REAL SENSATION
Pastor of Old St. John's Believes
His Attack on Astor-Force Af?
fair and the "Smart Set" Gen?
erally Has Brought Down
Wrath of His Su?
perior.
[Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.]
Philadelphia. Pa., Auguat 13.?The
Philadelphia dloccae of the Protestant
Episcopal Church is threatened with a
sensation such as It has never ex?
perienced" before, unless the Rt. Rev.
Alexander Mackay-Smlth, U. D.. bishop
of the diocese, makes a retraction of
and public apology for certain letters
?which he lb said to have written to
Rev. George Chalmers Richmond, rec?
tor of old St. John's.
Mr. Richmond stated this afternoon
that he would not bring action against
Rlshop Mackay-Smlth in a civil court,
or ask for pecuniary damages on
charges of Blander anjl vilification, but
that lnbtcad he would lay hla charges
before an ecclesiastical board and ask
tor a trial before the bishops of this
province.
Will Take Cn?e to Bishops.
Tho rector declared that if Bishop
Mackay-Smlth had not retracted his
letters by the early part of October,
he would place the matter before the
group of bishops who will be In Phil?
adelphia October 2S to consecrate the
newly elected blshop-coadjuior. Dr.
Philip Rhlnelander.
Mr. Richmond states that since the
first of this year he has received ?
dozen letters from the b'shop. any
one of which he claims woJld consti?
tute good' grounds for action against
the writer.
According to Mr. Richmond, he sent
a post card to Bishop Mackay-Smlth
on or about May 11, Informing htm
that he had received an increase In
?alary from his congregation.
"It was an ordinary card,'" explain?
ed the rector, "such as any one might
write Informing a friend of a piece
of good news It read something ltko
this: 'My Dear Bishop.?I take pleas?
ure In informing you that at a meeting
of our vestry, held such and such a
date, my salary was increased from so
n.uch to so much per year. I know
you will be slad to hear this. Very
respectfully yours, G. C. Richmond.'
"About a week later a reply came
from the bishop which astounded me.
it consisted of four typewritten pages
and was devoted almost entirely to a
bitter attack upon me Let me read
Borne, of the things the bishop said In
that letter.
"'I have told my servant, who knows
your handwriting, not to hand me any
more of these babyish epistles, but to'
tear them up without reading them.'"I
read Mr Richmond, after he had skip-'
P*d hurriedly over the first paragraph.!
which began with the formal greet-:
ing of "Sir."
"Another paragraph In the l?tter ;
read: 'I make allowance for you inj
this matter because I remember tfiat1
you are the nephew of the person j
whom, when I was a boy. wns known
as "Crasy Richmond" because he made
himself a scandal In every commun?
ity he ever entered. As the name In?
dicated he was generally regarded as
Insane
"Not Rlgbt In 1'pper Story."
"This feeling that you are not quite
right in the upper story Is now gen- '
fcrally believed by the clergy of Phila?
delphia I do not say whether they
are right or wrong, but things ha\e
Rone so far now that everybody hates ;
you and you hate everybody. I Jo ?1f t, |
as your bishop, reprove you as people 1
are all the while telling me I should I
do. for I have known that you had '
long ago gotten beyond the point
where you have any reverence or obe
dlence for any reproof, human or dl- '
vine; hut there must he some expltna
tlpn of your altitude.'"
Mr. Richmond believes that his pub- [
lie utterances on the coming Astor- i
Force marriage and his condemnation '
of the alliance as an oulrage against'
tho church and decenev helped to \
arouse Bishop Mackay-Smlth against
him
In his sermon to-day. Mr. Richmond
took another fling at the Astor-Force
affair, and urged that steps be taken I
to induce Cor.prres.? to enact a uniform
code of laws governing marriage and
divorce. In part he. suld:
"Evil In the world Is a call to God's
sons to put on their liest armor. To- j
day we yee the signs all about us of
the power of sin. The men and wo?
men of wealth and social position ait.
as a rule, squandering their powota on
the pleasures of a .lay. The fl'rnil
outlook on life, the deep purpose to'
grasp the real reason of things, the
longing for the p"rman^nt!y .cood n'jid
true, are glven hut little consideration
by the smart set of New York und
Philadelphia.
"In our charities we are stingy; In j
our refinements we are shallow; !n our
Intellectual pursuits we fall as a ?\tle i
to go very deep. At least we come ;
short of the moral and spiritual Vahle"
of much of our studv, and In our t.'e.it
mcnt of the stern social and industrial j
problems about us we seem tns;nc >rc j
and we lack courage.
"When we look at the attitude to?
ward the divorce evil of many men,
leaders in our so-called best life und
of some of our churches, which seem to
play with the question, we shut our
e.yes to our lack of moral stability and
stamina.
"I do not desire to pro'ong this con- I
trover.-v of such a disgusting sight as!
this coming Astor-Force affair. Not!
oven God can change these people from ,'
the. error of their ways. They care '
not for God, .-nan or the devil. Evil to,
them is attractive. Goodness, purity,
piety and Christian graces of life do (
not reveal to these folks anything to j
; be desired

