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-

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.
In one chamber were found portions
of two human skeletons. They are be
lieved to be those of members of a race
that Inhabited this country long before
the Indians lived here. A large lake has
been found in another chamber of the
cave. Further explorations will be made
and the lake itself will be searched.

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.

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

" 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

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.

NEW OPERATOR WINS HEAVILY
July Wheat Corner Is Closed
Below Top Price.
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.
