I (iE.N GIRL TELLS STORY Ethel Leneve Admits She Was to Marry Crippen. ONLY AWAITED DIVORCE Belle Elmore Was Espected lo -loIc With Another Man, leaving Way Clear for StenoRrapher to Become Doctor's Wife. ' LNTON. Sept. 19. Something of what Ethel Clare Leneve felt as she awaited the fulfillment of Dr. Hawley Crippen s promise to make her his wife, was re vealed at today's session of the Inquest Into the death of Belle Elmore for the murder of whom the doctor and his typist are Jointly charged. In her distress Miss Leneve confided In her landlady. Mrs. Jacksun. and the story that the Utter told on the witness stand rivaled the most sensational evidence Introduced at the preliminary trial. Mrs. Jackson said that the accused girl gave up the room which she had occupied at the home of the wltneas on March IS, explaining that she was leaving to be married to Dr. Crippen. . I ntil the first week In February. Miss( Leneve had slept regularly at Mrs. Jack son's. After that she stopped at the nome only occasionally. She said she spent the other nlghta at the home of friends. On one occasion. Miss Leneve mentioned having been at the Hllldrop Crescent home of the Crlppens'. early in February, to help the doctor In a search for a bank book which showed an ac count of $1000. She added that a dia mond tiara and rings had been found In the house and that the doctor had raised ISSO on these. Girl Show s Great Agitation. . About the middle of February, the wit ness said. Miss Leneve appeared miser able and depressed. Such was her state that Mrs. Jackson followed the girl to her room, to learn. If possible, the source of her trouble. Miss Leneve. the wit ness said, was In a terrifying state of agitation. Her eyes seemed fairly start ing out of her head. The landlady In sisted on an explanation, telling the girl she must have something awful on her mind to be In such a condition. The witness said that the other replied: Would you be surprised If I told you that It was the doctor and Miss Elmore? He was the cause of my trouble when you first knew me. She Is his wife, and when I see them so away together It makes me realise my position as to what she Is and what I am." Mrs. Jackson asked: "What Is the use of you worrying about another woman's husband?" To this Miss Leneve answered: "Mlas Elmore has been threatening to go sway with another man. Dr. Crippen has been waiting for her to do so, when he would divorce her." Solicitor Newton, who Is looking out for the Interests of Crippen and Miss Leneve. closely cross-examined Mrs. Jackson, suggesting that her lodger'a ex citement was. due to the landlady having resurrected a trouble which the girl ex perienced during her earlier association with Crippen. but the witness maintained the correctness of her evidence as given. Body That of Woman. Professor Pepper, the pathologist, re peated the testimony whl!n he had given at the trial In the Bow-Street Court. In response to questions by the Coroner, he said: "I have formed a very strong opinion that the parts were those of a female. If I take the hair discovered Into consider ation there Is a strong presumption, al most conclusive evidence, that the parts were those of a woman." A Juror was very anxious to know why a Scotland Yard man had allowed the doctor to get away once he had fallen under suspicion. Dew responded that he hsd a perfect answer to the attacks that had been made upon him. and he would like to reply to the question, but the Cor- AXT BELOW, GK5ERAL WILLIAM ERAL DAMEL SICKLE. oner, would not permit him to do so, fle clsrtn'g that the subject of Crlppen's easy flight was "outside the scope of the present Inquiry." The Inquest was then adjourned until September !6. ' POLICEMEN TURN IN STARS Killing of Man Results in . Forced Ileelffnation of Ke Officers. KELSO. Wash.. Sept. 19. Special.)

