ering Him.
Continued on page 2.)

Quebec, Que, Aug. 3-Inspector Dew.
captor OF DR.. Hawley Crippen. said with
positiveness and irritation tonight that
the prisoner had not confessed to the
murder of his wife "If you chaps don't
stop pestering me about this confession
business, I'll have TO leave town." said the
inspector.
Crippen's jailer, and others near him,
were equally positive that no word of
confession had come from his lips
This settled vague rumors Of un-
known origin that there had been a
confession, although Inspector Dew
spent barely Ave minutes with Grip
pen during the entire day. This visit
he made to obtain Crippens answer to
Solicitor Newton's cablegram from
London proffering legal assistance. TIC
this Crippen replied accepting and
promising to keep his mouth shut and
not resist extradition conditions i'm
posed In the message Of last night.
Miss Ieneve did not figure In the

Government.

Beverly Mass. Aug. 3.--Recommen-
dations under which the government
can keep down its running expenses

await the return Of the President from
his trip to Panama in November.
Major General Leonard Wood. U. S.
A., chief of stan. talked with the Pres
ident for long time this afternoon

ury, will come from Dublin. N. H., to
continue the discussion, and the rep
resentatives Of other departments will
he in Beverly during the first half of
August. Every effort will be made to
keep appropriations down.
Reforms which the President asked
of Congress at it's last session and did
not get will be recommended again In
his second annual communication to
that body. The new things which the
President now has in mind to he rec
commended in the message arc connect
ed with the Panama canal, which he
regards ms nearing completion, the
possibility that the monetary commits
sion may make a preliminary report
in December, and the development OF
the Alaska coal Ia nds. with other con-
servation problems
In addition he now expects to recon-
mend:
Rigid economy in government de-
partments.
Two additional battleships and auxiliar
les.
Appropriations to carry into effect tn
postal bank law.

reaus doing the same work In several de

Some of the recommendations which
the President now has In mind to make
would be affected In case the next House
should be democratic. This he is not now
taking into consideration. being an op-
timist. II the republicans were to lose
control some sort OF report probably
would be hled by the monetary commits
sion, and a preliminary statement Of Its
work may como In any event.
Notifications Of the Sherman antitrust
act may be recommended by the Presi-
dent should an early decision be made
In the two big trust cases by the Supreme
Court. This Is unlikely, since the session
will close with March s. Developments
of the Alaska coal lands will be an i'm
portant feature and the recommendations
made win rest upon reports toward which

AFRAID TO HOIST THEIR coLcRs

The biggest farce comedy whic has
taken place in Washington in many
a lay was t.ic action of the House in
a~rEihilating the old COMMITTEES or
rules and Then constituting a new and
larger committee headed by the
speakers chief lieutenant, Represen-
tative John DalZel and as nuch mn
der the control of the Speaker and
the domination Of the machine as ev-
err THE old one was. or as is any of tle
other committees named by the
Speaker.
The act received a great deal of M
plause frol the galleries, but the re-
suit accomplished amounted to a CT
pher. Had the Republican Insurgents
remained with their Democratic allies
and selected a committee which was
not a Cannon committee something
woul nave heea achieved which
would ave been beneficial.
As IL was tae whole program was
for spectacular effect upon the folk
hack home. Republicans who realize
that their seats in the House are ian
danger appreciate the fact that they
must 40 something to appease the de-
nan of taeir constituents. Their
rule is. when in a doubtful district
swat" the Speaker. and there Is no
thing more amusing in the political
arena than the spectacle of the near
Insurgents riding astride the rail
which separates then from the wrath
of tale home folk and the vengeance
of the Speaker. Out upon the husk-
iaes they pledge themselves to un-
s~werving battle against Uncle joe.
while in Washington they kow-tow be
fore his majestic throne.
At least, thai Is what they have
doing ever sine the war upon
Caronism began, but now the time is
approaching when they must choose
which maste- they viii serve. With
some OF them the time has come and
gone; their days of grace have expir-
I'd. and In sorrow and aalf repentance
they are awaiting the inevitable hour
of defeat Vainly they are crying for
years more in which to GUST Can
