The crowds gathered about Uhe railroad property, where heavy guards were stationed.

' SHOPS Number, of 'Paid Subscribers in. the Gity TRAIL i ;- 1 Police EelieTeTteyHaveLocat ed Him Crossing Atlantic Believed to lie on the Steamer Mont rose Officers Following on the Liner Laurentic Vessels Arrive in New York Next Monday, ! (By Cable to The Times) , - London, July . 25 With - engines straining under every possible ounte of steam, the liner Laurentic today is throbbing her way. across the At lantic at express speed and In the most sensational ocean race of years a race that has for its prize the capturo of Dr. Hawley Harvey Crip- pen and Ethel Clare LeNeve, wanted here In connection with the. murder of Belle Elmore, Crlppen'g wife. Ac cording to the best information ob tainable there is little doubt but that they are on the steamer Montrose. Inspector Dew, of the Scotland Yard, In charge of the world-wide search for the fugitive is In constant wireless communication with the London police and it is expected that within a short time he will be able to speak directly with Captain Mot- crop, of the Montrose, whose quick action led to the dlscoveryof the pair believed to be Crlppen and his com panion. ' Through other ships that relays the messages, the Montrose today was in communication1 with. Scotland Yard, it was learned here, in spite of the taciturnity of the police. It is also known that the author ities have requested Captain Moscrop, who is his own master, under no jur isdiction when on the , high seas, to keep the disguised pair under surveil lance, and moreover, to throw Crlp pen into irons at the first indication, that he has learned his .situation. ; In spite of the efforts of Captain Moscrop and his officers, fears are entertained here that an idea of-the supposed identity of the psuedo cler gyman and his son the roles taken by the suspected pair will be gained by the score of other second class pas sengers, or even-some of the four hundred In the steerage. Such an event might lead Crlppen to desper ation. There is a strong belief here, however, that he would brazen it out, hoping for liberty if brought to trial, on the grounds that there Is not a scrap of direct evidence against hlni, and even., the corpus delictic, the body proving murder, is not produc-a-blej there being as yet- no complete legal certainty, as to the identity of the woman'stbody found mutilated and lh quicklime, buried in the cellar at Crippen.'s home, 39 Hllldrop Cres cent, London. v -The police, today refused to com ment on the report that. Inspector Dew had decided to i board the Mon trose at sea. - , - , In the. beat informed Circles, how ever,. little credence is given this to port.,'vThei Montroae- is a -twelve day boat and the Laurentic makes the passage of the Atlantic in eight days. The Laurentic will get to Quebec twelve hours before the Montrose is due there, on Monday. The climax In the sensational dash across the ocean may. come at Rlmouskt, where the hlps are due the day before they reach Quebec. . , Toattemnt to transfer at sea, even should no difficulty be experienced in having the vessels meet, would excite the suspicions of the quarry; if noth ing else did. In the eyes of the au thorities, little would be gained, and such an arrest might prove the basis for a technical defense in court, tne sea being under, the lftw of no coun try. The fact that the London police failed to locate the supposed clergy man and his son on the arrival of the Montrose from Antwerp, and her -departure from the Canadian Pacific wharf at Victoria docks In the east end of London, 'has aroused more ad verse comment on the' actioh of ;the authorities; who have been severely censured by press and public for Jet ting Crlppen escape .after he was sus pected and questioned.

