CHICAGO, June 23.-At a meeting OF
the directors of the Social Democracy
Of America last night the following of,
fcers were elected: E. v. Debs, chair
man; Sylvester Koliher, secretary;
James Hogan, vice president; William
E. Burns, general organizer. The di-
rectors who chose these officers, and
were themselves elected at the meeting
in the afternoon, are: E. v. Debs, Syl-
vester Koliher, James Hogan, William
E. Burns and Leroy Goodwin. The
salary of the officers was placed at 800
per month.
At the afternoon meeting the con-
stitution of the social democracy,
which had been published, was form

explained at length the aims and pur.
poses of the cooperative common
wealth. A colony should be sent to

After establishing the colony he would

do after getting CONTROL" he said,
''would be to call a special session OF
the Legislature Then we would call q

place. Gov. Bushnell and other state
officers wanted Chairman Charles L.
Kurtz. The contendinR factions car
ried their claims into the meetings Of
the delegates by congressional dis
triots and Mr.. Hanna won by more
than two to one. He controlled the
district meetings and the convention
more firmly than the st. Louis conven-

LONDON, June 21.-According to the
programme mapped out by Prof. An
dree, the arctic balloonist, at the time
he left Gothenburg for SpitZbergen in
the latter part of May, he will some
time during the coming week launch
his airship upon the perilous voyage
to the north pole. A number of carrier
pigeons were taken by the party from
Gothenburg, and the return of one of
the birds with a message from the
party is looked for daily. Prof. Andree
is accompanied by Messrs. Strinberg,
Swendenberg and Twenke. According
to the opinions of many who have par
ticipated in previous polar expeditions
the present venture is the most reckless
and perilous ever undertaken, and 1t is
generally considered that nothing but
the merest accident can bear the party
to the pole and back in safety. Circu-
lars have been issued by the Russian
government to the inhabitants of
northern Siberia, and have also been
distributed among the people of Alaska
and other northern regions, directing
them to extend all possible assistance
to the explorers in case they should
land among them. Even granting that
the winds are favorable, it is stated
shat it will be impossible to take ac-
curate observations from the balloon,
and, therefore, impossible to ascertain
the exact location of the pole.
They Must Pay for Liquor.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 22.-Some
time ago local brewing firm shipped
two carloads of beer to Samuel Bro
becker, at Leavenworth, Kan. There
was dispute over the account and the
Kansas man refused to pay, holding
that the brewer had violated the pro-
hibition laws of Kansas. The mat
ter found it's way into the jack
son county circuit court and in
decision Saturday Judge Gates hand
ed down an opinion, allowing
the brewer $71s. Judge Gates con-
tended that, although the brewer
might have violated the Kansas laws,
yet Bobrecker was equally guilty in
that he had received the beer knowing
the manufacturers violation of the
law, and consequently the debt was
just one and should be paid.
