WILL PROVE CHECK
UMIST FORGERY
New York, November l"..?Conclusion
of un Hgrooment by which the Guar?
anty Trust Company will co-operate
with the new. central bureau for the
validation of cotton bills of lading was
announced lo-nl?hl by Charles is",
ilaight, counsel for the Liverpool cot?
ton bills of lading committee, Mr.
ilaight, who has been conferring for
two months past with various leading
exchange buyers in an effort to con?
vince them of the value of the central
bureau m checking up Irregularities
in the cotton bills which they accept
as collateral, said thai after several
conferences with Guaranty Trust Com?
pany counsel the officer* of the in?
stitution ha,| decided that co-opera?
tion with the central bureau would be
to their advantage.
"In view of the extremely efficient
work which the centra! bureau has
"been doing for the last two months
end a half." said Mr. ilaight, "and the
need of that work Which has de?
veloped in the operation of the bureau.
J feel safe in expressing the opinion
that other bankers with whom I have
been In conference will shortly reach
tho conclusion which has been reached
t?y the officers of the Guaranty Trunt
Company, and that it Is a matter? of
only a short time before all exchange
buyers will leel that they cannot af?
ford to do without the check against
forgery which the central bureau pro?
vides."
Mr. Ilaight instanced recent cases of
frauds In bills of lading discovered In
Mississippi, Georgia and Texas as
? nforclng his argument for the neces?
sity of maintaining such a method of
safeguarding against crooked work as
the central bureau provides.

Itrniilt .Not Unexpected.
To the public the news of the refusal
by the Governor to grant a respite was
expected, having been predicted by The
Times-Dispatch yesterday morning.
There was little comment. Those who
had expected a delay in execution evi?
dently had not taken into account the
events of the preceding forty-eight
hours.
Few people weie in the Governor's

of South Richmond, was present, repre?

For the Old father, who has stood by
his boy to the last ounce of his
strength, to the d'sregard of his means,
to the exclusion of his business inter?
ests, there was nolhlng?bul the deepest
feeling of .commiseration. The spec?
tacle of breaking hearts about the fam?
ily fireside furnished In intensity a ser?
mon from the text, "The wages of s'n
Is death"?not only to the -sinner, but
to those whom he drags with him in
his fall. ?
News Broken l?> Minister,
Utterly broken by this dashing of bis
last hopes to the ground, Mr. Beattie
did not convey the news of the Gover?
nor's dedsloh to his son. This. I lie
saddest of all duties, was performed by
Mr. Dennis, who went to the death
cell and told the young prisoner that
his only hopes were in things not tem?
poral. Naturally no one would discuss
the manner In which the Information
was received. However, it was learned j
last tiiglit that Beattle's physical and
mental condition was normal, no change
In his attitude having been noted.
Later, 11. M. Smith. Jr.. of Beattle's
counsel, went to the prison and saw the
condemned man. Still later, the aged
father called and was closeted with
his son for some time. That pnthotlc
figure, freighted with woes unutterable,
awakens the compassion of the com?
munity.
Denial by Mr. Reattlr.
il. C. Beattie, Sr.. requested The
Tlmes-Dlspittch List night to deny the
report copied in an afternoon paper
from the Washington Herald, which
.-dated that he had been In Washing?
ton with Paul Beattie on October 23
to see Lawyer Balderston In connec?
tion with Paul's atlldavlt given In that
city. Mr. Beattie said that he had
never been in company with Paul Beat
tie, .md had certainly not been In
Washington. As a matter of fact, Mr.
Beattie has not been out of the city
since tho day of bis son's arrest, ex?
cept, of course, when he attended the
trial In Chesterfield county.
