Nothing to Report That Dentist Has
Told About the Murder of His
Wife in City Of
London.
WILL MAKE DEFENSE
VIII Not Resist Extradition But In
tends to put up Stiff Fight
at the Time of
Trial.

QUEBEC, Aug. 4.-Inspector Dew,
of Scotland Yards, captor of Crippen,
said last night that his prisoner had
not confessed to the murder Of his
actress wife. Joseph Morien, Grip
pens jailer was equally positive that
no word of confession had come from
the dentists lips.
Attorney General Gouin and Judge
Angers, before whom the man and
his girl companion, Ethel Leneve, were
arraigned, said Crippen could not have
confessed to Dew without their knowl-
edge
| Denials followed the rumors that
there had been confession, although
Dew spent barely five minutes with
Crippen during the day. He went to
the dentists cell to obtain Crippen's
reply to Solicitor Newtons London
cablegram proferring legal assistance.
This Crippen accepted, asserting he
would keep silent and not resist extra
dition, the conditions imposed IN the
solicitors message.
He told one of the keepers he
would make no fight here, but was
1prepared to fight when he came to
trial in London. An effort to learn
about the friends the London solicitor
says are willing to pay the expenses
OF the defense was as fruitlesss here
as 1t was said to have been in Lon
don.
Miss Leneve spends Ter time quiet
| " in the prison infirmary and is said
| to be improving.
LONDON, Aug. 4-Despite the
reiteration today by Scotland Yards
that DR.. H. H. Crippen has not con-
fessed to Inspector Dew and the
positive statement by Arthur Newton,
attorney for Crippen, to the same ef-
/ feet, the question as to whether Grip
pen confessed, is uncertain. Newton
has statement from Crippen and in
Inmates that Crippen's wife died from
the effects of an illegal operation per-
formed by her dentist husband.

HALF IN AND
ALSO HALF OUT
Boy Swallowed Half Dollar and Was
Relieved Of It by the
Doctors.

nicola, Iowa, Aug. 4.--Dwight
Williams, aged Is years, son of Mr..
and Mrs. David Williams, living a
mile north OF this city. swallowed a
silver half dollar and for time 1t
was feared that the result would be
disastrous. The coin lodged in the
throat but was in such a position that
respiration could be maintained. He
was given quantity of solid food
which dislodged the money sending
1t to the stomach. He was under the
care of physician for several days.
but the coin was not found The boy
was later taken to Omaha and place,
under an X-ray which located the OBJ
struction in the intestines. After an
operation, the coin was recovered.
The operation was natural one.
Young Williams suffered no incon-
venience or pain at any time while
the half dollar was in his system.
The case is considered a peculiar one
and created considerable interest
among the medical fraternity here and
in Omaha, none of the members hav-
ing record of a parallel case, owing
to the size of the coin. Many in
stances were known where small
coins had been swallowed but none
so large. Some were skeptical that
the boy had actually swallowed it,
deeming it impossible for so large a
piece of metal to pass down the
throat.

Nine Year Old Boy Met instant Death
by Touching TansIe Of Wires in
Yard Of His
Home.
GIRL MAY ALSO DIE
When She Came to the Rescue and
Grasped the Body She Fell to
the Ground From
the Shock.

WATERLOO, Iowa, Aug. 4-Forest
McDougal, aged 5 years, was killed in
stantly and Nora Boomhower, aged g.,
was perhaps fatally injured when the
former grasped live guy wire in
front OF his home and the latter en-
deavored to pick up the lifeless body.
The death dealing current came
from the transformer located half
block away. Wires of the Citizens
Gas and Electric company became
tangled and conveyed the current to
the guy wire supporting a pole in
front of the McDougal residence, 52S
Edwards street.
The victim Is son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Neil McDougal. At 1910 noon the lit
tie fellow was playing in the garden
with his mother. Leaving her to gath
er some vegetables the boy ran to the
front Of the house where he came in
contact with the wire and his little
1 life was snuffed out before he could
so much as give cry of warning or
distress.
| Across the street, at 525 Edwards
street, lives the family of @. H. Boom
hover, a street railway conductor.
Their little daughter, Nora, saw For
est fall and supposing he had tripped
on the wire went to his rescue and
tried to pick him up.
The, little body Was still against tie
wire and was surcharged with electrI
city. The instant Nora touched the
PROSTATE form she recr.ved a terrible
shock which convulsed her hands up
on Forests clothing and threw her
backward, carrying the body with her
She gave one shrek and then lay still.
/ Nora's mother ran to the scene and
picked up her child. As she carried
I her into the house across the street
i Mrs. McDougal came out and started
for the Boomhower home, thinking
/ the little girl had been hurt In the
street. Half way across the street
she glanced back and there saw her
own son dead, whom she had left
laughing and in the best of health less
than five minutes before. She lifted
the body in her arms and sustained
burns from the little form which was
still full of the death dealing fluid.
The current that passed through
the boy was 1900 volts and had burn
led his hand, head, side, back and
knees. The electricity had jumped
from his body to the grass and ignit
ed it for radius of foot on either
side of the body.
The condition of little Nora Boom
hover IS critical. She is severly
burned about the hands, head and one
side She is conscious only a small
part of the time and the attending
doctors cannot give an opinion at this
time as to whether they can save hel
| life.

MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS.
May Be Measured by Means Of an
Ordinary Thermometer.

Ordinary Thermometer.
Heights of mountains or of airships
can be measured by means of an ordi-
nary thermometer. The greater the
pressure of the atmosphere on the sur
face Of water the greater temperature
It takes to boil it. AS we rise in the
air less and less pressure Of the air
occurs, and water will boil at lower
temperature than 100 degrees c. (212
degrees FL. 1t has been figured out
that for a few miles up for every
thousand feet of ascent water vii.
boil degree lower. Thus if at the
bottom of a mountain water boils at
30 degrees C. (210.2 degrees Ed and at
the top at 9S degrees c. (20S.4 degrees
FL the mountain is a thousand feet
| high.
In government and other scientific
work extremely delicate thermometers
are used. They are long, so that the
scales may be divided into fractions
of a degree. The entire instrument for
the work is termed thermobarome-
ter, or hypsometer. 1t consists of
small metallic vessel for boiling wa
ter, on the inside of which are placed
these delicate thermometers. Ganot
says that the accuracy of the height
of mountain can be obtained within
ten feet by means of these instru-
ments. 1t is probably not quite that
accurate, as the pressure Of air does
not decrease uniformly as we ascend.
Nevertheless it is good adjunct to
the surveyor taking largely variable
profiles.
or course the ordinary instrument
for taking heights without actually
measuring them is the barometer.
This is open to the same objection as
the thermometer, for its height de-
ponds on the pressure Of air, which
does not decrease uniformly. How
ever, it can be graduated to an en-
pirical scale to tell the heights and In
that case shows accuracy.-Chicago
