sympathetic Inspector Dew has re

wrongdoing. She has been visited by
women, who have treated her most
kindly.
RECEIVES CABLEGRAMS
At the same time Miss Leneve is
being bombarded with cablegrams from
members of her family in London urg-
ing her to tell all she knows. The
pressure of friendliness is being exerted
on her, while there is no prospect thai
she will come in contact with DR.
Crippen or even see him for a long
time.
The purpose of all this is obvious
when it is considered that so far as
is generally known, Scotland Yard has
been unable to identify the dismem-

Crippen home in London. The police

they would accept her statement after
she had been warned that anything
she said might be used against her at
her trial.
Thus far, even in her moments OF
extreme shock and weakness, the police
assert, Crippen's companion has re-
mained loyal to him so far as her ST.
lence is loyalty.
Crippen today was permitted to re-
ceive the first message that has
reached him from the outside since his
arrest.
DENY INTERVIEWS
THE nolice have denied all requests
to see and speak with the prisoner and
threw up their hands in amazement al
the idea of a newspaper interview
Today, however, Judge Anglers author
ized the prison governor, Joseph MORN,
to visit Crippen and give him verbal
message asking if he would make a
public statement. The magistrate i'm

might say must. be put by him in writ

NEW CARS READY
ON ANGELS FLIGHT
Improvement of Incline Road to
Facilitate Travel for the
DWeIers on Hill
BEAUTIFUL ARCHED STATION
Mayor and Council to Attend the
Ceremony When Work
Is Completed
BEAUTIFUL ARCHED STATION

Reconstruction work on Angel S
fight is far enough along to give an
idea of what its appearance will be
three weeks hence, when the remodel
ing will be completed. a large arched
waiting station will be erected at the
foot of the incline. 1t has not been
started, but the other work is well ad-
vanced. This morning the two new
cars will be at the service of the hill
dwellers, making regular trips.
The cars are finished in mahogany
with a seating capacity of 80 and a
carrying capacity of about 45. Large
oval glass windows on each side of
the cars give an artistic effect and
the little open air smoker seats on
the upper end of each is another new
feature for the comfort of the passen-
gers.
The waiting station at the upper end
of the incline, although not completed,
is already a beautiful structure. Be
meath it's roof, which rests on a series
of arches that in turn rest on massive
pillars, the waiting passengers will be
sheltered. Many sockets for electric
lamps have been provided in each of
the arches and the electrical display
will be brilliant. The arch to be con-
structed at the bottom of the incline
will also be electrically equipped.
Col. J. w. Eddy, the owner, has ar
ranged to hold an opening when all
work is completed in three weeks or
a month. Mayor Alexander and all
members of the council will be present.
By next December Angels flight will
have been in operation for ten years
In that time three different types of
cars will have traversed its steel rails.
The track was first laid on a ground
grade, but six years ago Mr.. Eddy in
stalled steel trestles which gave the
incline a more gradual grade and
proved more satisfactory.
About S3,500 passengers are car
ried both ways each day and in or
der to safeguard them from the pos
sibility of a wreck Mr.. Eddy has the
cables changed eVerY six months.

AUNT SIGNS BOND, AND
STUTZKE Is RELEASED

John R. Stutzke, arrested Monday
night on complaint of w. R. Som
mers, his former Wife's husband, Sc
cured his release from the county Jail
late yesterday afternoon on $1,000 cash
bail, this amount having been depos-
ited by his aunt, Mrs. Rose Merriam.
Stutzke was arraigned before JUS
tlce Baird yesterday afternoon on a
charge of threatening the life of Som
mers and his preliminary examination
was set for next Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Sommers, who divorced Stutzke
and who disappeared after the trou-
BILE between the prisoner and SOmmers,
put in an appearance at court yester-
day and tearfully offered to go on his
bail bond with the proyiso that he
should not bother her husband or her
self following his release.
AS there is a homestead on Mrs.
Sommers' property the court would not
allow her to sign the bond. The Som
mers accuse Stutzke of having threat
ened their lives several times.

