New York, Jan. 26.-Sir Martin Can
way, an explorer, who has contributed
much to what is known of the noun
tain regions Oi the world, is at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, having recently returned
from his third trip of exploration tc
South America.
Sir Martin, whose explora ions have
extended over a period of 10 years ard
who has devoted nearly 80 years to Sc
entific research, said last night that his
work in South America would mark the
close of his career AS an explorer. He
said that he would maintain his interest
in scientific discovery but that in the
future he would fit out exploring eXpe-
ditions instead of song himself.
Sir Martin. being asked whether mis-
explorations in South America We're
prompted by scientific objects or were
for commercial purposes. said:
Il have been interested in the subie, It
from a scientific standpoint. 1t is inn
mensely rich in minerals. noN ri,h no

English capitalists may soon 10 TX to that
region as a promising field for invest
ment?"

Martin. Capital! sts are cautious, end
the mineral resources # the region are
as vet an undete. mined qua!ity There
can be no question, however tia the
entire territ Dry 10 the east of II. a Andes
is rich in minerals. Gold, silver, cop-
per, tin and other metals are there in
vast quantities-quantities so great as
to make that region in the future more
| productive of precious metals than either
the Transvaal or the klondike.

with which it was given and under
which the technique was hidden was
especially commendable.

1T Is NO CRIME
To Open a Jack Pot With Bad Money
Says Federal Grand Jury.

indianapolis, May 3l.-A jury in the
United States court returned verdict
yesterday In which it was held that
il is no violation of law to use Il coun-
terfeit coin in opening "A jack pot
in poker game. The case was that
of Jesse Page of ElnOra, who was
charged with passing "A counterfeit dol
lar while he had his feet under a po-
ker table. \ Jack pot was the object
for which the players We're striving.
Page broke the pot" for j dollar and
tossed the coin on the table with the
chips that were already there. But
Page did not win the pot. 1t was
raked in by man who was a witness
for the government in the case.
The jury did not decide if il was
violation of law for a player to
open a Jackpot when he held less
than pair of jacks in his hand.
After the jury returned the verdict
Judge John III. Baker said: The jury
evidently thinks it is no crime TO pass
counterfeit money in breaking a jack
pot But from my knowledge of jack
pots l should think it was crime"

The somewhat startling figures

idiocy of thu law enacted by the last

Street commissioners have been III
the habit of employing laborers not
capable of doing the work of able
bodied men, not entitled To the same
pay or expecting it. In most cases
ploy these men, as they are not only
unskilled, but unable physically
to take and hold places in
the factories and shops. AT the
same time the city has lost nothing
in the transaction as the men were
paid in proportion To their worth.
Under the new law the street com
missioner, if he employs these dis
abled men ut all, must pay them 20
cents an hour, and thereby lay him
self liable To the charge of squander
ing the public money. The resul,
will probably be that he will hereaf
