Conviction.

LONDON. November 5.-Dr. Hawley H.
Crippen, convicted of the murder OF his
wife. Belle Elmore, the actress, today
played his last card and lost. He will be
hanged November s.
The criminal court of appeals heard his
appeal from conviction in the lower court
and decided against him on all points.
The court refused to grant new trial
and confirmed the order of execution,
which will be carried out Tuesday next
The hearing of the appeal drew another
great crowd to the New Bailey court to-
day. Justices Darling, Channel and
Pickford heard the appeal.
Brought Into Court.
Crippen was brought to the courthouse.
an appeal against Justice Ridley's ruling
that he could not attend the proceedings.
This ruling was set aside and Cnppen
was brought into the dock. He was very
since his conviction.
The prisoners counsel was the same as
appeared for him at his trial. The prin-
cipal grounds upon which they based
their appeal were, first, that one OF the
jurors having been taken Ill during the
trial, was removed from the court by
physicians without being In the custody
of an officer; second, the identity Of the
corpse found in the cellar of the Crippen
home has not been established; and, third,
that the crowns rebutting evidence had
been improperly admitted.
Ruling Adverse.
Solicitor Tobin said II was not charged
that any one had tampered with the
Juror while he was temporarily excused,
but that an important principle OF law
was involved. In reply the crown offered
the evidence of bailin that the juror
was in his charge throughout his illness.
Deciding this point the court ruled that
the temporary separation of the jury did
| not affect the trial
Crippen Maintains Composure.
Changed as ne was physically, Crippen
maintained his composure. even In the
trying moment when he heard his doom
pronounced. At once, when the court s
decision was announced, warder touched
the prisoner on the shoulder, and the lat
| ter without a word or gesture. turned
| and left the dock. He was conducted at
once to Pentonville prison.
| Those who have seen Crippen during
his Imprisonment say that his bearing
has never changed from the moment of
| his arrest. He sleeps throughout the night
soundly and eats heartily. He spends
| much time in reading. Miss Leneve has
visited him in the prison three times.

To XIII Ralph Giyen. prosecutor Of the
Police Court, who had obtained his i'm
prisonInent in 1906. and Harvey Given
assistant United States attorney, who.
he claims. kept him too long in Jail. The
Gfvens were not apprehensiye that De
ment would put his threats into eXecu-
ton.
But Mr.. Wilson decided lac should be
arrested. Accordingly, when Dement, ap-
peared I'm the vicinity of the Police Court
this morning lie was taken into custody
by Detectives Heian and Grant. attached
to the attorneys Office.
Dement, strenuously objected TO arrest.
The detectives were compelled TO drag
him to the city hall.
He was placed I'm the cage reserved for
prisoners, below ihe courtroom. When
searched the detective say they found a
large pocketknife in his possession.
Sanity to Be Investigated.
At the time of his release the plea was
made that the man was demented. On
the assurance OF his brother, Paul e.
Dement,, that lie would take lim away.
his release was recommended by Harvey
Given.
Dement, will be sent TO Jail TO await the
determination by Mr.. Wilson as to the
advisability of having jury pass on his
mental condition.

excuse to her husband, who was eating
breakfast that she wanted TO. go to a

fed Detective Mullin. Accompanied b.

TAMMANY HALL CLAIM
G[ECTSD|X BY s., 600
Plurality in City Estimated at
$4,000, Against Stimson's
$4,000 Up State.
Special From STAN Correspondent.

Special From Stan Correspondent.
NEW YORK, November 5.-Tammany
Halls poll and estimate of the probable
vote of the state shows the following
figures:
A net republican loss up the state of
10 per cent, with net democratic gain
of > per cent.
A net republican, loss I'm Greater New
York Of 20 per cent, with net demo-
cratic gain OF 10 per cent.
The discrepancy between the figures
is accounted for upon these grounds:
The Hearst vote.
= An Increased socialist vote.
Apathy.
According to Tammany's system of CAL
cuIation the UP state poll would bring
Stimson down to Yonkers with plur-
ality Of $4,000. It would give Dix a
plurality in Greater New York of 132oJO
The estimaters then deduct $1,000 fiat
for wear and tear, and figure that On
the basis OF the whole calculation Dix
ought to have plurality of g., Coo IN the
state. 4.
A very ingenious statement, interesting
if not convncing-take it or leave it,
Heavy East Side Vote Conceded.
The Tammany canvassers corcede
Stimson a heavy Jewish vo. c on the !. est
side, due TO Roosevelt's popularity They
say it will be offset i'm part by the de-
lection of the business mems votes IN
the center of the city and the upper West
Side.
Candidate Stimson swept through the
East Side Thursday night on fol ly-mile
an-hour gale and in a drenching dtwn-
pour OF. cold lain. Before starting he
dined with rabbi, which the democrats
considered a very good sign. His auL.-
enc were reasonably satisfactory in at
tendance and Ia rly enthusiastic. Wind
and weather and a heavy head sea were
against him, so it is impossible 10 esti-
mate the effect of his speeches.

ROBINSON MAKES VAIN
 FIGHT FOR DRAINAGE
Beaten in Effort to Secure Appr0pria. tion, He Announces Intention of Renewing Attempt at Next
 Session.

Washington, June 23.-Before the reclamation bill was passed Repre- sentative Robinson made the best possible effort to get recognition for a drainage policy on at least equal terms of treatment by the govern ment. He offered an amendment to the reclamation bill appropriating
 $z60,000 for drainage investigation and surveys. Payne of New York made point of order against it. MT Robinson begged him to withdraw the point, saying that drainage was quite as important as the reclamation of arid lands and it was outrageous to defeat on a technicality meritorious legislation which would finally result in the reclamation of large areas of swamp and oyerflcWed lands.
 He gave notice that at the next session of Congress he would re- new the fight for square deal for swamp and overflowed lands.

1itt,e Rock June 23.-The Afkan- ,o. Cotton Seed Crushers Ass ocla ..on M met in Little Rock Wednesday af- .orroon to talk publicity and the best r,o+bods of pushing their products at home.
 The entire afternoon was spent in congratula;ing themselves over the

No n,an was formulated and the crushers uan, home last night to return next week and prepare the program for the annual meeting of the associatiCC which vi be held here in August. It ;a probable that demonstrations vii; he made all over the state of baking hiscuits and bread from cotton seed four In many places over the state an unsatisfactory flour has been us- ed. caused by the bakers taking the regular meal and trying to make bread out of it. In other places the bakers did not know how to properl, handle the flour when once they se- cured it and an unsatisfactory bread vns produced The demonstrations over the state will permit the house. wife to see how the bread is made and then go home and be in a position to follow the instructions.
 Cotton meal flour is now an es- tablished product and the crushers know it will surplant wheat flour to a great degree if the people once stat to making the bread properly, so the demonstrators will probably be sent out.

 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread ard i,n- qualified endorsement. No other med lclne we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia t. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceration, local weak nesses, tibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclay it is worth noun tains of gold ," to suffering women.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result and unless the in- fammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by |Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- |named condition of the mucous sur traces.
