FIGHT IN ENGLAND
Cripoen Accepts London Lawyer's
Offer to Defend Him.
REBUFFS QUEBEC COUNSEL
Proposal to Take His Case Free of
Charge Is Refused.
OCCUPIES HIS TIME READING
Denied at Quebec That Girl Has
Made Any Admissions Damaging
to Companion.
QT'EBKt *. August 3.?Dr. Crippen today
cabled to Arthur Newton of London
accepting the solicitor's services. The
message reads:
"Accept your offer. Secrecy will be observed."
Two Quebec attorneys today sent word
to the prisoner that they were ready to
help him resist extradition. To the jailer
who bore the communications Crippen
said:
"My fight will not be made here. It
will be made on the other side."
Crippen made it clear that he would not
accept legal assistance from any one here.
Dr. Crippen slept well last night and
appeared in moderately good spirits
when he arose at ?5 o'clock. He had!
breakfast an hour later. The prisoner i
spends his days reading .and walking in
the jail corridor.
Miss Leneve. jointly chaiged with Crippen
with murder, remained in the prison j
infirmary. Site is being kepit there not!

Girl Had Most Money.
I tie pretty typist is better supplied with
funds than is her male companion. While
hut $18 were found on Crippen the girl
carried $?*> in currency.
A large part of this sum was used today
by the prison matron to purchase
clothing suitable for her charge. The
authorities continue their extremely considerate
treatment of the girl, but continued
reports that she has made admissions
damaging to Crippen or in the
way of establishing iter own innocence
a:? denied.
Ciippen's comparative calm gives, ac<
> ding to his keepers, a positive refutati<
n of the allegation made in London
thut !.e had been addicted to the use of
utugs.
P,efuses Quebec Attorney's Offer.
i
U appears that Crippen will not want
1 : counsel. Yesterday a iocal attorney
\ Is t.pd the jail and. through the jailer,
m i a message to Crippen offering his
j rv < *s free oT expense. He said that he
I d been retained by persons in l/ondon,
1 names of whom he declined to make
] .ijwti. Crippen promptly refused the
t .offered aid. and at the same time hold
i ? pi .son governor. Joseph Morin, that
}.< had a lawyer in London and did not
iited another.
This statement was made before he had
received the message from Newton, and
i: is believed by some that Crippen had
anticipated a move by certain of his
J omlon friends.
Inspector Dew and Chief McCarthy
\ isired Crippen last night and remained
with him for some time. What transit
red was not made public beyond the
fact that the prisoner had requested Dew
to purchase for hint several books.
SAYS CRIPPEN ACCEPTED.
London Solicitor Claims to Have
Reply From Prisoner.
LONDON, August .'{.?Arthur Newton, a
London solicitor, this afternoon confirmed
the press dispatches from Quebec which
stated that he had undertaken the defense
of Crippen. Newton said that he
had been approached by friends of the
pr >ner and had cabled to the latter askS
if he desired him t< take up the case.
Crippen, he said, replied, assenting. Newion
declined to re\eal the names of these
friends who had retained tiim
Newton's appearance in the case took
the authorities by surprise and the police
are puzzled to know who can be behind
the movement. I'nless Newton has
been engaged on tiehaif of " e prisoner,
however, an offer by him to take up the
case would under the Kngllsh practice be
considered a breach of ivofessional etiquette.
As it is the case must first pass the po1
re court stage before tiie solicitor for the
defense can figure in it. Supt. Froest of
Scotland Yard sai l this afternoon that lie
had received no word of any new turn at
'Quebec since the prisoners were remanded
.Monday.
New Facts Brought Out.
Several important facts bearing on the
F.elle Klmore murder case came to light
tod^y.
In the first place, Scotland Yard took occasion
to dispose of the rumors that a
confession had been received from either
1 ?r. Crlppen or Miss I.eneve, under arre?st
at Quebec as fugitives front justice, and
who will be brought here for trial on the
charge of. murder.
It was stated by the police that Inspector
Dew's cablegram to headquarters
announcing lha: the a cased had been remanded
by the Quebec cc r: for a later
hearing. concluded with the word "unconfeenlon."'
The police also Met it be known that
progress was being made in the development
of evidence Will,arn Long, a former
assistant of Dr. Crippen, who was a
witness at the inquest over the fragments
of a human body found in the cellar of
Crippen s liilldrop Crescent home, was
inclined to shield the fugitive, has since
taiked freely with the authorities-.
Kot a long time he withheld facts from
the prosecutor. It was Long who on the
day that Crippen and ids companion disapja-ared
purchased the suit of boy's
clothing in which Miss l.eneve was attired
at tite time of her arrest. Long
has now explained that at the time w hen
tie executed this errand for Cripoen he
fully believed the doctor's story to the

