MIA Pharmaceutical Board, who recently

opium sellers in Philadelphia, says that
As per cent OF all criminals are addicted
to drug habit of some sort. He adds
that the use of opium in this country
has increased $50 per cent since 1850
and that 100000 Americans and TO-
900 Chinese in the United. States smoke
16S, 900 pounds Of opium every year.
He favors life imprisonment for criml-
nails known to be drug .users. If !

would put them all in an asylum, where
I would keep them until they died.
Very few of them ever get cured OF the
habit. While under restraint they can
do without their dope, but remove The

RosEsHEIMER ACQUITTED.

After only 80 minutes of deliberation
a jury late yesterday acquitted Edward
T. Rosenheimer OF criminal negligence
in causing the death of Miss Grace
Hough by running down in his auto
mobile the buggy in which she was rid
ing, in Now York. The case had been
followed with close attent on, because
OF the wealth Of the defendant and the
attempt of the people to convict for
murder.
On the showing of the evidence, how
ever, Justice O'Gorman withdrew from
consideration of the jury the charge OF
murder in the first degree, then OF muir
der in the second degree and, finally,
manslaughter in the first degree, but
submitted the lowest form of murder,
mansaughter in the second degree.
The question for you gentlemen to
decide" he said, is, Did the defendant
employ reasonable care? Did he have
his car under reasonable controH"
Evidence was adduced to show that
the buggy carried no tail lamp and that
it was carclcssly driye.i, and the jury
found the testimony sufficient. Rosen-
hcimer's young wife became hystercal
with Joy when she learned the verdict.

DAUGHTER BORN TO CHINESE
SECRETARY.

There is a new arrival ut the Chinese
legation at Washington about whom
the members are making much ado. 1t
is the little daughter of the honorary
secretary. Henry Kumphy Chang, and
Mrs. Isabelle Tong Chang. Were it
not that = physician unfamiliar with
the fact that foreign legations are
exempt from complying with local or
dinauces registered the arrival Of the
new baby at the municipal building, its
advent would not have been officially
noted.
The parents were surprised to learn
OF the registration OF the baby. They
we're consoled, however, by the know
ledge that a curious pubic does not
know little Miss Changes full name,
something which is supposed to be kept
secret until two weeks have elapsed.

CRIpPEN'S APPEAL DISMISSED
The American Doctor Must Die on the
GaIlows Next Tuesday.

London, Nov. 5.-Dr. Harvey
Hawley Crippen must die on the
gallows next Tuesday for the murder
OF his wife, Belle Elmore Crippen, I'M
less the Home Secretary interferes.
The Court of Appeals today dismissed
motion made by Crippen for an
appeal, ruling that there was not
grounds for another hearing.
Deathly pale, his twitching mouth
showing the strain under which he was
holding himself together, Crippen
presented pathetic appearance when
he faced the court today.
His attorneys won the first skirmish,
by being given the right to argue on
the question OF the, appeal. Justice
Ridley ruled that the prisoner could
not be present during the arguments.
But as soon as the court met in full
session, Justices Darling, Channel
and Pickford overruled Ridlcy's orders
md sent for the prisoner.
As soon as Crippen appeared, he be-
gan to confer with his counsel. Barris-
ter Tobin's first plea was that the
Jurors had not been isolated and that
here mi ght have been outside COM
.nunication. This plea was overruled
by the justices.
Tobin then contended that the
prosecution introduced important evil
Icnce at an improper time, and in this
way deprived the defense OF its right to
rebuff the evidence.
This plea did not make much i'm
preston on the court, and Tobin then
declared that the body was not suffi
GENTLY identified as that of Belle Ell
more Crippen. He contended that the.
Identification, even if it had been posi-
tive, would not have proved that
murder had been committed.
In his final summing up, he said
that even If it had been proved that a
murder had been committed there vas
no proof that Crippen was the murderer.
The justices then declared that no
sufficient ground had been shown for
rehea,ing Crippen's attorneys, though
greatly disappointed, declared that their
next step would lie to ask the Home
Secretary to either 10 commute the
death sentence to life Imprisonment or
to grant Crippen complete pardon.
It is considered most unlikely that any
,ower nov can intervene TO save the
prisoner from dying Oh the scaffold
next Tuesday, The general belief is
that the home Secretary will decline to

Government Expenses.

Washington, November 5.-Presi-
dent Taft this afternoon took active
ersonal chqage Of the economy hunt
in the governmental business by aG.
dressing at the White House the
members OF the various departmental
committees appointed at his direction
to devise modern business methods for
the government. The executive wants
a change made in the present method
of estimating expenditures. The depart
mental estimates" OF appropriations
desired, AS they are prepared atpresent,
are misleading and do not furnish an
exact statement of where the money is
to 90. As eyidcncing the need for
further classification, the president has
cited the item miscellaneous" which
is invariably tackled on to depart
mental estimate. No cabinet officer
could be found who knew exactly what
these miscellaneous /" expenses
were, but inquiry in the depart
ments resulted in eliciting the in
formation that President Mckinley
had originally devised the miscel.
Ianeous columns" as place in which
to indicate all expenditures arising
out OF the civil war" Year by year
the "miscellaneous" column was fur
Their stretched, so that it now includes
pretty nearly every sort OF an expense.
1t is to secure clear, succinct state
ment of the nature Of the expenses for
which appropriation is asked, that the
president wants his economy workers
to first direct their attention. They we're
asked today to assist in the preparation
Of model budget. Tho men. upon
whom the executive relies to do this
work are the, various departmental.
