St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 8. That
President Taft disgraced the National
Conservation Congress by talking pol
itics when he was expected to dis
cuss conservation was the direct
charge made today before the exec
utive committee of the congress by
Henry Hartner.
"The president humiliated tho or
ganization" ho heatedly declared.
"The reception the delegates gave
him was very cool; so cool, in fact
that even the great office ho holds
was not honored by it.
"On the other hand, Roosevelt, a
private citizen, was honored beyond
measure. Tho president's political
remarks were not In good taste. He
was to talk conservation, and he did
not. President Baker, of the con
gress, will verify this.
"In view of what has happened the
delegates should take matters into
their own hands, eliminate all politics
and talk conservation. Now that the
political end of tho congress appears
'to have been reached, some persons
actually are trying to adjourn the
session tonight."
Hartner's charges resulted in tho
inauguration of a movement to elect
J. B. White, of Kansas City, president
of tho congress. White's friends
charge that the efforts to end the
congress tonight are part of a plan
to discredit Taft and honor President
Baker, of the congress.
President Baker's announcement
of adjournment tonight undoubted
ly will result in the presentation of
resolutions before tho congress de
manding that 'the sessions continue
tomorrow.
Hartner's declaration that Baker
knew that Taft was supposed to con
fine his remarks to conservation. sub
jects, tho delegates appear to be
lieve will precipitate further diffi
culty, unless tho resolution to con
tinue the congress, whiph Hartner
himself will introduce, receives fa
vorable consideration. I
The resolution Introduced by Hart
ner, changing the time for electing
officers tonight, was adopted by the
committee. Another resolution rec
ommending a national health com
mission, also was' adopted.
Intense opposition to a general en
dorsement of this measure by the
congress Is expected, It being urged
by many delegates that Its adoption
would be tantamount to an endorse
ment of the "medical trust."

today, when the hearing of his case
was resumed In tho Bow street police
court.
Evidently the announcement that
chemists for tho crown had discov
ered evidonces of hyoscin in the mu
tilated body dug from tho cellar of
the Crippen's North London home,
and which Is alleged by tho govern
ment to have been tho body of Mrs.
Crippen, has caused tho doctor much
anxiety. Ho was startled Tuesday by,
the announcement that traces of the
drug had been found, and ,today he
was worn and haggard looking when
tho hearing was resumed,
He conversed with Mile. Lenovo
while tho trial waB in progress to
day, speaking of the discovery to
hor. Tho girl, who fled to AnjTa

Tho court officers today mado an
offort to provent Crippen talking to
his formor typist. Tho crown, it is
intimated, has given up all hopo of
inducing tho girl to testify against
tho doctor.
That MUo. Ethol Leneve, Dr. Crlp-
pon's typist, was seon wearing Jew
elry nnd clothing which bolonged to
Mrs. Crippen aftor the lattor's dis
appearance was tho testimony glvon
by Mrs. Smythson, of Brixton, who
was nn acquaintance of both wo
men, About the same timo, sho tes
tified, Crippen told hor his wlfo had
died whllo enrouto to America.
A Mrs. Harrison, of Brixton, tes
tified that she had seon Mllo, Lenovo
wearing clothing belonging to Mrs.
Crlppon. Tho attorney for thu
crown endeavored to substantiate
with nor testimony that glvon by
Mrs. Smythson.
Mrs, Harrrlson testified that
strands of hair taken from tho head
of tho corpso found In tho Crlppon
basetnont was similar to Mrs. Crip
pen's, Sho also testiflod that tho
undergarments found on tho body
woro of tho samo quality nnd texture
as those worn by the missing woman.
A scar noted on tho body, sho confi
dently declared, had boon shown hor
by Mrs. Crlppon.
During Mrs. Harrison's testimony
Crlppon appeared nervous. Ho winced
when the woman told of tho scar.
Aftor Mrs. Harrison had boon dis

ard, who crossed tho Atlantic to ar
rest Crlppon and tho woman, took
the stand.

homo. AA'hon ho stopped her, sho
appearod agltatod and in answer to
a quostlon regarding her identity,
declared shewas Crippen's house
keeper. Later she told him her
true namo.
A mild sensation was created by
the entrance Into tho Bow stret
court, shortly after the hearing was
tho places reserved for them without
their Identity becoming known, but
when they entered tho room there
was a general craning of necks and
an excited buzz of whispering.
Sir AVilliam Gilbert, the British
dramatist and composer, appeared
before tho hearing was begun. He
waB seated beside the presiding
judge.
Crippen's relations with his wifo
woro strained at tho time of her dis
appearance, according to tho testi
mony of Inspector Dew, who was re
called to tho stand after the examin
ation of several., witnesses. Mr3.
Crippen's temper, ho intimated, led
to frequent ruptures.
"On tho night of January. 31," Dew
said, "Crippen and his wlfo had ono
of their periodic quarrels, Mrs. Crip
pen threatened to leave him the next
day. My authority, for.vthesostato
ments is Crippen himself.
"Aftor this quarrel .Mrs..,. Crippen
Wjis not seen ngainv Crlppon told me
his wlfo threatonod to go with a man
who could' 'keep hor In bettijr style.'
After sho disappeared I asked him If
ho knew of hor whereabouts., Ho
said ho did not, but confessed :that
ho had spread the story of her death
to hide any scandal that might fol
low her dlappearanco."
Dew then road n statoment he had
seciod from Mile. Lonove. Tho girl
had said that Crippen told hor his
wifo had gone to Amorica, and re
quested her to live at tho Crippen
homo during hor absence. Later, the
stntoment road, Crippen told her his
wifo had died en routo to America.
Detective Sergeant Mitchell cor
roborated Dew's story of tho ndlng
of tho body in tho basoment of tho
Crlppon homo. Tho hearing was then
adjourned until next Wednesday;
