SPANISH ENVOYTOVATICAN LEAVES

Papal Nuncio Remains in Madrid.Pope's Officials Issue a

Statement

ROME, Aug. One hour after pre-senting the note of Premier Canelajasto the Vatican officially announcingthat Marquis tie Ojeda had been calledto Madrid for a communication "fortin' government," the Spanish ambas-sador to the Vatican left Rome. Thiswas early this morning. As yet noretaliatory measures have been takenby the church, and Monslgnor Vico stillremains in {Madrid as papal nuncio.

The statement Issued by PremierCanelajas yesterday bearing on thecontroversy between the church andthe state has been carefully perusedby the Vatican officials. They assertthat that part of the statement Inwhich It Is declared that the holy seeintended to concede to the Spanish gov-ernment less than what was agreed toin 1904 Is without foundation in fact.It is Canelajas, they declare, who nowwants greater concessions than thoseof 1904, on the plea that they weregranted to the then Premier Mauraand that Cnnelajas believed them tobe at that time insufficient.

PRESS AIDING PREMIERIN HOUR OF TURMOIL

Merry del Val's Telegrams RouseOpponents

MADRID, Aug. With CatholicsIn Rome expressing hope that DonJaime, the . Carlist pretender, mayraise the standard of revolt, and theCatholics of the Blscayan provincesrising In insurrection, and with theSocialists In Spain threatening disor-der, the Imparclal, which has hithertobeen unfriendly to Premier Canelajas,ranges itself on the side of the govern-ment in the pending conflict with theVatican. \

The liberal press In general con-tinues staunchly to support the cabi-net, which has been left a free handto carry through its policy by the de-parture of King Alfonso and tha queenfor England.

Especial Indignation is expressed atthe telegram of Cardinal Merry delVal, the papal secretary of state, In-dorsing the attitude of the BlscayanCatholics, who threatened to precipi-tate civil war and in telegrams to theVatican placed their lives and propertyat its disposal for the conflict.

SAYS BREAK HELPSPROGRESS IN SPAIN

NEW YORK, Aug I.—Apropos of thepresent conflict between the Vaticanand the Spanish government, NormanHapgood of Collier's Weekly, who hasjust returned from a trip throughSpain and other parts of Europe, saidof Industrial conditions in Spain:

"They are improving, but the widerthe split between the government andthe Vatican becomes the more rapidly

j they will improve. New. methods bothof business and agriculture have beenintroduced, particularly In southernSpain, and the country would forgeahead If it could shake off clerical in-fluence. But the government has atidy little fight on its hands in itseffort to do so. King Alfonso is a pro-gressive, all right, but the queen moth-er is a reactionary, and she wields apowerful influence."

representatives, dwelling at length onthe purchases' of submarine boatsmade by tho United States.

Men who controlled congress, ho said,purchased eight submarines when thenaval committee had asked for only

four."Let me tell you of Lilley," he said.

"Lilley was a congressman from Con-necticut. One day, on Pennsylvaniaavenue, he said to me, 'Great heavens,what will the people do with this crowd11' they ever get on to them?'

"He began to look around. Down inthe basement of the "White House, hidaway in little cubbyholes, he foundelectric lights in obscure holes, whereno human foot had trod since theelectrician had put them there.

"He went on the committee on navalaffairs. There is a boat company thatmanufactures submarine torpedo boats.It has but one customer, and that isUncle Sam. The navy departmentasked for four of these torpedo boats,but congress gave it eight.

"Lilley thought there was somethingwrong and he began to watch. Everyman said drop it—leave it alone. But aspecial committee was appointed, andthen it soon developed that It was notInvestigating the submarine boat com-pany, but it was hounding Mr. LUlleyto death.

"The people of Connecticut electedhim governor, but he went down to hisgrave pursued by a figure. The nighthe died his last words were: 'Take itaway; don't let it touch me.' "

IOWA INSURGENTS WILLNOT IGNORE PRESIDENT

To Indorse Taft on Progressive

Measures Only

DES MOINES, lowa, Aug. I.—Presi-dent Taft will not be ignored in theplatform of the Republican state con-vention which will be held here nextWednesday. I His administration willbo Indorsed, is as far as it has car-ried out the pledges in the platform of1908."

This was determined upon at a snuglittle meeting of leaders today. Among

those present was "Job" Lane of Dav-enport, who declined to serve on theresolutions committee, thereby clear-ing the political atmosphere material-ly. George C. Curtis of Clinton, willrepresent the second district on theplatform committee. This is said tomean that the majority report of thecommittee will fully. represent theviews of the insurgents, Cummins andDolllver. Thus the convention, Inwhich the progessive majority isplaced at 250 votes, will be spared thetrouble of substituting a minority re-port for the adverse majority.

Senator Cummins circulated freelyamong his friends in the hotels to-night. Among these it was stated thatevery act of the insurgent delegationwould be indorsed and that efforts forharmony would not go to the lengthof Indorsing President Taft on matterswhere he and the Independent progres-sive Republicans have been at vari-ance.

Conference committees had been pro-posed by the miners to meet such con-ference committees as the operatorschose to appoint, but the operatorsheld that by agreement neither theoperators nor miners could demand aJoint meeting and would make no con-cessions to this request of the miners.

