Conviction of Crippen.

The conviction Of DIR. Crippen in
London concludes one of the most dra-
matte trials in the recent history OF
England.
1t is a fine example of the prompt adj
ministration OF Justice. 1t required
only three hours to select the jury and
only twenty-seven minutes to reach a
verdict after receiving the charge. This
should furnish the United States an
example to be studied and followed in
the future
It is the law delay which encourages
crime. 1t is the prompt administration
Of the law which prevents it.
In America Crippen would still be in
the hands of the courts and not the exc
cutioner. 1t Is very doubtful whether
he would have been convicted in the
United States Here the disposition is
to provide every excuse for the acquittal
Of the defendants in all criminal trials.
In England it is just the reverse.
The evidence in the Crippen case was
circumstantiaI and it is possible, in re-
Spouse to his appeal, the verdict may
be COMMITTED to life Imprisonment
The effect with the people will be the
same, for the conviction and promptness
Of the verdict show that justice is carried
out in the old country.
No one ever tries to be harsh or too
rigid in the enforcement of the death
penalty. Every one believes in giving
the accused a fair and impartial trial,
but the enforcement Of the law is neces-
sary if crime is to be prevented.
The great trouble in our own country
is the process Of procastination. The
courts grant a continuance on the most
trivial ground Lawyers seek delay.

The judges grant the guilty every con
sideration Instead of trying to punish
it looks, sometimes, as il the courts
were trying to find an excuse for exon
Grafton. Murder has become common
in the United States, and convictions
rare. In England murder is not COM
mon The vital statistics Of the country
show that murder is rarely ,mmitted
outside Of London, and in nearly every
instance quick punishment follows.
The law is sacred in England. 1t is not
so generally respected in the United
States.
In Memphis 50 many murders have
been committed that it seems a folly to
conduct trial 1t is shocking when
we realize more men are killed in Mem
phis in one year than in all Of England
for the same length Of time, yet such is
the case.
There was a time in England when
the laws were not respected as they are
to-day Things are different now. The
police system is very nearly perfect

Never again will Paul Natalie Of Lin

hangs open, says a special from Bristol,
Pa, to the Philadelphia Record Natalie
tried that one day last June at the Co
roma Leather Works, and awoke to feel
something brush his mouth and to gulp.
Now he knows why. He was slezed
with what he thought was an attack of
acute Indigestion and from that day
forth he lost weight and ran into gem
eral decline.
His health having been broken up, he
went to the Fabania Hospital Philadel-
phia, but the physicians there were not
able to relieve him Then he went to a
Trenton hospital, but still be lost weight
and still suffered biting pains in his alb
domen.
Natalie was brought back to his home
here and continued under the care Of
the local doctor. The latter sought
traces of all known diseases in the man,
but could find nothing satisfactory
Finally he starved him for several
days and two days ago gave him a
strong emetic Up came a garter snake
eight inches long, much to the conster-
nation Of Natalie The snake is now
preserved in alcohol and the patient has

COST UNCLE SAM S8,O64,OOO
Reservoir Is Largest Artificial
Body of Water in
the World.

Washington, D. c., April 29-The
Roosevelt dam, the great engineering
work in connection with the Salt river
irrigation project in Arizona, is nearly
completed, and yesterday the govern
iment closed its cement plant at Roose-
welt. The government began the man
ufacture of cement for the dam nearly
five years ago, because of its inability
ito obtain cement at reasonable prices
on account of the inaaccesibility of
the dam site. Engineers Of the recla-
nation service state that the works
have saved the government more than
S65,O00. The reservoir created by the
dam is the largest artificial body OF
water in the world. The capacity is
siXty-one billion cubic feet, which if
spread over Delaware would cover
that state to the depth Of a foot. The
dam will be completed in June, but the
project will not be formally opened
until fall. 1t will have cpSt~ss,UG4 900
and will water 24O0 0s1 acres Of land.

GLARlNG ERRORS IN
GOVERNMENT CLASSIFICATION
Lands CIassed as Timber Much More
Valuable for Fruit and
Grain.

Spokane, Wash, April 29.-Byron H.
Williams of Spokane, who with Leon
ard McCrea and others cruised all the
land in the Occur d'Alene Indian res
eryation, upon which filings will be
made May 2 and the following days,
says in his reportfhat the government
classification is not to be relied upon
The most glaring errors have been
made, he adds, because the men en-
plOyed to do the work did not have
sufficient time to go over the land
thoroughly, and because in many cases
they were not competent foresters and
were unable to estimate the value of
the timber and agricultural possibili-
ties of the land accurately. He charges
also that the land classed as timber
is worth more for fruit and grain,
while the land upon which the value
is fixed at $3.50 an acre is worth not
less than $25. He estimates the tim
Der resources at from S00,000000 to l.
000,000,O00 feet of yellow pine, $780,
100000 feet of fir and tamarack and
60,000,000 feet of white pine, or
enough to supply the 400 mills in the
Inland Empire with logs for IS
months
