CRIPPEN MOT ARRESTED
Scotland Yard Not Sure of Capt
ure on the Montrose.
London. July 35. — No word has been re
ceived to-night from the steamer Montrose.
on which are two passengers, booked as
the Rev John Robinson and John Robin
son, jr., who the Scotland Yard officials
believe may be the missing Dr. liawley H.
Crippen and Ethel L«eneve. The wireless
telegraph system on the Montrose has a
working radius of only 150 miles.
The only development in the case is
that Superintendent Froest of Scotland
Yard has placed all the known facts in the
affair in the hands of the Public Prose-;
cutor to enable him to prepare a case in [
the event of Crippen'e arrest.
Scotland Yard says that Dr. Crippen has
not been arrested and Miss Leneve has not
confessed, according to any advices re
ceived by officials here. i
No word has been received from the
steamer Montrose, on board which are the
two suspected passengers.
Superintendent Froest said to-day that
the messages which Captain Kendall of
the Montrose. had received from Scotland
Yard would not justify him in placing the
passengers under arrest. No further news
is expected here until the steamer reaches
Rimouski. Canada, whither Inspector Dew
is going on the steamer Laurentic
The superintendent said that when he re
ceived the wireless message from Captain
Kendall of the Montrose. giving the mas
ter's belief that he had Dr. Crippen and
Miss Leneve on board, he replied with a
message in which he gave the captain the
latest description of the man and woman
wanted.
■'"aptain Ker.dai: said in a second mes
sage that be was confirmed in his original
belief that the man known on board the
ship as the Rev. John Robinson w:is really
Dr. Crippen F.nd that his companion who
wap travelling as John Robinson. Jr was
HfSB L<eneve
Since these exchanges between Scotland
Yard and Captain Kendall not a word has
come to the police from the steamer, said
Superintendent Frowst, who added that
nothing sent by Scotland Yard to Captain
Kendall would justify the latter in tak
ing any action against the suspected pas
sengers.

NEW-YORK DAILT TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY. JULY 27. 1910.
GARBAGE MEN IN GRAF!
Queens Borough Has Complai
of a New Extortion.
LITTLE THING BUT ANNOYING
Returns to Drivers, However,
Large in the Aggregate
vestigation Promised.
The cry of graft is again heard from the
| Borough of Queens. 1 This time complaint Is
.made n£ an agency lower down in the
| scale than that of former charges, but the
■ system of extortion is none the less potent
and it has been yielding good returns, ac
cording to the persons who have been com
pelled to contribute.
The branch of the Queens Borough gov
ernment which employs the men who this
time figure in the charges of graft is the
Street Cleaning Department. The com
plaint comes to The Tribune from hotel
proprietors, boarding house keepers and
cottagers in one street in Hammel. Long
Island, that they can receive no service
from the men who remove the garbage
and rubbish unless they submit to the
extortionate demands of the latter.
These complaints were called to the at
tention of Superintendent Arrow C. \Han
kins, of the Queens Street Cleaning De
partment yesterday, and he said he would
begin an immediate investigation. Until
he has finished this investigation it will
be impossible to say whether only those
living- in the street whence the protest
comes or the entire summer colony have
been held up.
Profitable for the Grafters.
While the graft that is alleged to have
been practised is petty in character, the
number of those who have been victimized
is great enough to have made it v profitable
for those who benefited by it. and despite
its pettiness it has proved annoying to
those who have paid. There are at least
two men involved in the charges, a driver
and a helper on one of the wagons of the
department. Just how much these two
men have succeeded in collecting may be
only surmised, but it surely has been suf
ficient to make their wages of little con
sequence to them.
There is nothing roundabout in the al
leged operation of these men. There is no
go-between. They make the demands
themselves, they do their own collecting
and they work with an almost appalling
openness. The men are assigned to a
large, double truck of the department.
One remains on the wagon while the other
is on the ground. The latter does the
"shaking down," but the partner has a say
about the acceptance or refusal of The
blood money. He drives the wagon up to a
house. The man on the ground looks over
the barrels to be emptied and then looks
up the manager, housekeeper or occupant
of the house, as the ca3e may be.
How the Trick Is Played.
His usual salutation is:
"See here, boss, you got this garbage and
rubbish all mixed up. You'll have to come
up if you want us to take it away."
The victim always comes up, which in
the mind of the emprtrr^i of th« Street
Clear-ing .Department justifies him in
violating the rule regarding the mixing of
garbage and rubbish or ashes in one barrel.
But the victim can violate this regulation
only on submitting to extortion. Some
times the violation is only slight, but if
there is any at all the alleged grafters find
it by digging through the barrels.
The amount of graft varies in proportion
to the enormity of the offence, from 10
cents to a quarter. But figuring thirty
houses to a block, and few are exempt, it
nets the alleged grafters r fine daily in
come. Of course, It takes the men much
longer to get through with their work be
cause of the negotiations than it other
wise would.
The person who vouches for the accuracy
of On details here given witnessed last
Saturday at Harare?! about as brazen a
hold-up by 3 city employe as has ever been
practised. The victim was the housekeeper
oi a cottage. The man on the ground had
tossed a barrel up to his partner on the
W3?0 n On the top was a. quantity of
par"=r at the bottom was some ashes.
Gruffly the financier of the pair approached
the housekeeper.
Woman In the Clutch-;.
• See hers," hr - shouted. 'fws can't take
this!"
