terday. The prisoner still protests
his innocence and expresses the hope
that his wife will reappear some day
and clear his name.
William Pierpont, the official execu-
tioneer. will not spring the trap to-
morrow. The task has been delegat'
ed to his assistant, John Ellis. BY a
strange course of English law, Ellis
Is today in Pentonville jail, almost as
much prisoner as Crippen himself
On reaching the prison, Ellis first in
spected the gallows, which had been
set up just outside the condemned
mans cell. and declared ii was in
perfect working order.
Ellis was then led 70 a peephole in
Crippen's cell. through which he
studied the doomed man intently for
some time. He was figuring Grip
pens height and weight, so he would
know just how strong rope would
be needed and the proper length 10
make 1t to keep Crippen's feet from
touching the ground when the trap Is
sprung. Ellis then adjusted the rope
on the gallows and tested II with
heavy sandbags.
Under the English law. the execu'
toner will not be permitted to leave
the Jail until he has performed his
gruesome task.

WILL THRESH OUT DISPUTE
OVER CT. CLAIR FLATS DEEDS
James Rouche, Of Detroit, Says Ct
orts viii BE Made To Get
Quick Action oy Courts.

LANSING, Mich, Nov.-s22.z-lSpe
cial)--For nearly year the remains
of the st. Clair Flats commission a
body created through an act passed al
the last session of the legislature
have rested undisturbed. since former
Acknowledgement John z. Bird, VINO
was made a member OF the commits
sion declared that the state had no
legal right To- issue deeds TO the set
tiers. an dthe matter has been In the
court of St. Clair county ever since.
However. there seems to be resui
rectiop day in sight for the commits
sion as James Rouche, OF Detroit, sec
rotary OF the st. Clair Flats protec'
tive association. says that efforts WIZ
be made at once to carry the matter
through the courts and secure a de-
cision that will! determine whether
or not the occupants of land are legal
ly entitled to deeds.
Before the commission discontin-
ued its meetings. Secretary of State
Martindale. Land Commissioner Rus
sell and Auditor-General Fuller were
arrayed against Mr.. Bird on the pro-
position. Mr.. Birds idea was to re-
fuse to issue the deeds and then have
some property holder start suit
against the commission TO compel 1t
to do so that the matter could be
carried to the supreme court and a
decision secured that would enable
the m6lhbers to proceed without fear
of further litigation.
II was Mr.. Birds claim that the
land was simply held in trust by the
state and that the legislature had no
authority to authorize commission
to deed ii away. He stood firm and
when the other members of the COM
mission insisted on issuing deeds he
secured an injunction in the circuit
court of st. Clair county preventing
them from acting, and there the mat
ter has rested for nearly a year. II
is said that Attorney-Gener Kuhn
takes the same view of the matter as
his predecessor.
Deputy Land Commissioner A. c.
Carton says that the state has eX-
pended thousands of dollars in sur
veys at the st. Clair fats and he Is
of the opinion that the matter should
be threshed out at once.

the other members of the legal staff

In view of the repres entations.
Judge Connolly issued a peremptory
order for both sides 10 be ready for
trial at 8 a. m. Monday.
Mrs. Gray. i'm her information, sets
forth that on June Is. 1908, while she
was spending a vacation In Orion,

ed over 356.25 for so shares of Nipis-

FINAL HEARING IN CURRY
CASE SET FOR WEDNESDAY
Judge MandeIl viii Determine Fees
For Trustee Austin, Atty. Boynton
and Accountant Macpherson.

and Accountant Macpherson.
What Judge Mandell hopes will be
the last hearing in the circuit court
arising out OF the failure of Cameron
Currie & Co, will take place We'd.
nesday. when the amount of the fees
to which the trustee. Fred G.. Austin (;
his attorney, Herbert Il. Boynton, and
the expert accountant, +. ii. Mac.
pherson, are entitled will be deter
mined.
Judge Mandell has made up his
mind that these fees shall come out
OF the $4,000 available for distribu
ton among the creditors of the de
funct firm, and It is probable that
the attorneys for these creditors will
make fight to keep down the
amounts allowed. as every cent taken
from that fund will reduce the
amounts recovered by the creditors.
II is said that the fees will amount
to at least 10 per cent OF the moneys
on hand. The case has been in liti
CATION for over two years, and the
trustee, Mr. Austin, has devoted the
greater part of his time to this mat
ter. Attorney Boynton has been In
court "a days on this case. and his
usual court charges are 500 per day
He has also spent weeks working on
the case in his office. The account

MEAT PRICES WILL TUMBLE
WITH MILES BACK ON JOB
Western Ranchman Cuts Detroit Visit
Short To Bring Oklahoma Butch
ers To Time.

There Is going to be something do
ing out In the northwestern part Of
Oklahoma in two or three days. Som
thing is going to drop and it's going
TO be the price of meat for one thing.
Henry A. Miles. brother of G.. H.
Miles, owner of the Griswold-st. vaude-
vile house OF that name, is the man
who will bring this about. Mr.. Miles
has been visiting his brother here. He
had planned to make quite an extend
ed stay, but reports as to the market
conditions In and around Shattuck,
Okla, where he makes his home,
caused him To change his plans some
what.
Mr.. Mites, ii should be explained, a
solutely controls meat prices in his
particular meek of the woods which
comprises an erea eff about 100 square
miles. He owns all the butcher shops
In Shattuck. supplying them from his
ranch out on the prairie, 90 miles
away. During his absence, he learns,
meat prices in his markets have been
soaring without any apparent reason,
while, in other parts of the country
the prices have tumbled. II Is this
situation that is sending Mr.. Miles
scurrying back TO Oklahoma ahead or
time, and Il Is pretty certain that
meat values Will slump in Shattnck
about Friday for he doesn't propose
10 stand by and see his townspeople
held up such fashion.
The Miles ranch near Shattuck IS
one of the most extensive In that part
of the west. Mr.. Miles can't tell,
without looking up his deeds, just how
much area IL covers. nor can he tell
within a few score how many men he
