Old Woman Cremated.

New York Especially An S5-year-
old woman, Mrs. Mary Kelly. was
burned to death at her Hoboken
home when her dress came in contact
with a pan of hot Goals. Her screams
awakened her nephew whose break,
fast she had been preparing. He
rushed from the house when he saw
the kitchen in flames thinking that
his aged aunt had escaped. When
the fremen/ entered the house they
found the bharred body of the old
lady beside the kitchen stove.

DR.. CRIPPEN FOUND GUILTY

London Especially DIR. Hawley
Harvey. Crippen, the American prac-
titioner and medical agent, was found
guilty of the murder of his wife, the
American actress, Belle Elmore, and
sentenced to be hanged November Is.
The jury was out just thirty min
utes. When it returned and announc-
ed that it had found the defendant
guilty, Lord Chief Justice Alverstone
asked the physician if he had any
thing to say. Crippen replied in a
low voice: II still protest my limo
cence."
The Chief Justice then donned the
black cap that had rested near him
! throughout the trial, and pronounced
the sentence of death.
Addressing the condemned man,
Lord Alverstone said: "You have
been convicted on evidence which can
leave no doubt in the mind of any
reasonable man that you cruelty muir
dered your wife and then mutilated
ASA aDOuys
II advise you to entertain no hope
that you will escape the consequences
of your crime. implore you to
make your peace with Almighty
God"
There is the strongest prejudice in
England against executing man on
! purely circumstantial evidence, and
an incident at the close of Crippen's
trial has caused the impression that
the jury may. have recommended a
life sentence. After Crippen was SEN
fenced to death the foreman of the
jury handed to the Lord Chief Justice
a note, after looking at which, the
| justice said:
THAT shall be forwarded to the
| proper quarter"
The proper quarter might mean
the Home Secretary, who has juris-
diction in such matters. The jurors
refused to discuss the incident.

MILLIONAIRE MILK COMBINE
Seeking to Control the Supply Of the
Large Cities.

y
Washington, D. G. Especially -
Following sensational charges made
by officers Of the Washington Milk
Dealers Association that multi
millionaire milk trust is seeking to
control the milk supply of the large
cities in order to establish monop-
oily for the manufacture of pasteur-
izing machinery, Attorney General
Wickersham ordered an investiga-
ton. The charges were made at a
hearing before the District commits
sioners, held in connection with a
campaign that is being waged by the
milk producers against pasteuriza-
tion and the turerculin test.
At this hearing Corbin Thompson,
the vice-president of the dealers as
ISOLATION, and A. s. Trundle, chair
man of the executive committee,
charged that an alleged gigantic
trust, headed by Levi P. Morton,
Thomas F. Ryan and Anthony Brady
and including a number of the fore
most inanciers of the country, sought
to control the milk supply in order
to sell their pasteurizing machines,
and to this end were bringing pres
sure to bear on the health officers of
large cities.
At the hearing there were present
scientists from The various govern
ment departments in Washington and
several of them were named as being
directly or indirectly Influenced by
the trust. 1t was stated that the chief
of the New York City Health Depart
ment was removed and an ardent
disciple of pasteurization was sub
stituted in the interest of the alleged
trust. At the hearing Mr.. Rudolph,
one of the commissioners, called
upon Messrs. Thompson and Trundle
to submit specific evidence in sup
port of their allegations.
+ Attorney General Wickersham has
directed w. S. Kenyon, an assistant
attorney general, to investigate these
charges and to call upon Messrs.
Thompson and Trundle for any In
formation they may possess to sub
stantiate their charges. The situa-
ton in Chicago will be first inyesti-
gated and after that the question Of
the milk supply il every other large
city will be taken up.
1t was further charged that the
milk inspectors of Washington were
incompetent and ignorant. Dealers
said that they could prove that tests
made at Union Station by local in
specGors of milk brought to Wash
ington from Maryland were wholly
unsatisfactory and unreliable. The
charges against the local inspectors
will be taken up by the District Com
missioners after the government has
Investigated the allegations of the
multi-millionaire Milk Trust.

