MURDER
MYSTERY MYSTERY MAY MAY Be De
NEAR SOLUTION
Alexander Chanowski Brought
Here from Prison, Said to
Have Made Revelations.

What the local police consider the
most important clue yet in the Father
Ansion murder case was discovered to-
day when Alexander Chanowski, 26
years old, who has been serving two
year sentence in Trenton, charged with
having sent threatening letters to a
Passaic priest, made damaging admis-
sions to ergeant Tuite, of the detective
bureau at police headquarters.
Chanowsh, who is 26 years old, was
arrested in Jersey City about six
months ago. He was convicted of
sending threatening letters to the Pas
sale priest and got two-year term.
He said he was a Polish revolutionist,
and while in Jail is said to have int
mated that he knew a whole lot about
the murder of the Newark prest.
He was taken from the Trenton
prison today to Jersey City and later
brought to this city. At headquarters
he was put under a severe questioning
by Detective Sergeant Tuite and others.
His wife came from Jersey City and
made scene.
I think that at last we have a clew
to the real murderers of Father An
sion," said Tuite, as he left headquar-
ters. There was much jubilation in the
detective bureau at what Chanowski is
alleged to have told of the murder.

BOUT NOT
FOR bELLEV|LLE,
FLYNN'S ED|CT
Changes Mind About Permitting
Cross-Hurley Fight at
Hillside Park.

Chief of Police Michael Flynn, of
Belleville, today declared that he will
not permit the managers of the Ven
dome A. c. to put on the boxing bout
between Leach Cross and Battling Hur-
ley In Hillside Park next Tuesday
night. This action Of the chief was
determined on after he had talked with
several influential citizens of the town.
Yesterday afternoon w. E. II. Thai
Ter. manager of the park. called on the
chief and asked permission to transfer
the bout scheduled at the New Audi
torium In this city 10 his amusement
park The chief turned down the propo-
sition cold. Later. it was stated, the
promoters of the club went to the chief
and got his permission to hold the box
ing match and arrangements were
made accordingly. Today. however, the
Belleville chief experienced another
change of heart.
when I gave my permission last
night to the promoters of the Vendome
A. c." said the chief at noon today,
II didn't know that Captain Brown,
of the Second precinct. would not per-
nit the bout in the New Auditorium
The promoters of this contest took an
unfair advantage when they didn't
tell me that You can state positively
that the bout will not be held in
Belleville. A short time ago a cousin
of mine, Dan Keefe. appeared before
the police committee and asked for
permission to hold boxing bouts.
advised the committee not to permit it.
If would not stand for my cousin
you can imagine that 1 will not stand
for others. II the promoters go ahead
and advertise the bout for Hillside
Park they are making mistake. I
will not permit the bout, and the pro-
moters might as well understand it
now as later"

Against Others Aspiring to

President Woodrow Wilson, of

Of the State convention: that he will
consider 1t civic duty to accept the
nomination and be elected by the larg-

That is the way former Senator Rob-

other Democrats of prominence repre-

Hudspeth had a conference with DR..
Wilson-not to ask the head of Prince

of seeking the nomination, but to ascer-

Result of Conference Not Told.
The conferees positively declined to
discuss the result of the meeting or
what happened there. but the state

echoes the sentiment of others whe
were present as well.
MY opinion of DIR. Wilson is in no
wise disparaging to the other candi-
dates named" continued Mr.. Hudspeth-
''They are all gentlemen of standing.
and it is creditable to the party to
have so many high-class men seeking
the nomination.
Ordinarily I believe there would be

As far back as the legislative session

own county.
Senat Silzer has still two years to
serve in the Senate. where, although
In an almost hopeless minority for four
years, he proved one of the most val
lued and influential members.
Many OF his friends are inclined to
believe that Senator Silzer may finally
determine TO remain In the Senate until
the expiration of his present term, in
order to see accomplished some of the
reforms he has been persistently urg-
ing.
Forces an Inquiry.
Two, years ago after a determined
struggle he succeeded in forcing an
inquiry into the cause Of disuse OF the

He graduated from High School in

AS a lawyer he stands high in his
profession and has on more than one
occasion been member of the board

members of the bar. Senator Silzer
has taken an active interest in politics
since he attained his majority. Before
his election as senator Mr.. Silzer
served as an alderman and as chair
man of the Middlesex County Board Of
Treeholders. His popularity was shown
in 1909, when he was reelected senator
bv a plurality of almost 2,00n in a

LONDON, July 15.-The first story o7
what may have been the actual con-
mission Of the crime was told today nv
a neighbor Of DIR. Hawley H. Crippen.
In the cellar of whose house was IN
earthed the body believed l,y the polio.
to be that of the physicians wife. Who
was known on the stage as Belle e
more.
Since the discovery of the body ana
the disappearance of DIR. crippen and
his typist Miss Ethel Clara Lenevs.
the Scotland Yard detectives have IN
quired diligently among those living IN
the vicinity of the Crippen home in
Hilldrop Crescent, North London. for
some information that would throw
light upon the domestic habits and re-
lafions Of the American doctor and his
actress wife Nothing helpful was
learned until today. when the pro-
prietoress of a small shop at the re ar
of the Crippens residence told of hear
ing woman's screams and pleas Tor
mercy arising. seemingly, from the
cellar IN which the burned and mutt
lated corpse later found.
Shopvvomna Heard Screams.
Mrs. Crippen disappeared in Fehru-
ary last. 1t was four or five months
ago when the screams were heard, the
woman said. Her shop overIooks
little garden back of the Crippen home.
To the police the shopkeeper said:
II had often heard revolver practise
in the garden. One night about four
nv
time more exactly, was awakened by
a woman's cries. II was midnight.
The screams appeared to come from
DIR. Crippen's house. I listened and
heard wonan's voice pleading. Don't.
oh. don't
To me it seemed that the cries were
from woman in the basement of the
house occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Grip
pen. AS nothing developed further
soon forgot tine occurrence and did not
recall it until yesterday, when
learned OF the tragic discovery.
Rumors of the whereabouts of Grip
pen and the Leneve woman from many
sources reached the Scotland Yard OIL
cials during the day, but. while they
were considered, they received little
credence.
This evening Superintendent Froest
made the following formal declaration:
Scotland Yard Thinks He's in London.
"Alf clews concerning Crippen and
Miss Leneve received thus far have
proved to be false. In my opinion.
Crippen either has gone to America or
is hiding in the suburbs of London.
The physicians who are examining
the dismembered body were unable to
complete their work today and accord
ing1y the inquest which was TO have
been held tomorrow has been postponed
until Monday. At that time the medi-
cal. men hope to be in a position to
state the cause or causes of the wom-

will also be determined is a matter OF
doubt, but the Importance of this point
has not been overlooked. Though she
