Cable adVices that there was ground
for belief that DR.. Crippen and his
companion boarded the Kroonland
when that steamer called at Dover on
her way from Antwerp to New York,
the day the doctor disappeared, caused
a close inspection of the liners passen-
gers here. 1t was without result. how
ever, and the Kroonland's officers said
that no one answering DIR. Crippen s
description took passage on the steam
er either at Dover or at Southampton,
where the steamer called later for
slight repairs of her machinery. One
man who afterward proved to be a
clergyman, and his wife were sub
jected to some little scrutiny but had
little difficulty in proving their iden-
tity.
His E,xtraditiOn Is Asked For.
Washington. July 2O.-The British
government has asked the United
States for the arrest and detention of
DIR. H. H. CriDDen. who is wanted in
London in connection with the muir
der of his wife. should he be found
in America. The difficulties which
have attended the extradition of Porter
Charlton, wanted in Italy on a charge
of having murdered his wife at Lake
Como, will not arise should DR.. Grip
pen be arrested in the United States
Great Britain and the United States
adhere to the policy of surrendering
their own citizens who are accused of
committing crime in the other country
and it is understood that this policy
would be adhered to in the case of DR..
Crippen. if all the other requirements
for extradition should be met.
This Suspect Was Alone.
Perpignan, France, July 20.-Investi-
cation today at Vernet-Les Baines in
dicates that the man who arrived there
on Saturday and stopped over night,
answered the police description of DR..
Hawley H. Crippen, wanted in London
in connection with the disappearance
of his wife, Belle Elnlore. The suspect
however, was alone.
The French police have been looking
for man with a woman companion.
The suspect left Vernet Les Baines on
Il Sunday morning train after purchas-
irg a ticket for Cerbere, a hamlet of
southern France, near Cape Cerbere
which makes the eastern end of the
boundary between France and Spain.
1t is thought probable that the trav-
eler has crossed into Spain.

DETROIT CHEMICAL co. FINED.
Assessed $225 For Failure to Abate
Odore As Ordered.

Odors As Ordered.
Judge Mandell delighted more than
a score of women, Wednesday, when
he imposed fine Of 500 and $12
costs against the Detroit Chemical
Co.. for its failure to obey an in
junction restraining II from sending
out offensive fumes from Its factory.
The women present in court to
watch the outcome Of the case, live
near the factory, in the vicinity of
Morrell-st., and the Wabash railway
tracks. Every one made an am
davit. alleging that the fumes from
the factory had made children i'll,
ruined vegetation, caused sore threats
and eyes, discolored clothes, spoiled
carpets and made life together miser-
able In that vicinity.
The case first came into court more
than a year ago, when, after a trial
lasting six weeks, the company was
permanently enjoined from causing
more of the odors complained of. The
defendants claim that they have obey
ed the Injunction, and allege that they
have spent $4,000 to abate the
nuisance. On the day complained OF
they say that a break in a tank did
cause fumes to escape, but declare
the break was soon repaired.

SENATOR BURROWS TALKS
TO S0LvAY co. EMPLOYEES
-IelIa Them That Tariff Has Done
Much to Build Up Soda Rsh
Industry.


Senator ]. c. Burrows spent part OF
the noon hour, Wednesday. at the Sol
way Process Co.'S plant In old Delray,
talking to the employees. The senator
and his party, including Homer War
rem and others prominent In Repub-
lican circles, arrived at the plant
shortly after IL a. m, and, escorted
by Manager Green, went through the
works. meeting the heads OF de-
partments and talking to some OF the
men.
The senator spoke to a crowd OF
about 500 on the new tariff and his
reasons for supporting 1t. He pointed
out the alleged benefit that the tarin
had been to the soda ash Industry.
when the Mckinley bill was un-
der discussion" he said, almost all
the soda ash used In this country
came from Germany, because 1t came
in free. went up to the plant OF the
Solvay Co. in Syracuse. N. T., and
there collected data which | presented
to the house with the result that q
duty was laid on soda ash and the
industry was built up to its present
magnitude"
The senator also mentioned other
industries around Detroit that had
benefited by the tariff, and declared
that he would never knowingly vote
for a measure which In his opinion
would in any way harm the industries
of the United States.
The Arrangement committee seemed
to have bungled matters in getting
ready for the senator's reception.
There were two or three crowds that
waited for him to show up in various
parts Of the grounds, but had to go
back to work without hearing him.
