confronted by the detective and told that
she was under arrest was pitiable. The
control she had fought eo hard to retain
throughout the voyage left her.

CRIME ASD CHASE STIIi WORLD
Crippen Case With Denouement One
of Most Notable In History.
The crime which had its dramatic
denouement Sunday in the arrest of Dr.
Crippen and Ethel Claire Leneve aboard
the steamer Montrose, is destined to
become one of the most notable in
criminal history. Not only the cir
cumstances of the crime, but the re
markable detective chase across the
Atlantic, with wireless telegraphy con
tributing for the first time as a de
cisive factor In detection, and with the
people of Europe and America eagerly
intent upon the quest, have combined
to make the case one of extraordinary
interest.
The circumstances of the finding of
the mangled and burned body of Belle
Elmore are of recent occurrence, the
salient features being as follows: -
Dr. Crippen and his wife, known by
the stage name of Belle Elmore, ha,l.
for the last two years, occupied a house
at 39 Hllldrop Crescent, North London.
He was an American dentist, born at
Coldwater. Mien., educated In Indi
ana and pursuing musical studies later
In Michigan, California. Ohio and New
York City. He had managed a patent
medicine business in Philadelphia and
In Columbus and had appeared as a
specialist at many other points, Detroit,
San Diego, Salt Lake City. St. Louis and
Brooklyn.
Belle Elmore Well-Known Actress.
Belle Elmore " was a well-known
vaudeville actress, about S5 years oM,
formerly of Brooklyn. She was an at-
tractive woman and an officer of the
Music Hall Artists' Guild, of London.
With the Crippen pair at Hllldrop
Crescent lived Miss Leneve, a young
typist of French birth, who served as
amanuensis to Dr. Crippen.
Mrs. Crippen disappeared from her
accustomed activities last February. To
her friends. Dr. Crippen explained that
she had gone to California. Later an
advertisement -appeared in the London
papers saying she had died in Cali
fornia. But Belle Elmore's former
actress friends in London and America
began to doubt. Their Inquiries led
to the belief that Mrs. Crippen had not
died In California and suspicions were
communicated to the police.
Mesh Surrounds Crippen.
The clews of Scotland Tard gradu
ally began to encircle Dr. Crippen
early In July. Sir Melville MacNaugh
ton. chief of the criminal investigation
department, took the matter person
ally In hand and then, for the first time,
appeared on the scene Inspector Dew.
It was Dew who subjected Crippen to
the ordeal of minute cross-examination.
The doctor finally admitted that his
wife had not gone to California, but
asserted that she had run away as a
result of family bickerings.
The suavity of Crippen led the po
lice to give conditional credit to his
statement, and they took his word of
, honor that he would remain subject to
can until nis story couia oe verinea.
This was on July 12.
Discovery Proves Ghastly.
The next day Dr. Crippen and the
pretty young typist. Miss Leneve, dis
appeared, leaving no trace of their
whereabouts. The house at Hilldrop
Crescent was hastily searched. This
time Inspector Dew and his staff ran
sacked cellar and garret. In the cel
lar a misplaced brick led to a ghastly
discovery. Beneath the floor was
found the battered body of a human
being. It had been placed In quick
lime and was burned beyond recog
nition. Even the sex was indetermin
able by the doctors at first, although
the body was finally . established as
that of a woman.
Immediately a search of almost
world-wide scope began, at first In
London and England and then through
France and Continental points, and
finally to America. Many false clews
were followed to a fruitless end. Dr.
Crippen and his typist appeared to have
vanished completely. Police descrip
tions were cabled throughout the world.
One circumstance of the flight proved
to be most important; namely. Dr.
Crippen purchased a suit of boy's cloth
ing, evidently to disguise his companion
as a boy In their flight.
Captain Kendall Makes Discovery.
The first real clew came on the sail
ing of the Canadian Pacific steamer
M-ntrose from Antwerp on July 20.
A couple of strange appearance took
hasty passage on the steamer two hours
before it sailed. They gave the names
of "Rev. John Robinson and John
Robinson, Jr.," said to be father and
son.
Two days out. Captain Kendall, of
the 'Montrose, had his suspicions ex
cited. He became convinced that the
younger Robinson was a woman and
then that the pair were those for whom
London and the outer world had been
searching In vain. By wireless he com
municated his suspicions to Scotland
Yard. A minute description of the
pair, sent by wireless to the ship at
sea. confirmed Captain Kendall's sus
picions. The two were kept under sur
veillance, but not under arrest.
Then began the sensational detective
chase which culminated yesterday. In
spector Dew, balked in his first attempt
to apprehend Crippen, hurried to Liver
pool, where he caught the White Star
steamer Laurentlc. She was faster than
the Montrose and both were headed for
the same destination. The Laurentlc
overtook and passed the Montrose at
sea, and two days ago Inspector Dew
landed at Father Point, one of the re
mote outposts on the St. Lawrence, and
awaited his quarry. Meantime, the
wireless had been busy in furthering
the work of detection, so that the
identity of the pair as Dr. Crippen and
Miss Leneve became practically assured
as the Montrose drew nearer the await
ing officers.