Of the number of miners affected bythe strike order about 9500 are in Kan-sas, about 8500 in Missouri, 9000 inOklahoma and about 3000 in Arkansas.Some 5000 in Texas, though in anotherdistrict, will be Indirectly affected by

the strike order, and this, too, willhave an indirect bearing upon theminers in Colorado and other westernstates.

CRIPPEN READYTO RETURN AND

ANSWER CHARGEPolice Plan to Win Confession

from Miss Leneve, HisCompanion

REMANDED UNTIL AUGUST 8

Crowds Surround Palace of Jus-tice in Quebec to See

Prisoner }

NEW YORK, Aug. I.—ln a signed dis-patch from Quebec, which will be print-ed here tomorrow. Sirs. Fred titnett,of Rosclle, N. ,T., who was a close per-sonal friend of Mrs. Hawley Crlppen(Belle Elmore), writes that she lias po-sitively identified as Belle Elmore's, thediamonds taken from Dr. Crlppen andEthel Leneve. when arrested.

(Associated Press)

QUEBEC, Aug. Probably not be-fore August 18 will Dr. Hawley H.Crippen and Ethel Claire Leneve betaken aboard a transatlantic lineround for England, there to stand trialjointly accused of murdering a womanbelieved to have been Belle Elmore.The criminal la— of the British pos-sessions established this today whenthe haggard dentist, whose flight end-ed so dramatically on board the steam-er Montrose yesterday morning, wasarraigned before a magistrate and re-manded until August 8. The girl wastoo ill to appear, but If her condi-tion improves she may be brought intocourt tomorrow.

Crippen will not fight extradition. Ofthe girl's attitude less is known. Sheis still broken in body and spirit, al-ternately shaken with sobs or silentlymorose. Her relatives in London arebeseeching her by cable to tell all andthe Quebec police are treating her witha gentleness rarely accorded a pris-oner, even though a woman.

CROWDS SEE CIUPPENForced through a curious crowd,

Crippen was taken today before theprovincial court of special sessions,where he was formally questioned asto his identity and notified that hewas under arrest for the murder ofan unknown woman. Remanding himto August 8 was purely perfunctory,as he and his companion, under thefugitive offenders act, must remainhere at least fifteen days. On August8 he will likely be remanded againuntil the 15th, and the first avail-able vessel for England will not de-part until three days later.

By that time another detective fromScotland Yard will have arrived, bring-in.;; a formal application for extradi-tion, although this application prob-ably will not be necessary, in view ofthe accused man's declaration that hewill raise no obstacles to hi3return.

Although Cripf -n was the center ofattention when arraigned, perhaps themost interestinng development of theday was the extremely liberal treat-ment of Miss Leneve by the police.Like Crlppen, she is accused of mur-der, but the girl today enjoyed thefreedom of the houso of Chief of Po-lice McCarthy.

OCT OP-JAILWhen taken from jail today It was,

announced she had been taken to ahospital, but this proved to be Incor-rect. She is back in Jail tonight underthe care of a physician, but visitorsto the chief's house say they had aglimpse of her walking about In theyard for a breath of air, under care-ful but unobtrusive surveillance.

Many people believe the police areso markedly lenient with Miss Lenevenot only because they pity her plight,but also because they believe sheIs Crippen's dupe and that she mayturn against him on the witness stand.This is the course her relatives in Lon-don are urging her to take, as severalcablegrams received today made ap-parent.

Crippen occupies a cell In the pro-vincial jail on the heights east of thecity, overlooking the St. Lawrenceriver. He might ask to have theAmerican consul notified or seek anattorney to Insure that he gets fairtreatment. The United States consulhere is Gebhart Will Rich, a formerresident of Milwaukee and St. Paul.Rich said today that while he stoodready to give Crippen all consistentassistance, he had had no applicationto do so and expected none. In fact,he added, he saw no way In which hecould better the situation of the pris-oner in any way.

DEW RESTINGInspector Dew is resting here after

his labors, an object of curiosity ofresidents and to the tourists thatthrong this queer old French city atthis time of the year, and the envy andadmiration of the local police.

A London dispatch says Miss Le-neve's relatives have retained counselhere to defend her. but on this pointthe police have received no official In-formation.

Crippen seemed utterly discouraged.but so far as can be ascertained, hohas let nothing slip that can be usedagainst him when he comes to trial.

Tlie police pin their Hopes upon MissLeneve, but following the wishes ofInspector Dew they declare they aremaking no effort to obtain confessionsand are not subjecting either prisonerto anything approaching the "third de-gree."

Such efforts would be contrary toBritish police methods.

Following the receipt of instructionsfrom Scotland Yard today. InspectorDew visited the courthouse and con-ferred for some moments with thejudge. Then he held a whispered con-ference with the Canadian detectives,after which the latter hurried awayto the Jail. A report that they hadgone after Crlppen filtered through themass of humanity that extended inevery direction from the palace dejustice, high on the historic plains ofAbraham.

PRISONER ARRIVES

Presently the detectives with Crlppendrove up to the courthouse in a car-riage and fought their way through thecrowd to the Judge's chambers. Crip-pen was brought at once to the bar.
