Doctor Is Formally Arraigned and In
forms Court He Will Not Com
bat Extradition.

Quebec.-Dr Hawley H. Crippen,
trembling and on the verge Of col
lapse, with his voice so weak it scarce
ly could be heard by Magistrate An
gers, announced in court Monday that
he would not make fight against ex-
tradition to London.
This statement followed his formal
arraignment in the provincial court
on the charge of Staying IAN unknown
woman" the police believe to be his
missing wife, Belle Elmore, the Amer
lean actress.
Crippen's hearing, at the suggestion
of Inspector Dew, was continued Is
days, and, at the expiration of that
time, unless he decides to fight ex-
tradition, he will be sent back to
England. Crippen's companion in
flight, Miss Ethel Clare Leneve, was
to have been arraigned with the Amer
lean, but her custodians reported to
the court that she was too i'll to ap-
pear. The authorities are confident
that the woman will give no more
trouble than Crippen promises to.
Miss Leneve was transferred from
the provincial jail to a hospital. The
girl scarcely has been able to stand
since her collapse when she was taken
into custody. Her condition has ex-
cited much sympathy.

CRIPPEN AND MISS LENEvE
ARE PLACED UNDER ARREST
Alleged Wife Slayer and His Stenog-
rapher Taken into Custody Upon
Arrival at Quebec.

Montreal, Que. A real detective
story, the plot of which has never
yet been conceived by Poe or
a Doyle, but which has been told in
the newspapers day by day, came to
it's last chapter with the arrest of DR..
Harvey H. Crippen and Miss Ethel
Leneve by the provincial police and
Inspector Dew Of Scotland Yard, on a
charge of having killed Mrs. Crippen,
known on the stage as Belle Gilmore,
in London.
1t was simple performance, this ar
rest, and carried out with all the alb
sence of theatricals and display of
calmness that was remarkable under
the circumstances. In a word, it was
oil that staid, stolid Scotland Yard
could desire.
Chief Mccarthy of the Quebec pro-
vincial police, assisted by Chief Denis
of the Dominion police, put DR.. Grip
pen under arrest on the deck of the
Montrose at Father Point after he had
been identified by Inspector Dew as
he was waiting for a pilot. Two min
utes after, Ethel Leneve, the stenog-
rapher, with the suspect, whom Grip
pen had long been infatuated with,
was put under arrest in her cabin,
still wearing the clothes of boy.
Inspector Dew stood face to face
with the man he had let slip by him
in London and was certain that the
man disguised as Rev. John Robinson
was his quarry. Feeling that he had
now INDICATED himself and feeling the
most real happiness in year, In
spector Dew continued on his way to
Quebec with his prisoners. There they
will be arraigned before Judge Panet
Anglers, the purpose being to deport
them to London. 1t is likely that In
spector Dew will board the Royal
George for the return trip with his
prisoners on Thursday.
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard,
with Chief Mccarthy and ex-Chief
Denis of the Canadian provincial po-
lice, all three disguised as pilots, went
off to the steamship In lifeboat

smiling and promenading the deck
with Miss Leneve and DR.. Stuart, the
ships doctor. He asked the doctor
why so many pilots should come, to
which Doctor Stuart replied they were
probably returning to their homes,
being out Of turn.
The supposed pilots walked along
until they passed where Crippen and
his paramour were with Doctor Stu
art. AS Inspector Dew got a good
look at Crippen and Miss Leneve he
gave the preconcerted signal and the
constables made the arrest and
brought the couple down to their own
stateroom, where they are now con-
| fined with Inspector Dew.

ROYAL COUPLE FLEE SPAIN
kino Alfonso and Queen Victoria
Start for England Because OF
Enmity of cIericals.

San Sebastian, Spain.-King Alfonso
and Queen Victoria have fed the
country. The young king, dismayed
at. the bitter enmity shown towards
his queen by the clericals, suddenly
left Monday with her for England.
The royal couple will stop in Paris
on their way to England and have
conference with President Fallieres.
Much significance is attached to this,
as France has done to the church
what Spain, in lesser degree, now is
attempting. When he has established
Victoria safely at the court of King
George, the king will return to Spain.
II is said, going direct to Madrid.
There he will take full charge of the
tangled situation growing out Of the
governments defiance Of the church.

EIGHTY ARE DEAD AND
MANY WOUNDED IN RACE WAR
Texas Negroes Have Desperate Forty
Eight Hour Battle With Troops
and Sheriff's Posse.

Palestine, Tex.-At least sixty ne
groes and twenty white men are dead,
according to the latest estimates, fol-
lowing a pitched battle between ne
gro farmers, in which at least 300
blacks took part and three companies
of state militia from Houston and Gal
weston and a detachment of state
rangers. The race riot between the
negroes and whites ragged continuous
ly for forty-eight hours.
Throughout the night the negroes
and whites exchanged shots. At dawn
the soldiers prepared to rush the ne
gro stronghold.
Cautiously soldiers and citizens felt
their way through the woods for al
most mile before shot was fired.
Suddenly coming upon group OF In
trenched negroes the soldiers were
fired on and three hit. This was
signal for a general assault On four
sides shots rang out. The negroes
fired desperately, knowing that quar-
ter would be denied any caught.
The surrender Of the blacks ended
the battling. 1t is difficult, members
of the posses and officers Of the troops
say. to estimate exactly the number
of negroes killed. Early today the
captured negroes we're brought to
Palestine and a camp formed for them
on the outskirts of the village, where
they are guarded.
The feeling here is very high, and
for time it was feared that attempts
would be made to lynch the negroes,
but the presence of the soldiers and
sheriff's deputies is believed sufficient
guarantee for their safety.
The problem of what to do with the
captured negroes who survived the
war of determination is one that is
puzzling the authorities.

King Alfonso Of Spain.

that a rupture between the Spanish
government and the Vatican appears
imminent.
At San Sebastian, Don Jaime, the
pretender. has issued a manifesto in
which he says that he will lead the
Carlists in the battle which he init
mates may be coming soon.
The Vatican has declared that the
negotiations looking to a revision of
the concordant cannot be continued
until the imperial decree permitting
non-Catholic societies to display the
insignia of public worship has been
withdrawn.
Canalejas has responded that he
cannot cancel the program which the
government has announced. In some
quarters it is believed that the holy
see counts upon the fall of the govern
ment. Canalejas, however, is said to
have had the assurance of the kings
support at the time he determined
upon his plan for religious reforms.
The general situation is complicated
by the unrest among the miners in
the Catalonian provinces and the &C.
casional clashes between the Catholic
and non-Catholic elements through
out the country
The excitement growing out of the
agitation of the religious question
rapidly is increasing 1t is apparent
that the feeling between the Catholics
and the anti-Catholics is growing in
bitterness as the days go by, and
there is every indication that the sit
uation will become more tense 1t is
true, however, that the feeling is more
political than otherwise.

ment With Elevator Company.
Chicago.-In final effort to OBJ
tain settlement with the Otis
Elevator company, general strike Of
building trades was decided upon at a
conference of thirty-seven unions. AL
ready 635 men have gone out and it is
predicted by the leaders of the union
lists that $500 men will be on strike
within a day or two. The only union
not affected by the order is that of
the carpenters.

remove machinists from elevator con-

work to belong strictly to elevator
constructors.
It is said the company has contracts
on thirty-seven buildings, now in the
course of construction here, and that
work will be stopped on all Of item.
