SUICIDE RUMOR ALARMS At Xoon Today Detective Dew Will Board Ship to Identify American Dentist and Stenographer. Suspects StiU I'nconscious. FATHER POINT, Que, July 30. Bar ring unforeseen delay, it will be known by noon tomorrow whether Dr. Hawley II. Crippen and his stenographer. Ethel Claire Leneve, are aboard the steamship Montrose. Tonight the vessel is forcing her way through a storm up the St. Lawrence River, nearing this point, where Inspec tor Dew, of Scotland Yard, with Ca nadian officers, walls impatiently to clamber aboard and have arrested the man. whom he believer to be the Ameri can dentist, a fugitive from justice, charged with the murder in London of an unknown woman, thought to have been his actress-wife. Belle Elmore. Early this afternoon Captain Kendall sent wireless word that he expected to be here by 6 o'clock Sunday morning, but later a storm came down the river and It seemed unlikely that the steamer would make as good time as her commander expected. If the police carry out their programme, they will land the pair at Quebec before 9 o'clock Sunday night. Thursday Set for Day of lteturn. If there is no hitch In arrangements Bnd identification, the prisoners will be kept In Jail at Quebec until Monday morning, when they will be arraigned be fore Judge Patel Angers, a Quebec po lice magistrate. Unless Crippen shows unusual resourcefulness, the Canadian police expect to place him in the hands of Inspector Dew on the same day, 'to be taken back to England on the next steamship sailing from Quebec on Thurs day. Frederick M. Ryder, the American Consul at Rlmouski, near here, today came to Father Point to see Inspector Dew. He has no intention of interfer ing with the action of the Canadian authorities, but considers it his duty to be on hand in case Crippen considers that his rights as an American citizen are being Infringed and to advise him concerning his privileges. l'Yg Prevents Messages. Fog and thunderstoms tonight inter rupted wireless communication between the Montrose and the local company and the local station. . Inspector Dew, in a private chat to day, described the discovery of the body believed to have been Belle Elmore's in Crippen's London home. "1 saw nothing amiss when I first Vent through the house," he said, "and although . I searched each room care fully, twice, with the same result, I vas unsatisfied. I thought that It would be well to go back and test the walls with an Iron bar. So I went back the fourth time, and at first I again found nothing amiss. Ghostly Find Described. "The collar walls all seemed sound, but. striking about with the iron bar, I struck a loose brick and out it fell. Immediately a rrible stench met my iostrtls. Instantly I began to tear away the loose bricks, and underneath I found a mass of human flesh, eaten away with lime. Not a bone was found, and I believe the murderer, with his medical skill, separated them from the flesh and threw them into a canal not far from the house." A rumor reached here tonight from Montreal that Crippen committed sui cide on board the Montrose. This caused considerable uneasiness, al- (Conrluded on IflHO .1 1 llliraHni, - ---t m m m m m m m mm m m m m m m m mm mm m m m m - 1 . 1 , t HARRY MURPHY PRODUCES SEVEN PICTURES, ILLUSTRATIVE OF EVENTS OFHEWEEK ------- ..

Cunning Little Pocket That WiHe Can't Kind -Is Innovation for ; Trousers of Coming Year. CHICAGO. July 30. (Special.) Fancy frills and furbelows, rows of gaudy but tons set in semi-barbaric fashion,- and tawdry plaits and flounces that used to be "all the go" in men's clothing and that forced inventive tailors to rack their brains almost to desperation in their en deavor to outdo the gaily-dressed cour tiers of Ellzabethean days, striving to satisfy the public mania for "nobby" clothes, are doomed. So declared experts who viewed .the displays of the latest "wrinkles" in mas culine wearing apparel exhibited at the opening of the fashion show at the Coli seum today. To be up-to-date in clothes now, you must be plain. Wear penser-vatively-cut clothes and lay aside the fancy work. Conservative colors, the plain blues, grays and browns, without the color dashing stripes, checks and plaids, once so popular, as well as plain patterns, seem to have taken precedence over the elaborately-hued and multi-colored com binations that once were in style. This is the mandate of th"e fashion dictators whoydetermlne what the man should wear and whose orders are complied with by most men who want to appear like the rest of the world. A novelty this season is a secret pocket in men's trousers where the owner can hide away some small change from wine ajid footpads. FILMS QUICKLY END WAR Assistant Secretary Learns From Motion Pictures How It Is Done. WASHINGTON, July 30. Left sitting on the "lid'" at the State Department by Secretary bt State Knox, Assistant Secre tary of State Huntington Wilson has had the fortune to see the end of the war fare in Nicaragua, a problem, the ' ac complishment of which has been worry ing the department for months. He saw the happy solution of his troubles in a moving picture show. With the diplomatic corps off to the seashore and officials In the Government generally remembered here only by their vacant teats. Mr. Wilson has had to hunt around right lively to find some amuse ment. He has become a 5-cent theater devotee. One night this week at a show he waa amazed to behold scenes of battles he had read about in dispatches from consu lar representative? in Nicaragua. He saw the dispatches telling of war and desola tion laid before the Secretary " of the Navy. He beheld a gunboat of the United States rushing through the waters. The next moment six marines without a single gun had landed, and the war was over. "Were the pictures of yourelf good?" inquired a friend of Mr. Wilson, to whom the Secretary had related his experience. "They left the State Department out entirely," he replied. PREHISTORIC FIND MADE California Cave Reveals Human Skeletons and Big Lake. AUBURN, Cal.. July 30. (Special.) The bones of two prehistoric humans with low brows and heavy jaws have been found In an ancient cave on the lime stone property that is being opened up near Cool, Eldorado County. The com pany owning the ground gave to Dr. Sawyer, of Auburn, permission to open and explore the cave and recover any curios it might possess.