The family and other friends ..f Miss
Leneve became active in her behalf today
and en^aved a provincial solicitor to
look after her interests from the time
that she is returned within the jurisdiction
of the Kn^lish courts. The lawyer
retained has long heen a friend of the

Kansas primaries yesterday.
Six out of eight yisurgent representa- j
fives have been nominated in spite of
everything t ie congressional organiza- j
tion in Washington and the regulars in ;
Kansas could do to save their men. Their j
majorities run from 1.000 to O.oOO.
Of the six standpat representatives who j
were seeking renomination only two are
sure of being on the ticket this fall. In
the third district P. P. Campbell defeated
! Arthur Cranston, insurgent. In the first
district Representative D. R. Anthony, a
strong Cannon adherent, won over T. A.
McXeal, insurgent. Anthony's majority

in the fifth, leader of the standpatters,
was defeated by about 2,000 votes.
Victor Murdock and K. H. Madison, in|
surgent leaders, had no opposition.
Stubbs Renominated.
I
W. R. Stubbs for governor lias been renominated
with a majority over Thomas
Wagstaff of about 20,000, or 2,000 more
tiian he had over Cy I.eland two years
ago. Stubbs. is an insurgent, Wagstaff
a regular.
Gov. Stubbs is considered a probable

i Charles Curtis in 1SI12. He lined up with
' the insurgents, while Senator Curtis took
part in the recent campaign in behalf
of the regulars.

Victor Murdock's Comment.
WICHITA, Kan., August .'I.?Victor
! Murdock, tlie insurgent leader in Conj
gress, in his home in tins city today
heard the news of the. insurgent victories
in Kansas yesterday. Mr. MurI
dock said to the Associated Press:
"The significance of the overwhelmjing
insurgent victory in Kansas is twuI
fold. ^
First?It is a complete repudiation
of both Cannon and the system by
which lie has robbed the people of free
government in the House. Scott, Miller
and Reeder were chairmen of important
House committees, while Calderhead
was on tiie ways and means
committee. All were beaten because
they subscribed to the Cannon system.
"Second?The Kansas insurgent vicI
tory is an effort by the republicans
of Kansas to say with emphasis to
j the nation that the republican party
of Kansas, by indorsing Gov. Stubbs
and the Kansas insurgents in Congress.
stands for immediate and eftective
legislation framed to drive special
and selfish interests out of control
in American politics."

