DOCTOR CRlPPEN PAYS THE
PENALTY OF HIS CRIME
Murderer Of Belle Eimore Executed In
the Court Yard OF Lon
don Prison.

Lcndon.-Dr Hawley H. crippen.
who killed his wife, Belle Elmore
Crippen, tn, American music hall
singer, paiu the penalty for his
crime on the gallows at 500 o'clock
Wednesday morning within the
gloomy walls of PentonviIle prison.
The official hangman of Eng
land pulled the trap that sent Grip
pen into eternity The prisoner. to all
outward appearances. seemed resigned
to his fate and walked braYely to his
doom. Eighteen minutes after the trap
fell the jury of four physicians pro
nounced him dead. His neck had been
broken.
1t was in Philadelphia that DR.. Har-
vey Hawley Crippen, a widower. met
the prepossessing music hall singer,
Cora Makomeskl of Brooklyn, N. Y,
known TO the public as Belle Elmore,
and pressed his suit to such advantage
that they were married.
In 1905 the doctor and his bride
moved to England, where he took a
house at 80 Hilldrop crescent, North
London. They continued to live at
the Hilldrop crescent residence until
the advent of Miss Ethel Clare lie
Neve, who was employed as the doc
tors stenographer early in the year
OF 1908.
The Doctors friendship for Miss
lie Neve aroused the suspicious Of
his wife. Numerous quarrels are re-
ported by the neighbors, increasing
in frequency and violence until Febru.
airy, 1910, when Belle EImore mysteri-
ously disappeared.
The doctor early in February ad-
vertlsed his wife's death in American
theatrical papers as taking place In
London, while he told the former
actress many London friends that she
had passed away while on a visit to
the west. trusting to public indifRar-
ence to hide the falsehood.
On July 20 the steamer Montrose
pulled slowly out of Antwerp, changed
her course and stood out for Que bee.
Among the few passengers were Rev.
Mr. Robinson end the clerical gentle
mans son, slight and rather effem-
mate looking youth, VINO occupied a
stateroom with his father. Rev. Mr..
Robinson was very reticent cleric.
The prisoners were taken back to
England. where they were brought to
trial In the Old Bailey court, Crippen
charged with the murder and Ethel
Clare lie Neve as an accessory after
the fact.
His companion, Miss lie NeVe, was
exonerated of completely In the crime
and allowed to go free.

Miguel S. Macedo, subsecretary OF

The bodies of those killed were to

with dynamite.
The papers exposing the conspiracy
were discovered during a raid by the
police. Three employees Of FL impartial
had been furnished with the explosive
and were instructed TO use 1t at the
first report OF the uprising. which was
planned for last Sunday. The seizure
of the plans on the day upon which
they were to be executed is thought
to have had great effect in heading
off the rebellion.

were killed or wounded attended the

RAID STOCK FIRMS.
Burr Brothers and Continental Wire
less Heads Arrested.

New York.-Postmaster General
Hitchcock took personal charge OF
raids on two concerns ctarged with
using tn e mails to defraud the
public out of over $40 900. 900 by
selling stock on tie promise OF
enormous dividends. The Offices
raided were those of Burr Brothers.
INC, and the Continental Wireless
Telegraph and Telephone company
Sheldon H. Burr, president Of Burr
brothers; Eugene H. Burr, secretary
ana treasurer of the firm. and Frank
n. Tobey, its vice-president, were ar
rested In the first raid and held in
$4,000 bail each. The government
charges that the firm sold between
S4O,OOO,000 and $50,0O0,OOO of mining
and oil stock worth little or nothing.
Charles L. Vaughan, a director of
the Continental Wireless Telegraph &
Telephone company. Incorporated in
Arizona, was taken in the second raid
and held in $4,000 bail Inspectors
say his company has sold stock to the
amount of at least $1,O0O,000 which
mas brought in no return to the in
vestors. Vaughan is treasurer of the
Columbia Finance company, which
acts as fiscal agent for the Continen-
tai company.
Both raids are further evidence that
the government means business and
no longer will be content with issuing
fraud orders denying them the use of
the mails, but will press for convic-
tions on criminal charges.
Postmaster General Hitchcock esti-
mates that tie public has been
fieeced out of at least 100000, 900 by
get-rich-quick concerns in the last
five years, but says their hey-day has
gone, and said that other arrests, in
yolving corporations that have sought
investors the length and breadth OF
the country are expected shortly.

THE AMERICAN BOY.

