TOO MANY GIDDY EMPLOYEES
WORKING IN CENSUS BUREAU
victor srurdock's Views

by distracting the minds of perhaps a
hundred girls in her department for an
hour, deprived the government of 100
hours of work or 121h days every time she
has a spasm.
A young man from Maine. who Is a
nervous wreck, is said to be a fair ex-
ample of the trouble. He constantly wor-
ries 10 or 20 clerks who work around him.
He insists on advising and conversing
with his various superior officers during
the busy hours of the day, much to
their discomfort. His parents have been
asked to take him back home, and If they
do not respond he probably will be dis
missed outright.
The amount of gossiping among the
clerks has grown constantly as they have
become better acquainted, 1t is said, and
has become an important factor to be
considered.
'The other day farmer drove by here
with four calves in a wagon" said one
of the officials, "and when those calves
began to bawl some of these country
girls and boys got SO homesck that they
had to stop work and cry for the farm
and mother"
The majority of the clerks are eff
.ci,at, b,tt thpt hptextfaordinafily untitled few,
it is said. are gradually reducing the
general average. until some radical ac-
ton has become necessary.

Victor MurdocIx's Views
wichita, Kans., August 3.-victor Muir
dock. the insurgent leader in congress, in
his home in this city today said regard
Ing the insurgents victory In Kansas
yesterday:
THE significance of the overwhelming
insurgent victories is two-fold.
First: 1t is a complete reputation of
both Cannon and the system by which
he has robbed the people of free gov
ernment in the house. Scott, Miller and
Reeder were chairman of important
house committees, while Calderhead was
on the ways and means committee. All
were beaten because they subscribed to
the Cannon system.
Second: The insurgent victory Is an
effort by the republicans of Kansas to
say with emphasis to the nation that
the republican party of Kansas by in
dorsing Gov. Stubbs and the Kansas in
surgents In Congress, stands for imme-
date and effective legislation framed to
drive special and selfish interests out of
control In American politics

Attorney for Miss Lencve

London, August 3.-The family and
other friends of Miss Leneve became
active in her behalf today and engaged
n provincial solicitor to look after her
interests. The lawyer retained has long
been a friend of the Leneve family, with
whom he shares the conviction that he
girl is innocent of knowledge of the
crime.
The case of the crown so far as the
matter of the extradition of the prison
ers is concerned, also was completed to-
day and the papers from the legal de-
partment of the government turned over
to Sergeant Mitchell. who will sail for
Quebec tomorrow on the steamer Lake
Manitoba.
The evidence which will be laid before
the Canadian judge Is an elaboration of
that taken at the inquest. 1t does not
include the report of Prof. Pepper. the
home office expert, who made the ana
lytical examination of the dismembered
body This omission is significant. as
Pepper is depended upon to determine
the sex of the victim. and II possible to
clihch the identification, of the parts as
having belonged to tho body of Belle
Elmore.
1t is explained that the professors re-
port is not yet complete. The evidence.
however. does include the testimony of
DIR. Marshall. the divisional surgeon OF
police, who at the inquest swore that
it was human flesh that was unearthed
in the Crippen cellar
Added to this are circumstantial ac-
counts of Belle Elmores disappearance
and Crippen's flight. In the opinion of
the authorities this testimony constitutes
prima facie evidence sufficient to secure
extradition, and they are confident It
will be held sufficient by the courts OF
the Dominion of Canada.

Crippen had nothing to do with the dis
appearance of his wife. am sure
of that. and l was intimate in their

London theatrical benefit society. of

though in this country her activity In
forcing her suspicious on the London
police was largely responsible for the
investigation set on foot by Scotland

edge as well as her own.

Quebec August 3-Inspector Dew OF

fessed to the murder of Belle Elmore, his
wife.
III you chaps do not stop pestering

Joseph Moren, Crippen's jailer, was
equally positive that no word of con-
fession had come from the dentists lips.
Attorney General Gouin and judge
Langelier, before whom the man and his
girl companion Ethel Leneve, were ar
raigned. said they had heard nothing or
a confession, and they secuted the idea
that Crlppen could have made one TO Dew
without their knowledge.
The foregoing denials came on top OF
vague rumcrs OF unknown origin that
there had beer a confession, although IN
spector Dew spent barely five minutes
wtn Crippen curing the entire day. This
visit he made to the dentists cell this
afternoon to obtain Crippen's answer to
