MIIU I llak lllojjcuiui iovv, wviiu Is in Pursuit of a Faster Boat, Will Succefed in Capturing Slayer. (American News Service.) London, July 26. "If the law is unable to punish Crippen, I will take vengeance for the wrongs he has dpne my daughter." White with hatred for Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen. the American wanted here in connection, with the murder of hit wife, Belle Elmore, Walter Noave today made this declaration, lie is the father of Ethel Clare Le Neve, the pretty girl who, posing as French, was Crippen's stenographer and is now believed to be with bim disguised as a boy, on the steamer Montrose, speeding to Canada. Not for an hour since the case became public, nearly two weeks ago, has Neave failed to follow every development. He has spent day after day about Scotland Yard, craving every bit of Information vouchsafed by the men directing the search who have scoured the entire world. Other Scents Struck. Though the detectives, from Sir Melville MacNaughten down, are satisfied that Crippen and the girl are on the Montrose and that Inspector Dew will nab them after the liner Laurentlo has beaten out the slower boat In the race across the ocean, other scents continue - to reach the tiaajfflitartitra nt h fiiiitt- Then air followed at a precaution no matter bow hopeless they appear on the surface. Interest In the case Is still at fever heat here. Not In years has London been so wrought up over a murder mystery. Betting on Crippen's possible capture is going on in the clubs and on the stock exchange, where the oddi today were 4 to 1 that he would klU himself, and 2 to 1 that he and the girl would end their lives. Thousands of dollars have been put up. Since the discovery that the fugitives probably were aboard the Montrose many clews have been received corroborating this view. The police have pieced together the movements of the couple from the time of tbeir disappearance, on June 9, and now are In a position to show fairly well where they were every day from the time they left London till tbey boarded the Montrose. It la understood that they have gathered material which would be of great use in the courts. The report has been published here that Crippen and the girl had been arrested by the captain of the Montrose has attracted much attention. Scotland Yard officials, however, refused to comment on it today. Nevertheless the fact that Dew has been in communication with his chiefs here 'and has been trying to reach the Montrose's captain by relaying wire- . lees messages is reported authoritatively. At noon today (London time) which would be 7 a. m. New York Ume, the Lautentlo was but 250 miles behind the Montrose. TEACHERS SECURED. Many high school students have passed examinations for employment this season as school teachers. Town ship Trustee Haworth has signed up a number. Some time this week .he will make a tour of the schools. WHY I have not made a public address for some time without emphasizing tbw fact that the newspaper publisher who has space to sell makes a great error In assuming that either the magazine or the bill poster or street car man Is his real competitor. Literally, millions of dollars are betas spent today in house-to-house canvassing, store demonstrating, and particularly In sampling, that could be mora efficiently spent if retail dealers were educated to comprehend the true value of advertising space. Many retail dealers have bought apace from the publisher of a daily newspaper under the assumption that the space Itself comprehended the real aalee service. In doing this they were naturally disappointed and condemned the value of newspaper space In Its ' entirety. Then there are dealers in large cities who are unable to make profitable use of advertising space because they would have to pay for circulation

Roosevelt's Friend Is Apparently in the Lead for the Ohio Republican Gubernatorial Nomination, Today.

HARDING SENTIMENT ALSO QUITE STRONG Every Phase of National Republican Situation Is Reflected in Miniature at the Ohio Convention. (American Newi Service.) Columbus, O., July 26. With James R. Garfield, son of the martyred pres ident, in the lead as a candidate for the republican nomination for gover nor the situation today continued to be much muddled while the delegates devoted their energies to routine work of the organization. Talk on a dark horse .to beat Garfield centered on Congressman Taylpr of the Twelfth district Harding sentiment is also very strong. Several conferences are scheduled which may bring results Garfield's progressive platform is al most a cinch. ' Every phase of the national repub lican situation Is reproduced in minia ture In President Taft's home state, and today, the climax of months of preparation, finds a turmoil almost unprecedented in this state of hot poli tics. Phase of Situation. One phase of the situation which Is attracting much attention. Is the posclbillty of the convention's definitely settling the respective attitudes of Roosevelt and Taft. " The supporters of Garfield, ' who has been one of the chief figures in the Ballinger-Pinchot' row, openly claim that the ex-president would take the stump In his behalf were be Charles P. Taft, brother of '"the president, has refused to support Gar field If the latter Is nominated. Mr, Taft owns a Cincinnati newspaper. Senator Burton also opposes the exsecretary of the Interior, though sup porting his platform. The opposition Is based on the feeling that Garfield's nomination would be an affront to the president, according to Burton's lieu tenants. NEW POSTAL ORDER A ruling has been made by the post office department that no return re ceipt card will be furnished with reg istered letters in the future unless the sender marks, "receipt desired." The local office has received notice of the change. TO REORGANIZE IT "H possible, I will reoganize the Chandelier and Art Brass Works with either the Idea of maintaining it or offering It for sale," said Richard Sedgwick, former member of the company who yesterday bought the plant at auction for 120,000. HAVENS IS III RACE (American News Service) Rochester, N. Y., July 26. James M. Havens, who recently was elected to congress over G. Alldridge. will be a candidate for the democratic gubernatorial nomination in New York state. County Chairman J. P. Daly announced today that Havens would have the solid votes of Monroe and Wayne county delegations. covering the entire city when they draw trade only from the neighbor hood. They are, naturally, prone to give more credit to sampling than to the intelligent use of newspaper space: Thus manufacturers really find It more profitable to use this antiquated and more expensive form of publicity when a little assistance on the part of the newspaper publisher In educat ing the dealers in his own city to a true appreciation of the space he had to sell, would result in a great saving to the manufacturer distributing to local dealers as well as a large increase in business to the publisher himself. I do not know who is to bring about the reform of making the terms In the advertising business stand out clear cut and distinct for what they really should be other than those of us who are engaged. In the work of the trade itself. John Lee Mahin at Omaha. July 19, 1910.

