TIIE CITIZEN, FHIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1011. wm puis. Line on Defense to Save Young Virginian Leaks Out. MAY CALL CATHOLIC PRIEST. Attorneys For Man Aceuned of Mur dering Wife Will Attack Veracity of Paul Beattie's Testimony With View of Discrediting Story. Chesterfield Court House, Aiir. 22. Tug Immovable calmness of Beuttlo lu his light for llfo Is strikingly Illus trated. During the court recesses lie holds Joculnr chats with friends who gather about tho window of tho little room whero ho Is conflned. In tho course of ono of these conversations, one of his friends, nn Insurance ngent, remarked: "Henry, you had better lot me sell you 510,000 worth of life Insurance." "Better make It $100,000," came back the reply, "111 probably need It." And tho gathering laughed, Beattlo joining In heartily. Bculah Blnford has not appeared hero yet Sho may be called as a wit ness during tho trial, but as yet the pretty "girl In tho case" remains In a cell In Richmond, surrounded by pic tures of Beattlo she has no less than forty-live In the Jail reading the news paper extras nnd professing confidence of his acquittal. Although the Blnford girl Is not pres ent, a married sister of hers appeared on the courthouse lawn and was a center of interest Paul Beattlo, the prisoner's cousin, who has sworn that he purchased the gun with which Louise Weliord Owen Beattle was shot, is under Instructions to be ready to make the journey by automobile to Chesterfield. Tho star witness for the prosecution, Taul, has said little since his Incar ceration, but on his testimony the com monwealth hopes to send his twonty-slx-year-old cousin to the electric chair. Tho Blnford girl may bo called as a witness as tho trial progresses. To Virginia's credit it is noted that not one white woman was In court when the prisoner was indicted, and barring thoso who may bo called as witnesses, few of the women have so far attempted to crowd into tho little courtroom during the trial. It became known hero that Paul Beattlo will be tho weak spot in the case of the prosecution, at which Harry M. Smith and Hill Carter, two of Virginia's ablest lawyers, will aim tho big guns of their defense. The fact as claimed that Paul did not tell tho whole truth In his story of buying for Henry tho second hand shotgun with which tho killing was done will form the basis for tho cose of the defense. A Catholic priest may become tho lever with which the defense will try to pry Henry Beattle loose from tho death clasp of the electric chair. It has become known that the day his cousin was Indicted Paul Beattle, who Is n Catholic, summoned a priest to his cell In tho Henrico county Jail. Locked In his bosom that priest carries the se cret for which tho attorneys for the defense might give all tho wealth they could command. Tho hoavy pall of tho confessional surrounds tho story that Paul Beattle told tho priest, and it Is beyond the pale of the law. But the lawyers for the defense may call tho confessor to tho stand and place before tho Jury tho moral effect of tho priest s refusal to tell the story related by Paul Beattle. Tho strength of this course with a Jury of farmers can only be conjectured. Seven Jurors had been accepted when court opened today. The examination of others Is progressing slowly and It is probable that the Jury will not be gin hearing evidence before tomorrow. NOT TO BEAR FATHER'S NAME Infant Son of Beattle Is With Grand parents at Dover. Dover, Del., Aug. 22. Tbo eleven-weekB-old son of Henry Clay Beattle, Jr., on trial nt Chesterfield for the al leged murder of his wife, Is In Dover. The little ono was brought from New port News, Va., by its maternal grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert IC. Owen. It Is with them at their home here, and it is announced will remain hero during tho progress of the trial of its father for his life. Mr. Owen, tho grandfather, says it has not yet been decided what the little ono will bo named. It, how ever, will not bo called aftor its father, as was intended before the murder of tbo young wife and mother. The grandmother will rear the child no matter what the outcome of the case may be. Tho grandparents do not expect to attend the trial and will not do so unless either of them should be subpoenaed. TALE OF THE WEATHER.

