Then are oN~ yet to he elected, j _ all from upstate, however, where the r old guard is strong. f The result in New York county was about what was expected.

The n old guard carried Queens county very o easily. From row on there will be a vicious t struggle between the two factions for i 'A legates from the up-state counties. The T Roosevelt people, even if they should fail f to secure an apparent majority in advance c ?f the convention, will go into the con- c \ ci it ion enthusiastically, counting upon t t < possibility of the colonel stampeding s t assembly by bis personality and win- t ! r.g over to his side wavering delegate-- v Statements by the Leaders. c g The plain people are surely getting some r interesting statements and arguments from ihe leaders of the contending republican factions. There is Lloyd Griscom. the SFtoreerelt captain, who insists that his ^ /action is laboring, as he says in a state- e jnent today, "for clean and" decent party b tnanagement." All the political virtues 0 aire assumed by this faction, and by im- ^ fdtcation all who are opposed to them are amnions of the evil one. ' t But these claims do not feaze William g Barnes, the militant leader of the old , fruard, Who hardly lets a day pass without j taking a whack at the colonel. In the * course of his statement today Mr. Barnes iaya In part: "It Mr. Roosevelt Is temporary chairman, and If the convention adopts the reJ-ort of a radical committee on resolu- ? tions, New York will place herself along- ' Side of Kansas and Iov\a. and the con- ? servatlve element of the republican party, J] which for years has been its backbone. , will be Invited to the rear, and the new rationalism, coupled with the Bryanite pronouncement against the decisions of the Supreme Court, will take its place. ' Some"of the men who are urging Mr. r Roosevelt's candidacy for temporary chairman of the convention against Vice Jh.s-.-ient Sherman have little realization . t>f th? rising tide of popular disapproval which Mr Roosevelt's speeches in the v e*? have caused.

BADEX-BADEX, September 14.?If anything: could discourage that intrepid apostle of aerostatics. Count Zeppelin ;t would appear to have been furnished today, when the Zeppelin VI. the latest model of his aerial invention, was torn by the explosion of one of the three motors located iti the stern gondola. Three of the airship's crew were seriously inured. The accident happened as the dirigi.! hie was being slowly worked into bet shed here. The defective motor had Jbeen operating as usual, when suddenly the crew were whirled from their posts in the rear gondola as the craft trernhlpd flnH 1 urchpil trac q elm rn report, a flash of flames and in a moment the immense fabric of silk canvas was afire. The crew, hardly realizing what had happened, tumbled over the sides of the airship, barely escaping with their lives. The fire spread so rapidly that the shed was soon destroyed. This is the fifth serious accident which has befallen the Zeppelin dirigibles, the histories of which have been brilliant but brief, and usually ending in disaster. Speediest of Her Type. The Zeppelin VI was under charter of the Passenger Airship Company, having replaced in the passenger service the recently wrecked Deutschland. She was transferred from Friedrlchshafen to this place, and after being fitted with improved propellers and other new features made a trial trip August 19. She proved to be the speediest of her type and it was announced that she would maintain a speed of thirty-five miles an hour. The dirigible was reconstructed to carry ten passengers and during the last few days had made trips to various interesting places. Many Americans were among the excursionists. Baron Rudolph Goldsomidt-Rothschild had chartered the airship for the use of a private party next Friday., He had agreed to pay for the first two hours of the excursion o nj| 'a- ?

The Zeppelin VI will be best remembered by its notable flight from Friedrichshafen to Berlin, when ft carried Count Zeppelin, the inventor, on a visit to Emperor William. The Zeppelin VI was built in 19??. Her motors and the other navigating machinery were contained in two gondola cars situated in the bow and stern, respectively. Suspended from the center of the j airship was a furnished cabin. She carj rled a crew of ten men.

