GIRL AT BROTHERS HOME
Such is Rev. Mr.. Clarks story His
sister did not arrive in Chico until late
today and her relatives then refused to
allow her to speak to any one, taking
her from the train to her brothers pas
toral study and thence to his home.
she will say everything as I have
told you on the witness stand at the
proper time" said Clark.
Among the stories that are afloat is
one to the effect that 1 0 years ago Doc
tor Van Lew became involved in an af-
fair with one of girl students, a Miss
Robinson, and that the comment be-
came so noticeable that the board of
trustees forced him TO expel her. An
other charge is that he has been drink
ing heavily and that on one occasion
account of intoxication. Still another
is that he drank with his boy stu
dents.
DRESS MAKER TO TESTIFY
Among the witnesses, according to
Rev.. Mr.. Clark, will be Mrs. ST. John.
a dress maker here. who he says win
testify as to what several girl stu
dents, long since graduated, told her
concerning Doctor Van Lfew.
Il deny all these charges absolutely
said DR. Van Liew Il asked for an
investigation TO clear my name of this
mass of scandal and vicious gossip. and
T feel sure that when the case is heard
it will be shown on how little these
stories are built.
"As for Miss Clark, I deny any such
occurrence as she charges. I can not
account for it. 1 remember her asking
for an excuse, but after / had given
her that the matter ended"
The friends of Van Liew declare that
the charge of Miss Clark is baseless
on the face of it. pointing out that the
presidents office has several doors, and
that there is a sign outside telling
visitors 70 enter without knocking.
TOWN EQUALLY DIVIDED
They say that If Doctor Van Liew
did entertain any improper thoughts he
would not have tried to put them into
effect in such public place, where stu
dents and others were passing con-
stantly.
The town is about equally divided.
Whatever may be the result of the
investig cation tomorrow, the professor,
as far as Chico is concerned, has been
both convicted and acquitted
Late tonight Miss Clark gave out an
interview, telling identically the same
story as her brother. Van Liew's
friends say that the girl has made up
the story in order to have a, sufficient
excuse to leave school and go back
home. They declare that she made
such statements to another student,
but, though they tried hard, neither
Van Lew nor his friends could discover
any such persons.
Trustees Coggins and Warren held a
conference with Attorney Richard
White of Chicago, who represents Doc
tor Van Lew, tonight, but would not
say anything about It.

SHORTAGE OF PULPWOOD
IN QUEBEC is DENIED
Consul Reports to State Depart
ment on Supply

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Denial that
there was a shortage of pulpwood in
Quebec such as to justify an increase
in the price of paper was made today
by United States Consul Willrich at
Quebec in an official report to the state
department.
The following summary of the report
was made by officials of the depart
ment:
eThe consul states that there is not
likely to be a shortage in the future
supply of the market in the United
states because of the restrictions placed
by the provincial authorities upon the
expectation of pulpwood cut on crown
lands.
He states that despite the prohibit
tion of expectations of pulpwood from
crown lands subsequent to May 1 last.
the supply on hand. which may be Sc
cured from private lands in the future,
will be entirely adequate to the demand
and there need be no apprehension OF a
shortage
THE market for pulpwood has been
poor, which shows a lack OF demand
on the part of the buyers in the United
States

TRAIL OF CRIPPEN
LOST ON FRONTIER
Police Declare That Fugitive's
Identity as ''Tarbout" Has
Been Established
Typist May Have Committed
Suicide, While Doctor Headed
for AndOrra

