OCEAN LINERS IN RACE.

The Hamburg-American steamship
Deutschland, which, during the first SIX
years OF her service to New York, held
the record for fast voyages from the
channel ports across the Atlantic, will
arrive today from Hamburg some
eight hours behind the North German
Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
an older vessel by three years.
The Deutschland and the Kaiser
were off the Chcrbourg Breakwater
together on Wednesday, taking on
their passengers from Paris. The
Deutschland got away ten minutes
ahead of the Kaiser, and it was thought
would leave her far behind on the run
to New York.
The wireless reports received last
night from both vessels, however, show
that the Kaiser has overhauled the
Deutschland and will beat her into port
by about eight hours. The Kaiser was
reported ut 1913 miles east Of Sandy
Hook ut 500 p. m. while the Deutsch-
land was 1913 miles east Of the Hook ut
5 p. m. The Kaiser, on which Senator
Root is passenger, will dock about 5
a. m. The Deutschland will hardly
dock before 4 p. m. Both vessels were
built in the Vulcan yards at Stettin,
Germany, the Deutschland in 1900 and
the Kaiser in 1897. The Deutschland
still holds the record run between
Naples and New York. New York

New Hampshire for many years, lead
ers OF both the progressive and stand
pat stripes are hustling today to get out
every available vote in the primary
election, the first ever held here in
which the two factions are warning to

TWO WOMEN CLAIM HIM.

GTTwo women faced Judge Akun in
Police Court in Washington yesterday,
each claiming Barney Deitsch, Rus
sian house painter, rs her husband.
Without the least pretense OF wisdom
like Solomons, the Judge let neither
have the Russian, but sent him behind

America to escape army service and
seek wealth. Barney forgot Sarah and
Sarah came to America. Saturday
night she stood beside policeman
who knocked at a Seventh street door

qucried.

PRESIDENT TAFT, to use Il modern
expression, seems to be up against

day was apparently IN attempt to
play the part of Il molliticr, +" but
with feeble result. AS he could not
afford to do otherwise, bc praised
Theodore Roosevelt, and made a
plunge at Pinchot. He placed him
self in paradoxical position before he
closed by saying:
In these days there is disposition
to look too much TO the federal gov
eminent for everything. J am liberal
in the construction of the constitution
with reference to federal power, but
] am firmly convinced that the only
safe course for us to pursue Is to hold
fast to the limitations of the constitu-
ton and to guard as sacred the powers
of the states.
In an authorized interview pub
lished in McCIure's Magazine last May
he is represented rs saying:
have one aim in the presidency
to make a broad and permanent all
vance in the powers OF the federal
government.
That the republican party has ever
looked upon states rights with con
tempt has been shown since It's birth.
Oliver P. Morton. senator from

GIBBONS ON SOCIAL UNREST.

Cardinal Gibbons, in an Interview IN
Baltimore yesterday said that much OF
the existing unrest througout the
United States which is hampering the
progress of the country ut the present
time is due to the too common lack OF
enconomy by the present generation
and the desire for too many luxu-
rieS.
THE people believe" he said,
that they must have automobiles,
must go to the theatres and must have
many other things more or less expen-
sivc without which their father and
grandfathers got along we'll enough
and prospered. The desire prevents 4
sensible conservation OF the peoples re-
sources.
THE North American Review as
cribes one OF the causes of the prevail
ing unrest to the popular agitation
against the trusts. But the people must
remember that in our days there is a
universal tendency toward organization
in every department Of trade and bust
ness.
Common sense treatment OF the so
called ills OF which people OF this
country arc complaining will result, the
people will find, in their importance
being greatly reduced. The country is
growing fast, and with such rapid
growth it is impossible that all conditions
should be perfect, but what ills there
are, what causes OF unrest prevail, may
nj, be minimized or overcome by the
exercise of a Christian spirit and the
application Of common sense. ="

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 6

IT IS little short OF the truth to say
that the German nation has been
thrown into violent CONFUSION by the
speech of Emperor William at koc-
nigsburg, during his journey through
eastern Germany ion the Goth, full re-
ports OF which did not get to the papers
till two days later, Taking for his text
the role Of Queen Louise OF Prussia III
the Napoleonic wars. the kaiser urged
the virtues of military s,bordination
In defense OF the country and the home
virtues for women. Then, alludlng t"
William |, he said: My grandfather
again, by his own right, placed the
Prussian crown upon his head ana
again proclaimed it to be bestowed
upon him by Gods grace alone, and
not by parliaments, assemblagcs OF inc
people or resolutions OF the people, ana
that he saw in himself the chosen IN
strument of heaven, and rs such he re-
garded his duty as regent and ruler.
Considering myself us the instrument
OF the Master, regardless OF passing
views and opinions, | gomy way, which
is solely devoted to the prosperity ana
peaceful development OF our father
land" This was throwing down the
gauntlet to German socialism and lib
eraiism with a vengeance. 1t was the
more startling rs being the first out
break of the emperor since the reich
STAG forced the muzZlc on him two
years ago, after his London Telegraph
interview. The radical press has voiced
the fierce resentment OF the social de-
mocracy, and even the conservative
journals have deprecated this latest
appeal to the theory OF tho divine
rights of kings. Both liberals and
socialists regard the speech us Il dclib-
crate challenge to their prctcnsons OF
constitutional authorities and TO parlla-
mentary government. Only tic organs
of the landed nobility approve the
speech. In all other directions the de
mapd at once was made to know II the
chancellor was cognizant Of what the
kaiser was to say. But Bcthman-Holl-
veg remained discreetly silent hoping
that the popular wrath would blow over.
But signs indicate that the anger OF
the people grows greater daily as the
discussion of the speech continues. 1t
appears that the speech was carefully
prepared, and in its published form Is
even less bold than Us uttered, having
beed toned down somewhat by the en-
peror's advisers before giving out copies
to the press. In later speech at
Marienburg Monday the kaiser tried to
explain his previous one 10y saying that
he had assumed that every honest
Christian lived and worked under n
high commission from the Lord, and
that he was doing the same.