~ ■ not"' a=ksd th«- woman
on the ground.
: All this time both men stood !sie, the
I man on the wagon watching for what he
knew was waxing The barrel was half
empty. The housekeeper was one of those
j ■women who don't carry their pocketbooks
in their hands, and after seme difficulty
she produced hers. She abstracted a nickel
i frorri the purse and tendered it to the ex
; pectant Street Cleaning Department man.
i He held up the coin Cor his partner to see
! Then they, both laughed scornfully.
"Your: have to come across with another
I nickel. 1 "said the man with the coin. The
: woman replied that she did not have Buy
more change.
"■p-jt i- a' 1 back in the barrel '" shouted
the senior partner and the junior partner
oni the wagon hastened to stuff the barrel
fall again from the contents of the wagon.
"I will give you the other nickel to-mor
row promised the woman.
"Somebody else will be around to-moN
row?" explained the senior partner.
After scurrying around the housekeeper
produced the ■second nickel and the bar-el
was emptied, notwithstanding the alleged
violation of the regulation regarding mixing:.
Turn of a Hotelkeeper.
Next to the cottage where this incident
took place is a hotel. The wagon stopped
there. ' The man on the ground discovered
some potato peols in the same barrel with
=orr.e paper. He looked up "the boss." He
made his demand, and this time he received
his graft without parley and the barrel
warn ;uickly emptied.
When the freebooters had gone the pro
prietor of the hotel said:
•'This is the worst case of graft I he>re
ever seen. But we have to submit to it, I
suppose, 'unless we do they will just leave
those barrels here, and I have not the tim.;
to go to the superintendent to complain.
butiit Might to be stopped."
Superintendent Hankins of the Bureau or
Street Cleaning in Queens said:
"It is the duty of citizens when demand
is made upon them by employes of the city
for money for tolas what they are paid by
the city to do, to turn these employes over
t-j the police. I cannot control every wa*rnn
driver a my department. But citizens ca
help me greatly If they will be careful to
have witnesses at hand who can hear the>*
demands made and then have the guilty
employes arrested. . A difficulty that I have
to contend with here is that I cant get
angels to drive garbage carts."

MERRITT AND BRUCE CONFER
Legislative Graft Hunters to Be
gin Work Tuesday.
When the legislative graft hunters meet
at the Murray Hill Hotel, next week Tues
day, a plan of procedure for the commit
tee will oe adopted, announcement made of
the assistant counsel and other employes of
the investigators, and the date set for the
beginning of the public sessions of th<" in
vestigation. That much was settled yes
terday at conferences between Assembly
man Edwin A. Merritt, jr.. chairman of
the committee, and M. Linn Bruce, coun
sel.
It has been decided to take up first the
leads developed by the AIMs-Conger in
vestigation by the Senate; next, the mat
ters brought out by Superintendent Hotch
kiss of the State Insurance Department
which seem to require further investiga
tion, and after that the general insurance
probe proposed by the resolution creating
the committee for all but life insnrance
companies.
Mr. Bruco wouid not discuss yesterday
the probable appointees as assistant coun
sel for the committee. It is known that
many rames have been suggested for the
places and that several men are active
candidates. The lawyer said that he and
Assemblyman Merritt were much pleased
to find that their views regarding the con
duce of the investigation accorded with
those of Governor Hughes, when they
called on him last night at the Hotel As
tor.
"We talked with the Governor for a
couple of hours," said Mr. Bruce, 'and we
got many valuable suggestions from him.
We did not map out our procedure then,
and that will not be done until the meeting
of the committee next week."
At the Murray Hill Hotel, the headquar
ters of the committee, yesterday were Rep
resentative George R. Malby, of St. Law
rence County; Merton Lewis, of Rochester,
former Senator, and Louis Bedell, of Or
ange County, former Assemblyman. Rep
resentative Malby was reported during the
legislative session to have had an impor
tant part in drafting the resolution under
which the committee will ■work.
Mr. Bedell, who was assistant counsel
for the Cassidy committee which investi
gated New York City's finances, has been
mentioned as a possible assistant counsel
for this committee.
DEMY ANTJ-MADRIZ NEWS
Envoys Call Dispatches Inven
tions to Hurt Their Mission.
Dr. Modesto Barrios and Dr. Sebastian
Salinas, the commissioners from the Madrlz
government in Nicaragua, who arrived
here on Monday to sound the American
government on its ideas regarding the
terms on which peace may be restored in
the republic, said yesterday that they be
lieved the day's news from Nicaragua
v.-as "invented" to cause the failure of
their mission to Washington.
One cable message had It that San Juan
del Sur, a Madriz stronghold, was menaced
by insurrectionists and another dispatch
told of the growing bitterness of the
Nicaraguan press and public toward the
United States. The envoys discounted both
these reports.
The commissioners received a cable dis
patch from home as a sort of offset to the
reports of two Estrada victories. This
message said that five hundred revolution
ists attacked Comalapa. but were defeated
by the Madriz forces.
Dr. Salinas yesterday estimated at 55,
000.000 the damage that has been done to
property by the insurrection. He added:
"However, the government will be redy
at the proper time to pay the Emery claim
acknowledged by the Nicaraguan govern
ment and whose payment, mounting to
$600,000, was arranged through the Ameri
can government- We also will recognize
and pay all Jair claims of foreigners and
natives for damages suffered hi the present
war."
