Wile N an American lDcntsl IN
London Disappears
Myset,c,isIy
MUT|lAT[O BODY FOUND


thitvd iTess special
London. July ti.-Two cofflus
we're taken today TO the home of nr
llawley Crippen, the American den
tist. on filldrop Crescent, indicating
that another corpse has been found
In the house besides the one that
was uuearthed last night in the Gel
lar. The police claim that the body
found last night was that of Mrs
Crippeu, nee Belle Elmore. the noted
singer.
All persons have been barred from
the premises and the police are veil
ing their movements.
DR.. Crippen is charged with mur-
der. He is said to have fled in com
pany with a woman whom he repre-
sentcd as his wife. None of the neigh
bors have seen Mrs. Crippen since
February when Crippen announced
that his wife had gone to America.
Shortly thereafter an announcement
of her death appeared in the papers.
The dead woman is believed to be
Mrs. Crippen. She was famous as
a theatrical singer. She was born iu
Philadelphia and YVES the daughter
of noble Polish parents. 1t Is under
stood that her mother and father
hid their identity from the girl, but
later she discovered VINO they real
ly were and went to Europe to claim
an estate.
The police have notified the au-
thoritieS throughout the world TO
watch for Dr. Crippen and Ethel
Cora Letenen, stenographer
The police say that DR.. Crippon
practiced at various places in the
United States. The officers are prac-
tically certain that he and Miss Lete-
ven left here Saturday. 1t is said he
told the police during their last visit
to his house that the story about his
wife going to America was untrue.
He said they quarreled and he inven-
ted the story SO that the neighbors
might learn that she had left him.
The two caskets were taken to the
house to better facilitate the hand
ling of the multilated body. The po-
lice say that positive Identification is
impossible.

NEW CADILLAC CAUSES
FURORE IN AUTO RANKS
1911 Model Said to Be CiasSieSt
Car Company Has Yet
Put Out

The 1911 Cadillac which arrived last
week has proved a sensation In auto
mobile circles. The salesroom OF the
Don Lee company has been crowded
daily and Manager M. II. Green reports
the booking of fourteen sales since
the arrival of the car.
The first carload consisted of three
touring cars. The second shipment to
arrive Monday will consist of demi-
tonneau models. These are said to
be by far the classiest looking cars
the Cadillac company has ever put on
the market. Much interest has been
shown in the coming of this type.
Three more carloads of cars are on
the way and 1t Is expected that three
more will be shipped within the next
week.
Although the demand at present is
principally for touring cars and road
sters, there has been some inquiry re-
garding limousines. and four orders
have been booked for early fall de-
livery. The Cadillac limousine will be
richly finished and should prove more
popular than ever before. Five of the
closed type were sold last season.
All the subagency territory Is being
rapidly taken up, the following agen-
cies having been closed: San Bernar-
dino, e. A. Levereau; Redlands, A. r.
Brown; Long Beach, C. e. Bellows;
Santa Ana, H. M. Kelley; Santa Maria,

AUTO REVOLUTIONIZES
RURAL DISTRICT LIFE
Effect on Roads Has Been Good
and Far Reaching

That the automobile holds the pub
lie eye is impressively shown by the
enormous amount of space given to
the automobile in magazines of all
descriptions. Not only are large and
expensive magazines published, which
are entirely devoted to the automobile,
but 99 out of 100 newspapers have
reg lar automobile page.
. To people who have not kept close
touch with the trend of the automobile
situi ton, the most remarkable feature
of the whole industry is the phenom-
email increase in farm automobiles In
the past two years. The social life of
the country districts have been revo-
lutionized and people brought into
closer touch with each other by the
greatest time and distance annihilator
of modern times.
The effect on roads has been far
reaching and beneficial to an extent
that it is impossible to estimate. This
certainly demonstrates that the motor
car industry is not governed by the
same conditions as the bicycle indus
try.
Bankers and other men, who from
the very nature of their business must
be cautious and conservative. have
predicted all sorts of dire results from
lack of demand, that their reasoning
was from false premises Is shown by
the steady demand for all kinds of
cars and an analysis Of the distribu-
ton of the wealth of the country.
The demand for the higher-priced
cars is steadily increasing and shows
q healthy and natural growth. The
automobile has come to stay and has
not seen its best days by any means.

