HARRY BROWN AN ALIAS
LAFAYETTE SQUARE VICTIM WAS
BENJAMIN M. HALPRIN.
Came Here From New York Week Ago
Identity Disclosed by
Photograph.

A response to the telegram sent to New
York yesterday. morning concerning the
young man who ended his life in Lafayette
Square Thursday night brought information
last night which makes It certain that he
was Benjamin NJ. Halprin. son of Abra-
ham Halprin. a real estate dealer, whose
home is at 80 Canal street. New York.
The young mans name and address were
written on card found in his pocket, and
the card also contained the instruction that
a message be sent to 80 Canal street in
event of an accident Had 1t not been for
the positive Identification made yesterday
by William Narrower the police would nat
urally have concluded that the name and
address on the card had something to do
with the identity of the man.
Photograph Proved Identity.
A photograph of the dead man reached
the police last night about II o'clock and
Detective Father was sent to the morgue
He saw at a glance that the picture was a
likeness of the dead man, as did the other
officers who visited the morgue with him.
The young mans father remained at po-
lice headquarters in New York until 3
o'clock this morning, when he received
telephone message from the police here
telling him of the identity of his sons body.
He informed Sergeant Carter that he would
leave New York this afternoon for this
city to take charge Of his sons body. He
said he expected to reach here about Z
o'clock.
Had $50 When He Came Here.
According to the informa ton received by
the police Halprin disappeared from his
home Tuesday of last week, after he had
been given some good advice about the
manner in which he was conducting bust
ness. He was employed by a furniture
firm of which his brother Jacob was
member.
1t is said that when he left his home he
had about $50 with him He appears to
have come direct to this city, for the day
after he disappeared he rented a room on
Sd street for a week. His week would
have expired Wednesday, but he was not
seen at the house after Tuesday.
He made the acquaintance Of William
Narrower and told him his name was Harry
Brown, and that he had come from Berlin,
Germany. This name he had assumed in
order to conceal his identity.
Chose an Alias.
The money he had when he left home
had been exhausted and the young man
then ended his life without saying a word
to his acquaintance Of his Intentions
In his room the police found only some
Undertaking and few books. On the
fly leaf of one of the books he had written
the names Harry Brown and Charles Nor
ris in addition to his real name.
1t is thought he may have intended as
Stunning the name of Morris, but afterward
concluded he would introduce himself as
Harry Brown.

PARIS )NEW YORK
OVERLAND HALLWAY ROUTE Elk
PLoREDBY MR. WINDT.
Story Of Journey Through Blizzard
Ridden Coanty-Thermometer
Registered 70 Below Zero.

The story Of thes hardships and priva-
tons OF the trio OF brave men who faced
starvation and freezing weather, in an at
tempt to find an overland route from Paris
to New York, was told last night to the
members of the National Geographic So
cfety and their guests at the National
Rihes Armory by Mr.. Harry De Windt,
the leader of the expedition. The audi
ence was one OF the largest that has as
sembied under the auspices Of the So
clety this season. Every seat on the floor
OF the house and every seat in the gall
lery was occupied. People were standing
In the aisles and In the open space be-
hind the last row Of chairs. The lecture
was illustrated with a number of excel
lent colored photographs.
Mr.. De Windt told his story simply and
clearly. He was introduced by DR.. Alex
ander Graham Bell and without extended
introduction Immediately entered upon his
supJect. He spoke of the object of the
journey, 70 ascertain possible railroad
route from Paris to New York, and then
referred to the start made and the various
stopping places until the end of the rail-
way was reached On the heart OF Siberia.
From this point .to the Arctic ocean lay
region to be traversed that was covered
with snow and ice and was utterly un-
known to the explorer. Mr.. De Windt was
accompanied by young EngliShman
named Hardy and Russian police official.
They Travelled, all told, from the end Of
tne railway line to Cape North, $500 miles
with morse sleds, reindeer sleds and finally
DOG sleds. The first 1900 miles was made
with morse sleds and the second 1000 with
reindeer sleds. The remainder Of the jour-
ney was with dog sleds
Privations Experienced.
The hardships and privations of the jour
ney were intense, the explorer said. Dur
ing the greater portion of the journey the
average temperature of the region through
which they passed was 40 degrees below
zero, and at one point the thermometer
sunk to IS degrees below. This place, said
Mr.. DE Wfndt, Is the coolest place on earth,
ana the thermometer has been known to go
as low as 81 degrees below zero. Through
out the journey the temperature was be-
tween 30 and 40 degrees below, and the
bl1zZards and snowStOrmS were terrible in
the extreme. The natives were inhospltable
In some places and treacherous at others.
The three hardy explorers finally managed
to get to the Boring straits, however, and
were picked up by an American whaler,
which took them to the nearest point in
Alaska, whence they made their way to
Nome. The subsequent journey to New
York was easily accomplished
Mr.. De Windt showed number of pic
lures Of the Alaska gold country. He said
he had visited the country in 1896 and
again last year, and the Improvement was
wonderful. He advised people to remain
away from Alaska unless they have plenty
of money. A man with $4,000 can make
money there, he said, but no one else. If
it was necessary to go to Alaska, he added,
river country. This is new country and is
open all the year round.
