letter through the mails on the 10th,
although nothing came of it. He
did not report to the sheriff's office
until after the threatened trouble
had passed, and then treated the
matter as a joke. The letter is now
in the sheriff's possession and a
copy of it is given below:
Dear Sir: Being that We are
broke we take this means of getting
a few dollars. and you are the in
tended victern. this money will be
placed in the mail box on road and
must be there by the 10th of July
at 10 o'clock in the eveinney. if you
fail sudden death waits you you are
being watcher steady. $500 is the
required sum. beware betrail."
The spelling of the letter was just
as it is given above. The letter was
signed with a skull and crossbones,
black-hand, and thumb-print sigma
ture. Around the skull and cross
bones were the letters D at the top,
and A at the bottom, H over 7 on
the left hand side, and E on the
right hand side.
This first letter, with it's harmless
ending, was, in a large measure, re-
sponsible for the officers failure to
catch the man last night. They did
not think that the black-hand man
amounted to very much and their
plans were not as carefully laid as
they might have been.
1t will be noticed that both let
tiers had the same $500 demand,
both were signed with black hands
and crossbones. Otherwise there
was no similarity.
The first letter was written with
small regard for spelling and none
for capitalization, while the second
was that of a fairly we'll educated
person, except that the word dyna-
mite was spelled in feeble manner,
The only similarity in the writing OF
the two was in the blackhand style
The second letter was better writ
ten.

]. H. Warrick yesterday brought
suit in the superior court of Spokane
county against the Great Northern
Railway company, asking $500 for
injuries he received as brakeman

The plaintiff alleges that while his
train was on the Columbia river sid

after it to climb aboard. The track
was torn up and there was no proper

stumbled and fell, cutting long

London, July 16.-Surrounded by
a Gordon of regular police and Scot
land Yard detectives, Hawley Grip
pen, called the most skillful GRIMM
al of the age, today is in hiding in
London with his beautiful young
companion, Mile. Ethel Leneve, with
little prospect of escaping, accord
ing to the authorities.
While the police believe they
have Crippen caught in an mex
tricable web, the detectives are d.
recting their energies toward ascer-
tanning the movements of the sus-
pected man at the time his wife, for
merly Belle Gilmore, Polish noble
woman and famous singer, was MUIR
dered.
Mrs. Crippen was sent to her
death in the lonely house at 80 Hill
drop Crescent, Islington, about Feb
ruary End, the police believe. The
Crippens were alone in the old
structure, save for the frequent
visits of Mile. Leneve, between
whom and the dead woman there
existed bitter antipathy.
Murderer Trained in Surgery.
The man who Is alleged to have
killed Mrs. Crippen was a trained
physician and surgeon. He was a
man, the police say, used to the
handling of the scalpel and the
knife. expert in compromising and
giving drugs and scientifically
trained in the knowledge of their
effects.
Mrs. Crippen was poisoned and
her husband gave her the fatal
drug" declared DR.. Peter, the gov
eminent analyst, one of the keen
est students of medical jurlspru-
dence in England. Whether Grip
pen was assisted in his work by
Mile. Leneve cannot be determined,
although the police believe such to
be the case and have brought a
charge of murder against her as an
accessory.
Il believe that the mutilation and
dissection of the body was an after
thought ON the part of the murder
err. The man who killed Mrs. Grip
pen knew the insOlubility of certain
elements in quick lime and added
chemicals to facilitate their dIsso-
luton. For that reason the body is
in far worse condition than Ordin-
arily would have been the case
from free lime. Then, too, the muir
derer carefully exercised the larger
bones of the body, thereby hasten
Ing the action of the lime.

"The trouble is, think, that
churches hire old men with old fogy
ideas in preference to young, pro-
gressive men, A young man who ac-
cords with the old fogy ideas is a dub
to begin with, and one who accepts
them to get position is a hypocrite.
The church is losing force because it
lacks originality. New ideas require
constant adaptability, in religion, as
well as art--new methods must be
adopted to meet new conditions So.
If one church in this city is crowded
and another empty, it is not because
q different gospel Is being preached,
but because the same gospel is being
preached differently"

PEOPLE PLEASED
WITH TAFT LAWS
Success of Administrator Measures
Strengthens the Presidents
Policy.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June ga
The success which the Taft admins
tration has attained in the last
week in pushing important measures
through congress. and in bringing
the solid republican vote in behind
them, is being reflected in reports
coming to Washington from all parts
OF the country OF the growth Of the
presidents popularity.
Congressman from the west and
middle west that only a few weeks
ago were bitter in criticism of the
Taft administration have been re
ceiving letters and kilograms which
indicate that the passage OF the rail-
road bill and other administration
measures has done much to strength
en- the presidents standing, giving the
Impression that Colonel Roosevelt is
satisfied with the Taft administration
and viii come out strongly In sup
port OF It.
The success Is also helping to clear
the situation in the west, and Presi-
dent Taft's friends here are In better
spirits now than they have been any
time this season. They believe that
Insurgency is ON the wane, and that
when the present congress finishes its
work and lays before the country an
impressive list Of bills passed Mr..
Taft's hard-earned victory win be
generally recognized.
The president is greatly pleased
with the way congress has responded
to his requests. and it is apparent
that he is sharing the belief of his
friends that there are brighter DAYS
ahead for his administration.
President Taft has already got the
railroad bin and statehood bin
through congress. and It Is practical

"The successful preacher must,
first Of all, be amusing. entertaining.

cause he viii have no one to whom

crowded 1t is because pleasurable

Religion can not reach a man II he
has to fight to keep from going to

These are observations of Edwards
Davis. actor, playwright, composer
and man Of letters, once the Rev. Ed
wards Davis, president Of the Christ
ian Endeavor society in California
and pastor of an Oakland church.
Mr.. Davis spoke Of religious topics
after his performance of THE Pic
ture OF Dorian Gray" at the Or
pheum theater yesterday afternoon.
My primary reason in leaving the
ministry he said. was because l
felt growing in me the character of
the artist. II remained in the pull

continue In the ministry because Of
the sole conviction that be has a
message to deliver is In my mind
worse than a deliberate infldel. The
infidel Is at least sincere; the pro-
fessional preacher Is . hypOcrite, and
hell's too good for him"
Here Mr.. Davis explained the dis
tinction between the preacher and the
artist, The moment a sermon be-
comes essentially artistic. It loses ifs

greatest soul-savers were men dis
