CRIPPEN DON'T TALK
He and Companion Slept Sleep of Elk
haustiOn Last Night.

Quebec, Aug. 2.-Dr. Crippen and
Miss Leneve slept the sleep of ex-
haustion last night. Crippen and the
girl face two weeks more of monoton-
Gus waiting when unless something
unforeseen occurs they will start for
London to stand trial. Crippen does
not talk and the detectives expect
little or no help from him in un-
ravelling the mystery. Accordingly
they resign their hope that Miss Lee
neve may reveal enough to aid them
materially in reconstructing the cir
cumstances leading up to the disap-
pearance of Belle Gilmore. The girl
is being treated with the utmost con-
sideration and she appeared much
better in mind and body today.

SEVERE FINES FOR
BO0TLEGGERS
Edwards, Wilson and Huff
Arraigned Before Judge
Palmer.

A. E. Edwards was found guilty in
Judge Palmcr's court this afternoon
to the charge of employing John Huff
to bring liquor in excess of the lawful
amount into the city of Wenatchee
Without making argument Attorney
Sorenson for the defendant appealed
the case to the superior court and a
bond was fixed at $3.50.
This is the case in which John Huff
and Chas. Wilson last Monday morn
ing were apprehended for bringing
three barrels of beer in a wagon from
Leavenworth to this city. The testi-
mony introduced at the trial this af-
ternoon developed the fact that A. E.
Edwards secured a dray in Wenatchee
Saturday afternoon and in company
with Chas. Wilson drove to Leaven-
worth for the purpose of securing six
barrels of beer. In Leavenworth at
Blake's saloon Edwards, Huff and
Wilson assisted in the work of load
ing the barrels. Edwards told Huff
that he was sick and would go home
on the train. He asked Huff to drive
the load to Wenatchee and although
no compensation was promised Huff
understood he would receive payment
for his services.
When the evidence was all in the
defendant attorney, Nels Sorenson,
announced that he would make an
argument but later changed his mind
after Prosecuting Attorney Fred
Kemp presented the states case. 1t
was shown that the man who en-
ploys another to break the law is as
guilty as the servant and upon this
point the judge rendered his verdict
finding the defendant guilty as
charged and assessing a fine of 500
and costs John Huff was fined $50
and costs, being less culpable in the
eyes of the court. When the appeal
was made and the bond fixed at $3.50
Attorney Sorenson objected to the
amount but was over1ruled.
At the trial this morning Charles
Wilson plead guilty to the charge
and paid a fine of $50 and costs.
Huff had not yet paid his fine on
going to press, but was making an
effort to secure the money.

BA[[|NGER ASKED
To RESIGN
Report That Senator Crane
Had Conference to
That Effect.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. mo state
ment was forthcoming from official
quarters here today regarding the
meeting between Senator Crane and
Secretary Ballinger in Minneapolis
yesterday. When it was suggested
to the White House officials that
they may have felt called upon in
order to bring about party harmony
to request the secretary of the in
terror to resign, the only answer was
that Senator Crane would have to
be asked about that phase of the
matter. Secretary Norton admitted
today that there was more to Cranes
visit to the president Friday than
appeared in the newspapers. 1t is
said Cranes visit was instigated
more by certain party leaders in
Guiding the secretary to the presi-
dent than the president himself. The
president has received many letters
suggesting that Ballinger, because
of the attacks made on him, was
proving an embarrassment in max
ing plans TO rthe coming congression-
al campaign.
Taft having stood by Ballinger
through all his troubles and still be-
lieving in him, has refused to hold
these complaints. They have had
their effect on others connected with
the administration and party, how
ever, and it is reported here that
certain of these leaders have taken
it upon themselves to handle the
situation, but Ballinger remains to
be reckoned with. He has repeated
ly declared he would not resign and
among his friends there is a strong
belief that he will not resign until
directly asked to do so by the presi-
dent. This, it is declared here, the
president will not do. Following
Senator Cranes interview with the
president, the report spread that it
had to do mainly with Ballinger and
that the report through the west
to survey the general political con-
ditions would be adjunct to the prin-
cipal mission. The idea that Crane
was tn meet and deal with Ral1ingar
was so strongly denied by Secretary
Norton that the report finally came
to be called erroneous and was so
treated here until yesterdays meet
ing in Minneapolis VIII seemed to
throw different thong, 4 the stu
alton.

SAFEB[OWERS ROB
INDEX OFFICE
Thieves Break Open Strong
Box Procuring $500
in All.

