ANOTHER CRIPPEN RUMOR
May Be on the Montrose, Now
on Way to Montreal.

London July 24.-According to the
latest reports received here by Scotland
Yard, DR.. Hawley H. Crippen and Ethel
Leneve. as the Rev. Mr.. Robinson and
son. booked passage at the last moment
and boarded the steamer Montrose,
which sailed from Antwerp on July 20
for Montreal.
The original reports regarding the sail
ing of Crippen and his companion led
the police to the belief that they were
passengers on board the Sandman which
left Havre on July 1S for Montreal
The steamer Laurentic on which In
spector Dew is a passenger, sailed from
Liverpool yesterday. Both the Laurentic
and the Montrose are due TO arrive at
Montreal on July 80.
Havre. July 24-The authorities here
have not been able to verify the report
that DR.. Hawley H. Crippen and Ethel
Leneve are passengers on the steamship
Sandman, which sailed from here on
July Is for Montreal. The emigration
commissioner at this port says that he
does not believe Crippen embarked on
the vessel here.
Montreal. July A-The steamer Sandman
which left London on July 10. bound for
Montreal. is due to pass Father Point Light,
where pilot will board her, on Thursday
morning. If DR.. Crippen is on board of her
the fact will probably not be known until
the ship is within 100 miles of this side. as
the Sardinian's wireless equipment Is hr,-
tied to that radius. The Allan Line agents
here say they know nothing about DR.. Grip
pens being on board the steamer.

West Park. He bought his property
from the Martin Sherwood estate last
fall On account of the excitement

went away to friends.
Mr. Seydel is thirty-dve years old
Clement Demorond was about thirty
eight years old He was the proprietor
of q hotel at West Park and large
land owner. He is described as having
been somewhat arrogant and overbear
ing and a commanding figure among his
countrymen on account of his intelli-
gence and wealth. He started life poor.
He leaves g wife and a daughter, about
thirteen years old. Demoronds body
was taken to his home, where during the
dav a crowd of several hundred Ital-
ians gathered Precautions have been
taken TO guard the bungalows at West
Park. as it is feared that reprisals may
be undertaken by the more ignorant of
Demorond's fellow countrymen.
The death of Demorond and SeydePs'
connection with it greatly distressed the
wealthy people in the West Park bunga-
low colony. It was such an unexpected
incident in a locality where the utmost
rrecautions are taken to secure comfort
and repose. Demorond owned property
near West Park which he was improv-
ing. and the lumber which he was haul

SeydeI Starts for Poughkeepsie.


Seydel after the shooting went over to
the house of his neighbor, Frank Seeley,
and got his man to drive him to High-
land, with the intention Of coming here
to give himself up to the Sheriff. After
his arrival at Highland he changed his
plans and went up to Kingston, six
teen miles north. the county seat of
Ulster County, where he consulted with
his attorney, Judge a. T. Clearwater
The latter communicated with Justice
H. E. Mckenzie, at Port EWin, and it
was arranged to have Mr.. Seydel ap-
pear before him.
Judge Clearwater, with Mr.. SeydeI and
several others from Kingston, met JUS
tice Mckenzie, and all went down to
West Park, where they met Patrolnan
Clarence Baker, of Highland who pre-
ferred a charge of rnanslaughter in the
first degree against Seydel. Justice Nc
Kenzie issued a warrant for him, and
committed him to the Kingston Jail
without bail to await the inquest, which
will be held by Coroner Hasbrouck, of
Highland, on Tuesday.

City Population Shrinks.

The transit lines were loaded until
they fairly staggerd under the burdens
and all the heaviest traffic was in one
direction-to the sea. New York must
have shrunk to a city of scarcely two
million population, to judge by the
masses that poured out of the scorched
streets and houses. and most of these
sufferers from the demoralizing heat
stayed by the water all through the
night.
All thought of sleeping in the sitting
tenement houses on the lower East Side
was abandoned by those who have their
homes there. and those who could not
get to the beaches slept on the roofs.

The people of Harlem, Washington
Heights and The Bronx, far removed
from the ocean stretches, nevertheless
stole a march on the heat. for they
bivouacked beside the shores of the Hud-
son and eagerly drank in whatever cool
ing breezes were waited from the Cats
kills.
How restless the sufferers were made
by the heat could be leared by watching
the steady stream of dripping humanity
that crossed and recrossed City Hall
Park on the way to the Jersey ferries
and to the Long Island boats.
Too Hot to Make Trouble.

Gov.-elect Hooper by the officers Of
the Maury County Board Of Trade
this morning. 1t represents the SEN
timent of the people Of this city and
county. The proposed Memphis to
Bristol highway appeals with peculiar
force to the people of this section
for the road would almost certainly
come through Columbia and such
thoroughfare through this city and
county would prove one Of the great
ests assets that they ever had.
At the next meeting Of the Board of
Trade on the second Tuesday night Of
December a committee will be named
and other action taken to show the
interest of the Board in the proposed
road. A committee will be named to
cooperate with the organization at
Nashville formed for the construction
of the road.
At the meeting OF the Board CT Al
dermen tomorrow night Alderman
Dedman will offer resolution endors-
ing the movement and pledging sup
port. Alderman Dedman is road
enthusiast and gives his hearty en-
dorsement to the movement.
The autoists here are especial
ly interested in the construction of
this road and there is little doubt that
a hefty subscription can be obtained
ir this county for the road although
SO far as Maury is concerned no por-
ton of the road will have to be built
within it's borders. Whether the road
after leaving here will cross the Ten
nessee by way of Hohenwald and Lin
den or by Lawrenceburg or Waynes-
boro is question yet to be decided
But in any event road is already
built to the county line.
