protection Of the BEACH. against the in
vasions of sand .scows from milwaukee,
and Chicago and when Mayor NJ j.
Scholey lett for the East this afternoon
he carried with him formed complaint
on the part of the City of Kenosha to
be laid before the Secretary of War
of the United States Government. The
complaint demands that an order be
issued by the War department revok-
ing the license of the sand scoW Cd
H. Roberts of Racine which was pre-
viously licensed by the government to
remove sand from the lake at various
points along the Wisconsin shore line.
The order and petition was prepared
by Attorney Stewart representing the
city on Friday and it states in full the
fight that is being made on the part
of the city Of Kenosha and other cities
for the protection Of the lake shore
and protests in no uncertain words
against the action Of the government
in granting permits which will make
it possible for the. sail1ng masters of
sand scoWs to injure the beach along
these cities. In the petition full
statement is made of the arrest and
trial of Captain Arthur Warrender of
the Roberts and the opinion of the
Judge Of the Municipal Court in hold
ing him guilty is made a part Of the
petition.
The petition will be presented to the
Secretary of War by Mayor Scholey
on next Tuesday and while it is not
expected that any immediate decision
will be given in the matter. it is ex-
pected that the Kenosha petition will
open the way for the government to
start an investigation of the workings
of the sand scoWs under government
PCLh11GS' Lie p6IulItS dI6 ISSUED ny
the government with the understanding
that the removal of the sand along the
beach is to be for the aid of naviga-
ton. The petition demands that in
issuing such permits the government
take into consideration the rights of
the individual cities along the lake as
we'll as any plans it may have to pre-
mote navigation. ot.r
The Attorneys for Warrender have
already taken steps to appeal the Keno
sha case to the Supreme Court Of the
state and it is understood that pending
decision on this appeal there will
be no more sand taken from the beach
along the limits of the city of Kenosha.
The action of the War department
on the Kenosha petition will be watched
with interest by residents of all the
lake shore cities as the decision in
this case will set a precedent for future
actions. .-

CHICAGO, July 1S.-The woman shot
last Friday by Charles w. RigdOn, just
before he met death from a bullet
wound said to be self inflicted, was
learned today TO be Mrs. Emma
Young, stepdaughter of an attache of
the Norwegian legation at Washing
ton. The young woman known as
Mary Wilson, who was with Mrs.
Young at the time of the shooting, is
Miss Theresa Trojman, step-sister of
the wounded woman, and who until
three weeks ago was an inmate of
Catholic convent near Washington,
D. c.
John c. Fetzer, wealthy real estate
man of this city, was drawn more
closely into the tragedy by statement
of Mrs. Young, who declared Rigdon
had visited the real estate office two
days before the shooting, drawn re-
volver and threatened to kill Fetzer.
Following this announcement an un-
verified report was circulated that
Mrs. Annie Hawbecker Rigdon, widow
of the dead man, would file a charge Of
murder against Mrs Young and file
civil suit to regain stocks and bonds
now held by Mrs. Young and which
Mrs. Rigdon alleges belonged to Rig
don. An attorney has been engaged
by persons whose identity is surround
ed by mystery to defend Mrs. Young
and her step-sister.
A complete confession of her iden-
tity and of circumstances leading up
to the shooting was made today by
Mrs. Young, who still is dangerously
ill.,
She declared she had been in the
employ of Rigdon as agent to sell stock
for the last six years. In that time
she made several trips with him. Her
relations with Rigdon recently had
been severed, NAe declared, because of
his intemperafSs. Rigdon is charged
by Inspector Levin with having visited
Fetzer's office with the purpose of
killing the real estate dealer and the
two women. According to Levin, Rig
don learned that Mrs. Young had writ
ten letters to Fetzer and demanded
that Fetzer produce the letters and ex-
plain them to him. The letter ad-
dressed to Fetzer was found in Rig
uon's pocket a4.er his death is said
to have been taken by Rigdon from a
bunch of unopened letters in the desk
of the real estate man.