Cincinnati Especially "A gift of

missal the bishop of Cape Palmas,
Africa, D. Ferguson, typifying in his
person the spirit of missions that has
been the guiding star of the great
gathering. On the opening day the
sermon was preached by the most dis
tinguished of England's churchmen,
and on the closing day the words of
admonition and exhortation came
from the lips of the head of the
American Church, Presiding Bishop
David Sylvester futile, of Missouri.
The service at the Cathedral was
the simple ritual of the church for
evening prayer. The venerable Bish-
Cd William Crosswell Doane, of Alb
any; Bishop Ferguson, Rev. Randolph
McKim, of Washington, d. c., presi-
dent of the House of Deputies, and
Bishop Boyd Vincent, of Cincinnati,
took part in the services.
| One important piece of business
marked the closing hours, the
deputies refusing to concur with the
upper house in giving the new order
of suffragan bishops votes in the con-
vention of 1918. The sentiment OF
the deputies was overwhelmingly
against the proposal. SO far as the lay
delegates were concerned. Only
eight dioceses were recorded in favor

Chicago Especially Three hun
dred thousand dollars in counterfeit
Nicaraguan five-pesos notes, freshly
printed, were seized and the printer
who made them, the engraver who
made the plates and the man charged
with securing their manufacture were
arrested here by Captain Porter. of
the United States Secret Service and
his operatives.
The notes had only been printed,
not having the Official seals or
numbers impressed. There were
10000 notes, each of five-pesos
(worth approximately So each,
American money!, and ''signed" by
F. Baca, advocate general; ]. Mad

gaz. They had not been cut from
the large sheets.
George B. Williams; president of
the printing company bearing his
name. was charged with printing the
spurious notes. HI. N. Secreest, of
Tampico, Mexico, was accused of be-
ing the promoter, having the notes
printed, and Richard J. Trumbull,
manager of the Guarantee Engraving
Company, of Chicago, is charged with
having made the copper plates from
which the paper was printed. These
plates were taken by the Secret Serv-
ice men from the press, where they
were being used at the time of the
raid.

U. s. Commissioner Charged
With Embezzlement.
CASH BAIL WAS NOT RETURNED.
Linsley Rowe Is Indicted In Jersey
City BY the Grand Jury OF the
Court In Which He was For Many
Years a Clerk-Rowe's Resigna.
ton Was Asked For, But He Re-
fused, Claiming He Had Done
Nothing Wrong.

Trenton, N. j. Especially Omitted
States Commissioner Linsley Rowe,
Of Jersey City, who was arrested on
an indictment containing two counts
charging him with embezzling, plead-
&c not guilty in the United States
District Court here. Judge Relstab
fixed Mr.. Rowe's bail at $4,000, in
default of which he was committed
to the Mercer county Jail to await
trial on November Is.
The arraignment of Mr.. Rowe was
one of the most unpleasant tasks
which has fallen to the lot of the
Federal authorities here. He was
formerly clerk of the United States
District Court by whose grand jury
he was indicted, and in point of serv-
ice was one of the Oldest Federal em-
ployes in this State He bore up
bravely while in court, though a
physical breakdown seemed imminent
throughout the proceedings. One OF
the counts in the indictment charged
the embezzlement of $1,000, and the
other the failure to deposit $4,000
cash bail in proper depository.
The latter count alleged that Mr..
Rowe had converted to his own use
$1,000 of the $4,000 cash bail which
had been deposited with him by Leo
Mayer for Louis Becker. Becker
had been arrested in the raid on the
Marin wire, which was alleged to
have been used by, the Consolidated
Stock Exchange in procuring quota
tons from the New York Stock Ex-
change.
The release of Becker was followed
by an application for the return OF
the bail. When this was not forth
coming the case was referred to the
Federal authorities, and Mr.. Rowe
was asked to resign He refused to
do so, contending that he had done
nothing wrong.
Immediately before the arraign-
ment of Mr. Rowe, Herman Rubino-
vitz, of East Orange, pleaded guilty
to sending an obscene letter through
the mails. After arrangement he
claimed that he had deposited $3.50
cash bail with Commissioner Rowe
last July.
There was no record of this fact
in the clerks Office, and the state
ment came as surprise to the court
Mr.. Rowe was not called upon to ex-
plain this transaction, but it will be
investigated in connection with the
charges now pending against him.