Urges Tennessee Democrats to Make Up Differences and Get Busy. i KNOX VII.HE. Tenn., September 14 ? | Senator ft. 1., Taylor gave out a state1 ment last night, in which lie speaks i of general political conditions over the ' country being favorable in their outlook for democratic success at the polls ! in November. He tells of what the (m ujsrt-svi vfH nave uone in the western states, and how insurgency is on the increase in republican ranks. Then he says that there is no insurgency in the democratic ranks, except in Tennessee, and from this he launches into an appeal to the democratic factions in Tennessee to get together. He tells tiit independents that if they persist in indorsing tiie republican candidate for governor in todays convention they will put themselves outside the pale of the democratic party in state and nation. "We must not." he says, "crucify democrats on a cross of treason. To refuse to accept the overtures of the followers of Gov. Patterson would be nothing more than tiring on a flag of truce, and would mean tiie disruption of the party now, and for years to come. It would reach to the campaign of 191", and might be the entering wedge to make a perpetual split and deliver the electoral vote of 1912 to the national republican party." Senator Taylor left last night for Nashville to preach harmony to the warring factions. ASTOR TUTOR MARRIED Weds Daughter of Baron von Nordenflycht in Berlin. BERGIN.

' The selection of a successor to the j late IJoyd Bowers as solicitor general of ; ' the Department of Justice is engaging J the attention of officials and employes [ of the Department of Justice. This po- I sition is next to the Attorney General in i power, influence and salary. Mr. Bowers was a personal selection of President Taft, hut as a rule the President vests I in cabinet officers full power to choose their own subordinates, and if he fol- ! lows the rule in this case Attorney General Wickersham. w ho will arrive in i Washington the last of this \v?-ek for a stay of several weeks, will pick ids own ! solicitor general. Air. Wickersham's I control of his own department has been supreme, and if he has some one in mind capable of filling the position of ; solicitor genera! the chances are that j T hP Prpsitlpnt n-?li * 1? ? . m.i lam) me cnoice. The man. most prominently in mind for the position is W. S. Kenyon, assistant to the Attorney General and the third man in rank in the department. Mr. Kenyon succeeded Wade Ellis as the trust blister of the department. He is the man who has had charge of the indictments against the beef barons in Chicago. He is expected to reach Washington Friday. Mr. Kenyon is from Iowa andprior to coming to Washington, was a railroad attorney of wide practice. He is a man of good presence and as his work is largely before tlie Supreme Court of the Cnited States a man of many qualities is necessary. Ellis May Be Considered. Wade Ellis, who gave up the trustbreaking job of the Department of Justice to undertake the handling of the Ohio political situation, lost out in the political game in that state. At least he was removed from the head of the political machine in the state. He is engaged on special work for the Department of Justice and it is possible iiis salary in that would be greater t.ian as solicitor general. His name, however, is likely to be considered by both the Attorney General and the President. His experience in the department would make ms claims exceptionally strong. Jn the department is James A. Fowler of Tennessee, ranking assistant attorney general, and the fourth man in importance. His name will be considered for the position by the Attorney General. He is a man of quiet ways and has made little | noise as assistant attorney general, but ; he is said to have done some most eflfec-! live work Another whose* name will be considered 1 is William J. Hughes, for twenty-five years in the department and all that time in the solicitor's office. It is said of him that he is the best posted man in the I'nited States as to the practice, procedure and jurisdiction of the I'nited States Supreme Court. He lias'been retained as an assistant to the solicitor general for a quarter of a century. He, too, is such a modest, retiring man that little is known of his work outside the department. He began work in the department as a stenographer when President Taft was solicitor general many years ago. His friends would like to see him .?? <? moted to first place. He has had many offers to engage in private practice, but ' has refused these. Some on the Outside. Outside of the department there are probably many candidates. The man most prominently mentioned is Henry I,. Stimson. former 1'nited States attorney oil New York, and for several years engag- ; ed by the department as a special at- 1 torney in the sugar fraud cases. His appointment would be a good one politically. 1 it is said, and for that reason a number of wiseacres are predicting that lie will be named. Others believe that a western man will he selected by the President and Attorney I General. 1 i Monarchists Protest Election. LISBON.

