 for Dr. H. H. Crippen and Miss Ethel Clare Leneve, centers today in this little lighthouse village on the St. Lawrence. As fast as slow vessel can pick her way through the 30 mile wide river, fog covered, Crippen and Miss sLeneve suspicious of noth- ing, are coming on to their doom. The great hand of wireless has stretched out across the sea and in- fercepted the alleged wife murderer and his companion. At midnight Saturday night or early Sunday morn ing, probably while the unsuspecting pair are sleeping. officers will chamber over the side of the Montrose of place them under arrest. They will be rushed to Quebec. arraigned. al- lowed to plead. and then be ordered deported to England as undesirable aliens" In this way extradition, which, under the law requires fifteen days, will be circumvented and Grip pen and Miss Leneve, guarded by Chief Inspector Dew of Scotland sea, will be bound back for England on August 4th aboard the fast tur- bine steamer Royal George.
 In a little room beneath the light house here atop of which the aerials messages from the air, Chief McCar- thy of the Quebec Provincial police, Police Chief Denis of Lewis, and Chief Constable Gauvreau of the Dominion Police of Ottawa, are con- ferring as to plans for making the proach of the vessel that literally brings their quarry to them.
 Sometime this afternoon the pilot boat Eureka will draw up alongside the White Star Liner Laurentic and put a pilot over the side. The same boat will bring ashore to Father Point Chief Inspector Dew who will act as an aid to the Canadian Police in arresting Dr.. Crippen and Miss Iseneve. Dew will take no hand. in made by the Canadian officers The warrants will be read after Dew has identified the pair while Denis and Gauvreau stand close at hand to pre- vent any possfbie effort ct escape or suicide. s5s \
 Not since the early fifties. before the Atlantic cable was laid. has Father Point been such a haven for news paper men. In the old days before wire communication was established between Europe and America the fast est cleaners touched first at Father Point on their way to Quebec. There the mail was thrown off to be eagerly seized by the host of corresponds kept here by the American papers.
 The ten day old European news was pers and put on the wires from Father Point to papers all over the United States.
 Father Point contains a lighthouse, wireless station and a land wire telegraph station. Few people live lage today, however. is crowded as a summer resort. Half a hundred newspaper correspondents and photo graphers have arrived while tourists every train.
 Special permission has been grant ed by the Canadian immigration of- f1cials to Inspector Dew to land at Father Point. This unusual permit was issued because of Dew's &C.,
 Chief Mccarthy has decided not to allow newspapermen to board the Montrose until after the arrest has been made.
 we have received a number of wires from Colonel Percy Sherwood. chief of the Dominion Police" said Mccarthy. "cautioning us to exer- else the greatest vigilance to prevent either pr. Crippep< or Miss Leneve from committing suicide. This order was evidently inspired by Scotland Yard which probably fears that the couple, trapped, will try to cheat the prison and the gallows. We fear that . the presence of this throng of news papermen going up over the side of the Montrose would arouse suspicion and give Crippen and Miss Leneve a chance to do away with themselves before we could seize them."
 Go fho to see old Sandy McEwan, former keeper of the lighthouse, and persuade him to fOrego his annual trip to St. Pferfe, MiQuelOn. Instead Sandy will load the half hundred newspapermen on board his numbering schooner and carry them alongside the Montrose so that they may go aboard later. The Montrose will not delay at Father Point but will continue on her way to Quebec where the man and wom- an. if they really are Crippen and Miss Leneve. will be taken ashore at Crosse Island. There, herded like the rest of the immigrants, they will go through the immigration officers and be taken to Quebec where they will be formally arraigned before Judge Chauveau and by him remanded to jail. In the meantime the immigra- tion officials will have declared Grip pen and Miss Leneve "undesirable inn migrants and order them deported to England. They will be remanded in to the custody of Inspector Dew, who is understood to have booked return passage on the Royal George. sailing on August 4th.
 Montreal, Que, July 29.-A wire less, relayed over the land lines from Captain Kendall of the Canadian Pacific liner Montrose, says that Dr. H Fl. Cr1ppen, with his mustache shaven off. and with other attempted disguises, is one of his passengers, in company with Miss Ethel Clare Leneve, his typist. Neither Crippen nor Miss Leneve knows that they are under suspicion. They have been al- lowed every liberty. The other pas sengers of the, vessel Captain Ken dall wires, are also in ignorance of the identity of Crippen and Miss Leneve.
 Captain Kepdalrs message says:
 ''I had my first suspicious after the Montrose had been out two hours from Antwerp. I watched the con pie closely and came to the conclu- sion that the man was Crippen. He was booked as a merchant and the girl, disguised as his son, as a stu dent. Crippen has been reading con Etantly, is very nervous and does not sleep well. Miss Leneve is gay at
