THEY HAVE ACLUE
Scotland Yard Officers Turn
Their Eyes Toward Canada.
Believe That DIR. Crippen Has
Fled to the Dominion.
CROSSED THE OCEAN.
CROSSED THE OCEAN.
He Sailed With Leneve Woman
From a French Port.
Had Plenty Of Time Before the
Alarm Was Sounded.

London. July 23.-It is believed that
DR.. Hawley H. Crippen and Ethel
Clara Leneve have reached Canada.
Such importance is attached to the
clue that Scotland Yard has decided
to send Inspector Dow to the domin-
ion to investigate.
Superintendent Froest of Scotland
Yard, is reticent as to the supposed
woman in Canada. 1t was learned
however, that the police believe that
Crippen and his companion crossed
the Atlantic from continental port.
Inspector Dow has been in direct
charge of the search for the doctor
and his typist and the fact that he is
to go to Canada appears to give added
Importance to the new line upon
which the officials are acting. The
present clue Is the first of real prom
ise which the authorities have secured
since Crippen and his typist disap-
peared and the body of the woman
believed by the police to be Belle Ell
more, the actress wife of the physi-
clan, was unearthed in the cellar of
the Crippen home.
The detectives are satisfied that
Crippen and his companion fed to
France and made close connections
with a steamer sailing for Canada
fore the general alarm asking for
their apprehension reached the police
OF foreign countries.
The Canadian clue appears to have
put new life into the Crippen search
today.
The police have been watching con-
tinental points and examining shipping
agents and others which come into
touch with the transatlantic passen-
gers. 1t is understood that from one
of those interviewed was received the
information which caused the hurried
departure of Inspector Dew for
Canada.
Probability points to the Allan line
steamer Sicilian as the vessel which
the police have in mind. The Sicilian
sailed from London July 9, the day of
Crippen's disappearance, and from
Havre on July IL for Montreal She
arrived at Montreal last Thursday
There is a possibility, however that

PROPERTY OWNERS LOSE
City Railway May Now Build on
Buchanan Street.

The property owners in the Quinton
Heights neighborhood who have
fought the extension of the car line
along Buchanan street from Seven
teenth street to the city limits. lost in
the district court when Judge A. w.
Dana sustained the demurrer which
the city attorney filed to the petition
of the plaintiffs this morning. The
property owners started suit for in.
junction against building the new
tracks on the ground that the old city
council, which passed the ordinance
granting the extension of franchise
rights, had no authority to enact such
legislation after the people of the city
had voted to replace the council with
the city commission as the legislative
branch of the city government. The
franchise was granted just before the
council went out of business.
City Attorney w. c. Ralston filed a
demurrer to the petition some days
ago Judge Dana this morning sus
tanned the demurrer and taxed the
costs of the case against the plain
tiffs.

Bleached Flour Case.

asking for a new trial in the bleached
flour case in which a jury here recent
ly returned a verdict favorable to the
government, has been filed in the
United States district court here by
attorneys representing the Lexington
Mill & Elevator company of Lexing-
ton. Neb.
The flour seized by the government
to form the basis of the recent trial
here was bleached by the Lexington

the Alsop process of bleaching.
The company advances 1877 reasons
why new trial should be granted,
among which are that the court lacked
jurisdiction and the pure food and
drug act is unconstitutional.
