9 FIREMEN NEAR DEATH
IN n. Y. WAREHOUSE FIRE
Overcome by Ammonia and
Smoke-LosS Is 100000

NEW YORK, July 15-Nine firemen
We're overcome by ammonia and smoke
in a two-alarm fire which started in
the storage warehouse of Linde & Sons
shortly before last midnight and was
not under control until some three
hours later. The warehouse on Jay
street is in the very center of a dis
trict filled with commission houses,
storage houses and shops which con-
tanned millions upon millions of dollars
worth of infiammable material, and the
firemen worked hard to confine the
flames to the building in which they
started.
The loss was about $1O0, 900, to which
may be added a considerable loss to
dealers in perlshable fruit and vege-
tables. arising from the fact that the
commission merchants doing business
near the scene of the fire could not
reach theri places of business inside
the fire lines in many instances for
several hours.

PITTMAN CASE MAY REST
WITH CONSUL OLIVARES
Government Decides to Await
Further Reports of Cruelty

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Unless fur
ther neglect and mistreatment is shown
by the Madriz government toward
William Pittman, the American en-
gineer now held as a prisoner of war
in Managua, the state department will
leave the case in the hands of United
States Consul Olivares.
The filthy quarters in which the pris-
oner was kept before Consul Olivares
visited him and the failure to furnish
the prisoner with food will be remem-
bered by the department when day
of reckoning with the Managua gov
ernment comes, however.
The state department claims to be
ignorant of the reported intention of
the Madriz commissioners to visit this
city on a peace mission.

JAPAN FOR PEACE,
IS STATEMENT At
DICKINSON DINNER.
Count Komuri, Foreign Minister,
Says That Diplomacy Can
Handle All Questions
PRAISE FOR PRESIDENT TAFT
Secretary of War Guest of Jap
anese Officials at Ban
quet in Toxic
PRAISE FOR PRESIDENT TAFT
Associated Press1

= TOXIC, July 15.-"Unhappily forces
for evil, for unknown but sinister pur-
poses, constantly are endeaVoring by
false reports or other methods, to Gre
ate conditions of i'll will or distrust
between two neighboring peoples.
Their relations are too firmly estab-
lished and their interests are too dis
tinct to admit of the possibility of any
question arising between Japan and
the United States which will not yield
readily to the ordinary process Of
diplomacy. The increased and more
intimate exchange of views between
the two governments dlspel all appre-
tensions on that score"
BANQUET TO DICKINSON
This utterance was made tonight by
Foreign Minister Count Komura In
toasting j. M. Dickinson, the American
secretary of war, at banquet given
by Count Komura in honor of the
American cabinet officer Mr.. Dickn-
son and his party arrived at Yokohama
this afternoon on board the steamer
Siberia, and after an informal recep-
ton at the American consulate came
on to Toxic for tonights function.
The dinner was a brilliant affair.
Eighty persons sat down to the table,
including Marquis Katsura, the Japan
ese prime minister, and five members
of the cabinet: admirals, generals and
officers and their ladies. After toasts
to President Taft and the emperor had
been proposed. respectively, by Count
Komura and Thomas J. O'Brien, the
American ambassador. Count Komura,
in proposing the health of Mr.. Dickin-
son, referred to previous visits to Japan
of President Taft.
"These visits I recall" said the
foreign minister. mot only because his
personality endeared him to all, but
because his insight and calm judgment
enabled him to appreciate the true
value of the sentiments entertained by
Japan for America"
DICKINSON RESPONDS
Mr.. Dickinson, in responding, de-
clared that Count Komura had an
alyzed accurately President Taft and
the people of the United States, and
said it was fortunate that there would
be found at the head of affairs in
America a man possessing keen
knowledge of the far east.
"There is no reason for a breach of
friendship between the United States
and Japan" continued Mr.. Dickinson.
Sound judgment must predominate.
False reports or evil suggestions have
not been justified by any action either
by Japan or America. My country de-
sires and is advocating peace and
arbitration perhaps more than any
other nation In the world. There is
reason to believe that Japan and
America with the passing years will
become more closely cemented in the
bonds of abiding friendship"
Mr.. Dickinson and his party. who
are guests of the American ambassa-
dor, will be given an audience by the
emperor tomorrow.

