FATHER POINT. Quebec, Aug. ID
Chief Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard
who week ago Sunday boarded the
steamer Montrose off here and caused
the arrest of DR.. Hawley H Crippen
and Ethel Clare Leneve in their flight
from London, today again made his ap-

stable Charles Gauvreau to await the
arrival of the Canadian Pacific railway
liner Lake Manitoba, due here about
o'clock this afternoon.
While the inspector did not make
public the reason for his desire to meet
the incoming liner, it is probable he
wishes to have plenty of time before
the steamers arrival at Quebec to con-
fer with Staff Sergeant Mitchell of
Scotland Yard, who is on the Lake Man
itoba.
Sergeant Mitchell is bringing from
London the documents in the Crippen-
Leneve case necessary for the removal

Especial Gable to The Call

LONDON. Aug. 1S.-Repiying to
Kurzman's statement that "the hobble
skirt will rule fashion throughout the
winter" Lady Duff Gordon said: IT
am more than surprised that Kurzman,
an American, should champion the hor-
rible hobble skirt, for surely he must
feel pure joy to watch the American
women walking with graceful carriage
and free and independent movements.
II can not believe any American wO-
man will consent to have one OF her
greatest charms taken away, whatever
the fashion happens to be"
Lady Gordon believes that the "hor-
ribIe'' is doomed on this side of the
at any rate. aud that it's place
will be taken by the new skirt which
will in no way impede the movements
of the wearer. though IL will have a
straight and narrow effect. fullness be-

MUTINY OF POLICE
SPREADINGRAPIDLY
Twenty Columbus Patrolmen
Join the Other Thirty-two
in Defying Mayor

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 17.-Twenty po-
lice officers tonight joined the mutiny
in the Columbus department They re-
fused to ride on strikebound streetcars
when ordered to do so.
The 80 policemen who mutinied last
night and refused to go on the street.
cars and protect passengers were off,
cially suspended at o'clock today.
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Mayor Marshall today issued call
for volunteers to aid in stopping the
lawlessness
L have done all in my power to re-
store and preserve peace and will con-
tinue to do SO. l have called for special
police in unlimited numbers. I have
called on patriotic citizens to come for
ward and offer their services. called
on the governor for troops, and thew
were furnished. Since the withdrawal
of the troops all has been done that
could be done with the means at hand.
If 1T is necessary I will call for troops
again.
The city today is probably more ex-
cited than at any time since the present
strike of the union streetcar motormen
and conductors began four weeks ago
for recognition of their union.
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION
The attitude. of the regular police
men in Columbus in openly defying
the orders of Mayor Marshall to man
the cars last night is being discussed
on every corner. The 1000 union men
in the city are much worked up.
Sensational reports that many other
police will mutiny tonight have not
been confirmed. Governor Harmon is
being urged today to call out the
troops again, but has taken no action.
Mayor MarshalPs hesitation in not
discharging the 80 patrolmen the mo-
ment they refused to go on the cars
is condemned by many. Instead of
doing that he pleaded with the police
to obey his orders.
IMPORTATION OF DETECTIVES
The Importation of detectives to fer.
ret out the stone throwers has added
to the excitement and much apprehen-
sion is felt.
Little Helen Kelly, who was shot by
unknown persons last night. is resting
easily today, but her wound is serious,
she having been shot through the left
shoulder at the base of the neck. Mrs.
Katherine Kelly and Mrs. Charles Hart.
who were Wounded in the leg, will be
out within day or two.