MEAT GOING 'WAY UP
New High Iteeord Predicted Because
of Drought on Cattle Haages.
Chicago. August 13.?That Chicago
and the country at large arc already
beginning to feel the effects of the
drought in the cattle-raising country,
and that a big advance In the prices
of meats Is under way. Is admitted 1 y
leading wholesalers. Not only will
last year's high prices In meat pro?
ducts be equaled, but It Is predicted
that new records will be made.
Already pork loins are selling whole?
sale al the highest price fir the year?
around 16 cents.
John Irwin, of ?Irwin Brother?,
wholesale meat dealers, of 507 South
State Street, said that not in many
years has the public faced such a con?
dition of affairs.
"There are practically no grass-fed
cattle being shipped into f'hlcaco." he
said. "The continuous heated spell ha?
dried up the grazing, and the animals
received In Chicago hav< been in ter?
rible condition, with practically no
meat on them. As is result, beef Is
going tip. and will reKs'h new high
record prices this winter. A peculiar j
feature of ih* coming high prices will '
be the fact that instead of the eholo- |
est cuts being affected, the cheaper
beef will feel the advance quiekest,
and will suffer the greatest Increase
"Practically everything in the l'.ne
of meats, except mutton, will fe>l the
advance In the next twelve months."

Disaster.
Fort Wayne. Ind.. August 13?Four
persons were killed and thirty Injured
when the Pennsylvania elghtcen-hour
train, en route from Chicago to New
York, Jumped the track on the. west?
ern outskirts of this city at 6:30 o'clock
this evening, while going at the rate
of fifty miles an hour.
In leaving the rails the two engines
pulling the passenger train sldc
swiped a freight engine, and the three
piled up In a mass of twisted Iron.
The dead:

I'nknono pameuKer, at St. .Joseph'*
Hospital. I
The poilce department, fire depart- I
ment and every ambulance in the city I
were called to the scene of the accl- j
dent, and the Injured were soon taken j
to hospitals. The main track and the i
track on which the freight train was
located were torn up for a distance of
200 yards. The two engines of the
filer were torn from their trucks and
thrown down the embankment, while
the engine of the freight reared up
over the trucks of the flier's engines.
The baggage, car. smoker, buffet and
two sleepers turned over in the ditch.
Most of the Injured were seated in the
diner and smoker when the accident
occurred.
Mat May lie Incrrnned.
The wreckage has not been cleared, i
and the list of dead may be, more than j
the number reported. The thirty or |
more injured are now In the hospitals, j
*nd It is believe 3 that at least four or
five will die.
C. C. Chattell. Chicago, was in the
dining car when the accident occurrel I
.lie escaped with on!y (flight injuries.,
I to his h'iad and fece.
"The train was running at a terrific
rate of speed." he declared. "The first
intimation I had that anything was,
wrong was when all the passengers
in the dining car were thrown head?
long the entire length of the car. The
next thing 1 realized men were fight?
ing like beasts to get out of the car,
and the steam escaping from the
kitchen was choking us. Another man
and 1 fell to the floor and crawled
along 111 the semi-darkness and among
the screaming men to a window,
throush which we made our escape "
Passengrrs in the seven rear cars
escaped with only cuts and bruises,
whereas, It Is declared by railroad
men. if the cars had been of the old
fashioned wood construction, the car?
nage would have been frightful.
The all-steel cars of the flier were
put to the first actual wreck t*sl th^y
have ever undergone, and proved to
be all that has been claimed for them
by their designers. Only the first two
cars of the heavy nine-car train were 1
much smashed.
Thirty more passengers, who are1
badly bruised ano cut, are at tho
Anthony Hotel.
Fllcr'a Speed the Cause.
Evidence seems to po nt to the fact
that the flier, going at an extreme
rate of speed over a temporary switch '
was the chief cause of the accident.
From Valparaiso to winona Lake tho
engine which brought the train out of
Chicago was going badly, so the en?
gine which was to take the train from
Fort Wayne to Crestline w-as sent to
Winona Lake to me>?t the flier.
The two eng'nes were then coupled
together and the double-header was
then brought to Fort Uayne at
seventy or seventy-five miles an hotir.
At the western limits of the city the
switch was constructed to swing the
trains from the regular main track
to another track. This change in
I routing was made necessary h.; track

