UNoUALlFlEDLY THAT BELLE
ELMoRE DIED OF POISONING.
COURT ROOM CROWDED AGAIN
FashonabIy Dressed Women Vie With
Each Other for View Of the
Trembling Girl and Doctor Crippen
in the Dock.

London, Eng, Sept. 16.-William II

ly drug in the body found in the home
of Doctor Crippen, took the stand to-
day when the trial of Doctor Grip
pen and Miss Leneve, charged with
the murder of the formers wife Belle
Elmore, was called.
He swore unqualifiedly that death
was due to poison and that he found
no other cause Of death and expressed
the opinion that the victim survived a
dozen hours or more, after the pois-
on was administered.
The gruesome exhibits and the un-
pleasant character of the testimony
at the last session did not deter the
curious from struggling to get into the
Bow street police court which was
crowded.
The spectators included the usual
array of fashionably dressed women,
who thoughtfully removed their hats
that those behind might not miss
move OF the trembling girl in the dock
and Of her companion, whose JaunIy
air only added to the morbid interest
in the case.
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard
then took the stand Solicitor New
ton asked him a few questions on
behalf of Miss Leneve, with the OBJ
ject of showing that she repeat
edly said that she believed what
ever Crippen told her.
She did not mention Crippens
name to me-" the detective replied.
The case then adjourned until Sep

New York, N. Y, Sept. 16.-There

In a published statement Barnes
said:
No amount OF political maneu-

obscure the one issue which must
be fought to finish at Saratoga.
There will be determined the fu-
ture of the republican party in the
state of New York for years to come.
What the party must determine in
its platform is whether 1t will be
recognized as conserving force,
which has been its past history, or
whether it will follow the radical
policies OF Roosevelt and lose the
strategic position which 1t has held
In the state OF New York for many
years as a party OF sanity and the

OKLAHOMA FRIDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER
FRISCO TO USE CRUDE OIL.
Railroad Will Install Burners on Sixty
nine Engines.

Sapulpa, Okla, Sept. 15,-As the
initial step to installing crude oil
burning engines on nearly all the
trains, both passenger and freight
running through Tulsa from Monett
to Quanah, C. p. Lyle, a Frisco fore
man, has left for Monet to get the
equipment.
This means that fl of the So engines
are to be thus equipped at once, and
that in very short tlme crude oil
will be the fuel in use on the Frisco,
and the fireman will be able to don a
high collar and silk gloves, and bid
adieu TO smoke and cinders.
Crude oil as a fuel on locomotives
has been thoroughly tried and has
proved entirely satisfactory as It ar
fords an even heat and great inten-
sity, and is lighter to haul than the

CONSCINCE-STRICkEN.
Former City Official Makes Resttu-
ton

ton.
Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 15.-Musko-
gee Is $523.16 richer because the con-
science OF a former city official wor-
ried him into returning that amount
which he had taken from the city sew
eral years ago. The city officials are
none the wiser as to who the con-
science-stricken eX-official is. because
there was not a word of explanation
with the certified check. The only
persons who know about 1t are the
former official who borrowed this
amount from the city, and the cashier
of local bank, who certified to the
check and mailed it, and the latter is
silent as the sphinx on the subject.
The city records furnish the proof
that the $532.16 was taken out OF the
city funds, but nothing more. An eX-
pert accountant several months ago
checked up the city accounts and his
report showed that during a period
covering five years there were defal-
cations and shortages of various kinds
amounting to $4,000 One of these
items was $53216. The records show
ed that this amount had been taken
out by someone who had access to
the city funds, but did not show who
It was or for what purpose.
Evidently it was a pure case of a
guilty conscience that caused the re-
turn of the money, for the experts re-
port was made many months ago and
there was no possible way of tracing
this particular shortage.

Help Can be Secured.
The cotton growers of Atoka county

cotton crop because of their inability

come to this office this week that
there are several hundred bales ready

Atoka has more worthless colored
men and women than any town of its

Mr.. Garfield declared that the ma

country whether the fight of the pro-
eressives was to be carried to a sue
cessful issue or whether they are to
surrender and admit that govern
ment for and by the people was
failure. He said in part:
Wasted Resources.

gen. CREEL
IS NOMINATED

Devils Lake Journal: According to
the count made by the canvassing
board of the primary election returns
in Ramsey county, General H. M.
Creel has been nominated for member
of the legislature on the democratic
ticket. At the election General Creel
received the third highest number OF
votes cast for member of the legis-
lature, and as there are three mem.
bers to be elected he will be declared
one of the democratic nominees by
the canvassing board.
General Creel also ran on the re-
publican ticket, but lacked just an
even dozen votes of winning out. If
the votes cast for him as democrat.
ic candidate could have been counted
for him as republican candidate.
he would have been next to the high
man on the republican ticket, lead
ing both Norman Morrison and Bernt
Anderson. But under the law this
cannot be done. There were but two
petitions filed for the democratic nom
nations and twenty-one democrats in
the county wrote Gen. Creels name
on their ballot to fill up the ticket.

Taft and Loeb Talk Over the Recent
Tariff Measure - Are Agreed That
It Is Good Bill and Will Work
for Best Interest of All Parts Of
the United States.

Beverly, Mass, July 1l.-William
Loeb, Jr, collector of the port of
New York. Frankly told President
Taft today that he would rather re-
rain at his post in the customs SER
vice than to return for governor Of
New York this fall. The president
has frankly told Mr.. Leob that the
republican nomination seemed to be
coming his way and that it would
take more than a fishing trip to the
Rocky mountains to stop it.
"Barkis is WiIIin."
The former secretary to President
Roosevelt left for New York this af-
ternoon, leaving the impression here
that if it became absolutely neces-
sary for him to take the republican
nomination he would do so, and would
make it whirlwind campaign.
The mention Of the New York sit
uation was incidental to talk on gen.
eral politics between the president
and Mr.. Loeb.
Mr.. Taft is not interfering in the
New York situation in any way. He
and Mr.. Loeb are the closest of
friends and whenever Mr.. Loeb has
been mentioned to the president in
connection with the New York goyel-
norship, he always has enthusiastic
ally approved the suggestion.
Mr.. Taft believes that Mr.. Loeb
would probably attract support from
more clements of the party than any
other nan.
Agree On the Tariff.

ton the tariff came in for share Of
cons Iteration at today's conference.

lieve that the tariff commission and
