fore land, Dover, at 11.15 o'clock Tues day morning. He landed at Le Chatelet, a little village two miles east of Cape GrlB Nez, at 9.60 o'clock Wednesday morning, accomplishing the passage In 22 hours and 35 min utes. A motor boat accompanied the swimmer, and It is estimated that Burgess, owing to the xig-zag course he was compelled to take because of the baffling tides, covered 60 miles. Soon after the start a dense fog set tled down over the channel, and no further tidings of his progress were received until the announcement was made that he had successfully accora- j plished the task and landed on the 'trench side. Throughout the trip Burgess was favored by a calm sea, but a strong tide was running, and a severe strain was put on the swimmer to get past the Goodwin Sands. Twice he was attacked by sickness and several times was only held to his task by the strongest will power and the en couraging words of the men In the 1 boat. ENVOY WEDS BY PROXY Or. Forros In Washington, Bride In Costa Rica Groom Could Not Get Home. Washington. Dr. Belisarlo Por ras, minister from Panama to Wash ington, was married in San Jose, Costa Rica, laBt week. Dr. Porras was not present at the ceremony, be ing now In Washington. His place at the altar was taken by a trusted friend, who responded In his name to the questions in the marriage cere mony, placed the ring on the bride's finger and afterward signed the name of Dr. Porras in the marriuge regis ter. In other words, the almost medieval ceremony of a "marriage by proxy" was observed. Senora Porras will be in Washington next October to meet her husband, and in defer ence to modern thought there will be another marriage ceremony In this city. The second ceremony, how ever, is unnecessary, because the mar riage ceremony performed in San Jose is wholly legal and is recognized as legal and binding by both the state and the church. , $1OO,0CO For Telescopes San Francisco.

PRESEVERANC E PEACE1REATIES Roosevelt Attacks Pending Agreement. DECLARES IT A HYPOCRISY Country Would Repudiate It When ever Suggestion Was Made That It Refer Question of National Honor to Ou. aiders. New York. Former President Roosevelt deals with the arbitration treaties recently presented to the Senate In an editorial article appear ing In "Outlook." He says In part: "It Is one of our prime duties as a nation to seek peace. It is an even higher duty to seek righteousness. It is also our duty 'not to Indulge In sham, not to make belitfve we are getting peace by some patent con trivance which sensible men ought to know cannot work In practice, and which if we sought to make it work might cause Irretrievable harm. "I sincerely believe In the prin ciple of arbitration; I believe In ap plying that principle so far as prac ticable; but I believe that the effort to apply It where It Is not practicable cannot do good and may do serloua harm. Confused thinking and a willingness to substitute wiords for thought, even though Inspired by an entirely amiable sentimentality, do not tend toward sound action." Mr. Roosevelt cites the Revolu tionary War, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War as Instances In which "we put righteousness above peace." He also cites the ex isting arbitration treaties between the United States, Great Britain and France as better than the proposed treaty, because they make no falBe pretenses and exclude questions af fecting our vital Interests, Independ ence or honor. He continues: "The wording of the treaty Is so loose, It so lacks expllcltness, as to allow one set of Its advocates to an nounce that It binds us to arbitrate everything, and another set to say that under It we would not have to arbitrate anything we did not wish to. Now, no moral movement is per manently helped by hypocrisy. "It Is our duty, so far Is now pos sible, so far as human nature In the present day world will permit, to try to provide peaceful substitutes for war as a method for the settle ment of International disputes. But progress in this direction Is merely hindered by the folly that believes In putting peace above righteousness. "The history of our country the peace advocates who treat peace as mere righteousness will never be, and never have been, of service, oithpr to it or to mankind. The true lovers of peace,, the men who have really helped onward the movement fnr npnre. have been those who fol lowed even though afar off. In the footsteps of Washington and Lincoln, nini tstood for righteousness as the supreme end of national life. "Only by acting on tnese prin inion. onlv bv following In the foot steps of these great Americans In the nnRt. can we of the present genera tion work for and secure the peace of righteousness."

Raising of the Maine. UNDERTAKER'S EXPERIENCE Seaman on the Eattleshlp Connec'.k cut Too Everything They Could Find rVo.b d American Who Wanted A Skull. Washington. Mr. Oliver E. Jen kins, an undertaker, has returned to this city from Havana, where he was employed by the government to pre pare for burial the remains of the sailors who were killed by the ex plosion of the battleship Maine. Mr. Jenkins stated that at present the weather Ib such as to make It Impos sible to search the wreck for bodies. There are times, he said, when the water and the spray dash 100 feet high. Mr. Jenkins Is out-spoken in his criticism of morbid Americans who seek to obtain souvenirs of the tragedy. "There were people In Havana, said he, "who would have taken any thing from the Maine Just to have a souvenir of the wreck. I met one man who told me that there was Just one thing he would like to get off the Maine, and that was the skull of some sailor or officer. I told him that if ever he got a skull off that ship he would have to take mine with It. I never knew that Americans were so forgetful of respect for the dead." Mr. Jenkins stated that no one was allowed on board the Maine, because of this fear of relic-hunters. He commented sharply on the conduct of the men from the battleship Con necticut, the ship which brought Sec retary Stlmson to Havana from Panama, and then brought him up to Washington. "I never was so sur prised and disappointed," aald Mr. Jenkins, "when I found that those American sailors were themselves ransacking the battleship from end to end for souvenirs. They broke Into boxes and pried open desks and tried to carry away everything that wasn't actually nailed down. "We found 11 bodies under the turret which had been blown over by the force of the explosion. They were men who had laid down there for a nan. In the pantry we found the body of a boy leaning over a dishwasher. Lieutenant Merrltt's body we found In the wardroom. Al- togther we have found 27 bodies so far."
