A LETTER FROM
ANDREE'S BROTHER
Expresses Confidence in the
Aeronaut'S Safety.
AERIALIsT'S WHEREABOUTS
Last of the Arctic Explorers Buoys
Found on the North Coast of :
Iceland and Another on
King Charlesland

Mobile, Ala, October 26.-Evlyn b. Bald
win, the Arctic explorer and observer in
the United States weather bureau, has been
assigned to duty ait this stallion, and ar
rived here yesterday from Washington.
Today ne received a letter from Captain
Ernest And-ee, of Sweden, brother of the
polar aeronaut, and gave to the Associated
Press the following extract, expressive of
Andrees confidence in his br6Jler's safety
and his conjectures aus to his brothers
Whereahouts:
MY opinion is tht If my brother had
landed anywhere between Sc or SO degrees
ncllJh, and 10 or so degrees west, and $50
degrees west Greenwich meridian) we
would have heard from MIN. But not lav
ing heard directly from him as to his hav
ing landed. L 'd.1nk he must have come
down to the west of 1870 degrees and be-
tween 50 and 81 degrees north from 50 de-
grees nordn and $50 degrees II is about
$50 miles to the nearest known land, 10

miles a day, 1T would take him two years

With Civilization. My brcIdler several times
expressed his wish to examine The extreme
north of the Parry islands
1.-THE last one of my brothers buoys was
found on the north coast of Iceland, and
but lately another buoy was found on the
north coast of King Charlesland, east of
Spitzborgen. He had with him twelve buoys,
eleven smaller ones and large one, the
latter to be thrown out when the balloon
was as far north as the expedition expected
to reach.
IF the expedition reached 81 or So degrees
north and so or100 degrees east and then
got northerly wind, 1t is most likely they
would have thrown the buoy, not expecting
to go any more to the north. But the wind
might have changed in few hours again
to the south or southwest and thus have
carried the balloon to 81 or Sc degrees north
and so degrees west or $50 degrees.
Here they may have landed in an unex-
plored region previous to reaching which
they may have sailed backward and for
ward several times. Remember that the

II do not put the least faith in any of
the many reports, with the exception, of
course, of the pigeon message and the two
buoys.''

SELMA
Louisville & Nashville Direct Line from
Pensacola Probable

Selma, October 26.-(speciaL)- chance
for a substantial move forward for Selma
in an Industrial sense was never brighter
than today, and there has taken possession
of the citizens of this place a greater hope
for the future of their town than ever be-
fore, all because of the apparent certainty
that the Louisville and Nashville railroad
will come directly into Selma from Pen
sacola. This fact is not counted as a GER
tairty because of the repeated examina-
tions made of the bridge across the river
here and the soundings of the river as to
the probable cost of erecting entirely
new bridge. To get at the exact cost of a
structure, fiat boat, equipped with appli-
ances to take the soundings and ascertain
tie depth that would have to be dug to
get suitable foundations, is on its way from
Montgomery. corps of about twenty men
are on the boat, and they will probably
get to work tomorrow.
Once the Louisville and Nashville builds
a substantial Fridge here, which is located
by rumor at the site of the old Franklin
warehouse, about a half-mile above the
present structure, Selma's future is as
cured, for it will mean the building of old
Eahaba Valley railroad by the Louisville
End Nashville to Blocton, giving that sys-
Gem practical double track from the min
eral regions around Birmingham to the two
principal gulf ports, Mobile and Pensacola

treat-a delightful and lively comedy, with
out a single Objectionable word or scene

all that a comedian should be. He kept
the audience in delightful frame of mind
and Miss Mildred st. Pierre as Betty Fond
acre was we'll up to him. The two carried
the bright play along in fine STYLE The
other members of the company-well, the
less said about them the better. But two
good players and a bright little comedy in

successors to those who first produced the

costumdng and soerfc effects.
The leading roe, Tat of Wang the re-
gent of Siam, IS ess3yed by Albert Hart.
So far as proportions are concerned, lie

consider him the superior of his pTede-

Night Owls is an attraction thoroughly

Klimt-Hearn Company

The following review Is from the Little
Rock (Ark) Democrat regarding the Klimt-
Hearn company, which opens weeks en-
gagement at the auditorium next Monday
night in Held by the Enemy"
Another mammoth audience greeted the
Klmt-Hearn favorites last night at the
Capital in that delightful old drama, The
Silver King Their finished production lost
nothing by reason of comparison with the
great successes won by Frank Bangs, who
created the role. 1t was all that the most
exacting could desire. Klimt as Wilfred
Denver, the Silver King gave a most ex-
cellent chara cterization, marked by dra-
matte strength and intensity. He showed
himself to be a close student of the part,
and his careful portrayal of the varying
emotions of dissipation, remorse, fear, re-
venge, love and exultation demonstrated
his great histrionic ability. It was the
strongest drama tic role he had essayed this
week, and he was fully equal to its re-
quirements. Harry Coffin was the Spider,
and did 1t we'll, although his friends dis
liked to see the handsome tmpersonator Of
heroes in the role of a villain. Cora Earn
est fully sustained her popularity as Nellie
Denver, the faithful wife, and the rest of
the cast was we'll balanced. and the few
possible weaknesses were amply compen-
stated for by the conscientious EFFORT to

ARBITRATION COMMISSION
Sir Richard Webster Objects to the Ven
ezuelan Documents

Paris June 29.-The Venezuelan arbitra-
ton commission was again in session to-
day, and the leading counsel for Great
Britain, Sir Richard Webster, the British
encouragement continued his presenta-
ton of his side of the case
Directing to certain abstracts of docu-
ments introduced by Venezuela, Sir Rich
ard Webster remarked that the entire docu-
ments should be presented to the court if
any reliance was to be placed upon the por-
lions submitted.
Benjamin Harrison, on behalf of Venezu-
ella, demurred to this contention on the
ground that the time for filing documents
had passed.
Baron Russell of Killowen, one of the ar
bitrators, remarked that the tribunal could
scarcely rely upon half a document when
it was asserted that the whole bore diff
ferent meaning. 1t was finally decided that
copies of the documents should first be SUBJ
mitted to the counsel for Venezuela Mr..
Harrison intimated that he had thought
that argument would be heard before this
opportunity was afforded. The commission
subsequently adjourned to Wednesday.

FOUR MORE CARS
Will Be Added to the Traction Com
pany's Equipment

General Manager George H. Clark of the
Birmingham Traction company has gone
to st. Louis, where he will inspect four
large motor cars which are being built in
that city for his company. Almost all of
the work ON them has been completed ex-
cept the painting, and they are expected
to arrive in Birmingham within three or
four weeks.
These cars are duplicates in size and
appearance of the big cars already oper-
ated on the North Birmingham and the
East Birmingham lines There are several
improvements in the new cars, however, in
their minor details.
When the new cars come, the Traction
company will have in all fourteen splendid
motor cars with which to operate eleven
miles of track. This number does not in
clude all of the trailer cars which the COM
pany has. The constantly increasing traf-
fic of the companys lines has made the
new cars absolutely necessary, especially
where there was any large crowd to be
handled.