KS THE COM TO ORDER WA Or. J. E. Buckley Would Have Mexico Invaded. HE SUES PRESIDENT TAFT. Chicago Physician Alleges That G:r many and Japan Are In Scheme to Land Troops Rights of Americans Endangered, He Says. President Toft has been surd In n court of. law to compel hini to perform administrative or, us lawyers would say, "ministerial" acts. Dr. James Ed ward Buckley, a practicing physician of Chicago, who has twice instituted proceedings ngainst Secretary of State Philander C, Knox, brought an action ngainst President Tuft in tho Wash-' Ington District supreme court and ask ed that a mandamus be issued to com pel the chief executive to show cause why he should not be compelled to di rect attention of congress to the con ditions in Mexico and recommended thilt an army for the conquest of that republic be promptly dispatched thith er by way of the gulf and the Pacific. Sees Invasion by Germany. This should be done, the complain ant states, to prevent a "ruinous war, which would entail the loss of the Philippines, the Hawaiian Islands and the canal," through the co-operation of tho Japanese now in Mexico with German troops. ' Dr. Buckley contemplates an Inva sion of Mexico by the Germans to "enforce the death penalty on Mexl aiis for the murder of German sub jects and an assault on a German wo man." The president must appear in court In person or by attorney if the court should entertnin-the complaint. Files tho Papers Personally. Tho suit was filed by the physician personally.' On Aug. 0 and again on Oct. :), both of last year, Dr. Buckle sued in the same court for a manda mus against Secretary of State Knox to compel him to iwrform certain acts. Both suits were dismissed. The president is accused of "iudiiTer once toward the life ami liberty of Americans and others residing in Mex Ico." It is declared that a week befoiv the last adjournment of congress the chief executive possessed information which would have justified an army and navy demonstration down there Ho demands to know Svhy congress was not informed about It. The send ing of the soldiery to Texas is charac terized as a political move. Visions of a Money Plot. The Diaz administration is called n "Wall street exporting a-gency," with Henry Tnft, brother of the president, as its "chief attorney." The president Is charged with having embarrassed and handicapped the insurgent party In Mexico by mobilizing the army on the frontier. The petition further states that tho Mexican situation has been "dovetailed with American money interests." Henry Taft is said to see things from a Wail street point of view, and the physician thinks ho "communicates his viewpoint to tho president" This, he declares, can be confirmed by Attorney General Wick ershnm, who is mentioned inthe peti tion as Henry Taft'stformer law part ner. Details of alleged holdups, robberies nnd other unlawful acts are set out in the petition. The cost of filing tho pe tition was $10, which Dr. Buckley paid. GOLD FOUND IN IDAHO. Chinese Trader Tells of Discovery Made on Exploration Trip. Placer ground rich In gold has been discovered in the Blackfoot district In northern Idaho, ninety-three miles southeast of Spokane, by Ah Yen, a Chinese trader, according to his state ments to olllclals of the United States customs house in Spokane on return ing from an exploration trip along the Wnshlngton-Idaho border. Tho deposits, which are four miles from a flowing stream and require not less than fifteen miles of flumes to convey water to tho gravel, were found more than thirty years ago by two Chinese prospectors, who were killed and robbed by a white man. Yen says that a woman who sewed tho poke to hold the miners' gold told tho rustler of tho find of the Chinese and urged him to locate claims. In stead he murdered the miners and car ried off their nuggets. WILSON IS SEVENTY-SIX. Oldest Member of Taft's Cabinet Has Held Office Since 1897. Secretary of Agriculture James Wil son, who Is the oldest member of the president's cabinet and who has held his portfolio since 1897, a longer period than any other cabinet officer In the history of the' government, recently observed the seventy-sixth anniver sary of his birth.

O0WN BY CALLOT S0E0T.3 OP PARIS. In many of the smartest styles for fall and winter there Is a decided lean ing toward adaptations of Egyptian and East Indian modes. The Callot Soours of Paris have for a number of years been noted for their Egyptian looking costumes. The gown illustrated Is a creation of this famous firm of couturiers, and the colorings are particularly Interesting. The foundation of tho dress Is of a peculiar East Indian red, veiled with a rather bright blue chiffon. The em broidery is done In dull blue nnd mauve silk and dark blue wooden beads. For Traveling. ' Take a candle in your bag nnd a box of safety matches. When they are wanted you will be glad they were put In. Tho space required for them Is small. A passenger on a steamer that was wrecked had a small candle which enabled her to colloct some of her most valuable possessions when the lights went out after the collision. Carry a few pens In your bag if you do not use a fountain pen. You will find that it is worth while, as the pens provided at some hotels and other pub lic places are often so bad that It Is Impossible to use them with any satis faction. Envelopes used in packing small ar ticles will be found hotter than boxes, as they take up less room. Stout, col lapsible envelopes, which may bo bought where- office supplies are sold, will be found satisfactory. Gloves, handkerchiefs, neck arrangements, etc., may be kept nicely In such envelopes.
