Outline of Prosecutors Case.

Crippen needed money and pawned jew
elry later identified as the property of his
wife Mr Humphreys said When his wife
disappeared he made an explanation that
he later admitted was untrue. The prose
cUtor told of the admitted quarrel between
the Crippens, the eloperlent of Crippen
and Miss Leneve and the finding OF the
body alleged 10 be that of the doctor wife
in the cellar of the Crippen home.
IN the course Of his remarks the prose
cutor definitely stated that the physicians
who made the post-mortem examination of
the nuJiated parts unearthed in the cellar
Of the Crippen home in Hilldrop Crescent,
Camden Road North, had discovered the
presence of large quantities of hyoscin, a
colOrless liquid poison, and also detected
evidences that an operation had been per
formed
Nj Humphreys added that the crown
had decided to change the charge against
Miss Leneve from that Of a principal TO
that OF an accessory after the fact. In
closing. he said he doubted whether the
girl could have believed the extraordinary
story told her by Crfppen in explanation
Of his wife's disa appearance.
After the prosecutors address a few wit
nesses were called for the Crown. The
testimony was along the same lines as at
the previous hearings. A pawnbroker bore
out counseI's statement that Crippen had
pawned his Wife's ieWelry. Inspector Dew
added a few minor facts TO his story of
the arrest of the accused. and promised to
make a more important statement later
The only new testimony, which viii
doubtless be elaborated later by the physl-
clans who conducted the post -morten1, was
the statement of Mrs. Paul Martinettf, to
the effect that Mrs. Crippen had once
shown her a scar on the lower part Of the
body which had the appearance of being
from an old cut. The doctors who exam
ined the body found in the Crippen home
discovered a piece Of flesh bearing siml
lar scar

BIG FIRE ON TINY BOAT:

Alice, Busy Steam Lighter,
Lights Up in Buttermik Chan

PUMPED FULL OF SEA WATER
Staggering Under Her Load, She
Is Helped to Pier-Only One
Man Hurt, and Cargo
Slightly Damaged.

The steam lighter Alice. loaded with
supplies for the steamship Amelia,
owned by the Atlantic Fruit Company.
caught fire in Buttermilk Channel, just
east of Governors Island at o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
Captain W ". Hamilton Of the Alice,
Captain Jameson of the Amelia, two
passengers for that vessel, Superinten-
dent Martin of the Atlantic Fruit Com
pany and a crew Of ten men were on
board at the time. Although the blaze
was extremely active only one member
of the crew, a fireman, was injured.
The crew of the lighter sought to cur
tail the damage that threatened by
throwing the cargo overheard.
Captain Hamilton started out from
Pier 9. East River. 70 take supplies TO
the Amelia, banana boat lying off Lib
erty Island. preparing to start for PorC
Antonio. Jamaica. The Alice was about
midway between South Ferry and Gov
ernor's Island when smoke was noticed
coming from below. The fire seemed tc
start between the boiler and the coal
bunkers
FIotila 10 the Rescue.
By the time the lighter reached the
mouth of the East River the whole yes
sci was enveloped in smoke. The en-
gines were stopped. Ferryboats on their
way to and from Staten Island were
close TO the little craft Windows of the
downtown office buildings were filled
with spectators. More comforting 10 the
endangered captains and crew, however
were the plucky putting tugs that wnis-
tied encouragement to the Alice and
soon began to do something practical.
One of the first to the rescue wa:
Captain John Cannon of the big tus
Fred B. DalZen. Cannon headed straight
for the floating Confag gra ton, and drew
in close enough TO take on board the
captain Of the Amelia, the two passen-
gers and superintendent Martin. There
vas an opportunity for Captain Hamil-
ton and his crew to board the tug a the
same time, but they decided to stick and
fight the flames. They were busy. fol
the Alice has a fair equipment of her
own for fire fighting. Captain Hamilton
was at the wheel and the crew utilized
each pound of pressure at their COM
mand. The engineer and stokers were
long since driven from their regular
posts.

