POLICE SUP OUTBURST
" A,
Seven Weeks After They Leave the
British Metropolis the Couple Is
Returned to the City Where
Crippen's Wife Myste-
riously Disappears.
LONDON, Aug. 27.—Dr. Hftwley H.
Crlppen, tho American dentist, and his
typist. Miss Ethel Clare Lenevo, returned
to London today from Canada, where
they were apprehended by the police on
suspicion of being connected with the
disappearance of Dr. Crippen's actress
■wife, Belle Elmore, and with bavin*
knowledge of the mutilated body, believed
by the police to be that of Mrs. Crlppen
which waa found In their Hilldrop Cres-
cent residences.
It Is Just seven weeks since Dr. Crlppen
and his companion, disguised In boy's
clothes, secretly left London. Following
their disappearance the Scotland Yard
officials Ixigan search tor the suspects In
every part of Europe and had watch
placed on the principal ports on the At-
lantic side of the Western Hemisphere.
'It remained to wireless telegraphy,
however, to locate the dentiBt and his
typist, that agency being utilized by
Captain Kendall of the steamer Montrose
to notify the London authorities that the
pair were on hJa vessel, then In mid-
ocean.
The Crlppen party, composed of the
two prisoners, Chief Inspector Dew and
Sergeant Mitchell of Scotland Yard and
the two wardresses who had In charge
Miss Leneve, arrived at Huston Station
st 7 o'clock this evening from Liverpool,
where they disembarked a few hours
earlier from the steamer Megantlc. Three
taxlcabs were waiting at the station and
t he piwty immediately waa driven to the
How Street police court, where the ac-
cused man and woman were formally
charged with the crime and then placed
In cells.
An Immense crowd which had gathered
at Euston hissed and hooted the pair
when they emerged from the station,
but the police prevented further hostile
demonstrations.
DECISION STIRS STRIKERS
Closed Shop Is Called a Conspiracy,
Rules Court.
NEW YORK. Aug. 27.—Parades of pro-
test broke out all over the East Side this
morning on recept of the news that Jus-
tic® Goff had mled In the State Supreme
Court today that a strike which demands
the "closed shop" Is a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade.
Bands of the 60,000 eloakmakers now on
strike marched through the streets, one
rif them to the City Hall, carrying ban-
ners and American flags and shouting:
'Closed shop" at every step. There was
no violence, but apparently tho decision
had greatly stirred the strikers.
Justice CJoff's decision granted an In-
junction to a member of the Manufac-
turers' Protective Association in restraint
of .-vets of violence, threats, picketing and
patrolling by strl%ars.

COWBOYS ON HURRICANE DECK
OF BRONCHOS FILLS HIM
WITH GLEE.
I
Indians Give Warwhoop as Former
President Appears, and the Rest
of the Throng Adds to the
Din as He Appears on
Celebration Scene.
CHEYENNE, Wvo., Aug. 27.- -"I'm here
to see what you fellows can on the
hurricane deck of a broncho," Theodore
Roosevelt said today as a group of cow-
boys and the hardest riders In tho West
gathered around him, mounted on their
horecs. Colonel Roosevelt saw all that
the Wild West of today had to show him
In the way of deeds of skill and daring,
and said tho spirit of the West was still
alive.
HE AGAIN BECOMES PLAINSMAN.
As Colonel Roosevelt watched the cow-
boys at their work, heard the Indian
yell and saw the familiar sights of more
than twenty years ago, when he was a
plainsman, the spirit of It all came over
him again, and he climbed down from
the flag-draped reviewing stand and
mounted a big white horse. He galloped
around the half-mile track at Frontier
Park and past the crowded grandstand,
wlilie cowboys yelled, Indians gave their
war whoop and the rest of tho crowd
joined in a tremendous shout. He dis-
mounted after one lap, smiling his delight,
find went back to his place to see the
rest of the fun.
There was no formality about Roose-
velt today at Cheyenne. Every cowboy
who had drawn a year's pay and could
get here came. There were thousands of
them, with a good many girls.
They came on horaeback from scores of
miles around, some of -them from points
hundreds of miles away. The streets were
thronged with men and women on horse-
back In picturesque attire of many colors.
There were a good many thousands of
other persons, too, Eastern tourists and
the tradesmen and plain farmers of the
region, but they got little attention.
It was the day of the old Wild West.
By the time Colonel Roosevelt arrived
here, shortly after 9 o'clock this morn-
ing, the celebration was well under way.
They met him at the station with a band
and escort of oavalry, and then there
was a parade. The exhibition at the
park followed, and then there came a
dinner which Governor Brooks gave to
the former President.
A smoker at the Industrial Club and a
theater party, both of which Colonel
Roosevelt attended, would up the day.
THE STAR ATTRACTION.
At the celebration at the park, which
Is set In the midst of the brown
plains of Wyoming, a mile and a
half north of the city, Colonel
Rcosevelt was the star attraction at tho
park and Sand Creek came next. Satid
Creek is said to be the wickedest horse
in the world, and after a long combat
he bested A1 Whtiney, one of tho most
skilful horsemen in the West.
