Beverly Mass. Aug. 2. Senator

Balllnger in Minneapolis yesterday and
acting on the initiative of republican
leaders with the tacit acquiescence of
Taft he suggested that Balllnger ten-
der his resignation before October 1.

Great pressure has been brought to
bear on Taft to hint for the resigna-

dict exonerating Balllnger and then

Within halt a dozen years according to a number of leading banker ol
Sew Tork the sut-ibau electric lines that are being built throughout the
United States will give away to the mouorail system. H. H. Tunis has been
busy building the monorails lu and around New York. They have been tried
and the success of Germany duplicated. Owing to the fact that the monorail
Is less expensive to build and the fact that much higher rate of speed caa be
secured than either by steam or electric trains the backers aeciare tney will
supplement the present method of transportation and that soon. According
to the New York bankers' plans no stock is to be sold to the public. How-
ever a number of wildcat companies have been trying to organize and dispose
of stock. The Tunis company is a close corporation. ....
BATTLE OF BALLOTS
-VOTING IS HEAVY
Primary elections In the city and
throughout the state are in progress
the democrats republicans and social-
ists nominating county and state candidates.-
Returns from the cities will begin to
come In soon -after the polls close as
the ballots are counted during the day.
Reports from the country precincts
will come in more slowly.
The Express expects to receive com-
plete returns from Grady county to-
night and all these should be in by 11
o"clork. It is doubtful if sufficient re-
turns c4i be secured from the state at
large to definitely determine the re-
sult tonight. The bulletins will indi-
cate however the general trend of the
election.
In Chlckasha voting began early and
continued in a steady stream through-
out the day. The indications are that
it will be the heaviest vote ever polled
in Grady county.
Supporters of Cruce Murray and
Ross respectively are confident that
they have carried the county but the
conservative ones all admit that the
situation is mixed and uncertain. The
sheriff's race which is the hottest
one on the county ticket is admitted
to be close.
No desiurbance of any kind on the
streets or around the polling places
had been reported up to 3 o'clock and
everything indicated that the election
would pass off in an orderly manner.
Predicts Big Vote.
Will Linn secretary of -the state
election board who came home from
Oklahoma City today to vote predicts
that the primary vote will - be the
largest ever recorded In the state
"I had counted on from 133000 to
140000 democratic votes in the state
but. now I think it will reach lR500O
to 175000" said he. "1 sent out 242-
000 democratic ballots and before noon
today calls for more came from Potta-
watomie Pawnee Tillman Stephens
Bryan and l.ove counties."-'

Quebec Aug. 2. That Ethel Claire
Leneve will be the chief witness for
the crown against Crippen is the con-
viction of those watching recent developments.
The police are using every method
to have the girl break down and ui
the story. "The third degree" method
Is tabooed kindness being used. Miss
Leneve is being treated' as a. guest at
the home of Poll- Chief McCarthy.
Crippen is in a t ell and no one Is al
lowed to see him.
Jliss Leneve has a room to herself
practically free from survellance
though she could not escape. The
considerate treatment of the police has
made a deep Imprwsion on her. It
would not be surprising to see her
take the stand against Crippen In Lon-
don at he inquest trial.
Quebec Aug. 2. Probably not be
fore August 18 w.'U Dr. Hawley H.
Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneve be
taken aboard a trans-Atlantic liner
bound for England there to stand trial
jointly accused of murdering a woman
believed to have been Belle Elmore.
The criminal law of the British posses-
sions established this when the hag
gard dentist whose flight ended so
dramtlcally aboard the steamer Mont
rose yesterday morning was arraigned
before a magistrate and remanded un-
til August 8. The girl wes too ill to
appear but If her condition improves
she may be brought Into court at
once.
Crippen will not fight extradition. Of
the girl's attitude less Is known. She
js still broken in body and spirit alter
nately shaken sobs of slient remorse.
Her relatives In London -are beseech
ing her to tell ail. ' -
Forped through a curious crowd.
Crippen was taken before the provin-
cial court of special sessions where he
was formally questioned as to his
Idenity and notified that h was un-
der arrest for the murder of an un
known- woman. Remanding him to
August 8 was purely perfunctory as he
and his companion under the fugitive
offender's act must remain here at
least fifteen daysv On the 8th he like-
ly will be remanded again until the
15th and the first available vessel for
England will not depart until three
days later. By that time another de
tective from Scotland Yard will have
srrived bringing a formal application
for extradition although this applica-
tion probably will not be necessary in
view of the accused man's declaration
that he will raise no obstacle to check
his return.
Although Crippen was the center of
attraction wh?n arraigned perhaps
the most Interesting development of
the day was the extremely liberal treat.
ment of Miss Leneve b; the police.
Like Cripien she is accused of mur-
der but the girl was eeea enjoying
the freedom of the house of Chief of
Police McCarthy. When taken from
Jail it was announced that she had
because of her weak condition- been
taken to a hospital but this proved to
be Incorrect. She is back in jail this
afternoon under the care of a physic-
ian but vistors or the chief's house say
they had a glimpse of her Walking
about the yard for a breath of air un-
der careful but unobstruclive urveil
ance.
Many persons believe the police are
so markedly lenient with Miss Leneve
not only because they pity her plight
but also because they believe she is
Crippen's dupe and that she mat turn
against him on the witnessi stand.
This is the course her relatives la Lon-
don are nrging her to take as several
cablegrams received today made ap-
parent. Crippen occupies a cell In the
provincial Jail on the heights east of
the city overlooking the St. Lawrence
river. He is not in chains and for sev-
earl hours today he was permitted to
exercise in the corridor.