Three Liners Due Within a Few
Days Expected to Bring
Physician Sought
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, July 15.-Disappointed
today in their search of the Lusi-
tania for DIR. Crippen, the police were
confident tonight that he is some
where on the high seas bound for this
country, a view in which his wife S
family share.
Mrs. Theresa Hum, a sister of Belle
Elmore. said tonight:
II think the doctos fled for South
ampton as soon as he heard that Scot
land Yard was looking for him. 1t is
doubtful if he would have tried the
continent, for the London police are
in close touch with all the capitals
of Europe, and a foreigner is always
conspicuous"
The st. Paul is due here from
Southampton tomorrow, and the
Cedric from Liverpool and the CleVe-
land from Southampton Sunday.
The three liners will be searched.
Mrs. HUM gave details of her sis
ter's first acquaintance with Dr. Grip
pen. She showed a wedding announce
ment dated September l, 1892, which
said that DIR. H. H. Crippen had mar
ried Corrine K. Turner and that the
couple would be at home after Sep
tember 20 at 1106 North Leonard ave-
nue., st. Louis.
"There seems to be some misunder-
standing about my sisters name" ex-
planned Mrs. HUM. Her real name,
Kuigunde Makamarkski, was hard to
remember and worse to spell, so she
took the name of Cora Turner. l new
er knew her to use any other name un-
til she went to St. Louis, where she
sought employment as Corrinne Tur-
ner and wrote me to keep that name
If / wished my letters to reach her.
First she was a housemaid, but her
good looks and laughing disposition
brought her an offer of place on the
stage and it was while she was play
ing in a ST. Louis music hall that she
attracted DR.. Crippen's attention, who
sought and obtained an introduction

BLAMES FRENCH WOMAN
FOR DEATH OF SONS WIFE
Aged Father Says 'I'II Not Believe
Him Guilty

'I know my son did not kill his wife, +"
said aged Myron Crippen, father of DR..
Hawley H. Crippen, yesterday, "it was
that French woman who is the guilty
one. If my son had wanted to rid
himself of his wife, he, with his su-
perior education and knowledge of med
icine, would have employed some
means to put her out of the way with
out exciting suspicion.
But he did not kill her, for he loved
her too we'll. I was with them for a
year. and during that time 1t seemed
as though they loved each other deep
ly. He was attentive to her and Law
ished gifts on her.
Here is the way I think the mur-
der occurred. BY chance the two women
met. My sons wife upbraided this
Frenchwoman, and this Lavelle wom-
ans Gallo temper got the better of
her and violence resulted.
Suppose that Henry had wanted to
get rid of his wife. He could very cas-
lily have trumped up circumstances to
make it appear that she had died of
natural causes, and his signature on
the death certificate perhaps would
have been sufficient to close the case.
There are subtle poisons that leave no
trace, and he could easily have used
one of them.
iii never believe he is guilty or
murder. I watched him grow from a
baby to manhood. I know every turn
of his nature. Murder would never en-
ter into his heart.
His wife was a sweet woman, who
was slavishly devoted to her husband.
She was quick of temper. and her
meeting with this Frenchwoman could
only mean one thing-a fight"
The elder Crippen, a gentle man
nered old man, is almost prostrated by
the sorrow that has come to him in
his declining years. Tears glisten in
his eyes when he speaks of the son
who is now under suspicion of mur-
der

and then to have this terrible disgrace
come upon me-" he said. my poor

 Not believing their organization to be a trust and. therefore, not rightly subject to the antitrust law, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engineers have telegraphed to President Taft "their regrets that it should be deemed necessary to secure an appropriation for the purpose of prosecuting labor organizations" The action of President Taft, in procur- ing rejection of a provision exempting labor organizations from the opera . ton of the antitrust law, is in ef- feet an official declaration that labor unions are trusts, and that they should be placed in the same list with the big railroad and industrial trusts and subjected to similar penalties. It may be interpreted as meaning that strikes are illegal in industries of in- terstate character.
