PHILADELPHIA SLEUTH SAYS SHE IS BEING GUARDED IN
 MIDDLE WEST.
TlDIkGS SENT TO LONDON
Chicagoans Admit Planning Appear ance" of Supposed Wife of Grip pen-Actor Miller Says
 Story Is Absurd.

Philadelphia, Nov 9.-Where h question of the whereabouts of the woman for the murder of whom Dr. Hawley II. Crippen is under death sentence in London is agitating many cities.
 That woman supposed to be the music hall artist has been under sur. veilance for the last five days some. where in the Middle West was the statement made by the head of pri- vate detective agency here. He re. fused to name the place where he had located her, but said she should not be interviewed, and gave the inn pres. sion she is being detained in a sani tarium.
 It is further declared affidavits have been forwarded to Washington by persons who have seen Mrs. Grip pen in this country
 The London authorities have been informed of the facts in the case.
 Chicagoans Plan Appearance.
 Chicago, Nov 9.-Attorney Bob" Cantwell and Jack" Curley, athletic promoter, reluctantly admitted being interested with an attorney of Phila. delphia in the production" of Belle Elmore" and the saving of pr. Hawley H. Crippen from the gallows. There are indications that a Philadelphia sporting man was scheduled to share in the financial results of the womans return.
 If present plans do not miscarry she will be introduced to the Chicago public from a platform in the Coli scum building, and it is intimated that she will show signs of suffering from mental alteration
 A story started in sporting circles a couple of weeks ago to the effect that an English woman had been engaged to impersonate the slain actress, and the promoters figured there would be millions in it.
 Bruce Miller Says, "Canard."
 Bruce Miller of East Chicago, friend of Belle Elmore, the actress wife of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, who is under sentence of death in London for mur- dering his wife. takes no stock in the story that the woman Is alive. Miller appeared as a witness in the Crippen trial to disprove the accusation that he was unduly friendly with Mrs. Crippen. Its canard, pure and sim. ple," said Miller.

Ia man sat In rocking chair by
N window. He had just lighted
o a pipe and was putting blue
clouds with great satisfaction. He had
removed his shoes and donned u pair
Of blue, faded carpet slippers. With
the morbid thirst Of the confirmed
daily news drinker, he awkwardly
folded back the pages Of an evening
paper, eagerly gulping down the
strong, black headlines. to be followed
as chaser by the milder details of
the smaller type.
In an adjoining room a woman was
cooking supper Odors from strong
bacon and boiling coffee contended
against the cut plug fumes from the
vespertine pipe.
Outside was one Of those crowded
streets Of the east side In which as
twilight falls Satan sets up his re-
cruiting office. A mighty host Of chill
dren danced and ran and played In the
street. Above the playground forever
lowered a great bird The bird was
known to humorists as the stork. But
the people Of Chrystie street were bet
ter ornithologists. They called 1t a
vulture.
A little girl Of twelve came up tim
Idly to the man reading and resting by
the window and said:
