Senator Sutherland admitted that
the anti-Ballinger members stole a
march on the friends of the secre-
tary and that the action yesterday
was surprise.
Both Sutherland and Mccall, in
their statements. did not intimate
that they considered the resolution
unjust. but 1t is believed that both
will support Ballinger when the
final vote Is taken.
Both Representative DENLY and
Representative Olmstead will be
present at the meeting Of the COM

During the first part of the agi-

Conservation has now passed

begun to step on the toes of The

resulting opposition, considering the
quarters when it comes. is one OF
the best proofs that conservation is
a live movement for the public good.
"i'he demand from the opponents
is not that We shall abandon the
principle Of the greatest good Tor

LONDON, Sept. 8.-Dr. HawIey
n. .Crippen, the American dentist,
accused Of the murder Of his wife,
Belle Eimore Crippen, was plainly
agitated today when the hearing Of
his case was resumed In the Bow
street police court.
Evidently the announcement that
chemists for the crown had discov-
cred evidence of hyocsin In the
mutilated body dug from the cellar
of the Crippens' North London
home, and which Is alleged by the
government to have been the body
of Mrs. Crippen, has caused the doc
tor much anxiety. He was startled
Tuesday by the announcement that
traces of the drug had been found,
and today he was worn and haggard
looking when the hearing was re-
sumed.
TALKS WIT HelRL.
He conversed with Mile. Leneve
while the trial was in progress to-
day, speaking Of the discovery to
her. The girl, who fled to America
with the doctor, shows signs of the
strain OF the tSial. and her answers
were short and she seemed to pay
little attention to the whispered ut
terances of the accused man.
WORE WIFE's JEWELS.
That Mile. Ethel Leneve, DR..
Crippen's typist. was seen wearing
1ewelry and clothing which belong
ed to Mrs. Crippen. after the lat.
ter's disappearance, was the testi-
mony given by Mrs. Smythson of
Brixton, who was an acquaintance
Of both women. About the same
time, she testified, Crippen told her
his wife had died while en- route to
America.
A Mrs. Harrison Of Brixton testi-
fled that she had seen Mile. Leneve
wearing clothing belonging to Mrs.
Crippen. The attorney for the
crown endeavored to substantiate
with her testimony that given by
Mrs. Smythson.
After Mrs. Harrison had been dis
missed, Inspector Dew of Scotland
Yard, who crossed the Atlantic to
arrest Crippen and the woman, took
the stand.
On June 30. Dew testified, he met
Mile. Leneve leaving the Crippen
home. When he stopped her she
appeared agitated and in answer to
question regarding her identity,
declared. she was Crippen's house
keeper. Later she told him her true
name.
HAD A QUARREL.
Crippen's relations with his wife
were strained at the time of her
disappearance, according to the tes-
timony of Inspector Dew, who was
recalled to the stand after the ex-
animation of several minor wit
nesses. Mrs. Crippen's temper, he
intimated, led to frequent ruptures.
