HIGH TRIBUTE TO TELLER.

Wolcott says that important matters
requiring legislative action will be coming
UP and viii demand all the time and at
tention of the Legislature, therefore the
Senatorial contest should not be further
continued.
Speaking of Teller, the ex-senator says
that in no sense was he a party to the
frauds referred to, although he was the
beneficiary. He pays the following tribute
to the Senator-elect:
He has served Colorado nearly gen.
Grafton at Washington, and whatever
may be our regret that he no longer
marches in the ranks of the party which
has so highly honored him, every citizen
Of the State wishes him health and
strength and believes that he is single

Wolcott concludes his statement by say
ing that for himself he has not the slight

does he cherish rancor toward anybody.
He declares that he will always be found

by a large main party. Commander
Peary says:
81 should expect to accomplish the
distance to the pole and return in
about 100 days or a little more, an
average travel of about ten miles a
day. Returning should break the
ship out late in the season and return
home. If ice conditions the first year
were such as to prevent reaching the
northern shore of Grant Land, should
winter as far north as practicable and
force the ship to the desired location
the following year. In this event, the
expedition would be gone two years"
Distinctive features of Commander
Peary's plan are the use Of individual
sledges with comparatively light loads,
drawn by dogs; the adoption Of Eskimo
methods and costume and the fullest
utilization of Eskimos.
Commander Peary believes the adj
vantages Of his plan and route are a
fixed land base 100 miles nearer the
pole than any other route: a more
rigid ice pack extending further pole
ward than is to be found on the oppo-
site side Of the pole; a wider land base
on which to retreat and a well-beaten
line Of communication and retreat from
winter quarters to comparatively low
ATTITUDES which is practicable at any
season Of the year.
Tonight Commander Peary said the
expedition would be made under the
auspices of the Peary Arctic club, of
New York, of which Morris K. Jessuh
is president. The club would finance
the expedition to the extent of $3.50, 600,
which is $4,000 more than the cost of
the last trip.

Special to The Globe.
RED LODGE. Mont, Sept. 5.-From
reports received here from Cody. Wvo.
1t appears Mrs. Anna e. Brown. of
River View, met death in a most nm
usual manner at De Maris Hot Springs.
Her death was not due to drowning. as
was supposed, an inquest developing
that there was no water on her lungs.
She was victim of poisonous gases
which are said to rise from the springs.
and which are alleged to have proved
fatal in more than one case during the
past twenty years.
Mrs. Brown went alone to the springs
to battle, which she was doing for
rheumatism. A few minutes later 9TH
ers went to the bath house and found
her body lying face downward in the
water. She was already dead.
With no one near to assist her she sue
cumbed to the deadly fumes which pour
out of caverns and are said to be worse
when the wind is blowing from the south
The stories connected with this spring
rival those of the famous Death Valley
OF the national park, where many animals
are found dead. The same, according
to reports, is true OF DeMaris Springs.
The gas, it is said. pours out of the hole
In volumes and 1t is claimed that if one
gets his face over the hole he is gone
unless he has some one to rescue him
The last death reported previous to that
OF Mrs. Brown was that of a cowboy,
name unknown here. who went to the
springs to battle in 1893 and met his death

COMMIT SUICIDE
THROUGH FEAR
Woman and Two Children Feared
Woman's Former Husband.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 5.-The
bodies of Mrs. Rosa Leisey thirty five
years old, and of her two children,
Gottfried sixteen years, and Mary, fif-
teen years, were found by the police
today in their home. The mother and
son were lying on a couch clasped in
each others arms, and the daughters
body was lying on three chairs at the
foot Of the couch. The bodies were de-
composed. Mrs. Lesley and her chill
dren came here from Zurich, Switzer-
land, five months ago. The woman
and her son were employed in silk
mill.
Investigation developed that the
woman and her children had died from
poisoning. 1t is believed the family
agreed to end their lives together
Charles Lesley, brother of the wom-
an, expressed the opinion that fear of
her husband, Fred Lineger, from whom
she was divorced, was the cause of the
act. Lineger is In Switzerland, but had
written letter to his former wife an
nouncing his intention of coming to
this country. Mr.. Lesley said his sis
ter had expressed fears that she would
suffer violence at his hands.

NEED CROSS-TOWN LINE
TO CARRY FAIR CROWDS
President coserove Says Attendance
Can't Otherwise Increase.

Further growth of the Minnesota
state fair depends upon the construc-
ton of new cross-town street car
line, according to President c. M. Cos
grove of the fair association.
Flushed with the success of the
greatest fair in the history of the as
ISOLATION, the managers are already
beginning to consider plans for big
ger fair next year. Handling of big
ger crowds is the problem that must
first be solved. Last night President
Cosgrove said:
IF the Minnesota State fair is to
grow any more we must have a cross
town car line. The street car com
pany did better by us this year than
ever before, but our crowds cannot
satisfactorily be hauled over one line.
1t takes too long to get the. people here
and far too long to get them away.
Thursday, despite the rain, would
have been the biggest day in the his
tory OF the Minnesota fair had the
street car service been adequate If
the company could have handled the
business We would have had $4,000
people on the grounds here before the
rain commenced. If the fair is to con-
tinue its growth we must have a new
line across on Lexington avenue and
we should have at least two depots for
the handling of the crowds, especially
on rainy days.
"Of course I am delighted with the
achievements Of 1903. But I feel best
over the fact that we have handled
nearly 100000 people here without an
accident and without being compelled
to arrest one of them for drunkenness.
Our big crowds have been composed
of quiet, orderly, sober people and our
wives and daughters without escorts
have been as safe here and as free
from annoyance day and evening as
they would be on the streets of ST.
Paul"

Painting the Pope.

