FATHER POINT. Quebec. July SL Dr.
Hawley Harvey Crlppen and Ethel Claire
Leneve. his stenographer, who fled from
tendon after the disappearance of Belle
Elmore, the doctor's wife, were arrested
here today aboard the Canadian Pacific
liner Montrose, at the command of In
spector Dew, of Scotland Yard.
The Identification of the long-sought
fugitive, by the detectives on the Eng
lish steamer which had raced across the
Atlantic ahead of the Montrose, marked
tlte culmination of one of the most sensa
tional flights in recent criminal annate.
Girl Sobs Hysterically
- ' Accompanied by Canadian : officers,
tnw boarded the vessel at 830 o'clock
thin morning and 15 minutes later both
' man and girl were locked in their state
rooms, Crlppen. broken In spirit but men
tally relieved by the relaxed tendon; the
girl, garbed In boy's clothes, sobbing
hysterically. They were no longer "Rev.
John Robinson and eon." as booked from
Antwerp on July SO.
After brief delay, the Montrose con
tinued her 160-mile journey up the river
towards Quebec, where jail awaited the
pair. Crlppen Is charged with the mur
der of an unknown woman, believed to
have been Ms- actress wife. Bel'.e Elmore.
The girl is held a an accessory. In
charge of Inspector Dew they will be
taken back to England for trial, on the
Jtnyal line steamship Royal George, leav
ing Quebec on Thursday.
' Scene Is Dramatic.
Seldom has there been a scene sur
rounding the pursuit of a criminal so
pregnant with dramatic features as that
enacted off .this little settlement this
morning. Inspector Dew had apent a
sleepless night at the Marconi operator's
aide, communicating through the fog with
the liner that bore the man and woman
lie snught. The man had lied to him In
Jyind.m and fled the city with the
jnystertea of Belle Elmore's disappearance
unsolved and a strong personal feeling
entered into the case, accentuating the
detective's desire to carry out the task
assigned him by Scotland Tard.
At 4:30 A. M. the approaching ship's
whistle was heard above the bellowing of
the Father Point fog born.
Ute a giant alarm clock It awakened
the nervous villagers and the expectant
newspapermen ,who dressed hurriedly
and waited In a driailing rain for the
liner's arrival.
Crowded Boat Goes to Ship.
Shortly after 7:30 o'clock the Montrose
pushed ber nose through the fog and at
8:15 o'clock the pilot boat Eureka set out
from shore. She carried a host of news
papermen and photographers and the
more fortunate townspeople -who were
able to crowd aboard.
But Inspector Dew wae not among
them. As a precaution, he had em
barked on the Eureka's small tender, ac
companied by Chief McCarthy, of the
Quebec police, and ex-Chief Dennis of
ths same city.
All wore the garb of pilots and over his
florid face Inspector Dew had pulled a
pilot's vleored cap to hide his features
from the man he sought. He did not
wish Crlppen to leeognize him. and take
advantage of the only avenue of escape
suicide.
Four sailors quickly rowed the tender
alongside the Montrose and Dew and
his companions stepped aboard.
Crlppen Is Suspicious.
Crlppen was standing near ths rail talk
ing with Dr. Stewart, the ship's surgeon,
and attempting to' appear calm. But
that he was nervous was Indicated by
hk furtive glances and his remark to
Dr. Stewart.

Steamer Arctic Goes North and Cap
tain Will Plant British
. Flag on Lands.
OTTAWA. Ont., July. 31. (Special.)
Balked of his life-long ambition to
make a voyage to the North Pole, Cap
tain Bernier. who sailed for the Polar
regions from Quebec a few days ago,
on the government steamer Arctic,
umler sealed- orders, has evidently
been placated by a commission from the
Canadian government to essay the
Northwest Passage.
It was Commander Robert McClure,
of H. M. S. Investigator, who, in 1S34,
sailing eastward from Behring Straits,
reached the barrier at Banks Island.
There the crew abandoned the ship
and. walking over the Ice to Beechy
Island, made the Northwest Passage
after a fashion. Bernier has hopes of
being able to work the steamer Arctic
through this Ice blockade.
Whether or not, however. Bernier
succeeds in forcing the Northwest Pas
sage, his instructions are to plant the
British flag and assert Canadian sov
ereignty over Arctic lands that he may
visit In the course of his expedition.

