The sea-faring follower OF Sherlock

than Marconi and Jones.
Jones called the wireless stations on
the English coast and was soon In
communication with Scotland Yard.
He described the couple SO accurate

land Yard was convinced. On Satur-
day. July % Inspector Dew rushed to
Liverpool and boarded the fast White
Star Liner Laurentic bound for Father
Point to intercept the suspected pair.
The Montrose's wireless set was q

was out of communication and the
world speculated as to the identinca'

Jones sat un-sleeping In his wireless
room and kept the world posted on the

incidents that led to the suspicion that
Crippen and Miss Leneve were on
board.
Together Capt. Kendall, the ma
riner-detective, and Inspector Dew, OF
Scotland Yard, talked" over the case.
Together they planned the details OF
the arrest. Capt. Kendall, unlike Scot
land Yard, did not blunder. The wire

Kendall did his part as we'll on the
last day as on the first When Dew
he simply had TO disguise himself as

quarry was waiting there for him. In
silent fear Crippen gave himself up.

IS NEGROES KILLED IN
RIOT BURIED IN TRENCH
Grand Jury convenes and Efforts viii
Be Made to Secure indictments
Against Ringleaders.

PALESTINE, Texas, Aug. with
the state rangers, one company OF the
Capital City cavalry from Austin, and
armed citizens doing police duty at
Slocum and Dlkhart, the little villages
are quiet today after two days of the
bloodiest ricting between whites and
Negroes In the history Of Texas.
The bodies OF eighteen Negroes
were buried. in a long trench just out
side of Slocum yesterday and house
toulouse investigation Is being con-
Quoted in hopes that the state officials
may learn the exact number OF Ne
groes killed during the lighting.
The estimates run from eighteen to
forty and although but Is bodies were
found yesterday, one OF the deputy
sheriffs insists there are FIVE bodies
unaccounted for. which would bring
the known dead up to %.
II has been definitely ascertained
that no white men were killed. The
four men missed from Slocum, 1t de-
veloped, were at Elkhart when they
were reported slain.
The full extent OF the casualties
among the Negroes may never be
known, according to the militiamen
doing police duty.
Today but few Negroes could be
found who were seriously wounded.
Il Is believed certain that at least a
score were fatally shot. This leads
to the conclusion that the relatives
and friends of the Negroes have SO.
cluded the injured, In fear OF arrest,
or have taken them to secluded spots
where they died.
The Anderson county grand Jury
will convene today and efforts will be
made to secure indictments against
the riot ringleaders. Four white men
have been arrested so far and scores
of others will probably be taken in
custody after the jury gets down 70
work.

Vets and lrys Push
Fight in 50 Counties

The last week of the great battle
between the "wets" and "drys" for
control OF SO counties in Michigan,
opened Monday, with both sides con-
tident after one of the greatest cam
paigns for and against the saloon ever
waged in the state. The forces head
ed by George w. Morrow, Michigan
superintendent of the "drys." have ar
rayed themselves against the VETS"
with bitter antithesis. The fight on
behalf of the saloon Is being made
under the direction OF Harry Rickel,
president of the Manufacturers and
Dealers association, and representa-
tives of the United States Brewers
association and the Liberal league.
The saloon advocates have fought
every argument OF their opponents,
mastering all the resources that are
known to well-known debaters and
speakers.
The hottest fights have been waged
in counties In which there are large
cities OF these Grand Rapids, the
second largest city in the country
Worcester Mass, Is frsD ever to
vote on the liquor question, Is the
scene OF a bitter fight. Other cities
involved are Sault ste. Marie, Adrian,
Lansing. Port Huron and Ludington.
In these cities the "wets" claim the
businessmen are strongly In their
favor, while the "drys" deny II.
Campaign Has Been Hot.
The campaign has been replete with
charges and counter-charges, the most
sensational Of which were the pub
fishing OF an alleged letter from Sup
erintendent Morrow to Detective
Brewer OF GrandRapids, asking him
to colonize the voters in Jackson at
the previous local option election.
Morrow was investigated and exoner-
iated by the Leagues national officers.
The saloon interests declare, how
ever, the charges have had their eff
feet
