TAFT LEAVES FOR
TEN DAYS CRUISE
President Outlines His Position
on State Conventions.

President Taft has announced that
he is not going to draw any plat
forms for use at Republican state con-
ventions this fall. He has no desire
to figure as the dictator of party poll.
cies and will not assume the authority
of a writer-in-chief of these more or
less important documents. Neither
does he intend to become the arbiter
in factional fights, and he will not at
tempt to select men from any Office as
administration candidates. Taft ex-
pressed the belief that in most cases
delegates to state conventions pos.
sessed sufficient interest and intelli.
gence to draw platforms that suited
them.
He let it be known that he had not
come out with an out and out endorse.
ment Of the Ohio platform that Sena.
tor Charles Dick and Wade E. Ellis of
Ohio brought up here. The senator
and Mr.. Ellis were of the opinion after
seeing the president that their plat
form would serve as a model for other
conventions. The president did not
repudiate this assertion TO callers, but
he did let it be known that he would
not bother with other platforms.
Former Gov John F. Hill, acting
chairman OF the Republican national
committee, ard Byron Boyd, chairman
of the Maine state committee, motored
down to Beverly from Augusta to
Burgess Point. The president prom
ised them to make three short visits
in Maine One is to be at Eastport
Tuesday; the second at Bangor on
Saturday, and the third at Rockland
on the 9th. To get to Bangor the
president will take a special train
from Bar Harbor. He will stop at
each of these three places an hour.
The personnel of the party which
went north on the Mayhower is:
The president, Mrs. Taft, Mas
ter Charlie Taft, Horace D. Taft, Mrs.

was much nleased with the reception
given to Secretary of War Dickinson
in Toxic. Here is the telegram the
president sent to the Emperor of
Japan:
II wish to express to your majesty
my deep appreciation of the generous
and courteous hospitality extended to
Secretary Dickinson and his party

preston of cordial welcome evoked
strengthens the bonds of friendship
between the two countries"

SENATOR IORIMER
WILL Be WITNESS
Statesman to Testify in Lee
OTNeiI Browne Trial

Senator William LoriIner will be
star witness for Lee O'Neil Browne
at the coming trial of the lawmaker
on bribery charges The trial will
start July Is.
Both sides in the case will appear
before Judge Dupuy Wednesday, when
a trial Judge will be chosen. The trial
will start July rs.
Although the lawyers in their efforts
to map out new line of defense have
disagreed on many material points it
has practically been decided that Sem
ator Lorimer shall be witness and
that the defense is to be along lines
permitting the introduction Of his tes-
timony as the giant political plot"
Browne himself may testify in his
own behalf He wished to take the
stand at the first trial, but acting on
the advice of his counsel refrained from
doing so. After the jury had disagreed
and been discharged members of the
jury said that if Browne had taken the
stand he would have been aquitted.
Browne intends to be more active in
directing his side of the case at the
second trial than he was at the first.
He is said to be opposed to the intro
duction of technicalities and to favor
an open fight on the issues.
1t deyelopes that private detectives
of the Evans agency, employed by the
defense, have been busy night and
day almost in every county OF the
state. Reports made by them to At
torneys Erbstein, O'Donnel and For
rest are Of such character that
small army of new witnesses will be
called for the defense. According to
these lawyers surprises are in store
for the state.
Reports of the detectives will figure
in the efforts of the defense to prove
a political conspiracy and to show the
jury that "the man or men behind"
engineered not only Brownies prose-
cution, but the alleged plot to ruin
Senator Lorimer.

POLICE AFTER CRlPPEN
Want American Doctor for Numbering
Wife in London.

DR.. Hawley Harvey Crippen, the
American physician who is sought by
the Scotland Yard authorities in
connection with the murder of his
wife, Belle Gilmore, is believed to be
on a steamer bound for the United
States. He is a native of Coldwater,
Mich, and was educated in Indiana.
DR.. Crippen, who is said to be fifty
years of age, made his home for some
time at 80 Hilldrop Crescent North
London Some time ago his wife,
Belle Elmore, a vaudeville actress and
treasurer of the Music Hall Artists
Guild, disappeared, and subsequently
a notice of her death appeared in print.
The fact of her demise was gener-
ally credited, but there was more or
less gossip among the women init
mates and this finally reached the ears
of the police.
A search of the Crippen house was
made and the battered body of wo-
man was found buried in the cellar.
1t had been placed in quick lime and
was burned beyond recognition, but
the finding of the body, together with
other discoveries, has left no doubt in
the minds of the authorities that the
murdered woman was Mrs. Crippen.
DR.. Crippen, after attending schools
in Indiana and Los Angeles, completed
his medical studies in Michigan, New
York and Cleveland. He practiced in
Detroit, San Diego, CAL, Salt Lake
City, ST. Louis and Brooklyn as an
eve and ear specialist.

her crew of eighty officers and men
were ready to put off in life boats.
Nobody on either the Bonita or Cas-
tine was injured and but one member
of the crew of the gunboat had come
ashore, and for that reason it was
difficult to secure information regard
ing the accident.
