ELKS GO IN
 THREE CARS TO TEACH DERBY HERD

They're off-"the undefeated cham pions of Bridgeport for 1910 and 1911', sometimes styled the Elks ball team, with their wives and sweethearts, children and babes. friends and guests, trainers and retainers. camera men and banner bearers. and rooters and boosters, left Bridgeport this after room in three special trolley cars on an exploration trip into the wilds of Derby. They go to the Housatonic river headway to tame a herd of Ant lers, who foolishly call themselves a ball team. What the natives of the village will not be shown is not worth mentioning. They will be able to see the only living pitching Mayor in cap tivity, who will have behind him one of the fastest moving band of ball playing Elks that ever cavorted on a ball field.
 To make their load the lighter, the merry party had along with them the full Wheeler & Wilson band, besides numerous other accessories.
 On the arrival in Derby the party was met at Main and Elizabeth streets by the combined lodges of Derby and Ansonia, and conducted to the Derby lodge rooms where refreshments were served. The party then formed in pa rade marching to special cars which bore them to the ball grounds in An sonia. After the game a supper will be served in Derby. and in the evening the Ansonia and Derby combined bands will render a concert.

 Beverly. Aug. 2.-Senator Winthrop Murray Crane of Massachusetts, met Secretary of the Interior BaIlinger at Minneapolis yesterday and acting on the initiative of leaders in the Repub- lican party with the tacit acquiescence of President Taft, urged the cabinet officer to tender his resignation before October l.
 From a source of the highest author 1ty here today comes this explanation of the "accidental' meeting of the Massachusetts manager and the Sec retary of the Interior yesterday Sev- era1 days ago Senator Crane paid a mysterious visit to Beverly. At that time the news leaked out that he was going west "on a mission" That mission was to direct Bauinger's at tention to the handwriting seen on the wall by all Republican leaders that there could be no hope of victory this fall unless there was a new face in the cabinet in place of the present Secre- tary of the Interior.
 Great pressure has been brought to bear on President Taft to hint to the head of the Interior Department that he was an obstacle in the way of Re- publican progress. but the Executive has steadfastly refused to adopt such an attitude. Tn view of this stand, on the grounds of extreme political expediency. leaders in the party got together. selected Senator Crane as their spokesman. secured a tacit ac- Q1iescence from President Taft, and yesterday the Massachusetts solon put the proposition to Secretary Ballin- ger.

 I think that the day is not far dis tant when criminal who has been located by wireless aboard steamer will be overtaken and arrested by an officer pursuing in @ flying machine" (By John B. Wilkie of the United
 States Secret Service. Written for
 the United Press.)
 Washington, Aug. 2.-In common with everybody else I have followed the Crippen case with interest and the dramatically, with the earlier incl dents.
 The successful employment of the wireless was a beautiful demonstra- tion of what may be accomplished in the pursuit of a criminal and it's em- ployment was concrete illustration of the fact that under modern con- ditions and with the resources of sci- ence at their command. officers of the law have made it we'll nigh impos- sible for fugitives to elude capture.
 A phase of the case upon which the attention of prosecuting officers will be centered relates to the identifica- tion of the victim and the proof that a crime actually has been committed.
 I have noticed that my friend, Su- perintendent Forest, one of the ablest officers in the world who is at the head of Scotland Yard, Is confident that the government has an impreg- nable circumstantial case against Crippen and I have a very high re- gard for the opinion of this conserva- tive officer.
 If they should succeed in convict ing Crippen on all the circumstances it will reflect the highest credit up- on Scotland Yard and add to the many laurels already won by this famous detective,

PRESIDENT TAFT THROUGH SENATOR CRANE REQUESTS
 BALL|NCER'S RESIGNATION

Senator Crane, according to authori- tat1ve information, told Ba1linger yes- terday that he must step down within a few weeks after the report of the Congressional Investigating committee is made public.
 The committee meets at MinneapoIis during the week of September II; it's exonerat1ng the secretary will be given to the public almost Immediately Ballinger is left to retire to his law prictice at Seattle immediately after this exoneratfon at some time prior to the wind up of the Congressional cam paign.
 President Taft has felt peculiar delicacy about informing Ba11inger of the tremendous pressure brought to bear on him to change the present regime at the Interior Department The plan of having the proposition put up to Ballfnger by party leaders was the outcome of much thought on the part of the Presidents political advfs- CTS.
 At the Executive offices today no fn- formation was vouchsafed in regard to the matter and 1t was stated Senator Crane had no appointment with the President. The Massachusetts Sena- tor. however. is one of the few to whom the latch string on the Taft cottage always hangs out and he fig in the habit of dropping in very often.
 When Secretary Norton was asked regarding the story he refused either to affirm or deny it, but stated that m II. many respects he knew more about senator Cranes mission than the President. This has led to the zz- sumption here that Secretary Norton joined with the politicians in their af- tempt to save President Taft's face

A crowd surged around the ex-President's car riage and progress was out of the question. Repeated appeals for a speech from the Colonel brought forth the ex-President's head from behind the curtains and he responded with a modest little greeting.

 The police are today using every means at hand to have the girl break down and tell her story.

While the police do not be- Heve Miss Leneve had an actual hano in the murder of Mrs. Crlppen, they do believe she is in possession of the details of the crime.

She has room to herself and is practically free from surveil- lance though she could hardly make her escape The considerate treat ment she Is receiving from the police has made deep impression upon her, it is understood. and 1t would not be surprising to see her take the stand against Crippen both at the London inquest and at the subsequent murder trial.
 Cable messages from her father urg- ing her to tell all are said to have influenced the girl greatly too.
 Crippen Is still being kept in cell and no one is allowed to talk to him.

Sight Will Probably be Saved But
 Victim May be Disfigured

Nicholas Sonday was deluged with a shower of molten wax at work in the Electric Cable Co.'S factory in Central avenue early this morning.

 Both Sondays eyes were glued shut as the molten wax hardened. and his fellow workmen feared he had been blinded permanently.
