FALLS To
DEATH ON
A TRAIN
MYSTERIOUS Fall From Ca
boose on an Inland
Train.

An Italian named David D. Pill
Iotte, aged "a, fell from the caboose
of a freight car on the Inland EN-
pire system about quarter of a
mile this side of Waverly, shortly
after I o'clock this morning, and
was found a short time later, dead.
He had several bruises and con-
tusions on his head which are be-
lieved to have been tho cause Of
death.
1t is not known how he came to
his death, as the conductor was
not in the car at the time. In
parting the cars he may have fall
len to his death. He had been EN-
ployed by the railway since July
IA, and as far as is known had no
relatives in Spokane. He was un-
married, and lived at the Cadillac
hotel
The body was brought to the
city about 10 o'clock and taken to
Gilman's undertaking parlors. Cor
oner Schlegel was notified and con-
Quoted preliminary investigation
1t is not likely that an inquest will
be held.

CHICAGO, July 19-Bruce Miller,
former actor and well-to-do real
estate dealer, in a. statement to the
United Press today defended the
character of Mrs. Crippen, the wo-
man the London police allege to
have been murdered in London by
her husband, DR.. Hawley H. Grip
pen, the American dentist.
Miller declares he knew the Grip
pens well, but ridiculed the report
that he and Mrs. Crippen had at
one time planned to elope. -
The story of my planning to
elope is absurd" said Miller today.
81 knew the Crippens and dined
at their house frequently. but any
friendship between Mrs. .Crippen
and myself was purely platonic. l
am sure Crippen was not Jealous of
me.
Il was on the vaudeville stage
from 1898 to 1904. during which
time our acquaintance continued.
The Crippens left for England in
1904 and l have not seen them
since"

syVhnt Are the Facts?v

Bishop Burt makes reply to Archbish-
op Ireiand's STRUCTURES upon the Meth
odits Episcopal church." In refuting tho
charge the archbishop made that the
Methodist schools offered advantages
gratuitously, and that he spoke from
personal observation and inquiry" he
says.
What are the facts? Soon after we
arrived in Rome, in 1890, under the aus.
pices of our Epworth league, we insti-
tuted during the winter season classes for
study of English, French and German.
The class in English was especially well
attended. The lessons, however, were
not gratuitous, as the archbishop asserts
because we wanted only Tho Sc who really
desired to study and were willing to pay
for it. AS soon as our puri lis were able
to read English we provided them each
with copy of the New Testament, whfrh
they read, committing some passages 10
memory. Did we do harm In teaching
these young people English and in storing
their minds with some passages from
Gods word? When the priests saw the
success of our enterprise, Irish monks
were brought upon the scene, and they
opened classes in English on the same
street with us and gave lessons gratuitous
ly. We had other work to do ami
often had to be away from Rome, and
when away there was no one else at that
time to take our place. The trouble has
been all the time that we have had to do
our work amid bitter opposition and cruel
persecution, but with absolutely made
quate means, while the vatican has had
it's untold millions with which to pay It's
agents While, however, these evening
classes for languages did not continue
many years, they passed into the more
permanent educational equipment of our
schools and institutions which exist to-
day, and which were never more prosper
Gus and efficient than now. as hundreds
of our friends from American personally
know because they have seen for them
selves
'Tn none of our schools Is the instruc-
ton gratutious. In all of them there are
a few scholarships, as there are in schools
in America, for the benefit of some poor
but worthy boys and girls. What We lack
all the time is adequate equipment We
need larger places in which to receive the
many who wish to come to us and
scholarships to help those who will do
their very utmost to help themselves"

SHARP REACTION IN

LAST PRICES LOWEST

New York, October 15.-Lower cables
er reports were followed by quite sharp
reaction in the cotton market today, the
close being barely steady at a net loss
of IL to II points.
The market opened steady at decline
of 9 to 10 points in response to lower
cables. At first selling was restricted
by early reports stating that the west
Indian storm was approaching south
Florida and threatened to sweep up the
South Atlantic coast and shortly after
the opening prices rallied or points
from the lowest.
In other respects the weather news
was generally favorable. however, there
wires were received from New Orleans
claiming that there had been change
in the course of the tropical storm which
would carry it out over the Atlantic,

be a considerable demand from trade in
forests on a scale down but last prices
were at the lowest of the day.
Reviews of the dry goods situation
were generally encouraging, as they sug
gested that the higher prices asked dur
ing the week had not checked demand
and comparatively large business was re-
ported at Fall River
These reports in connection with many
private wires from interior southern
points claiming very firm spot markets
no doubt helped the rally after the open
ing decline, but local sentiment seemed
to favor reaction on the ground that
prices were high enough to discount
known bullish factors. and that the good
weather in the south justified some in
crease in estimates of the crop.
