WOULD ACCEPT RESIGNATION
If presented to Taft Is Belief, of Close
AMsers Situation Discussed at
Beverly Ballinger's' ' f
Denial. :
iEeverly, Mass., Aug. 2.There was
increasing evidence here today that
the recent bombardment of the Presi
dent with letters from prominent .Re
publican leaders in all parts of the
country, protesting that Secretary of
the Interior Ballinger was, proving an
embarrassment In the laying of plans
for the coming Congressional cam
paign is beginning to have an effect,
if not upon the President himself, at
least upon the advisers who are clos
est to him. - '-
No attempt was made. today to de
ny the reports that Senator Crane at
the very outset of his political pil
grimage in the West had probably
suggested to Secretary Ballinger; at
Minneapolis yesterday that hjs duty
to the party might require ' that he
sacrifice his place In the cabinet All
that Secretary Norton would say after
having considered the matter, nearly
all day, was that it would be neces
sary to ask Senator . Crane. ' ' :
The statement was reiterated, how
ever, that President Taft would not
so much as lift his little finger if so
by doing he could secure the retire
ment of Secretary Ballinger as head
of the Interior Department. , - -
In addition to the letters received
the President has heard verbally from
i number of the party leaders -regard-,
tag the sentiment toward ; Secretary
Ballinger. .They have talked frankly
lith Mr. Taft on the subject, it is
.julrf anH whHto. thAV. tiii vf-ftcrPAfl with
he Presirlefir'airparently in ' his posi l
tion that nothing has been proved
against Secretary Ballinger; they have
put the matter purely on a party ba
sis and have said . that the campuign
would be much .easier with the Bal
linger issue eliminated. The leaders
have declared that the fight is going
to be a hard one at best-and while
they feel sorry for Mr. Ballinger, they
regard his prase ce in the cabinet as
a handicap! President Taft was frank
ly told a few days ago that the jmove
ment behind James R. Garfield la
' Ohio, and the votes cast for- him in
the -State convention were a protest
against Secretary Ballinger. The Ohio
leaders recognize the strength of this
movement by; making many platform
concessions to the GarfieldSving of the
party. ...
There was no disposition in Bever
ly today to. treat the meeting of Sena
tor Crane and Secretary Ballinger in
Minneapolis yesterday as "accidental."
It was clearly intimated, . however,
that whatever move was being made
against Secretary Ballinger had Its in
ception and being with the active par
ty leaders and not with President Taft
The President it can be positively stat
ed, will never ask Mr. Ballinger to re
sign. - ' . , I'
ll the Secretary should feel called
upon to resign, however, there is saM
to be little doubt that the resignation
would be accepted. , "
Ballinger's Denial. -
Chicago, Aug. 2. Secretary Ballin
ger. of the Interior Department, today
denied that his conference yesterday
w'h Senator Crane in Minneapolis re
lated to, or would be followed by his
resignation. He said the' matter dis
cussed was not even of direct interest
to him. He denounced his foes In
8trot'K laneuage and said he intended
to ignore them entirely.
His denial was issued after reading
the despatches from Beverly which in
dicated that Senator Crane's mission
to the West was to carry the hint that
JIr Hallinger would aid the party In
forthcoming elections by withdrawing
at thu time. . ' .
"There's no resignation on the card;
1 fan tell you," was Mr. Ballinger's
rppiy to this.
Continuing, he said: "I simply am
n my way to the coast for a little
rpK': some of them want m to- take
'rest permanent, but it will not be
Jo long as President Taft Is satisfied.

ed by President Hays for the railroads

The agreement follows: "The com

Struck on Dangerous Resf In Bering
Sea Resulting in Complete Loss
Capt. D. P. Foley Informs
the Department.
Washington, Aug. 2. The first se
rious wreck of a revenue cutter since
the Gallatin was driven on a rock in
Boston harbor during a . heavy snow
storm 18 . years ago. became known
today when official advices , reported
that the Perry, carrying half a hun
dred . offlqers-'and men,-had run;. on -t a
dangerous reef, inhering -Sea and 'was
a complete Joss"- - .n.
No lives were lost and ' the - men
have been distributed. among the other
craft that guard the sealing herds, and
perform other duties in those North
ern waters.
The Perry is one of the oldest of
the 46 vessels of the ref enue cutter
service and its loss leaves only the
Manning and the Tacoma on patrol
duty around the Pribilof Islands. The
Rush and the Bear, however, are cruis
ing in Bering Sea on other,- duties
than the patrol.
A single dispatch reporting the loss
of the cutter which took place July
26th, .was very brief and gave few
details.
News of the loss of the Perry was
telegraphed to the Treasury Depart
ment by Captain D. P. Foley, the se
nior "officer of the Bering Sea fleet
In his dispatch received today he im
ported that the yesseL filled .with wa
ter and that there were no wrecking
annlianres in the neiehborhood.
f!antain Foley visited the wreck, or
dered her strapped'and abandoned and
her complement distributed to other
vessels. , The Perry was commanaea
by Captain Haake, and carried 50, of
ficers and men. '
Dispatches concerning the accident
were sent from the revenue cutter
Tacoma by way of . Nome, Alaska.
The scene of the wreck Is an ex
tremely dangerous locality as a - reet
projects about one and a half miles
off shore and around this Island
whirls, a swift current , of from two
to four miles an hour, so variable in
direction that it is impossible to prop
erly calculate it. The Perry .was, en
gaged in patrolling the islands to pro
tect the seal herds and prevent raids
by Japanese poachers. , ; ;
Capt. D. P. Foley, commander of
the Bering Sea fleet, was promoted
to senior captain in the Revepue Cut
ter Service, while in command of the
revenue cutter Seminoler stationedxat
this port. He has relatives in , Wil
mington and interest will be manifest
ed here in the loss of the revenue cut

