The nature of the report of the physi-

English Detectives Sent to Various
Places.
Apparently the police have made lit
tie progress in the case, and if they
have discovered any new facts they are
keeping these TO themselves. Mean
while English detectives have been
sent to various places in the. hope that
they may find DR. Crippen, who so far
has managed to cover up his move

During the latter part of the week
there has been a remarkable series of
murders in London, Slough Newcastle
and Cromer, and in every case the
murderer has escaped.
A New Light on the Subject.
According to the published statement
of her married sister Ethel Leneve who
is believed TO hav been DIR. Crippen's
companion when he disappeared from
his home, during a hurried visit to her
on July professed the greatest anx-
fety over the possibility that she was
not Crippen's legal wife.
After the announcement of the death
of Belle Elmore, DR.. Crippen introduc-
ed the Leneve woman as his wife al
though there has been no proof forth
coming so far that a marriage took
place The staetment by the sister
which throws a new LIGHT on the sub
ject, says that Crippen informed Ethel
Leneve that he had just discovered
that Belle Elmore was still living, and
that he proposed to go to America to
clear up the matter.

Appear Hopeful That Today's Confer

Philadelphia, July l7.-Hope that the
conference tomorrow between the
members Of their committees and Cen
eral Manager Myers of the Pennsylva-
MIA Raiiraod company Will result in a.
clearer understanding of their demands
by the railroad company and the ne
cessity for a strike will be avoided

son. president OF the order OF Railway
Conductors. and w. Glee, the head OF
the Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen.
Ton Hour Standard May Go into Effect
While the head OF the conductors or
ganization was reticent and refused to
add anything to the statements he has
already made public regarding the con-
troversy, Mr.. Lee expressed his belief
that the ten hour standard the men
ask for could be put into effect by the
company without its making any sac
rffice. Many OF the delegates from the
various local unions left the city last
night and conferred with the member
ship of their organizations today, but
all will be at the conference tomorrow
morning in the office of the general
manager.
Both Sides Firm.
While there is a feeling that peace
may be arranged at this conference
both sides declare that they will not
recede from the positions they have al
ready. taken. The labor leaders will
continue to hold out for the ten hour
day and the railroad officials, while
willing to grant this are unwilling to
increase the expenses of their road.
The question OF overtime may be tho
subject Of compromise 1t is said.
Another Conference Today.
Since the latest conference between
the leaders OF the men on the lines

Radical Changes May Be Made-Spirit

Washington, July 17.-That the ma

ment by a court Of inquiry that a
spirit of characterization reigns
throughout the service, seems to be the
prevailing opinion of naval officers on
duty at the department. The serious
condition of the service was held to be
due primarily to too long terms of ser
vice by officers without changes of as

tion probably will be considered this
week. Radical changes may be made.
The reformation of the entire system
of assignment would not surprise those
who have been following the course of

would be to give the staff assignments
