II Was Slain Girls Sister Who Made

JOHNS Fl0HTS FOR FREEDOM.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 14.-Another
arrest was made in the case of Alice
Crispell, nineteen years old, whose
body was found floating in Harvey's
lake last Monday and who last was
seen alive by friends on the night of
July 4, when she was drinking in the
0neonta hotel with Herbert Johns, her
ldmirer, and several other compan-
ions.
A. u. Culver, woodchopper, was TAX
en into custody on the chance that he
seen crouching behind q wood pile be
side the road near the hotel about the
hour when Johns said he parted with
the girl. Culver denied all knowledge
Of the circumstances connected with
the girls death, but the detectives de-
cided to detain him pending investiga-
cation of statement that being in
toXicated, he passed the night outdoors
in the vicinity of the boat landing near
which the girls body was found.
Detectives are working on a new
clew. A young man living near the
lake was said to have boasted to an
acquaintance that he and girl friend
were on the lake the night of July 4.
when the Crispell girl is supposed to
have met her death and that he knew
more of the case than he had said any
thing about. but that he intended keep
ing it to himself.
Sister Made Purchases.
Another development was a state
ment by Mrs Martha Holcomb, sis
ter of the dead girl, that it was she
and not her sister Alice who bought
goods in a dry goods shop on July 5.
The Crispell girl was last seen by her
friends on the night of July 4. When
the manager of the shop and several
of his clerks stated that they had seen
her in the store on July 5 it was
thought the case might assume an al
most entirely new aspect. The man,
ager, however, identified Mrs. Hol
comb as the woman who was in the
shop.
Though the girls body was exhumed
On Saturday and will be subjected to Q
second post mortem examination, feal
Is expressed by the authorities that
difficulty will be experienced at this
late date in determining the cause OF
death.
Counsel to Herbert Johns, the ad
mirer OF Alice Crispell. who Is in the
county Jail awaiting the action of the
grand jury, is preparing to make 6
vigorous fight for his release wher
the writ of habeas corpus obtained fol
him is argued next Wednesday.

nave plenty of time to consider the
currency bill. The senate will afford
that opportunity while the tariff dis
cussion is going on. And by the looks
of things it will be necessary to give
the members of the banking and cur
rency committee ample time to consid-
er the bill.
If the Democratic members really
agree on the terms of any kind Of
bill it will be little short of miracle.
Every man has different idea of what
kind of currency legislation should be
enacted Uncle Joe Cannon once said
that all that seemed necessary to make
men absolutely in disagreement with
each other was to make them mem
bers of the currency committee.
Trying to Save His Face.
Admiral Dewey once said that he
was devoting all his time now to liy-
ing just as long as he could. Conse-
Quently he hesitates about having a
plaster cast made Of his face. Quite
number of persons are interested In
lrying to 'save their faces" for future
generations. but the hero Of Manila
Bay has some doubt about the posi-
bility of an accident.

statement was then read from the
platform by the two leaders,:
"This is to certify that the general
grievance committee in secret con
ference canvassed the result of the
vote and find that moro than the neces-
sary two-thirds provided for by the
general constitution and rules voted
in favor of leaving the service unless
satisfactory settlement of the pend
ing questions could be otherwise pro.
cured.
I'VE have heard Il full and complete
explanation from our general chairman
and other members of the Eastern
association as well as from the eXecu,
tive officers of the o. r. c. and the B.
r. T. to the effect that the conference
committee authorized to act for the
roads upon which we are employed
have declined to make any concession
or to grant any portion of the increase
in rate asked for. or to change work
ing conditions as requested, and in ad-
dition have refused to submit the con
troversy to arbitration under the
federal law now in effect governing
such matters.

those we represent in favor of leav-
ing the service, and we do cast our
vote in favor of peaceful withdrawal
Of all members of the brotherhood or
order employed in train or yard serv-
ice at a given time to be designated
by the presidents of the order and
brotherhood, if their approval of such
action is given. and we hereby re-
quest them to give their approval. As
proof of such action we hereby attach
out individual signatures"
That the strike resolution would be
ratified was a foregone conclusion
The session of Saturday had been TAX
en- up with a discussion and oratory
and the leaders when they entered the
hall decided that all the time needed
had been given to talking.
Fear Roads Won't Yield.
Anxiously awaiting the decision OF
the men were representatives of most
of the big packing houses Of the coun
try. AS soon as it was announced
that the strike resolution had beer
ratified they hurried to inform thei
home offices of the act that the pack
ers might begin to protect themselve'
at once. One of the packing representa-
tives said that his firm was so sure
that the strike was coming that 1t haC
started every available refrigerator ca
east with an unusually large supply o
beef.
Although the vote calls for a strilz
only if a satisfactory settlement can
not otherwise be procured, it is fearet
that the railroads may decide that the
have already gone as far as possible
in granting the demands Of the mel
and will remain firm in their refusa
to submit the question for arbitration
by a board of three men.
, There was nothing conciliatory i
the attitude of the men at the meetin
yesterday. Some of them declare
openly that they believed they had tn
railroads "in a hole" and appeare
pleased at tho idea of a cripplin
strike. If the strike order goes out
probably will be sent by the committe
