ACCUSED SLAYER
STILL At LARGE
Scotland Yard Sleuths Are Criticized
for Practically Warning Dr..
Crippen, Former Detroiter,
He wal Suspected.

LONDON, July 1.-THE London
police and Scotland yard authorities,
baked in their efforts to apprehend
DR. Hawley Harvey Crippen, are to-
day basing their hopes on the fact
that when Dr. Crippen disappeared he
had only $3.50 In monel, but carried
jewelry belonging to his wife, valued
at $4,000.
The detectives have an accurate
list of this jewelry, which they have
called to all parts OF the world. They
believe Crippen's funds will shortly
be exhausted and that he will be
forced to dispose of some OF the
jewels. The police admit that DR..
Crippen has slipped through their
fingers, though they have not relaxed
their efforts. Scotland Yard and the
London police syste mare actually on
trial before the people in this case,
owing to the bungling manner III
which they handled the preliminary
stages, practically warning DR.. Grip
pen that he was under suspicion. The
papers are particularly severe in their
criticism OF the officials.
1t is pointed out that Crippen
thought himself above suspicion and
had been lured into the belief that his
wife's disappearance had been forgot
ten when two detectives called on him
and requested him TO remain in Lon
don until the case was cleared up.
Crippen readily gave his promise and
then fed.
Although Scotland Yard has asked
the New York police not to let up in
their surveillance of all incoming lin
ers, they are OF the opinion that Grip
pen is still hiding in London and q
house TO house search of all places in
which he is likely to hide has been
ordered. The officials believe, how
ever, that Miss Leneve, his stenogra-
pher, who Is thought to have been i'm
plicated in the murder of Mrs. Crippen
has escaped to France.
Statements made by the girls father
caused the detectives TO cable France
to institute a rigid search for the
typist. 1t is pointed out that the con-
tinental police maintain such a severe
surveillance over foreigners that Grip
pen would have hardly sought refuge
en- the continent Miss Leneve, though
OF English~ birth, Is OF French extrac-
ton and speaks French with the flu
ency Of a native She might for a
time succeed in hiding herself in some
OF the larger cities.

Successful and permanent govern

Hence my advocacy OF popular gov

this condition the state has evolved

Oregon's next step in popular gov

the constitution, in 1902, by vote OF
62.O24 to 5,66S. The people reserve
to themselves the power to propose
laws and amendments to the constitu-