When the kidneys are sick sharp
darting pains strike you in the back,
loins or side-pains that almost take
your breath away, and often make
you cry out in agony.
1t is almost impossible to mistake
these kidney pains, for they seem to
center about the small of the back,
where the kidneys are located.

PEOPLE IN UNITED STATES

2,6O9.7S7, according to the figures
issued by the census bureau. This
is an increase of 1872, 790, or III
per cent, within the past ten. years.
Georgia now ranks tenth among all
the states Of the union.
In 1900 Georgia ranked as the
eleventh state in point of population
and under the census just completed
she ranks tenth, having gained one
number. She passed Iowa.
Thus it appears that she has in
creased more rapidly than a majority
of other states of the union.
The states that outrank Georgia
are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Massachusetts,, Michigan Missouri,
Ohio, Texas and Indiana.
Georgia continues to hold her
place as the second state Of the south
in population, being exceeded only
by Texas.
Oklahoma leads the southern states
in percentage increase, with lO9 per
cent in ten years. Texas iS next
in line with an increase of. u per
per cent. and Arkansas takes third
place with an increase of 20 per cent.
Georgia is next with 17.7.
The figures made public Saturday
show that the state of Georgia Will
have at least one additional repre-
sentative in the national house under
the new aDportionment bill. II tn
bill is framed so that the major frac.
lion counts as an entire member II
is probable that Georgia will have
two new members.
The remarkable growth of the EN-
Dire State of the South is almost
sufficient to entitle her two new
members without question and with

days many of the Ellensburg markets
have been without mutton, lamb, veal
or pork. Market proprietors state
that it has been impossible to get
anything from the Sound packing
houses.
Ellensburg is distributing point
for some of the large packing houses
and meat for all the towns along the
Milwaukee and Northern Pacific is
shipped from there. AS rule much
of this meat has originally come
from Sound packing houses, but for
more than a week the entire district
has depended on Kittitas meats.
Meat for the big crews employed
along the Milwaukee is also shipped
from Ellensburg. Buyers have been
bidding for all the live stock in the

are now quoted at s6.75 and hogs
are bringing 10 cents. live weight.

GLADYS A0K| STILL
WITH HUSBAND
WHITE GIRL LIVING HAPPILY
WITH JAP AND THEIR BABE
MRS. EMORY WITH THEM IN
SEATTLE.

Mrs. Helen Emory Aoki is living
happily in Seattle.
She has not left her Jap husband,
Gunjiro Aoki, with whom she eloped
from San Francisco a year ago, MAX
ing a romance of mixed races which
went around the world.
With Mrs. Aoki at the modest
apartments at 1923 Main street is
her husband, Gunjiro Aoki, her 8
months old half Jap baby, and her
mother, Mrs. Frances Emory, wife of
an archdeacon of the Episcopal
church of California.
1.-THE report that I have left my
husband and my home is entirely
false" said Mrs. Aoki this morning.
II am as happy as can be-"
Mrs. Aoki Rugged a baby to her
breast as she spoke-Sophronia
Frances Aoki-a wee, dimpled mite
of a thing, with a suggestion of
Oriental slant in its eyes, but with
blue Caucasian eyes and light brown
hair.
"You can see ! am not in Cali
fornia," said she, "and as for my
life being u1happy'-she held the
baby closer-"does this look as if l
were? I don't see how such report
started, anyhow.
ct have been living in Seattle for
three months, and have no inten-
ton of forsaking Gunjiro. Mother
is with us and Gunjiro has a good
business. I have been too busy with
this little tot even to go down town"
Aoki, when seen at his busy en-
ployment office, at sos Main street,
grinned ruefully when asked about
the report that his wife had deserted
him.
81 don't see how it started" he
said. 1--WE have been living very
happily. Mrs. Aoki has never been
dissatisfied; she is too busy with
Fronde-that's our name for the
baby-to think of it."
