CRIPPEN NEARING CANADIAN SHORES

Wireless Confirms News Slayer Is On Steamer Montrose. HE ML BE SENT BACK AT ONCE Inspector Dew, on Laurentlc, Passed Steamer Montrose ,at Sea—The Weather Is Foggy, and Only Meager Message Is Sent.

MESSAGE RECEIVED

> ‘‘Dr. Crippen wanted in London • for the murder of Belle Elmore, ► the actress, (jis wife, is on boqrd.”

.Montreal, July 29. —-: There is now absolutely no doubt as to the real identity of the two passengers travelling second class on the Canadian Pacific steamship Montrose from Antwerp to Quebec, and registered under the names of Rev. Robinson and son. Delaney, the wireless operator at Point Armmjr, has been in communication with the Montrose, both directly and through the Allan Line steamer Grauipian, since 3:30 Tbursday afternoon and his messages officially to Col. Percy Sherwood of the Dominion police at Ottawa, to the head office of the Canadian Pacific and unofficially to interested parties here, show that there exists no doubt in the mind of Capt. Kendall and others on board that the Robinsons are the much sought after Dr. Hawley 11. Crippen aud his stenographer, Miss Le Neve.

A wireless message received here from the steamship Montrose via the station at Point Armour on the Straits of Belle Isle, 500 miles below Father Point, announced their presence on board the ship. It |s)pears now that Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, who is on the Laurentie, with a warrant for Crippen, will not be able to make the actual arrest without having his warrant en dorsed by a judge of the court of the king’s bench. This cannot be done at Father Point, or Rimouski, the nearest judicial districts being the city of Quebec, some 200 miles away, or Frazerville, 100 miles to the eastward It was therefore arranged to have Chief McCarthy of the Quebec provincial force, and Chief Denis of Levis, with Chief Constable Gauvreau of the Dominion police, take the doctor and his companion under their wings on suspicion of being undesirable citizens. When Inspector Dew arrives on the Laurentic at Father Point, he will be advised to go ashore and rush up to Quebec by train, where he can have his warrant backed and proceed down the river again to Grosse Isle. In the immigration sheds there, a place on a small scale. Crippen and the Le Neve woman will have the warrant read to them and they will be placed formally under arrest. As soon as Quebec is reached the pair will be taken immediately before Judge Chauveau, be it day or night, and allowed to plead. According to law fifteen days must be allowed to elapse before they can actually , be extradited, whether they waive their rights or not., but as a matter of fact, tt is said that arrangements have already been made to take them back to the old country on the Royal George, which sails od Aug. 4th. ; * Dense fog is reported in the gulf and poor weather conditions for sending wireless messages. The Laurentic shoul4 be off Rimouski about noon today and the Montrose should put in an appearance twenty-four hours later.

FOUR CONVICTS ESCAPE

Gate Opened to Admit Ice Men Furnished Means of Exit. Four Men Who Got Out Were Recaptured Shortly Afterward and Returned to Prison Cells. Ossining, N. Y., July 29 —The most daring escape in the history of Sing Sing prison was attempted and four convicts enjoyed a brief Leave of liberty before they were recaptured. About 9 o’clock a gate on the north wall swung back to allow a cart to pass to the ice house, located outside' the walls, and at the same moment a large body of convicts lounging about the yard in charge of a keeper made a dash for the open gate. Four of them managed to get through before the keeper was able to swing the gate hack and lock it One of the men was captured while lurking in the shadows of an abandoned shoe shop. Another was found in the ice house and a third on a more remote part of the prison grounds. The remaining number of the quartette was caught near Scar* borough, about two miles away, while riding between two cars on a freight train. ;i , Mount McKinley Expedition Fails. Seward. Alaska, July 29.—The Mount McKinley expedition is now returning to Seward, haying failed to reach the summit of the mountain.

ELEVEN KILLED IN WAR GAME BLAST

Artillary Was in Practice Shelling a Dray invading Fleet. A V v,/ ./ . A breech block of a 12-inch gun of a battery at Furi Monroe, Va., blew out during batttb target practice, killing three non-commissioned officers and eight privates of the Sixty-Ninth company of the coast artillery. One other enlisted men received injuries vv hich probably will be fatal and several others were Slightly injured. The accident was the worst in the history of the coast artillery corps. Second Lieut. George L. Van Dusen of the Sixty-Ninth company, was the only commissioned officer injured. His leg was broken. Lieut. Col. Clarence P. Townsley, commanding officer of Fort Monroe, officially reported the accident to the war department. The accident, he said, was probably due to the premature ignition of the powder charge before the breech block was securely locked In its place. , Here are the names of nine of the dead as reported to the war department: HARRY C. HESS, sergeant, Charleston, W. Va. CHARLES O. ADKINS, corporal, Cincinnati, 0. ALBERT BRADFORD, corporal, Dorothy, \Y. Va. ROY DUFFY, private, Naugatuck, W. Va. JOHN \V. CHADWICK, private, Tazewell. Tenn. OLIVE W. KING, private, Dayton, Ohio. ALFRED W. SMITH, private, New York city. ANDY .1. SULLIVAN, private, Perkins, Ky. JAMES 11. TURNER, private, Ripley, Tenn. ARLIE ADEY, private, Brandonvllle, W Va The man probably fatally Injured was Private Judd F. Hogan, Geyer, O. The following were slightly Injured: Private Orville T. Rainey, Findlay, O.j Private Ellsworth W. Hoffman, Pittsburg, Pa,; Private Charles F. Parka, Menominee, Mich.; Private William C. Sulzberger, Fort Monroe.

Battery Deßussey is located about the middle of Fort Monroe. It contains three 12-inch disappearing guns which command the channel to Hampton Roads. A large party of high ranking officer* of the army went to Fort Monroe from Washington to witness the annual battle practice which was held as a part of the commence ment exercises of the officers’ school at thd fort. It was to simulate actual battle conditions as far as possible by firing all the big guns of the fort at an imaginary enemy, represented by a moving target, supposed to be entering Chesapeake bay. It was during this practice that the accident occurred. The first report received by Acting Secretary of War Oliver was from Maj. Gen. William H. Carter, assistant chief of staff, who was a member or the party that had gone from Washington to witness the firing. Here la the message: , “Regret to report accident at commencement of student officers battle practice to a 12-inch gun from probable premature explosion resulting in death of eight men; two others fatally Injured. Lieut. Van Dusen had his leg broken and three additional men slightly injured. Investigation being made and report will be submitted through regular channels.” Lieut, Col. Townsley later sent a more complete report giving the names of the dead and injured. The incident, he added, was probably due to the premature Ignition of the powder charge before the breech block was securely locked. After placing in the gun a projectile weighing 1,048 pounds and a powder charge of 270 pounds the breech block is closed and locked before the gun is fired. In the present instance, so ordnance experts here think, a spark from the previous charge must have ignited tha powder before the gun crew could lot* the breech black. In battle practice such as was being held, thj gunners fire as rapidly as possible. This, it is said here, resulted in the introduction of the charge into the breech before-' sparks of the previous firing had been extinguished. The gun was a model of 1895 and had seen considerable service. It was regarded as amply strong and perfectly safe.
