In this letter Crippen reaffirms most sol

The letter rebuts in great detail the evil
dence as 10 the identification of the re-
mains found in the cellar of the house on
Hilldrop Crescent. It says the conviction
of the murderer was a judicial error Gre
ated chiefly by the prejudice which had
been built up in the public mind by the
sensational story OF his flight and cap
ture.
The letter winds up with a warm tribute

SENATOR CORES CORN CLUB.

Senator Gore Is organizing a boys
corn club in Oklahoma and he is being
overwhelmed with applications for
membership. The senator is not
troubling himself much about the de-
tails of the formality of organization.
He is leaving that to the boys, and
some 5000 or more of them already
have expressed a willingness to look
after it..
The senator's plan is simple. He
wants to see bigger crops in Oklahoma
and he believes the best way to train
a farmer is to catch him when he is
young. Senator Gore has made it
known that he will pay the expenses
of trip to Washington next winter
for the Oklahoma boy who raises the
largest crop of corn on an acre of
ground. The conditions are that the
boy must be under 16 years of age and
must have done all the work himself.
1t Is turning out to be bigger un-
dertaking than the senator anticipated
and between his senatorial duties and
his corn growing contest he is going to
be very busy man this year.

A man in New York was mortally
hurt by a flower pot which was blown
from a window ledge where 1t had
been put, and which struck him on the
head. There is a dangerous practice,
far too common, of putting flowers,
milk bottles and other arti-
Giles, easily transformed into missiles,
on window lodges, to the constant peril
of pedestrians in the streets below. The
practice should be prohibited by law,
since people themselves are too heed
less of the safety of others. Besides its
absolute danger, the practice is high
ly disfiguring, especially in any city
striving to establish some standard of
civic beauty.
