ACTIVE SEARCH
FOR DR.. CR|PPEN
PARIS DETECTIVES BELIEVE The
SUSPECT is HEADED FOR
ANpoRA.
UNDER NAME OF TARBOT
He Is Believed to Have Been at Var
nets les Bains Sunday--Won,-
an Who Fled With Him
May Have Left Him.

Paris, July 21--The police at Ner-
nets les Bains. little French
watering place at the foot Of sthe
Pyrenees, are positive that DR.. Haw-
ley IL Crippen, widely sought by the
London police. was In their city last
Sunday. A vigorous search is being
made.
A procurer there telegraphed today
to Paris confirming the identity OF
the man who arrived there under the
name of Tarbot Sunday as Crippen.
He believes Crippen has crossed into
Spain.
Detectives here believe the suspect
is headed for Andorra, o little and al
most forgotten republic nesting In
the foothills of the Pyrenees. Once
in this country, it is said, extradition
would be almost impossible. Andora
has sometimes served as a refuge for
persons who have committed crime.
M. Sebille, who is directing the
search in France for Crippen and his
typist, Ethel Clara Leneve, who is
supposed to have left London in his
company, opposes the theory that the
woman who killed herself at Bourges
July 10, was Miss Leneve, saying
the dead woman did not resemble
Miss Leneve. Should the suicide
prove to be the woman. II would give
consistency to the story told by the
train guard that couple came
through to Paris on his train from
Dieppe. Here they are supposed I'd
have separated.
Another theory IL that the couple
went BY steamer 10 Marseilles ans
separated there.

Lieutenant Hawes had gone forward
from the breach to examine the
range wheel when the charge ex.
ploded. He was only stunned.
In the thick, heavy smoke the
scene was indescribable. Eight men
were killed outright, their bodies
lying scattered about. Under the pail
the wounded writhed and moaned
Prentice and Halves attacked the
flames with their bare hands. Both
carried away bags of powder to pre-
vent further explosion.
Vandusen lay crumpled beneath his
gun, his leg broken in two places. He
was suffering agonies.
See to the men first" he ordered
and propped against the gun carriage
he aided in directing the work of the
rescue party.
Corporal Humphreys and Sergean,
Brinkley also distinguished them
selves, though painfully injured.
'hN SAPioSiou, IL lS DelieNeu, was
caused by carbon monoxide, highl,
|infiammable gas which forms in the
barrels Of large guns and which is
especially dangerous during rapid
firing. The gun crew were trying te
make rapid fire record.
The theory is that new charge
OF powder was hurried into the
breech before the gases, generated BY
the previous shot had time to dissi
pate, and before the breech could bt
closed the powder exploded, blowing
off the block and carrying deatf