Vatican Offended by
Canalejas. "
RECALL OF NUNCIO EXPECTED
Rome Has Had No Official An
nouncement From Madrid.
BREACH GROWING WIDER
Papal Secretary of State, Unable to
Retaliate, to Instruct Mgr. Vico
lo Return as Soon as Pre
mier Sends Word.
ROME, July 31. The papal nuncio
at Madrid, Mgr. Vlco, has not been re
called by the Vatican, which Is await
ing the official announcement of the
recall by the Spanish government of
Marquis de OJeda, Ambassador to the
Vatican. The situation with regard to
the. rupture with Spain, therefore, re
mains practically unchanged.
Vatican Takes Offense.
The Vatican is greatly offended at
the methods adopted by Premier Cana
lejas In the recall of the Spanish Am
bassador, as the announcement was
made through the press, and neither
the papal nuncio at Madrid nor the
Vatican was notified directly.
As a consequence, the papal secre
tary of state. Cardinal Merry del Val.
has not been able to take any meas
ure of retaliation, but It Is believed
that Mgr. Vlco 'will be Instructed to
leave Madrid immediately after the
official announcement of Marquis de
OJeda' s recall Is received here.
Further Tolerance Possible
Ths opinion is held In some circles,
however, that, the Vatican will give
further proof of tolerance by permit
ting the papal nuncio to remain at
Madrid, notwithstanding the with
drawal of the Spanish Ambassador, as
was the case when the French govern
ment ordered the French Ambassador
at the V atican to return to Paris.
On that occasion the papal nuncio.
Mgr. Lorenielli, remained at Paris until
diplomatic relations were completely
broken off, and there are some who
still hope that the recall of Marquis
de OJeda Is merely temporary, his ab
sence from Rome assuming the nature
of a simple vacation, and that he will
return when an agreement has been
reached.
RUPTURE WITH POPE FORCED
Premier Canalejas Says He Tried to
Effect Harmony.
MADRID, July 31. Premier Canale
jas describes the recall of Marquis de
OJeda, the Spanish Ambassador to the
Vatican, as "an Indefinite suspension of
negotiations." The Premier today
made a statement bearing on the con
troversy between, the church and state
since the beginning of the negotia
tions. "The moment I assumed power," he
said. "I opened negotiations for a re
duction of the religious orders. The
Vatican replied, offering less than was
offered to Premier Maura. We were

COOK'S STORY DISPROVED
Party Traverses Ruth Glacier on
Snowshoes, Wades Turbulent
Streams and Mired In Quick
sandsPlans for Next Year.
BY C. B. RCSK.
Leader of Maxama Expedition to Mount
McKinley.
SEWARD, Alaska. July 31. (Spe
cial.) After one of the bitterest strug
gles In the history of mountain climb
ing, the Mazama expedition, supported
by The Portland Oregonlan and the
New York Herald, was compelled to
abandon the ascent of Mount McKinley
for this season.
The provisions of the party were ex
hausted, and a quick retreat was found
necessary to escape starvation.
On leaving Talkeetna,' May 29, the
members of the party found that their
poling boat was unfitted to carry the
supplies of the expedition up the swift
Chulltna. The outfit divided and with
an Indian boatman secured for a week
the party struggled up the treacherous
stream, wet to the skin each day. Ham
pered by rainy weather, wading ruBh
ing sloughs, sinking Into qulcsand to
the waist, rowing through rapids in
the overloaded boat, lining around the
perpendicular walls of the Chulltna
Canyon, the expedition won Its way
mile by mile until, on the afternoon of
June 10, Camp Rodney, on the Toko
sltna, was reached, with a scant sup
ply of provisions.
It rained every day. The Indians
who had agreed to bring more food
failed to come. A young caribou wan
dered Into camp and was killed by Rid
ley and added to the scant stores.
Food Supply Fails. -
A trail was cut three miles through
a tangled forest to the moraine of
Ruth Glacier. The party began relay
ing its outfit on June 22 toward the
glacier, having three packs of from 40
to 60 pounds to each man. Several
glacial rivers were crossed on foot
logs, and one liver at the glacier was
waded with the entire outfit. The low
er half of Ruth Glacier was very rough.
It took five miles of traveling to gain
one mile. The way led over the rough
boulder-strewn moraln, the broken ice
fields and rotten snow stretches. Men
with their packs often fell Into boles
and crevasses. The only foods were
pemmlcan, pea soup and Jerked cari
bou. For 17 days alcohol was the only
fuel.
Cool returned on July 1 to the base
camp because of food shortage. Camp
Independence was established on July
4, near where Dr. Cook took his al
leged photograph of the summit of
Mount McKinley. A side trip was taken
on July 5 to find this spot. The upper
part 'of the glacier was covered with
snow. There was no plant or animal
life. It was a veritable Arctic world.
Foot of Mountain Reached.
The foot of Mount McKinley was
reached after 20 days of tremendous
hardships, and Camp Morden was es
tablished on the snow In the midst of
the most sublime scenery on the globe.
The expedition was now confronted
by the great perpendicular walls of
Mount McKinley, up which it would re
quire weeks or months of exploration
to find a way. Only a few days' pro
visions remained, . and there was no
way to get more. All that could be
done was to take a lot of pictures and
reconnolter the way for a future as
cent. The weather became fine on July 13.

