PHILADELPHIA, Sept 23 - Late to-
night, Miss Verhoef, in speaking of her
interview with Lieutenant Peary this after
noon, said:
"Our interview was very unsatisfactory,
and have no hesitation in saying so. 1t
only confirmed my belief that my brother is
alive. MI. Peary could give no explanation
of the strange fact that young and
unusually vigorous man, with an edu cation
that fitted him in every respect for such an
adventure, should have been left behind

pediton proper began. He said he did not
know my brother thoroughly or he would
have taken him along. This said L

held that nv brother was dead, but after
ward admitted that, after ALL he might be
alive. OF course he is alive, and
Lieutenant Peary and the rest of
the party think so, too. Should
they otherwise have left IS months

hold that he was contemptlbly used. He

expedition, after having trained himself for
it for years. And when the expedition

Verhoeff's actions from the time the party
reached Greenland were described as pecu-
liar and as pointing to an intention to stay
and live with the Eskimos. 1t is said that
he continually wore American trousers and
the thinnest kind of clothing, and that
almost every day he would go in the water
naked where holes had been cut in the ice.

went around with his shoes torn and his bare
feet touching the ground. These facts,
taken in connection with his mysterious
feeIers put out during the winter as to
the probability of Lieutenant Peary let

Peary party and others of the crew Of the
Kite who knew Verhoeff to the conclusion
that he may have taken a notion to stay
with the Eskimos in hope of making a
journey to the farthest northern point vet
and so win fame.
In speaking OF the fate of Verhoeff, Lieu
tenant Peary said he had no right to in
dulge in surmises, but he gave the impress

HARRISBURG, Sept. 23.--[ Special +
Many requests are being made for copies of
the revised form of the official ballot and
the specimen ballot to be used under the
operations of the Baker ballot reform law.
An idea evidently prevails among many
persons who have not seen the revised form
of ballot that stickers can be used on the
ballot to paste over any name printed
thereon. This is wrong. None Of the
officially printed names can be erased,
crossed out or pasted over.
Stickers may be used, but they can be
legally placed only in the blank spaces in
the fourth column of the ballot left for that
purpose, and not over another name. In
these blank spaces the voter may insert any
name he pieases, either by means Of
sticker, by writing, or by stamping.
