DOCTORS ARE PUZZLED.
Can't Tell Sex or Cause of Death in
Crippcn Case.

London, July 1S.-Interest in the
mysterious Crippen murder conferred
today in the i.4>, dest at which it had
been hoped the physicians would be
prepared to describe the manner of
death and possibly make positive the
Identification of the dismembered
body found in DR.. Crippen's cellar.
However, the formal evidence adj
dueed added nothing material TO what
was already generally known.
1t was decided to postpone the con-
clusion of the inquest for one month in
order to give DR.. Pepper, examiner in
surgery at the Royal Army Medical
college, opportunity to make a COM
plete examination of the pieces of
flesh and the police to continue the
search for Crippen and Miss Leneve.
John E. Nash, a theatrical manager,
tention of Scotland yord on his return
here from the United States, was one
of the important witnesses.
Mr.. Nash said that at the request OF
friends in America he took up the mat
ter of the actress death and interview
was unable to give the exact place n
California where Belle Elmore died, al
though he had previously announced
that his wife died in that state. Meth
er could Crippen, according to the wit
ness, produce a certificate of death, al
though he said he had his wife's ashes
locked in his safe. Inspector Dew "f
Scotland Yard, was called. He said he
first visited Ethel Leneve at the Grip
pen residence The woman on that oc-
casion told him she was Cr1ppens
housekeeper. Later the inspector Went
10 Crippen's office and had a, talk with
the doctor.
Said Stories Were False.
At this time, the witness said, the
doctor admitted that all of the stories
which he had previously told of his
wife's death were untrue. He said he
had quarreled with Mrs. Crippen on
the night of January 81, and that fol-
lowing the quarrel she had left him
saying she intended to join man who
the doctor said he believed lived in
Chicago.
With the body the witness said he
found a piece of string and a mans
handkerchief that might have been
used to strangle the victim.
The witness said he had not heard
from Crippen and Ethel Leneve since
July 8, when they left the Crippen
house. On that day they sent a note
to the servant saying:
do not worry. We are going to
the theater."
Questioned in detail as to finding
of the body Inspector Dew said at the
first of his examination of the house
he found some loose bricks in the
basement floor. He removed the bricks
and dug into the earth beneath.
At a depth of two feet he uncov-
cred the mass OF human flesh. The
largest piece was less than twelve

New York, July 1S.-There was a re-
rewal at the opening today of the in
tense excited condition in the cotton

FLOATING IN HARBOR.
Body Believed to Be That of
Youngstown, o., Man Found.

New York, July 18.-Detectives to-
day are trying to trace the movements
after his arrival here from Youngs-
town, o., of man believed to be ].
w. Horton, a well to do contractor of
that city. whose body was found float
ing in the harbor yesterday. Report
that he had a considerable sum of
money in his possession when he
reached this city, lead to suspicion
that he may have been the victim of
foul play.
The only fact certainly known about
Horizons movements after his arrival
here, was that he visited the offices of
the White Star line and engaged a
state room he intended to occupy on
the steamer Majestic, sailing on We'd
nesday for Southampton.
Well Supplied With Money.
Youngstown, o., July 18.-John w.
Horton, was a well known contractor
and left last Friday night for a visit
to his old home in England. Hor-
tons family had recently come into a
legacy through the death of relative
and Horton decided to spend part of
the money on a trip to Europe. He
had sufficient funds in his possession
when leaving here to defray his ex-
penses on a two months trip.

MONTANA Is GWEN
CHARTER
CHAPTER OF TAU KAPPA ALPHA,
DEBATING HONOR SOCIETY,",
TO BE INSTALLED. a

Word has been received at the uni
versity that Tau Kappa Alpha, a de-
batting and oratorica honor society,
has granted a charter to the Montana
school. The charter was granted after
lot of strenuous boosting on the. part
of George Coffee, former student at
the university and a member of the
society
Mr.. Coffee attended the Harvard law
school after leaving the university,
and while there became member of
the Tau Kappa Alpha fraternity. Last
year he wrote to A. E. Leech of the
senior class at the university and in
terested him to the extent that a Pc
tition was presented, the result of
which will be the installation, Of a
chapter within the next couple of
weeks. MI
The fraternity is purely an honor
airy one and only those who have par
ticipated in intercollegiate debates or
oratorcal contests are eligible y for
membership. Those who are eligible
for membership at the university and
from among whom the members will
be chosen are C. T.. Sfmons, A. e.
Leech, NJ. S. Bullerdick, Gilbert Hey
from, r.. c. Line and D. G., Warren
The coming of this society is con-
siderable of a boost for the university
and will probably he followed by
others in different lines of work. Mr..
Coffee will probably arrive with
Mr.. Leech during the coming week and
together they will install the chapter
here.

Professional Baseball clubs are that
the classification bugaboo will not
cause the reduction of any league. 1t
was asserted that any league that
could sustain claims to an advance in
classification by the census would be
advanced, but that population records
would not be invoked to cause the re-
duction of any. This means that the

will not be disturbed. The board con-

VARSITY IS READY
FOR GAME
ANNUAL THANK SEWING DAY
GAME WITH AGGIES WILL
BE A GOOD ONE.

On Thursday the champions of Mon
tana-lby percentage-are to meet the
team from the state agricultural col
lege in a battle which will determine
whether the title is merely one built on
paper or real, life and blood cham
pionship According to figures, the
University already has the champion
ship, for it has won two games and
lost none, the Miners have won one
game and lost two, the Aggies have
lost one game and won none. The
varsity, however. has not yet beaten
the B0zeman team. The game played
over In the Gallatln early in the sea-
son resulted in to tie, and If the
Farmers win here next Thursday they
VIII be able to say that they tied and
beat the paper" champions--a claim
WHICH will at least rank them as the
best team in the state.
But the university is not planning to
lose the game, nor is it wasting any
valuable time which may be spent in
practice. With Coaches Cary, Weisel
and Warren out ON the field last night
some 20 men We're put through their
PAGES in a way which woke them up
to the fact that another big game is
yet to be played. A strenuous signal
practice and plenty of hard tackling
and rough work and the men soon for
got the sore spots which the Butte
game left with them.
Over In Bozeman Coach, Mcintosh lis
giving his team some equally strenu-
Gus work, and he is coming over here
ready to make the fight of his life.
He has good aggregation of talent,
and he Is going to use it to his best
advantage. The team was on a bad
slump when it met the Utah .Aggies,
according to the College Exponent, and
iit lis going to do things in Missoula
. The advertising for the game is go-
ing on at fine clip. Decorated post
ers OF the finest sort have been scat
tered over town and have made a de-
cidedly favorable impression. The
students. also, are going to sell tickets
about town and are going to keep
things hot until the game starts.
1t will be contest we'll worth see
ing. The varsity has won the state
championship and has thereby boosted
the school and the city immensely and
they deserve support. Arrange your
Thanksgiving dinner so that YOU can
haye 1t little earlier than usual and
take in the game.
