SHOOTS WOMAN
THEN KILLS
HIMSELF

CHICAGO, July 15.-1he exam
ination of Miss Mary Wilson, a
beautiful oSuthern girl, who saw
the shooting of Mrs. Deufex, a
widow, by G. w. Rigdon, broker,
who afterward committed suicide,
revealed nothing to the authors
ties. The young woman was the
first witness at the inquest over
|Rigdon's death. She was defiant
and refused to give the police any
information.
So unsatisfactory were Miss
wilson's statements that the cor
|oner finally postponed the inquest,
which he began today. until July
rs.
Miss Wilson finally denied she
knew what prompted Rigdon to
shoot Mrs. Deufex. She said she
met Mrs. Deufex on the street and
accompanied her to the office of
John G. Feber. where Rigdon was
waiting. She said she was not
listening to what Rikdon and her
companion were saying when sud
denly shot rang out and Mrs.
Denfex cried: I'm shot.
Nothing further could be learn
ed from the young woman. NJ

POLICE ARE
BLAMEDFOR
CR|PPEN'S
ESCAPE
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, July 16.-Baffled at
every turn by the ingenuity of the
murderer of the woman supposed
to be Mrs. Hawley Crippen, form
erly noted singer of noble Polish
birth, the police are being scored
today by press and public as
|clamsy bunglers who have let a
criminal slip through their hands.
Scotland Yard has nothing but
la web of suspicious to enmesh DR..
Hawley Crippen, the American
dentist, charged with the murder.
Every tangible clew has ended in
a blind alley and the detectives
are desperate.
The latest official announcement
from Scotland Yard is that Grip
Ipen fed from London with $3.50
in money and $4,000 worth of
Jewels belonging to Mrs. Crippen.
They believe that his funds soon
will be exhausted; that he will be
forced to sell the jewels and that
they will then be able to pick up
the trail.
Woman Not With Him.
The police believe that Mile
Leneve is no longer with Crippen,
IL she ever was in his company.
They assert she is hiding in
France.
The authorities have discovered
a dressmaker who declares that
shortly after February Q, the day
on which 1t is believed Mrs. Grip
pen was killed, Mile. Levene came
to her with a hamper of clothing
to have the dresses altered. The
clothing has been identified as
that. of Mrs. Crippen. According
to the seamstress, the young wom-
an said she intended marrying DR..
Crippen and that the gowns had
been left to her by an aunt. Mile.
Leneve called and took away the
dresses on the day before she and
DR.. Crippen are alleged to have
fed.
Popular clamor against the
methods of Scotland Yard is
growing hourly. The press is al
most unanimous in criticising the
work of the foremost English de-
tectives detailed on the case. The
defense of the police that they had
no warrant to arrest Crippen or
the woman is seemingly unavail-
ing in turning the storm of dis
approval.

To Break Up the Standard Oil Monopoly
NEW COMPANY
TO WIPE OUT
OIL TRUST

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, July 18.-Finan-
ciers of Europe, as well as of
America, are today awaiting the
first move In an expected contest
between the Standard OIL COM
pany and "a powerful syndicate of
American and English capitalists,
backed by 100000.
1t is said the syndicate will be
represented in America by Samuel
Untermeyer. The English mem
bers, it is said. already have put
up $5,o00,000 in cash with which
to begin operations.
Plans of the syndicate are yet
only tentative, but 1t is announced
that the $5,000,000 Is now on
hand waiting to be used to secure
options on every oil producing
tract in Oklahoma. The Standard
will be attacked in other teri-r
tories, 1t is said, and no expense
spared to break its grip on the oil
trade of the world.

TRA|NMEN To
STRIKE IN
48 HOURS

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-
With officials of the trainmen de-
claring they will not be surprised
il a strike on the Pennsylvania
system Is called within As hours,
and with officials on the road de-
termined not to yield, the only
hope of peace today is in confer
ence between General Manager
Peck and the men.
The trainmen are displeased
over the attitude of the railroad
officials. They believe that the
conferences were for the purpose
of giving the officials time to ire
pare for the strike than for con-
sidering the demands of the men.
Tired of Waiting.
''The men are tired of waiting"
declared George M. Smith, chair
man of the trainmen's grievance
committee. "I would not be sur
prised IL the strike were called
within 48 hours"
other members of the commit
tee said they feared the strike
would be called before night.

ductors last night sent secret in
structions to Cleveland, where
they are ready to be forwarded to
the employees of the western lines
No intimation of what the in
structions contained has been Civ

THE RETURN OF ROOSEVELT.

THE return of Colonel Roosevelt TO this
i country promises to be marked by con-
tinuous ovation all along the route. Thousands
have gathered in Africa TO greet him and his
party The authorities will have to take un-
usual precaution to keep the Colonel from be.
ing mobbed by his friends and the curiosity
seekers. The day OF the hero worshiper has not
passed.
When he visits Europe Mr. Roosevelt will
be greeted by throngs We are TO have Roose-
velt for days and months to come. The Ameri-
can papeSs have their correspondents camping
on the trail of the former President. The Euro
pean correspondents are also there. Crowned
heads and notables will vie with one another
TO do honor 10 the great American.
When the Colonel finally lands here what a
commoton there will be. Suppose he should re-
turn by way of San Francisco and make a trip
across the continent through the territorv of
insurgency, what would happen7 1t needs no
stretch of the imagination to picture the uproar.
Fond as he is of stirring things up, Mr.. Roose-
welt is not likely TO make the journey
Mr.. Roosevelt is wise. He is not sNnreSsing
his views on the many questions that have been
agitating this country. A word from him in the
present state of the public mind would have
much effect. The Colonel can be a good listen
er as we'll as a great tallSer. He is listening at
present. He will talk later and he may be able
to smooth out the wrinkles in the body polite.
Certain it is that the Roosevelt fever is not
abating. 1t is just beginning.
No wonder the opponents Of the ex-President,
those who thought that when he left the White
House that would practically be the last to be
heard of Roosevelt throwing up their hands
IN despair. When he returns the President will
be the most interesting figure in national
life. And Just what he will do is the uppermost
topic of political speculation
