Of opinion upon this case. since Mr.
Lestrade, enc of the most experienced
members of the official force, and Mr.
Sherlock Holmes, the we'll known con-
sulting expert, have each come to the
conclusion that the grotesaue series of
incidents. which have ended in so tragic
a fashion, arise from lunacy rather
than from deliberate crime. No eX-
PLANTATION save mental alteration can
cover the facts The press, Watson,

of the house specifically to three mat

He said congress should immediate

on the, attention Of the house was the
great Importance of supporting the
committee in its appropriation Of
$4,000 and 100000 for investigation
of structural materials of the United
States and analyses of coal, lignites,
peat, ETC., for the purpose of deter.
mining their fuel values.
Mr.. Sullivan then called the atten.
tion OF the house to three specific
violations Of the law by cabinet Of
ficers, which had been brought to the
knowledge Of the committee during
the hearings. He charged that Sec,
of the Interior Hitchcock, under the

SENATOR TO WE'D.
Engagement Announced Of w. Murray
Crane to a Washington Belle.

Engagement Announced Of w. Murray
Crane to a Washington Belle.
Washington, d. C.-The engagement
of United States Senator Winthrop
Murray Crane of Massachusetts, to
Miss Josephine Boardman has Just
been announced by the parents Of the
bride-to-be. The senator has just re-
turned from Dalton, Mass, where he
went to inform his relatives OF the
engagement and Miss Boardman sent
notes to her more intimate friends
and relatives saying that she wished
them to know before the formal an
nouncement was made. This was to
have been made within q few days,
but the good news travelled fast, and
it was decided to authorize an immedi-
ate announcement.
The senator has already received
the congratulations of the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth and Miss Boardman are
great chums, and throughout this ad'
ministration the latter has been ire
0uent guest at the White House. The
official announcement reads:
"Mr. and Mrs. w. ]. Boardman an
nounce the engagement OF their
daughter, Josephine Porter, to Sena'
tor w. Murray Crane Of Massachu-
setts."
In making the announcement Mrs,
Boardman said: 1--WE thought 1t better
to announce it rather than have 1t go
out first as a rumor. We are not yet
prepared to announce the date OF the
wedding, as my daughters plans are
not yet completed. We shall announce
this as soon as the date has been set
tied upon"
The Boardmans came to Washing
ton about Is years ago. Their nome
Is one of the handsomest residences
In Washington and is just off Dupont
circle on P street, near the Letter and
Patterson residences. Probably nc
family in Washington has been more
prominent or popular in society.
AS the chum of Mis- Alice Roosevelt
Miss Josephine Boardman has been
favorite of the President and Mrs
Roosevelt. Her engagement to dip
lomat has been rumored more than
once, but this was probably due to the
fact that she was great favorite II
the diplomatic corps. She speaks
French and German, and mas speh'
muoh time in Europe.
Miss Boardman recently passed hel

light hair and light complexion. Hel
presence at many state dinners Is due
not only to her popularity, but to he1
great interest In and understanding o
national and international politics

Rev. DR.. crapsey Appeals.

Rochester, N. Y.-Rev. Algernon s.
Crapsey, rector of st. Andrews Pro-
testant Episcopal church Of this city,
has through his counsel, James Beck
Perkins, filed an appeal from the find
ings of the ecclesiastical court that
found him guilty Of heresy.
The appeal is made to the court of
review of the second department of
the Protestant Episcopal church of
North America, from the decietoT
made at Batavia, N. Y, on May 8. The
appeal rehearses the charges as con-
tanned mainly in DR.. Crapsey's book,
Religion and Politics." and the court
findings thereon. The appeal is based
on several grounds.
These include the allegation by DR..
Crapsey that the court that tried him
was Illegally and unfairly organized -
that the court erred in refusing him
reasonable time for the preparation of
his defense, that the court undertook
to determine questions Of doctrine,
faith and worship, that the court erred
in refusing to receive evidence offered
in DR.. Crapsey's behalf to show that
the statements complained Of were
within his liberty, duty and right to
make. After asserting that the deci-
sion is erroneous for various other rea-
sons, Dr. Crapsey concludes as follows:
THAT the said decision is erroneous,
indefinite, uncertain and void in that
it prescribes or proposes as a punish
ment that be suspended from exer-
cising the functions of minister of
this church until such time as shall
satisfy the ecclesiastical authority of
the diocese that my belief and teach
ing conform to the doctrines of the
Apostles creed and the Nicene creed
as this church hath received the same"

grind" for the doctors who have come
to Boston to attend the 57th annual
convention of the American medical
association.
Yet in spite Of the prevailing high
temperature, the 20 meetings OF the
various sections, which were scheduled
for the morning and afternoon, were
well attended. So were the cllnlcal
and scientific exhibits which were held
simultaneously in all the hospitals, In
Mechanics hall, and In the new Har-
ward medical school.
Nearly all the subjects discussed at
these many meetings were OF teen
nical nature, and each drew to itself
the group of specialists in that partl-
cular subject.
There was a notable exception to
this, however in the two meetings held
by the section on hygiene and sani-
tary science, in Legion of Honor hall
Two symposums were discussed by
experts from two continents, Every
minute of the time devoted to the
three or four doctors claiming recog-
milton at the same time from one
third to one-fourth of those who at
tended the meetings of this section
we're women physicians. Radical ac-
tion was taken regarding the attitude
toward the diseases discussed, and a
crusade was inaugurated which it is
expected will reach the proportions Of
the crusade against tuberculosis.
The largest attendance at any Of
the many clinical demonstrations as
sembled in the Boston normal school
of gymnastics, in the east end OF Me-
chanics building, where under the di
rection of DR.. G. A. Porter and DR..
John Bapst Blake more than 100 sur
gical cases were exhibited.
In the evening the annual grafton on
state medicine was delivered, followed
by the presidents annual reception
which proved to be a delightful af-
fair.
The various excursions through the
park systems, down the harbor and
to the points of historic interest, at
tracted immense numbers, and the en-
thusiasm of the visitors over the scenic
beauties and the historic interest Of
the places visited reached a high pitch
DR.. Harold Williams, dean of the
Tufts medical school, was in charge
of the excursion committee, and he
was assisted by large staff of medical
students.
Registration continued fairly heavy
throughout the day. On Monday night
registration figures exceeded 1900, on
Tuesday night 300 and Wednesday
night 5000. These numbers do not in
clude either women or visiting doctors
who are not members of the A. M. A.,
but only members of the association.
The total number of visitors is es-
timated by members of the committee
at from three to four times the num-
her of those -ra0istaraa.
In the afternoon the second social
function was held in the new Harvard
medical school, and was more largely
attended tnan that of the preceding
day.
The New England hospital for wom-
en- and children attracted great num-
ber Of women physicians to the re-
ception and garden party given on
the spacious grounds on Dimock street,