Winner of the Second Prlxe for the bent reasons why Table Queen Toast excels all others.
We baked and sold on Saturday last 39,583 loaves of delicious Table Queen Bread a gain of about
25 per cent over the same day a year ago. We estimate that each loaf supplies five people with whole
some nutriment. Therefore, on Saturday last we comforted and filled approximately 200,000 (two hun

The Royal Bakery & Confectionery, Inc
products valued at the surprising total
of $2,127,301,000. Assuming that there
are 70,000.000 inhabitants in Latin
America, this gives a per capita trade
of approximately $30. The foreign com
merce of China and Japan, combined,
with a conservative estimate of their
population at 350,000,000, was approxi
mately $1,000,000,000, or only half that
of Latin America, giving a per capita
of less than $3 a head, or only one
tenth that of Latin America. This com
parison is not In any sense intended
as a reflection on Japan or China, but
solely to emphasize the remarkable im
portance and progress of Latin
America.
"This grand total represents an al
most phenomenal Increase in one de
cade, as over the average foreign trade
for the years 1S96-7-3. of $1,203,616,000.
or 128 per cent. It must convince the
most hard-headed doubter that the 20
nations which reach in unbroken array
from Mexico and Cuba south to Argen
tina and Chile are worthy of the study
of the rest of the world and particu
larly of the United States.
"The total of Latin American foreign
commerce for 1909. divided into exports
and imports, shows a notable balance
of trade in favor of Latin America. The
exports were valued at $1,232,103,000;
the imports at $895,198,000. or a favor
able balance of $336,905,000. Exports,
moreover, show an Impressive Increase
In ten years of 143 per cent and im
ports of 115 per cent.
The United States bought from and
sold to Latin America in 1909 products
valued at $589,302,000. Taking this as
high-water mark of the trade Latin
America and the United States ex
changed last year, what becomes of the
complaint of the uninformed man that
the United States is being outstripped
rapidly by Germany and Prance? When
the United States buys, as she does,
one-fourth of all Latin America sells
to the world, and sell to it one-fourth
of all it buys, no one can logically say
that the United States and Latin Amer
ica are losing their commerce with
each other through the competition of
Europe."

WHEAT IS" PROBLEM
Speculators Most Concerned
With Immediate Future.
ULTIMATE RISE EXPECTED
Present Prices, With Charges for
Carrying Added, Do Not Look
Attractive Movement to Mar
- ket May Be Deceptive.
CHICAGO, July 31. (Special.) Spec
ulators in wheat are in the main
rather disposed to believe in higher
prices before the end of th ecrop year,
but they are much in doubt regarding
the immediate future. A factor of
much immediate importance will be the
early wheat marketings. Winter
wheat has been slow to move on ac
count of the late harvest and delaying
rains, but the Spring wheat harvest
was hastened by the drouth. Prospects
therefore are that the after-harvest
rush from both crops will come at
once.
This will make the movement of new
wheat ' deceptively large for a time.
Nevertheless, It is quite likely to have
its eqect on prices while it lasts. If
it should also hasten the buying of
wheat by millers, it will be of vast
benefit- to wheat values later in the
crop year, provided the general theory
of a domestic basis for this year's crop
is nearly correct, as now appears.
Buyers Slow to Act.
Current values of wheat, however,
are much higher than a year ago, and
the present is an unheard-of high level
at which to lay In stores of wheat on
which to accumulate earrying and
other charges while waiting for the
ultimate consumer. Even if the crop
Is, therefore. Just about large enough
to suply 12 months' consumption, the
consumer who also requires a year to
consume the grain cannot have the
property carried for nothing. In view

This feature has evidently been rec

buying side recently, although probably
have been much campaigning.

"THE BOYS" ARE FOOLED
I. a Center Couple Drives 4 Miles at
Dawn to Get Marriage License.
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 31. -(Special.)
To keep "the boys" from know
ing that he was about to take unto
himself a bride, Arthur W. Fleming,
with Miss May Hiatt, of La Center,
drove 24 miles yesterday morning, ar
riving in Vancouver at 8 o'clock in the
morning. They had left their homes
before daylight, when "the boys" were
sleeping. They secured a marriage
license and took It back with them,
and today were married there.
Fleming came to Vancouver Friday
with his witness, O. R. Hiatt, and made
application for the license. The bride-to-be
could not be present, and the wit
ness could not come yesterday, so the
license was partially made out, to be
completed when the woman arrived.
When told that she could sign an affi
davit at La Center, and this would
save her from making the long drive,
both said if they did that "the boys"
would find it out.
