Bpeclal to-The Inquirer. '-« SCRANTON, Pa., Aug. 2 . - H o m e life and the conditions of employment in the anthracite region were viewed first hand today by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. Reaching the city from the Delaware Water Gap at 11 o'clock, "The

'Greatest Citizen" paused for less than half an hour at a hotel here and then he was off for a tour of the mining towns that lie in the Lackawanna Val­ley between Scranton and Carbondale.

He returned a little before 0 o'clock, removed his dusty garments, slipped into his evening clothes and an hour later was- on the way to the residence of .Bishop M. J. Hobari, on Wyoming ave-

fnue, where he shared honors with John {Mitchell at a dinner tonight. It was

/ / a busy day for the distinguished visitor (and he enjoyed it thoroughly, / The main object of Colonel Roose­v e l t ^ trip to the mining towns was to ) acquaint himself with the conditions /described by Florence Lucas Sanville, 'executive secretary of the Consumer*' > League, of Philadelphia, and her co-' worker, Fannie Cochran. They accom­panied him in a large touring car. Sev­eral months ago these young women came into the^cpal region as toiler*-in search of emftfbyment.

At any rate, the party lingered with Mrs. Ely for nearly an hour and her former boarders, bade her a friendly good-bye. The wom­an's surprise amused Roosevelt great-

Continuing to Olyphant, the Colonel called on Rev. P. J. Murphy, a militant spriest, who has figured in numerous con­troversies and crusades against un­scrupulous liquor sellers. Then he pick­ed up Superintendent M. W. dimming*, of the Olyphant Schools, and proceeded with him to Jessup. The young wom­en were left in Olyphant. In Jessup Colonel Roosevelt and Superintendent Cummings visited the Bliss Silk Mill, Spending an hour watching the opera*

. tors at their work and inspecting the sanitary conditions. Except for a casual

.remark that the conditions were fairly good, the Colonel said nothing to, indi-cate his opinion.

made in Dickson City. The tourist se­lected a typical miner's home and, jump­ing from the automobile, pushed open a rickety gats and knocked at the front door. Joseph Cavanaugh is master of the premises and he had just returned

Unknown London Friend of Ac­

cused Offers to Provide a Law­

yer to Defend Him i -

Special to Tbe Inquirer. QUEBEC, Que., Aug* 2.—Today, was

full of important developments in the Crippen case. It saw the breaking down of Ethel Claire Leneve's reserve, her full statement to Inspector Dew of-all she knows In connection with the crime and the announcement, not authenticated by any official, but coming nevertheless from official sources, that Dr. Crippen admitted having "killed the woman."

Inspector Daw, at the conclusion of a lengthy interview with Miss Leneve, said he was qinte satisfied that she had no guilty knowledge of the murder. "She i* simply a foolish girl," he stated, "who has been led away by Crippen, and who I am convinced not only knew nothing about the murder at the time it o c curred, but was in no way concerned with it anil did not know when she left England with Crippen that Belle Elmore was dead. She is as trus as steel to Crippen and is doing her best to shield him in every* way. She has repeatedly told me that she believes he is innocent, but we know better."

Ta lk* W i t h Cr ippen Inspector Dew visited Crippen in his

cell this morning and had a long con­versation with him. The guards were ordered back out of earshot, and it is not known precisely what passed between the two, but it was admitted at the close that the inspector had informed Crippen of the facts Miss l eneve had laid before him so far as she knew and had endeavored to secure from him either corroboration or.ydenial. In this he was absolutely unsuccessful. • -

Sitting nonchalantly in his call, hi* l»tffd&»ty*M& his head sunk on'nW bres^t.Orippen cither gave-evasinve/mona-sy'Uabic answers or laid nothing at all. The man'* attitude is puzzlinjr. every official connected with the case. He not only appears absolutely at his ease, but even contrives to get some sardonic pleasure out of his humiliating position. The sickly sentimentality of several fool­ish gir|s and the curiously lax prison regulation had resulted in the ordinary wooden banch on which prisoners sleep being replaced by an iron cot and mat­tress, ami in the sending to him of a number of bouquets of costly flowers which fill his dingy apartments with their fragrance. \

Moreover, he has been supplied with scores of the latest magazines and novels. He eats heartily, selecting his own meals, peruses a Bible at random, stroke* his scanty hair and quizzes his guards. He slept fairly well last night and on aris­ing this momirtR noticed one of the guards peering into his cell.

"Hello, you," said he, cheerily, "glad you are still there. Misery loves com­panion, don't you know?" Along these lines he passed the day. He appears to be beyond tho .reach of emotional influ-ence, ai>l though Inspector Dew is still convinced that the man is guilty of the murder, ho realize* that Crippen means to make a great fight for his life and is fully a* confident that he will escape conviction as Scotland Yard is that he wfll be hanged.