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH Only Soles of Baby's Feet Escape Effects of Flames. TACOMA.

She lived about three -hours in great suffering. Fight Promised if Pre mier Wants It. HOPE LIES. WITH DON JAIME earlists Relied Upon to Vindi cate Roman Catholicism. ALL IBERIA THREATENED Rome Takes Gloomy View, or Situa tion Plot to Overthrow Mon archies of Spain and Portu gal Is Suspected. ' HOME, July 30 Notwithstanding the extremely strained relations between the Vatican and the Spanish govern ment, the recall of Marquis de Ojeda, the Spanish Ambassador to the Vati can, has produced a great sensation in Rome. The Vatican, in a semi-official communication, says that the recall of the Ambassador proves that the pro gramme of Premier Canelajas was not arranged with the hope of -accord, but with a desire for a fight and, the com munication adds, we will have it. Vatican officials take the darkest view ot the situation, not only in Spain, but in Portugal as well. They are of the opinion that the extreme parties in both countries, aided by foreign ele ments, are trying to overthrow the respective monarchies with the object of uniting the Iberian Peninsula under republican rule. Protestant Influence Seen. In Spain, it is pointed out, there is in addition to the French Free Masonic influence, the English Protestant In fluence exercised over the King through the Battenbergs, wno have established themselves at the Spanish court, con sequent upon the King's marriage. Hope ot the Vatican Is that Don Jaime, the Carlist pretender, who has threa tened a revolution, will 'raise the Carlist flag and vindicate Roman Catholicism. The Vatican attacks Premier Canalejas, declaring that he premeditated a rupture, as. from the beginning of the differences he has on every occasion possible taken two steps backwards in the negotiations for one he has taken forward. Indeed, since the' negotiations with the Holy See with reference to the religious congrega tions began, the premier has taken the nTst eteps antagonistic to the Vatican. Premier's Sincerity Assailed. These steps, it 1 charged, are: First The issuance of an unconstitu tional decree . favoring non-Catholic creeds, thus violating the concordat with the Holy See. Second The reproduction of the de cree " of 1902 against the congregations which was never In force. - Third The publication of the speech from the throne which contained hotitile and threatening expressions against the church. Fourth The projected bill prohibiting the institution of religious houses. This attitude of the Premier, the Vati can 'says, shows that the Spanish gov ernment had always aimed contrary to that accord which it pretended to deeire. The Holy See repeatedly asked that the government assume a different atitude, pointing out that it was impossible to carry on negotiations efficaciously when the second party showed such hostility. Premier Canalejas answered, recalling the Spanish ambassador and this, says the Vatican. Is a clear confession of his true programme, although he has always eald that be was obeying the will of the country. CHILDREN PARADE IX MADRID Demonstration Made for . Govern ment Pope Gets Support. MADRID. July 30. Demonstrations in Madrid began today, with one in favor of the government, when chil dren from the public schools marched in procession before the statue of Mendlzabel, a Spanish leader of the Honcmd egg? '' .YJL Gregry ' he loves the girl. I (Concluded on PaS S. ) With Him at San Francisco Are Mrs. Jesse Clement, Wife of Glendale Man, and Her Two Children. ROSEBUP.G. Or.; July 30. (Special.) Armed with requisition papers, Deputy Sheriff Mortensen left here to day for San Francisco to bring back F. M. McDonald, wanted at Glendale, Douglas County, on a charge of em bezzlement. According to District Attorney George M. Brown. McDonald conducted a col lection agency at Glendale for several months prior to July 15, when he sud denly left that city in company with Mrs. Jesse Clement, wife of a well known Douglas County citizen. Soon after his departure it was discovered that he had collected several hundred dollars that he failed to turn over to his employers. The District Attorney immediately sent a number of circulars containing a description of the accused man to different points, and this morning re ceived word that McDonald had been captured at San Francisco, and was being held awaiting the arrival of an officer. With him were Mrs. Clement and her two children. Mr. Clement, who is well connected In this locality, accompanied the offi cer to San Francisco, in hope that he may persuade his wife to return home. According to Glendale citizens, Mc Donald has been paying attention to Mrs. Clement of late, and upon numer ous occasions they have been seen in company. McDonald Is 30 years of age, and Mrs. Clement, who is a strik ingly pretty woman, is a few years younger. McDonald has a wife at Port land who recently sued him for divorce. SHIPPING !- TRUST, BROKEN Puget Sound Sailor Hoarding-House Men In Open War. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., July 30. (Special.) The trust which for years has controlled and dictated the handling of deep-water crews out of Puget Sound has broken as the result of contention among the members, and already ' open -war is progressing among the former partners. Paradoxical as it appears, the break will not benefit but wjll, rather, work to the detriment of the-a4lor ' himself, for In the case of the American ship Alex Gibson, the first vessel ready for sea since " the dissolution, competition has forced the wages down to $20 per -month for the able seamen, the price maintained for the past 10 years, by the trust being $5 over that amount. The Gibson has cargo from Tacoma for New York, and Dave Evans, former manager . of the combine's branch at Tacoma, has secured the contract at the 'reduced wage re ported. So far as can be learned, the owners will realize nothing by the warfare, and appearances are that delays in supplying crews at the lower price offered will more than offset the slight economy in the payroll. KIDNAPED BOY NOT FOUND Information That He Is Hidden at Farm Proves to Be False. OLYMPIA, Wash., July 30. (Spe cial.) On Information that Alfred Car bone, the 7-year-old Aberdeen boy kid naped by his grandfather last Wednes day, was hidden on the. farm of R. Manfrldi near Yelm, the Sheriff se cured, a writ of habeas corpus and made a hurried trip to the farm in an automobile today, but the tip turned out to be a false one, and no trace of the missing youngster was found: The boy's mother, who lives in Port land, is hurrying here to aid in the search for her son. The father Is at Tacoma. The; parents of , the child were divorced when he was only 18 months old. since which time the boy remained in charge of Mrs. K.

CONSPIRATORS HUNT COVER Immunity to Be Denied to Of ficials Higher Up. CONFESSIONS ARE MADE Farming Out of Cars Supported by False Statements Elaborately " Prepared Rawn's Influence Was Craftily Extended. CHICAGO, July 30. (Special.) J. T. Harahau, president of the Illinois Central Railroad, expects to take the witness stand either before a " Master or in -court in the prosecution of the civil suits for the recovery v of more than $1,500,000, of which the company was defrauded, and tell an amazing story of misplaced confidence, decit and treachery. - ' The principle character inhis sworn story will be, it is said. Ira J. Rawn. late president of the Monon road, and former vice-president of the Illinois Central, whom Mr. Harahan says '.ie trusted as he would a son and who, he will assert, betrayed fiat trust in a manner almost passing belief. Reply Made to Maddy. The information that the president of- the Illinois Central would become a witness, unless the litigation takes an unexpected turn, was confirmed by Attorney Murray Nelson. . The state ment was largely the result of the story printed this morning in which J. H. Maddy, ot the Erierjiaa.jaadl given in detail a conversation he had with Mr. Rawn in April, in which they went over the entire Illinois Central graft case. To. Mr. Maddy, as well as to Daniel Wiliard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio road, who was one of Mr. Rawn's closest friends, the Mor on's head protested his innocence of any complicity in the Illinois Central frauds. -. Maddy's statement was telegraphed to President Harahan today, while he was on his way to Memphis, and he was asked to make a statement re garding it. He refused,, but declared that when the time came for him to talk he would tell -everything within his knowledge, and It was declared emphatically that his story would place the entire responsibility upon the shoulders of the dead railroad man. Conspirators in Panic. The only thing that can stop Mr. Harahan's story will be confessions by the alleged criminals that will make It unnecessary. It was said today that the entire framework upon which the conspiracy was built has tumbled down and that each day men whowere members of the conspiracy are beg ging to be permitted to turn state's evidence. Several have been allowed to do so, but none of the Important defendants will receive an immunity bath. One of the attorneys In the ease declared that overtures had been made on behalf of at least one or two of the former higher officials of the Illinois Central, who hope to avoid criminal prosecution by telling all they know on the stand. "We are getting additional confes sions almost daily," said this attorney, "but we have refused and will refuse persistently even to talk with the more Important of the conspirators as none such will be permitted to escape the full penalty." Confidence Gradually Won. The story which President Harahan adhered to. will show, it is asserted, how Rawn gradually obtained such an influence over