With Leneve Girl He Is Taken
on Montrose.
Inspector Dew Boarded the Steam
ship Two Miles Off Father Point
and Took the Two Fugitives Into
Custody Woman Becomes Hysteri
cal When She Recognizes the Eng
lish Police Official Doctor Charged
With "Murdir and Mutilation."
Or. llawlcy Harvey Crlppen and
Ms consort were arrested at 9
o'clock Sunday morning on the steam
slip Montrose, two inlle9 off Father
I'olnL The arrest was dramatic In a
sense. Scotland Yard Inspector Dew
iuiarded the Montrose disguised as a
pilot aud as Crlppen was pacing the
deck with Surgeon Stewart of the
Montrose he saw the pilot boat ap
proaching pulled by four seamen. He
remarked thut there seemed to be a
Hi lod many pilots in the boat but aside
from this made no comment. He con
tinued his promenade but five miuules
after he felt a tap en his shoulder and
turned to face Inspector Dew in uni
form. "I want to tee you for a moment,"
said Dew'.
Or. Crlppen took tho situation quiet
ly. He turned and walked without
protest to a cabin pointed out to him.
In the cabin was Provincial Detectives
McCarthy and Denis.
"This is - your man," said Dew to
McCarthy, and the latter read the war
rant for Crippe n'B arrest, at the same
time giving him the usual statutory
caution. Dr. Crlppen, guarded by the
police, then went to his own cabin
where the Lenevo woman sat dressed
as a boy. She screamed when she saw
Dew and then became reticent. Sub
sequently both prisoners were closeted
with Dew.
Aboard the steamer Montrose five
or six miles down the river, a nervous
careworn passenger paced the deck
nlone. "Half" rang the bells from
the bridge.
"What are we doing now," Inquired
the passenger of Dr. Stewart, the
ship's aurgeoi..
'This i: Father Point, Mr. Robin
Eon, and we arc slowing up to take
the pilot aboard," replied the medical
man. "You car. nee the boat coining
out to meet us there."
The men in the small boat were
now alongside and retted on their
oars. A rope was thrown to the craft
and It was warped alongside the larg
er vessel.
A second later on Inspector Dew of
Scotland Yard, dressed in the pilot's
uniform, Chief McCarthy and ex-Chief
Denis likewise attired, with Francois
Gauvreau, the actual pilot, stood on
the deck of the Montrose. Dew'?
hand was extended to the captain but
hl eye passed on. "That's my man,"
he said quietly but the Jubilant thank
ful ring in his voice could not be ex
tinguished. It was not hard to sec
that he was having a difficult time
playing his role of pilot and that he
itched to assert himself as an officer
of the law. Captain Kendall, Mc
Carthy and Dew chatted at (he com
panlonway. Denis and Gaudreau
turned foreward to the wheelhouse.
Pr. Stewart and Robinson were walk
ing up the deck. Robinson walked so
close to Dew that the latter could
have touched him. Still not a move
was made. Dow was sizing up his
quarry carefully, pitlessly. Robinson
coughed 3lightl.v and turned towards
the captain as though to ask a ques
tion. He was perfectly unconscious
of the true state of affairs,
Captain," be said almost Jovially,
tilting big grey fedora hat to the back
of his bead. Rut that was all. His
face became a blank, his knees shook
together and his arms went up as
though to protect himself.
"J want to see you below a mo
ment," said Dew with bis character
istic lisp, Then turning to Chief Mc
Carthy, he said, "That's the man."
"I arrest you in the name of the
king," said McCarthy."
''You are my prisoner. Anything
you say will be taken down in writing
and may be used against you at your
trial,"
A few seconds later a woman's
shriek told those above that the Le
neve woman had been discovered and
arrested. She had recognized Dew In
the semi-darkness of the passage ns
she was emerging from her cabin to
Join Crlppen.
TAILED TO REACH SUMMIT
N!t. McKln'ey Expedition Unable to

The Mt. McKinlej expedition to Se

the summit of the mountain.
Tho expedition was sent cut jointly

they were fully 10 miles below the
true summit.
They could not cover the Intermedi

crevasses in the glaciers. They could
not see the flag that the Thomas

on the summit last April.
The failure of this party goes far

Kjndurian Soldiers Desert to
Bonilla's Forces.
At the Head of 3,000 Men the Ex
President Is Marching on Teguci
galpa One Hundred Americans
With Insurgent Leader, the Majority
cf Whom Are Trained Gunners,
Will Handle the Machine Guns In
Attack on the Capital.
New Orleans, Aug. 2. Manuel
I'.onilla, one time president of Hon
duras, is more than half way to
Tegucigalpa, at the bead of 3,000 men.
It Is believed here, according to in
formation received today, that Bonil
la will strike at Tegucigalpa before
the end of the week. Included in his
force of 3,000 men, most of them
trained soldiers, are 100 Americans,
who Joined Konilla from Cluefields
and New Orleans.
The majority of the Americans are
trained gunners who will handle Ronil
la's machine guns iu the attack on the
capita, which be hopes to make,
thereby restoring to himself the lead
ership of the Honduran republic.
Bonllla employed to a success con
clusion a clever ruse for the arming
and equipping of most, ol his 3,000 sol
diers. Two weeks ago incipient riot
ings broke out. in various coaHt and
near coast towns of the republic.
Immediately the military was sum
moned and supplied with guns and
ammunition from the national armor
ies. Then tho solders, well equipped,
promptly quit the service and flocked
to the banners of Bonllla.
The uprisings were carefully
planned and launched at the direction
of Ronilla for the sole purpose of
arming his proposed followers. This
was necessary, owing to the faci that
government arms and ammunition are
not left in the care of soldiers, but are
carefully kept In government reposi
tories. ONIONS WILL BE SCARCE
