Missouri Renominates Democrats.
st. Louis, Aug. BIN Missouri 10
democratic congressman and at least
two of the three republican members

at the primary election held yesterday.
The exception on the republican side
is Congressman Charles A. Crow Of
the Fourteenth district, against whom
David w. Hill, insurgent republican, Is
pitted. The result probably will not
be finally known for a couple of days
because of the inaccessibilfty of the
country comprising the district. Con-
gressman Patrick F. Gill of the Elev-
enth district, st. Louis, is victorious by
small margin, according to the latest
returns this morning. His principal
opponent is Daniel P. Meehan..

because they subscribed to the Can
non system.

effective legislation framed to drive
the special and selfish interests out
of control in American politics"

First CLEAN of Hope.


This unexpected message brought to
lEs accused doctor in his lonely cell
the first CLEAN of hope since his arrest
Sunday on the steamer Montrose with
his companion in fight, Ethel Glare
Leneve. And, by a strange coincidence
the bearer of these good tidings was
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, who
on Sunday crushed the fugitive's hopes
of escape.
Judging from his behavior since he
was arrested, the pale little prisoner
on Quebec Heights did not need the
warming to remain silent. A single
monosyllable negative to his jailer's in
quiry whether he wishes to give out
any public statement was the only mes
sage that came from him today for the
outside world
Reports that the girl has told the police
enough to convince them of her inno-
cence are denied by the authorities.
Nevertheless many of those who have
come in contact with the girl do not
hesitate to say they believe she knew
nothing of the murder of Belle FL
more.
Wife jealous of Typist.
Accordingly, it is generally believed
that the police are resting their hopes
on Miss Leneve. If she does not pos
sess the key to the mystery they think
that she can at least aid them, mater
ially in a reconstruction of the circum-
stances leading up to the disappear
ance of Belle Elmore. 1t is known that
Mrs. Crippen was jealous of her hus-
bands typist. and the police have no
doubt that Miss Leneve was aware of
this jealousy.
They will not use any third degree
methods in interviewing Miss Leneve,
but more subtle influences already are
at work The girl prisoner is being
treated with the greatest considera-
tion. She showed the effect of this to-
day, appearing to be much better in
body and in mind than on yesterday;
when, following the collapse after her
arrest, she was considered too i'll 10