Come to Rescue of Accused
Murderer With Means to
Defend Him.
DEW DELIVERS THE MESSAGE
London Solicitor Agrees to Undertake
' His Defense Scene in Quebec
Jdl Many Believe Miss
Lenevo in Innocent.
Quebec, Aug. 2. rDr. 'Haw!ey H
Crippen has friends In London who
believe he did not slay his wife, Belle
Elmorer and they are willing to pay
for a lawyer to defend him when he Is
tried., there for murder. He received
proof of this tonight when his Jailer
handed him the following cablegram;
from a London solicitor:
"Dr. H H. Crippen, care of Inspector
Dew, Quebec:
j "Your friends desire me to defend
you and will pay all neccessary expen
ses. .Will undertake your defense, bull
you must promise to keep absolute
silenee and answer no questions and
don't resist extradition.
"Reply confirming, as good deal
must be done at once.
(Signed) ARTHUR NEWTON,
"Solicitor;, London."
This unexpected message brought to
the accused dentist in his lonely cell
the first gleam of hope since his arrest
Sunday on the steamer Montrose with
his companion in flight. Ethel Clare
"Leneve. ,
And by coincidence the bearer of
these good tidings was Inspector Dew,
"of Scotland Yard, who on Sunday
Swiftlv crushed the fnritlvo's hnnog nf
hescape. v
f Whether Crippen has accepted the
proffered assistance of these unknown
friends or. has refused it ia the same
.colorless; manner'itn which . hennas
met an advances, couia not Qe learned
tonight " j -r4. rA
sThus the question arises whether
the offer of today maj ' explain the
Seemingly unconcerned attitude of Dr;
Crippen since his arrest. Did he have
assurances to this effect before he
broke his "gentleman's agreement"
with Inspector Dew in London and
fled? The Identity of. the friends whd
volunteered their funds in his behalf
could not be ascertained here tonight
and nothing is knownV about the solici
tor who signed the cablegram.
Judging from his behavior since he
was arrested Crippen did not need the
warning to remain silent. A . single"
tnonosyllabalic negative to his pailers
Inquiry whether he wished to give out
any public .statement was the only
message that come from him . today
tor the outside world. Reading in his
Cell or silently . pacing the corridors,
where he is allowed to exercise for
part of the day, Crippen -shows a de
sire for little except to be let alone.
Today he wanted something to read
and when asked his choice he said for
one thing he would like a 'bible. He
received the book with other litera
ture. The attitude of Miss Leneve is un
like the man's. The jail matron and
the women of the household of Chief
McCarthy, where she spent part of the
day yesterday, says she is not averse
to conversation, but she declines to
Say anything regarding the crime with
which she is charged jointly with Crip
pen, or of their wanderings together
through Europe. Many of those who
have 'come Into contact with the girl
do not hesitate to say they believe she
knew nothing of the norrible end of
Belle Elmore when she fled with Dr.
Crippen.
' As the case now stands the only evi
dence in the hands of the police that
may be constructed as hostile to Crip
pen is the discovery of the diamond
rings and the brooch the police took
from him on ttfe steamer. These, they
say, belonged to his wife. ,
Woman -Make Depositions.
London, Aug. 2. Fifteen persons,
for the most part women,' who will be
called as witnesses at the trial of Dr.
Crippen, appeared ' before . the ; Bow
street magistrate at a private hearing
today for the purpose of making depo
sitions, to facilitate the proceedings
in Canada. Paul Martinetti, and his
wife who dined with the Crippens at
their Invitation on the evening of Jan
uary 31, the night on which Mrs. Crip
pen is said to nave disappeared, were
among those who , gave testimony to
day. The documents which were pre
pared and the other papers connected
with the extradition of the couple from
Quebec will . be carried by Sergeant
Mitchell, who will sail on the steamer
Lake" Manitoba on Thursday.
Scotland Yard officials said today
that the warrants, of arrest charge
both Dr. Crippen and Ethel Leneve
with- murder. They .must - therefore
be 'charged together - and will return
to London 'on thesame steamer.
