STUDIED CRIPPEN
TRIAL In LONDON
Capt. cassidy Cook Makes
Visit to Washington.

Capt. cassidy Cook, a welI-known at
torney Of New York City. who was sent
abroad to study English criminal pro-
cedure as revealed in the Crippen trial.
Is in Washington on legal business. and
proposes to spread far and wide all pos
sible information which will result IN the
Improvement Of American criminal law.
NO intelligent person hearing the evil
dence against DR.. Crippen could doubt
for moment HIS guilt of willful muir
der" he says 1.-The crowns proof against
him, though wholly eircumstantial, con-
clusively established the elements OF pre-
meditation, elaboration and malice afore-
thought
Gould there have been a scintilla OF
belief IN the trial jurors minds I'D TO
the moment the accused took the stand
that he may have been innocent, Crlppen
by lis evasive manner, contradictory evil
dence. and frequent refusal to answer
questions, banished any possible doubt
that he murdered Belle Elmore. His
heartless references to her and his insin-
uauons against her marital fidelity surely
dissipated any lingering sympathy the
audience may have had FOR him.
1.-The English law and criminal pro-
eedure affords the accused every possible
opportunity 20 establish his Innocence
and safeguards fully his every right. but
on the other hand, it presents no loop
holes OF escape for the guilty upon fimsv.
hair-splitting technicalities 1t tolerates
no trifiing dilatory pleas. no needlessly
ong-drawn-out trials. and no hystericaI
appeals Of maudlin sympathy TO the Jury.
The orderly precision of the British
criminal trials could be well emulated tn
this country"
Capt Cook viii shortly make a detailed
and technical report of the Crippen trial
to many bar associations in this country,
He IS stopping at the New Willard.

Classic Numbers.

Although the programme consisted of
classic numbers exclusively. every one
OF d solemn. impressive tendency, there
was just enough variation in tempera-
ment and tempo TO make it most at
traetive.
The chorus sang exceptionally well. all
parts blending tremendously, and with
precision and fine feeling. Leader and
chorus understood, each other through all
the variations and changes OF feeling,
producing an almost fiawless vocal mas
terpiece. The same must be- said Of the
orchestral part The Symphony Orches-
ira is composed Of artists, every one Of
them, and under the magnetic influence
and direction of Prof Hammer their
execution of the various numbers was
perfect in every respect.
OF the soloists. only praise should be
bestowed. Miss Wycoff has a most SYM
pathetic voice, which is perhaps more
appreciated in the higher register. 1t Is
we'll modulated, but hardly CT sufficient
volume 10 do fun justice TO Weber's
"Freischuetz." She was applauded re-
peatedly, but did not encore. Her Ave
Maria" by Brueh. was sung beautifully
but also lacked force.
A Wagner Singer.
Marcus hellermans splendid voice goes
hand in hand with his fine presence. He
presents the typical Wagner singer. and
his ''NNotans Abschied und FeuerZauber"
were masterpieces. His voice has the
fullness and power as well as the
majesty and tunefulness to be heardA to
fine advantage with a Wagner orchestra
ton. His solo in Griegs "Landkennung'
was impressive, strong, and beautiful
Last night was the first public appear
ance OF Prof. Hammer as the musical
director OF the Sasngerbund. 1t was no
ticeable that the cnorus. or rather the
various parts. sang with improved under
standing. a better interblending Of voices.
and quicker and more correct response
TO its leader. The voices which hereto
fore at times were strident and inde-
pendent are now soft. yet strong and har-
monious. Prof Hammer was presented
with a bouquet of roses.

have been luckiest when trying TO
help out a catcher. for instance. a
pitcher can make all sorts OF trouble
for catcher. or he can make his
work comparatively easy. Sometimes
have noticed that my catcher was
having troubles and working too hard

tried to ease up on him by changing
the style of pitching. 1t may be only
a superstitious fancy. but 1t seems TO
me I always had good luck when

morning paper to have her eye caught
by the advertisement headed: Why
Pay Rent?" A contractor had erected
severa! houses which he was anxious
TO dispose of for cent or two down
and the balance, the same as cheap
rent. In year or two. paying the
very lowest rent in America. the pur.
chaser OF one OF these houses would
have a clear title 10 it. II was better
than gold mine Your money was
working for you every day in the
week.
Before the bride had read that ad.
vertisement through, she had deter.
mined to show 1t to James that eve
ming. When she had finished it her
mind was made up to give him glad
surprise. The breakfast things had
scarcely been cleared away when she
donned her hat and set out. She found
the street and the houses and the
philanthropist. The houses had been
painted with only one coat. but that
was to give purchasers a chance to
put on the last coat TO suit their
tastes. The houses about covered the
lots. but that was an advantage. II
hogs got in there was no place for
them TO root. Every objection raised
was met and turned TO the advantage
of the buyer. In fact. it was a case Of
philanthropy all through.
Mrs. Carter expected up to a Ger.
tain point TO get the house she had
decided on for five cents down and
FIVE dollars a month as rent That Ger.
tain point was when she was told
that she must pay $50 down and SIS
per month. The selling price was 81.
500. and as she stood with her mouth
open the contractor remarked that the
s25 per month would pay for the house
almost before she could get settled
He had given 50 different persons
the same chance. and in very few
minutes-or days-they were house
owners and tax payers.
The house was bought. There would
be papers for herself and husband to
sign after two or three days, but she
had to leave her $50 then and there
That was TO prevent the contractor
from selling the house to some one
willing to pay $4,000 for 1t.