GREWSOME TESTIMONY GIVEN Crippen Is Composed, Whilg Ethel Leneve Shows Distress in Courtroom. I.OXLK'N, September 14.?Testifying at the resumption today of the Crippen nun <ier trial. Prof. Augustus J. Pepper, pathologist of the I'ntversity n't J .on Jon. said that his examination had convinced him that ilte human parts found in the cellar of the Hill Drop Crescent home were severed by a hand skilled in surgery and directed by a mind that possessed a real knowledge (if anatomy. i'ndet cross-examination Prof. Popper admitted that he had been unable to establish the sex of the vi.-tini The evidence of the medical expo ts lia been awaited with eagerness--. T e famous little courtroom in Bow street was crowded to its capacity. Crippen Composed; Girl Nervous. The prisoners in the dock presented contrasting appearances. Dr. Haw-ley H. Crippen. charged at*the principal in the murder of his wife. Belle Klmore. the American actress, was seeminglj as cool and collected as ever. He li d not miss a word of the testimony and nu ffDcIv ? li i g no Muti to His; calipitor Vilhnr i i,v " ii n-pv n < J iv . - - . - ? Newton, whenever he thoi -lit he had detected a point In Ills favor. On the other hand, Ethel Clare Leneve, accused as an accessory after the fact, was wan and plainly in mental and physical distress. The police authorities had anticipated that the day would be a trying one for her. Accordingly she was attended for the first time In court hv a wardress, wdio sal close to her throughout the proceedings. Examination of Farts of Body. Prof. Pepper was the first witness called by the prosecution. At considerable length be described the examination which lie had made of the parts and set forth his conclusions. Witness said he had identified pieces of flesh as belonging to various parts of the body, except the head, hands, forearms. feet and legs below the knees. He could say that the members found were undoubtedly from a human body. No bones were discovered, nor was there any trace of genital organs. The whole viscera was present intact. The only wound was a cut In the upper part of tile windpipe. Other parts were left undisturbed by the one who did the cutting. The wav in which tlie parts had been separated convinced tlie expert that whoever was guilty of the mutilation did his work with an exactness born of familiarity with the human body. Strand of Blond Hair. Prof. Temper said lhat the hair discovered included a short strand of tair texture wrapped up in a handkerchief of the size commonly used by men. The witness identified particularly a piece of flesh, six l>y seven inches in size, as coming from the abdominal wall, and that bore a scar which, in his opinion, wa.undoubtedly left by a wound from an operation. The witness said tiiat the scar was ir. a vertical direction and more than four inches in length. It was old and might have been on the body for a year or possibly many years. The condition of the organs recovered was healthy. In his judgment they indicated a stoutish person in middle life, whose hair was dark brown where it had not been artificially bleached. Witness said he found 110 trace of the sex. Tiie parts had been buried for not less than four months and for not more than eight months. Sex Not Determina'ble. At this point Solicitor Newton took the witness in hand and asked him to be more specific in his statement as to having found "no trace of sex." The professor agreed witli counsel that it was impossible for him in any manner to determine the sex from the parts of the Itody found and examined by him. This was considered as of great importance to the defense, as it had been generally believed that, although certain organs had been purposely removed to conceal the identity of the victim, sufticieni evidence would be introduced to establish that the >iody was thai of a woman. The witness explained that he meant i.ut iiu r-nniH not identify the sex anal omically. He was closely questioned regarding the scar. Solicitor New ton tried to make out that what appeared to be a scar might be merely an overlapping of the skin. "That suggestion is fantastical," retorted the pathologist. Defense Tries to Trap Witness. Solicitor Newton suggested that a man specializing in the ear. nose and eye. like Dr. Crippen, would not necessarily be able to adroitly separate the members of a body. Prof. Pepper thought such a specialist as counsel described would have a general anatomical knowledge. Newton was keen In seeking admissions from the pathologist. Frequently he exhibited heat, w hen the witness refused to J answer "yes" or "no," without qualify- ; lag his replies. Counsel intimated that F>rs. Wall and Turnbull, experts engaged by the defense: had reached conclusions differing \ from those of Prof. Pepper In some particulars. Turning to the witness, lie said: "Your qualilications have nothing a ?r.flinching theirs. Both are eminent among their number, as you know."
