WOMAN'S SCREAMS

FOUND.
SCOTLAND YARDS DETECTIVES
THINK cRlPPEN SHOT
BELLE ELMoRE.

London, July 1.-THE first story
of what may have been the actual
manner of .committal of the crime
was told yesterday by neighbor of
DR.. Hawley H. Crippen, in the cellar
of whose home was unearthed the
body believed by the police to be that
of the physicians wife, who was
known on the stage as Belle Gilmore.
Since the discovery of the body and
the disappearance of DR.. Crippen and
his typist, Miss Ethel Clara Leneve,
the Scotland Yard detectives have
inquired diligently among those liv
ing in the vicinity of the Crippen
home in Hilldrop Crescent, North
London, for some information that
would throw light upon the domestic
habiths and relations of the American
doctor and his actress wife. Nothing
helpful wa learned untll today, when
the proprietress of small shop at
the rear of the Crippcn residence, told
| of hearing a woman's screams and
| pleas for mercy arising seemingly
from the cellar in which the burned
and mutilated corpse was found later.
Heard Woman's Screams.
Mrs. Crippen disappeared in Febru-
AIRY. 1t was four or five months ago
when the screams were heard, the
woman said Her shop overlooks a
| little garden back of the Crippen
home To the police the shopkeeper
said:
Il had often heard revolver practice
in the garden. One night about four
or five months ago, / cannot place
the time more exactly, was awakened
by a woman's cries. 1t was midnight.
The screams appeared to come from
Dr. Crippen's house. / listened and
heard a wor1an's voice pleading:

were from a woman in the basement

Police Find Revolver.
While the police authorities were.
exhausting their resources yesterday
to lay hands upon DR.. Hawley H.
Crippen, the American and his woman
typist, physicians were examining the
mutilated body of his. wife with a
view to determining the manner in
which the murder was done
The finding in the cellar of re-
volver gave rise to the report that
the vaudeville artist had been shot
before the body was batterer into an
Iunrecognizable mass and buried in
quicklime in the cellar of the Grip
pen home at Hildrop Crescent, North
London. 1t also was reported that
traces of poison had been found by
the doctors. The latter will present
their theories as to the cause Of
death at an inquest to be held today.
The police consider the story Of
the shop woman who told of hearing
the reports of revolver practice in the
Crippen garden on different occasions
and later of being aroused during the
might by won1an's screams, signif-
cant when connected with the fact
that a revolver was found near by

WISCONSIN FISH
INDUSTRY GROWS
INCREASE FROM, s2os,ooo IN 1890
TO $72a.658 IN
1909.
MORE THAN TWENTY MILLION
POUNDS OF ALL KINDS TAKEN
LAST SEASON.

The commercial fisheries of Wiscon-
sin show a remarkable increase dur
ing the last eighteen years. "Occa-
1ionally press reports call attention to
the so-called scarcity of fish in the
great lakes, said Superintendent OF
Fisheries James Nevin yesterday. But
he submitted the following statement
of pounds of all species of fish caught
for commercial purpose. and the mar
ket value for the year 1890, 1905, anc
1909.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1910-07-20

This clearly shows steady grow,
an increase of approximately Ito per
cent in the number of pounds from
1890 to 1909 and over 245 per cent in
the market value. 1t is convincing
that reports of a dearth of fish in
waters adjacent to the state of Wis
consin, is purely erroneous The men
engaged in this industry have been
receiving their share of the prosperity
of the country in the increase OF
value of the product they put on the
market
In catching this immense number
of fish 2,29S miles of nets we're useo
in the waters of Lakes Superior, Micn-
igan and Green Bay; 612 men were
employed in 1890 and in 1909, 1,03l
men were engaged N the busine-s.
The value of all nets used in 1890 was
s145,710 as compared with 500. 1892. SO
in 1909 The fisherman of today is
not the fisherman of the past. In the
old days they used saiIboats in their
vocation stone for weights to SUD-
merge their nets and strips of wood
for floats to keep them spread. To
day one and all have either a steam
tug or gasoline launch, lead for
weights, aluminium corks for floats
and steam hoists to lift their nets.

