ETHEL CLARE LENEVE FREE
Girl Companion Of Or. crIppen, Sen
fenced to Death, Acquitted Of
Charge as Accessory.

London-Ethel Clare Leneve was
acquitted Tuesday as an accessory
after the fact in the murder of Belle
Elmore by Dr. Hawley H. Crippen.
1t was for love of Miss Leneve that
DR.. H. H. Crippen, now under death
sentence, murdered his wife. The
crown counsel, Richard Muir, failed
to show that Miss Leneve had knowl-
edge of either the Americans inten-
tion or of the crime itself.
No witnesses were called by the de-
fense. Immediately upon the conclu-
sion of the speech of Miss Leneves
attorney, F. E. Smith, Justice Alver-
stone delivered his charge to the jury
and they retired, returning in twenty
two minutes with a verdict Of ac-
quittal.

VICTORIA, B. C. FIRE SWEPT
Flames In Business District Destroy
Many Fine Structures-Loss
$1,5oo,ooo to 100000.

Victoria, B. C.-Flre, which started
late Wednesday night and burned with
unabated fury, swept through the heart
of the city's business section, wiping
out several of the finest buildings and
causing a loss estimated at $500, 900
to $2,000,0O0. Huge firebrands float
ed on the high wind, which swept
toward the water front, and it was
with great difficulty that the fremen,
aided by the militia and the garrison
at Work Point barracks. kept the
flames from sweeping broad path to
the edge Of the water.
Many blazing embers were carried
out over the bay, endangering the
shipping In the harbor.
Among the buildings burned were
the Victoria Times Office and the Five
Sisters building, a flve-story Office
block. The five-story Pemberton build.
ing and the Driard hotel were threat
ened. both were saved.

Springfield, nl-A decision of the
supreme court of Illinois was handed
down Friday In the tax case Of the
state against the Illinois Central Rail-
road company.
The state won every important con-
tention with the exception that the
opinion holds the accounts prior to
1905 have been accepted by the state
and payment made thereon, and that
therefore they are not subject to fur
ther inquiry.
But for the future settlements and
for the settlement of all accounts
since Governor Deneen came into Of
fee, the court lays down hard and
fast rules for accounting by which
the state will reap a reward of ST.
100000 a year more In taxes than 1t
has been receiving from the Illinois
Central Railroad company.
When the Illinois Central rendered
its first payment under Governor De-
mems administration he accepted the
money with the understanding the ac-
counting upon which the money was
rendered was subject to revision. This
act on the part of the governor, the
court holds, makes all transactions
with the road during his administra-
ton subject to further accounting.
The court remands the case to the
circuit court of La Sale county, with
instructions to proceed in accordance
with the views in its opinion. Unless
the railroad accepts the courts de.
cision as final, the circuit court OF
La Sale county will no doubt appoint
a master to go into all the details OF
the accounting since 1905, and the
case may be prolonged Indefinitely.
At present the railroad Is paying ap-
proximately $1,000,000 to the state
every year.
The suit against the Illinois Central
was filed early in December, 1907, by
the attorney general, following mes
sage from Governor Deneen to the
legislator, declaring that the road
had been 80 manipulating its accounts
as to credit millions of its earnings
to the non-charter lines, not subject
to the tax of Z per cent. Later ac.
counting swelled the amount which
Governor Deneen declared the road
owed to the state from $5,000,000 to
$15,000,000

THREE DAYS ON PICKET LINE
Captain Relates Some Interesting In
eIdents While In Front Of
Petersburg.

