JUDGE BALDWIN DENIES
STATEMENTS BY ROOSEVELT
Made in Speech at Concord Satur-
day.

F
!. New Haven Conn, Oct. 23.-Judge
Simeon L. Baldwin tonight denied ever
having made the statements attribut-
ed to him by Theodore Roosevelt in
a speech at Concord, N. H., Saturday
In his speech Colonel Roosevelt is al
legged to have said in speaking of the
workingmen's compensation act:
THE democratic party of Connec-
ticut have nominated for governor
man who Wilde judge occupied the
most retrogrcssive possible position on
this question of workingmen's COM
penSaton, man who took the viey
that it was competent for the work
ingman, when driven to accept any
employment, to bind himself not to
be compensated if he lost life and limb
in that occupation
Judge Baldwin tonight made
statement denying Colonel Roosevelt's
statement as follows:
81 have no recollection of ever tax
ing on any trial or judicial opinion
dent Roosevelt, and I do not believe
ever did. In view of the distin-
guished position that Colonel Roose-
welt occupied as a president of the
United States of America do not care
to make my statement more specific.
'I do recollect. however. referring in
one of my printed books to the anti
quated, outworn rule of enforcing a
limit to $4,000 for the loss of life
occurring in factory or anywhere
else, for which damages were recover
able and of referring to the fact that
in a. recent action in New England a
physician had recovered 100000 for a
serious bodily injury against rail-
road and remarking that if the rail-
road had killed him it would probably
have come off much cheaper under
this absurd law"

London, Oct. 23.-Dr. Hawley Harvey
yCrippen, the American practitioner and
medical agent, was yesterday found
guilty of the murder of his wife, the
American actress, Belle IIlmore, anG
sentenced to death.
The jury was out just thirty min
-utes. When it returned and announced
that it had found the defendant guilty
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone asked
the physician If he had anything to
say. Crippen replied in a low voice:
Il still protest my innocence"
The chief justice then donned the
black cap that has rested near him
throughout the trial and pronounced
the sentence of death.
Addressing the condemned man, Lord
Alverstone said:
You have been convicted on evil
dence which can leave no doubt in the
mind of any reasonable man that you
cruelty murdered your wife and then
mutilated her body.
L advise you to entertain no hope
that you will escape the consequences
of your crime. l implore you to make
your peace with Almighty God.'
As the lord chief justice concluded a
policeman stepped forward and in the
hush that had fallen over the court
room led Crippen from the dock ~
Crippep will be hanged. No date
for the execution has been fixed, but it
will be done probably within month.

SYSTEM OF COLLECTING

For the Benefit of the Natiora Bank
Examiners.

Washington. Oct. pa tentative,
system OF colecting credit information
for the benefit of the national bank eX
anliners, with the compilation and
checking up of the commitments of
large local and extended borrowers,
has been formulated by a comuittee
of the examiners who have been meet
ing at the treasury department. Every
examiner hereafter Will Keep for his
,0wn. use a complete file of large and
extended borrowers in his district, lists
from which will be sent TO tire treas
ufg@ department for summarizing
The machinery available by the
comptroller of the currency will be put
to work to gather such credit infornla-
ton as can be obtained from national
banks and from state banks and trust
companies situated in states where
there is already cooperation between
the federal and state banking officials,
as in New York. The examiners will
net divulge the name of the bank where
a line OF credit is found of an extended
borrower. but their special reports will
give the total only of the leans listed.
1t is expected that the knowledge
that g. hundred or more men are keep

Soldiers Uneasy
GIVE REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT
GREAT ANXIETY.
FLUSHED WITH VICTORY
The Troops Are Showing Extreme In
dependenee-Impatient to Gather the
Fruits of tho Victorious Revolution.

Lisbon, Oct. 23-The republican gov
ernment is somewhat uneasy over the
attitude of the regiments which made
the revolution possible. Although not
openly insubordinate, the soldiers,
flushed with victory, are showing ex-
treme independence, and are cham
pioning the maintenance of strong
power in the hands of the military.
Danger of a Military Rebellion.
The governments real reason for
granting leave of absence for most of
the soldiers who took part in the up
rising with full pay. is the desire to
break up the regiments temporarily
and remove the danger of a military
rebellion. The majority of the SOL
diers, however. have refused to accept
the offer, saying that they We're not
to be duped by the deceptive liberality
of the cabinet. The minister of war
visited the barracks and pleaded the
necessity of patience and forbearance
during the trying moment of the re-
public.
The attitude of the military. which
includes ahe First artillery .nd the
Sixteenth infantry, in addition to a
battalion of marines, is being adopted
by the militant civil revolutionists who
are impatient to gather the fruits of
their triumph.
On the other hand the monarchist Of
flee holders who have sworn allegiance
to the republic insist upon retaining
their positions.
Separation of the Church and State.
The minister of justice is framing
d bill looking to the separation of the
church and state The republican
press declares that the presence of
Monsignor AIasella, whom Monsignor
Tonti, the papal nuncio. left on guard
at the inunciature, when he departed
for home, is a parallel case to that
of Monsignor Montagnini, ex-secretary
of the papal nuncia ture at Paris, who
was expelled from France, and insists
that, like Montagnini, Monsignor Ma
sella should be expelled.
A decree will be published in the
Official Journal tomorrow providing
for the laicisation of all the schools
and subjecting to the penal code all
priests attacking the government.

DR.. BlUMER LECTURES.
Tolls of the Wonderful Cures Effected
by the Psychopathic Doctors at St.
Mary's T A. g. Hall.

In T. A B. hall DR.. Blumer gave a
lecture to a large number Saturday
upon the wonderful cures by the psy-
chopathic doctors. No matter how bad
the case may be Of rheumatism, blind
ness and deafness, as well as many
other affections, wonderful benefit if
not cure is promised. There have been
many excellent results accredited to
the psychopathic doctors.
Referring to Mrs. Nightingale of No
106 Summit street, he said that up to
last Monday she could not even get
meal for her husband and family and
had to have her feet elevated on
chair at all times. She had been treat
ed by local doctors and had been at the
hospital here at various times. Her
case of infiammatory rheumatism is
now nearly cured She comes into the
hall nearly we'll and tells her own
story and weeps as she tells it. She
can attend to her household duties and
the Improvement is a revelation to her
and herself.
Another remarkable case is that of q
man named Privee of Baltic. who told
the audience that he could not take a
step without his cane, in which con-
dftion he was for sixteen months, until
he called on the psychopathic doctors.
He has now abandoned his cane and is
going back to work.
The doctors are to give a big demon
