the pompous high school lads and las

holiday. .

after his return from the navy yard
Secretary of the Navy, Meyer said:
have come to the coast to look into
the preparations for a proper system
of coast defense. Before It can be done
however; care must be taken that this
coast can maintain a fleet Your pres

New York, Oct 11 Baptists of
southern New York, including this
city began their annual session today
In North' Church, west Eleventh
street, .and will remain three days.
New York, Oct. 11 Cardinal Logue,
the Catholic prelate of Ireland, In a
public statement today upheld the
Diirpoee of the Roman Catholic church
by declaring that the catholic church,
because of Its fundamental teachings,
to be America's salvation. He said,
"The church strikes at the very root
of things tending to bring about na
tional decay."
Intimated grafting by public officials
and the divorce, he said, were Ameri
ca's besetting sins. Agalns such evil
influences the church always waged
warfare.
Logue's prediction Is scouted unreser
vedly by Charles Aked, a prominent
paBtor of the Fifth avenue Baptist
church who said: "Even Catholics ad
mit they are strongest among the Ig
norant For centuries the Catholic
church has been an unrelenting foe
of educational liberty."
London, Oct. 11 Dr. Harvey H
Crinnen will soon be brought to trial
for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Cora
Crippen, known on the stage as Belle
Elmore. The sensational case which
has aroused the interest of the peo:
pie of two continents, is set down for
the criminal sessions opened today
Some days will be occupied with min
or hearlnn before CrlDDen and his
alleged accomplice, Miss Ethel Len
eve. face the bar of Justice, but it is
probible the case will be called about
a week from today, Oct. 18.
The evidence admitted at the in
quest was considered very strong, the
weakest link in the chain of evidence
being the Identification of the body
supposed to be that of Crippen's wife.
Experts admitted that there was noth
ing to identify the rains as those of
the doctor's acress wife, and were
unable to state positively that the body
was that of a woman.. The coroner
admitted that the body was unusually
num.- but insisted nevertheless that
the remains were undoubtedly human
Physicians who will testify at the
trial of Crippen frankly say that they
will not be able to swear that the mut
ilated remains were those of a woman,
all Indications of sex having been re
moved, but they will assert that the
remains were more likely those of a
woman than a man. Several women
friends of the actress will testify that
she had a peculiar scar and physicians
will swear that a mark found is now
carefully preserved by the court offi
cials, will be Identified by several
people as similar to the hair of Belle
Elmore. '
One of the most damaging phases of
the evidence against Crippen will be
the testimony of physicians that by
ocln was found in the body and proof
that Dr. Crippen had previously pur
chased a quantity of this drug from a
London chemist.

Crtonen after the disappearance of