THE EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS-
Preparations for Reception to Cardinal
VannutelIi In MontreI Tonight.

: Montreal, Sept. 6.-The formal
opening OF the Twentieth Eucharistic
Congress, which takes place tonight
with reception to Cardinal Vannu-
tell, personal representative OF the
Pope, will see assembled such a gather
ing of high churchmen as has never
been seen anywhere else in the world
save in Rome.
1t is evident that the congress will far
surpass in splendor and religious
solemnity any of those that have gone
before. Many American clergymen
will take prominent part in the gath
ering. Cardinal Gibbons, OF Balti-
more; Archbishop Farley, OF New
York; Archbishop O'Connell, OF Bos-
ton; Archbishop Ireland, Of St. Paul;
Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago; Arch
bishop Blenk, of New Orleans; Arch
bishop Glennon, OF st. Louis and Arch
bishop Messmer, Of Milwaukee, are
among those present.
Tomorrow the Papal legate, Cardinal
Vannutelli, will be rendered a grand
civic reception by hundreds OF Cana
dian business men and officials. Thurs
day will be opened with midnight
mass in Notre Dame, with pontiiical
mass to be said at 8 u. III. in the Cathe-
dral, when for two hours, general
sectional meetings French and English
will be in session.
Papers treating on various subjects
will be read by both clergymcE and
laymen. Among the scores of con-
tributors from Ireland, England, the
United States, all of Europe and parts
OF Asia, are just two women. They
are Miss Annie Sadlier, q Canadian
writer, and Mother Mary Loyola, OF
Bar Convent, New York.

DIR. Crippen and Miss i.eneve OH Trial.

London, Sept. 5.-The hearing OF
DR.. H. H. Crippen and Miss Ethel
Clare Leneve, his typist, OH acharge OF
numbering the doctors wife, Belle FL
more, began today in the Bow street
police court. Both Crippen and the
girl were in much better spirits than at
their preliminary appearance two weeks
ago.
Thousands waited for hours outside
the courtroom in the hope Of being ad-
mitted, but the same rigid exclusion
was exercised today as OH the previous
occasion. Only members OF the press
and those connected with the case were
allowed inside.
Travers Humphreys, representing
the prosecution, opened the case against
Crippen and TIE girl He said that the
remnants OF Il body found in the cellar
OF DIR. Crippen's home, by DR.. Pepper,
the government analysiSt, showed
plainly the marks OF recent operation
and the presence Of hyosin poisoning.
It is the remains that the prosecution
must prove to have been the body Of
Belle EImore. Humphreys presented
the Crowns case AT great length.
Solicitors Arthur Newton and J. ii.
Welfare appeared for Crippen ana
Leneve respectively.
Although there is n charge OF murder
against the girl, the prosecution has
indicated that it will try her only on
the charge OF being an accessory after
the commission Of the alleged crime.
Crippen was brought to court from
Brixon Jail, in the hospital ward OF
which he was confined for several days
last week. Miss Leneve came from
Holloway Jail.
Early in Humphreys presentation
Of the case, he announced that the
charge Of murder against Miss Leneve
had been dropped and that she would
answer to the charge OF being an ac-
cessory.
Crippen paid close attention to
Humphreys statement, but did not
seem perturbed by it. In case the
identity of the body is determined, it is
understood Crippen will attempt to
prove that his wife frequently bought
hyosin (which he used in his dental
work. The druggist, Of whom she
bought 1t, it is said, will testify to this
effect.
The jeweIry, including three dia-
mond rings, that Inspector Dew found
on Crippen, which were the property
of his wife, were introduced in evidence
as well rs furs and clothing belonging
to the dead woman.
Judge Sir Albert De Rutzen pre-
sided.
London, Sept. 6.-After rehcaring
Of much of the evidence produced at
the first appearance on August 20, of
DR.. Crippen and Miss Lcneve, their
hearing was today adjourned until
Thursday. Today's proceedings were
largely a rehashing Of the earlier trial,
due to the fact that Sir Albert De Rut-
zen, the president Judge, was hearing
the case for the first time. An appeal
for bail for Miss Lencye was denied by
the court.
