SHORT OVER A MILLION

Louisville, July 23-August Ropke,
the assistant secretary and loookkeep-
er of the Fidelity Trust company, is
believed to have made away with ST.
100000, the entire surplus of the
concern, according to a statement
made this afternoon by John w. Barr
president of the company. Ropke
was heavy speculator and lost large
sums, it is said, in Wall street and the
Chicago Board of Trade.
The question was put to Barr:
Does this amount represent Ropke's
net defalcation?' Barr replied:
II can oily say the entire surplus Of
the company has been wiped OUT
The loss will be met by an issue Of
stock, .aggregating s1,0o0,O00 which
will be issued by the stock holders at
par. The banks capital stock kis not
impaired.
The Fidelity Trust company repre-
sents the wealth of Louisville, and
notwithstanding the serious blow,
there is no apprehension over the out
come of the shortage. Stockholders
have already agreed to subscribe the
full amount of the new issue.
Ropke has been in the employ Of
the bank eighteen years. 1t is UNDER
stood that an investigation of his
books will cover the entire period.
Ropke was arrested two weeks ago
when a $4,000 shortage was accident
ally discovered.

intimation that if both parties would

said he does not believe there is any,
thing to be gained by discussing arbi-
tration, and points out that the men
have offered to submit to arbitration
the arbitrators to be e. R. Clark of

merce and P. H. Morrissey, president
Of the Railway Employees association,
who arbitrated the same question in

ment:
They want to arbitrate if they are

LONDON POLICE BELIEVE AMER
CAN PHYSICIAN is HEAD I
ING FOR CANADA
DISGUISED AS A PREACHER
Steward of Ocean Liner Has Suspt-
cions Aroused by Antics of
Cleric's Eyebrow and
Tells Captain

London, July 23-The belief is held
by Scotland Yard that DR.. Crippen
and Ethel Leneve are on board the
steamship Sardiner. which sailed from
Havre for Montreal on July IS.
1t is variously stated that Inspector
Dow has sailed for Canada, in search
70" them.
According to a circumstantial story
told at Havre, two hours before the
departure of the Sandman, two pas
sengers who registered as Rev. Rob-
inson and Son, boarded the vessel.
The former was attired in clerical
garb He wore spectacles and had
short and apparently new grown
beard. The newcomers engaged a
second class cabin.
No suspicion was attached to the
couple until the steward noticed that
Robinson's eyebrow was slightly sep
arated from his forehead. on fur
Their watching the steward was assur-
ed the alleged son was a girl.
The captain of the Sandman sent
wireless description of the two to
the French police, giving it as his
opinion that the couple were really
Cripipen and the Lensve woman. The
French police communicated with the
British authorities, who are of the
opinion that Crippen and his COM
panion, after fleeing from London,
separated in South France, and re-
joined each other at Marseilles trav-
cling together from that place to
Havre.
The present clue is the first of real
promise which the authorities have
secured since Crippen and his typist
disappeared, and the body Of wo-
man believed by the police to be the
wife Of the physician, was unearthed
in the cellar of the Crippen home.
1t appears the detectives are sat-
isfed that Crippen and mis- compan-
ion fed to France and made close
connections with steamr sailing for
Canada. They had time in which to
do this before a general alarm askir 6
for their apprehension, reached the
police of foreign countries.

of the coast artillery corps were killed
here; two were probably fatally in

The dead artillerymen were attached
to the SiXty-ninth company.
The accident occurred in connection
with the coast artillery target prac-
tice, in which shore batteries were
fired upon target of canvas, 60 feet
by 80, and towed up Hampton roads in
such manner as to be comparable to
a battleship. The shore guns were to
be engaged in battle practice with
the moving fleet, which was towed
up Hampton roads about four miles
out and supposed to represent a hos
tile fleet sailing up the Potomac to at
tack Washington. According to plans
of officers of the coast artillery, the
firing tests were to be conducted on
larger scale than had ever been at
tempted anywhere.
Officers of the coast artillery here
gave as their opinion, unofficially, that
the explosion was caused by the igna-
ton of the charge before the breech
lock had been closed, and probably
was caused by the wind blowing down
the mouth of the gun No official re-
port has been received at the war de-
partment.