Gar field, ex-secret&ry of the interior, ar rived here to'day with his progressive stale platform, 'ready for the republi can state convention, which opens to morrow. Though his friends claim a liberal number of -delegates for him, as woll as the backing of Theodore Roosevelt; Mr. Garfield's prominence. as a candidate is less discussed than that of others. With -Ohio,? President Taft's home state, regarded in a measure as the most important field in the elections next fall, because of Governor Har mon's boom toy the presidency, the indications today were for a bitter struggle for the nomination. Among the -leading candidates, be sides Mr. Garfield, are Nicholas Longworth, son-in-law of ex-President Roosevelt; Garren G. Harding, ex-lieutenant governor, and friend of ex-Senator Foraker; Secretary of State Thompson, and Judge Britt Brown, who has the hacking of Geo. B. Cox, boss of Cincinnati. ox today declared that he had 450 delegates pledged to Brown. No other candidate has such a force be hind him. Cox is understood by his friends to wish greater power in Ohio and hopes to get control of the state through Brown.. Senator Burton, who is fighting against .Judge-iBrown, is understood to favor the nomination of Speaker Granville Money, of Ashtabula, who has been in the race for secretary of state. t The Taft forces are largely under the direction o'tf'Vade Ellia, who w-as sent out several months ago from Washington to let Mr. Taft's wishes be known. ' Mr. Longworth will be temporary chairman of the convention. He has many supporters, but the fact that Mr. Roosevelt Is understood to be in mbre favor of Garfield's nomination is a strong factor In the situation. Garfield's delegates today declared that Mr. Roosevelt would stump for their chief, the spokesman of the Roosevelt policies. Much comment was made on the fact that Senator Foraker will not at tend the convention. Wade Ellis did away with the custom of inviting ex senators to participate in conventions. Many profess to see great signifi cance in the move, " Many preliminary conferences were held today. , Negro Woman Lynched. (By Leased Wire to The.

TWO HUNDRED LOST (By Cable to The Times) Tokio, July' 25 At least 299 persons are lost as the result of the .-sinking-of the steamer Tatsurl Maru, accord ing to the wireless reports received here today from the war ships cruis ing off Uip Mix'tan toast fir survivor. All hope has "been-.abandoned- for the passengers and members -.of the -crew not among the forty who were saved when the ship went down Saturday night. ' The reports of the survivors indi cate that the vessel was destroyed by ah explosion, which came immediately after, she hail run. on the rocks in the treacherous passage between Kobe and Dairen. A rumor reached Tokio today , that a third boat had been picked up, over turned, with no survivors near. The forty who were saved escaped from the wreck In two life boats. As it is known that six boats were launched' the vessel came to grief In the fog, the general- opinion hero is pessimistic. W. --Cunningham, the British vice consul at Osaka who was among the nineteen first and second class pas sengers saved, has communicated with friends here,- commending the actions of - the fifty - soldiers- aboard. These troops, be says, quelled the panic .that threatened to make the disaster hope less. In- spite of the first reports, it Is now believed that much disorder at tended the accident. It is understood that the majority of the 105 steerage passengers were trapped 'tween decks and had little op portunity to get away from the dam aged steamer. . WANT POSTAL FI NDS.

Some few weeks ago RaleisJ: decid ed to experiment on making good streets. A. block on Salisbury .street was selected between Martin and llar gett to he used as a sample. Hun dreds of dollars were spent in Hav ing this block rebuilt, and treated with "Tarvla" and it appeared t;iat it was going to be a fine block and that all the streets where there is only light travel could be rebuilt with this new : road-building material. There were many people at the time who said there was no use rebuild ing the streets or in putting down suc:i preparations because the plumb era -would, come right along and dig up the street and leave it in holes and it would be even --worse' than, it is now. . Such has proven to be true. Tins morning two workmen went into this "sample block" and cut it entirely in ualves. .: A big -ditch has been cut right througiv the city's sample block and there is no way these plumbers can put back this pavement. But this is not the worst of the situation. Raleigh is soon to have her main sireetis paved with bitlnilithic. We are informed that some of the prop erty holders have refused to have their pipe connections made on Fay etteville streets. These property owners, presumably, do not like the present city administration and for that reason they will wait until the street Is paved, and then have the plumbers go at it with pick and shovel. If you wish to see how the sample pavement is betng treated, just ke a lool; at the block between Martin and Hargett on Salisbury. If the city is going to allow any plumber, property owner, or anybody else that comes along with a pick, to dig up the paving, then it would be better to leave the present old rocks in place, as they can possibly-be re placed by tae kind of workmen who tear it- up.
