French Police
 After Crippen
POSITIVE THEY SAW THE FUGl.
 TIVE LAST SUNDAY.
TRAIL OF THE SUSPECT
Leads to Andorra in Foothills of tho Pyrenees Mountains. from Which Extrsdition Would Be Refused.

Paris. July 21.-The police at Yer nets Les Rains. the little French water ing place at the foot of the Pyranees mountains, are positive in their belief that Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, widely sought by the London police, was in their little city last Sunday, and a viz orous search is being made for the fu- gitive.
 The French detective department in Paris is inclined to accept the pro ceurer's view as to the identity of crippen, but is in doubt whether he crossed the Spanish frontier at Yer nets Les Rains. all the positive in- formation in the possession of tihe po- lice indicates that he left the train before it reached Mont Louis. to which point he is said 10 have taken pas sage en route to Spain.
 CriPPen Headed for Country Where
 Extradition is Unknown
 The suspect. according to the belief of the authorities here, instead of mak- ing for Spain, is headed for Andorra the little and almost forgotten republic of 5000 shepherd inhabitants, nesting in the foothills of the Pyranees. Once would be difficult, if not impossible Andorra. which is under the nominal suzerainty of the president of the French republic and the bishop Of Urgel, has sometimes served as a refuge for persons who have commit ted crime.
 Suicide Not Believed to 5s Mlas
 LeneVe.
 Nj. Sebille, head of the research de- partment of the police, who is directing the search in France for Dr. Crippen and his typist, Ethel Clara Leneve, who is supposed to have left London in his company. opposes the theory that tho woman who killed herself at Bourges July 3 was Miss Leneve. He points out that the letter left by the suicide was written in French, a language Miss Leneve is said to be totally un- acquainted with. Furthermore the suicides features were those Of a per son of a Slavonic type, and M. Sebiile believes that she was a nihilist
 Photographs of the Bourges suicide have not, however, as yet been com pared with those of Miss Leneve. Should the suicide prove to be Miss Leneve. it would give consistency to the story told by a guard on the boat train running between Dieppe and Paris that he had seen a couple an swering the description of pr. Crippen and his typist on July 12. According to this guard, the couple came through Paris on his train. Here they are sup posed o have separated, crippen hur- rying south and the girl going to Bourges, where she subsequently, took her life.
 Another theory of the police is that the couple went by steamer to Mar seiles and separated at that port.

GUN CREW TRYING TO
 MAKE RAPID FIRE RECORD.
New Charge of Powder Hurried Into
 Breech Before Cooling.

Washington July 21.-In the absence of any report from an official investi- gating board officers of the coast ar tillery can only compare the explosion to some similar ones which have oc- cured in the navy. The majority. however, appear to believe that the explosion was caused by carbon monoxfde, a highly inf1ammabfe gas which forms in the barrels of large guns. and which is especially danger cur during rapid firi1g.
 The gun crew at Fortress Monroe was trying to make a rapid fire rec ord. The theory is that the new chargesof powder was hurried into the breech before the gases generated by the previous shot had time to dissi- pate and before the breech could be closed the powder exploded, blowing off the block and carrying death with it.
 There have been five gun accidents in the navy which may be compared to it.
