Sampeck's New Fall
Clothes Are In
The past week has kept us busy unpack
ing the new fall clothe6, and mor are arriv
ing daily.
The favorite this fall is to be the rather
close fitting coat, with long soft roll collar
distinctively an English model. They come in
a variety of rich patterns which will be ex
clusive with Sampeck clothes.
You'll be just as welcome here if you're
"just looking around," as though you pur
chase it's a genuine pleasure to show such
clothes as ours. Better drop in Saturday and
look them over.
We still have a number of light and medium weight suits on
which the prices are considerably reduced for Immediate wear they're
a mighty good Investment.

FRANCE IS DRAFTING DEMANDS
Cabinet Outlining Nation's Position
in Moroccan Affair.
EI NATURE OF AN ULTIMATUM
Both Franc and Germany Are Carry
Ins on War Preparation. Doaat
aa a Diplomatic
Maneuver.
PARIS, Am. 25 A cabinet counell was
held today, whan the course of tha Trench
negotiation with Germany over the Mo
roccan dispute were unanimously approved,
as were tha instructions to Jules Cambon,
tha French ambassador to Germany, as
drawn up by M. Da Selves, tha minister Of
foreign affairs, and Ambassador Cambon,
after long conferences, In which Premier
Calllaux. M. La Brun, the minister of
colonies, and M. Cruppi, tha minister of
Justice, participated.
The Instructions to M. Cambon contain,
according to an earlier announcement, the
maximum term which Franca will offer
to Germany In order to reach a settlement.
The council convened at 10 o'clock under
tha presidency of the premier, and Imme
diately began a consideration of tha In
atructlona which had been submitted by
President Falllere at Ramboulllet yester
day by the premier.
The ministers entered tha cabinet room
at the ministry of the interior in a spirit
of much gravity, for it had been felt
throughout tha week that the decision of
the cabinet today would have a serious Im
port tor France.
The session of; the council lasted two and
one-half hours, a portion of tha sitting
being occupied with Other matters.
The council adjourned to meet on Au
gust Si at Rambouillet under tha presi
dency of President Fallleras. Although tha
instructions cannot be regarded a sug.
seating sn ultimatum, ytt an important
step has been taken toward a rupture or
an accord, depending on how the German
government receives the proposals.
Both Franc and Germany are carrying
on war preparations and each power ap
pears willing that the other should know It.
Doubtless as a diplomatic maneuver there
Is a little rattling of the saber to show
mutual earnestness.
Nevertheless In a time of tension such as
this war must be among the contingencies
considered by statesmanship. The word
"war" Is used more frequently this week
in the conversation of serious Frenchmen
than it has t'een used In any previous
period since 1908.
Generally It Is used Interrogatively in
the sense that "Can it be possible that wa
must fight?" and "Is Germany pushing
us Into war?"

More than 90 per cent of the shopman are
in favor of going on a strike unless this
demand Is granted. Nothing will be don

' with two setbacks at the opening of court
Watson
her todav. Judae Walter A.
.-.mi tnntlnn to exclude the
Dear kid ' letter written by Beattie to
Bulah Blnford wd Introduced yesterday
and followed this by denying a motion
which questioned tne wording of the Indict
ment as to the wound being In the "face"
instead of the kuI1 or brain of the victim
a shown by the autopsy.
George Jarrell, a Richmond detective,
was called as th first witness. H; ss as
sociated in investigating the ceu. with
Detectives Wiltshire and Wrenn. who testi
fied yesterday afternoon. Jarrell was put
on the stand to complete for the prosecu
tion the description of the scene of the
crime, the prisoner's description and story
of the bearded highwayman.
Court convened at 10 30 o'clock. The
crowd was even larger than yesterday and
hundreds gathered about the yard to catch
a glimpse of Paul Beattie. the common
wealth's chief witness. The prisoner was
dressed In a neat blue suit, having dis
carded the gray one he had worn hereto
fore. Defenae L,oe Two Polat.
Before any witnesses were called H. M.
8mith. jr., for th defense, objected to the
Introduction yesterday of Beattie letter to
Bulah Blnford, Identified by the prisoner at
the coroner's Inquest. As Beattie was not
then under arrest the defense cited a ruling
barring the use at the trial of testimony not
In the defendant's own behalf and given by
him while a witness previously.
Notwithstanding Mr. Smith's argument
the court ruled that the letter should not
be excluded.
Hill Carter, for the defense, then took up
the point thar the Indictment against Beat
tie refers to a wound In Louise Beattie' a
"face" rather than to the skull or brain
and that all testimony relating to a wound
other than in the face should be excluded.
But the court held that Inasmuch ss the
indictment specified penetration of the face
there was no ground tor sustaining defense's
contention.
Detective Deeerlbea Scene of Crime.
Detective Jsrrell. called to tne stand, re
lated the prisoner's story of the roadway
encounter and testified that Beattie said
his wife's assailant ran Into the wooda.
Thomas Owen, Beattie's uncle-ln-law, testi
fied that the defendant had told him that
the man ran up the road. .
The proaecutlon offered a map 'of the
scene of the crime on the Midlothian turn
pike, the defense Immediately objecting to
Its Introduction. Jarrell was asked to de
scribe where the blood spot was found.
"About In the center of the road."
"How far from the left hand running
board of the car?"
"About twelve or eighteen inches."
. "Was It possible for a human being in
the car ?"
"We object," cried the defense, and the
objection was sustained.
Counsel asked the witness If there was
any blood on the gun found near the scene
of the crime.
"Yes. sir, there was." said Jarrell.
In describing the bloody car, the witness
took the view of Detective Wijuhlre and
Wrenn, who testified yesterday that blood
could not have run through the machine to
the ground.
"Did you aee the accused weep on the
night of the murder?"
"No, air. I did not." ,
The court cautioned the witness to ex
press no opinion as to Beattie' grief, but
to relate simply what he saw.
Hound Fall to Find Scant.
Major James D. Patton of Richmond, who
went to the seen on th day following the
murder with, bloodhounds, teatlfied that the
dogs failed to take any soent of th alleged
bearded highwayman. He told Beattie's
version of the encounter, which differed
but slightly from the accounts previously
testified to. There was no blood on the
gun, he said. Beattie had told him that
he was not sure whether the man fled along
the road or through the woods. N. W.
Sydnor of Richmond, who took a second
set of bloodhounds to the scene followed
Major Patton on the stand.
"Did ou find any footprints in the
ditch along the road?"
"Tea, sir. there were three, pretty close
and to the west side of a stump."
"Did you talk with the accused?"
The witness said he did. He related
Beattie's account of tow his wife was
killed, saying that Beattie had told him
that the assailant fired from the right.
Other witnesses had testified that the man
stood on tha 1-ft.
Arost-examined by the defense, Sydnor
laid he had examined the stump ecd tracks,
but the tracks might have been made by
some of those who inspected- the Surround
ings.
"Did you examine 'Beattie shoulder to
see if there waa any bruise that na,ght
have been made by the kick of a gun? '
"Ye, sir. I did and found no marks,
aid 8ydnor.
Neaa-eaa Find Oss.
Mandy Alexander, an old negress, waa
then called to teatif aa to the finding of
the gun.
She waa dressed la blue calico and -wore
a big straw hat. BeatUe eyed her closely
and smiled.
"Did you find a gun on the railroad
track near where Mr. Beattie was mur
dered?"
"Ye, sir." ssld Mandy, with a drawl.
"about 4 or I o'clock in the morning after
the murder."
The gun was handed to her and she Iden
tified It
She related how she bad met T. P. Petti-
grew, a whit farmer, and had told him of
bar find.
Jerry Reynolds, a negro, told of picking
up the gun after Mandy had gone, but
soon met Pettigrew and turned it over to
him. The negro ideniltled the gun.
Cross-questioned by the defense, Jerry
said be had seen no automobile tracks near
the spot where he picked up the gun,
Beattie's story is that he tore the weapon
from the highwayman grasp and threw
it into the back part of the automobile,
from which it Jarred out in crossing the
railroad track. The prosecution will at
tempt to ahow that he hurled the weapon
from the car with the hope that it might
be destroyed by a paaalng train.
Luncheon recess.
It became known here today that Beat-
tie's lawyer had received a letter from J
S. Minor, a contractor of Louisville, Ky.
who y that two men whom he can nr
hap produce told him they were walking
along the Midlothian turnpike on the night
of July If when they aaw a man with
gun across th track. Surh testimony
would tend to support Beattie's version
of the highwayman, but from what could
be learned today the defense pieces little
faith In the atory.

