great civil war from 1861 to 1865. They
taught us much by their life in wartime

A dispatch from Augusta, Maine, last

President Roosevelt today passed through

received the applause of a quarter of a

The greeting which has marked his prog

Russell Reed Starr, boy named
Black and another yesterday afternoon
restrained three little girls from cross
ing the North Durango bridge, on the
way from the Whittier school to their
homes on the south side. The Starr
boy first threatened TO throw one of
the girls over the bridge into the river,
some aftccn feet. and said If the others
uterfered he would throw them in.
After that they amused themselves
holding the little girls on the bridge
until they returned to school for relief.
1t is understood that proceedings
win be commenced against the boys.
Several times the hoodlum boy practice
has been suffered at this bridge and
elsewhere about the city. Only year
or so ago boys actually tried to throw
the little bartholomew boy from the
bridge, but were restrained by older
bows coming along In the nick of time.
There must be some restraint
against such practices.

WHY BALDWIN FAILED.
Arctic Explorer Relates Difficulties ir
Frozen North.

LONDON. Sept. 9--In response to
telegram from the Associated Press
Evelyn Baldwin has telegraphed an
explanation of the causes of his fail
ure to reach the pole and the cause OF
his dispute with Captain Johanssen OF
the America, as follows:
TROMS0E. Norway. Sept 9.-The
public has been deceived by false re-
ports regarding the expedition. Near
iy every member has been faithful, and
my comrades ought and must have due
credit for their work in establishing
large depots at Camp Zeigler during
March. April and May. Sometimes
they had to traverse the same route
ten times. Fifty sleighs were destroy
ed il this work. Open sea near the
depot at Teplitz bay prevented US from
reaching the Duke of AbruZZi's head
quarters, and poor ice conditions in
1901 prevented us from establishing
depots north of 80 degrees % minutes.
In this connection the death of half
of our dogs neeessitated the postpone
ment OF going to the pole. Nothing
favored returning via Greenland.
DelleEe the record Oh DelHS laTtH-
est north could have been broken. but
Il would have exhausted our supplies
and destroyed the hope of finally
reaching the pole.
Sailing Master Johanssen's demands
to become the Americas captain were
untenable and unbearable. His
threat December Is to take possession
Of the ship as captain and deal with
the crew in accordance with his own
win might have spoiled the expedi-
tion's If enforced. The ice pilot. as
well as the first mate. who had long
experience in the polar ice, We're enti
tiled to recognition. Johanssen's re
fusal to obey the ice pilots orders and
his declared unwillingness to take the
advice of my representatives on the
staff of the expedition, together with
other well founded reasons stated tC

CONDITION OF THE
ENGLISH RAILWAYS

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Times has
taken up the question of American and
British railway finance. and it handles
the situation in a manner to startle
its readers. 1t publishes an article
by a writer whom it vouches for as a
man who began his railway career in
England, and who has since attained
an important position in the United
States. The writer practically pro
claims the insolvency of the English
lines. He selects for a comparison
the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
with the Northeastern railway of Eng
land and similar lines. He declaresv
that if the latter charged to revenue
all that the I-ackawanna company does
the Northeastern's dividend, which is
per cent would be absolutely wiped
out.
The Times editorially handles the
writer's figures. 1t considers that he
mas proved his case. and that, broadly
speaking. the English railways have
no reserve. They maintain their
property but do not supplement and
do not improve il ont of their revenue.
The Times revelations are certain to
provoke retaliation. Mr.. Glib, mana
ger of the Northeastern railway. is re
garded as being among the ablest Dus-
mess men in England. He was select
ed to consider reforms of the war OIL
fee. and was also recently delegated
to visit the United States to compare
British and American railroad meth
