Garfield and that bunch have been after me, trying to make a scapegost of me. "The President and I have done all we could to make this Administration a success.

The work will be In charge of Andrew Chrlstensen. who succeeded Louis R Ulavis. when the latter was dismissed as Chief of the Field Division of the General Land Office with headquarters at Portland. Or., which has charge of the Alaskan district. It was Mr. Chrlstensen who. during the Balllnger-Pinchot Investigation, di rected the opening or a box stored In the Federal building in Seattle and be longing to Mr. Glavls, which resulted In the finding of 24 letters that had been missing from the Juneau Land Office. Glavls said the letters were put there without his knowledge and that the action was a "frame-up" arranged by his enemies. The two men have been bitter res ever since.

LTON IS UPHELD AERO CLCB-S ACTIOX REGARD ED AS SLAP AT CURTISS. Xo Meet Xot Open to All Qualified Aviators Will Bo Official, Ac cording to Resolutions. NEW YORK. Aug. 1. The National council of the Aero Club of America, which met today to consider the pro-, test of Chnrles K. Hamilton against Glenn H. Curtlss, announced tonight that a resolution had been adopted denying the sanction of the club of any aviation meet not open to all qualified and licensed aviators. Although no mention Is made of cither Curtlss or Hamilton, the resolu tion Is generally Interpreted as a di rect slap at Curtlss. In his protest Hamilton charged that representations made by Curtlss to the management of the coming Harvard aviation meet has caused the management to refuse his entry. This conduct he denounced as unsportsmanlike and u--American.

JEALOUS WOMAN MURDERS Doctor of Fashionable Pittsburg Is Slain on Eve or Wedding. PITTSBURG. Aug. 1. Dr. George Mur ray Stewart, one of the most prominent young physicians of the fashionable East Liberty district, was round In his apart ments tonight shot dead. Beside his body lay that or Edna Wallace, a middle-' aged woman. A bullet hole through her right temple was apparently self-inflicted after she had shot and killed the doctor. A revolver lying by the woman s side strengthens the police In this theory. The double killing comes almost on the eve of Dr. Stewart s man-mise m -glnta girl. The Wallace woman was proprietress of a house at S3 Lambert street and the police believe Jealouwy of the. doctor's coming marriage prompted the double tragedy.

LENEVE G1RLWEEPS Canadian Laws Will Not Per mit Return . Till , August 15. STENOGRAPHER IS PITIED Crippen Appears Wreck of Former Self Arraignment Is Formal With Xo Attempt to Secure Confession of Crime. (Continued From First Psge.) Bounced that she bad. because of her weak condition, been taken to a hospital, but this proved to be Incorrect. She Is back in Jail tonight, under the care of a physician, but visitors to the Chiefs house say they had a glimpse of her walking about in the yard for a breath of air, under careful but unobtrusive sur veillance. Miss Leueve Thought Dupe Many persons believe the police are so markedly lenient with Miss Leneve not only because they pity her plight, but also because they believe she is Crip pen's dupe and that she may turn against him on the witness stand. This is the course her relatives in London are urging her to take, as several cablegrams re ceived today made apparent. Crippen occupies a cell in the provincial Jail on the heights east of the city, over looking the St. Lawrence River. He might ask to have the American Consul notified or seek an attorney to Insure that he gets fair treatment. The United States Consul here Is Gebhart Will-Rich, a former resident of Milwaukee and St. Paul, Minn. ' Mr. Will-Rich said today that while he stood ready to give Crippen all consistent assistance, he had no appli cation to do so and expected none. In fact, he added, he saw no way In which he could better the situation of the pris oner in any way. Dew a Hero. Inspector Dew is resting here after his labors, an object of curiosity ot residents and to the tourists that throng this queer old French city at this time of year, and the envy and admiration of the local police. Another hero today is Captain Ken dall or the Montrose, who discovered the identity of the suspects after they had eluded the police of the other side for 11 days. The captain said today that be suspected Crippen the moment he laid eyes on him shortly after the man boarded the steamer at Antwerp on July 29. "The English papers were full .or the case while we were on the other side," said the captain, "and I became very much Interested in It. I bought all the papers and used to lie In my bunk and read them. Look here." and opening the drawer of his desk. In his cabin, the skipper produced half a dosen pa pers, each containing pictures of Crip pen and Miss Leneve. One of the den tist's pictures had the black mustache blocked out with white chalk. "I did that," continued Kendall, "the first day I saw the man aboard. He was clean-shaven then and I wanted to see how this likeness would look with out the mustache. I also chalked out the spectacles in the pictures. Crippen wore no spectacles aboard. Here is the result. "You can see how closely it resembles the man as he looks today. . And here is something else I did." The skipper took from his desk a square of white cardboard with a round hole cut In the center and fitted it over a newspaper cut of Miss Leneve. Thus superimposed, it covered the girl's pic ture hat and dress, leaving only the face showing. "I did this and compared the pictured race with that or the passenger Crippen said was his son," said Ken dall. "The resemblance is striking. After these experiments I was con vinced. "Crippen was very wary In his talks with me. Several times I conversed with him in the cabin, but 'always I was careful to ask him no questions that would excite his suspicions. Up to the hour of his arrest I believe that he did not dream how sure we were of their identity." There are many today who believe Crippen was taken less by surprise than had been planned. It is certain that his resources for escape had dwindled until he was nearly helpless. He had a railroad ticket for Detroit, but only 310 In his pockets. Miss Leneve had not a cent. Crippen, however, did have several Jewels con cealed on his person. Girl's Parents Secure Counsel. A London dispatch says Miss Leneve's relatives have retained counsel here to defend her. but on this point the police have received no official Information. Crippen seemed utterly discouraged, but so far as can be ascertained, he has let nothing slip that can be used against him when he comes to trial. The police pin their hope upon Miss Leneve, but rollowlng the wishes or In spector Dew. they declare they are mak ing no effort to ootain conieesions ana are not subjecting either prisoner to any thing approaching the "third degree."' Such efforts would be contrary to British police methods. It was a broken man that stood be fore Judge Angers In the Provincial Court of Special Sessions.. Following the receipt of instructions from Scot land Tard today. Inspector Dew visited the Court House and conferred for some moments with the Judge. Crippen Has Bad Xlght. Presently the detectives with Crippen drove up to the court house in a car riage and fought their way through the crowd to the Judge's chambers. Crippen was brought at once to the bar. He was heavily manacled. It was apparent that he had passed a bad night. The Judge asked the prisoner if he was Hawley H. Crippen. "I am." said Crippen. "Do you know this man?" indicating Inspector Dew. Crippen nodded his head. "Are you ready to go back with him or any qualified officer? "I am." said Crippen. "Do you Intend to fight extradition T "No." As he answered the questions Crip pen scarcely raised his head. To further interrogatories he said he was a citlsen of the United States, born in Michigan. When the Judge asked: "Is the girl arrested with you Miss Ethel Clare Leneve T" the doctor re plied: Tea." It was known that the steamer would be due here soon after midnight.

