Girl Is Innocent.
Quebec, Aug. 2. After a
grilling examination Inspector
Dew today said: "Mme. Leneve
Is merely foolish, and Is abso
lutely innocent of connection
with the murder of Mrs. Crip
pen. I don't believe she even
knew Mrs. Crippen was dead
until she left London. Mme
Leneve -will probably not be
of value to us as a witness."

Crippen occupied a cell In the pro-:

city overlooking the St. Lawrence , pea,g of the majorlly of the cardinals

way in which he could better the sit- j

Inspector Dew Is resting here after
his labors, an object of curiosity to.
residents an.l to the tourists that;
throng this queer old French city at
this time of year, and the envy and j
admiration of the local police.
Retain Counsel,
A London dispatch says Miss Le

the police have received no official
Information.
Crippen seemed utterly discouraged
but so fiir'as can be learned, ho has
let nothing slip that can be used
against him when he comes to trial.
The police pin their hopes upon
Miss Leneve, but following the wishes
of Inspector Dew, they declare they
" are milking no effort to obtain confes
sions and are not sbjecting either
prisoner to anything approaching the
"third degree." Such efforts would
be contrary to British police meth
ods. Crew Members Talk.

Kansas City, Aug. 2. Negotiations
between miners and coal operators
o; the soutnwestern territory wnien
have dragged along over a period of
exactly four months were brought to
an end and a general strike order
will be issued, according to George
Manuel, secretary of the Missouri dis
trict and 30,000 or more miners who
have not worked since the expiration
of the old contract April 1 will be
formally on strike. The conclusion of
negotiations came after tne miners
had been in session the greater part
of the day and had waited for the op
erators to agree to their proposition
to hold a Joint session at which a wage
scale based upon what is known asl
the Cincinnati demand could be dis- !
cussed. Conference committees had !
been proposed by the miners to niet
such conference committees as the '
operators eh oat.' to appoint. But the
operators held that by agreement
neither the operators nor the miners
could demand a joint meeting, and
would make no concessions to this re
quest of the miners. Of the number of says in un open letter to the Emperial
miners affected by the strike order, I ; :tzette. "Since it is a notorious fact
about 9.500 are in Kansas, about 8.- that rieither national, state or mu
r,00 in Missouri, 9,000 in Oklahoma : nicipr.i governments have ever tran
and about 3,000 in Arkansas. Some t sacted business economically, there is
5.000 miners In Texas though in an-
other district, will be indirectly affect
ed by the strike order, and this, too,
will have an Indirect bearing upon
the miners in Colorado and other
western states. At present there are
number of "Independent" miners in
this territory, that from the beginning
have paid the wage scale asked and
at these mines there will be no ces
sation of work. They employ about
2,800 men. Employes of these "in
dependent" concerns will not be asked
to discontinue work.
Still, even a blind asylum may be a
sightly place.

FAMOUS U. S. DETECTIVE
DISCUSSES CRIPPEN CASE
Washington, Aug. 2. In writing for
the United Press, John Wllkie, chief
of the United States secret service,
said: "I have followed every detail
of the Crippen case, and will say the
denoument when the arresting offi
cers boarded the liner Montrose at
Quebec, was in harmony with the dra
matic incidents following the discov
ery of the body at Crippen's house in
London. The successful employment
of the wireless is a beautiful demon
stration of what may be accomplish
ed in pursuit of a criminal. The phase
of the case on which the attention of
the police will be centered Is the rela
tives identification of the victim and
the proof that a crtme was actually
committed. I have noticed that Su
perintendent Forrest of Scotland
Yard is confident the government has
an impregnable case built on circum
stantial evidence, and I have the
highest opinion of this conservative
officer." '
PACKAGE OF VALUABLE
GERMS IS STOLEN
Topeka, Kan., Aug. 2. Thirteen
vials containing tuberculosis and diph
theria germs addressed to Dr. Sarah
A. Greenfield, bacteriologist of the
state board of health, disappeared in
the mails last Friday and a search
for them resulted in finding the vials
open and empty, in an alley in the

taken out by the postman but was
lost or stolen before he delivered it.
The state board of health decline to
tf II exactly where the vials were found
fearing to rouse the neighborhood.
There were enough germs in the
vials to depopulate the state but the
board of health thinks there will be
no serious results, as the broken vials
were found where direct rays of the
run shone on them.

St. Paul, Aug. 2. Ii an interview
vhich he gave out Inr rjight at Min
neapolis, Richard A. Ballinger, secre
tary of the interior, bitterly arraigned
his enemies as "demagogues" and
charged that not .only are they seek
ing to make a scapegoat of him, bat
they are also trying to foment trouble
between President Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt. After referring to the fa
that at Seattle, his old home, every
one is his friend, and that he west
to Washington as secretary only after
being long sought aftti, he said:
"Pinchot, Garfield and that buneli
have been after me. trying to mak
a scapegoat of me. Th president and
I have done all we could to make thla
administration a success. The presi
dent is heartily in favor of a radical
conservation and so am I. There are
a lot of demagogues T'ho would like
tc see a breach formed between Theo

Is'pust the way of things. But Presi
dent Taft has been wise. He hae
taken a broad and liberal stand for
censstructive and upbuilding policies."
There is an intimation that Bal
linger's resignation is believed to -plain
the "accidental" meeting of
Crane and Ballinger at Minneapolis
yesterday. Secretary Norton refused
to confirm or deny the report. Pres
ident Taft played goir this mommy
and waa visited by General Wood
and Congressman Olcott this after-,
noon.
Crane recently visited Taft and his
visit was mysterious. That pressure
is being brought to bear on the pres
ident to give him a hint that Bal
linger should retire is the general im
pression. It Is reported that Crane
told Ballinger he must resign shortly
after the report of the nvestigating
committee at Minneapolis on Septem

return to Seattle to practice lav.

New York. Aug. 2. The national

which met yesterday to consider the
protest of Chas. M. Hamilton against
Glenn H. Curtlss, announced that a
resolution had been adopted denying
the sanction of the club to any avi
ation meet not open to all qualified
and licensed aviators. Although no
mention is made of either Curtiss or
Hamilton, the resolution is interpret
ed generally as a direct slap at Cur
tiss. In his protest Hamilton charged
that representations made by Curtiss
to the management of tne coming
Harvard aviation meet had caused
the manneemenv to refuse his entry.
Tills conduct he denounced js un
sportsmanlike and un-American. In
effect, the national council n - rules
that unless Hamilton's entry is ac
cepted the Harvard aviation meet will
not be s'netioned and the records
made there will not be considered of