Some time about the middle OF Feb
ruary, 1866, was detailed as ofhcer oil
the picket for duty on the line in our
front, extending from the Weldon rail-
road, not far from the Yellow tavern
on our right, to where we Joined the.
First brigade's pickets Of our division
on the left. My detail, as | now re-
member, was about IS men, some from
perhaps every regiment Of our brig
ade, writes G. M. Eichelberg, captain
Company G, Sixth Maryland, in Ma
tional Tribune. When we arrived at
the reserve picket post l was met by
captain of the One Hundred and
Tenth Ohio, who had his reserve in
line to receive US, when he gave me
the number of men on duty. My first
relief was soon detailed, and in charge
Of a sergeant, accompanied by a SER
geant who was to direct the new pick
cts to their posts and take charge OF
the old picket. The captain proceeded
to give me the orders to the officer OF
the picket. He told me of the placing
of videts at night, and the persistent
custom of the Johnny pickets of trad
ing with the boys; and you boys who
ever did picket duty along the front
Of our corps will remember how very
close our picket lines were about that
time. The captain insisted the prac-
tice of trading should be broken up,
but in my mind right there secretly
decided l would have some rebel
news that night, If Johnny asked a
certain videt whom had in mind for
trade. therefore selected from
my old company D, Sixth Maryland,
one John TraVers, whom l knew was
equal to any emergency that might
arise, and had him detailed on first
relief on videt, with instructions to-
trade anything the Johnnies proposed.
Sergt. Joe. Eyler, also Of Company D..
Sixth Maryland, was sergeant Of the
first relief picket, and posted him to
answer promptly any call from any OF
the videts, but to positively disallow
any trading or any communication
from any of the Videts. Travers, OF
course, excepted. There were several
calls to the first relief videts from
the rebel pickets, but all efforts to-
communicate for trade except from
Travers's post was sternly refused.
John answered his man and allowed
him to approach. His proposition was
to trade tobacco for coffee, salt or SOW
belly. John agreed, provided ne
brought him a Richmond paper Of that
days date. Sergt. Eyler took coffee
and salt, and returned later with
fine lot of chewing and smoking to-
bacco, and a copy Of the Richmond
pWhig. We had some interesting read
ing the next day.
| should also state that in the In
structions given me, was told that
every evening, before night. the reb-
els would call to us, saying: "Yanks,
are you ready to chop wood?" That no
arrangement had been entered into

MOISSANT WON BY COMPASS
Flew to Statue of Liberty and Back
Again and Won the Ryan Prize.

New York.-John B. Moissant, an
American, the same man who flew
from Paris to London, was the victor
in the most perilous and spectacular
aeroplane race known to the annals of
aviation.
Dashing at more than mile a min
ute speed from Belmont park TO the
Statue of Liberty and back, distance
of 33 miles as the crow flies, but 30
miles including the extra mileage coV-
cred in the turns at both ends, won
over Count de Leseps, the French acia-
tor. and Claude Grahmame-White, the
English champion, by margin of 40
seconds.
And what is considered more re-
markable still by aviators is the fact
that he steered by compass.

TRADE IS BR|SKER
Colder Weather Is Credited With En-
ergetic Business Dealings in the
Retail Markets.

New York.-R- G. Dun & Co.'S Week.
ly Review of Trade will say:
while the volume of business is
still below productive capacity, it is
noteworthy that trade recession has
clearly been checked and more opti-
mistic view as to the future developed
based largely on the great corn and
oats crop and the high value of farm
products. 1t is true that no marked
advance has been made toward in
creased activity, but the mere stop
ping Of the retrograde movement is a
notable gain, espec ally as the railroad
rate controversy is still unsettled; the
power of the railroads for new con-
struction and new purchases of rails
and other supplies remains undeter-
mined, while the period Immediately
preceding important elections is not
generally favorable to a change of this
character.
Financial Status Rules.
"The financial situation still large
ly controls the Industrial and mercan-
tile and much conservatism prevails,
and that situation is not yet fully de.
fined.
While many ons1Imers of iron and
steel still show conservatism in their
operations signs of actual improve
ment in business are not lacking. In
pig iron a larger buying power has de-
veloped. Cast iron ore interests have
supplied the bulk of the new business.
Tinplate continues to make the best
showing in finished lines, with con-
sumers and dealers taking other prod
ucts at fair rate. Some business has
developed in standard rails for export,
and recent orders for light weights ag-
gregate moderate tonnage.
Values Trend Upward.
"The trend Of values continues up
ward, owing to the high price of raw
material. The demand from distrib-
uters for spring has been fair, but not
active. Mems wear is showing i'm
provement, while dress goods rule very
quiet Worsted and woolen yarns are
being ordered with more freedom.
The cotton goods markets hold steady
at advanced price levels and the mills
are gradually getting into working Or
der on full time, but not with full COM
plements Of machinery. Trade in foot
wear continues to improve. although
business is considerably below normal.
Manufacturers and wholesalers, how
ever, report material increase in or.
ders as compared with a few weeks ago,
and manufacturers experience some
difficulty in filling rush orders for Ger.
tain varieties.
