Anvil Queens
Long Journey.

by Mrs Harriet Clark Fisher Of Trenton,
N. ]. Mrs. Fisher IS known as the "anvil
queen being one Of the largest manu-
facturers of anvils in the world. Last
year she started out on q globe girdling
tour, taking with her. maid and q man
servant. In thirteen months she com
pleted her trip around the world, $4,000
miles Of which she made In her car. Dur
ing the whole journey she had no. serious
accidents. and although she penetrated
far into the uncivilized regions of Asia,
she experienced little more difficulty than
If SHE had been touring in America.
The automobile manufacturers are pre-
pairing for the greatest season In 1911
that the industry has ever seen. The
supply Of 1910 models already is ex
about the advantages Of the 1911 models.
It is estimated that there may be as
many as 10000 cars turned out during
the coming season. Tho great difficulty
manufacturers will experience is In So
curing a sufficient supply OF the Access
series for the equipment Of their ma
chimes. It IS feared that the business Of
1911 will be limited. not by the capacity
of the factories. but by the supply Of the
Der Of low and medium priced cars turned
out during the coming year than ever
before. The popularity of the automo-
bile In rural districts has brought q de-
nand for cars retailing at less than
81 200, and the large majority Of the new
factories arc preparing to devote their
attention to the production Of cars for
this demand.

a careful study Of the adhptability OF
the automobile In operations against air

Excessive Exploitation Of Rabies.

the boards of health throughout the
country to have mad dog scares every

would be greatly diminished.

REVELATIONS
IN BANK CASE

New York, July 26-SensationaI rev.
announcement made by the New York
agency of the Russo-Chinese bank that
instead Of being looted of a paltry
$4,000 the New York strong box of
the great SIS, 100000 Russian concern
has been robbed of securities valued
Mt about 5000, 900.
1t appears that Erwin Wider, the
cashier who has confessed that he took
considerably more than $4,000 worth
of securities, Il not held by the bank
to be responsible for the theft of the
whole amount.
you know hat other persons are
concerned In this besides Wider" said
Mr.. Markowski. and a moment later
he added: "I want to make 1t clear
that any n concerned with Wider tn
these thefts is entirely unconnected
with the bank"
Although the inspector was not will
ing to amplify this remark, his state
ment in itself confirmed belief in the
financial district that a complete inyes-
tigation into the affairs Of the local
agency may follow at the request Of
men In this country who are interested
In seeing whether there has been any
wrongdoing on a large scale by several
persons. 1t has been learned that such
a suggestion Is being formulated and
that 1t will be addressed to the Rus
sian minister Of finance. His repre-
sentative in this country Is Gregory
Wilenkin, financial agent of the inn
perial Russian government, whose Of
fee is in New London, Conn.
A simultaneous request will probably
be sent to Edouard Noetzlin, chief Off
Ger of the Russo-C Chinese bank and also
head of the Bank of Paris and the
Low Countries. He is In Paris, and he
was one of the organizers Of the
Russo-ChiLese bank In 1895. 1t was
stated by one familiar with the banks
history that a month ago 1t absorbed
the Banque du Nord of st. Petersburg,
but that the combination had not been
considered a very successful step and
that q reorganization seemed quite
probable: also that the conditions
which permitted a theft of 100000
would b. investigated.
Wider, the cashier, is still missing,
and a number of central office detec-
tives have been sem by Inspector Rus
sell to get him. Exactly why he keeps
out of sight is not plain, for his law
yer, Samuel Ginsburg, says he is going
to plead guilty to the charge of having
robbed the New York agency of the
medicine"

Tell of cripoen,s CAPTURE.

London, July 26.-What is going on
aboard the steamship Montrose, in
which DR.. Hawley HI. Crippen and
Ethel Leneve are supposed to be sail
ing to Canada, is today the subject OF
lively speculation in London.
If the fugitive suspect in the Belle
Elrnore murder mystery Is really or
the vessel it is expected that the pas
sengers will have strange tales to tell
of the voyage when they land in Mont
real next Sunday.
The London Express publishes a cir
cumstantial story of the arrest Of DR..
Crfppen and Miss Leneve on board the
Montrose. According to this paper, on
Friday the couple were overheard dis
cussing their escape, and the captain
of the steamer then communicated
with Scotland Yard and IN Saturday
decided to arrest the couple.
DR.. Crippen vas searched and de-
prIved of a revolver and cartridges
and a penknife. He demanded to
know what offense be was charged
with and was Informed that he had
contravened the law by giving an as
sumed name and travelling with a wo-
nan in the guise of a boy.
AS he was unable to produce proofs
that his name was Robinson or that
the roman was his wife, he and the
girl were placed under arrest in sepa-
rate cabins and watched day and
night.
Miss Leneve, 1t is added, denied all
knowledge of Mrs. Crippen's murder
and threw herself on the captains
protection.
p An officer of the Montrose and a
seaman keep watch owe Crippen,
while a stewardess has been placed in
charge of Miss Leneve.
Crippen is said to have declared he
can prove his innocence, but every
precaution Is taken to prevent him
from committing suicide
