London, July 14.--Al the intricate
machinery of Scotland Yard has been
Set ~ motion to effect the capture of
Dr. HaWley II. Crippen, the battered
body Of whose Wife, a noted music hall
singer, known under the stage name
of Belle Gilmore, was found buried
deep in the clay in the cellar of their
homo at Hiildrop Crescent, North Lon
don.
Crippen has been missing since Sat
| urday last. when apparently he could
no longer offer explanation for the
death of his wife, which was alleged to
have occurred months ago in CalifOr-
MIA. Then it was that the police, in
making a thorough examination of the
empty house, came upon the body, mu
tilated and burned beyond recognition
by Quickiine which had been thrown
upon il.
The thick clay by which it was partly
surrounded to some extent retarded the
action of the quickiime and 50 frustrated
the murderers intention of destroying the
body utterly. 1t is reported that the
body had been partly diSSected before
burial, and that nearly all the bones are
missing. requests have been sent out
broadcast that al incoming steamers be
watched.
The belief is strong that Crippen sailed
on Saturday for New York but Their,
have also been rumorS that he was seen
in London not longer ago than this morn
ing. Nothing. however, developed durin.;
the course of the day, although the po-
lice continued their digging at the house
Nothing was found that would throw fur
Their light on the mystery which has be-
come the chief sensation in the London
newspapers.

men whose companionship he has priced
and whose support. he gratefully appre-
eiates, but these issues are here and the
citizen must meet them,
In insisting that the liquor interests
should not be permitted to run the gov
eminent and write the laws intended for
the regulation of the traffic, Mr. Bryan
is not taking an undemocratic position.
The Democratic party contends that
trust magnates should not make the laws
dealing with the trusts-why should the
brewers and distillers write the liquor
laws? Who can justify the action of
the liquor interests of Nebraska i'll pre-
venting the submission of the initiative
and referendum last winter? Self re
spect requires that the Democratic party
shall rebuke those who brought disgrace
upon the Democratic Legislature by
pledging every Democratic candidate
for the Legislature to support a reso-
luton submitting the initiative and ref
erendun.
"While Mr. Bryan is himself a tee
totaler and by precept and example ad-
vises total abstinence, he has no desire
to force his personal views on others or
to prevent the use of liquor under con-
ditions which relieve its use of the evils
which attach to it at present. He be
lieves that the abuses which attend the
sale of liquor are such as to justify the
people in insisting upon the right to pre-
scribe the conditions upon which it can
be transported, sold and used. He fur
Their believes that those who desire to
use liquor in moderation and under rea-
sonable conditions ought to join with
the temperance forces and enact laws
which will discriminate between the le-
gitimate and illegitimate use of hduor
and reduce the evils of intemperance to
minimum"

NEBRASKA CONVENTION.

The Commoner The Nebraska Dem
ocratic State Convention. refused, by a
vote of 647 to 1913, to endorse county
option and this has been heralded over
the country as defeat for Mr.. Bryan
Let all the facts be known: About May
Mr.. Bryan urged the calling of spe-
cfal session of the Legislature to submit
the initiative and referendum He stat
ed that by the submission of the initia-
tive and referendum the county option
fight could be postponed for two years.
He failed to secure the special session.
Then he announced himself in favor of
an endorsement of county option as the
only way to break the hold of the liquor
interests and insure the submission of
the initiative and referendum.
As a result of his fight the Republi-
cans endorsed the initiative and referen-
dunn. thus making it certain that it will
be submitted at the coming session of
the Legislature (the Democrats and
Populists also having endorsed it,
This is victory for the reform for
which he has commended for fourteen
years. He can afford to be turned down
on county option if he can make sure
of the initiative and referendum.
But the Democratic convention de-
feated, by vote of 639 to 2o2, a plank
declaring against county option, and
Governor ShalIenberger announced at
the convention that he would sign A
county option bill. Since the Republi
cans and Populists have declared for
county option and the Democrats have
refused to declare against it. the chances
are largely in favor of the passage of
county option bill. It will be seen.
therefore, that Mr.. Bryan has reason to
rejoice over. the progress made in Ne
braska. 1t matters little what is done
to him, he can be happy so long as the
things he is fighting for win-and thew
are winning in Nebraska.

HECKLE YOUR CANDIDATE
Straight Talk from "Everybody's Maya
zine on How to Improve Conditions
in Congress This Fall.

