Dr. Crippen Pleads Not Guilty.

London, Oct. 1S.-"I am not
guilty." Standing alone in the great
prisoners dock in Old Bailey, facing
Judge and court with cool assurance,
Dir. H. H. Crippen today entered a
plea of not guilty to the charge OF
numbering his wife, Belle Elmore, the
music hall singer, whose dismembered
body is alleged o have been found
buried in the cellar of their Hilldrop
Crescent home.
The trial was Immediately opened,
and with dispatch unknown in the
American law courts. The defense
exercised only three challenges from
the first panel, the jury was quickly
completed, and Kings Counsel r. D.
Muir opened the case for the Crown.
1t is expected that Crippen will know
his fate in less than one week. The
court will be in session daily from 1870
in the morning until 5 every evening.
Muir in opening for the crown, de-
cIarej that the prosecution would show
that Crippen and Miss Leneve had been
intriguing for three years to be rid of
Mrs. Crippen and had done all in their
power to bring about an enlargement
and divorce, so that Miss Leneve might
marry CrjDDpn

For down right recklessness OF asser
tons commend us to Mr.. Roosevelt
In his New York stumping tour to Sc
cure the election OF the ticket he noml
mated at Saratoga he said the other day
in his speech at Wellesville:
You will rccollect that the sugar
trust testified number OF years age
that it contributed TO both parties
Well, | appointed the district attorney
who has prosecuted that trust, anC
made it pay back to the government
more than all it has contributed to any
or all of the political parties. That
man is Harry Stimson.
But Harry Stimson was not allowed
to do anything to worry the sugar trust
during the Roosevelt administration.
The Philadelphia Record says:
Roosevelt and his attorney general
were daily apprised of the sugar trust
frauds and the yroofs set before them
by George Fl. Earle. But neither
Roosevelt nor his attorney general nor
his district attorney budged. The sugar
trust went boldly on with its stealing.
When Roosevelt went to Africa Prcsl-
dent Taft set Stimson ut work; but no,
until the statute of limitations barred
the punishment Of the big men in the
trust directorate.

The storm center was moving today to-
ward Jacksonville and st. Augustine.
Indications are that heavy damage has
been done throughout southern Florida.
Havana, Oct. 1S.-With more than
100 estimated dead and property loss
believed to amountto millions OF dol
lars from the two terrific hurricanes
that have swept Cuba in the past week,
a third hurricane, of equal intensity to
the first two, is said to be forming south
of Jamaica. Havana is in the throes
of a panic. The last two gales have
done incalculable damage anda third
may beggar the island.
The second gale, coming unannounc-
ed. has about died down, but communi-
cation with interior points is. still cut
off, and it is impossible to get an &C
curate estimate OF the number OF dead.
Shipping all along the coast has suffered
terribly and it is feared that many lives
have been lost as the result OF ship
wrecks. Six towns are reported to
have been almost been wiped out, with
large loss OF life.
Two big steamships are overdue in
Havana harbor, and although they
have preferred the open sea in the gale,
alarm is beginning to manifest itself for
their safety.
The damage in the city of Havana
alone will amount to several million
dollars.
St. Augustine, Fla, Oct. 1S.-It is
impossible to estimate the number oil
dead down the coast in the storm this
afternoon. The hurricane is raging with
fearful velocity. A large part OF the
business section OF this city is under
water. The storm tide is the highest in
sixteen years.

T0DAY'S BASEBALL GAME.

Philadelphia, Oct. IS" Forget yes
tcrday and 60 after 'em today" was the
slogan that Manager Chance sounded
to his bear cats ut the Aldiuc Hotel to-
day. There was no denying that the
Cubs were Jared as the result Of their
defeat in the opening game, but it is
when you get the Cub bunch reused
and mad that real game results. Thus
it was that the fans headed Shibe Park

another sterling battle and hopeful OF
witnessing Jack Coombs, the Shut out
marvel of Mack's staff, repeat the won
lclful performance of Big Chief
Bender in the opener.
While Chance was eyhorting his men
to forget yesterday, willy Connie Mack

glorious day; remember that the Cubs

remember that all it took to beat them
was to get the jump on them.

sage advice.

