TO RECOUNT
 THEBALLOTS
Notice of Contest Filed on Saloon License Question---Judge W. Prickett Orders Boxes
 Into Court.

Ed Anderson, of the firm of Hopper & Anderson, proprietors ofthe Arkan- sas Club Saloon, Monday filed notice of intention to contest the returns of the recent election, which gave majority of 1T votes for the "dry" side. County Judge Wright Prickett. before whom the matter was taken, thereupon issued an order to the cleo tion commissioners to have the ballot boxes in the county court for recount not later than October 3.
 Ever since the returns showed that the vote on the license question was so close. it has been understood that there would be a contest of some sort on the part of those who favored open saloons. It was currently reported at the time that there had been a good many irregularities in the handling of the ballot boxes and returns, some of a character that would make it neces- sary, if demanded, that the returns from some precincts be thrown out entirely. It is said, however, that the 'wets' do not desire to take ad- vantage of any of this class of techni- calities, but ask a recount solely to find if the result as declared resulted from any possible errors in the count of the votes turned in.
 In this connection one license adyo- cate stated Tuesday.that they would be perfectly satisfied to have two anti license men and one license man named to make the recount. and would cheerfully abide the result if the recount showed even one majority against them.

JEERED DM|SSLENEVE
DR. cRlPPENs COMPANION FOL. LOWED BY ROOFING CROWD
 IN LONDON.
THE PRELIMINARY TRIAL ENDS
The London Doctor and Ills Typlst Committed for Trial on a Charge of Murdering Belle Emore-No De- fense Was Made.

London, Sept. 22-Ethel Clare Le Neve was hooted and jeered at by |. crowd of men and women that await ed her arrival at the Bow Street DO lice court.
 The preliminary trial of Miss Le Neve and Dr. Hawley H. Crippen for the murder of the latter's wife haa closed and this fact probably account. ed for the unusual number of persons who gathered in the vicinity for a pos. sible view of the prisoners. A group of women followed the cab occupied by the accused girl, yelling their opin. ions of the typist as they chased along.
 Shielded Herself With Umbrella.
 When the vehicle stopped in front of the court building crowd that blled the thoroughfare hooted derisive- iy. Miss Le Neye held an open um. brella before her face and was fairly successful in escaping observation as the police made a way for her.
 The financial affairs of the Crippens were gone into, in line with the prose cutor's opening assertion that the doc tor at the time of Belle Elmore's dis appearance was pressed for funds and that the death of the woman was tc the monetary advantage of the bus band
 The manager of bank testified that Mrs. Crippen notified the institution December 15, 1909, of the withdrawal of joint account which she and Grip pen had kept there.
 Miss Marion Curnow, an employe oi the Munyon people. who succeeded Crippen in the management of theii local office, testified that the poison alleged to have been purchased by ths doctor, traces of which were found ir the mutilated body, was not used by the company. She added. however that Crippen frequently bought drugs for his own preparations.
 Warned by crippen.
 The witness said that in February when Crippen told her that his wifs had gone to America and died there she cashed for him several checks, one for $500. She last saw the doctor July 9. when she gave him money or check for $1S5. This was just be tore he disappeared. He said to the witness:
 TT anyone inquires for me you ara to know nothing. Say nothing"
 Before this Crippen had left sev eral packages with the witness say irg:
 If anything happens to me give these to Miss Le Neve."
 At the close of the police court pro ceedngs Dr. Hawley H. Crippen and Ethel Clare Le Neve were committed for trial charged with the murder oi the doctors wife, Belle Elmore. So licitor Newton reserved his defense for the trial proper.

ENTHUSIASM FOR THE COLONEL
His Arrival at Saratoga Has a Marked Effect on the Assembled Delegates Little Attention Paid the Vice President.

Saratoga, N. r., Sept. 2S.-With the blare of band and amid enthusiastic shouts of curious crowd that damned the way from the station to the United States hotel, Theodore Roosevelt made a spectacular advent.
 From the moment of his arrival un- til long into the night he has sought in his strenuous way to convince the captains of his party that the star of his destiny is a more brilliant light to guide the party over good roads to a prosperous future than the steady white light of it's own wisest tradi. tions. It is futile to deny the magnet ism of the man. Over men whose ac- tions spring from their emotions rather than their reasonings, he ex- erts a seemingly irresistible influence. His arrival here had a marked effect on the lounging, apparently indiffer- ent and aimless crowd which had been loafing around the spcious verandas and beautiful courts of the mammoth hotel which Is the head quarters of the political host. It was as though an elactric current had been shot through the human mass and gave it animation. Languor gave way to bustling; indifference to in. taresf