Everybody's Magazine for August
We are asking you to heckle the can
didate for Congress in your district. The
candidate will not like it. We should
not, if we were a candidate You pro-
baby would not, if you were candi-
date We would probably be tempted,
if we were candidate, to draw our
selves up to our full height, and in a
tone of injured dignity declare:
Your heckling is an impertinence, if
not positive insult. We have lived in
this district so many years. We are
making personal and financial sacrifices
to serve the public. VIE have judgment,
experience, conscience. If you can not
trust us to manage your affairs in
Washington, don't send us. We prefer
not to go if you can not trust US. And
as for stating now how we shall vote on
the questions that come up, we absolute
ly refuse. How can we honestly say how
we shall vote until we have heard all
the facts brought out in debate, and
learned all the complications involved in
every great question? We must decline
TO bind ourselves to shut all doors to

DON'T HAVE TO DROWN
Not One Case of Cramps in a Thous-
and is Dangerous, If the Victim
Knows What to Do and Does 1t.

New York Press: Ninety-nine times
in one hundred drowning is the result
of fright and frenzy There is a public
horror of cramps. Not one case OF
cramps in a thousand is dangerous if
the victim knows what to do and does
it.
Every long distance swimmer entering
"a race expects to get the, cramps, yet he
does not drown, and he doesn't STOP
swimming either. He keeps going until
his legs are in knots; still, he doesn't
sink. He plugs along until there isn't
another kick in him, and even now he
doesn't go down. Instead of that he
rolls over on his back and waits for
the boat to pick him up. It may be a
minute or it may be an hour, but until
the boat comes, the expert will be float
ing around like ship.
When you catch cramp in your
arms or legs don't get excited You may
yell but keep yourself under control.
Don't exert yourself, for it takes little
or no effort to keep afloat Crush down
the feeling of panic Stretch out your
arm or leg, as the case may be, until
you are straining to the utmost Then
strain bit harder, and watch the lump
ed muscle go down.
The dangerous cramp is in the stom-
ach. When that takes you your breath
goes, and you are not able to articulate
sound. I have known of just two
cases among hundred of thousands of
swimmers. When you get that kind of
eramp you may as well say your pray
ers, but you won't get it, if you don't
eat for two hours before going into the
water
Professional swimmers go hungry
half day before entering race, and
they never know such a thing as stofn-
ach cramp.
If bather in trouble would use com
mon sense he would never drown. The
belief is general that three times under
water for the drowning person means
Grape and flowers. It's true if you make
the mistake of taking water for air
Hold your mouth shut when you are
under water, and you will keep going
down and coming up all day Do not
exhaust yourself struggling. Relax every
muscle and don't move hand. You'll
find that you will never sink lower than
your ears, and that in a few seconds you
will rise up until your shoulders are dry.
You can keep doing this Indefinitely,
but, of course if you drink water you
wilt be weighted and down you will go.

Mr.. BRYAN'S POSITION.

The position of Mr.. Bryan on the
liquor question is explained in the Com
moner:
In speaking out against the evils Of
intemperanee and in proposing remedies
he not only has nothing to gain politi-
cally but he risks the alienation of val
ued friends who agree with him on
this. Nothing less imperative than a
sense of duty could lead him to take a

Therein is your answer to the candi-

and depending on their Judgment, and
experience, and consciences, for a great
many years, and while in many notable
instances our trust has been honOred
in far too many our trust has. been be

way Congress as a whole has looked
after our intcrcsts-the interests of the
whole people.
1--WE have tried the delegated govern
ment-leaving everything to the judg-
mcnt and honor Of our representatives.
and we are not satisfied with the result.
1t may be the only way, and we may
never be able to get better results; but,
before admitting SO disappointing a cor
clusion, we are going to take one short
step in the direction of popular govern
mcnt. We are going to try to find out
how nearly you represent us before we
decide to send you to Washington.
Surely there is no offense in that; and if
you really desire to represent us, and
not yourself, or some special interest,
you ought it seems to lis, to be glad
to tell us frankly what your attitude is
on the big questions. How. else can we
know whether you represent us, or not?
We don't wish to tie you down. limit
you, hamper your Judgment We do,
wish to leave z margin for new inform
ton But we have listened 50 long to
fine speeches! We have read so many
broad and beneficient platforms, only to
find ourselves in the end thwarted,
tricked, deserted that we are sick of
platforms and speeches, sick of party

to know now what you personally-you
the man-are going to do for us men,

If we were in your shoes we should
probably feel as you do. Put yourself
in Our shoes, and if we mistake not,
you will synpathize with Our position
and comply with Our request most will
ingly. These questions we are asking
you are not new. They have been dis
cussed and discussed and discussed.
Every constituent of yours has convic-
tons on these questions, so thoroughly
have they been discussed. You must
have given them a great deal of in
telligent thought. You must have very
definite ideas of what you will do when
you get to Washington. Surely it is not
such a dreadful thing to ask of you that
you give us an idea of where you stand, |
and how you expect to represent u.s."