CUBAN REBELLION HAS BROKEN OUT; GOVERNMENT ACTS prising. of -Negroes. Is ' 'T. ST - - - Feared and . Today One Thousand Men Were Rushed to Meet Rebel Forces. GOVERNMENT WAS NOT TAKEN BY SURPRISE And Apparently Havana Will Be Able to Suppress the Outbreak General Miniet Heads Insurgents. (American News Service) Havana. July 26. Revolt has broken out in Santiago province. An uprising of the negroes is feared. One thou sand men equipped on a war basis and taking field guns, were rushed from Havana early today 1 to meet the Insurgents, who are commanded by General Miniet and Colonel Janet. The rurales at every point have been advised to be on their guard, and fighting is believed to be imminent. The exact force of the rebels is not definitely known, according to semi- official statements, but the state of rebellion is authoritatively admitted. It is understood that Miniet - has under him or On the way to his headquarters several thousand men. The , government is concentrating troops and the railroad officials have been ordered to have special trains ready for instant departure. The garrison at Santiago has been notified that reinforcements will be sent as soon as possible. - Rebels' First Move. The first move of the rebels, according to the reports of spies who have been watching the preparations for the revolt, ' would be upon Santiago, with the idea of making a provisional capital. The rebels lie in the region of El Caney. Miniet went there when he dropped from sight two days ago about the same time that Janet disappeared. The government has not been taken by surprise, as the revolutionary attempt has been imminent for soma time the hotbed-being Santiago. Senor Menocal, who was defeated for president by President Gomel is aiding the insurgents, as are Generals Rabi and Cabrago, according to reports here. The two latter are known as opponents of the government. The expedition against the rebels Is headed by General Montagedo of the rurales. The defection of a large body of troops was reported here this morning. The government denied the truth of the rumor. Government supporters however admit that In some sections the movement probably will secure popular support. The Americans have done at Panama twice as much in their six ears, the first two of which were devoted to cleaning up. . as the French did in about sixteen, though in the circumstances the French did marvelously well.

(American News Service) Newport, R. I., July 26. In the gale-beaten Atlantic off the New England coast today, a score of vessels are searching for a motor-boat, which it is fSared, was lost after a long battle with the sea. Women were seen in the boat's party. Following the return of the torpedo boat Morris, which put out last n?ght and was forced to 1 return early this morning without a glimpse of the distressed little craft, plans were immediately made for a general hunt, the wireless flashing out a call to every vessel in radius. When dawn came today, hundreds were lined along the shore looking over the treacherous waters of West Island a spot to be. shunned by Mariners in the best of weather.

' INSURGENTS ASK NOTHING CANVASS WILL BE -: DIRECTED FROM THE NEW YORK OFFICE, THE CHICAGO OFFICE BEING A SUBSIDIARY ONE. Washington, July 26. With the transfer of its headquarters from here to New York this week and the opening of branch headquarters in Chicago, the republican congressional com mittee will begin field operations in the campaign for control of the house of representatives. Chairman McKinley of Illinois and Secretary Loudenslager of New Jersey are' making the most elaborate preparations for a harrowing conflict with the democrats, not to mention the insurgents, and they are making . it plain that they don't propose - to lose any standpat seats if money and argument can avail. That the preparations of the committee are to be wholly in the interests of the reactionary organization controlled by the Cannon crowd of standpatters also has become apparent. The committee will give aid to standpat candidates wherever ungrateful and misguided constituents show prejudice against standpatters. , . Insurgents Will Not Ask Aid. The committee proclaims that it like wise will assist insurgent candidates who find the campaign hard sledding. But the Insurgents are not asking aid from the committee and according to statements of Insurgent members of the lower house who are candidates for re-election they do not intend to call upon the organisation.' The insurgents contend that their cause Is so popular with the people that the aid of the organization ma chinery is pot needed. -' It' therefore turns out that the fund being collected by Chairman McKinley and his associates will be poured Into the districts where standpat candidates are In danger. .-. Manage Campaign from New York. It was emphatically stated today at the headquarters of the committee that the campaign will - be managed from the New York office which will be j opened the latter part of this week.

Until Medical Inspection Is Es

tablished an Open Air School for Consumptives Is Not Needed. THINK LEGISLATURE WILL PASS DESIRED BILL Through Proper Inspection It Could Be Determined What Children Should Attend tha Schools. After two years of hard work state . educators believe that a bill providing for medical examiners : in all school communities will be passed. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health has announced that a suf- , ficient number of names have been ; secured to a petition, which practically make It prohibitive for the legislature to ignore the wide spread de mand. - Under the present law only those cities of 100,000 population or over : are allowed to devote money to medi cal examiners. According to the edu cators, medical examiners In : every school community are essential to the - work of teaching and to the general health. Due Healthy Pupils. It Is due. they hold, the healthy as well as the ill that examination of pupils be made several times a year. "Because of the present law," said Supt. T. A. Mott, "It ia impossible for the city to accept the kind offer qf Mrs. Foulke for the establishment of an open air school for incipient tubercular ' pupils. . There Is no way now; by which the . school authorities can determine who should and ahould not -be allowed to enter such an annex. "It would not be proper to those who are known io be tiTcUl or threatened and ignore cases wtlch are not apparent.' The object of the move would be lost. "Medical examiners In schools, will go a great way toward improving the general state of -. health. - Although .
