ed on Its starting place today Just 200
miles from the finishing point in New

"A day's run if I wanted to mnko
it , " said Atwood. "But I am uncertain

At the start today , Atwood was fifty-
eight miles from Albany , whlclu ho

The capture took place inside Turkish

gendarmes was killed. Letters from
Lallos , the bandit leader , demanding
a ransom were delivered to Turkish
villagers.
The German government acted
promptly and a small part of Turklsl
soldiers were sent in pursuit of the
band. At the same time representa

All but two of the juiors are farmers.

but with sixteen necessary In order
that the defense may exercise Its
right of lour peremptory challenges ,
the trial of Henry Clay Bcattle , jr. ,
charged with wife murder , was re
sumed here today before Judge Walter
A. Watson of the Chesterlleld circuit
court.
The day was set aside solely for the
completion of the jury , all witnesses
having been excused until tomorrow ,
so that when court convened there
was nothing before It except the ex
amination of the thirty talesmen , sum
moned yesterday from the highways
and byways of Chesterfield county.

The Bluford girl , who declared yes

for the trip to Chesterfield. Silent and
morose , Paul Beattle stood in the corridor

As usual Henry Beattle spent an
unbroken night of sleep and dressed
carefully for the trip to Chesterfield.
He looked worried and a bit pale , but
wore the same air of confidence that

day.
Henry Clay Beattle , sr. , father of
the prisoner , was again at his son's
side during the day's proceedings.
Grief stricken , the father says little ,
but evidences are that ho will fight
hard to save his boy from the electric
chair.
Tird of His Wife ?
More than seventy-five witnesses
have been subpoenaed by the prose
cution and nearly thirty by the de
fense. The commonwealth will at
tempt to show that Beattle , tired of
his wife , murdered her In order that
he might resume his attentions to the
Binford girl.
The defense will maintain that no
one saw the motor car tragedy ; that
the prisoner's version of his wife be

true and that Paul Beattie , who says
that he purchased for Henry the gun

Is not likely that Beulah Blnford will

Henry Beattle absolutely refuses to

jj No Quarrels With Wife.
Several persons who live near the

scene of the crime will be called to

story of the prisoner is that his wife

bearded man in the road , and that he

BAKERS SHOULD HAVE

PROVIDED APPRENTICE
SYSTEM A CURSE. "
Kansas City , Aug. 23. Education in
the sciences for bakers "that they may
know the why as well as the how of
the breadmaklng business , " was advo
cated by Prof. G. L. Teller of the Co
lumbus laboratories , Chicago , address
ing the third day's session of the Na
tional Association of Master Bakers
here today. Prof. Teller proposed that
technical education for bakers be giv
en In connection with college courses
In the same way that agriculture
courses are given.
"The Instruction of a course in bak
ing should be founded on the best that
can be taken out of all the sciences , "
Prof. Teller said. "In no other indus
try can Instruction of this kind bo
given more readily than in baking.
The tendency in baking is no longer
for the pupil to follow In the footsteps
of the master , carrying out the same
dally routine. It Is the greatest of
blessings that the apprentice system
of learning a trade has largely gone
out of business. "

ROOSEVELTJUT-OF RAGE
In Emphatic Terms , Declares He Will
Not Be a Candidate.
Pittsburg , Pa. , Aug. 23. Col. Theo
dore Roosevelt will not be a candi
date for the republican nomination for
president In 1912.
All the planning of the Roosevelt
admirers on the one hand and the en
emies of President Taft on the other
will be of no avail , as the ex-president
has firmly set his foot down on all
movements to have him head the na
tional republican ticket In the next
campaign.
Alexander P. Moore , editor of the
Pittsburg Leader , an enthusiastic
friend and supporter of Col. Roosevelt ,
recently wrote a letter to the ex-pres
ident regarding the proposal to have
him again head the republican ticket.
Editor Moore , on the return of Col.
Roosevelt from his African trip , led a
great gathering of Pittsburg admirers
I of the mighty hunter to New York ,
where they greeted the colonel at the
pier. Mr. Roosevelt also made a short
visit to Pittsburg afterward on one of
'his ' trips , at the invitation of Mr.
Moore , so that the Pittsburg editor is
close enough to Mr. Roosevelt to as
certain his wishes.
The Leader editor has received the
following letter :
"Tho Outlook , 287 Fortieth avenue ,

"I feel that I have a right o nsk nl

work to prevent any such movement

if such a movement were undertaken
"Again thanking you for what yoi
have said , and moreover thanking yoi

this matter , as I know you will do ,

Itlont Taft this morning. AH the vot-
onuis endeavored to keep step to the

Scores of the old soldiers could not

HOODLUMS ATTACK JEWS.
Victims of Riots In England are
Among Respected Townspeople.
London , Aug. 23. In the opinion of.
Jewish residents here , the riots at
Tredgar and other Welsh mining
towns were indirectly , if not directly ,
duo to the strike ferment and once
labor troubles have vanished , the pres
ent Jewish feeling will dlo a natural
death. Those who hold the opinion
are none the less anxious , because )
there are 100,000 Jewish residents In
London and many thousands In va
rious parts of the kingdom and the
Jews therefore have regarded them
selves as safe from persecution In
Great Britain. *
Newport , Monmouthshire , England ,
Aug. 23. The anti-Jewish rioting at
Tredgar and adjacent towns was al
most entirely the work of hoodlums
who have obtained a strong foothold
in those places because the forces of
police stationed there are small. The
Jews who suffered attacks wore among
the most respected townspeople and
they Indignantly deny the charge of
demanding high rents and BO far aa
can bo ascertained the complaints
against them of exacting exorbitant
prices are unfounded. }