INDORSESJG LAW
Director Anderson Favors
Muzzling for a Year.
MANY CASES OF RABIES
Nearly 200 Treated at Hygienic
Laboratory in Two Years.
_I i
ALL BITTEN BY MAD DOGS!
]
Government Physician Facts Warrant
Proposed Plan of the District
Commissioners to Protect Public.
Dr. John F. Anderson, director of
the hygienic laboratory of the public
health and marine hospital service and
an expert on the Pasteur method for
the treatment of persons bitten by
dogs afflicted with rabies, heartily in- ;
dorsed today the plan for the muzzling I
of all dogs in the District for a year. I
which, it is ex*pected, the Commission- i
ers will put into effect tomorrow.
"Those of us who have made a study i
of rabies." said he, "and who have |
watched its progress in the District. !
realize that the protection of the pub- ;
lie demands eternal vigilance on the
part of the authorities. I have long
felt that all dogs should be muzzled
throughout the year, and I do not hesitate
to say that the proposed order
requiring that this be done has the
hearty support of this arm of the government
service.
"As 1 pointed out to Dr. Woodward,
we are now treating the largest number
of persons that we ever treated at any 1
one time?twenty-four. Since this work
was commenced in the District in April.
1008, we have treated 102 persons who
had been bitten by mad dogs. It must be ]
understood that we do not treat any persons
here except the fact is established j
hat flic rinffn which hit them ha.t rahipu
A bacteriological examination of the head
of the animal must establish this fact
before we will consent to administer the
Pasteur treatment.
Records Are Authentic.
"Therefore our records prove that 102
persons in the District have actually
been bitten by mad dogs in a little more
than two years. That is a pretty high
figure and is the best argument that I !
know of in favor of the plan which the
Commissioners are about to nut into
force. There is no speculation about this.
We actually know whereof we speak.
Stray dogs can come into Washington
from large center^ of population on all
sides and it Is absolutely essential thac
the public should be protected against
them."
While the doctor was speaking a brighteyed.
dark-haired ten-year-old girl came
bounding into his office full of excitement.
"I've just taken my third treatment,"
she tsaW:- -anff it didn't hurt a bit. I
don't mind it a bit now."
"There's an instance," said the doctor.
"This little girl was bitten by a dog
which should have been muzzled. She
was playing in front of her home. Fortunately,
the animal was killed. It was
unquestionably afflicted with rabies and
this child will be saved from a horrible
death because she came here in time.
The danger is ever present and the best
way to offset it is to muzzle the dogs."
I
Dozen Persons Waiting.
Out in the waiting room more than a
dozen persons were awaiting treatment.
There were several children, a nervous
middle-aged woman who was being
soothed by licr husband, and four firemen
from truck No. fi, who were bitten
by a dog afflicted with rabies July 23 and
W'ho are making a daily pilgrimage to
the laboratory.
An interesting series of experiments
is now being conducted at the laboratory
with the idea in mind of demonstrating
the efficacy of the serum treatment
devised by Dr. Marie of the Pasteur
Institute in Paris for cases in
which recourse to the Pasteur treatment
is not had within a comparatively
short number of clays after inoculation.
It is deemed best that persons bitten
by a known mad dog should begin
treatment within two or three days
after the bite, but there are many persons
who through carelessness or a
lack of knowledge of the consequences
of such a bite do not present themselves
for treatment for a much longer
period after inoculation.
Obtaining the New Serum.
The serum which Dr. Marie discovered
was obtained by repeatfdly inoculating
sheep or ponies with the dried spinal
cords or brains of rabbits afflicted with
rabies, in the same manner ttiat human
beings are now inoculated while undergoing
the regular pasteur treatment. The
serum is drawn off from the blood of
these sheep or ponies, and when inoculated
into the hnman system, is claimed
by the French scientist, to have the effect
of delaying the beginning of the period
[ of incubation, thus permitting the regular
I treatment to lie undertaken with the
same good results as if it had been
! commenced within a few days after the
bite.
Before using this serum at the hygienic
laboratory or recommending its
use throughc ut the country it was deemed
advisable to try it out on animals, in an
endeavor to demonstrate the correctness
I of the French scientist's claims. The
| serutn has been pr> duced here under the
| direction cf Dr. A. M. Stimson, and it
| is now being used on guinea pigs and
I rabbits which have been inoculated with i
rabies. If it sliou'd be demonstrated j
i that the serum is efficacious it w.ll ue j
used m human beings in spec al cases ;
in conjunction with the regular treatment.
i
Indorses Dog Law.
Two cases of animals with rabies were 1
reported from the bureau of animal industry
today, one being a cat of S. ilc- j
Comas Hawken of Wisconsin avenue, :
which bit Mr. Hawken's child July .'In,
and the other being a spotted bull ter- j
rier belonging to Mrs. Elizabeth Jon? s.
i 115 S street northwest, which had bit- '
ten no one. as far as is known.
Instead of sentiment for a change from
the or.e year muzzling order to a shorter
period. Dr. Woodward said this morning
that he would be in favor of muzzling
dogs forever. He believes that it is the
one safe method of preventing rabies. ;
Leather Muzzles Not Effective.
Now that the muzzling order is to be
issued, the District building is Leing boni- ;
barded with letters and queries as to'
the styles of muzzles. This is the latest
on the muzzling question from Hie health
officer:
"If any such thing as an effective
substantial, humane, ail-leather muzzle
exists, 1 have never seen it. \j,, "7
leather muzzles are simply blurry designed
to bunco the poundmaster' The
few that really prevent the dog fro,
biting or snapping are brutal. some
hybrid muzzles are made, half le?th^
and half wire. These are somewhat
more efficient than the all leather mil,
zles, but not a* efficient as the all-wire
muzzles. All-wire muzzles are the only
kind, it seems to me, that meet the requirements
of the law.
"Dogs ineffectually muzzled will be
impounded as though they were not
muzzled at all. The owners of such
dogs will be prosecuted for failure to
muzzle them in the manner required by
law."
Some idea of what the pound is doing
these days can be gleaned from the fact
that in the month of July 781 eats and
dogs were destroyed there. Only thirty-one
dogs out of the 531 that were
taken in were redeemed, the rest were
all killed. No one redeemed any of the
249 cats that were gathered in.

