Lootina of New York
Bank.

NEW YORK, July 25.-The New
York police sent out a general alarm
today for the arrest of Berwin Wider,
cashier of the local bank of the Russo
Chinese bank In the information laid
before the detective bureau, it is stat
ed that the total amount of stocks
and bonds missing from the bank and
which it is alleged were taken by
Wider, exceed half million dollars.
Private detectives employed by the
bank were supposed to be in touch
with Widers whereabouts but they
admitted today that he had given
them the slip.
Stockholders Of the bank will prob
ably start civil suits against the
brokers, to secure the return of bonds
and securities left with them by

Scotland Yard inspector Expected to
Beat Or. crIppen to This
Side and Catch
Him.
WIRELESS rs BUSY
Perhaps the Officer viii be Able to
Meet Murderer In Mid-ocean
And Make the
Arrest.

LONDON, July 25.--As Scotland
Yard refuses yet to confirm or deny
any of the reports concerning DR..
Crippen, who is wanted on the charge
of numbering his wife, or to other
wise take the public into its conf
dence 1t can not be stated positively
on what steamer Crippen and his
companion, Miss LIE Neve, are aboard.
There is a probability almost amount
ing to certainty, however, that they
are on the Montrose, bound for Can
ada, and as 1t Is now pretty certain
that Inspector Dew is on the Lauren
tic. he should reach Canada twenty
four hours ahead Of the fugitives.
The story ascribing the information
regarding the whereabouts of the cou-
pie to the French police Is more than
doubtful There Is every reason to
believe that the captain of the Mont
rose sent a wireless message on the
afternoon Of July % announcing that
disguised couple were aboard the
Montrose. A corroborative message
reported to include the definite state.
ment that the younger suspect, who
was dressed as young man, had
been found to be a woman, followed
few hours later. 1t is quite probable
that there was a subsequent exchange
OF messages between the Montrose
and Scotland Yard. 1t is stated that
one of these announced that the sus.
poets we're under arrest. This, how
ever, is likely to be con1ectural
When the fugitives embarked on
the Montrose at Antwerp, they do not
seem to have attracted notice, suspi-
cion not being awakened until the
steamer was we'll at sea. The Mont
rose does not carry first class passen-
gers. She has about 20 second class
passengers and 400 steerage passen-
gers aboard.
1t is to be assumed that the Laur-
entic wireless picked up the Montrose
and that the disposition of the fugi-
tiyes has already been decided, so far
as Inspector Dew and the captain OF
the steamer are concerned. 1t is ex-
pected that the Laurentic will over
haul the Montrose and that Inspector
Dew will board the latter vessel and
arrest the couple at sea. This, again,
is merely conjectural.
The passenger list Of the Montrose
does not contain the names of Robin
sons under which Crippen and his
companion are sailing. 1t is stated
that they booked their passage two
or three hours before the steamer
sailed
1t is understood that the London
detectives who we're watching the
sailings from Antwerp did not detect
the fugitives.
1t is stated that the information
from the Montrose was transmitted
to the Lizard and thence sent to Lon.
don, but the radius Of the Montrose's
aerograph is sNid to be too short to
have reached the Lizard from the po-
sition whence the news was dispatch
ed. II this Is the case 1t is likely that
the messages were picked up by an
otner vessel and retransmitted.

SAVED OLD LADY's HAIR

my mother used to have q very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1T had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it mo- good
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much. in debt to- Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
my own case was, an eczema in my
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought / would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and

five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun.