President Taft motored 150 miles today
to see his aunt," Miss Delia Torrey, of
MiUbury. Mrs. Taft, Master Charles
Taft, Henry W. Taft. of New York, and
Captain Archibald Butt went along, too.
Horace D. Taft, another brother of the
President, was already at Aunt Delia's
home. The President started out from
Beverly shortly after 10 o'clock this
morning, reaching Millbury Just after
1. Coming back, they left Aunt Delia's
house at 4 o'clock and at 8, the President
was back at the Evans' cottage once
more.
The luncheon at Aunt Delia's was wait
ing when the party swung down at the
gate. Aunt Delia, gray-haired, dressed In
sober black, a little bent, beside ber big
nephew, escorted him into the house.
After dinner, "Aunt Delia" took "Will"
to call on some of the neighbors. As
the two passed out of the Torrey place
arm In arm, and walked along the street,
the President could be heard chuckling
and laughing. "Aunt Delia" was as hap
py as could be.
At Worcester, on the return trip, Henry
W. Taft left the party, for- he is bound
for New York and Europe.
The President has a busy week before
him. Frank B. Kellogg,- of St. Paul, and
Governor Eberhardt, of Minnesota, will
urge the President to speak at the Na
tional conservation congress at St. Pauf
early In September.
General Leonard Wood will also be here
tomorrow.
MRS. THOMAS HAS TROUBLE
Estate Agents Cannot Find Suitable
House for Her Abroad.
LONDON, July 31. (Special.) Estate
agents who find suitable town and coun
try mansions for American millionaires
and society folk every season are rush
ing about just now to secure a residence
for Mrs. Ralph H. Thomas, until a week
or so ago, Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould.
Immediately after her marriage, in
structions were cabled to two of the lead
ing agents in London and to one tn Dub
lin, to find her a residence in either
country at any cost. In Ireland, she
would have been offered Tanderagee Cas
tle had not another American woman,
Mrs. A. D. Loney, been in negotiation for
the place.
Few family mansions are available in
the fashionable London neighborhoods
just now and it is likely Mrs. Thomas
must be satisfied with one of the luxur
ious flats which abound in Belgravia. Eng
lish country mansions are neither plenti
ful nor adaptable to the requirements of
wealthy American women.

Mystery still surrounds the whereabouts
of S. A. Blanchar, the Kerrigan Station
man, who has not been seen since he
left his home at noon last Tuesday on
what, he told his wife, was a business
errand. .
Mrs. Blanchar reported to the police
Saturday that her husband was missing
and gave the Information that he had
frequently expressed a desire to buy farm
land near Eugene. She thinks, how
ever, that he would not have started
away on euch a mission without first
notifying her of his intentions. She
fears he may have met with foul play.
, The city detectives have been searching
for the. mifeing man for the past two
days but are no nearer a solution of the
mystery than when the matter was first
brought to their notice.
Mra. Blanchar is nearly prostrated with
grief.