RULING IN SEWARD CASE
i
State Railway Commission Decide
One Phone Exchanc Should Bo
Unit oc Servle. '
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 28 (SpectaO-ln
the matter of a complaint against tne
Seward County Telephone company the
State Railway commission has given out
a ruling which is of some Importance to
the different systems over the state. The
contention waa made that the Seward
county company gave county aervice' u
subscribers entitled to have only city ser
vice, aocordmg to telephone rentals paid
by them. . The .charge for the reeidenc
telephone in the city waa II and tor tni
business phone $1.80. With the addition 0
so cents to th residence phones and V
to the business phones the patrons were
given the chance to have country servtc.
without further payment.
Pertinent points in the ruling, which It
not to be construed' ss an order, are a
follow:
Under the blanket rate the commission
haa not been able to devise any piar
whereby a telephone company can be pro
tected from abuses of the privilege, con
sequently, we believe that tne solution o
this problem Is that one exchange should
be the unit ef exchange service (until suet
time as all telephone service ia placed or
a measured basis), and that all other ser
vice should be covered by a toll charg
which should be remunerative but not bur
dentome.
Condition are so varied and practice?
of giving added exchange free, are so prev
alent in this state at the preeent time, tha
we believe an attempt to eliminate free
service or the practice of giving added ax
chang service on a flat rate would s(
disorganize the telephone business a tc
almost create a chaotic condition. How
ever, we believe it Is to the interests of
both the telephone companies and their
patrona to gradually abandon auoh Prac
tices, and In the future, discourage the
establishment or tma service, tnus making
it possible for the commission to issue an
order covering the same without Injustice
to patron now using it.

YOUNG MAN WANTS PROPERTY
Bsrl Ureon of Lone Tree Seeke to
Reeover Lota He Say He Deeded
Away aa n Minor.
CENTRAL CITT. Neb., Aug. 26 -An in
teresttng ult haa been started in the die
trlct court this week In which a young man
seeks to recover property which he deeded
away while a minor and for which he
claims he received no consideration. Earl
Larcom is the plaintiff, and through hla
attorneys, Patterson & Patterson, h
brings suit to recover from Earl McHargue
et al. title to a one-half interest in lota 4
and 7 of block S in the original town of
Lone Tree. The allegation Is that Henry
Larcom formerly owned a half interest in
this property. He died and the property
descended to hia son. Earl Larcom. When
Earl waa but 15, so the petition alleges, he
was Induced by his grandfather, William
Larcom, to sign a' quit claim deed for thin
property , to Earl McHargue. Now Earl
Larcom has become of age and he begtns
suit to recover either a one-half Interest
in thla property or Its cash equivalent, and
also his share of the rental and profit
from th land since tbe time that he deeded
it away. He claims that he was inducd
by his arandfather to sign the deed, not
knowing what h was doing, and that h
received no consideration whatever. The
lots in controversy are occupied by a house
and barn and are of considerable value
