chine with agility, was whirled across
the city to the ferry for Long Is
land and a little after noon was in
oyster Bay. The first orders were
that no one should be permitted to in

plunge into his accumulated mass Of

cRIPPEN DEFENSE ACTIVE
Has Its Own Pathologists Examine
Remains Found in Cellar.

London, Sept. 12.-Arthur Newton,
counsel for Harvey II. Crippen, who is
on trial here charged with murder
ing his wife, known to the stage as
Belle Elmore, was today engaged to
defend Ethel Clare Leneve, Crippens
typist, who also is on trial as an ac-
cessory i'm the alleged crime after the
fact. This will make possible closer
between the two accus-
ed persons, who heretofore had been
kept apart and not permitted to con-
suit with one another.
Another step in the fight to save
the prisoners from conviction was
taken today when two pathologists
engaged by the defense examined the
body unearthed in Crippen's cellar
in Hill Drop Crescent, London. Solic-
itor Newton expects to receive reports
from these pathologists in time for
use as the basis of cross-examination
of the police experts when the trial
of DR.. Crippen and Miss Leneve is
continued wednesday in the Bow
street police court. An analyst mas
been retained by the defense also to
investigate and report on the alleged
finding of poison in the body.
The engagement of experts to con-

officials of the Home office is un-
usual in England and indicates tha'

TO RAISE STUDENT BOARD
Ann Arbor Landladies to Boost IL TO
S4OO

"
Ann Arbor, Mich. Sept. 12.-Prac-
tically all the boarding houses In the
city will raise the price of board to
$4 when the students return in Octo-
ber. This is made necessary on ac-
count of the high price of foodstuffs.
Many of the houses attempted to raise
to S4 last fall, and some two or three
did raise. but the others failed to fol-
low suit. This year, however, 1t is
all settled and an inquiry at any OF
the better houses bring forth the fact
that the price of board has been
boosted.
There are houses in this town that
last year charged but $3.50 for table
board. There are other houses that
charged 49, They will probably raise
so cents each. There has also been a
considerable talk regarding the rails
ing of room rent. but except in few
cases the old prices will prevail at
least for another year, as the land
ladies could not agree to stand to-
gether in the movement to boost pri-
ces.

Arrested, and Is Held on Circum-
stantiaI Evidence - Hear
ing Tomorrow.

An attempt was made early Sun
day morning to dynamite the home

ior, but fortunately none of the Phil
lips family were injured. They were,
however. badly frightened. the explo-
sion shattering the windows of the
house and knocking dishes from the
shelves John PlesL he, employed at
Tamarack No. shaft, and residing
at Tamarack Junior. has been ar
rested on suspicion as the perpetra-
tor of the crime.
Mr.. Phillips, who is master me-
chanic at one of the Kearsarge
branches of the Osceola Consolidated.
and also in charge of the houses of
the company at Tamarack Junior, re-
Gently ordered Pleshe out of the
house he is occupying, and in revenge
il is believed he attempted to dyna-
mite the Phillips home. Pless he had
been giving the company considerable
trouble, it is said, by stealing. and in
consequence was ordered to vacate
his premises.
The man was arrested about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon and was
taken to the county Jail at Hough-
ton. He will be arraigned in one of
the Justice courts tomorrow, and
probably will be charged with at
tempted murder. The investigation
of the case is not completed and Is

was made by August Beck, special po-
lice officer of the Calumet & Hecla
Mining Co., and Under Sheriff Phil
Sheridan.

morning about o'clock, after Pleshe.
who was night shift, had quit work.
A search of his home yesterday morn
ing resulted In the finding of two
fuses. In the afternoon Pleshe was
taken I'm custody. The evidence Is of
a circumstantial nature. but the Of
ficers deem 1t important enough to
hold him.
The Phillips home was not badly
damaged by the explosion. although
the windows were broken. The dyna-
mite was placed near the stone foun-
dation of the building.

MICHIGAN fruit
CROP VERY POOR
ONLY ONE HALF NORMAL CROP
WILL BE HARVESTED THIS
YEAR SAYS AN m. A. c.
PROFESSOR

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 12.-"The fruit
harvest of Michigan will be less than
half full crop" said Prof. l.. r. Taft,
expert horticuturist at NJ. A. c., who
has thoroughly looked into the con-
ditions of the orchards in practically
all parts of the state. "a strange fea-
ture of this years condition. is that
In the counties where the largest
number of trees are located the fewest
peaches are grown. while in counties
where there are fewer orchards, very
good crops will in many cases be har-
vested. The grape harvest will be far
below average and not more than half
crop will be obtainable The apple
harvest will be scarcely more than a
quarter of crop"
Prof. Taft stated today that peach
yellows had given considerable trou-
BILE this year. There Is no remedy
for this disease except as 1t can be
checked by concerted action I'm de-
stroying infected trees. Some or
cfards, previously free from the
dreaded disease. were found this year
to be badly infected. Some of the
best orchards around Grand Rapids
and In Oakland county have lost half
of their trees because of the ravages
Of this disease.
Prof. Taft, who also has charge of
the horticultural exhibit at the Mich
igan State fair, expects that this
years exhibit will consist of finer
quality of fruit than for many years
past. 1t Is expected that more coun-
try organizations will exhibit fruit In
contest for the county honors than
ever before. Two large cups instead
of one will be offered this year. one
for each part of the state.

FlNNS MAY NOT OBEY.
Not Likely to Accept Provisions of
Law of Russian Gar

Helsingfors, Sept. 12.-The opin-
ion universally expressed by the peo-
pie is that the law of June 80 con-
stitutes an illegal assault on the Fin
nish constitution, and that until ac-
cepted by the Diet the provisions OF
that law cannot be enforced i'm Fin
land. The general opinion also is that
the Firms will refuse to proceed to the
election of the representatives Of
Finland in the Duma and I'm the inn
perial council, this being the pur-
pose for which the special session OF
the Diet is summoned for Sept. II.

which is the leading organ of the
Swedish folk party, the immediate flu
ture of the people will be very hard,
but that journal goes on to say that
the lot Of the people would be made
no easier were they to accept "the
unheard-of injustice which has been
accomplished by the completion of the
Finnish BILL"
According to the standing orders OF
the House. II is set forth that the
members shall vote according to
their own consciences and accord
ing to the constitutional laws of Fin
land" In the decree summoning the
Diet to meet on Sept. IA. however
II is stated that the work of the
Diet shall be performed according
to the law passed by the Duma and
council and signed by the Emperor
One of the questions to be discuss
ed at this special session is the sub
stitution of financial contribution
for personal military service. This
question not having been settled by
the Films, decree was issued by
