International News SpeciaD

Washington, D. c., Nov. 23.-Champ Clark, the Democratic House leader, announced today that he is opposed to a special session of Congress for the early enactment of corrective tariff legislation. T don't think there is one chance in a thousand of an extra session of Congress" he said. Nobody wants it, he con- tinued, except folks around Wash ington. The president doesn't want it, the congressman do not want it and no one is clamoring for it bu; the hotels. boarding houses and mer- chants of Washington.
 Representative Mann, of Chicago, holds similar views. q can see no advantage in special session for either party and can see no reason why one should be called or forced. l. would be easy to force special session by holding up the approprie- ton bills. Republicans generally are opposing the special session..

Wife Murderer Hanged Yes terday After Being Led

CCHDITION PITIABLE
Passed Restless Night in Prison- History of the Murder of
 Belle ElmOlC. :.
International News Cable)

London, Nov. 23.-Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, was hanged at 9:02 o'clock this morning in the Pentonville pris- on.
 The fog enveloped completely the walls O. the prison where small groups of loungers of the lowest class, including many women, slouch- ed silently awaiting tidings from the bansman.
 One of the evening London papers published the report current yester- day that Dr. Crippen had confessed to the murder of Belle Elmore and that he had written story of the crime. replete with cold and callous details.
 Scotland Yard officials persist in declaring that they know nothing of the alleged confession. and they be- lieve the report to be erroneous.
 Solicitor Newton of Crippen's coun- sel says that so far as he is aware the report is untrue.
 Miss Ethel Leneve, at the request of the prisoner, paid farewell visit to Crippen at Pentonville prison yes- terday afternoon. She reached the place in a closed cab and was ac- companied by an elderly man who re, mained outside.
 Miss Leneve remained for half an hour in the visitors room with the doctor. During her stay the war dens watched the condemned man closely. Denying the confession story, she said:
 T was the last person to see Dr. !. Crippen. So far as my knowledge ex- tends he has not made such a state- ment.'
 Condition Pitlable.
 The hanging Jas in Pentonville prison, where the prisoner had been confined since his return to this country, following his arrest in Can ada. The condemned man who throughout his trial and even until Home Secretary Churchill had refus- ed petition for his reprieve, had maintained an imperturbable calm ness, presented pitiabie appearance as he was literally fed through the short corridor from lis cell to the sosffold.
 The mental anguish had been too great to be covered up by outward brsvado, and it Was broken man the wardens were obliged to assist up the steps to the drop. upon which once reached, the shirking figure all but collapsed.

 The first report that Crippen had met his fate calmly was tontradicted by persons who we:s present in the prison during the mans last hour. The doomed man passed a restless night, and appeared hasgard and worn when awakened trori his fitful s'umbers. He seemed to lose all fortitude as the end approached.

History of the Crime.


 Crippen for the murder of his wife Belle Elmore, is the last chapter of one of the most brutal and dramatic murder cases that has engaged the attention of the people of both con- tinents for many years.
 The cold blooded manner in which the murderer committed the deed, the ingenious schemes he devised for covering up his tracks, and the thrill ling capture of himself and his com- panion on the high seas through the aid of wireless telegraphy, all com- bined to make it case without pre- , cedent.
 It was in Philadelphia that Dr. Hawley Harven Crippen, widower, met the prepossessing music hall singer, Cora Makomeski, of Brooklyn, N. Y., known to the public as Belle Elmore, and pressed his suit to such advantage that they were speedily married.
 In 1905, the doctor and his bride moved to England, where he took a house at No. 39 Hilldrop Crescent, North London. They continued to live at the Hilldrop Crescent residence to all outward appearance, happy and contented couple until the advent of Miss Ethel Clare Le Neve, who was employed as the doctors stenographer early in the year of 1908
 The doctors friendship for Miss Le Neve aroused the suspicious of his wife. Numerous quarrels are reported by the neighbors, increasing in frequency and violence until Feb ruary, 1910, when Belle Elmore mys- teriously disappeared.
 Advertised Her Death.
 The doctor early in February adver- tised his wife's death in American theatrical papers as taking place in London. while he told the former act ress many London friends that she had passed away while on "a visit to the west, trusting to public indiffer- ence to hide the falsehood.
 Her relatives, however, refused tc believe that she had died in the man- ner described and further suspicious were aroused when 1t became known that Miss Le Neve was making her home with the doctor. Mrs. Frederick Ginnet, of Newark, N. J., Belle FL more's dearest friend began an in- vestigation on her own account and learned that Crippen had told other stories about the absence or his wife.
 She communicated with F. G. Nash theatrical manager and friend of Belle Fillmore, who was about to re- turn to England and laid her susp.c- ions before him. He, too, thought it strange that there should be so many stories current regarding the actress death and promised to make a thorough inquiry as soon as he reach ed London.
 Investigation Begins. In June he called upon Crippen and offered his condolences. The doctor was nervous and appeared to be much depressed. He sobbed bitterly when speaking of his bereavement. At first he told MT. Nash that his wife died in Los Angeles. but when ques- toned more closely changed the town to San Francisco. He declared that he had received his wife's ashes from western creeamatory, but could not remember the name or location of the establishment. In short he became so confused in his story that MT. Nash S suspicious were confirmed and he

 El Paso Texas, Nov. 23.-With Mexican Federal troops in absolute control of every town iii Chihuahua and Durango and little places and wild reports Revolutionary activity in Goahlla and elsewhere, there is a feeling here tonight and throughout Northern Mexico that the government has amply demonstrated it's ability to handle the present Revolution and handle it well.
 Mexican Central trains are arriving from the Mexican capital on time and show no evidence of having been mo- tested. Passengers are travelling as usual and the governor of Fianolo, the Hon. Diego Redo, was a passen- ger today. He does not consider things serious. enough to hurry home and spent a day here pleasure seek ing.
 With the first heat of the excite ment over people are bringing in saner reports of the fight and all agree that Terreon was never att tackled as at first reported, and the death list was not so heavy at Gomez Palacio, Tarral, Jiminez, Madero and , other places as at first stated. There is no truth i'll reports that Chihuahua is being attacked. The wires have been opened to all the other disturb ed places all day and messages have been passing through very freely. The so-called Revolutionists took to the mountains when seasoned troops arrived, and nobody here today believes the Revolution is anything serious. az-.z
 Many refuges arrived today. There was not so much excitement as yes- terday. They brought news that Fed eral troops had taken all the towns without any further fighting. Persons who have been past Revolutionary fiascos' in Mexico now look upon the present one with a similar nature and say it will mean Guerilla fighting in the mountains and then it will be ended. ,~
 There is still great excitement all over Mexico, however and many do not feel secure.
 Details arrived today of the fight ing at Gomez Palacio, when passen- gers brought newspapers from there. It was not nearly as severe as at | first reported and the loss was not so heavy. There was no fighting at Tor reon although several citizens are re-. ported to have been shot for refus- l ing to stand under guard against tue expected advance of the Rebels. Colonel Yetez was one of the sol- diers killed in the fight with the Reb- els at Tarral. Telegrams from Tar rel tonight say that all Americans have reopened their places for busi- ness and confident of restoration of peace. Confirmation is given to the report that two Americans were kill ed in Tarral. One named Lawton They were shot accidentally by stray bullets.
