THERE is at least one member of the
Manufacturers Club in Philadelphia
who has observed the fat-frying process
campaign after campaign to some pur-
pose. When the club created q com
mittee to hold up" all the protected
interests in that city for money to use
in efforts to elect republicans to Con-
gress, Herman Loeb said: 1t seems to
me that the tariff is entirely too often
used as a club held over the manufactur-
ers and the business mans head TO force
money from him." The Record OF
that city says: There arc other and
still baser uses 10 which the tariff has
been put, and Mr.. Loeb referred to
them when he shocked his fcllow-club-
men by asking whether the existence OF
the party was more important than the
character OF the men composing the
party. A good many rascals have been
trading on the party rame.

SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. -

THE deposed King Manuel Of Por-

the traditional friend and ally Of the
country which has deposed him. Ne
cessity has often made England the
chosen refuge OF deposed kings. 1t
was absolute necessity, apalt from all

Napolean III thither, for he would
have been unwelcome elsewhere. it
was necessity that sent Louis Xviii
there after he had been ordered to
leave Russia and had been informed
that his continued presence i'll Prussia
would be unwelcome and embarras-
sing to its government. In Vienna he
was as heartily dislikcd as Napoleon

CRIPpEN DECLARED GUILTY.

Jury Brought in Verdict in Twenty
Nine Mfnutes-Death Sentence Passed
on the Convicted Man-Mitigation of
Sentence Possible.
London, Oct. 22.-Dr. Hawley Har-
vey Crippen was found guilty today OF
the murder OF his wife, Belle Elmore
Crippen. The jury was out 20 minutes,
having retired at 2:17 p. m.
Crippen's conviction followed an I'M
passioned appeal by Kings Counsel Z.
D. Muir in his closing address for the
prosecution, and instructions by Presl-
dent Judge Lord Alverstone that were
considered unusually favorable to the
prosecution.
Crippen received the verdict with a
fair show OF composure, as the speech
of Muir and the instructions OF the
court had evidently prepared him for
the worst. The verdict was read amid
an almost oppressive silence, after Lord
Alyerstone had warned those in the
courtroom against any demonstration.
Lord Alverstone. donning black cap
passed the sentence OF death upon
Crippen. This was the only sentence
possible under the verdict. but there
is chance that this sentence will
be committed to life imprisonment,
owing to the circumstantial nature OF
the case against the accused.
Immediately after pronouncing sem
tence on the prisoner, the customary
formality was followed OF asking Grip
pen whether he lad anything to say.
In firm voice that betrayed little OF
the emotion that must have been agi-
tating the prisoner, Crippen replied;
II still protest my innocence.
Lord Alverstone fixed the date OF the
hanging Of Crippen for either Novem.
Der IA or Is.
Crippen may appeal to the Criminal
Court OF Appeals, either on the ground
OF facts or of law, but there is scant
probability OF such an appeal availlng
him anything. ;,
In pronouncing sentence Lord
Alyerstone said The prisoner has
been convicted on evidence that leaves
no doubt in any reasonable mind that
he cruelty poisoned bis vile and mutt
lated her body"
Turning to the doctor, Lord Aver
stone then said impressively: I advise
you to entertain no hope OF escaping
the gallows. l implore you to make
your peace with God"
Besides the appeal to the criminal
court of appeals, the home secretary
can order this court to reconsider the
case. This court can either affirm the
sentence, upset the verdict or order a
new trial. Ii the sentence is upheld, OF
which there is no doubt, the. only
chance for Crippen is the exercise OF
royal clemency, which is only put into
force on the recommendation OF the
home secretary.
Ethel Clare Leneve, Crppen's
former stenographer, who fled with
him after the murder of his wife, and
who is under indictment on charge
Of being an accessory after the fact,
will be placed on trial next Tuesday.
Had Crippen been acquitted she would
have been freed.
London, Oct. 22.-Late this evening
DR.. Crippen suffered from severe faint
ing spells and special medical aid was
summoned to Brixton Jail to treat him.
H,,is greatly depressed over his con-
Tiction OF murder and the imposition
of the death penalty.

Reward for John Moore.

Livingston, Va, Oct % Failing
TO receive news of the lynching of
John Moore, convicted slayer of Frank
Howell, and sentenced to the electric
chair. who was taken from the Jail
here Friday morning, Sheriff Bates
admitted that he was convinced that
the mob of Is mountaineers who
overpowercd the guards and got pos
session OF the murderers, we're friend
instead of enraged mobbers. With Gov.
Mann styling the delivery Of the con-
victed prisoner as an out rage against
the dignity OF the commonwealth and
an act of anarchy which shall never
be cordoned by me-" infuriated citi-
zens and country folk for miles around
excoriating him for permitting the
delivery, and reiterated statements
that Moore has been spirited out OF
the state by the mountaineers, Sheriff
Estes is making every efforts to follow
the trial left by the rescuers. he has
deputized several score citizens, all
mounted and armed, to assist 10 try
ing to capture the murderer and his
deliverers.
A pitched battle between the sheriff's
pose and the mountaineers will un-
doubtedly result if the two parties meet.
Sheriff Estes said today his party had
penetrated the woods and underbush,
and searched many mountain cabins,
but found no trace Of the fleeing party.
He is confident, however, that the
party will be located and expects blood
shed, because all the mountaineers
were armed when they rescued Moore.
Governor. Mann has offered a reward of
$500 for the capture OF Moore, and
Nelson county has offered 500. The
chief executive said he would not call
out the militia, unless he found it
necessary.
