Cora Belle Crippen, for whose death
her husband, DR. H. H Crippen. will
die on the gallows on Nov. 8.
Miss Leneve accompanied Crippen
in his flight to Canada and with him
was arrested and indicted.
From the first she has maintained
innocence of any knowledge of the
crime, but the crown alleged that her
behavior subsequent to the disappear
ance Of Mrs Crippen, or Belle Elmore
as she was known on the stage. was
such as to betray a guilty knowledge OF
the murder
When arraigned Miss Leneve
pleaded not guilty and witnesses were
introduced by the prosecution to show
she had experienced periods of great
mental distress following Belle Ell
more's death The crown prosecutor
Richard Muir, introduced only such
evidence as had been brought out in
the earlier hearings.
Miss Leneve's counsel, Frederick z
Smith, NJ. p, asked the jury to beal
in mind that his client had been under
the influence of Crippen, one Of the
most dangerous criminals of recent
years, since she was sixteen years old
This, he asserted, accounted for hel

CideS OTinOCO Case.

The Hague, Oct 26,-The interna-

claims case The Barge award is de.
clared null on four points and the
American company is awarded $46,,
867, with per cent interest since
June 16, 1903, and $1,000 costs.
The judgment is to be paid by Ven.
ezuela within two months. The trib-
unal rejected the American conten-
tions on the other points in dispute.
This decision disposes of a long

elusive privileges by the government
of Venezuela. but the agreement was

The case was eventually submitted
to DIR Charles Barge, who, as umpire
on Feb. 2, 1904, awarded the company
$2S,700. The company appealed to
the American government. which re
fused to accept the decision on the
ground that it was contrary to the
principles of international law.

Chicago, Oct 26.-At the resump-

mission rate hearing testimony was
heard for an hour and a half, when

planned to the commissioners that +.
J Vann of Omaha, on whom he had
railway statistics, had been unable to
complete his figures Mr. Atwood
asked that the hearing go over for a
day.
The questions in cross-eXamination
centered largely on the valuation OF
the properties OF the railroads. Comp
troller Robinson OF the Northwestern
railroad said that on the subsidiary
lines of his company the yearly de
probation in values was included in
the reports to the interstate com
merce commission.
In response to questions from At
torney Frank Lyon, counsel for the
commission, Comptroller Robinson
said that in the fiscal year of 1910 the
Northwestern road spent $31 ,000 600
the principal items of expenditure be
ing track elevation and the building
of the new station in Chicago
About 100000 900 worth of stock
was sold" said the witness, to meet
the expenses"
To Show Stock Issues
Mr.. Robinson agreed to produce fig.
ures showing the amount of stock
issued by the Northwestern road for
period of years and a similar agree
ment was made by William Ellis, com
merce counsel for the Chicago, Mil

issued by that railway

witnesses present, but that he wished
to show what he declared to be the
gross exaggeration of values" by the
railroads
Mr. Ellis was asked by Attorney
Thorne if he would separate the ex
penses of the freight and passenger
traffic of the Chicago Milwaukee and
ST. Paul road The witness replied
the separation of the two accounts
would be extremely difficult and
would be of little value except to sat

plea for a continuance.

ACTORS IN CHINA.
Low Social Standing-Players Who
Have influence.

From the Japan Mail.
''The social standing of actors in China
Is very low. In the eighteen grades of
China's social caste they are placed at the
twelfth. which is lower than the position
immoral women or thieves occupy. Thh
is the natural outcome of their being ig-
norant and leading a questionable life"
A Picking contemporary writes: but
there is a class Of actors called yu hsi
tzu Imperial actors). These are kept on
salaries like ordinary officials and act in
the presence of his majesty on the 4th of
every month.
"They have great influence and often
defy even the command Of the highest
mandarins. At present there are about
ten Of them in Picking. the oldest among
them being sixty-ive years old and the
youngest thirty
1t Is q curious fact that so far as we
know no satisfactory reason has ever
been assigned for the exceedingly low
place to which actors and actresses are
condemned in Chinese society. In Japan
much the same state Of affairs used to
exist, but the cause has always been toll
erabiy well known. Another interesting
feature is that in both countries alike the
drama had its origin In a kind of operate
performance with music and song.
: The Chinese histriontc art has been
much more conservative than the Japa-
nese, for the former has remained always
a singing representation. whereas the lat
ter, even before 1t was reached by for.
eien influence. developed all the charac-
teristics of the theater proper.

