man lost his life and property valued
at $I50000 was destroyed when the
big warehouse OF the Peerless Port
land Cement Co. here burned yester-
day morning.
George ]. Stevens, an employe OF
the company, was last seen alive In
the factory and is missing. II is Rl-
most a certainty that he was burned
to death.
The FIRE originated from a small
stove and although discovered early
the flames spread very rapidly and
we're soon beyond control OF the VII
Iage department. The warehouse,
which was 800 by 100 feet. was totally
consumed. together with 10000 bar
rels OF manufactured cement. All the
valuable machinery was also ruined.
The company carried S11S000 In

case before and was astonishingly un-
familiar with his case.
Three days after Crippen was con.
demned TO death, Ethel Leneve was
tried as accessory. AS her barrister
there appeared F. E. Smith. But
Arthur Newton was her solicitor. He
had prepared Crippen's case for Tob
In, and he prepared the case for
Smith. Smith was OF course under
no obligation to Crippen. but was not
Newton, who was still discussing the
matter of an appeal for the condemn
ed man?
Smith then, addressing the jury on
the strength OF case supplied TO
him by Newton. said Ethel Leneve
had the misfortune TO cross the path
at the age OF seventeen, OF one OF the
most dangerous and remarkable men
who have lived in this century--Crip.
pen. imperturbable, INSCRIPTIONS,
dominating and fearing neither God
nor man, and yet man insinuating
and attractive and immoral For
seven years she was under that in
fiuence.
"Crippen risked his neck. He cool
~ weighed every chance. He did his
terrible work with no accomplice. no
witness, and as he thought, leaving
behind him no trace. Ii is now sug.
gested that the man who, with hend-
ish calculation. covered up every
trace which might betray his hideous
secret, told this young nervous wo-
man that he had committed a mur-
der"
Considering that this was Crippen's
own solicitors opinion Of his client,
expressed through Barrister Smith.
at time when Crippens case was
still pending appeal, II is not to be
much wondered at that Crippen was
unable to escape the moose.

Rev. W. H. W. Rees, who, for
the past five years, has been the
pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church of Seattle, has
perhaps done more in the way OF
church building than any other
man in the Northwest. When
he became the pastor of the
church it was practically without
a home and only had $50, 900 in
the bank to begin the purchase
of new church edifice, which
the congregation contemplated
building. Almost from the
very day DR.. Rees assumed
the duties of pastor he plunged
into the arduous task of raising
money for the new edifice and
while he was ably assisted by his
members, he was always found
on the firing line and the work
went steadily on until, when he
left for the annual conference
one day this week, which is in
session at Centralia, he was able
to say, "the church debt has
been completely wiped out and
all of the church benevolences
for the present conference year
have been provided for"
All told the new church has
cost in the neighborhood of $780,
900 and, as said above, all of
that money has been raised dur
ing the five years that DR.. Rees
was pastor of the church. Just
how any one. who was cogniz-
ant of the work DR.. Reese has
done since he was pastor of the
church, could think other than
we'll of him is more than any
sane person could figure out and
yet, it is said, that one or two
members of the church always
threw obstacles in the path
way of the good work and in
stead of helping always hindered.
Such Downey wolves in sleeps
clothing should be expelled from
the connection and so marked
that they could never again get
admission into the connection.