CLEWS vALUELESS
IN CRIPPEN CASE
Coroner Postpones Inquest Over
Remains Found in the
London House
Associated Pressl

LONDON, July 1S.-Notwithstandin
circumstantial reports that DR.. Hawley
H. Crippen has been seen at widely
scattered points, all the supposed clews
have proved valueleSs and the London
police are still without any tangible
evidence that would be likely to lead
to his arrest.
The coroner's inquest began today
over the dismembered body which was
found buried in the cellar of Crippen's S
Hilldorp Crescent residence, and which
the police have associated with the dis
appearance of Crippens wife, Belle Ell
more. The testimony today proved of
small service in establishing the iden-
tity of the mass of flesh, which was so
mutilated as to make it impossible even
for the experts to fix the sex of the
victim. After several witnesses had
been examined relative to the finding
of the body, the domestic relations of
Dr. Crippen and his wife, the occur
renee at the Crippen house on the night
of January 81, when Belle Elmore was
last seen alive, and the interrogations
to which Crippen later was subjected
by friends of the singer, the inquest
was adjourned for one month.
John e. Nash, theatrical manager
who first brought the matter to the
attention of Scotland Yard on his re-
turn here from the United States, was
one of the more important witnesses.
Mr.. Nash, said that at the request
of friends in America he took up the
matter of the actress death and in
terviewed DR.. Crippen. The doctor,
he said, was unable to give the exact
place in California where Belle Ell
more died, although he previously an
nounced that his wife died in that
state. Neither could Crippen, accord
ing to the witness, produce certifi-
cate of death, although he said he had
his wife's ashes locked in his safe.
Scotland Yard officers are of the
opinion that Crippen and Ethel Leneve,
his former stenographer, and believed
to be his companion when he disap-
peared from his home on July 8, may
be aboard the steamer Kroonland
which is due at New York tomorrow

MANY THRILLED At BULL
FIGHT IN TIA JUANA
Signor Robes, Spanish Toreador,
Gives High-CIaSs Entertain
ment-TWo Beasts Slain

Tia Juana, in northern Mexico, flf-
teen miles from San Diego. proved the
Mecca Sunday for a large number of
persons from Los Angeles, who made
the trip solely for the purpose of wit
Messing the much heralded bull fights.
Signor Enrique Robles, real Spanish
toreador, was the particular drawing
card. Signor Robles is not as blood
thirsty apparently as his diploma from
the king of Spain would suggest. But
he is picturesque, and in the role of a
real toreador performed graciously, and
to such as do not demand a great flow
of blood his performance was credit
able. The killing of the two bulls in
the ring Sunday was left to two mata-
dors. Signor Robles confined his work
to exciting the animals and giving
performance of agility in evading the
rushes Of the angered creatures. The
American sport spirit probably enjoys
performances of that sort more than a
contest that merely ends in fatality.
One of Robes matadorS manifested
nimbleneSs of an order that would
prove a drawing card at a circus.
Armed with nothing but long pole he
approached a bull that appeared to be
in the spirit of conflict. AS the animal
lowered it's head and rushed toward
him the matodor placed the pole in
front of 1t and in jiffy vaulted clear
over the BILL. This act was repeated
several times, and always was well
applauded.
The last act of the day consisted in
the roping of bulls, in which some of
the Tia Juana Mexicans took part.
This showed how completely bull is
at the mercy of two horsemen who
know how to use the lasso.
A number of pewspapermen, theatri-
cal men and automobile dealers made
the trip in autos, leaving Los Angeles
at 430 o'clock Sunday morning. arriv-
ing at San Diego at noon. This party
underwent the discontinue of encoun-
tering one of the freak showers that
have visited Southern California this
summer. The rainfall was along the
ocean shore, just south of San Juan
Capistrano. Aside from drenching the
autoists, it made the roads slippery.
One car narrowly escaped slipping on
a turn, in which case it would have
gone down a gulch. But the occupants
jumped out, and by man-force alone
saved the machine.
At Tia Juana this party was enter
tanned by Signor Robles at Spanish
dinner, given at Hotel Nacional and
later had the choice seats at the ring
side.

WOMAN DROWNED WHEN
WATER SWEEPS CANYON
Much Damage Is Reported in
Nevada from Recent Storms

CARSON, New, July 18.-During a
cloudburst in Woodfords canyon thirty
miles south of this city, last evening
Miss Meva Parks, daughter of David
Parks, a prominent stockman of west
ern Nevada, was drowned. With some
companions she was driving down the
canyon when a torrent of water swept
the team down the mountain side. Mr..
Brockliss, one of the party, rescued
his wife and two small children, but
Miss Parks went down stream with
the team. Her body was found a mile
below the scene of the accident. Both
horses were drowned.
Much damage to ranch property is
reported as the result of the unusually
heavy rains that have prevailed during
the last few days. Many bridges,
fluems and headgates have been car
ried away by the rushing waters.
