MODERN BLUEBEARD,
Geo. Crossman, of London Had Eight
Wives.

London, Eng.-Polygamy and it's in
duences over George Crossman, who
had eight or more wives, and the de-
velopments following from the suicide
OF Crossman, are absorbing public at
tention. On the night of March %
Crossman, who was living in the re-
spectacle suburb of Kensalrise, killed
himself to avoid arrest by the police,
whose suspicious had been aroused
which Crossman was sending away
from his house. On opening the trunk
the body of a woman was found en-
cased in cement. An investigation
proved that she was murdered about
six months ago and that she was one
of Crossman's wives. Five of his
wives were traced and found alive
One wife is dead and two are missing.
The body found cemented is in a
decomposed condition, even to the
skull, which had been split with an
axe.
The police believe it possible the in
vestigation may prove that Crossman
adopted a similar method in Kidding
himself Of other wives, of which it is
suspected he may have had several
who have not yet been traced.
Though only 80 years of age, Cross
mans career rivals that of famous
criminals. Under various aliases he
led double and even a triple married
life. He was an engineer, composer,
wigmaker or bookmaker.

Better weather has helped retail
trade, thereby Strengthening the tone
Of Wholesale and jobbing business. Dis
tribution, as whole, however, is not
up to a year ago. Additional favor
able features are the unquestionable
better winter wheat condition, due to
general rains throughout the south
west and evidences of further activ-
ity and strength in the iron and steel
trades. Weather conditions have also
allowed an increased outdoor activity,
notably in building, but signs of in
creased tension N labor matters con.
stitute a drawback at several large
centers.
Spring goods in nearly all lines are
in better request at leading northern

The situation in the metal markets
generally is a very satisfactory one
Other metals have been rather
stronger, copper notably showing an
increased foreign and domestic de-

NAr1oaAL CONVENTION PLANS.
National Republican Subcommittee
Met in Chicago.

National Republican Subcommittee
Met in Chicago.
Chicago-The subcommittee Of the
republican national committee having
in charge the arrangements of the ma
tional convention in this city have met
with the local committee to discuss the
preparations that have been made at
the Coliseum, where the convention is
to be held.
All arrangements made by the local
committee were approved by the mem
beers of the national committee.
1t was explained to the members Of
the naional committee at the outset
that Chicago had never promised to
put up for the use of the national COM
mittee such a sum as SIS, 200, nor, in
fact, had it promised to put up any
sum of money at all. What it had
pomised to pay was all the bills of the
convention, and this it would do. It
was determined that all the bills for
the convention are to be turned over to
the local committee and it will provide
for their payment.
None of them will be presented to
the national committee, which will be
under no obligations for any expenses
incident to the holding of the conven-
ito. In going over the arrangements
made for the seating it was found that
the number of seats in the hall will be
8425. Of these 500 will be on the
stage and $50 will be for the press.
There will be $50 seats for delegates
and the same number for alternates,
leaving 1913 for spectators.
