LONDON, Sept. 22.-Judging
by the way matters were eNpedit-
ed before the police magistrate, it
now seems certain that the trial
OF DIR. Hawley Crippen, for the
murder of his wife and of Ethel
Claire Leneve as am accessory, will
be ready for hearing by the time
the October sessions at the Old
Bailey begin.
Under English procedure the
work of selecting the jury is a far
less troubuesoe thing than i'm
America. The jurors are sworn
and the examinations are of the
briefest possible sort. Though
each side has the right of chial-
lenge, it is not resorted to often
and then only i'm cases where 1t is
known that juryman is marked
ly amtagonistic to either side.
Since Crippen is accused OF
murder the English law permits OF
only one sentence if he is found
guilty, that of death. Before such
a sentence lis delivered curious
formaiity is enacted. The chap

Lain. sitting ON the bench, ap-
proaches the judge and places a
little round of black SILK over the
full bottomed wig. This Is tine
black cap" and is always worn
when the death sentence is deliv-
cred.
Curious Custom.
Most judges follow a sort OF
formula which runs:
"You have been found guilty of
murder by a jury of your country
men and the sentence of this court
is that you be taken from this
place and hanged by the neck un-
til you are dead. And may the
Lond have mercy ON your soil. F"
The chaplain chimes in with a
solemn, Amen"
By the law, the sentence cannot
be carried out until three clear
Sundays have elapsed.
The Crippen trial will probably
last more than three or four days.
The trial may be heightened if the
defense brings in large number
of witness but in any case 1t prob
ably will not last week.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-That a
lively encounter between Mayor

Gaynor's charge was containet

the mayor intended to attack the
Hearst papers, putting am end to
what Gaynor termed absolute de

The Hearst answer to Gaynor's

Would Make Salary Nominal.
And the city commissioners In
view of the fact that all city jobs
are filled and there will be no
work for the civil service board
for a year, has been talking of
making their clerk S SALARY mere
ly nominal. One commissioner
suggested $40 month.
This has alarmed the civil SER
vice commission which wants to
have a little political machine of
its own and President Foss wants
the city to turn over to the civil
service board the free employment
office and discharge the present
superintendent and let the clerk
selected by the civil service board
have that job too. This would
enable the clerk to get good
salary out of it.
Comes Up Next Week.
But the charter provides that
the employment bureau shall be
under the commissioners of public
safety.
The city commission will prob
ably tackle the civil service mat
ter next week.
From present indications the
commissioners do not intend to
waste much money on the thing in
view of the apparent uselessness
of the work that will be done.

There will be a good chance for

Fight Duel to Death
(By United Press Leased Wire

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PELHAM, Ca, Sept. 22.-With
their wives as seconds encourag-
ing them to fight, Charles Tate
and John Merchant, young farm
ers who live near Pelham, fought
a pistol duel today. The two
men met on the road that runs
past their farms, stepped off 25
PAGES, then turned and fired sew
eral shots in rapid succession.
Both were killed.
The two women were the only
witnesses.
The duel is said to be the result
of a feud which sprang up be-
tween the two families when Tate
married the widow of Merchant S
brother two months ago. Mer-
chant opposed the match and bit
ter feeling resulted.
The wives of the two men met
Monday and quarreled. Yesterday
the two couples met by accident
Merchant dared Tate to shoot II
out" Tate accepted, and the