Jesuits Are Banished. LISBON. Sept. 19. It is believed King Manuel's appointment of .16 peers, all supporters of the present Liberal Cabinet, will give enough new strength to the government to avoid the ne cessity of a dissolution of Parliament and new elections, which. the Republi cans declare would mean revolution. Dr. Alpclma. chief of 'the Progres sive dissidents, recently told His Ma jesty that unless he insisted on the Liberal governments enforcing political and financial reforms, the monarchy was doomed and a Republic was Inev itable. The government continues Its cam paign against the Jesuits, and Is pro ceeding with the expulsion of other religious orders which re-entered Port ugal after the Issuance of the decree of 1901. but which are not devoted to the work of charity or teaching as pro vided In the decree. The newspapers say that the monks are fleeing to the mountains for refuge. WOMEN IN HARD STRUGGLE England's Chain-Makers Striving to Better Conditions. BIRMINGHAM. Sept. 24. (Special.) Just how hard the struggle Is some times, between capital and labor. Is shown by the strike of the women chalnmakers of Cradley Heath. Etir lang's most crying Industrial scandal. I When the Trades Boards Act was passed last year toflx the rate of pay for such sweated trades as this, the employers got the women to contract out; that Is. to sign away any- bene fits under the act, by presenting to them documents they didn't under stand. So still there are 500 women, mothers most of them, slaving at the hardest labor of forging chains, for not more than a dollar a week, made up of six 14-hour days. It Is an eye-opener to visit this cursed district, where women toll harder than men. Now they are strug gling to gain five cents an hour, an Increase of 150 per cent. It will brlntr them In about $2.65 a week. If they win. Sickly children are seen In numbers round these home forges, and even the mere tots are pressed Into the labor. Many of the women are not trade unionists, because they have never teen able to afford even four cents a week as subscription to the union. Their fight for existence Is one of the worst that haa ever stained modern industrialism Distinguished Head of Chinese Navy Arrives in BaV City Very III. SHIPYARDS TO BE SEEN Imperial Visitor to Be Shown Big Shipbuilding Plants or Atlantic Seaboard by Charles Schwab, Steel Magnate. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 19. (Special.) Prince Teal Hsun arrived today on the steamer Manchuria and was given a rousing reception, which would have warmed his heart had he not been suf fering from incipient pneumonia, which compelled him to ride In a closed car riage In the parade through the streets and go to bed as soon as the procession reached his hotel. As he Is a large man of full habits, the doctors fear the results of pneumonia may be serious. The Prince caught a severe cold on the steamer, and It was aggravated by try ing weather. His suite tonight fears that the voyage has proved too much for his strength and that he may be detained here by Illness. ... . . Mark of Royally Worn. ' Prince Tsal Is a fine-looking man and wears a globular ruby half as large as sn egg. which is the distinctive mark" of Chinese royalty. The Prince is good natured and affable, but he speaks no English. He IS accompanied by Secre tary Chow. Under Secretary of State, who speaks English fluently, and by a ranking Admiral of. the Chinese Navy, five naval experts anil big retinue of Chinese no bles and dignitaries. Not In many years has so distln tingutshed a party of Orientals visited this country In a body. Many of the party wear the peacock feather, and all are marked as nobles by coral buttons on their hats. High Officials Meet Prince. The Prince was met " here on the Army tug Sloeum by a party of dis tinguished officials. ' The receiving party consisted of Charles M. Schwab, Rear-Admiral Thomas S. Phelps, Jr., Rear-Admiral John B. Mlltftn and Lieutenant-Commander C. V. Olllis, I. S. N.. Brigadier-General Tasker H. Bliss and Captain Frank Ferguson. U. S.. A.. Consul-General .L. I. Wing Yew, Sec retary Tung Kwal. and other promi nent Chinese residents. . ' At the transport dock the party was met by a delegation of city officials and local dignitaries. An escort consisting of a batalllon of Coast Artillery, a battalion of Na val apprentices, a company of mounted police, a . company of Chinese cadets, and a local boys' band formed a guard of honor to the St. Francis Hotel. , After the Prince and his royal party had retired to their section of the hotel, where a large suite of It root had been set apart for their use. Secretary Chow, who- was deputized to speak for his imperial highness, said: Prince Brings Good Will. "The Prince has come to this country to convey the good will of the Emperor and the Chinese people to President Taft and the American people. In cidentally, he will visit- the shipbuild ing plants of this country, as he has of other c6untrles. As