TRUCK WINS
IN ECONOMY CONTEST
Thirteen Manufacturers Repre-
sented in Heavy Car Con-
test Held in Philadelphia

With an expense of $.01285 per ton
mile Franklin truck was the winner
In the manufacturers division of class
A in the motor truck economy contest
recently held in Philadelphia. The
winner had a carrying capacity or one
ton and was pitted against cars rang
ing in capacity up to one and halr
tons. 1t carried a full load through
the run of two days, the course OF
which was from Camden, N. j., to At
lantic City and back, distance Of l2O
miles.
The expense chargeable to the sew
eral contestants covered not only gaso-
line and oil, but time due to delays,
requirements and repairs. The winning
truck, however, had no expense except
for fuel. It's expense was $.O0471 less
than that of the second truck, which
had a score of $.01756. The expense
of the winner of third place was $.O23S2,
and in the case of fourth place the ex-
pense was $.02531, in each case the fig
ure being that per ton mile.
The highest cost per ton mile was
$.06S14, or more than five times as
much as the figure for the Franklin
truck. The average expense of the
trucks which finished, fifteen In num-
ber out of total of eighteen, was
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-04

s.O3575; excluding the Franklin, the
average score was $.O3738. The ex-
pense of six was above the average,
and that of nine was below the aver
age.
The total expense for the Franklin
truck was $1.54172, all included under
the head of gasoline and oil, the road
score having been perfect. The time
schedule required an average speed Of
fifteen miles an hour a touring car
speed, and the run proved sufficiently
arduous so that three of the eighteen
starters did not finish. w. r. Coughtry
drove the Franklin.
The number 13. the hoodoo of which
has been often defied by the Franklin,
figured repeatedly in this event. The
Franklin carried the contest number
13. Thirteen manufacturers were rep
resented in its class. In addition the
start was made on a Friday, and the
finish was on the thirteenth of the
month.

DESCENDANT OF EMPEROR
USES AN ELECTRIC AUTO

One of the proudest boasts of Ma
poleon l was that he would be not the
descendant but the founder of a great
family. The blood of the BonaparteS
flows in the veins of several OF the
reigning houses of Europe and not
few of their names have achieved hon
orable distinction In various walks OF
life since France became a republic.
Among them was the late Col. ChaS.
Bonaparte of the French army whose
son, Mr.. aJerome K. Bonaparte, makes
his winter residence in Washington.
One of the latter's recent acquisitions
is a Waverley electric roadster, the
new type of electric that has made
such a hit with men all over the coun-
try and has already greatly widened
the field for electric carriages.
The rumor that the electric Is "only
a Woman's car has been completely
set at rest by the appearance of this
thoroughly masculine type of road
ster with its long wheel base, extended
front hood, rakish tenders and rumble
seat, folding wind shield and wheel
steer, a car that has created a real
sensation wherever 1t has been seen.
An electric that makes a speed OF
twenty-five miles an hour and may be
equipped with batteries for any de-
sired mileage, while preserving the
easy riding qualities, blessed noiseless-
ness, simplicity of control and free
dom from mechanical troubles which
are such desirable features in any mo-
tor car, must be regarded as an i'm
portant achievement in electric vehicle
construction.
1t is quite in keeping with the In
herited characteristics of the Bona
parties that one of that name should
be the first to introduce the new car
in Washington, where so many Wav-
erleys of the more familiar designs
are to be seen.
Mr.. Jerome Bonaparte. however, is
not the first of his family to ride in q
Waverley, his uncle, the former sec
retary of the navy, having had one for
several years.
