White goods may be safely treated

the color Of the goods. The stain may
be obliterated by certain applications.

original color may be restored by an
application of a solution OF one part

Guilty knowledge Of Noman's
Death and Lessons Allegation
Large Crowd at Trial.

London.-The prosecution made the
announcement, when the trial Of DR..
Hawley H. Crippen, who is accused
of murdsris. his wife, Belle Gilmore,
opened here Tuesday, that there were
evidences that the woman had been
subjected to an operation and that
large quantities of most deadly
poison had been found In the body
Of the slain actress.
Ethel Glare Leneve. the doctors typ
list, who accompanied him in his flight
to Canada after the disappearance of
his wife, and who has been held on the
same charge. also was brought to the
bar, but the crown stated that It
had been decided to conflne the al
legations against the girl to that OF
an accessory after the fact.
This relieves Miss Leneve of any
fore-knewledge OF the crime and is In
line with the belief Of her family and
friends that she did not share Grip
pens confidence up to the time that
his wife dropped out Of sight and was
said by him to have died in Californis.
Interest in the Crippen case, which
was intense during the search for the
doctor, by no means has worn out, as
was shown by the crowd which gath
cred In the vicinity Of the Bow, street
police court when the trial was
opened.
Travers Humphreys appeared for
the public prosecutors Office. while
Solicitor Arthur Newton represented
Crppen. Mr.. Humphrey made long
opening address. in which he reviewed
the case from the time that suspicion
was aroused against the husband by
the unsatisfactory explanation which
he offered for the disappearance OF
his actress wife to his return to Lon.
don and the arraignment Of the doc.
tor and Miss Leneve on the Joint
charge Of murder.
In the course Of his remarks the
prosecutor definitely stated that the
physicians who made the post-mortem
examination OF the mutilated parts un.
earthed In the cellar Of the Crippen
home In Hilldrop-C Crescent. Camden
road. NJ. had discovered the presence
OF large quantities of hyoscin, color
less liquid poison, and also detected
evidences that an operation had been
performed.
1t had been known that the au
thorities had been working on the
theory that Belle Gilmore, ON properly
speaking. Cora Crippen. had been
in the hands of one having at least
a rude knowledge of surgery. and
further. that she had been poisoned

WHEN SENATOR REvERlpaE
MENTIONS HIS NAME.
SPEAKERS VOICE DROWNED
Tears Fill Conservation Champions
Eyes at ovation rendered Him
James j. Hill and Secretary
Wilson Speak.

st. Paul, Minn.-The two opposing
Ideas of conserving natural resources
met fairly and squarely here Wednes-
day when Senator Beveridge, in an ell
oquent speech, declared for national
control, while James j. Hill argued
the contrary.
Clifford Pinchot received an ovation
that furnished the most dramatic mo.
ment of the congress. The former
forester, the object of Wild demon.
stration by the audience. stood with
tears streaming from his eyes until
the outburst Of cheers had subsidized
and the spectators were seated.
Just what Senator Beveridge was
trying to say complimentary to Mr..
Pinchot was drowned in the roar that
rose the moment the trend of his re.
marks became apparent.
Clifford Pinchot." said the speaker,
and the outburst started. 1t grew un.
til every one was yelling and the
whole house was on its feet waving
hats and handkerchiefs.
Senator Beyeridge had no sooner re.
tired than cries of "Pinchot! Pinchot!"
rang through, the house. He was
dragged forth by President Baker.
His voice. shook as he spoke.
1T is magnificent" he said, ito hear
the sound policies of conservation ac-
claimed as has been done here. Con-
servation has won out. l thank you"
Senator Beveridge sounded his key
note In the statement that this is one
nation, not forty-six nations.
He said in part:
Cooperation of municipality, state
and nation to correct past mistakes
and preserve and administer for the
general good of all the people the
natural resources yet remaining this
Is the policy of common sense and
common honesty. Strife and division
to the end that the reign of waste and
pillage under the falseness of devel
opment shall go on and the feverish
upbuilding of private wealth upon the
ruins of the peoples resources shall
continue-this is the policy of private
ayarice and private plumber. Forests
and coal, water powers and phos
pnates-must be kept and developed
for the benefit OF all the people.
Mr.. Hill said that there are dangers
inseparable from national control. The
machine is too big and remote, he
said. and its operation too slow and
costly.
