BEUTINGER DENIED BAIL; COURT DOUBTS HER STORY Plea of Woman Who Killed Husband Sprinkled With In- consistencies, Says Justice. Chief Justice William B, Gummore, in the County Court at Newark, ¥. J., ‘o-day refused to admit Mrs. Mar- sraret Claire Beutinger, accused, of shooting and killing her husband at Caldwell, to bail pending the hearing of her case before the Grand Jury, Robert H. McCarter, former Attor- rey General, who appeared for Mra. Heutinger, proffered any amount of bonds, and said she would report daily to the prosecutor's office or be sub- jrot to any eurveillance thought necessary, He ,ieaded that the wom- an‘a physical condition, the need of her little children for her and the fact that she had been driven to her act by almost unbelievable cruelties, en- titled her to bail. The Chief Justice said he sympa- thiged with the accused woman as a man, but as justice must deny bis sanction for bail. With the application Mr. McCarter presented a long affidavit from Mra. Beutinger retelling the story of her life, and asserting that she shot her ind in self-defense. ice Gummere said Mrs, Beut- inger's story Was sprinkled with in- consistencies, It was hard to explain why she remarried a man sie had divorced and who she had said a dog could not trust.

HOOT ASQUITH, ‘CHEER REDMOND, IN HOME RULE CLASH Irish M. P.s Protest Premier’s Statement That Bill Must Suit All Parties. LONDON, July 24.—Premler Asquith to-day told Juhn Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalists in the House of Commons, that the British Government did not propose to introduce an Irish bill, in regard to which, there did not appear to be the prospect of a sub- stantial agreement by all political par- ties. Mr. Asquith Inter made a similar announcement in the House of Com- mons, Mr, Redmond obtained leave to move the adjournment of the House in order “to call attention to the rap- them more extensively. | idly growing unrest In Ireland owing to the fact that the Government did not propose to carry out in entirety the terms submitted for the tempo- rary settlement. Mr, Redmond asked amid loud Na- tlonalist cheers whether the Govern- ment had decided to depart from the terms of the agreement arrived at by the Irish Party and based upon the ‘oposals made by the Secretary for War David Lioyd George, whether |the Government had determined to linsert in the bill new proposals at variance with the agreement without consulting the Nationalists, — and vhetber the Premier had recelved any intimation that a@ bill so famed would orously opposed by the Nation. jer Asquith, in reply, pointed out that the agreement was subject to the approval of and division by tho ‘abinet.

The argument was interrupted by the Irish members with shouts and yells at Asquith of such phrases an ‘Scrap of paper!" “You betrayed Reigium—you are betraying Ireland!" Asquith’s statement was taken In the lobbies of Parliament to mean that Home Rule hod been dropped for the moment and that David Lioyd George's negotiations had come to naught, \DETAINED WITNESSES COMPLAIN OF PRISON Grand Jury to Investigate Condi- tions Recited in Appeal to Judge Mulqueen, As the result of a round robin signed by nine persons detained as witnesses in the West Side Prison, Fifty-fourth Street and Eighth Ave- nue, received by Judge Mulqueen of General Sessions to-day a Grand Jury investigation tuto the conditions alleged to prevail thers was begun, “The condition in our place of icads, “are deplorable. ve ‘ermin infest ir cells; ia impossible to bathe; the food served is bad and if anything nevesvary is desired, hot water for instance, wr are compelled to pay for it.

NEW YORK BOYS DON'T CARE FOR TEXAS. A land full of scenes and people and things that New York has not and lacking most of the things that a New Yorker has grown to regard as indispensable. This is an outline sketch, fellow New Yorkers, of the location and surroundings and general attributes of the country in which the New York militia-is being “hardened” for warfare, There is muoh to be said for Southeastern Texas as a place of residence for folks who like the sort of a place of residence Southeastern ‘Texas {s, but in all candor, the New York soldiers do not like it a little bit. They care not for the charms of rural nature; they prefer the subway and Coney Island, The first regiment to reach the camp at McAllen pitched their tents three weeks ago. The entire contin- gent, nearly 17,000 strong, is here to- day. The novelty of the situation has worn off. There appears to be no im- mediate prospect of war. Enough timo has been spent here to demonstrate that the plan of utilizing the militia as an active arm of the regular mili- tary service is not working out as Its projectors thought it would work. For the information of New York City and Btate it may be said in ell sincerity that 80'per cent. of the sol- dlers in the Sixth Division want to 4o home. It is not that they are shirk- ers, it is not that they are dispossd to violate the obligations they sa- sumed as soldiers because the tem- Perature on the Rio Grande habitu- ally hovers around 100, the rations are pot up to the standard, the camps are not equipped for the comfort of men unaccustomed to tropical heat. It is because they believe they have been buncoed by the United States Government. The people of Texas want the soldiers to remain here, The soldiers have brought money and prosperity and life to remote pl in the Lone Star State, but Texans, while they are not unappreciative of the direct financial benefits accruing from direct association with the militia of the country, are more strongly in favor of a big border militia force because such # force spells protection, BUT THE TEXANS WANT THE BOYS TO STAY. The Texan believes that as soon as the militia is withdrawn the bandits of Northern Mexico will resume their raiding, that American lives and property will be sacrificed and that the very fact of withdrawal will in- spire in the peon mind the belief that the United States im afraid to go to gold Rowers flooding th wit oe al with Mexico, The interest of) oh Man WHERE THe ] Lt the jong | 4 tetee and (he Roo heel gamers lly * the wile Compe te OeGeh but Aik « » New Ff od ot the ve ‘ou hey re te weiter ol . @ the oe oo tet the ~ ona Piaiee ee 0h here hende” ihe New Fare, bope + hends the We found (hemertves ip 6® Bhmee hel mney Weathes eee Theo genuine thet (hep O88 geen bone of o anne cot, ie ted by the wilt eof thie om compe in the [ho en ane €O8® here O08 Per pone The fomte os of (he militiamen thet jet te ke fim oe (hemeeives in warfare wall seen (me as the regular troops, formin invading fortes, should weed thelr active aid pe are wacrificing ew of them earn ieee May, for mere average wages of id weneral incompetence of cor 1 and non-commissioned o| obtained promotion at Kh pull inatead of merit, who the $40 a month mechanic, clerk aaleaman pay Uncle Bam | for being “hardenes patrol the altuat han proved that we must have an army in the fleld ail the time big enough to make a front until the re- n be trained, ued as againat thin vi point that it in the duty of every citi- zen to be peveared to fight for his country.
