CLOSE upon the heels of tho radical
shakeup in the ranks OF bank exam
liners, by'which' twenty men on Thursday
were shifted to new fields, Comptroller
of the Currency Murray on Saturday
announced that he would make u per-
sonal investigation of conditions in nj!
examination districts, In deciding up
on this course Of action the comptroller
in a statement addressed to examiners
said:
In almost every case of national
hank failure since | have been comp
troller the insolvency could have been
,,yerted had the national bank exam
iner determined the truc condition ana
reported his findings in time for me to
force a correction in the administration
of the bank affairs.
Condenning the excuses by bank OK
aminers in virtually every case, Mr..
Murray said he had been compelled to
undertake a personal examination OF
conditions in every district, SO rs to as
certain at first hand why an examiner
is unable to discover impending dis
aster in the affairs of bank.

The Crippen-Leneve Trial.

London, Sept, 12.-Because an IN
dertaker and morgue keeper were
compelled to use enormous quantities
of carbolie acid to counteract. the odors
of decaying flesh in moving the body
found in the cellar of DR.. Crippen s
house, the acquittal Of DR.. III. H.
Crippen, accused of the murder of his
wife may be forced.
When the inquest over the body
taken from the Crippen cellar was re-
sumed, Attorney Arthur Newton,
counsel for Crippen and the Leneve
girl, grilIed the undertaken and NOR
que keeper, who took charge OF the
body, with series OF sharp ques-
tons. He tried to show that they
shoveled the remains into box, tax
ing little care to keep dirt and stones
Both men denied this saying
there was neither stones nor dirt in the
coffin when it was taken to the morgue.
They admitted, however, that there was
a great deal OF carbolic acid, and said
they had TO use it in order to approach
where the body was buried.
1t was plain from the questions New
ton put to these two witnesses that he
hopes TO demonstrate that the testimony
OF the chemists that hyoscin poisoning
caused the death of the person whose
body was taken from the Crippen
cellar, was a conclusion that could not
have been reached by an analysis. He
apparently was laying the foundation
to impeach any possibility that salts
factory analysis could have taken place
and to show that the carbolic acid used
ruined the body for the purposes OF
analysis.

ENGLAND'S LABOR CRISIS.
A General Strike of a Million and Half
of Workingmen Imminent.

London, Sept. l2.-Despite the
promised arbitration OF the boiler
makers lockout and the difficulties OF
the Great Northern Railway, the big
labor congress that begins at Sheffield
today is expected 10 demand change
in the English law that will permit
labor unions to levy q tax for the sup
port Of labor representatives in parlla-
ment. II granted, the law promises
to be a second magma charta" to
laboring England.
Trade unionists have already begun
a campaign to force the desired change
in the law. The next predicted step
will be defiance OF the courts, neces
sarily followed by the outlawing OF the
unions as revolutionary societies. This
will mean secret meetings, police raids
and the Wholesale Imprisonment OF
union officials. Then will become 4
general strike, nearly 1900, 900 mem
bers of the 155 unions in England. If
that strike can be settled without
trouble on scale calculated to shake
the government, it will surprise every
body. The only way TO prevent this
development will be for the govern
ment to surrender, of which there is
little likelihood.
About a year ago VIM. II. Osborne,
a member OF the Amalgamated Society
of Railway Servants, applied for an
injunction restraining his union from
assessing him one shilling year for
the labor party's campaign chest.
The injunction was granted The
union appealed until it reached the
House of Lords. At every stage the
Injunction was sustained. These in
functions meant death to the labor
party.
1t costs at least $1,000 to contest a
seat in parliament, the members OF
which are unpaid. Obviously it is i'm
possible for a working man to find the
funds for an election contest, or to
devote his time to legislative matters
without financial assistance.
Sheffield, Sept. 12.-Nothing less
than the return to the tax-levyIng
privileges enjoyed before the adverse
decision in the William II. Osborne
case will satisfy English labor unions,
declared President j. Haslam today
at the opening of the labor congress.
mo compromise will be acceptable, "
Hasam continued. The proposal to
pay members OF Parliament y salary is
all right as far as it goes, but we still
demand the right to levy assessments
to defray the political expenses of our
representatives in Parliament, which
right was taken from us by the Os-
borne decision.
Today's congress is one Of the most
largely attended in the history of the
English labor movement, due to the
fact that union labor is facing more
threatening situation than ever before.
Sectional strikes were condemned bv
President Haslam. An unidentified
delegate created scene today by OBJ
iecting to the address OF welcome by
Lord Mayor Earl Fitzwilliam, who. the
delegate declared, is an enemy OF labor.

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. II

INDUSTRIAL WAR" is the caption
under which the London newspapers
exploit the situation which has sud
denly arisen in the principal ccntcrs OF
British industry. Chaos is q correct
description OF the effect that will be
produced in the relation OF capital ana
labor in England il the new attitude as
sumed by trades unionism is persisted
in. One of the principal unions has
deliberately voted reputation Of the
sanctity Of contracts and in favor OF
their open violation Of pledges. lnci-
IDENTIFY, they have ovcrtlrown their
own leaders and defied discipline. 1t
is not to be wondered that the British
public is seeking to find an explanation
OF this amazing situation. What means
they ask, this sudden moral debasement
of large section OF British workmen'
who openly made solemn agreements
and then violate them at will? All over
England there appears at the present
moment to be condition OF unrest
among the wage-carning classes which
may seriously imperil the whole trade
union organization. 1t is believed by
many to be due to the socialist pro-
paganda. The essence OF that propa-
ganda is preaching the doctrine OF
discontent. The socialists teach that Il
capitalist is an enemy witlrwhom there
should be no parleying and for whom
there should be no quarter. AT the
same time they have encouraged the
idea that trade unionism on the Old
lines is a played out farce and that
vape-earners must look exclusively IL
political action to improve their posi-
ton. A combination OF these two doc
trines may easily produce feeling
that workmen ought to display their
strength at every possible opportunity,
and that it does not much matter u
trade unionism is thereby destroyed.
1t is not surprising that all British Sc
curities are depressed and the general
opinion is that the outlook for British
industry is the gloomiest that 1t has
been for many years.

MR.. MOORE PROMOTED.

Headquarters OF the board OF inter-
state commerce litigation Of the asso-
ciated railways, representing about %
Of the largest and most important rail
roads OF the south, is to be moved to
Washington on October l, and placed
in charge of Mr.. R. Walton Moore, OF
Fairfax, one OF the best known railway
lawyers in the country. This means
that Washington will be the legal CEN
ter OF the Southern railroads, and that
all questions from that section to be re-
ferred to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission first will be passed on by the
Washington Office. Announcement OF
the removal OF the headquarters from
Nashville, where it has been located for
several years, has been made. For
some time efforts had been made to
induce the associated railways to re-
move to Washington. Mr.. Moore will
succeed rs special counsel Judge Ed.
Baxter, who died some time ago.
The board OF interstate commerce
litigation is an organization the pur-
poses Of which are to represent the sew
eral railroad companies OF the south
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. NJ. P. Galloway, Of Macon,
Ga, will be Mr. Moore's assistant at
the Washington Office. The old Nash
vile office will be abolished the latter
part OF the month.
This promotion of Mr.. Moore will
practically take him out OF the field Of
general law practice, but puts him way
up in the railroad world. His host OF
friends throughout the state will re-
joice with him in his advancement, but
many will regret that his new position
will in all probability remove him from
the political field in which he had taken
such interest and in which they be-
lieved big things were in store for
him,

he will drive out the political cor

will be the logical candidate OF the

Roosevelt is undermining the conf
