Congress Cheers City
Especial Dispatch TO The Call
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Represent-
ative Kahn got a lively round of ap-
plause in the house today, when, after
reminding his colleagues that this was
the fourth anniversary of the San Fran
cisco fire, he told how the city had
arisen from it's ashes more glorious
than ever and was going to have a
magnificent exposition in 1915. to
which everybody was invited.
The smoking embers had not
cooled" said Kahn, "ere the work of
rehabilitation was fairly begun. 1t
was stated that it would take fully
two years to remove the debris from
the burned area. With aggressiveness
and the grit and enterprise so charac-
teristic of the American people, the
citizens of San Francisco boldly
tackled the task of reconstruction and,
as if touched by a magIcian's wand,
block after block of new buildings
arose again to house those who had
been prominent in the city's marts of
trade. San Francisco has today the
finest retail shopping district of any
city in the whole world"
Kahn then proceeded to boost the
Panama-Pacifc international exposition

London, November 23.-Dr. II. II.
Crippen, who was hanged today for
the murder of his wife, Belle Elmore
has confessed, according to the Lon.
don Times.
1t is understood that DIR. Crippen is
arranging with The Evening Times TO
give it the confession in order to get
money to care for. his partner in flight,
Ethel Clare Leneve. lie also stipulated
that Il portion of the money was to
90 to his old father in California. AS
an act of mercy the authorities have
kept from the doctor the fact that his
father died of broken heart and he
will go to the gallows without that
knowledge. The confession, it is un-
derstood, tells of the quarrels between
Crippen and his wife, caused originally
by his jealousy of attentions paid to
her by male admirers. They quar-
relied most of the time i'm recent years,
he is reported to have said, with the
result that he grew to depend OH Miss
Leneve for sympathy.
Finally Mrs. Crippen became cogni-
zant of the Doctors relations with his
stenosrapher and upbraided both q
them.

TAINTED TITLES TO BE
THROWN ON JUNK PILE
COUNT MARTIO DE NASCIMENTO
TOLD TO SKIDOO.
Hard-Heade1 Business Man Like 7. c..
Maben Could Not Stand for the
LEG Pulling" Game That This
Scion of Once Noble Family
Was About to Play; the Marriage
Is Called OFF,
Especial to The Free Press.1

Birmingham, Ala, November %
Tainted titles are at 4 discount in Bir-
mingham. }. c. Maben, president OF the
Gloss Sheffield Steel and Iron company
and Il rd-hcadcd man of business. is
said to have given the ''skidoO' sign
to Count Martio de Nascimento OF Por-
tuga, whose marriage to Mr.. Maben's
daughter, Miss Elizabeth, had been set
for today. The iron magnate disagreed
violently with the count in regard to
a marriage settlement. Rumor has it
that the noble, claiming at first to be
actuated only by the sincerest and most
disinterestcd affection for the fair Bir-
mmgham girl, put off his financial de-
mands until the date and arrangements
for the marriage had been completed.
Has No Standing as Noble.
Although the count is the scion of a
family as old as the House of Bra
ganza itself, his title is somewhat
clouded by the fact that the new Por-
unguesc republic has announced the
abolition of all patents OF nobility.
Count Martio therefore has no stand
ing as 4 noble in his home country.
1t is reported here that a large num-
ber Of Portuguese mobiles are now in
this country or will soon come over to
search for wealthy wives. Under the
monarchy. the Portuguese nobility
waXed fat and prosperous from the la
Dor of the poor, but that condition
no longer exists, and many men with
imposing titles now find themselves
forced to choose between marrying
American heiresses or going to work.

site the Saulpau9h the animal drop
ped dead upon the pavement The
officer fell heavily on his left side
and his left leg was caught under
the horse. He was picked up and
carried to the police station and Drs.
j. W. and Roy Andrews were sum

found that he had sustained frac-
turc and dislocation OF his left should

at midnight lie was removed to his
home, wheer he was resting easily to-
day The physicians state that he will

St Louis. Jan. 17.-That the PROB
len, Of the cost Of living will cause the
overthrow Of the Republican party IN
a very short time. unless something
not now on the horizon appears 10
save 1t. Is the belief Of Colonel George
Harvey. editor OF Harper's Weekly
who is in the city.
Colonel Harvey blames the tarln
policy Of the Republicans for the ex-
cessive prices to which the necessaries
Ct life have been forced. together with
the fact that the brunt OF the hard
ship has fallen upon the middle class
es. The people who compose these
classes. he thinks. will see to It that
the party which is not only responsible
for the increase. but has also betrayed
the country through false promises. Is
driven from power.
For this reason IL seems TO me the
Democratic party could do not better
than to conane itself to the issue Of
the high cost Of living" said Colone
Harvey.