president of the Naval Board, he Is naturally Interested In marine construction. He will be ac companied on his tours of Inspection by the Admiral and five naval experts that are In the party. They are chiefs in the various departments of ordance, navigation, armor, construction, etc. "The Prince had Intended to remain longer In the country, but on account of delays will be here but 18 days and will have to cancel some of his plans. Nor is his strength as great as we wished. He has had a severe cold dur ing the voyage and has been on the verge of pneumonia. He dares not sub ject himself to any draught and Is now under a physician's care, but If nothing miscarries we expect to leave here to morrow morning, going on to New York and Washington and Inspecting the shipbuilding and armor-manufacturing plants of the Eastern states." Japan to eB Visited. "Returning to this coast the party will sail from here for Japan on the next voyage of the Chlo Maru. We have made arrangements with the Japanese government to have the Prince escorted through the shlp-build-Ing yards of Japan. As he was in England last year the completion of this tour will have shown him the best In marine construction In the three countries of the world that excel in that art. "China has no present plans for naval expansion. Two months ago we ordered one cruiser built at New port News, but this is the extent of our building for the present. The finances of China will not permit of great naval expansion at present, but we are gathering Information and data that may be used in furthering any further plans of naval construction that may be decided upon." Secretary Chow denied unqualifiedly that the Prince was here to place or ders for battleships, maintains that the trip was one of good feeling and friendliness toward this country and merely to observe the progress of ma rine architecture as it had developed in the United States. He spoke freely and without reserve and was at great pains to answer question clearly and make 'the object of the party's visit understood. The Chinese quarter is gaily deco rated In honor of the imperial visitor and a three-day festival will be held to commemorate his visit. .

How it feels to be shot in the neck and the thoughts that pass through the mind of a man sorely wounded are told y Mayor Wil liam J. Gaynor in a letter to his sister. Miss Mary E. Gaynor. of Utlca, N. Y.. which Is printed this afternoon In the Evening Post. The first Impression that came to him as he was shot on the deck of the steamship Wilhelm der Grosse. the Mayor says, was of a terrible -metallic roaring In his head that seemed about to burst it open, and for the moment he was struck entirely blind. When he became conscious that he was shot and choking, he tried to swallow the blood in his throat so that those around him would not see it. Though believing at first, until he found that he could breathe through his nose that he would strangle to death, he kept thinking all the time what was best to do. Mayor Gaynor wrote: "I was standing on the deck talking with Commissioners Thompson, Lederle and Edwards, Corporation Counsel Watson, my secretary, Mr. Robert Adamson. and several friends who had come aboard to see me off. Mr. Montt, President of Chile, and Mrs. Montt had. Just passed by and I had spoken a few words with them. Metallic Hoar Sickens. "Mr. Adamson pointed out that the ship was dressed with flags for me, but I said I did not think it could be for me. I heard a terrible metallic roar In my head. It filled my head, which seemed as though It would burst open. It swelled to the highest pitch and then fell and then rose again and so alternated until it subsided Into a continuous buxx. It was sickening, but my stomach did not give way. I was meanwhile entirely sightless. "I do not think I fell, for when I became conscious I was on my feet. I suppose they saved me from falling, and they were supporting me. My sight gradually returned so that after a while I could see the deck and the out lines of the crowd around me.- I be came conscious that I was choking. The blood was coming from my mouth and I tried all I could to swallow It so those around me would not see it. But I found I could not swallow and knew my throat was hurt.

"Though the thing had not entered my head that morning, 1 was not sur prised when I realized that I was shot.

"Such Journalism is, of course, in ab solute defiance of the criminal law, and It did enter my mind publicly to call on the grand Juries and the District At torney to protect me from it, but I was weak and feared people would say I was thin-skinned. But the time is at hand when these journalistic scoun drels have got to stop or get out, and I am ready now to do my share to that end. They are absolutely without souls. If decent people would refuse to look at such newspapers, the thing would right Itself at once. The journalism of New York has been dragged to the low est depth of degradation.