Everett, Aug. 1.-Safe blowers at
two O'Clock this morning broke into
and robbed the strong box of the
postoffice at Index, about forty miles
from Everett, in the foothills of the
Cacade mountains of 500 in money
and 5000 in stamps.
Residents were aroused by the ex-
plosion and several men ran toward
the postofice. When within a short
distance of the building they were
met by an armed robber who ordered
them to stop. introducing six-shoot-
er by way of persuasion, and when
the men turned and ran in the other
direction, the thief fired several shots
at them, but did not hit anyone.
Two men who have been hanging
about Index several days are suspect
ed. Chief Deputy Sheriff Smith left
Everett this morning to investigate.

WENATCHEE FIGURING MILL
LICKED UP BY FLAMES
Loss Is Estimated at Over 100000 = Centennial Mill
Company the Owners Have Engineer at Work Get
ting Ready Plans for New Structure Which Will
Be Built in Time to Handle the Wheat Crop of 1910

The large mill of the Wenatchee
Milling company burned to the
ground last night a little after mid
night, entailing property loss of be-
tween 100000 and s125,000. After
three months suspension in order
to allow of remodelling the mill and
the installation of modern machinery,
last night was the initial of the "a
hour shift. The cause of the fire is
unknown but it is thought to have
resulted from defective wiring.
Flames were first discovered at
12:45 by Officer Nelson and he i'm
mediately gave the alarm. When
first seen there were blazing up in
the northwest corner of the third
story. Night Miller George Brown
and crew were at work on the lower
floor. Some of the men had been in
the upper floor but a few minutes
prior to the discovery of the flames.
The fire spread very rapidly and by
the time the department arrived the
building was mass of seething
flames. There was no shortage of
water but the fire had too much head
way to stop it and the principal eff
forts were made to save the adjoining
buildings. The Great Northern fruit
shed to the southeast was in i'm
minent danger and several times was
in the verge of breaking out in
flames buk> by the strenuous efforts
the building was saved, though 1t
received a severe scorching and will
have to have a new roofing and sid
ing.
The fire was a spectacular one AMI
| lighted up the sky for miles around.
The wind was very severe during the
early portion of the evening but had
died down some, otherwise the Eagle
barn would have gone.
Today all the remains of the big
| illins property are the steel wheat
tanks. These are partially filled
wheat and it is thought that the
wheat is injured but little. The
books of the company are also
thought to be intact. They are in
side the safe which is located in the
brick vault and this also seems to
be fire-proof.
Three box cars on the switching
track between the tanks and the mill
also burned. Besides the building,
tons of -four, feed, etc. fully 10000
bushels of wheat were consumed. }.
]. O'Connor lost 20 tons of oats which
had been bought but had not been
removed.
George NJ. Russi, for the past four
years the manager of the mill states
hat he thinks that twO-thirds of the
loss would be coveiad by insurance
During the early morning he had
placed orders for ten carloads OF
-four, feed and cereals and does not
anticipate any trouble in filling local
orders.
The local mill was owned by the
Centennial Milling company of Spo-

EASTERN FRUIT
MAN HERE
Representative of Rae &
Hatfield Studying Local
Fruit Situation

George Rae, representing Rae &
Hatfield, of New York, arrived here
yesterday and will remain for some
time, with the idea of acquainting
himself with local conditions and in
cidentally he may contract for some
fruit of the valley. The firm in the
past has handled great deal of We
natchee valley fruit and Mr.. Rae
states that there is no better fruit
grown in the world than that of the
Wenatchee valley. Prior to coming
here Mr.. Rae stopped at Hood River
and secured $4,000 boxes of Spitzen-
bergs and Yellow Newtowns. He
deals direct with the dealers, not
through the intervention of associa-
lions or commission men. Mr.. Rae
naturally would not give out any
figures as to prices paid for his con-
tracts but states that he believes that
the ruling prices this year will be
satisfactory to both grower and
dealer.
Coming over from Seattle yester
day Mr.. Rae was touched up for
$40 by the negro porter on the Pull
man. He had gone to sleep on the
lounge and the porter took adven-
tage of the opportunity and had gone
through his coat, abstracting $40
from the $50 in his wallet. The mat
ter was reported to the conductor
and the negro was to have been ar
rested last night in Spokane on the
arrival 0f tho train

TRANSFER SEWER CONTRACT
To SPOKANE REALTY FIRM
Wetzel & Foster Sewer Contractors Assign Wenatchee
Contract to Arthur D. ones & Co., Who Will AS
sumo Financial Responsibility and Sublet Actual
Construction Work Satisfied With City Supervision