The Stimulus Of Rebuffs.

Hard conditions. desperate circum-
stances. great poverty and hardships
have ever developed the giants of the
race. The resources, the powerful re-
serves lie too deep in many people to be
aroused. awakened by any ordinary con-
ditions or circumstances. These people
are like the great Maximite shells that
can be thrown about with impunity: that
children may play with. but which re-
quire the terrific impact caused by being
fred through the steel armor of a war
ship to explode them. 1t takes a great
crisis. a tremendous emergency to ex-
plode the giant powder in many people.
Some natures never come to themselves.
never discover their real strength until
they meet with opposition and failure.
Their reserve Of power lies so deep with
in them that any ordinary stimulus does
not arouse it. But when they are ridi-
culed. "sat down upon" or when they
are abused. insulted, new force seems ia
be born in them. and they do things
which before would have seemed impos-
sibie.

.CLUBMEN ON DIAMOND.
SOCIETY TURNS OUT TO SEE
GAME AT NATIONAL PARK
Teams Selected From the Chevy
Chase and Metropolitan Clubs
Play Ball

At least one base ball championship is
in process of determination this after
noon, the Metropolitan and Chevy Chase
clubs being engaged in more or less seri-
Gus combat in the American League base
ball park. The result of the contest
will indicate in a general way the or
ganizaticn which should be awarded the
pennant for the season Of 1910 within
the list of organizations of society ath-
letes. All of the gate receipts Of the
game will go to the benefit of Providence
Hospital.
Society folk and clubmen in goodly
numbers started for the ball park early
this afternoon. and the prevailing i'm
preston seemed to be that the exhibit
ton of the great national pastime which
they were about to witness would not
be so very weird. In fact, quite a few
of the bands of RIOTERS" pointed with
considerable pride and anticipation to
the lists of former college stars on their
respective sides. The Metropolitan Club
followers were particularly happy over
the fact that Ned Currier captain and
catcher OF last years Harvard team,
would be on the receiving end Of it's bat
terry.
The Marine Band reached the park be-
fore the game began, and, trailing along
behind came an extra fuel wagon, loaded
to the rails with rolls of music, SO there
was no danger of the band running out of
material before the end of the contest.

John the Baptist and possessing the Holy
Grail the cup from which Christ and
His disciples drank at the last supper, and
which was so long and SO eagerly sought
for and fought for by King Arthur and
his knights Of the Round Table and the
heroes of the crusades. Tennyson and
Lowell tell the story in better words than
/ can frame. The cup, which was sup
posed to have been cut from a solid emer-
aid OF extraordinary size. about four
inches high and holding the contents Of
an ordinary ciaret glass. was finally
found at Cesarea, on the coast of Pales-
tine. by brave knight Templar named
Guglielmo Embrace and brought to &C.

charge of the local chapter OF Templars.
and. upon their dissolution. was deposited
In the reliquary Of San Lorenzo.
1t had been here then 500 years when
Napoleon stole 1t, as he did so many
other valuable and interesting articles and
works OF art and carried 1t to Paris.
where it was exhibited in the secular mu-
scum OF the Louvre among ordinary arti-
cles, to the horror and scandal Of the
church, as it was considered one OF the
most sacred objects in existence. The
spear that pierced the Savior's side and
the handkerchief with which st. Veronica
wiped His perspiring face as He staggered
under the weight of the cross are not
more precious.
While IL was In Paris the Holy Grail
was broken. II Is explained. and 1t was
then discovered that 1t was made of ordi-
nary glass A piece that was knocked
and the mutilated goblet was returned to
Genoa In ls2S. when. 1t was repaired to Its
present condition by local goldsmith.
Substitution Il Charged.
1t is insisted by many Of the faithful
that the "Sacro Cantino,' as il il called.
Is an impcsture. for which Napoleon Is
responsible; that he took away a cup
made OF an emerald and returned a cup
made OF green glass. Another theory Is
that the French consented to it's re-
turn because they found that there were
no good grounds for claiming that il was
the genuine Holy Grail. but the question
that always arises In the mind when its
genuineness is discussed must be what
the Savior and the poor fishermen who
constituted His disciples were doing with
q jewel that must have been worth hun
