Sunday morning , and fifteen minutes
later both man and girl were locked
in their staterooms , Crippen broken in
spirit but mentally relieved by the re-
laxed tension ; the girl , garbed in
boy's clothing , sobbing hysterically.
They ; were no longer "Rev. John Rob-
inson and son , " as booked at Ant-
werp July 20. After a brief delay the
Montrose continued her 160-mile jour-
ney up the river towards Quebec ,
where jail awaits the prisoners.

of an unknown woman , believed to
have been his actress wife. The girl
is held as an accessory.

tion of the country , " said the sheriff.
"Men were going about killing negroe '
as fast as they could find them , and
so far as I have been able to ascertain
without any real causes. These ne
groes have done no wrong that I could i
discover. There was just a hot-headed
gang hunting them down and killing
them.

controversy over a promissory note. "

GOV. , HARMON HASTENS HOME
Riots Brought on by Car Strike Re
suits In Mayor Yielding Authority
to Brig. Gen. McMaken-Street
Traffic Stops.
Columbus , O. - Officers of the Ohio
National Guard Thursday virtually
took over the government of this city
and the streets bristle with armed
men marshaled to prevent any out-
break. Governor Harmon is hurrying
to the city to take , charge of the
menacing situation in the street car
'
strike. 1
The call for troops was made by
Mayor Marshall and Sheriff Sartain
as the result of continuous rioting
throughout the city for the last few
days , following the walkout of union
motormen and conductors on the Co-
lumbus Street railway , who demand
recognition , of their union.
Governor Harmon is hastening here
from his summer home in Michigan
and the state arsenal is guarded by a
detail 'from battery D , armed with riot
guns. Orders have been sent to fifty
of the best sharpshooters in the Na-
tional Guard , now at Camp Perry to
rush to this city. The entire first
brigade of 2,000 men , including the
Second , Third and Sixth regiments , is
either here or on the road. Brig. Gen.
William V. McMaken of Toledo is in
command.
Mayor Marshall has issued a formal
proclamation placing } General McMa
ken In full charge of the situation and
has authorized him to make arrests or
to take any other action he thinks
best.
best.Until
Until the governor's arrival here
no attempt will be made to oper-
ate street cars , which were withdrawn
following attempts to operate with im
ported strike breakers. That no cars
be run was the demand of the military
authorities , who refused to put the
city under martial law and who de-
clared the troops were " here only to
be prepared to ' cope with any situation
which may arise. They refuse to
-
guard cars now.
Two score men have been hurt in
the week. All saloons are closed by
order of the mayor. : .
SAYS CHIEFS SPLIT LOOT
Former Car Inspector of Illinois Cen-
tral Road Testifies In $1,500-
000 Fraud Case.
Chicago.-"High officials of the Illi-
nois Central railroad , who were in-
terested in car-repairing plants , en-
tered into an agreement among them-
selves to divide profits grafted from
the railroad. These profits amounted
to as high as 40 per cent of the total
amount paid by the railroad com-
pany. " .
That is the charge made on the
witness stand Thursday by Harold A.
Sims , in his testimony concerning the
grafting from the Illinois Central rail-
road. His testimony was given be-
fore Master in Chancery Mason , in the
suit of the railroad to recover $300,000
from the Memphis Car company. Al-
though he was on the "inside" and
knew in detail the method used to rob
the railroad , Sims says that he real-
ized only $750 for his share in the
work.
Illinois Central lumber was used to
repair Illinois Central cars , and then
the road was charged for the lumber ,
was another of his charges.
Cars loaded with material were
shipped to the Memphis Car Repair
company and it was the practise to
charge for repairs made on the cars
'whether ' they were made or not , the
witness said , and more often they
were not.
CRIPPEN IS ON MONTROSE
Wireless Message Says Alleged Wife
Slayer Is Aboard Steamer-
Arrest Probable.
Montreal , Que.-According to a
wireless message received here Thurs
day from Montrose , Dr. Hawley H.
Crippen , the London suspect , is on
board the steamship.
This is the first word received from
the Montrose since it left European
waters.
Throughout the night the Montrose
was supposed to be rapidly nearing
the zone of wireless communication
with the station at Belle Isle. Owing
to the steamer's type of apparatus
this would be within 150 miles of the
coast.
At Father Point , Que. , an officer of
the : Dominion police , Chief Constable
Guavreau , will go on board the Mont-
rose when she pauses for a pilot and

