said Governor Harmon at noon, after
lie had spent several hours trying to
think out a plan to settle the street
car srike.
At noon the governor said that
neither the executive committee nor
the street car company had reported
to him since the conference at his
office Wednesday.
The governor insisted again Thurs
day that some sort Of settlement
must he effected.
This strike can not and must not
go on indefinitely" said the govcr-
nor with emphasis. "lr nobody suffer

ployCcs he would be for lei
ting them fight out their differences
to the end; but It Is every man, wo-
man and child in Coumbuswho is made
to suffer. Business men are loosing
thousands of dollars every day; the
state is spending thousands keeping
the troops here; and nearly everybody
IL walking. If they won't take my

NOT SEEKING
A CONFESSION
The English Law Very
Strict on Subject of Con-
fessions.
BY United Press Wire.

Quebec, Aug. 4---'I am not seeking
to compel DIR. Crippen y.to make a
confession. I am no. an%ious to Sc
cure a confession rr1m him. lie has
said he Is not gui.y Jf murder"
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard.
r.ade this statement today just be-
fore leaving Quebec Cor Niagara
Fats on q Sightseeing triI. The OPP
inon Is prevalent, here, however,
that Dew would scarcely leave his
prisoner at this time unless he~had
received some 81 satisfactory statement
from him.
The English law is very strict on
the subject of confessions. It abso-
lutely forbids the making public of
any confession obtained from prls-
oner. Any officer revealing the fact
of n confession. could be prosecuted.
IT Is thought that this legal situa-
ton may be responsible for Dew's
change of attitude since yesterday,
when he allowed the Inference to go
out that Crippen had told him the
full story OF Belle Elmore's death.
There are those who still insist
that, despite Dews denial Of today,
he has obtained from his prisoner a
full statement of the circumstances
surrounding the tragedy.

David g, Hill Is Dead.

David B. Hill. ex-United States SEN
ator and former governor of New
York, died suddenly at Wolfert's
Roost, his country home near Albany,
N. Y. He was siXty-seven years old and
unmarried.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Hill was
seized with a bilious attack while at
his law Office in Albany, and although
his condition was not considered seri.
Gus at the time, his physician advised
him to remain at home for few days
until he recovered.
A cold developed and q few days
later alarming reports of his condition
were circulated. These reports were
denied by friends; in fact. the senator
appeared to be on the road to recov-
cry until Wednesday night, when he
suffered sinking spell, which resulted
in his death.

Mr.. Wellman, still wearing the

worn since sailing from Atlantic City
in the balloon last Saturday morning,

than that he was somewhat pale and
carried one arm In sling owing to
an injury to the little finger of his

crew, the newspaper men worked their
way to Mr.. Wellman's side to ask him
the reasons for the abandonment Of
the dirigible and consequent lack Of
success of the voyage.
Mr.. Wellman surprised his inter.
viewers by stating that the airship had
met with no serious engine troubles
and that the escape of gas from the
bag was negligible. In two statements
signed by Mr.. Welman just after the
rescue and in conversation with Cap.
tain Down and passengers on the
Trent. Mr.. Wellman was quoted as
saying that the dirigible had met with
mishaps so serious that the balloon
when sighted by the Trent could have
remained above the sea only few
hours longer and that her machin-
cry had gone awry.
"The equilibrator was our great
trouble" Mr.. Wellman explained. "Be-
fore starting out on this balloon voy.
age we were of the opinion that no
dirigible could reach Europe without
an eQuilibrator. Now we know that q
dirigible cannot get there with an
equilibrator. The equilibrator, which.
being partly formed Of small tanks Of
I gasoline arranged in links and trailing
as tail down into the ocean, was the
, very cause Of our being compelled to
throw overheard some of our gasoline
on Sunday night and Monday. The
trailing tail held the balloon back and
at times pulled 1t down toward the
water, and we had to ballast ship at
the cost of loss of gasoline dropped
to the waves. Try again? Well, some.
thing better than our equilibrator will
have to be invented. Until 1t Is can
not answer definitely when / shall
make another trial. The balloon was
In good condition when abandoned"