AVIATOR BADLY HURT
AS MONOPLANE DROPS
Dr. H. Walden Falls Fifty Feet
While Testing New Stability
Device. '
i
NEW YORK. August Dr. H. Walden,
an amateur aviator, was seriously
injured today at Garden City, L. I., while
testing: a new monoplane. Dr. Walden
' had been encircling the aviation field for
half an hour when something went wrong
with the craft and it dropped fifty feet
to the ground like a plummet.
The physician was unconscious when
removed from the wrecked monoplane
and was hurried to a hospital. It is
believed that he is internally injured.
Dr. Walden has been experimenting witli
a new stability device and was trying it j
out on a monoplane, which does not glide i
as far as a biplane when the motor power !
ceases.
Many Bones Broken.
When the surgeons examined Dr.
' Walden they found that his collar bone
t was broken, his left arm fractured, his
right wrist broken, his left leg fractured
; and his right ankle broken. Dr. Walden
has taken great interest in aviation for
months past and has been an almost
, daily visitor to the aviation field here.
About a month ago he brought his mono
| plane here and began preparing for
| flights.
Experienced aviators told him it was
not properly designed and warned him lie
would get hurt if he attempted to fly, hut ;
he smilingly answered that he would fly
safely.

(
CHICAGO. III., August 3.?Federal 1
grand jury investigation into tlie recent i
"corner" iti July wheat will be started
w ithin a few days in an effort to deter- j,
mine whether the alleged manipulators .
of the deal violated the Sherman anti- t
trust law. '
\V. S. Kenyon. assistant to Attorney '
General Wickersham, plans to summon
enough witnesses before the present body
to learn whether there are grounds for a I
complete inquiry. Whatever is disclosed
in this preliminary investigation will be
turned over to the succeeding grand jury
for definite action.
Bound to Go Over.
"The present grand jury has too much
work Derore it. to enter upon an extenuea
investigation of the so-called 'wheat
poo!,' " Mr. Kenyon said yesterday. "It
is probable that a few witnesses may be
examined to determine whether there is
any sufficient basis for an investigation
of the same, and, if so determined, the
investigation, 1 assume, will be made by
a subsequent grand jury."
Government agents have been working
for a week rounding up witnesses who 1
are to appear before the grand jury in 1
the next few days. The witnesses will i
be examined as to methods used by the ,
alleged manipulators of the July market. J
icesults in Large Profits. t
In the July wheat deal the Peavey 1
Grain Company was operating, it is be- '
lieved, for Theodore H. Waterman of '
New York. The transactions covered a '
period of several months. Three millions i
to five millions of bushels were bought
by the company at !>.'! cents or under a .
bushel in May and the tlrst part of June. e
Xo efforts were made to boost the price '
on the shorts. At the expiration of the
July future the deals were closed, and
the buyers realized a large profit on their
transactions.

Health Department Effort to
Combat Infant Paralysis.
FIVE NEW CASES REPORTED
Spraying of Month and Nose Proposed
as Quarantine Measure.
DR. JAMES D. MORGAN'S VIEWS
Writes Star From Atlantic City Disease
Is Non-Contagious, But
Slightly Infectious.
Beginning with today an effort will
be made by the health department to
establish some sort of quarantine, or,
at least, to isolate cases of Infantile
paralysis, so that if the disease is
really communicable the communication
with others shall be cut off. One
of the inspectors told a Star reporter
this morning that he had not seen a
single Ase where any attempt toward
isolation had been made.
It is believed in the health department
that spraying of the mouth and
nose will tend toward disinfection, and
that this should be done as a quarantine
measure. However, this Is one of
the leaps in the dark that are being
taken with this present outbreak of
the malady. It is freely stated by
the inspectors and others of the medical
staff that there is nothing certain
about the spraying as a preventive
against communication of the germ.
Five more cases of the disease were reported
at the health office today. They
were scattered over a wide area. In discussing
them two physicians held widely
divergent views on the subject. One said
that in his experience badly nourished
children ran the greater risk from the
disease and that well nourished children
rarely caught it. The other man said
his experience showed that the malady
was no respecter of nourishment, that it
attacked the well fed child as well as the
less fortunate.
While many physicians and scientists
seem to he at differences concerning the
disease. Dr. James Dudley Morgan, who
Is now in Atlantic City, holds positive
views about the matter, which he sets
forth in a letter to The Star.
Dr. Morgan's Views.
"It will take three months to overcome
the dread and apprehension of parents
in returning to Washington with their
rhildren on account of the fear of contracting
infantile paralysis or, as it is
known professionally, acute anterior
poliomyelitis," tye says. "It should be
remembered that there are always in
every large city a few sporadic cases of
infantile paralysis, and to impress the
public mind with the idea that the disease
is a scourge for which we should
give up friends, home and city is, to my
thinking, altogether wrong.
"A New York paper has a special from
Washington today (August II) telling of
(he widespread progress of the disease
n Washington, and stating there are. .KM)
2ases on hand. Now this may be most
Harming, especially to the lay mind, and
what has instigated me to write you is
to say that two families now at Atlantic
City have consulted me on the advisability
of changing their plans about returning
home.
"The disease has for many years been
?onsidered microbic, and having a special
susceptibility for tht motor roots of the
spinal cord. It is non-contagious, hut
slightly infectious, and at Garfield Hospital,
where we treat the disease, we have
lever had a spread or a new case to develop."