D o e s Not I n c r i m i n a t e Crippctn Mis* Leneve, it may1 be pointed out in

this connection, has said nothing to In­spector Dew which can in tho least de­gree incriminate Dr. Crippen., STie has informed the inspector of various state­ments Dr. Crippen made t<o her, and ha* told him a simple, straightforward story, the main facts ot which he imme­diately communicated to Scotland Yard with the object of having them verified.

WOMAN SAYS SHE ' HEARD AN OUTCRY

Firm in the belief that his sister, Miss Catherine Cloughsssy, whose body was fdund on the lawn of William W> Justice's residence, oppoisite, the Man-heim Cricket Club, Qermantown, on Saturday last, was murdered,. a n ; opin­ion prtviously expressed by Coroner Ford.

**I am (btermincd to discover my sister's murderer," said Cloughessy.

"I willy do all I can to aid the detec­tives, but I am not going. to stop at that. I 'am going to do some investigate ing myself. I believe that my sister waa followed by a man, who attacked he* in the dark as she was passing the Jus* tice place."

A theory was advanced yesterday that the woman, who was employed as a maid by Ml7>and Mrs. Charles Day, of 00211

Schuyler avenue, Qermantown, may have been attacked at some other spot and her body carried to the Justice place, where i t was fton* oyer a three-foot, hedgerow upon the; lawn.

TOPEKA, Kanv Aug. 2.--With a fair­ly heavy vote, the Kansas primaries, the culmination of a hot campaign fought on issues of almost entirely a national na­ture, were held today. The returns are slow in coming in, but when qompleted they will furnish probably the first real test of insurgent strength in the West.

Candidates were nominated for Con­gress and for State offices. In six of the eight Congressional districts regulas Republicans asked renomination. Nix' men of the so-called "Progressive" ele­ment of the Republican Party opposed them. •••;

In the other two districts Victor Mur-dock and E. H. Madison and leaders in that wing, had no opposition in their own party. Their only opponents were Socialists,, and the insurgents were sure of renomination.

The insurgents say Scott, Miller and Calderbead, "stand-pat", candidates in the Second, Fourth and Fifth districts, have been defeated, and that there is a probability that Anthony in the First and Campbell- in the Third have been beaten. The regulars do not concede that any of their members have been defeated, although they admit that Mil­ler, and Calderhead are in danger.

In the Second district a woman, Mrs. Kate B. O'Hare, of Kansas City, sought the nomination for Congress on the So­cialist ticket. The result is as .yet uncertain.

The contest for Governor in the Re­publican Party also was a clearly de­fined fight between Progressive and reg­ular, Governor W. R, Stubbs seeking re­nomination as an avowed insurgent against Thomas Wagstaff, of Independ­ence, who had the backing of the stand­patters. Outside of' the contest for Gov-

The police, who captured one of the men, are confident that the shooting was the result of a deliberate plot^ and waa ' not an accident, as it appeared on the surface. Their theory is borne Out by a number of persons who witnessed the affair, all of whom say that the two men, instead of firing at one another, pointed their revolvers toward Cuneo's door­way, where he was sitting.

The prisoner is Ernest Volpinista, 8 4 ' years old, of 8*0 Chirstian street. Since his arrest be has persistently refused to make a statement. The other man, who escaped, alter being hotly pursued by an excited crowd, is supposed to be Sal-vatore Marino, address unknown. \ • <

Shot o n Own D o o r s t e p Cuneo was sitting in the doorway of

his home shortly after six o'clock last evening when the two men stopped o h the street directly in front of him and'

| drew revolvers. They paced off a dis­tance of abouJUwenty feet and began to fire. T ^ ,

As i^e shots rang ott^ in the crowded thoroughfare there w^s a scatterinjr of. the neighbors, who fled in a panic. Tho men each tired a shot in tbe air, accoid-ing to spectator*, and appeared to be taking care not to injure* one another. « Then, it is said, both men deliberately swung their revolvers around and pointed directly aHne^loorway where Cw9|%aL

Four shots were, fired at the doorVtwo of them taking effect. One entered, Cu­neo's arm and another penetrated hi* stomach, inflicting a dangerous wound. As soon as Cuneo was seen to drop from hi*»chair the men ceased firing and be­gan to run down the street.

importer's son, Frank Cuneo, Jr., ran to the door, just in time to see his father fall from his chair. Immediately suspecting a plot, he called to others in the house and informed the neighbors t o catch the fleeing men.

Jt crowd swarmed out upon the street and seized Volpinista. He was dragged about by the mob and there was a n a t -terapt made to lynch him. His clothing was torn off and he was badly beaten before the police arrived. A riot call had been sent to the Seventh and Carpenter" streets station and a dstail of policemen were soon on the scene. They drove the crowd away from Yolpinista ahd took him to the station house, afterwards turning hjra over, to the police of the becond and Christian streets station.

Meanwhile, the other man, supposed to be Marino, ran down the street with the throng in pursuit. He fired his re-* volver at the crowd, keeping his pm> suers at a distance, and disappeared. The police sent out a dozen special men in civilian*' clothes to capture him.

L i t t l e Okanoo for R e o o v e r r Cuneo's son pressed a wagon into serv­
