WINS IN RACE With DEATH
Colorado Woman Charters a Special

EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M, Sept. A.
Human ingenuity is pitted against the
hands Of death in a race which Mrs. A.
G. Dake and daughter are making from
California to Denver to the bedside of
the husband and father, stricken with a
mortal Illness IN Denver.
Mrs. Dake, who is the wife of a wealthy
real estate and mining man, was In Cali
fornia when she heard that her husband
was stricken. She and her daughter at
once started home At Winslow, Ariz.,
she received word that her husband had
but few hours to live and she immedi-
ately ordered a special train.
The special arrived here FIVE hours ahead
Of the regular 1t left behind. 1t is hoped
that twelve hours will be saved on the
run to Denver.
DENVER, Colo. Sept. 4.-The special
bringing Mrs. A. C. Dake and daughter
from Winslow, Ariz., to Denver, covered
the 500 miles between the two cities in
twenty hours and twelve minutes The
average speed for the entire distance, half
Of It through a mountainous country, was
forty miles an hour.
This beats all long distance records OF
the west. with the exception Of that Of the
Mayham special on the Burlington railroad
from Chicago to Denver, which ran 1,O26
miles at the rate Of forty-seven miles an
hour.
Mrs. Dake found her husband still alive
and conscious, but very low.

ARBITRATION is NOT FAVORED
Trades Union Congress Rejects
Scheme to Settle Labor
Differences.

LONDON, Sept. 4.--At today's session Of
the Trades Union congress there was a very
heated discussion Of a compulsory arbitra-
tion resolution introduced by the Dock,
Wharf and Riverside union.
The resolution was as follows:
In view of the colossal growth OF trusts
and combines of speculative capitalists, and
consequent concentration of capital and
monopoly of industry, this congress fore
sees the grave danger TO the nation and
the toiIers OF disloeati9n OF trade. stoppage
To avert such a calamity, this congress
calls upon the legislature to pass an act
creating a supreme court OF arbitration the

many Of the advantages they had wrung
from the employers, but would die Of mani

no longer exist.

BALDWIN EXPLAINS FAILURE
Explorer Tells why He Did Not Pro-
ceed and of the Trouble with
Captain Johannsen.

TRoMsoE, Norway. Sept. 4.-The Bald
win-zeigler Arctic expedition steamer
Frithlof. with william S. Champ, secretary
Of William Zeigler. in connection with his
Arctic expedition. on board, arrived here
this afternoon. -
Ice conditions compelled y = to return

Franz Josef Land nearer than y. ~ ss %
minutes north. Frithjof was fast " ee
for two days and finally forced its
through four inches OF Ice.
The hrst news Of the return OF Mr.. Bald
win on America was received on board
Frithjof at Havtesund. September 3.
The crew OF FrithjOf shot thirty-three
polar bears and saw thousands Of seals dur
ing the last days Of their trip. The preva-
lence Of fog and the shyness Of the seals
prevented Frithjof's men from catching any.
LONDON, Sept. An response to a tele-
gram from the Associated Press, Evelyn B.
Baldwin has te,egraphed an explanation Of
the causes OF his failure to reach the pole
and the cause Of his dispute with Captain
Johanssen Of the America. ETC., as follows:
TROMSOE, Norway. Sept. A--The public
has been deceived by false reports regard
ing the expedition. Nearly every member
has been faithful, and my comrades ought
and must have due credit for their work
IN establishing large depots at Camp Llegler
during March, April and May. Some times
they had to traverse the same route ten
times. Fifty sleighs were destroyed in this
work.
open sea noar the depot at Teplltz bay
prevented us from reaching Duke OF
Abruzzrs headquarters, and poor ice condi-
tions, in 1901 prevented us from establish
ing depots at north Of so degrees % minutes.
In this connection the loss of half of our
dogs necessitated the postponement OF going
to the pole. Nothing favored returning by
way of Greenland.
1 believe the record of being farthest
north could have been broken, but Il would
have exhausted our supplies and destroyed
the hope of finally reaching the pole.
Sailing Master Johannsen's demands 20
become Americas captain were untenable
and unbearable. His threat, December l. to
take possession OF the ship as captain and
deal with the crew in accordance with his
own will would have spoiled the expedi-
tons plan II enforced. The ice pilot, as
well as the first mate, who had long ex-
perience in polar ice, were entitled to recog-
milton. Johannsen's refusal to obey the ice
pilots orders and his declared unwillingness
| to take the advice of my representatives on
the sleigh expedition, together with other
well founded reasons stated to the Ameri-
can consul now here, caused his discharge
| and the promotion of three of his country
| men, who all followed me in the sleigh ex-
| pedition and obeyed with pleasure the or
ders given by myself, my representatives
| and the ice pilot BALDWIN.