Colonel Roosevelt watched the struggle
and. after It was over he shook the baud
of Whitney and complimented him.
The sun was baking the plains with
its fiery heat when Colonel Roosevelt
appeared. He rode In an automobile
from Cheyenne, although some of the
cowboys were expecting ho would appear
In chaps and sombrero on a horse. The
Indians were the first to spy him as he
rounded the turn of the half-mile track
and set up a wild yell. The crowd that
filled the grandstand and the bleachers
and overflowed Into the field joined In
and gave the colonel the noisest welcome
he has had since lie left New York.
Captain Hardy, who, according to the
megaphone, is the champion marksman
of the world, was just drawing a picture
REINSERT PROVISION THAT BILL
SHALL NOT TAKE EFFECT
UNTIL JANUARY 20.
ULTERIOR PURPOSE SUM
HITCHING WILD HORSES AT CHEYENNE IN THE UNION PACIFIC COUNTRY.
With Roosevelt on the ground and the meanest lot of *vi'd horses to be procured anywhere on hand things are In fine shape
for the annual frontier celebration at Cheyenne, Wyo. "Frontier Days" were planned fourteen years ago by the citizens of Chey-
enne to com mem orate the daring and thrilling deeds of frontier life on the plains, perpetuating the sports in their most natural
and realistic fashion before they pass into history and are rep'aced by other forms of life and customs. "Frontier Days ' have
become famous the world over by reason of the uuusnal character of the sports, the thrilling deeds of horsemanship and realistic
pictures of Western life as portrayed by thousands of cowboys and cowgirls, dressed iu their natural costumes, riding tl-e frac-
tious Western bronchos and all taking part In the sports which hivo made pioneer life on the plains romantic and eicltlug.
10,000 to 40,000 persons attend the celebration each year. More th^n KMX) cowboys and cowgirls come in on their horses. This year
they formed a grand galloping parade, with mounted bands of Sioux Indians, and escorted Roosevelt through the city and out to
the frontier grounds, whore the city has constructed iron and cement grandstands. A band of Sioux Indians, headed by Red
Cloud, son of the famous chief, lied Cloud, are there and will give their dog-oats, pow wows and Indian war dances. Some of the
few remaining wild buffalo have been secured for the celebration. They will be hunted by the Indians, and cowboys will try to
ride them. A large number of other features have been arranged.

of Colonel Roosevelt by firing bullets at
a white target when the colonel appeared.
The colonel took his place In a review-
ing stand Just across the track from
the grandstand end watched the cham-
pion's fancy shots.
Four cowgirls had a half-mile raco on
horseback next. _
GIRL CATCHES HIS FANCY.
Joella Trwln, who Is 13 years old, ap-
peared in short Whito trousers on the
back of Brownie, and she caught the col-
onel's fancy. Before tho race began he
beckoned to her and shook her hand.
She had two bad falls from lier mount
and was badly shaken up, but refused to
withdraw. She won the race today, and
Colonel Roosevelt called her hack ta
him to tell her how glad he was.
Then a dozen cowboys picked up the
reviewing stand after Colonel Roosevelt
had descended from It and carried it
across the track, so that the crowd might
hear the colonel's speech, which came
next
Governor Brooks introduced him, and
for half an hour he talked to the 'crowd,
lie spoke of the old Wost, now fast
passing away, and tho men it developed.
He told the peoplo of the new West
they must preserve those same character-
istics if the Nation Is to endure. He
urged them to be progressive and to re-
member that whether he be In the East
or In the West every man must be a
true American.
"it will be a bad day for America, tho
end of America, if the average American
loses the quality of being a dead game
man," he said. That caught the fancy
o£ the cowboys, who cheered him wildly.
After Colonel Roosevelt had finished
his speech there was a potato race. Two
boxes filled with potatoes were sat on
the track fifty yards apart, with opposing
teamn of horsemen about each one. Each
horseman had a long stick with a
pointed end with which he speared a po-
tato. The team which succeeded In put-
ting the greater number of potatoes in
the box of tho opposing team won.
The broncho busting was tile most in-
teresting of all to Colonel Roosevelt.
While Al Whitney was having his tus-
sle with Sand Creek, the colonel arose
from his seat In his excitement and
Watched every move by man and horse.
Teddy Roosevelt, Steamboat, Silver City
and Rocking Chair, known all over the
West as horses who no one oould ride,
helped to amuse the crowd.
Some criticism of Colonel Roosevelt by
a New York newspaper (the Evening
Post) brought forth a spirited reply from
him today. He learned ho had been criti-
cised fur some of the speeches which ho
has been making on his Western trip,
particularly for his remark concerning
Corporations in his Buffalo/BBecrh.
"It is Just such an attack as I ex-
pectad," he said, "Just as sooir as prac-
tical effort for cleanliness and decency
in New York politics was made."
SQUAWS HAVE A RACE.
The Indians rode several races, yelling
wildly all the while. The squaws bail a
race of their own and Uses-Rat ran away
from Mrs. Slathead, Lost-a-I'ln, Carrie
Nation, Works of tho Tub, Twist Ear
and Mrs, I'lnbead. Ail tho squaws wore
loose trousers and silk blouses of flam-
ing colors.
