So licitor Newton drew out the statement that throughout the earlier stages of the examination of the crime, Crippen ap peared perfectly cool and collected, and was courteous, affording the police eerry fa-Iitv for searching the house. Counsel tried to get the witness to aay that the parts found might have been burled long prior to the disappearance of Mrs. Crippen. but Dew Insisted that though portions were decomposed, other bits of flesh remained quite firm, and when cut appeared fresh.

Irrigation and Fruit Development Work F.nrtu Ooonty Refuse Aid on Koads. . GOLD EXD ALE, Wash.. Sept. I. 8am oel Hill has paid off his laborers a MaryhllL stopped all work on hla big irrigation and fruit tract project, ana declares that he will withdraw from Klickitat County. This means the cat ting off of a payroll of 12.000 a month. and the suspension of the greatest in dust rial project In this part of the state. The reason for this action is tnat tn County Commissioners of this county, on Tuesday, refused to appropriate tlO.00 for the purpose of aiding the state road now being built In this county, the state funda for which are exhausted. Last Sunday. Mr. XI ill waa here with the State Road Commission and took 4 of the.leading business men and farmers of this section to Lyle to Inspect the road work being done by the convicts from the State Penitentiary, and at that time it was decided to ask the Cotnmis slonera'of this county to supply the needed money for the completion of th road which. It waa agreed, was one or the greatest agencies in development now at work In this section. The Commls s loners declined to supply the money and thereby caused Interruption to the state road work. The withdrawal of Mr. Hill from Klickitat County and the proposed nail Ing hp of his buildings at Maryhiil and the suspension of the development of his big estate, is one of the hardest blows ever struck this county, and the business. men and farmers of this section are in dignant. The town Is excited, and meeting will probably be held to try to raise sufficient funds by private sub scription for the road work in order to pacify Mr. Hill and keep him and his great project here. Goldendale today la excited ' and the Commissioners are roundly abused for the position taken which it la generally said is a short sighted policy.

The two am'endmenta mean a total of flT.oo0.000. with which San Francisco will go before Congress In December when asking the1 government's approval of the exposition, as 17.500.000 Is the sum San Franciscans subscribed voluntarily to the exposition funds.
