The man is thought to be disgulshed at a woman This and the direct result of the reporting of the first definite clew tho police have received since the physician disappeared on June 9.

Had Little Evidence. Though the inquest was set for today, the police had little evidence at hand upon which to act. Under the direction of Sir Melville MacXaughten, head of Scotland Yards criminal investigation department, additional information has been sent to the police of every continental city, and In America - as well, informing then that Crlppen may have disguised himself as a woman.

EiKhty years the greater part of which has been spent in the up-build Ing of the greatest transportation sys tem in the world, gives Col. Miller, he believes, the right to advise young men to "Do." Over seventy-five letters and tele grams were received Saturday by Col. Miller from presidents and officials of the principal railroad systems of the United States. One letter which is valued greatly because of its demon' stration of years of friendship is that from James McCrea, president of the Pennsylvania system. The letter is warm in its sentiment; subtle In Its wjshes for many more years to add themselves to those passed and . compliments the "Father of the Richmond School of Railroading." A Gift of Roses.

Helen Gould, the amount of publicity given to her family last week has been moBt distressing. While the di vorced wife of Frank Gould was busy dodging detectives, said to have been employed by her former husband to keep watch over her movements, prior to her marriage to Ralph Thomas, Katherine Clemens Gould, the "grass widow" of Howard Gould, was in court pleading Irresponsibility for a tradesman's bill. The pittance of 132,000 a year 6he receives from her husband as allmofiy Is not Quite enough, she thinks, to maintain an establishment for a member of the Gould family. From across the water, 'the Princess Perlgord de Tallyrand (Anna Gould) is reported to be much concerned over a rumor which has recently reached her that Helen Gould intends making the two children of Frank Gould, the heirs to her millions. The Princess de Tallyrand has four children, three by Count Boni Castelane. her first husband, and a baby by her present consort. Prince de Tallyrand. She has counted upon her offspring sharing In the millions of her sister, and the suspicion that this is not to be the case Is said to have greatly disconcerted her of late. It is no secret that the Princess de Tallyrand has lost most of her Influence with her relatives, especially with the two stalwart oaks of the Gould family Helen and George. Her marriage to the) Prince de Sagan, now the Prince de Tallyrand. for many years regarded as one of the most polished rakes in Europe, again at the earnest entreaties of her brother and sister displeased them Immensely.

ROOSEVELT WILL GIVE PRAISE 10 PRESIDENT TAFT

Semiofficially Announced the Ex-president Will Shortly Indorse Administration of Successor. WANTS MORE PRUNING OF THE TARIFF RATES He Will Touch Lightly Upon the Ballinger-Pincnot ControversyWill Act to Save the Party's Defeat. (American News Service) Oyster Bay. July 18. Theodore Roosevelt will come out with an Indorsement of the Taft administration before starting on his speech-making trip through the west. This is the word that comes today from a semiofficial source. Roosevelt will not go bo far as to praise unreservedly his successor in the White House, but In the main he will place his stamp of approval upon the president. Roosevelt believes that in a large measure Taft has tried to follow out "my policies." He will indorse the president's fight for lower tariff but will make it plain that the president's endeavor has not gone far enough. Roosevelt will suggest that the tariff be submitted to another pruning so as to get it in line with promises made by the republican party in the last presidential campaign. Concerning the Pinchot-Bal-linger Controversy, it is expected Roosevelt will deal lightly. While Roosevelt is a steadfast admirer of the former forester, whom the president removed, the colonel is declared to have had some understanding with Taft as to controversy which developed while Roosevelt was in Africa. Gets Ballinger's Scalp. The truce in the Pinchot-Balllnger matter is said to have been patched up while Roosevelt was at Beverly. Roosevelt, still stands by Pinchot as an aggressive advocate of the ex-president's conservation policy. It is regarded here as certain that before Roosevelt makes bis utterances indorsing the Taft regime, the expresident wil have the resignation of Secretary Ballinger. Roosevelt will be actuated in . making his indorsement, it is stated here, to avert what ho considers the possibility of a defeat of his party this fall, with divided ranks. In recent talks the expresident has indicated that he is trying to draw opposing elements together. In his second speech making tour, starting in September, Roosevelt will talk for both insurgents and regulars and he wants it to be understood that he is not taking sides in the war of the administration and anti-administration forces. Roosevelt dictated more than a hundred letters to his secretary today, replying to invitations to drop off and make speeches at various cities along the line of his itineraries for his two trips. He will make no stops, he said today, other than those already scheduled. Roundabout. The very budding barrister assumed the approved legal look of indisputable superiority.