SENATOR A. H. CUMMINS.
DES MOINES, Iowa. August r..?"Harmony
is like the poet, it is horn, not
made," said United States Senator Cummins,
temporary chairman of the Iowa
state republican convention, in beginning
his address tndnv "If It i? atnenw im nf?
will speedily hoar Its sweet sounds; hut
if it is not here, the effort to create it with
deceitful protestations and false phrases
will end in miserable failure There is
more discord in the. suppression of honest
conviction than in the open, candid expression
of opposing views."
Senator Cummins at considerable length
defended the attitude of the "insurgent"
republicans in Congress, charged that the
tariff law was not a fulfillment of party
pledges, declared that the railroad hill as
passed was better than the one submitted
to' Congress by the Attorney General,
pointed out how the postal savings bank
law should be amended and described the
ends sought in conservation of national
resources. But lie protested loyalty to hs*
party and contended that no hope could
be entertained of better results from democratic
rule. These are some of his ringing
sentences:
Rank and File of One Mind.
"At heart tlie rank and file of the party
are of one mind, and when the clouds of
prejudice, misunderstanding and misinformation
lift there will he a better and
truer vision of the Impending issues and
important question*;.
"The republican party has a past full
of wise administration and high accomplishment,
and every citizen who loves
the flag must lie proud of his country's
career during the period of our supremacy.
It is the height of folly, however.
to assert that we have done everything
well, or left nothing undone.
"The republican party was not horn to
make men rich, it was born to make men
free. It cannot survive upon the feasts
of millionaires, it must live at the plain
table of common men.
"Full employment for everybody*, fair
distribution to everybody*, protection for
the weak and a check upon the strong these
ought to be the watchwords of the
party. The 'square deal' is now, as always,
the noblest expression of governmental
purposes:.
"Wealth is fighting hard for an undue
share of the profits of labor. Great wealth,
combined wealth, cororate wealth is pressing
small wealth and individual wealth t<?
the wall with weapons that modern industrialism
should no more tolerate than
modern warfare tolerates* poisoned bullets.
"This then, is our problem: first to so
regulate public utility companies that
good service will he rendered for a reasonable
charge, and that neither shipper
nor locality* shall suffer the injustice of
discrimination.
"Rights of property* must he fully protected
and the profits of capital must he
generously recognized, for both are essen

The Issue in the Party.
"It is net my purpose," said Senator
Cummins, "to define at tills point just
what the issue between republicans lias
been, and is, not only In Iowa, but
throughout the length and breadth of the
country. It is sufficient for the present
to say that it relates wholly to thosi
questions which concern the control, regulation
and restriction of the powers and
practices of combined or concentrate 1
wealth. Or, to phrase it again?to the
undue and disproportionate share which
corporate capital is able to wring from
lie protits of industry, and the injustice
it is able to inflict upon helpless individuals
and defenseless communities.
"In dealAfig with these problems the
members ot our party have ranged themselves
along the whole streteh of economic
thought and governmental action?
from the hopeless anil retreating reactionary
to the extreme and visionary
radical. The rear division of this long
line, with all its varying shades of political
doctrine, has come to be known as
the standpatters: while the other, witn
-ome diversity of opinion upon specific
questions, marches forward under the
lame of the progressives.
"It is probably true that some of the
progressives want to go too fast and do
on much. It is certainly true that there
ire many of the standpatters who want
either to go back or do nothing at allAssuming
that the divisions of the party
ire equally honest, it is obvious that t"e

hough it is to be hoped that it is but

"I recur in this unparalleled situation to
he calm and optimistic philosophy or
\braham Lincoln, who, in the epochal
lebate of 1.858, after quoting the maxim
A house divided against itself cannot

" I believe this government cannot enlure
permanently half slave and liaif
ree. I do not expect the union to be dissolved.
I do not expect the house to fall,
jut I do expect it will cease to be divided.
It will become all one thing or
ill the other.'