Every stylish pat tern In Pumps, Slippers, Oxfords at Walking Boots in the evening, crowds began to gather at the pier. The excitement was in tense, when the boat swung Into her pier. Crippen was still in cabin No. 8, where he was confined yesterday. With him was Detective Denis. Miss Leneve was under close watch of Chief Mc Carthy in cabin No. 6. Throughout the night Inspector Dew had passed from one cabin to the other, not for one mo ment relaxing the watch on the prison ers who once slipped through his fingers. At 10:80 o'clock. Captain Kendal came down from the bridge and noti fied Inspector Dew that in a few min utes his passengers Nvould be taken ashore. Both prisoners were so near to. physical collapse that they scarcely glanced at each other. Miss Leneve tottered as she moved forward and hardly could have proceeded alone. She wore a gray dress, which had been given her by the stewardess when the boy's clothing in which she had crossed the Atlantic was taken from her. Over her hat a heavy veil had been thrown. But she scarcely needed the veil to hide her features, for her head was so bent that no one could have seen her face. On the way over from Antwerp the face of Miss Leneve had appeared too pretty for that of a boy. A halt hour after she bad been placed in custody her features appeared to be rather tnpse of a well matured woman who had suffered much. Crowds Terrify Them. Dew led the way to the gangway, a steward carrying a small suitcase marked "J- Robinson." This was the only baggage which the two brought with them. Neither had an extra suit of clothing. As they appeared on the gangplank and caught sight of the enormous crowd that surged about the pier des perately determined to get a gjance at the pair, Crippen and the woman would have fallen but tor the arms which supported them. Crlppen'a manacled hands swung loosely In front of him. Miss Leneve swayed from side to side. Her closely cut hair still gave her the boyish ap pearance which she had tried to adopt and many of the crowd were fooled into thinking that the diminutive figure was not that of the woman who had challenged the attention of two conti nents. The little procession had scarcely reached the foot of the gangplank when me pusuius 1-1 u wvo.u around it. When the officers found an opening they half carried their charges to the carriage, pushed them Inside and in an other moment the vehicle was clattering to the Provincial buildings. The doors of the Provincial Jail stood open, awaiting its new guests and the rormalities necessary were quickly over. Crippen was placed In a cell smaller than the stateroom which he and his typist had occupied on the Montrose. More consideration was shown to Miss Leneve. She was given a large and comparatively comfortable room on an upper floor. Effeminate Ways Were Clew. Talks with the crew and stewards of the Montrose threw interesting sidelights on the action of the pair on the voyage from Antwerp. Dominlck Keen, the steward who looked after their stateroom, had the best oppor tunity for observing their actions. He said: -I was one of the first to discover, by her neat methods in her room, ber way of walking and her effeminate figure that 'John Robinson, Jr.' was a woman. Then we discovered that the labels had been taken from all their clothes, that the lining had been torn from the younger Robinson's hat, and soon Captain Kendall was con vinced that he had the much-sought fugitives on board." Alfred Smith, the dining-room stew ard, told how Crippen had maneuvered to keep Miss Leneve seated by him at the table. He said Crippen .had $195 rT (1 rw C 1 ot h and " Kid Tops. QUEEN QUALITY STANDARD THE WORLD OVER.- In Patent Doll Calf nnd Kid. Money Cheerfully Refunded asked for two seats at the captain's table, side by side, and next- to the wall, so that no one could sit beside Miss Leneve other than himself. "My boy Is a little deaf," he told the steward and after some argument succeeded in getting the desired seats. In that way he prevented any passen gers from engaging the girl in con versation at the table and betraying her sex bv her voice. Arthur Homer, of Montreal, one of the few English-speaking passengers aboard, came perhaps In closer con tact with the pair. Crippen used . to lend him magazines and they often talked together, when Miss Leneve was not present, although Crippen was careful not to reveal much of his past history.
