KANSAS Crrr, Aug. 34.-A conference
Between the International presidents ot
five great labor organizations to consider

may Involve railroad employes throughout
the Harriman system. Is to be held In
this city next Monday, according to M.
F. Ryan, International preeldent of the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, whose
office Is here.
"It looks like a big strike, unless the
management of the Harriman system con
sents to confer with union leaders," said
Mr. Ryan. Several months ago. five big
labor organisations decided to cease deal
ing with railroads separately and banded
together. They asked the railroads to
treat with them as a unit. Many roads
consented, but the Harriman lines re
fused." Mew Are Still at Work.
SAN FBJLNCISCO. Aug. 24.-Rumors In
circulation In the east to the effect that
shopmen of the Southern Pacifio railroad
had decided to strike on protest, against
the oompany'a reduction of Its clerical
force and other reasons are without foun
dation so far aa the Pacifio system of the
company goes. The men are today at
work at all shops, and It Is said their in
tention apparently Is to remain at work,
at least until the committee sent to confer
with the company officials in Chicago, or
If necessary. In New York, makes Its re
port. A message from President Franklin of
the Boilermakers' International union to
El L. Reguin, president of the federation,
received today, stated that the committee
had been refused a hearing In Chicago by
Vice President Kruttschnitt of the Harri
man system. If no recognition could be
obtained Reguin said a strike vote would
undoubtedly result.
To declare a strike a vote on the ques
tion Is necessary. A two-thirds majority
of each union la needed before a walkout
can be called.
President Reguin says that the men were
firm In their demand for an eight-hour
day. The other, demands', are ebo table.
The recognition of the federation appar
ently Is the main point Insisted on.
So far conditions are quiet In the Harri
man shops.

The heads of the other unions are work

BEATTIE ON TRIAL FOR LIFE
Uncle of Murdered Young- Woman is
the First Witness.
STORY OF BLOOD-STAINED BODY
Defendaat He-turned to Hla Haaae
with Corpse aa Hoar After He
Had Left it Aatosnoblle Is
Broaarht Into Court Yard.
CHESTERFIELD, Court House. Aug.
34. The bloodstained automobile in which
Louise Owen Beattie met her death waa
driven into the yard of Chesterfield court
house early today Jim before the trial of
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., Indicted for wife
murder, was resumed. The prisoner waa
on the lawn when the machine arrived and
he calmly inspected It. Hia father raised
the cushion of the front Beat, revealing a
mass of coagulated blood on the woodwork.
The court convened at 10:80 o'clock and
the prisoner took his st promptly. Today
was the. first anniversary of hia marriage
to the woman he is accused of killing.
More than sixty, witnesses subpoenaed by
the commonwealth were called from the
lawn, aworn in and Instructed to remain
onrntdo near the court house, but not near
enough to hear testimony through the open
windows. With a few exceptions both
aides agTeed to exclude all witnesses from
the room while not testifying.
Mrs. Beetle's Vnrle Kirs WHneee.
Thomas Owen, uncle of. Mrs. Beattie, to
whose home thhe prisoner brought tne
body after the tragedy, took the witness
stand first.
While the prisoner gazed at him. Mr.
Owen told how Beattie drove up to the
houae on the night of the murder, took his
young wife Into the car and returned an
hour later with the dead body beside him.
He said Beattie cried "My God! My ,fkd!"
as he drove up, and that Beattie shouted
"They have killed Louise." Briefly and
simply Mr. Owen told how the body was
lifted from the car, but said he did not ex
amine the body at the time. When it was
prepared for burial, however, he saw the
wound In the left cheek, which he de
scribed aa being as "big as a half dollar."
Aa the witness said tbla, Beattie mumbled
"half dollar" loud enough for those near
to him to hear.
Beattle's blood soaked clothes were un
rolled before the Jury and the witness Iden
tified them. The single barreled shotgun
with which the commonwealth says tbe
shot was fired waa then exhibited
Mr. Owen identified the gun aa the one
shown at the coroner's Inquest, at which
time Paul Beattie swore thst he had pur
chased It for hla cousin. Then the wit
ness described tha scene of the crime on
the night of the murder. Beattie watched
hla uncle-ln-law like a hawk as the testi
mony proceeded, and now and then shook
his head as if In contradiction.
Defendaat Seemed Orievrd.
"Did you observe the conduct of the ac
cused at the bouse after the murder?"
Owen was asked.
"He seemed to bo grieved and I tried to
keep him out of the room where the body
was." aald the witness.
"He asked me for some whisky and I
sent out for some, and several times he
inquired if his wife waa dead. He also
, requested several times that I 'phone to
hia father."
"To what extent did Beattie use the
whisky T" asked counsel for the common
wealth. "I am pretty certain I saw htm take a
drink," said Owen, "and later I found a
half pint bottle empty."
He could not swear, however, that tha
prisoner had drank It all. The witness de
scribed the "bearded highwayman" pic
tured to him by Beattie as his wife's mur
derer, repeated Beattie's story of the alleged
encounter and told of a scratch on Beat
tie's face which the prlsuner had aaid the
man in the road Inflicted;
"Did the accused render you any aid In
an attempt to identify the assassin?" Owen
was asked.
"Hla description of the man was the only
aid." replied the witness.
When the commonwealth counsel an
nounced that it was through with the
; wltnesa Attorney H. M. Smith, Jr., for tha
defense began the cross-examination. Under
the ordeal the witness became a bit con
fuaed aa to several incidents on the night
of the murder.
Mr. Owes C'rass-Eaaaalaed.
"Who first suggested bloodhounds to
trace the assassin?" asked Mr. Smith.
"I think I did." said Owen.
"Do you not recall Henry having said:
'Get the hounds and spare no expense? "
"I remember nothing of the kind."
Taking the witness In hsnd again ths
commonwealth attempted to show that
Beattie refrained from Inviting any mem
bers of tbe Owen family to ride In the
automobile the night of I the murder in
ordet that he might bo alone with bis wife.
But the court ruled out questions along