PARIS. July 21-The police at Yer
nets Les Bains, the little French water
ing place at the foot of the Pyrennes
mountains, are positive that DIR. Haw-
ley H. Crippen, widely sought by the
London police, was in their city last
Sunday and a vigorous search is being
made for the fugitive.
The procureur at Vernets Les Bains
telegraphed today to the director of the
surte general at Paris confirming the
identity of the man who arrived there
under the name of Tarbout Sunday as
Doctor Crippen. who is wanted in con-
nection with the disappearance of his
wife; Belle Elmore.
The procureur added that he be-
lieved Crippen had crossed the French
frontier into Spain.
SUSPECT CHANGED ROUTE
The French detective department in
Paris is inclined to accept the pro-
cureur's view as to the identity of
Crippen, but is IN doubt whether he
crossed the Spanish frontier at Vernets
Les Bains, as all the positive inforrla-
ton in the possession of the police IN
dicates that he left the train before
it reached Mount Louis. to which point
he is said to have taken passage en-
route TO SPAIN
The suspect, according to the belief
of the authorities here instead of
making for Spain is headed for An
dora, the little and almost forgotten
republic of 5000 shepherd inhabitants
nesting in the foothills of the Py-
rennes. Once in this country, it is said,
extradition would be difficult if not i'm
possible
Andorra, which is under the normal
suzerainty of the president of France
and the bishop of Urgel, has sometimes
served as refuge for persons who have
committed crimes.
TYPIsT's DEATH DISCREDIYED
NJ. SebflIe. head of the research de-
partment of the police, who is directing
the search in France for Doctor Grip
pen and his typist, Ethel Clara Leneve,
who is supposed to have left London In
his company, opposes the theory that
the woman who killed herself at Bour-
ges July 1S was Miss Leneve.
He points out that the letter left by
the suicide was written In French,
language Miss Leneve is said not to
understand. Furthermore, the suicides
features were those of a person of
SIavonic type. and Sebille believes that
she was Nfhilist.
COUPLE on BOAT TRAIN
Photographs of the suicide have not
however, as yet been compared with
those of Miss Leneve. Should the sui
eide prove to be Miss Leneve it would
give consistency to the story told by a
guard on the boat train running be-
tween Dieppe and Paris that he had
seen a couple answering the descrip-
tion of Doctor Crippen and his typist
July IL.
According to this guard, the couple
came through to Paris on his train.
Here they are supposed to have sepa-
rated, Crippen hurrying south and the
girl going to Bourges, where she sub
sequently took her life. Another theory
of the police is that the couple went
by steamer to Marseilles and separated
at that port.

Gas Caused Explosion
In the absence of any report from an
official investigating board. officers or
the coast artillery can only compare
the explosion to some similar ones that
have occurred in the navy. The ma
jority. however. appear to believe the
explosion was caused by carbon mo-
noxide, highly inhammable gas witch
forms in the barrels of large guns and
which is especially dangerous IN rapid
firing. The gun crew at Fort Mon
roe was trying to make a rapid fire
record. The theory is that the new
charge of powder was hurried into the
breech before the gases generated by
the previous shot had time to dissipate
and before the breech could be closed
the powder exploded. blowing on the
block and carrying death with II.
A gun has been developed in the
navy which automatically clears its
barrel of carbon monoxide as the
breech is opened. No such arrange
ment was in use on the coast defense
guns at Fort Monroe.

accident was Immediately ordered and

Suicides Identity Hidden

BOURGES, France, July PA young
woman who committed suicide at a
hotel here July 13 is now believed to
have been Ethel Claire Leneve, the COM
panion of Doctor Crippen. There are
striking points of resemblance. The
woman was a foreigner and gave the
name of Jeanne Maze.
Before shooting herself the young
woman had written note, which read
as follows:
81 request that my identity be not
sought. The cause of my suicide is
known to me alone. / ask to be allowed
to rest TRANQUILITY in my tomb.
Il am a foreigner. 1 leave 100 francs
to defray my funeral expenses"
The note concluded:
Life to me, alas, appeared to be i'm
smiling"
The young woman had taken the pre-
caution to cut from her garments every
mark that might serve TO indicate the
identity of the wearer-
Much mystery has surrounded the
suicide. Though posing az a French
woman, it was recognized that the
guest who arrived at the hotel shortly
before she killed herself was not of
French birth When the lifeless body
was discovered in her room 7every ef-
fort was made. to determine her iden-
tity or to get some trace of her TRENDS
and acauaintances. The suicide was
youug. probably about 25 years of age,
rather slight In build and OF prepos7
sessing appearance.
When nothing could be learned of her
antecedents the matter dropped from
public discussion, only to be revived

Woman's Jewelry Pawned
LONDON, July 21.-Although press
dispatches bring the report that Miss
Leneve is thought to have committed
suicide at Bourges. France, Scotland
Yard is without other information on
this point.
The police have been disposed to be-
lieve that Miss Leneve met with foul
play. They canInot otherwise account
for her silence. There is no charge
against the young woman. and the au-
thorities have been expecting her to
communicate with them as soon as she
was aware of the search for Crippen.
Mrs. Crippen's jewelry was missed
