MIGHT GO TO PHILADELPHIA
Belief There That DR.. Crippen
Would Seek Rafuee-

| Philadelphia, July 14-That DR.. Grip
pen, who is former Philadelphian, will
make at once for this city to throw the
police from his tracks should he escape
| the net spread for him in New York, Is
the belief held by many of his old ac-
quaintanCes here. From 1894 to 1899
DR.. Crippen was associated with Pro-
fessor Munyon in the manufacture of
patent medicines. It was in this city
that he met the woman whose body was
found yesterday, and it was in this city
that he had the most lucrative practice
Of his career. Duke Munyon, son of
Professor Munyoa, to-day threw a, num-
Der of interesting sideights on Dr.
Crippens Philadelphia career. He said:
DR.. Crippen came to us in 1894, and
accepted a place from my father. He
came originally from New York, think,
and he was a most careful and efficient
physician. He was only q little fellow,
Weighing about one hundred pounds
He worked for us for five years, and
there was never moments disagree
ment between him and my father.
There was only one thing to disturb the
wife, Belle Elmore. He was intensely
jealous of her, and they often ouarrelled.
She was pretty and attractive She
liked other men than her husband,
which worried the doctor greatly He
never struck her or anything of the kind.
but j believe that if he thought he had
any cause for his jealousy his rage could
not be governed. He and his wife went
out around constantly together, and ap-
parently they were happy. He never
drank and rarely smoked, and his home
life and his work seemed his only
amusements- I thought that this might
pail upon Belle after a while In 1890
he came to us and said that he was
going to New York and then to Eng
land. | think that it was about two
years later that he wrote from London
and said that he had esta blished a fine
practice in the British city, that he
owned his own home and that he and
Belle were living happilv fOpethern

MORE COAL PRESERVED
Total of Lands Withdrawn by
President 71,518,588 Acres.
VALUED AT $449,876,2
Mr.. Taft Signs Orders, Prepared
by Secretary Ballinger, Com
pleting Work.

Beverly. Mass, July 14-President Tart
to-day withdrew more millions of acres of
coal lands In different states of the West,
bringing the total of such withdraWais
made by him up to the enormous total OF
u,51S,5Ss acres. Something like half, % this
amount are new Withdrawals. The work a
now complete and is ep1tomized in the fol
lowing letter to the President from Secre-
tary Balinger:
My Dear Mr.. President: The orders for
the withdrawal of coal lands whlch are
transmitted herewith VIII complete the ser
les which have been prepared In accord
ance with your instructions These orders
confirm and continue all existing coal lano
Withdrawals and add materially thereto
The areas covered are as follows: Arizona,
161 $50 acres: Colorado, 6,191,16 acres; Mon,
tana 90 a02, 855 acres: New Mexico, 2.s44 -Z39
gon, 1872, 5s2 acres; South Dakota, s,S7o. .lSl
acres; Utah, 5.s142T acres; washington,
2,17, ,SS7 acres. and wyoming, 1898. l1S acres.
The total of coal lands now withdrawn ln q
the United States is therefore u,5lsoos
acres.
All the land, however, is open TO agrt-
cultural entry, with a limited surface pat
ent. under the terms of the order OF WITT.
drawal and in accordance with the recent
enactment providing for agricultural sur
face entries on Withdrawn or clasSlned codi
lands.
Already 10,210o82 acres OF coal land, in
part included in the earlier witndrawais.
have been classified and appraised by the
Geological Survey prior to July l, 1910, and
restored to appropriate entry.
The total appraised valuation on these
coal lands is S449, ,S7S 208, as compared with
$500 766, which would be the minimum
price that formerly obtained in the disposal
OF government coal lands.
The order for withdrawal for Alaska. ap-
proved by you on July 2. Is of necessity IN
general terms on account of the lack OF
land surveys. In the explored port on Of
Alaska. which comprises about 20 per cent
of the district, the supposed areas of coal
fields aggregate approximately twelve thou
sand square miles. In these coal fields the
areas believed to be underlain oy W W)rkable
beds of coal are about twelve hundred
square miles, in more than three-fourths or
which area only the lower grade Goals
occur. Thus the known coal lands OF
Alaska which are believed to be affected by
your order of withdrawal aggregate some
10000 acres. Very respectfully.

NO CHARLTON DECISION
State Department Carefully Ex.
plains It's Policy.

Washington. July 14-No decision has
been reached by the State Department N
the case of Porter Charlton, the alleged
murderer OF his wife in Italy. 1t may De
stated authoritatively that up to the present
time the department has had nothing WHAT
ever to do with the case except, on request
OF the italian government, to direct the au-
thorities of the State of New Jersey to
hold Charlton on charges that may be pre-
sented to the examining magistrate or
United States Commissioner before whom
he is to be arraigned.
In the view of the State Department.
mfsapprehension exists as to the status or
the Charlton case. Charlton is in the Gus
tody of the New Jersey authorities In due
time he will be arraigned before an exam
lining magistrate. If the evidence at that
hearing should be such as would induce the
magistrate to hold the accused man for the
crime charged. as If it were committed IN
this country, the magistrate will certify the
evidence and his findings to the Secretary
of State The Secretary will then examine
the evidence and consider, the findings II.
in his Judgment, it should prove to be a
proper case for extradition, a request from
the italian government for the return 70
Italy of the accused man might be enter
figure In the action Of the State Depart
ment That would be matter for the de-
termination of the courts Ia Italy.
The finding Of the examining magistrate
in this country would be final, 50 far as the
State Department is conceI ned. if it should
be in favor of the accused man. No re-
view of the proceeding. in the opinion OF
the State Department oficials. would tie
possible. If. therefore. Charlton should be
found by the examining magistrats not
guilty. or ae not having = prirnA facie case
made against him, and he should be re-
leased, the department world have no juris-
diction over the case.
1t is the desire of the State Department
that # be understood that thus far it has
taken no action beyond granting the re-
quest of the italian government for the ar
rest of Charlton, and 1t will take no furthe-
action until 1t shall have received from the
examining magistrate his report. If it should
be necessary for him to make a report TO
the depa rtment.

rs SAFE FROM EARTHQUAKE
Experts Say Deep Pressure Water Tun-
mel Will Last Centuries.

No ordinary earthquake would destroy or
impair the usefulness OF the proposed deep
pressure tunnel to carry the Catskill water
under Manhattan Island, according to Pro-
fessur William II. Burr. of Columbia Uni
versity.
He thus testified yesterday before the
State Water Commission at a continuation
of their hearing on the proposition of the
local Board of Water Supply.
II the earthquake. were serious enough to
destroy the entire city. he said. it would
not make much difference whether the
water system was destroyed or not Ger
tainly such disturbances of the earth would
do far less damage to a tunnel seven hun
dred feet deep than to a piping system near
the surface
Mr. Brush assistant engineer of the De-
partrnent of Water supply. said that such
tunnel ought to last for several centuries
