POLICE IN A DISPUTE
OVER MANS ARREST
(American News Service.)


Montreal, July 3O.-The following
aerogram from the steamer Montrose
was received today: "The supposed
Crippen was on deck early today ap-
parently deep in thought The sup
posed Leneve remained in her room
all day very gloomy. We stopped in a
fog last night. Suspects did not sleep.
Will send another wireless Sunday.
Signed. Kendall, commander" :"
The government has established
over the wireless stations
and placed them at the exclusive use
of government oncials and agents.
The Montrose cannot reach Father
Point until Sunday night, possibly not
until Monday after daybreak. 1t was
learned today that an affectionate
squeeze Of the hand of the suspect by
his alleged student son was what first
Captain Kendall's eagle eye
and later led him to his decision re-
garding the real identity of John
Robinson and son."
A BITTER DISPUTE.
Father Point, Que, July 3O.-The
bitter warfare that has ragged between
Chief Constable Charles Gavreau Of
the Dominion police and Chief Nc
Carthy Of the Quebec provincial police
for the last twenty-four hours culmin-
ated today in . threat from Gauvreau

London in connection with the murder
Of Crippen's wife Belle Elmore. This
followed a second rejection Of Gau-
vreau's claims by Inspector Dew of
Scotland Yard, who since his arrival
on the Laurentic yesterday has given
his support to Mccarthy.
II have been delegated by the au-
thorities at Montreal to make the ar

smiled slightly and said: TT is not a
matter Of personal dignity; the ques-
ton is to catch the fugitive. Person
al hopes and opinions cannot interfere
with the due process of law"
The advantage lies with Mccarthy.
Not only has he the recognition of
the English detective who crossed the
seas to be here tomorrow when the
Montrose arrives, but he is armed
with the warrant secretly issued
against Crippen by Police Magistrate
Panet Anglers at Quebec. under the in
struction Of Attorney General Gouin.
This struggle between the police is a
fight involving not only the $3.50 re-
ward issued by Scotland Yard for
Crippens' apprehension, but the glory
of making the climaxing move in the
greatest fugitive hunt and murder
mystery Of a decade.
There is a strong opinion here, how
ever, that Captain James Kendall. the
master of the Montrose. who first
flashed to the world news Of the sus-
pects' whereabouts. has the best claim
to the reward. HIS acumen in noting
that the supposed "Robinson's" deli

worth 81 $50 to him.
Chief Mccarthy today refused to
