 SAYS COUNSEL NEWTON
Especial from United Press.)

London, Sept 15.+'sSo far the prosecution has failed utterly to make out. a case against pr. Crippen. Right scarcely hope even to have Crippen bound over tol the Grand Jury"
 : This statement was made to the United. Press today by Solicitor Ar thur Newton, who is conducting the defense of the alleged wife-nurd erer and his typist, Miss Ethel Clare Leneve.
 Newton said he had not settled up- on a defense yet for the reason that the prosecution has as yet brought out nothing that he will have to de- fend. it's case I can't say what the defense will be. There won't be any unless the state forges much stronger chain of evidence than is now ap- parent" he said.
 Crippen shares Newton's hopeful ness.

PORTUGAL AND SPAIN
 MAY JOIN FORCES
 AGAINST CLERICALS

Rome, Sept 15.-vatican officials tacitly admitted today that King Manuel of Portugal has joined foroes with King Alfonso of Spain in the fight against the clericals of the Iberian PeninSular
 Following the closing of the Jesuit Monastery at AIdei-Ponte in Portugal yesterday, an open break between the Vatican and the Lisbon government is expected at any hour. Should this break come it is expected that it will result in a union of the progressive forces of both countries in fight against the clerical domination of the big commercial interests of the two countries. It is freely admitted here that the failure of the Church to triumph over it's opponents will prob ably result in the ultimate divorce of the church and state in the peninsu- lar.
 Practically all hope of a settlement of the difficulty with Spain was dis sipated today when official confirma- tion was received here of the latest interview by. Premier Cana1jas in which the latter said:
 We cannot allow the Catholics or any other religious body to educate the nation. Education and religious instruction must be kept separate.'

 Cherry paused as if entraneed, for she thought she heard another voice join with hers Then she bowed her head and sobbed in utter wretched- ness. knowing it for nothing more than her own fancy. Too many times, as in other twilights past, she had heard that mellow voice blend with hers, only to find that her ears had played her false and she was alone with memory that would never die.

 To face those people on the yacht had been an act of pure devotion to Boyd, for her every instinct had re- beI1ed against it. Yet she had known that some desperate stroke in his de- fense must be delivered instantly; otherwise the ruin of his hapes would follow. She had hit upon the device Of using Constantine and Chakawana largely by chance, for not until the previous day had she learned the truth.

You see it is this way: Senator Aldrich has taught us that the way to re- up the duties. Now, I have ponder ed long on this subject because am in training for the same senate that AIdrieh runs; and have come to the down cellar the only way to get re- vised downward into the cellar is to climb the attic stairs. That looks reasonable to you, know. Because you have adopted the Aldrich meth cd of revising the tariff downward.
 Most exalted sire. quite recently it has come to my notice that you have revised the tarif between Nor wich and New London downward. Form erly we could buy a round trip ticket for forty cents, whereas under the A1drich method of revision down ward we must pay thirty cents each way, or sixty cents the round trip.
 When I attended the little red schoolhouse on the hillside. we were taught that to increase the price Of a thing from forty cents to sixty cents meant a raise of fifty per cent. or in homely phrase a half as much again. Exalted sire, we complain not of your A1drich revision of the tariff to New London, For over here in Norwich we are all mil1ionaires. And what is sixty cents when we want to ride to New London and back?

She had not dared to hope for such unqualified success, nor had she fore seen the tragic outcome. She had sim ply carried her plan through to it's natural conclusion. Now that her work was done she gave way com pIetely and wept like little girl. He was out there now with his love. They would never waste a thought upon that other girl who had made their happiness possible. The thought was almost more than she could bear Never again could she have Boyd to herself. never enjoy his careless friend ship as of old. Even that was over now that he knew the truth.
 The first and only kiss he had ever given her burned fresh upon her lips. She recalled that evening they had spent alone in this very room, when he had seemed to wayer and her hopes had risen at the dawning of new light in his eyer. At the memory she cried aloud as if her heart would break:
 ssBoydI Boyd!''
 He entered noiselessly and took her sn his arms.
 SsYes, deart' he murmured. But she rose with a startled explanation and wrenched herself from his embrace. The piano gave forth a discordant crash. Shrinking back as from an ap- partition, she stared into his flushed and smiling face, then breathed:
 You! Why are you hereT'
 Because I love you"
 She closed her eyes and swayed as if under the spell of wonderful music. He saw the throbbing pulse at her throat. Then she flung out her hands, crying piteously:
 GO away, please, before I find it is only another dream"
 She raised her lids to lind him still standing there, then felt him with Hut tering fingers.
 aOur dreams have come true,'' he said gently and strove to imprison her hand
 2No, nor' Her voice broke wildly. stYou don't mean it. You-you haven't come to stays'

Complaint Against Burlington.

The railway commission has re-
ceived complaint from the Milburn.
Smith Grain company of Max. object
ing to the present facilities furnished
at that village by the Burlington Rail-
road company The compliments set
forth that the railroad does not ade-
quately care for the freight and pas
senser traffic on the line at this point.
and ask that the company he forced to
build a depot and stop trains at the
village.
The nearest station is Benkelman.
nine miles west. and StrattOn. the
station next on the east. is ten miles
vator, a lumber yard and three stores.
The complainants state that they
shipped thirty cars grain out Of the
village since the first of the year,
twenty cars of hogs. and two cars OF
cattle. and that If they had the proper
shipping facilities they would be en-
abled 10 buy much more.
The most serious complaint is made
on the passenger service. The com.
plant states that the trains are fire.
quently late. and that the passengers
are forced to wait for them in the
open. and without any sort of protec-
ton from the weather. 1t IS stated
that as high as twenty-six people have
been thus forced to wait. when the
thermometer stood at s degrees above