Is It at all strange that some OF
che qualities and virtues which be-
tonged to our women in an older day
are now being transferred to the op-
posite sex? Can we marvel at the
production OF self-sacrificing Ameri-
can boy, who goes to work as soon as
he has finished at the high school. or
even at the grammar school, and reg
ularly puts a share Of his wages into
the family fund that is sending Edith
or Mabel to Vassar or Bryn Mawr?
Certainly the living American boy OF
eighteen or twenty measures well up
sn the scale of merit with any young
ster that the world has yet produced,
says the New York Mall. We hear
good deal of complaint about his
cigarette smoking, and his rough
ways and impertineLce. and other de-
fects; but If his designations were to
be compared with the heavy drink
ing and lawless propensities OF the
smart youth Of 30 years ago. he would
be found to be rattle a model Of con-
duct than otherwise. He is better,
not worse. tnaG his father was at the
same age. And he Is more thorough
ly imbued with the notion that 1t Is
his duty in life to be competent and
strong. and productive. than any other
boy who ever looked out upon the
great world with eager eyes.

Fifteen inmates were granted con-

Work on the addition to the tuber-
culosis sanatorium at Wales has so
far progressed that the new part will
be ready for occupancy next month.
The extension makes room for about
thirty more patients but will not more

The well is 500 feet deep. The sup
ply is pure artesian water and be-
sides being used for fire protection

tofore has been by a main coming
from Lake Mendoza but 1t was not
satisfactory.
The board is about to submit pro-
posals to receive bids on specifica-
tions for a new powerhouse at the
Mendoza institution. The estimated
cost is about $4,000.

Learning that his retreat had been
discovered. he insisted upon proceed
ing on his journey to the Caucasus,
where he hoped to spend his last days
close to the Tolstoian colony on the
shores Of the Black Sea-
But during the railroad journey he
was overcome with exhaustion and
the cold. and Doctor Makovetsky was
compelled to have him transferred to
the flag station at Astapova, where
he was made as comfortable as pos
sible In the rude wooden building.
For five days he had lain there suf-
fering first from bronchitis and later
from Inflammation of the lungs. Spe-
cialists were called from Moscow and
other places. but Notwithstanding
their utmost efforts, the heart of the
great Russian responded but feebly

ministered.
Count Lyof Nikolaivitch Tolstoi,
usually called Count Leo Tolstoi, nov.

August 2S, 1928, at Yasnaya Poliana.
In the province of Tula. Russia.
When twenty-three years old Tol.
stoi entered the army and served in

Sevastopol against the British and
French allied forces He first made
a reputation in literature by a series
Of vivid sketches written from Sc
vastopol, and when he left the army,
soon after the Crimean war, he de-
voted himself entirely to literature.
Tolstoi several times was threat
ened with expulsion from Russia, and
several times, according to report,
was upon the point of being exiled;
but he seemed on the whole to have
been treated with unusual leniency,
In view OF his strongly pronounced
views. especially as set forth in a
manifesto entitled THE Peoples
Rights" his criticisms of imperial
acts and his open letters to the en-
peror. He was. however, expelled
from Moscow in July, 1901. and since
had resided at Yasnaya Poliana-

'healthfulness Of the country, With the
single exception of Great Britain,
which surpasses this nation by frac-

lowest deathrate of any country in the

under the auspices of the Young
Won.en's Christian association opened
in the Y W. c. A. building. 3s4 Jack
son street
For the first time in the history OF
the Y. w. c. A. seven national de-
partment secretaries gathered at a
state conference. and for the first
time in the history CT this state the
surrounding Y. w c. A. organizations
are to send delegates TO this city to
confer upon methods of cooperation
in the association work.
Delegations arrived from Madison.
Racine, Beaver Dam and La Crosse.
to remain until the close Of the in
stitute.
Some of the important questions to
be discussed will be how best to pro-
vide recreatiye and social work. and
the best means of continuing indus
trial work. The industrial depart
ments which send representatives
into the shops and factories to inter
est the girl employees at noon or after
work at night, have made remarkable
progress in the past few months.
The department is comparatively,
new and is considered one of the
most important in the association
work.
One Of the interesting features of
the institute will be the woman's
mass nesting in the association
building. 1t will be addressed by DR..
Anna L. Brown, national secretary
Of the department of physical educa-
ton, and by Miss LOUISE Holmquist.
Doctor Brown has made a reputa-
for herself among Y. w. c. A. work
ers by her introduction of the ideas
of special training of girl workers In
the care OF their health in respect to
their work. She believes that each
girl should receive special instruction
of this kind, as her health needs diff
ferent consideration If she is doing
sedentary work than II she is much
upon her feet; If she is in an unven-
tilated work room or II she Is out of
doors. She is also an exponent of
the movement for the dissemination
of a wider knowledge among young
girls of their physical bodies and the
functions of the different organs.
This she believes necessary If the
social evil is to be stamped out.
