Won't Fight Requisition.

After one OF the most dramatic pur.
suits in criminal annals Dr. Hawley
Harvey Crippen, formerly of Detroit
Coldwater and Ann Arbor, Mich. is
in custody at Quebec with Ethel Le-
neve, his typist, who fled with him
from London disguised as a boy, fol
lowing the disappearance Of Belle FL
more, his actress wife.
The arrest of the pair on the steam
ship Montrose at Father Point, Sun
day, charged with guilty knowledge
of an abominable crime" closes a
chase in which the most wonderful
invention of modern days, the wireless
telegraph, played the chief part.
The capture hammers home with
vigor the fact that the wireless has
become deadly thing to the criminal
who seeks an oversee refuge, and
that he is much safer ashore.
The steamer Montrose, upon which
the fugitives were arrested while the
vessel was still 100 miles from Que
bee, arrived at her pier there at 1875
o'clock Monday morning.
The prisoners were FASTENED through
an enormous crowd to the provincial
jail where they were placed in sepa
rate cells for the night. Here they
got few hours sleep. the best rest
which either had had since they fled
from London on July 9, shortly be-
fore detectives found in the cellar of
the Crippen home the bits of human
flesh which the authorities have tried
to establish, once went to make up
the body of Belle Elmore, Crippen's
lawful wife.
DR.. Hawley II. Crippen announced
In the provincial court Monday that
he will not resist his return to Eng
land to stand trial for the killing of a
woman believed by the police to be
his missing wife, Belle Gilmore, the
American actress.
Crippen's companion in flight, Miss
Ethel Clare Leneve, was to have been
arraigned, but her custodians reported
her too i'll to appear.
The authorities are confident that
the woman will give no more trouble
than Crippen promises to and that as
soon as the Is days of grace provided
by the extradition laws of Canada
have expired, both prisoners can be
returned to London without any hitch
When Crippen and Miss Leneve
were arrested on board the incoming
steamship Montrose they were
charged with identical crimes, the
Staying and mutilation of~a unknown
woman. 1t had been expected that
both would be arraigned at 10: 80 Mon
day morning and deported upon the
steamship Royal George which will
sail for England Thursday. But In
spector Dew received instructions
which changed the program.
The English officials do not wish
anything done that would give the APP
pearance of "railroading" the prison
ers. They wish the formalities of
extradition followed to the letter.

That the statue of General Robert

of Attorney General Wickersham, ap.

In addition to deciding the question
on a purely legal basis, Mr. Wicker

has come to be regarded as "typify-

and warranted under the reading Of

Treatment for Lun,p law

Lump jaw is due to fungus which
is usually taken into the animals sys-
tenn in feed consumed Lump jaw is
liable to affect the glands of the
throat or the bones of the head, writes
Doctor David Roberts in American
Cultiyator. 1t is not advisable to keep
an animal thus afflicted lingering in
herd. On the other hand it is ad-
visable to either treat such an animal
or kill it. as such animals invite dis
eases into the herd, owing to the fact
that they are so reduced in vitality
that they have no resisting power.
A remarkably large per cent. of such
cases can be successfully treated if
taken in time by opening up the en-
largement and washing it out with
strong antiseptic solution, like five of
carbolic acid in water. and putting the
animals on a tonic. In this way the
afflicted animal is not only saved, but
the entire herd is protected against
disease.
