more like friend than a servant, and
after being the recipient Of legacy OF
10000 from Mrs. Louise Ladew, 1dell
Worth, who had been Mrs. Ladew's
maid, repaid all this kindness by rob-
bling the family of her benefactrcss of
of $4,000 worth Of property. The
discovery was only made on the eve of
the woman's sailing with her plumber
for France.
When Mrs. Ladew died last year in
the Hotel Plaza it was found that she
had left her maid the $4,000 legacy.
Miss Elsie Ladew, however, looking
upon her as almost one of the family,
would not discharge her. At the be-
ginning of July Harvey Ladew
and his sister went on a
trip through Connecticut. During
his absence the Worth woman shipped
ten trunks to the French Line pier.
The Waterman on the place had his sus-
picions aroused. The trunks were fill
ed with wearing apparel, iewelry, silver
ware, fine lace and table linen which
belonged to the Ladews. They were
the proceeds Of years OF pilfering.

Hasty Call of Meeting of Cabinet
Iglesias Wants to be Arrested

Madrid, July 16.-All the members
Of the Spanish cabinet have been
hastily summoned to attend an i'm
portant conference in the palace with
King Alfonso tomorrow TO discuss
the admitted danger Of a revolutionary
uprising OF serious character III
Barcelona, the hotbcd OF revolution
and the scene of last years pitched
battles, and which is considered the
danger zone of the revolt, although a
general strike has been ordered III

Labor agitators and revolutionary
leaders are busiest in Bilboa and other
Spanish cities are seethlns with DIS
content. a declaration OF martial law
is expected at the first signs OF dlsor-
Ter. 1t is conceded on all hands that
the situation is even more critical than
during the revolution which took
place when the Spanish reserves were
summoned to the colors for duty
against the Moors around Melllia ID
Africa.
Madrid, July 16.-Pablo Iglesias.

is interfering with the republican
plans for forcing an investigation OF

bloody disorders at Barcelona and
elsewhere in Spain. On the other hand,
it is doubtful whether the governments
prestige could suffer more seriously
han il is from its failure to imprison
Iglesias.
After accusing Maura and failing to
get arrested, Iglesias threatened the
former premier. Even an attach on
Maura's person." he declared on the
floor of the chamber, after q severe
arraignment OF the former premier,

ment of murder" :,

The president OF the chamber, and
Premier Canaleias and ex-Premler
Maura held a hurried conference, at
the end of which the president weakly
announced that Senior lglesias's words
had been cxpunged from the record
and that he might proceed with his
speech.
Iglesias and his followers now an
nounce, both inside and outside the

APPEAL TO
MISS LENEVE
The Whereabouts of Doctor Crippen Still
Unknown to the London Police.

London, July l6.-An unique expe-
dent in the hope Of capturing DR.. II. II.
Crippen, wanted for the murder of his
wife, was adopted by Scotland Yard
today.
The newspapers have issued an ap-
peal, in the name OF Scotland Yard, to
Miss Leneve, Crippen's typist, with
whom he is believed to have eloped,
urging her to come out of hiding and
to reveal Crippen's whereabouts. They
hope this communication will be seen
by the young woman and that she will
betray this physician In this appeal
it is pointed that Miss Leneve has
everything to gain and nothing to lose
by adopting such course and being
perfectly frank with the police officials.
The press is haunting the police over
their bungling OF the case and point to
this unusual appeal to Miss Lencve to
show the hopelessness Of the police.
The police have retaliated by issuing
statement that they had no legal
justification for arresting DR.. Crippen
before the discovery of the body proved
that a crime had been committed.
They added that even to have shadow
ed the docto, when he was under sus-
picion and thus have prevented him
from escaping from London. would
have been to exceed their authority and
to have laid them open TO damages.
When DR.. Crippen disappeared he
had only $3.50 in money, but carried
ieweIry, belonging to his wife, valued
at S25 ,O00 The detectives have an
accurate list of this jewelry, which they
have cabled to all parts Of the world.
They believe Crippen's funds will
shortly be exhausted and he will be
forced to dispose Of some of the jewels.
That Miss Leneve must have been
acquainted with the crime is attested
today by y dressnlaker, who declares
that shortly after February 2, the day
Of the murder, Miss Leneve appeared
with a hamper of clothing, since
identified as having belonged to Mrs.
Crippen. She told the dressmaker she
intended marrying DR.. Crippen; that
the gowns had been left her by one OF
DR.. Crippen's aunts and she wished TO
have them altered. Miss Leneve called
for the dresses Friday, the day before
she and DR.. Crippcn disappeared.

Drug-crazed Negro Kills Three Persons
in Church and Shoots His Wife and
Sister-in-Law = Murderer Finally
Com mits Suicide.

Commits Suicide.
Tampa, Fla, July 16.-While crazed
with drugs Will Ellison, a negro, went
on rampage late last night, killed
three persons, badly wounded three
others and then killed himself. His
outbreak started in church where a
protracted meeting service was just
ending. Entering with shot gun over
his arm, Ellison announced that he
was going to send all sinners to their
eternal homes.
His first shot killed Rev. Jesse w.
Avery, who was conducting the services.
Then Ellison shot and killed Celia
Bryant, his mother-in-law, and Henry
Clark, the church organist. He ran
from the church to his home nearby
and shot and wounded his wife and his
sister:in-Iaw, Mary Bryant. He then
started down an alley to a point where
he had left horse on which he had
planned to make his escape.
Policeman Hayman, on duty nearby,
heard the firing and started in pursuit
of Allison. The negro opened fire on
him, wounding him in the left breast.
Hayman returned the fire and Ellison
took refuge in a yard nearby. The
police reserves soon afterward arrived
and found Ellison lying on the ground
unconscious. He was hurried to the
station house to prevent lynching, az
4 mob was forming, but he died on the
way. 1t was found that he had drunk
the contents of Il whisky bottle III
which he had placed strychnine.
During the shooting in the church a
stampede for the exits took place and a
number OF women and children were
knocked down and trampleQ.