THE PREVAILING HURRICANE
Great Damage Reported in Florida
Many Lives Believed Lost.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 1S.-Reports
indicate that the big hotels at Palm
Beach and all other coast resorts have
been badly damaged by the storm, now
sweeping from the Keys all the way TO
St. Augustine, which is partially flooded.
The wind here today reached thirty
miles an hour and was increasing. The
storm center is thought to be moving
toward this city and preparations are
being made to protect property and
lives.
A work train is known to have been
swept away with section OF track OF
the East Coast Railroad near Miami
and it is reported that score OF labor
ers lost their lives, but there is no con-
tirmation for this report.
St. Augustine, Fla, Oct. lS.-All
night long the hurricane drove the
waves over the sea wall and today the
lower part of the city is flooded. Heavy
damage has been done to shipping and
to property. Three laborers are re-
ported dead. but it is feared here that
news from further down the coast will
tell OF heavy loss OF life among the
workmen on the East Coast Railroad.
Miles of track have been carried away.
Heavy damage is reported from Titus.

LOCKJAW FOLLOWS VAGINA
TION.

Il want me pop" When nurse
in the Episcopal Hospital in Philadel-
phia, leaned over the bed on which lay
7-year-old Harry Fulmer, on Saturday,
and asked the boy, who was dying from
lockjaw, what he would like to have
more than anything else in the world,
that was his answer, muttered through
cenched teeth. He died Sunday
morning, and his pop" was holding
his hand.
In all his terrible suffering Harry
did not whimper once. The boy often
tried vainly to smile at his father or the
nurse. The lockiaw had clenched the
teeth so tightly that the smile was
mostly in the eyes.
Harry was vaccinated three weeks
ago. He was too young to know the
need OF care and bruised the VAGINA
ton several times when he was playing
outside in the street. Infection set in

LEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. IS

ANOTHER war cloud is said to be
forming in the East. The Persian cabi-
net is preparing to appeal to Germany
against England's ultlmatum, which
signalizes that Russia and England are
preparing to divide Persia for their own
use. It is believed that Germany,
Austria and Turkey, acting i'll concert,
will intervene to prevent the grab, and
thus precipitate the ugliest international
complication that has developed IN
Europe in years. England yesterday
notified Persia that unless she Is mann
tanned in her sphere OF influence IN
Persia, England will occupy the ter
ritory with troops and preserve order.
Three months grace is given. Persia
is notified that, under the Anglo-Rus-
sian treaty, she will have to pay the
expenses of the expedition. 1t is be-
lieyed that il an English army enters
Persia it will not leave without war.
In this England will be backed up by
Russia. for the car needs q seaport
percnnially free of ice, and can secure
such a port only by annexing a portion
OF Persia. Germany will naturally
object to such a course.

THE AMERICA ABANDONED.
Wellman and His Crew Aboard Of the
| ROYAL Mail Steamer Trent.