The contract for the big sewer
construction in Wenatchee has been
transferred by Wetsel & Foster to
A. D. Jones & Company, Spokane
real estate firm. The manager of
the latter concern, Gordon c. Corba-
lev. has been in this city for several
DAYS inspecting the present state and
nrogress of the work and conferrlng
with the contractors.
When asked yesterday for state
ment to the readers of the Daily
World, he said:
"Wetzel & Foster have transfer
red their Wenatchee contract to our
firm. A. D. Jones & Company. FL
1ancia! leasons made the action
necessary. A u. Jones & Company
is not a contracting concern and
is in no way prepared to enter into
the work of construction. Our rela-
ton 20 the city is merely as the fl
nancially responsible parties. we
the work, guarantee the payment OF
all bills and will sublet the construc-
ton work in contracts to other par
ties. For the present the public Will
not know the names of these contrac-
tors. Later we may announce the
transfer of the whole contract to
some concern which makes this work
its business"
1t has been reported for some
time that friction had arisen be-
tween Wetzel & Foster and the su-
pervisor representing the city, whose
duty it is to see that the work is
done according to specifications.
Mr.. Corbaley was asked if this re-
port has any foundation in fact or
anything to do with the transfer.
There has been some little con-
fusion arising from the fact that for
awhile the city was represented by
two inspectors, each of whom SEEM
ed to have equal authority but inter-
preted the contract differently. This
kept the contractors in delicate
position which was relieved when
the council concentrated authority
into the hands of one man. We are
perfectly satisfied with the supervis-
ion of the work now being given by
the city's representative
The members of the city council
were requested to meet informally
yesterday afternoon and to express
themselves as individuals about the
transfer of the contract. Mr.. Corba-
lev stated that the negotiations be-
tween his firm and Wetzel & Foster
were not subject to the approval or
disapproval of the council so far as
legality is concerned, but that he
desired to know that the city fathers
would look with favor on the action
being taken. Each alderman scene
to me entirely satisfied with the new
arrangement.

ELECTED Y.M.C. A.
SECRETARY
Trustees Call General Sec
rotary from Pontiac, Ill.
Arrives Sept. Is.

The principal object of the trus-
tees meeting of the Young Mems
Christian Association last night was
to consider the selection of a gen.
eral secretary. A committee has been
corresponding with various parties
for some time, but had decided on
one particular man provided he could
be secured at a salary within reach.
Acceptance from this man was re-
ceived recently and now the formal
election is announced of E. 0. Nc
Laughlin, who has been secretary
for several years at Pontiac, Ill.
Mr. McLaughlin's salary will be
$500 per year, although he was Of
fered a larger amount to take anoth-
er association in Illinois. He pre-
ferred to come west, however, and
is pleased to accept the call from
this city. He is allowed 500 to-
ward moving expenses. His resigna-
ton will be given the Pontiac asso-
citation at once, but he will arrive
here Sept. Is.
The new secretary brings with
him a wife and daughter, the latter
being fifteen years of age. Mrs. Nc
+, Laughlin is said to be valuable
helper to her husband in his chosen
work.
One member of the trustees, G. H.
Pfau, is a personal friend of the
secretary-elect and is acquainted
with his record in the east. He re-
ports that on the first day of assum-
ing his duties at Pontiac, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin raised the debt of $1,000
which had burdened the association
! for some time.
The strongest kind of commenda-
ton was received by the local COM
mittee in response to letters of in
Quiry sent out to numbers of asSo-
citation men in the east. There is
every indication that Wenatchee is
receiving the accession of a very
valuable man and lovable family to
the community.
Accepts Position.
President Gum was in receipt of
telegram at noon today from Mr..
Mclaughlin, stating that he would
accept the position of secretary. The
following was the telegram:
Pontiac, ILL.,, Aug. 2, 1910.

Perfects Incorporation.
Articles of incorporation were per-
fected last night and the treasurer
was instructed to draw sufficient
funds to complete the purchase of the
lots. The board of directors have
made sketches of the ground floor
of the building as desired and an
architect will be prepared to furnish
the plans along the ideas submitted
by the board of directors. 1t is
thought that it will be possible to
comemcne building by the time the
new secretary arrives.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y. May 20.-The
platform adopted by the arbitration
conference congratulates the people on
the progress Of arbitration; expresses
satisfaction with Tafts recent declara-
ton in favor of arbitration between ma
tions, and reaffirms opposition to the
growth of military and naval estab-
lishments.
William J. Bryan today presented his
ideas on peace methods to the confer
ence on arbitration. He favored trea-
ties forbidding war before disputed
questions are submitted to arbitration.
Some favor large navies," said
Bryan, "in the belief that they Will
compel peace. Others believe, and 1
share the belief, that peace can better
be promoted by discouraging the spirit
that inspires the building of big navies
Our nation is in better position than
any other to test the power Of example
in leading nations into the paths OF
peace. 1t does not need to compete
with the world in battleships. 1t will
become an increasing influence for
peace In proportion as 1t relies on
peaceful methods rather than on a
show of force. 1t ought to announce Its
Willingness to enter into treaties with
all nations, stipulating that there
should be no declaration of war or
commencement of hostilities until the
matter in dispute has been submitted
to an impartial tribunal for investisa-
ton and report.
