And Children of Her Bréther Frank She lIs Caring For. = GOULD CHILDREN WITH AUNT Former, Mrs. Frank Gould Sails on Second Honeymoon Abroad. New -York, July 15—Ralph Hill Thomas and his bride, who.was Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould, former wife of Frank J. Gould, sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse for Europe to spend possibly a year abroad. f They will tour the Continent, visit India and Egypt and make a complete tour of the world before returning to the United States. The apparent tangle over the posses- sion of the two Gould children, Helen and Dorothy, seems to be straightened out. They are at the home of their aunt, Miss Helen Miller Gould, at Ir- vington-on-Hudson, where they had been some time previous to the cere- mony. Miss Gould will act as their guardian, according to an agreement. ENGLISH POLICE SEEK AMERICAN Dr. Hawley Crippen Accused of " Murdering Wife, London, July 15—Scotland Yard authorities are bending every effort to locate Dr. Hawley Crippen, an American dentist, who disappeared last Saturday. The body of a woman, supposed to have been that of his wife, formerly Belle Elmore, a noted singer, was found buried in a cellar of their home on the outskirts of London. It was officially announced that Crippen has been formally charged with the murder and mutilation and that the police all over the world have been asked to arrest him on sight. Crippen is said to have fled with another woman with whom he was liv- ing and who had assumed the name of Mrs. Crippen. Despite the calling in of all the neighbors the police have been unable positively to identify the decomposed body found in the cellar as that of Mrs. Crippen, though they are firmly of that belief. She has not been seen since February and her murder prob- ably occurred at that time. 2 The dead woman, if she is really Mrs. Crippen, was famous all over England and the Continent as a con- cert singer, owing to the wonderful born in Philadelphia,” the daughter of a Polish family of noble birth, who had fled Poland to escape persecution. MANY CHINESE ARE KILLED Portuguese Gunboat Renews Bombard- ment of Pirate Island. Hongkong, July 15—The guns of the Portuguese gunboat Patria dis- lodged the Chinese from the fort on Colowan island. Many of the Chinese were killed during the bombardment. Two junks loaded with Chinese who were attempting to escape were sunk and all of their occupants drowned. The Chinese gunboats stationed here watched the operations. Trouble between the Portuguese and Chinese on Colowan island grew out of an attempt of a force of Portu guese soldiers to-rescue several Chi- nese students who were held captives by pirates on the island. The pirates showed fight and were reinforced by natives from the Chinese villages of the interior. The resistance was so effective’ that the governor of Macao sent a gunboat. to bombard the pirate villages*and the ‘fort. = gation assured the officers of the con- LOST—Silver-mounted fountain pen &ross muth_er;nu np polities, no range of her voice.

COURT SPEAKS POINTEDLY Tells Inquisitors Not to Indict an “Alias,” but to Get the Real Of- fenders, No Matter Whom They Might Be—Individual True Bills Ex- pected as a Result of the Charge Given by the Ju’dge. Chicago, July 15‘—Judge K. M. Lnn- dis’ charge 'to the special federal grand jury empanelled in the United States district court to.hear evidence in regard to the alleged violations of the anti-trust law by . the National Packing company and subsidiary com- panies was most direct in its instruc- tions to “get thé real offenders, disre- garding the mere . ‘aliases’ the grand Jurors might find.” dndividual indict- ments are expected as a result. The Jury was cautioned by Judge Landis in -his: charge to allow their actions to be wholly free from the in- fluence of the often heard argument that law enforcement will unsettle business. “You' may safely assume,” contin- ued Judge Landis, “that no legitimate'| enterprise needs governmental “acqui- escence in-the commission of crime. You will treat the statute to which I have referred as being just as much in force as are the laws against steal- ing letters and counterfeiting coins.” ‘ Must Locate Real Otfenders. The_jury was also told to follow the trail until the “real offenders” are lo- cated. “If your investigation discloses the use of an alias do not indict.a mere alias, but follow the trail wherever it may lead until you have located, iden- tified and pointed out the real offend- ers” William S. Kenyon, assistant to the attorney general, has left Washington for this city, where he will assist the officialsof the district attorney's office in the presentation to the grand jury of evidence in the o called beef trust and oleomargarine fraud cases. The government twice before has secured indictments in the beef cases, but the defendants escaped trial be- cause in one instance they were given an “immunity bath’’ for having testi- fied in a special inquiry conducted by the government and on the second occasion because the indictments were thrown out of court on the ground that they.were defective. TO ALLOW SOME ADVANCES Commission Will 'Not Suspend All Freight Rate Raises. Washington, July 15.—The inter- state commerce ' commission an- nounced its intention to suspend -all tariffs naming general and important rate advances, pending an investiga- tion as to the reasonableness of the proposed increases. “No more definite statement in this regard can be made now,” says the commission, “but the specific orders will be announced from time, to time as they are entered and served. It is expected the suspension in each case will be for 120 days from the effective date named in thetariff, but the com- mission intends by subsequent orders to provide for making effective on the same day such advances as may be allowed.” The commission will suspend rate advances only in such instances of the filing of tariffs as might indicate that such action was' desirable on the grounds -of public policy.

An inter ug old organization which formerly existed in London—the Dilet- tante society—originated with certain gentlemen who, having traveled in It- aly, tried to encourage at home what they bad enjoyed abroad. This society of lovers of the fine arts lasted 130 years. Walpole does not seem to have looked upon it with a very favorable eye, for he says, “The nominal qualifi- cation was to have been to Italy; the real one was being drunk. Special Watch Think of it!
