Anthony said that Stubbs had been
sending stenographers to both his Troy
and Hiawatha meetings to get his
speech. The congressman refused to
make any extended statement regard
ing the governor today. but said that
at his Topeka meeting on the 26th he
would handle the governor without
gloves and prove to the satisfaction of
any fair man that Stubbs was an enc
my of Taft, was not Republican and
was the greatest demagoeue and point
icaI faker ever seen in Kansas.
Congressman Anthony visited Nor
tonville this morning and shook hands
with citizens and at Cummings, Mon
roVia and Pennington he met num-
ber of voters At Pardee twenty-five
neighboring farmers had gathered and
the congressman made talk to them
under the shade of the old apple tree.

CAN FIND NO BONES.
Sex of Crippen Murder Victim Is Yet
Undetermined.

London, July 19.-The rumor cir
culated in the United States that DR..
Hawley r. Crippen had been captured
at Canterbury, England, is groundless.
Scotland Yard found what is be-
lieved to be clue to the disposition
of the bones. which with the flesh un-
earthed in the cellar in Hildrop Cres-
cent, once formed the body of Belle
Elmore, the American actress, wife of
DR.. Crippen.
AS the result of a tireless search
among the friends and known ac-
quaintances of Ethel Clara Leneve, the
typist who disappeared recently with
DIR. Crippen, the detectives found a
woman who said that Miss Leneve had
been her friend and had talked to her
in confidence. The typist, the woman
said, had spoken to her of mysterious
visits paid by DR.. Crippen to the neigh
borhood of Regents park.
cumstances by the police is that the
woman may have been carried in sew
eral parcels to Regents park and de-
posted in the Regents canal. The au-
thorities ordered that the canal be
dragged.
This development has strengthened
the belief of Miss Leneve's friends that
If Mrs. Crippen was murdered the
woman who is said to have won her
husbands affections was innocent or
any knowledge of the crime.
At the inquest yesterday, the physi-
clans who examined the dismembered
body testified that none of the bones
had been found and that their analy-
sis showed that the flesh had been
skilfuliy carved from the skeleton.
Much Evidence Lacking.
1t has been deemed of great impor-
tance to discover the missing members,
including the head, hands and feet. in
order to complete the body and thus
esta blish legally the case of murder
With the evidence at hand the ex-
perts have not as. yet been able to de-
termine so much as the sex of the vic
tim.
Today the authorities offered re-
ward of $3.50 for evidence leading to
the arrest of DIR. Crippen
Reports of Crippen and his woman
companion having been seen in diner
ent parts of the country are frequent
" received by the police and there are
occasional rumors that the two nave
been arrested Thus far Superintend-
ent Froest of Scotland Yard, who
is directing the search, does not ad-
nit any important discovery has been
made
There is still hope that the fugitive
pair may be found aboard the Red
Star liner Kroonland, which sailed
from Dover on the night following the
disappearance of the doctor and which
is due at New York tonight. The ports
of France are picketed with detec-
tiyes. So closely have the lines been
drawn that the British officials believe
it will be impossible for DIR. Crippen
to flee this country without detec1on
The impression is strong in police
circles that the doctor would not haz-
ard recognition on a long trip. His ap-
prehension at some point in England
or within this city at any moment
would not cause great surprise.

FRISCO MAY HAVE
BIC STRIKE
Gigantic Fight Between
Capital and Labor Starts
September /.

Seattle, Aug. 26-From private
advices received today by the lead
ers in the machinists' strike on the
Sound, it seems likely that the final
touch in the fight between Coast
capital and labor will come Septem-
Der 1, with the strike of the thous-
ands of men employed in the metal
trades in San Francisco.
In every city from Los Angeles to
Vancouver, B. c., the metal workers
are out except in San Francisco. I'm
til the last 4S hours it was not an
ticipated that there would be any
trouble at San Francisco because of
the disaster that would result from
a general strike there, but reports
to strike leaders here today show
that the Metal Trades Association in
San Francisco has refused the de-
mandS of the workers there and I'M
less settlement is made before Sep
tember1, every shipyard, foundry and
machine shop in California will be
tied up, as practically all of them
are in the Northwest.
From the start of the metal work
ers' strike in June San Francisco has
been the backbone of the fight, the
unions there having contributed
more than 100000 to date to the Los
Angeles strikers. Z
Information also comes that if the
metal workers are forced out in San
Francisco without being given a
chance for conference with the en-
ployers, that every union resource on
the Coast will be used to make the
fight a general one.
Until the San Francisco problem is
settled no conclusion will be reached
in any other strike in the West. and
if it is settled it is understood that
one of the agreements will be that
San Francisco employers exert them
selves to bring their fellow capital
lists along the Coast to an agreement
to confer with labor and to have ar
bitration generally adopted in the
conflict

Two Boys From Sound on
Southern Pacific Struck
With Bludgeons.

Redding, Calf, Aug. 26.-George
Waller was probably murdered and
Harry Goble beaten to insensibility
last night on the roof of a passenger
coach attached to south-bouni
Southern Pacific train. Both men
were from Tacoma.
The tragedy was revealed on the
arrival of the train here The men
were taken to a local hospital, but
Waller died at the door. Both had
been beaten by -bludgeon, each re-
ceiving half a dozen blows 3,
Coolies story is that they climbed
on the car at Delta and went to
sleep, holding onto a ventilator pipe.
Both became sick, probably from
something they had eaten. He said
he heard Waller this morning. Then
Goble says something hit him and he
does not remember any more.
The train men give out the theory
that the men were struck by the
roof of the tunnel near Copley.
Officers here believe they were
beaten after being discovered on the
cars. Goble, who will recover, says
both are 16 years old, but they look
to be 81. Goble worked as plumber
in Bellingham and later as grocery
clerk in Tacoma Waller was a tel
ephone repairer and formerly a stu
dent at st. Martins College, Olympia

LITTLE TOWN
Of maritime
BURNED
Entire Business Section De-
stroyed Last Night by
the Flames.

Word was received in this city
this morning of the almost entire
destruction of the little town of
Maritime, located in Grant county.
Fire started during the night and be-
fore it was controlled it had wiped
up two of he principal blocks. Out
side of the residence district all that
was left of maritime this morning
were two hotels and one small block.
The fire started from the explo-
sion of lamp in the Maccabee hall.
So swift was the awful fire demon
in it's work that the citizens are
hardly able to realize the calamity
which has overtaken them. When
the fire was at it's height every able
bodied man in town worked like a
Trojan to stop the flames, and when
the depot and the grain warehouses
seemed to be in the path their efforts
were doubled, which saved the build
ings.
loss is about $4,000, and it is not
believed that more than 10 per cent
of the property owners carried in
surance.
The fire was under control at
late hour last night, and unless
heavy wind arises to scatter the en-
bers no further damage is expected.
The firms which were burned out
are among the substantial concerns
of the town, and it is believed that
all will rebuild again on much lar
ger basis than before the fire.
Hartline is located just over the
line from Douglas county-about
twenty miles north of Coulee City.
1t is a prosperous town and has been
considered a good business point.
