THE National Academy of Sciences of
Philadelphia is planning another expedi-
ton to the north coast of Greenland, and
has asked Lieutenant Peary to again head
the party. The only obstacle, it is said,
in the way of carrying out the project Is
in securing another leave of absence for
this leader, who holds commission as
civil engineer in the navy, but it is declared
that Mr.. Peary will resign this commission
if he is not able to secure the desired leave
of absence, so anxious is he to return to
the north and finish the work he began
there. II is the desire of the National
Academy to have a thorough investigation
OF the whole northern coast of Greenland,
and to plant the Stars and Stripes on its Ill
innate northern point whether that point
be the pole, or something short OF it.
Long ISLAND CITY was in fever of ex-
element Saturday through the bombshell
Mayor Gleason threw into the political
camp this morning. The city, which had
accepted the recent election returns as final,
Gleason's defeat for reelection as mayor
settled, and Sandford's triumph over him
complete, now finds its calculations over
thrown. City Clerk Burke, who is a Glea-
son appointee, sent in the official returns to
the county clerk this morning, showing that
Mayor Gleason had been reelected. The
majority according to these figures is 732 for
Gleason. City Clerk Burke issued a certif-
cate of election to Gleason; and the fighting
mayor has gone to the county clerks office
in Jamaica to be sworn in. The supreme
court will be appealed TO to prevent Mayor
Gleason from taking office. 1t is understood
that Gleason claims the office on the ground
that nearly thousand defective ballots
We're cast for his opponent, Sanford.
JOHN HoEY. ex-president of the Adams
Express Company, died at his residence in
New York city, on November IA. Mr..
Hoey was born in Ireland in 1925, and was
the oldest of three children. His parents
were of the poorer class, and the son was
early cast upon the world to earn living.
His first efforts were in Dublin. After a
year of hardship in the Emerald metropolis,
he shipped for America and landed in New
York penniless and unknown. His first
money in this country was made selling
newspapers, and he had gradually climbed
by industry, capable management and sterl-
ing integrity, into the ranks of American
magnates. He was elected president of the
Adams Express Company in 1888, but
trouble arose in 1891, and he resigned. His
death resulted after nearly years illness.
He leaves an estate of several million dol
lars, to be divided between his widow and
four children.
