Alarm in St. Louis.

st. Louis, Oct. 22.-Relief expedi-
tions to search for the pilots and aids
of the three missing balloons Azurea
Dusseldorf II. and America H., which
started in the international race here
Monday and which apparently have
been lost, will be started from Toronto
Sunday IL no news is received from
them before that time. This announce
ment was made by officials Of the Aero
club of st. Louis.
The crews of the balloons are Lieu
tenant Emil Messner and Leon Gwan-
dar In the AZurea, Lieutenant Hans
Gericke and Samuel e. Perkins in the
Dusseldorf II. and Allan r. Hawley
and Augustus Post in the America II.
News was received here that Lieu
tenant Governor Gibson already had
communicated with Sir James Whit
ney, the premier, who agreed to notify
the chief constables and forest rangers
to keep a sharp lookout. The lieuten-
ant governor, however, expressed the
opinion that all the Ontario govern
ment could do to locate the aeronauts
necessarily must be slight owing to
the wilderness of the northern part of
the country.

DIR. CRIPPEN IS
FOUND GUILTY
Jury In the Famous English Murder Case Was Out Only
29 Mlnutes--strong Appeal by Kings Counsel for
Conviction Charge Favors Prosecution
specia! by United Press Wire.

SpeciG! by United Press Wire.
London, Oct. 22:-Dr. Hawley
Harvep Crippen was found guilty to-
day OF the murder or his wife, Belle
Elmore Crippen. The jury was ont
twenty-nine minutes, having retired
at 2:17 o'clock.
Crfppen's conviction followed one
of the strongest appeals for the con-
yiction of a prisoner ever heard in
Old Bailey court by Kings Counsel
Muir. Muir contended that the cir
cumstantial chain against Crippen
was complete In every link and de-
clared that Crippen's own story on
the stand yesterday only strength
ened the prosecution.
The instructions of Lord Aber-
stone were generally considered ia
Yorable to the prosecution.
Crippen received his verdict with
fair show of composure. Lord AL
verstone, donning the black cape,
passed sentence of death, fixing the
date of hanging for either Novem-
Der IA Or 10. He said:
You have been found guilty of
the murder of Belle Elmore Crippen
by jury of your countrymen, and
the sentence of the court, is that you
be taken from this place and hung
by the neck until you are dead, and
may the Lord have mercy on your
SOUL"
After the sentence was imposed,
Crippen was asked whether he had
anything to say, and in firm voice
replied: 81 still protest my inno-
cence." Turning to the condemned
man, Lord Alverstone said impress
sively: I advise you to entertain
no hopes of escaping the gallows. l
implore you to make your peace with
God"
Miss lie Neve, Crippen's typist.
who fed with him and who is under
Indictment as. an accessory, will be
tried Tuesday. She would have
been freed if Crippen had been ac-
quilted.
Crippen can appeal to the criminal
court of appeals or the Home Secre-
tary can order this court to consider
the case. This court can either af-
firm the sentence, object to the YER
dict or order new trial. If the
sentence is upheld, of which there is
no doubt, the only chance for Crippen
is the exercise of royal clemeney
which is only put into force on the
of the home secre-
tary.

NEED A FENCE
AT APPROACH
Street Commissioner Adair
viii Ask Council to Rem
edy Danger al Bridge.
EMBANkMENT is FEARED

To protect vehicles using the coun-
ty bridge, Street Commissioner Geo,
Adair will request the Board of AL
derman at the next meeting to have
a fence constructed at the northern
approach to the bridge. He says the
unprotected embs R1ment built by
the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany, Is dangerous to traffic, mas
much as it has a sheer fall of twen-
ty-fve feet or more. The street
missioner believes the traction
company should be put to the ex-
pense of erecting the fence, and will
petition the council to write to the
company ordering the fence erected.
Before putting it up, it will be nee
essary to extend the bank at least
ten feet.
Until Thursday mornings storm
the embankment extended eastward
from the track about eight feet. Tor
rents rushing along Sheridan street,
however, swept away several feet,
undermining the tracks. A bolting
horse Or an automobile driver, un-
acquainted with the danger, would
rush over the unprotected bank to
certain death below. The street
commissioner yesterday inspected
the site and summed it up as being
dangerous. He believes the fence
should extend from the edge of the
bridge about 100 feet northward.
His request to the council will be
embodied in a written communica-
ton.

DEMOCRATS
FAVOR BILL
MiddIesex Assembly Candi-
dates Are Questioned by
the Commuters League.
REPUBLICANS ARE SILENT

The New Jersey State Commuters
Association, many of whose officers
and members are republicans, has
endorsed the Middlesex county dem
ocratic assembly candidates and
through its secretary urges commut-
ers throughout the county to vote
for these candidates.
The plea of the commuters for
help in their fight against unjust
railroad rates has again fallen upon
deaf ears as far as the Middlesex
county republican assembly candi-
dates are concerned. None of the
three men has seen fit to acknowl-
edge the query sent them two weeks
ago asking them where they stand.
The democratic candidates have
placed themselves on record as ia
vorlng the public utilities bill pro-
posed by the association.
The democratic candidates for the
assembly are: August C. Streitwolf,
DR.. Ramsay and John V. l.. Boor-
aem.
Roy Robinson, of Englewood,
secretary Of the association, has
made public list of the candidates
from whom he has received replies
to the recent query sent all candi-
dates for the assembly in New Jer-
sey. Fifty-tive names are on the list
of those who will support the meas
ure drawn up by the commuters. OF
this number fOrty-three are demo-
Gratis and twelve are republicans.
In announcing the list Mr.. Robin
son said;
ut will be greatly to the advaht-
age of all commuters to work and
vote for the election of the above
(Referring to the list)
There Is no doubt that these candi-
dates, If elected to the legislature,
will form very substantial working
in favor of a good bill Civ
ing rate making powers to an eff
Client public service commission.
THE associations bill is practi-
cally the Martin-Sulivan bill, which
has ben presented at three sessions
of the legislature and thus has had
at different times the Endorsement of
both political parties. The Commu-
ters' Association has amended this
bill to make it cover more specific
ally the question of commutation
rates as well as other railroad rates

Dlause followed and for fully five
minutes Mr.. Bollschweiler was un-

missing, is the report received here
today In connection with. the report
of the sinking, last, night, of the
British steamship "Walley." The

were taken off in small boats.
Only the meager and unconflrmed
reports have been received here, but
these indicate that the vessel was
lost through some trouble with eth

result of which she drifted on 6
rocky projectile and filed rapidly.
1t is believed that those lost were
drowned in the capsIzing of small
boats in the heavy sea which wa!
