Dry Farming.

Spokane, Washington,-D. E.
Dover, who is making dry farm ex-
periments at McNeal, Cochise county,
Arizona, has written to John T. Burns,
secretary of the Dry Farming Con-
gress, to bring the matter of supple
mental irrigation to the attention of
the convention in Spokane, October
3 to 6. He says:-
"Arizona is not credited with suf-
ficient rainfall to make dry farming
a success, and to be successful by
such methods in this arid region we
must supplement the rainfall by
pumping with mills or engines in the
winter and early spring, and have
sufficient moisture stored in the
ground, which, together with the
annual rainfall, will ensure good
crops.
"We have large valley here, the
Sulphur Spring valley with something
over l 100000 acres of splendid farm
ing land OIL which supplement irriga-
ton could be practised protitably.
"Our experiment station for dry
farming is the first established in
Arizona and although this is only its
second season it has done muc
valuable work.%
Mr.. Bower adds that great interest
is being developed everywhere in the
Forthcoming dry farming congress
and he looks for a large delegation
from Arizona attending the sessions
in Spokane.

Bank Examiners Are Shaken Up.

Washington. - Twenty national
banks examiners, about one-ffth of
the force employed by the govern
ment, were transferred to new fields
September by an order from Law
renee o. Murray, comptroller of the
currency.
Following closely on the sudden call
for condition of national banks, which
was made on September ?, and the
announcement of the comptroller
that he would in the future person
ally pass upon the applications of
banks which wished to hold reserves,
the shake-up among the examiners
is taken as another indication of the
intention to enforce to the letter the
provisions of the national bank act.
The letter, it is now learned, was
specially issued to meet the assertion
that the calls had been made at such
regular intervals that bankers knew
about when to expect them, and man
aged to arrange their affairs accord
ingly.
The transfer of the twenty exam
liners may be the forerunner of 9th
ers. The object of the changes, il
was said at the treasury department
is to throw the examiners into frest
fields, where personal acquaintance
or possibility of influence is lacking

Mistakes Beads For Costly Gems.

New York,-Herr E. Heyma IN,
German jewelry dealer, who has just
reached New York from Bremen, has
the laugh on several of Collector
Loeb's customs sleuths. When Herr
Heyman's ship arrived at its pier he
was one of the the first to place him
self in the hands of the inspectors.
The customs man assigned to in
spect his belongings suddenly came
upon a blue bag that could easily hold
two quarts of green peas. The bag
was full of brilliants, and the glare of
the first handful he fshed out almost
blinded the Inspector.
Diamonds" he called out in con-
siderable excitement.
He motioned for assistance and
more customs men came up and put
their hands in the bag. Then an ap-
praiser, hurriedly summoned, took a
the stones.
"Beads, that's all!'' he said.
All in all, about a dozen bags of the
Offering brilliants were brought to
view.
Suppose they were. diamonds what
do you think they would be worth<"
"About 81, 900, 900, OOO,O OO," he an
swered.
"Yes-in stage money!" murmured
the appraiser.
Herr Hermann paid $50 duty and
left the pier with his glittering beads.

Senator LOrimer RESIGNS From Club.

Chicago.-A terse note of resigna-
tion from the Hamilton club of which
he had been a member many years,
was the reply made here by United
States Senator William Lorimer to
the action of the club president,
John II. Batten in withdrawing his
invitation to the Roosevelt banquet.
While Senator Lorimer urged that
his resignation be accepted imme-
diately, it is said his friends on the
club board of governors probably will
refuse to vote its acceptance.
The correspondence from President
Batten to Senator Lorlmer revealed,
it was shown that the senator was to
have been one of the guests of honor
at the banquet. This correspondence
also showed that it had been the hope
of the club to make the dinner nota
BILE as a harmonious occasion at
which all factions of the republican
party could break bread together.
At least three invita- tions were
sent to Lorimer, each urging him to
attend the banquet, and to the last
of these he sent his acceptance.
The note of resignation was writ
ten after a conference of the senator
with number of his intimate friends
and at first was belieyed to be a cue,
which would be followed by a number
of his admirers in the club. Later
it was decided by his friends to pre-
vent the acceptance of the resigna-
ton.
Pittsburg.-When Colonel Roose-
welt beard that Senator Lorimer had
resigned from the Hamilton club he
was greatly interested, but would
make not comment

HAVEN'T DECIDED
TO BUY CEMETERY
City May Try to Exchange a
New Site for the Burial
Ground

No definite action has been taken
as yet In the project for the city 20
acquire the old Ezion (colored) ceme-
terry and the frame dwelling houses
I'm the vicinity of Second and Union
streets. The subject was referred TO
committee of City Council and the
Park Commission and was discussed
by them.
A question arose as to whether
clear title could be given to the ceme-
terry and other properties, and this
phase Of the proposed deal was re-
ferred to City Solicitor Brady and to
attorneys for the cemetery company
and the owners of the dwellings in
volved. They are now searching
titles, and everything is I'm abeyance
until they make their report.
According to President OF Council
James L. Banning. no price has been
agreed upon for the properties, nor
has it been decided whether the sites
will be used for park purposes should
the cemetery and dwellings around
Front and Union streets be acquired
by the city.
II is said that an effort is to be
made TO try to have the city provide
a new cemetery site somewhere and
to remove the bodies from the pres
ent burial places to the new place, in
return for exchange for the site OF
the present cemetery. Whether this
plan can be put through remains tc
be seen.

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON. Nov. 23.-Dr. Hawley
Crippen. American citizen. was hanged
this morning in the yard or Penton-
Vile iail for the murder OF his wife,
Cora Crippen, known In the music
halls as Belle Gilmore.
Crippen met death with the same
courage that had marked his conduct
since he was apprehended at Father
Point, Quebec. Not once did he falter
on the march TO the gallOws, nor did
he break down when the moose was
being drawn about his neck.
The trap was sprung exactly at y
O'Clock. A seven-foot drop was sut-
ficient to break the prisoners neck
and death was reported by the ply
sicians to have been instantaneous.
Ethel Clare Leneve, for love of
whom Crippen is charged with having
murdered his wife and buried her
body in the cellar OF their Hilldrop
Crescent home, did not see her lover
after the painful parting Of yeste day.
Miss Leneve had booked passage on
the Majestic, sailing for New York

the name OF Miss Allen"

fused to allow any one to question the
condemned man regarding his alleged
confession, as published in the Even
ing Times. Solicitor Newton, Miss
Leneve. the jail officials and the prison
officials of the home office, together
with Father Carey, all issue emphatic
denials that Crippen had confessed.
Despite these denials, the Evening
Times to-day repeats that the confes-
sion was made and publishes an os-
tensible statement In the third person
purpOrting to have been made by
Crippen to a friend.
