CHICAGO, Sept. Probability of a

After another all-day conference of
the committee of the international of-

clined to authorise any statement of
their position.

plans of the prosecution in the

trial for the murder of his wife,
may be changed as the result of
a letter received tonight by
Commonwealth’s Attorney Wen-

to have been an eyewitness to
the killing of Louise Owen Beat-

may ask the court tomorrow to
reopen the case for the intro-
duction of the new evidence be-
fore the final addresses to the
jury.
Mr. Wendenberg refused to
divulge the name of the alleged
eyewitness, but said investiga-
tion today had proved that the
man had been employed as a
farm hand near the scene of the
crime.
In his letter the man says he
saw an automobile stop and
heard a man and a woman quar-
relling. Then the man attacked
the woman with the stock of a
shotgun, he declares, and this

NEW YORK. Sept 8 —Separate in-
dictments accusing Nathan Allen of
Kenosha, Wis., and John R. Collins of
Memphis, Tenn., reputed millionaires,
of smuggling gems valued at many
thousands of dollars into the port of
New York were brought to light this
afternoon in the office of United States
District Attorney Wise The indict-
ments had lain on his desk bearing the
seal of the Federal Grand Jury sine*
Aug. 29. when they were handed down.
The testimony of Mrs. Helen Dwellex
Jenkins, the woman with whom Allen
is said to have quarreled and broken
his friendship not long ago. is under-
stood to have formed the foundation
upon which the true bills were found.
Allen, a leather merchant, is charged
in the indictment with having con-
cealed about his clothes a pearl valued
at 919,000 when he landed in New York
from the Lusitania on June 25. 1909.
The indictment further charges him
with having failed to declare the gem
and with bringing It into the country
duty unpaid.
A second count of the indictments
charges Allen also with smuggling on
the same date a gem bracelet A third
count charges illegal importation of
the pearl and the bracelet and other
-‘divers articles of jewelry and wearing
apparel" on the same date. This count
also charged that Allen was party to
a conspiracy with other persons to de-
fraud the Government of duties by
"clandestinely introducing into the
country the jewelry and wearing ap-
parel described In the two prior
counts.”

The action, which was unanimous,

WASHINGTON, Bept. 6-- The Tenth
Infantry, now at Han Antonio, Texas;
will form the nucleus of a permanent
garrison to be established on the Pan-
ama Canal sone, will sail from Galves-
ton Bept. 14 on army transports for
Colon. The regiment was selected be-
cause It is one of the few organisa-
tions recruited up to full regimental
strength and thoroughly drilled and
trained at Han Antonio during the ma-
neuvers. The regiment will be fol-
lowed by others in a few months. It
is stated at both the War and State
Departments that the establishment of
this permanent garrison has no con-
nection with the political developments
in Panama: in fact, there are already
on the Isthmus in the shape of the
marine contingent and available Amer-
ican employee, in the sone, a force quite
sufficient to insure the maintenance of
the peace there.
Great economy has been established
by the adoption of the buildings now
used by the Isthmian canal workers to.
shelter the troops, and it is claimed
that at a cost of $65,000 the army will
be in possession of a post on the isth-

DEAL, England, Rept. 9—After a
lapse of thirty-six years. Captain Mat-

English Channel has been duplicated by
William T. Burgess, a Yorkshireman by
birth and a naturalised Frenchman. It
was Burgess' sixteenth attempt, he
having first essayed the tank in 1904.
Burgess started from South Foreland,
Dover, at 11:15 o’clock Tuesday morn-
ing. He landed at Lechatelet, a little
village two miles cast of Cape Gris
Nez, at 9:50 o’clock this morning, ac-
complishing the passage In 22 hours 35
minutes. A motor boat accompanied
the swimmer, and it is estimated that
Burgess, owing to the circuitus course
he was compelled to take because of the
baffling tides, covered sixty miles.
Boon after the start a dense fog set-
tied down over the channel and no
further tidings of his progress were
received until the announcement was
made that he had leaded oa the French
aide.
Throughout th* trip Burgess was

displeasing to Senator Bailey, but they

The Senator today received hundreds
of telegrams from all parts of the
United States expressing regret at hia
announcement.

legal basis /or the arguments tomor-
row at Chesterfield Courthouse, de-
tectives for the commonwealth in-

was an accomplice before the fact.
The prosecution applied to Judge
Watson to delay the release of the
girl from custody at least until) to. or-
row. Judge Watson was informed that
if the commonwealth was successful
the Binford girl might be arrested and
indicted as an accomplice.
Judge Watson today received a tele-
gram from a men in Chicago, advising
that Paul Beattie, a cousin of Henry,
be indicted as an accomplice, the Chi-
cagoan declaring he would come to
Chesterfield Courthouse to testify if it
was so desired.
L L Scherer, chief of the detectives
working up the case of the prosecution,
tonight repudiated any such purpose as
