CAN'T FIND THE LETTER.
But Young Crippen Remembers What
His Father Wrote to Him.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 15.-H. O..
Crippen, of this city, son of DR.. Haw-
ley H. Crippen who is being sought by
Scotland Yard detectives for the alleg-
ed murder of his wife, sought in vain
today for the letter received from his
father in February, announcing tho
death of Mrs. Crippen. Although the
missive was not brought to light he
was enabled to quote it in substance
from memory, owing to it's breyity. 1t
was about as follows:
Dear Son:-I am very sorry to write
you that my beautiful wife died recent
ly in San Francisco. She went there
to attend to an estate and while en-
route contracted pneumonia. She died
in San Francisco, suffering from,
uero-pneumonia.'
That was the last word I had from
my father" said Crippen today. II
have not seen him in 16 years and he
seldom correspondent with me- Since
1 was 2 years of age, had lived with
my grandparents, up to the time of
my recent marriage. L had never seen
my stepmother and she had never been
in Los Angeles. Soon after the re-
eeipt of the letter announcing her
death 1 was asked by the Ladies' Music
guild of London, to send particulars. the
members of the guild having been in
formed that she died in Los Angeles
l answered at once informing them
that Mrs. Crippen had not been in Los
Angeles, but that had been told that
she died in San Francisco"

LAUDS LOCAL AD CLUB.
Dallas Man Talks on the Publicity
That Gets Results.

Paul C. Gerhardt, advertising man
ager of the Dallas Dispatch, and Sec
rotary of the Southwestern division of
Associated Advertising clubs, talked to
members of the Topeka Advertising
club at noon today in regard to the re-
suits to be obtained through sys-
tematic advertising. He was intro
duced by Frank P. MacLennan, pub
Usher of the State Journal.
Mr.. Gerhardt lauded the local organ
| ization as live wire,'' the effects CT
which had been felt as far south as
Dallas and Fort Worth. He talked of
the heart interest in advertising and
it's results. His chief points were di-
rected to the advertiser himself. In
part Mr.. Gerhardt said:
Advertising should be clear, lively
and original. 1t should be appropriate
to the size, quality and standing of the
house it represents. 1t must be SUI
ficiently interesting to be read with in
terest. In fact, the advertiser must be
sufficiently posted upon his subject
that he can talk Interestingly regard
ing it.
"There are two ends to be accom-
plished-the future building up of ones
business, and immediate results. The
former is the more important Whas
the advertiser must do is place his
business before the people in way to
build his reputation. The biggest OPP
portunity is in the future-the further
one looks ahead, the greater will be the
results obtained.
1T is the man who does not adver-
tise OF. who does not do so persistently.
who will be the first to feel the de-
preston in times of business ad-
versity."
Mr.. Gerhardt referred to the writ
ing of advertising, saying:
Begin spontaneously at the vital
point. An advertisement should not

airy show. Results are what is want
ed They must be written to sell the
goods. Many advertisements do not
contain enough salesmanship. They
should contain that which the bust
ness man would tell the customer were
he talking to him face to face. Hack
neyed terms should be avoided. They
weaken the appeal. Some merchants
are too general, others use technical
terms which the customer does not
understands This is harmful in that
the outlay is an expense which cannot
draw the same results as a well writ
ten, clear, concise and original adver-
tisement
Every advertisement should have
enough originality to be recognized,
even should the name of the business
man be displaced and that of COM
petitor substituted
Henry Weber, of the Kansas City
branch of the Horn-Baker Advertis-
ing company, also was present He
talked in regard to the function of the
advertising agent.

received the message to destination
but adds a charge for four or five
words, indicating that the message has
been turned over to the Western Union
for further transmission. These ad-
ditional words give the place where the
message was taken over and the date.
In addition to the usual toll rate the
Western Union makes charge OF
from 2 to 8 cents per word for these
in excess Of ten and the Postal Com
pany complains that 1t is obliged to
pay "as result of such discrimination
and unfavorable charges" greater
sum than it derives from the sender OF
the message. In the complaint 1t is
further alleged that the Western Union
does not charge cable companies send
ing messages from New York over Its
land lines for additional words indicat-
ing that these messages have been
turned over for transmission.
In asking for relief the Postal COM
pany states that it is obliged to accept
all messages presented at its various
offices whether the destination is To-
Gated on its own lines or not. Further
it com plains that the reason 1t has not
extended it's lines to the smaller viii
lagos and towns in the states now tap
ped exclusively by the Western Union
is because of the contracts the West
ern Union have made with railroads
reaching these local points by which
the cost of constructing and maintain
ing the telegraph lines is jointly sup
ported and the railroads are prevented
from making similar contracts with
any competitors. The Postal asserts
that it is not able to corporate inde-
pendent telegraph offices in the small
villages because of the great cost of
maintenance where the railroad has no
share in the expense Of construction or
upkeep.
The commission Is asked to make an
order permanently restraining the
Western Union from charging for ad-
ditional words as complained of. the
Postal Telegraph and Gable Company
making the statement that If the prac-
tice is continued it will be necessary
for 1t to refuse to accept a large pro-
portion Of such messages from the

Confident Of Recovery.

Rochester. MINI, Oct. 4.-Senator La
Toilette was operated upon for gall
stones this morning. Eight stones were
removed. His prospects for recovery
IRE good.
THE complications. as diagnosed,
were a slight adhesion Of the small an
testine to the gall bladder, acute IN

matter in the gall bladder. The dan

o'clock today.
Just before Senator La Toilette went
into the operating room, a statement
of a reassuring tenor was issued. It
said the senator's condition was normal
and there was not the least ground for
alarm. The senator himself said he
had no misgivings as to the outcome
His Condition Explained.
In explaining the bulletin DR.. Fox
said:
1.-THE operation disclosed exactly
what we expected and bears out in
every detail the exhaustive diagnosis
Of last Friday and Saturday. l can
not set a time when the senator may
be pronounced out of danger. but there
ds no modification to be made OF the
previous statements that he will be out
in three weeks. The danger Is as usual
dn a major operation when the vital
organs are involved. The Inflammation
of the gall bladder and gall duct is
not extensive, but the greatest danger
at present lies in the possibility OF the
dnflammatory area INCREASING. The
danger from the septic infection OF the
appendix Is not great, and in general
shera Is nosstively no occasion for
alarm. The official bulletin Is made as
complete as possible that the senator's
friends may not feel undue anxiety and
not be borne up by false hopes.
"sore, But Bully"
LaFollette began to rally from the
ether in the operating room. and In the
hallway while being removed to his
room Dr. Fox asked:
How are you feeling, Bob?"
"Sore. but bully" replied the senator.
This was but few minutes after the
operatfon. His mind was entirely clear.
When he arrived at his room he asked
for Mrs. LaFollette, and she went to
him at once. She remained but few
minutes and then left to send word to
their children in Madison.
Senator Resting Easy.
At 11:45 when DR.. Foxy left the
hospital the senator was awake and
resting easy. The usual symptoms of
nausea were not In evidence. Mrs.
LaFollette and Drs. Harper and Keen
an left about the same time.
