Card in Doctors Hand Put in Evi-
dence-Police Case Against Pair
Seems Stronger.

LONDON, August 29.-Both Hawley H.
Crippen. the American doctor, and Ethel
Clare Leneve. his typist. were accused of
the murder Of Belle Fillmore, the former s
wife. in the formal charge read to them
in the Bow street police court today
Miss Leneve was charged also with
harboring and maintaining Crippen after
the crime and with knowledge that he
committed It.
During the proceedings Inspector Dew.
who brought the prisoners back from
Canada, introduced evidence to show that
Crippen contemplated suicide while at sea
following his flight from this country.
Crippen was quoted also as declaring
that his companion knew nothing of the
trouble In which he was involved and
Miss Leneve was said to have protested
her innocence.
There was special interest in the char
acter OF the formal charge. as the Cana
dian warrant for the arrest Of the fugi-
tives had merely laid at their door re-
sponsibility for the death OF an unknown
woman whose body was found in the
cellar of the Crippen hcme at Hilldrop
Crescent. The fact that both were today
the actress wife of the doctor leads to
the supposition that the mutilated body
has been identified to the satisfaction OF
the authorities. 1t also suggests that the
police believe they have further evidence
concerning Miss Leneve's connection with
the tragedy than they have made known
heretofore.

Sensational Jump Today Over
Closing Prices Saturday.
EFFECT OF BULL CAMPAIGN
Shorts Unable to Buy at 19 Cents
q Pound.
PRICE FORCED TO 20 CENTS
Strain Relieved Only by oner OF
100000 Bales by Leader Of
Bull Forces.

NEW YORK. August 29.-Sensational
as the fluctuations In the cotton market
have been previously during the progress
OF the bull campaign which started last
winter. they faded into insignificance
when compared with the big jump in the
price OF August contracts this morning
Closing Saturday at 1852, after having
sold at 1907 Friday morning. the first
sale OF August this morning was at 1876.
and inside Of half an hour the shorts
were trying to buy at 10 cents a pound
or 21s points 61O.9o per bale) over sat
urday's close. and at the highest figure
reached since the civil war
Goes to 90 Cents a Pound.
There were frequently 25 and 80 points
between sales. and only five transactions
occurred on the advance from Is to 10
cents. while shortly afterward the price
was forced up TO 20 cents per pound
nearly $16 per bale above the closing
figure of Saturday and 245 points above
the highest price reached by any con-
tract during the famous bull season of
1VS-A. At this price w. p. Browh.
the floor leader OF the bull party. offered
to sell 100000 bales OF August cotton.
This relieved the strain under which the
market had been laboring all the morn
Ing. and at the same time seemed to set
limit TO the advance.
Causes Drop in Price.
Several OF the big local spot people sold
when they found that the bulls were
willing to give the shorts cotton at 20
cents per pound. and the price dropped
back to 1920 almost as rapidly as It had
advanced earlier In the day.
Only about 1000 bales OF cotton were
sold at 20 cents and probably less than
as many more changed hands on the drop
from 10 cents to 1Sh When the bulls
made the offer to sell such a large amount
at 20 cents. local traders apparently con-
sidered that this price would represent
the elimination Of the old crop bull cam
paign. and when August reacted there
was some selling of the new crop posi-
tions on the ground that the old crop
situation had sustained the new crop at
q higher level than could be maintained
when the old crop was out OF the way.
Market Very Nervous.
Trade interests were buyers on a moder-
ate setback. however, and the market dur
ing the late forenoon was very nervous
and irregular. with evidences Of a con-
tinued demand from August shorts at the
decline.

Our boys have again demonstrated
that they have no superiors in this
State in the base ball line. Last Fri
day and Saturday our team played
three games winning with the scores
11-5, 70 and 8-3. "Doco Barnes
pitched the first game and famed man
after man, keeping them completely
at his mercy. The score was 10 to 2
until the last half of the eighth when
Bienville had a batting rally and made
three points
But the most laughable as well as
exciting feature Of the whole game
was when "shorty" Huffman got into
tight fit between End and 3rd., He
was kept busy keeping out OF the way
of the ball. After jumping back and
forth many times he made line buck
for third base and by good fortune
arrived there safe.