| SlaSCOnSet, Mass, OcI 10 ue
Atlantic transport liner Mesaba reports
that her wireless this morning picked
up message sent from the dirigible
balloon America, in which Wellman is
en- route to Europe, to the steamer
Hellig Olav, which is westbcund. The
message placed the America to the
southwark of Sable Island
While trying to pick up either the
Hellig Olav or the America, the Mas
aba passed beyond range OF their wire
less. The Marconi stations at Sable
Island are now trying to reach the
America.
/ The operator on the Mesaba only
cut i'm on the tail end of the mes
sage and did not know whether the
America was being run with her en-
gines or was drifting with the wind.
Sable Island is about 800 miles
northeast OF Atlantic City.
New York, Oct. 1S.-A wireless dis
patch from the Royal Mail steamer
Trent received here this afternoon says
that the steamer has rescued Walter
Wellman and the crew Of the dlriglble
balloon America.
The following wireless dispatch to
the officials OF the company was re-
ceived from Captain Down this after
noon:
5, a. m. today sighted Well
man 8 airship America in distress.
"Signalled by Morse code that she
required assistance and help. After
three hours Of manouevering and fresh
winds blowing, got Wellman with his
entire crew and cat.
They are all now safe on board. All
are we'll. The America was abandoned
| in latitude 35. 43 north, longitude 6S.1S
west.
New York, Oct. 1S.-The first at
tempt to cross the Atlantic in dirigible
came to grief early today. The
America, % with Walter Wellman and
his party on board was sighted in dis
tross almost due east OF Cape Hatteras
by the incoming Bermuda liner Trent.
Welman and his crew, with their kitten
| mascot were rescued by the Trent,
but the dirigible was abandoned TO the
elements.
Capt. Downs OF the Trent, reported
the rescue which was made in a fresh
wind, but gave no details of where the
America" had been since Saturdays
start or what happened to compel the
crew to signal for help.
The point at which the party was
picked up is about half way between
Bermuda and Cape Hatteras
Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 1S.-Five OF
the ten balloons starting from St. Louis
in the international long distance race
we're sighted here at 9 O'Clock today.
All we're sailing at height OF from

having a run scored off him that stamp
ed him as one Of the finest of the fine.
The word from the Cub camp was that
Brown felt as strong as Corliss en-
CINE.
Just before today's game started
"Ty" Cobb and Napoleon Laioie were
presented with automobiles as the
result OF their virtual tie in the race
for the premier batting bonors.
Another perfect day greeted the ball
players. The early rush to Shibe Park
was not so great as on yesterday, but
the outlook was that the grounds
would be packed again.
Five players OF the Chicago Cubs
baseball team narrowly escaped injury
which might have put them out OF to-
days game when a taXi-cab in which
they were riding to Shibe Park ran
into United States mail automobile
shortly before l O'Clock this afternoon.
In the taxi-cab, which was badly dam
aged, we're pitchers Overall and Cole,
| Catcher King and Left Fielder Sheck-
ard. The name of the other player
could not be learned.
On the way to Shibe Park this after
noon, taxi-cab in which Kane, Stein
felt, Zimmerman, Mcintyre and Over
all, OF the Chicago team were riding,
ran into mail wagon. 1t was hard
smash, but fortunately none OF the
players were hurt and they reached the
grounds only few minutes after the
others. The Cubs were in doubt as to
whether to consider the accident good
or bad omen.
The second worlds championship
contest between the Athletics and
Cubs furnished big attendance sur
prise, the crowd being about 5000
| under that of yesterday. Considering
that the home team won the opener
and that today was tailor made
from baseball stand point, the at
tendance was keen disappointment.
The bleacher stands were again packed
and the grandstand and pavilion
filled, but not more than 5000 oc-
cupied the centre field. Nearly all OF
these we're crowded back Of left field.
Early reports concerning the crowd OF
the grounds proved to be case Of
census padding.
The batteries today we're: Athletics,
Coombs and Thomas; Cubs, Brown
and King.
At the end of the inning the score
stood 8 to l in favor of the Athletics.

STILL further proofs OF the important
part microbes play in producing old
age have resulted from a series of cN-
periments recently conducted by Pro-
lessor Mctchnikoff, at the Pastcur In
stitute, Paris. Experiments now in
progress suggest that the lons-sought
microbe OF govt may shortly be dis
covered. Professor Metchnikoff, rs a
result OF his study OF intestinal microbes
rs a cause Of disease, advocated the re-
moval by a surgical operation OF the
whole large intestine in certain diseases.
He further claimed that the absorption
of the poisons produced by intestinal
germs was the chief cause OF premature
degeneration Of the organs of the body.