A White Serge Suit

NF COURSE. it is perishable. but that
does not preclude the possibility OF
~ it's adaptation. for white serge is
the sturdy material that can with
stand admirably the wear of a visit
to the cleaners. There Is a certain
niche that the white serge suit fills.
and wise is she who can plan to add
one to the wardrobe of the coming sea-
son.
In the first place. do not make the
mistake of selecting skirt too heavily
pleated, for the weight will be unbear-
able. but choose rather the pattern
which has the straight panel at the
front and the introduction of pleats at
the side.
On the jacket. which, to be strictly up
to date, must be hip length, the sugges-
ton Of black is always. excellent. A
narrow band of silk is effective when
outlining the cuffs or collar, and many
models are showing the use OF heavy
silk braid and cord of white.
If you decide upon revers. they must
be long, the first fastening at the waist

The sleeves have very little fulness,
and the buttons are extremely large.
Frequently square. pointed or round

And when lining this. select soft silk

Two Hats or One :?

TTYHEN we go away on the long

far-away friend, We want all
the trunk room We can squeeze for the
clothes we may or may not need, and
the question Of hats for proper occa-
sions becomes a most serious one. The
softly draped turban OF maline or cloth
of-gold Is too rich in possibilities to be
left at home. but the large brimmed
garden hat Is sure to be a necessity,
with summer in the distance. Why not
combine the two?
Make, or have your milliner make for
you, the draped maline turban, wreath
ing 1t in tiny flowers of your favorits
color. See that 1t fits the head comfort
ably and at becoming angle. Then
have her make for you a wide curving
or enveloping brim OF white chantilly

flowers and with just skeleton crown

ton OF net and Irish lace insertion.
The band Of lace encircles the stock

of the jabot. The pointed end Of this
is ornamented with a strip that runs

For street suits black and white Is In

successfully used by our tailors here for
the smart models.
DECISION AND TENDENCY
Wolfe. varied with silk stripes, dots
and blocks, and Of very open mesh, Is q
safe and becoming decision for afternoon
gowns. There Is contrasting under
slip. generally Of supple silk. that never
can be associated with the old-time ALI
concealing Innings.
With the afternoon gowns there are
carried parasols Of black chantilly lace
over white.
Cashmere shawls. or silks and wooden
materials printed in the designs and
colors OF these beautiful squares, are
fashioned into the most exquisite gowns.
There Is a delightfully."- quieting effect In
the softened tones OF these fabrics
making possible any brilliant touch that
the designer considers necessary.
The oollarless gown Is here. and so
well intrenched Is It behind the ap-
prevail OF the famous makers and the
becoming acceptance OF well-dressed
Parfsennes that its place is permanent
in the spring campaign
There Is a tendency toward the styles
OF 1880, with fuller skirts, fichu lines
and the soft curves that are a decided
departure from the straight suppressed
figures OF the last two seasons.
LACE PREDoMINATEs
Huge squares. triangies and panels Of
embroidery are used to ornament many
OF the spring walking suits. These
braided or embroidered patches are
everywhere-on the bodice. sleeves and
tunic-and the size OF the design has
determined that large effective stitches
must be used. SO to the clever woman
who wishes to use this method of deco
ration for spring dresses OF silk or linen
frocks Tor summer there Is not much
difficulty.
The other evening at Sara Bernhardts
theater (and. by the way. she is just
as convincingiy young as ever in her
role Of Jeanne dArc) there were the
most gorgeous gowns and wraps. Lace
trimming predeminated as tunics or
fiounces. and the dead shades OF rose
were most general.
OF course. the effect OF Rostand's play,
"Chantecler." Is being felt. especially in
the millinery circles. for the iridescent
feathers Of the lord OF the barnyard are
decidedly good looking on hats. and the
French are quick to bring into favor