'Togo, hero of the Sea of Japan, to-day
paid a warrior's tribute to Colonel
l Theodore Itoosevelt. moving spirit in
the peace of Portsmouth, and appar?
ently Roosevelt, the fighter, had ap
i pealed to the Japanese admiral rather
than Roosevelt, the peacemaker, lur
when he marched up Sagamore Hill
to-day to meet the former President, he
carried to Mr. Roosevelt a two-foot
miniature of a soldier's armor. This
unique souvenir of his visit was done
In glistening metal with exquisite
workmanship and incased In a heavy
mahogany box adorned with Japanese
colors. Admiral Togo had kept the
prospective gift a secret and had care?
fully preserved it in his travels from
the time he left Japan several months
ago.
Ever since he left his native country
Admiral Togo had been looking for?
ward to his meeting to-day with Colo?
nel Roosevelt, for In the years fol?
lowing the activity of the latter at
the peace parley of Portsmouth the
two men have exchanged many letters
expressing mutual admiration.
The Japanese Journeyed to Oyster Bay
on a special train on the Long Island
Railroad, arriving at 1 o'clock. Col?
onel Roosevelt, in a dark suit and
immaculate white vest, stepped forth
on the veranda and greeted the ad?
miral, who wore a white service uni?
form.
Colonel In "De-lighted.'"
"Delighted to meet you," exclaimed
the colonel. The admiral bowed, his
face beaming as he declared his pleas?
ure at greeting in person the man
whom he felt he already knew so
well.
The party filed Into the broad .-e
ceptlon room, and the admiral pre?
sented to Iiis host the gift which he
bad brought from the Island empire.
The colonel expressed hi.s gratitude in
a broadside of superlatives.
After luncheon the party gathered
on the wide veranda, whence sounds
of frequent laughter and the vigorous
voice of Mr. Roosevelt often Issued
The luncheon was a strictly private
affair. Three Japanese photographers
motored from New York In a taxicab
to get a picture of Colonel ltoope
velt and Admiral Togo together for
use in Japanese papers. When they
reached Sigamore Hill the register
stood at $1R.70. Colonel Roosevelt said
"No." and the three Japanese turned
away dejectedly and started back for
New York, with the taximeter clicking
away again derisively.
The only out-of-town guests at the
luncheon besides the admiral's party
were General Stewart I.. Woodford,
former United States minister to Spain,
and, Koklchl Midzu.no, the Japanese
consul-general at New YVirk.

Admiral Togo returned from Oyster

and went immediately to Carnegie
Hall, where several hundred Japanese
residents were gathered and where he
in turn received a gift. To the man
whose chief characteristic is silence,
they presented a handsome box pho?

sic, and made a brief speech of ac?
knowledgment in Japanese.

so far out of her course that she is
estimated to Isuve covered twenty
one miles lu making the distance of
eighteen miles. She tlnlshed strong,
actually sprinting as she nearcd the
goal.
Miss Pltonof was in tho water eight
hours and seven minutes She took
no stimulants or food of any kind on
tho long trip. Most of the way she
used the breast stroke, but for two
stretches she resorted to the speedier
overhand.
The young woman's feat of to-day
had not before been accomplished.
Several swimmers have made the trip
from the Battery to Coney Island, but
j none from a point so far up the Kast

picturesque figures at the Welsh N.i-'
tional Eisteddfod at Carmarthen lasti
week was Miss Longfellow, who said j
she had had tbe Eisteddfod in mind!
for years.
"The Inborn poetry of the Welsh)
race appealed to me. and I have not!
missed a single meeting. The singing:
?of the choirs was magnificent; but'
I most of all I was impressed by tho I
j singing of the little children. Theirj

am used to hearing In America, where
they ure harsh end shrill."