him that he left many things to his judgment that operating men rarely deal with. Not a question of importance In any department of State Department Cheek on Plan to Capture Pan-American Congress Is Severe Blow. WASHINGTON. July 30. (Special.) New Orleans has lost its chief exposi tion booster, Henry O. McCarthy, spe cial representative of the fair commit tee, left for home tonight, after having been on the firing line for many months. "It is doubtful whether I will re turn, but that is all I can say of my departure," was the o6ly comment he would make. , It is evident that serious difficulties have arisen in the exposition manage ment, and that McCarthy is about ready to devote his energies to other fields. He said that he was in no way inter ested In politics in Louisiana,' and he was not returning home to try to set tle the political feud that is raging there. McCarthy and Governor 'Deneen. of Illinois, are credited with having lined up more members of Congress for New Orleans than any other champions of the city. To lose McCarthy is to lose an important prop of the cause. The action of the .State Department in nipping the deep-laid plans of the Southern city to gain a favorable declaration from the Pan-American Congress at Buenos Ayres has added to the present demoralization. It seems that it had been hoped to win a large prestige by enlisting all the South and Central American coun tries on the side of New Orleans, and the Department's interference is the occasion of great disappointment.

PUBLIC OPINION FEARED Alarm Felt Lest Juggling "With Food Products Shall Result in Legis lation of Unfriendly Xa- -ture by Congress. CHICAGO. July 30. (Special.) The great wheat battle of July, 1910, closed at noon today, with Tliomas H. Water man, the new king of the pit. still in the saddle, but with his charger careening in an irritating manner. The "corner" closed without any squeezing of tht; -shorts, which is a most unprecedented way for a well-regulated corner to act. especially when a new monarch is as suming control, i Waterman is trying to carry over his tremendous holdings into the September market and there to attempt a garnering cf the expected profits'. The closing pricen of the July option, as the gong rang on one of the most dramatic sessions seen on the Chicago Board of Trade in recent years, were $l.i and J1.05K.. These price-., while above the average paid by Waterman, are below the sensational figure!, registered yesterday, when the cereal soared to $1.10-.' The shorts had saved tjie difference. September wheat closed at M.mti Tlese figures are also below those orFriday and showed the operation of causes that prevented any serious holding up of the large short interest. The main reason for the failing of the coiner and the escape of many shorts from the promised " squeezing is that the Chicago Board of Trade permitted Water man and his associates to learn that no squeezing of the shorts would be tolerated and that the creation of an artificially high price on the closing day of the option would result in some one being suspended from membership. The hint use taken in the spirit in which it was intended end the executive committee of the Board was not obliged to invoke its "no corner" ' rule. Water man. Patten and their friends made no effort to carry prices beyond the sensa tional heights of Friday they would have been happy to have maintained them there. The eloping hours of the short session on the Board were fraught with an excitement that- was almost an agony to the chief participants. Waterman, who first entered the wheat market as an ally of -Patten, quits a big winner. He is said to be attempting to carry his corner over ii.to the September option and it is this that has caused much excited talk among officers of the Board of Trade. Waterman bought his wheat at prices that ran from 91 cents, when he lire entered on the deal, to others thai were as high as 1.16 on July IS. It is believed by experienced brokers that his Tine of about 2r,000,000 bushels, stood him at an average of about $1. At what average price he has been able to dispose of it cannot be guessed. Many authorities agree that Waterman has not been able to dispose of a very great part of it at all, but that he finds himself the owner of millions of bushels that he has bought at a high price as established by himself. Many predictions are that prices will go lower and that Waterman and his friends will find themselves unable to dispose of their wheat except at a loss. The Board has . been alarmed on several occasions lest there should be enacted a National law -against trading, and it is felt that there will certainly be such legislation unless the board itself stops such corners in fod products as Patten and Waterman have conducted. It is hoped the Patten' corner of last year wiuld prove the last, but no one de nies the existence of another corner this year. 1