SECRETARIES DENY THEY
REFUSE TO MEET PEOPLE

JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 2.-Attorney
General Wickersham today denied the
report sent out from Ketchikan last
week that he and Secretary Nagel had
refused to receive delegation of citi-
zens who called to discuss political
affairs. Mr.. Wickersham said that
he and Mr.. Nagel had come to Alaska
to meet the people and ascertain the
facts in the local situation and were
ready to meet any delegations that
desired to confer with them.
At a meeting last night, after Mayor
Valentine had attacked the federal Of
ficials in Alaska, Attorney General
Wickersham said the men were honest
and had the confidence of President
Taft. He said the formulation of wild
charges, unsubstantiated by facts, is
futile.

CONGRESSMAN SEES WAVE
OF POPULISM IN KANSAS

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Aug. q
Returns from the First congressional
district are very incomplete. Con-
gresham D. r. Anthony says he still
hopes to win.
Asked for a statement by the Asso-
ciated Press, Mr.. Anthony said at mid
night: 'It looks like Kansas has been
engulfed by another wave Of Populism.
The campaign of misrepresentation
waged by the Kansas City Star and
the Topeka Capital has blinded the
people of Kansas and given the dema-
gogues a temporary victory in most Of
the congressional districts. The First
district has never yet gone Populistic
or Democratic in the political history Of
Kansas, and I am hopeful that when
the full returns are in a majority will
be found for the regular Republicans"

DEMOCRAT WILL WIN BY
REPUBLICAN PARTY SPLIT
Clint Price Expects to Be Elected
to Congress

DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 2.-Politics
was in active eruption here today pre-
liminary to the Republican state con-
Vention tomorrow. Tonight a dark red
line may be seen dividing the stand
patter faction and the progressives.
Certain Democrats, including Clint
Price, Democratic candidate for con-
gress in the Seventh (Des Moines) dis
trict, and others were to be observed
giOating over the red line
"All you've got to do is to get out
the standpat vote, Clint, and your ad-
dress will be Washington, d. c." OBJ
served a friend of the Democratic can
didate.
"All I've got to do is to get out the
Democrats" retorted Price. "The stand
patters will be at the polls if they have
to walk backwards, voting, if not for
Price, against the progressive candi-
date"
The foregoing is not quoted as a pre-
diCtion, but as a specimen of comment
from persons who closely observed the
days developments.
On one side of the line mentioned the
standpatters gathered several hundred
strong today and decided to insist on
a plank indorsing President Taft and
the, official acts of his administration
and of the recent congress, and also to
indorse the Iowa insurgent delegation
only in so far as it has been regular; ;
in other words, supported the admins
tratiOn tariff and railroad legislation.
ENDORSEMENT OF TAFT
On the other side, the progressive
leaders conferred TO the general effect
that Taft should be mentioned only to
the extent that he has endeaVored to
carry out the pledges of the national
Republican platform.
The standpatters decided to insist on
an Endorsement of Governor Carroll
The insurgents threw out sop for har-
mony by agreeing to an Endorsement of
the state administration without men
tioning the governors name.
Both meetings were enthusiastic. At
the standpat meeting ex-Congressman
Lacey sounded the keynote.
Let us fight" he said, land if the
steam roller passes over us, let us go
down to defeat carrying the flag of true
Republicanism with us, while the ma
jority who vote us down bear the odium
of having refused specific Endorsement
OF a great Republican president who
has carried out every promise of the
Republican party. We must remember
two things-frst, that it is necessary
that Iowa go Republican, 'and, second
and most important, it is necessary
that the Republican party go Repub-
lican."
Among those at the insurgent meet
ing were Senator Cummins, former
Judge Jesse A. Miller, Attorney Cen
eral Byers, Warren Garst, the de-
feated progressive candidate for COVER
nor, and a host of others.