STATE TO ASK FOR
TRIAL Of BEATTIE
NEXT THURSDAY
Defense Reticent, but
Advances No Reason
for Further L elay.
GRAND JURY WILL
IN DICT TO-DAY
Proceedings Will Be Purely For
mal, but Few Witnesses Being
Called?Neither Henry Beat
tie nor Beulah Binford Will
Be Present?Judge Wat?
son Presides.
Henry Clay Bcattle. Jr., will be in?
flicted to-day by tho grand Jury of tho ,
Chesterfield Circuit Court, and the date
Immediately set for beginning his
trial. The pr.cecdings will be entirely
formal. The indictment has already
been prepared for submission to the
grand Jury, and only two or three
witnesses will bo introduced. It will
not bo necessary to go fully into the
case, merely to show that a murder
ha3 been committed and that a coro?
ner's Jury has charged young Bcattle
with the crime. That will suffice to
secure the return of a true bill by
the grand Jury, which w'll proceed
with other business before the court
at this term.
It Is the usual custcm for the dies- ?
terneld court to have its grand Jury
session on the morning of the tlrst
d.iy of term, and If Its report of In?
dictments Is promptly made, the court
that afternoon will call the docket and
set the various cases for trial.
State Itcndy to Begin.
Attorney L. O. Wendenburg, for the
prosecution, said last night that the
State would ask that the trial be set j
for Thursday or Friday of this week.
"It Is the purpose of the prosecu?
tion," he said, "after the Indictment,
to ask for an Immediate hearing. We
will suggest calling the case on Thurs?
day, or Friday of this week, which will
give ample time for the court offlcers
to summon witnesses. It has been .
our idea that if thero should h-s ur.y
delay In securing n Jury?If It proves
I necessary to have a second panel t-um
moned. the result would bo that the
j Jury would be sworn and prevpurcd to
go right into the case on Monday
j morning.
"I do not know what course the
other side will take We will cer?
tainly resist any motion for any kind
of delay. It has been reported that
they would ask ten days' dolay. We
Ih'nk that unnecessary, and SCO no
retison why the trial should n.it pro?
ceed as soon as the witnesses :>r? sum?
moned?on Thursday in fact, if we r.ro
successful In securing a Jury at once.
May Bad Trial in Ten Days.
"I think the trial will las*, a week,
possibly ten days. As soon as wo
plnce on the stand any ono of our
material witnesses, the .Tiiss-CNami-.
nation will reveal the Hn* the iWen.-ie
proposes to take. I. of course,
cannot say whether the defense will
place Henry Beattle on the stand or
not. We will put on various people to
whom he made statements regarding
the killing of Mrs. BeattW .v to show
the various accounts he has given at
different times of the bearded high?
wayman, and endeavor to show their
inconsistency.
"As to the indtctm nt," continued
Mr. Wendenhurg. "the proceedings are
largely formal. Henrv Beattle will not
be taken to Chesterfield to-morrow.
It Is unnecessary, and W3 see no rea?
son for taking any risk. He will re?
main In the Henrlco Jail until the day
his case is set for tria'., when he will
be arraigned. We do not expect to
take Beulah Binford to Chesterfield
at this time, either. Her presence
before the grand Jury will not be
needed. We will take. Paul Beattle
out in a motor car Monday morning
in case he should be needed, but. from
our present view of the case, it may
not bo necessary to have even htm
before the grand Jury. We expect to
have a true bill returned with little
delay."
Question ?1 (iettinc Jury.
While many have predicted freely
that great difficulty would be. experi?
enced In securing a jury, the court
qfl'cers do not hoi l to this view. .Vhlle
the crime was committed m ""nester
fiold. not fur from tho lloilts of Snith
Richmond, the principals Dr.- all Rich
no nd people, and It may truly be said
that there is mot's Interest i.i the city
than in the county In fAit, trial at
I'liesierfleld Court!.', .tse, twelve -.'tili?
away, is in itself almost a change cf
venue. The first i anol to bj examined
win show the extent of local yre.iu
d-te and Indicate the probabilities of
securing a jury. Of tho men Who are
summoned the court firs: examines
euch as to his eligibility. The Colli?
monwealth may then obieir. for cause:
tber. the defense may obj* -'. for cr.use.
Finally, when a full papul of sixteen
men. void of objection for cause from
either side or irom the our:, haa
been secured, tho defense may thtn
exercise its right of peremptory chal?
lenge und strike from eh.* panol the
n.ir.ics of four men without assigning
; ny cause whatever. The remaining
twelve men compose the trial Jury
for the case. It will, of course, be
necessary to keep the Jur>men t>
gether from tho time they ire tlrst
accepted until the verdict Is rendered,
and Sheriff Olli Is making jrrango
i?~-' for their comfortable treat
\ a nearby farm house.
>( Not Difficult Matter.
Many attorneys nssert that tho pro?
cess of selecting a Jury In ruc'n a
case has been greatly simplified by
recent opinions of the Virginia Su?
preme Court; especially that in tha
MeCue case. A Jtryman I? not neces?
sarily ineligible because he has read
newspaper accounts of the crime nntl
expressed opinions based on the hy
pothesta tii.it the facts there state]