The cavalrymen from Fort Russell had
a sham battle, Charlie Hirsle drove a
team of buffaloes around the track and
the Indians gave a war dance, There
was an exhibition of lassoing and brand-
ing, and there w'as to have been a mule
race, tut the mules refused to run.
The bucking ability of the horses drawn
this afternoon for the broncho busting
championship soon narrowed the contest
to Sam Seovtlla, Charles McKlnley and
Charles Thomas.
Each was forced to ride two horses and
Scovlllo was declared winner after two
sensational rldee' on Driver and Aero-
plane. McKlnley was second, while
Thomas was given a h<#vy fall by Miller
Kid, his last horse.
Governor Brooks gave Ills dinner Imme-
diately after the sports were over
The guests Included Colonel Roosevelt,
ex-Governor W, A. Richards, United
States Judge John A. Blnock, Jnmes R.
Garfield, George Ade and Senators War-
ren and Borah.

lish Daily in the Capital,
Owes $114,500.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug W.—Coinci-
dent with a further change today In the
receivership of the dcfunct United States
Banking Company's affairs, Whereby W.
E. Stavert, an official of tho Bank of
Montreal, succeeded Frederick Kladt of
tho Banco Central as receiver, the Mexico
Dally Record, the only afternoon daily
in English In thlj capital, suspended
publication.
In an announcement, printed In the
final Issue, the suspension if attributed
to the chango In the receivership. The
newspaper had been operating for some
months past under a receivership grow-
ing out of inability of the Record Pub-
lishing Company t- meet an obligation of
f114,500 gold to the Unit 3d States Bunk-
ing Company at tho time of the bank's
failure last January,
According to the announcement today,
a proposition for a settlement .if the ob-
ligation, which had been setlf factory to
Receiver Kladt, >vas not acceptable to
the new receiver, and for that reason
plans for a reorganizati on of the pub-
lishing company wero abandoned.
Kladt, In tendering Ids resignation to
the court, alleged a press of private busi-
ness affairs as his reas n for withdraw-
ing from connection with the receiver-
ship. He succeeded Alfonso Arraign, tho
first receiver appointed, several months
ago.
The Bank of Montreal Is the largest
creditor of the oiispended bank, the
amount due the former being $7,089,000.

(By George Waverley Rrlggs.)
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 27, -Over the pf0-"
test of Senators Greer and I'aulus, tho
Senate part of the Joint committee, which
today completed its draft of the penlten.
tl" ry reform bill eliminated the emergency
clause and reinstated u provision provid-
ing that the measure take effect Janu-
ary 20.
The purpose of this action Is to allow
the appointment of the commission to be
ono of the privileges of patronage to which
Mr. Colquitt's ejection to tho Governorship
will entitle him under the spoils system
of politics which hanjgrown np and thrived
In Texas for the last half century. The
reform bill Inveighs vigorously ugalnst
subordinating the penal systorn to tho
demands of politics and requires Its di-
vorcement from the executive chamber.
Yet the first consideration of a part of
the Senate has been throughout this ses-
sion to achieve solely a political end, name-
ly, the satisfying of a caprice of an ad-
ministration that has not been brought
Into being. For this purpose, tho recal-
citrants are disposed to urruy themselves
relentlessly against the bill unless their
colleagues and tho House be willing to
acquiesce in their demand. The opposition
In the Senate la manifestly aligned upon
the principle which was enunciated in the
committee recently—"rather kill the hill
titan support It with the emergency clause."
TIIE ULTERIOR PURPOSE SHOWN.
Consequently, despite deplorable condi-
tions which only a commission form of
government can ameliorate and eventually
eradicate, that part of the Senate which
Is disposed to heed the suspected wishes of
the incoming administration. Is tho chief
obstacle which advocates of reform are
now confronting.
A member of the Legislature today ad-
dressed another thus:
"Do you know wlmt Mr/ Colquitt wants
about this penitentiary bill?"
"No," the member replied, "and I care
less. TMg Is a reform bill."
"But wo will need Colquitt next year,"
the rejolu'der came, indicating the ulterior
consideration of the speaker.
"No we won%," said his friend with a
smile, "he will need us."
Thus tersely was the situation surveyed
from two viewpoints. Persons having po-
litical aspirations, perhaps touching Con-
gressional honors, desire the friendship of
the Incoming administration. This Is an
assumption that bears every evidence of
accuracy. But those who are sufficiently
perspicacious to penetrate tho future and
summarise conditions know that Mr, Col-
quitt will be required to eo-opemte with
n Legislature that will be overwhelmingly
antagonistic to the principal views enun-
ciated by bis platform. Therefore the po-
litical side of the situation has little If
anything to offer, whereas the humani-
tarian side h'as everything to provide In
the way of merited reward by virtue of
the substantial benefits which the Imme-
diate operation of the bill will produce
among n class of public dependents which
has long been wantonly and In many In-
stances criminally neglected and abused.
The Colquitt men have created this Issue.
It Is for their settlement. Thoy are fa-
miliar with conditions which have pre-
Cnn tin tied on Fuge Three.