ROME, Sept. 5.-H. j. Thaddeus, the
well known Irish painter, whose por-
traits of Plus TX, Leo X, Mr.. Glad
stone and other prominent personages
have won him considerable fame, has.
owing to the good offices of Cardinal
Moran, obtained the privilege of being
the first to paint picture of the pres
ent pope. He has already made two
studies and has taken a number of
photographs, which required several
sittings, during which the pope was
most affable and seemed to enjoy the
conversation, wit and work of the ar
fist. On one occasion, being busy, the
pontiff declared he could spare the
artist only half an hour, but he ended
in remaining about two hours.
In reply to a remark of Mr.. Thad-
deus that he always heard the pope
had dark eyes; while really they were
blue, like those of the Irish,'' the pom
tiff replied: Then we are of the same

Protection From Washers.

BERLIN, Sept. 5.-The ministry of
the interior has directed the police
president to organize special police, in
plain clothes. to protect women and
girls from the attentions of men on
the streets. These daylight insults are
probably practiced more in Berlin than
in any other continental city, and the
press for month has been urging the
authorities to adopt measures to en-
able women to do their shopping at
midday without being exposed to in
suits.

PREACHER is ARRESTED
AS A BURGLAR
Women Said Criminal Had the Voice
of Their Pastor.

HILLSBORO, Or, Sept. 5.-Rev. R.
H. Kennedy, Congregational minister
of this place, was arrested today on a
charge of burglary. He is suspected
of having robbed the residence of f.
II. Warren. The house was broken
into and the burglar tried to chloro-
form the occupants while they slept.
Rev. DR.. Kennedy was placed under
arrest on the statement of the women
of the house, who claimed to have rec
ognized in the voice of the burglar that

the pulpit The minister is highly ed
ucated, but is in hard circumstances,
as he frequently lost his place as pas
tor because he would not devote all his
time to church work.
Kennedy denies the charge, but evil
dence against him is said to be very
strong.

SULTAN HIRES AN
AMERICAN PRESS AGENT
Iowan to Look After Turkish Interests
in United States Papers.

IOWA FALLS, Iowa, Sept. 5.-Joe
Morcombe, a well known Iowa news
paper man, has been rendered posi-
ton with the Turkish government
through that countrys minister at
Washington, and will accept the post.
1t will be his duty to represent, through
the American press, the true conditions
existing in the Ottoman empire.
1t is claimed by the Turkish repre-
sentatives in this country that distort-
ed and incorrect reports come from
Macedonia, and that, to correct the
wrong impression gained by the Ameri-
can public, a Turkish repres sentative IS
needed. Mr.. Morcombe will enter on
his duties this fall, and expects to
leave for Macedonia about the first of
the month. He was formerly connect
ed with the Cedar Rapids Press, and is
one of the best informed Masons in the
country, having been connected with

Fire Causes Loss of $4,000.
The. destruction of the old Jockey
club building, occupied for the last
three years by the State Federation of
Women's clubs, entails a loss of about
$4,000, aside from the personal losses
of those who were lodging in the
structure.
Great excitement was caused on the
grounds by the fire, which took place
shortly after noon, during a very busy
hour of the day..
1t was 1:15 when Mrs. Challon went
into the kitchen to light a gasoline
stove. No sooner had she touched a
match to the stove than there was a
flash and the entire stove was envel-
oped in flames Either the tank which
held the gasoline had leaked or else
some one had left the gasoline turn
ed on.
Rushing from the room she called to
H. B. Jewell of Wabasha, who was in
an adjoining apartment. He fastened
into the kitchen as soon as he heard
her cry fire." picking up a blanket from
a cot as he went. With this he en-
deavored to smother the flames. which
were being rapidly communicated to
the woodwork. Almost as Mr.. Jewell
threw the blanket over the blazing
stove the gasoline tank exploded, scat
tering the oil and driving him from
the room. 9e6
Believing that the building was
doomed, Mr. Jewell hastened to the
stairway and tried to save his personal
effects, which were up stairs. Before
doing so, however, he went outside the
building and gave4an alarm. When he
went back to go up stairs he found
the upper story so filled smoke that
he was compelled to turn back at the
head of the stairs without saving any
of his belongings.
The building burned like finder.
Within an Incredibly short time the
flames had found their way up through
the upper stories and were breaking
out from thed upper windows and
through the roof.
1t is claimed that there was some
delay in getting 1he telephone alarm
to the fire department, owing to the
fact that the instrument in the club
building was a niekel-in- the-slot ma
chine, and when some one atternBt ed

tails In response to an inquiry as to
whether German marines were among
those United States Minister Leishman
reported as having been landed at Con-
stantinople. 1t is inferred here, how
ever. that the conditions at the Turk

that the legations have been warned
to look out for their own safety, the
Porte disclaiming in advance respon-
sibility for any disorderly act.