BRY1 LOSES OPTION FIGHT
- - - - -
NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS , REFUSE
TO ADOPT LEADER'S PLANK.
fiommoner's Battle Against Liquor
Vain , Despite Great Speech on
the Convention Floor.
Grand Island , Neb.-Nebraska Dem-
ocrats Tuesday night delivered a blow
to William 'J. Bryan when by a de
cisive vote they registered their un-
belief ) n his county local option plan.
Mr. Bryan had labored hard in the
committee in " an effort to have his
ideas written into the platform , and
after being defeated In the committee ,
he' appealed to the convention and in
this appeal made the speech of his
life to a convention already instructed
against him.
He pleaded to his old friends ,
begged them not to repudiate him un
less they found him untrue to Demo-
cratic principles ; he threatened state
wide prohibition if county option was
defeated ; he denounced those Demo-
crats whom he charged with being
subservient to the liquor interests ;
and he cajoled the uninstructed dele-
gates to vote for him and his plans.
And then standing aside he listened
to the most bitter words directed at
him that he has ever heard.
No attack made against Bryan by
Republicans or others , in any of his
campaigns , was ever so bitter as were
the attacks made by Bryan's old
friends against their old leader. As a
member of the committee on resolu-
tions , Mr. Bryan returned a minority
report on the county option plank.
This minority report , signed only by
Bryan himself , was short and to the
point , saying simply : "We favor coun-
ty option as the best method of deal-
ing with the liquor question. "
It was in defense of this report that
Mr. Bryan made the speech which will
be called the greatest effort of his
life. i
life.The i
The sentiment towards Bryan was I
shown when , for more than an hour ,
the convention called upon different
leaders to address it , but not a single
one was made for Mr. Bryan. When
the final vote was taken , Bryan's
plank was turned down 645 to 195
and a direct anti-county option plank
inserted.
REPORTS AMERICANS SAFE
Commander HInes Sent to Nicaragua
to Protect U. S. Citizens , Sees
No Danger.
Washington.-American lives and
property in northeastern Nicaragua
were asserted to be in no danger
according to the state department's
version of a dispatch from Comman-
der Hines of the gunboat Dubuque.
The dispatch was sent after the re
turn to Bluefields of the gunboat Ta-
coma from a trip along the coast north
of that port , where danger was rb -
ported to Americans.
The state department claims to be
entirely ignorant officially of the pres-
ence In New York of Dr. Modeste Bar-
rios and Dr. Sebastina Salinas , com-
missioners from Madriz , to restore
friendly relations with the United
States.

STRIKE AFFECTS 28,000 MEN
Chicago Trades Council Calls Out All !
Building Workmen Except Car-
penters-37 Structures Affected.
Chicago.-A general strike of build-
ing trades was decided upon at a con-
ference of thirty-seven unions Thurs-
day , which met in a final effort to ob-
tain a settlement with the Otis Ele-
vator company.
It is said the strike order will af-
fect 28,000 men. The only union not
affected by the order is that of the
carpenters.
The cause 01 t'i t I ) strike is the re
fusal of the Otis Elevator company to
remove machinists from elevator con-
struction work , the American Federa-
tion of Labor having held this line of
work to belong strictly to elevator
constructors.
It is said the company has contracts
on thirty-seven buildings , now in the
course of construction here , and that ,
work will be stopped on all of them.
Following the strike order , business
agents representing their respective
unions hurried to buildings in which
the Otis company has contracts for
elevator construction , for the purpose
of notifying the men of the decision
taken at the conference.

nounces Tariff Bill as "Master-

gle in the resolutions committee , the
Democratic state convention Thurs-

to the people.
Jerry B. Sullivan of Des Moines ,
former candidate for governor , acted
as temporary chairman , . and scored
Theodore Roosevelt unmercifully in

the tariff bill as a "masterpiece of in-
justice involving remorseless exac-
tions from the many to enrich the few. "
The nomination of Claude R. Porter
for governor was ratified.
