COLORADO WOULD ANNEX
BIG STRIP OF KANSAS
Hope is to Solve Part of Irrigation
Problem by Moving State Line
to the Eastward.

Pueblo, Colo. Sept. 3O.-A solution
OF the Kansas Colorado water suit is
suggested in the annexation of strip
of the western portion of Kansas about
100 miles to the state of Colorado.
Agitation along this line has already
started, and politicians in Kansas and
Colorado are making every effort to
get a hill through the legislatures of
both states whereby the western por-
ton OF Kansas can be taken into Colo
radO. The strip of country is the arid
region OF the state. where the irriga-
tion problem is of the greatest import
ance TO the residents.

FAST IN POLAR SEA
ZiegIer Expedition Not Heard From

Are Felt.
600 MILES FROM THE POLE
w. S. Champ Sails for America to Fit
Out Another Relief
Ship.

London, Sept. 3O.-After failing
twice TO carry relief to the Ziegler
polar expedition that has been impris-
oned in the Arctic seas for a year, W.
S. Champ. Mr. Ziegler's secretary, sail
ed for New York today to fit out an
other expedition, which will make an
other attempt next June.
Mr.. Champ stated that after leaving
Vardo. Norway, Ailg. 6, the relief
steamer, the Frithjof. first encountered
tremendous gales. After meeting with
an ice pack it steamed as rapidly as
possible until it reached almost 70 de-
grees of north latitude, when the drift
ice drove it back.
Driven Back by lee.
After endeavoring to find another
passage the Frithjof was obliged, Sept.
IA, to give up the attempt, as new ice
was forming of a thickness of seven
inches in "a hours.
Mr.. Champ said it was just possible
that the America might be able to
release itself during October, but prob
ably it would not be heard from until
next year. He believed, however, that
the members of the expedition were
amply supplied with provisions.
Unheard From for Il Year.
The steamer America, which was fit
ted out at the expense of Mr.. Ziegler,
entered the Arctic circle more than a
year ago. and since the beginning of
September, 1903, has not been heard
from. The America is under the COM
mand of Anthony Fiala, whose plan
was to form a secondary base in Prince
Rudolph Land, after sailing across to
Franz Joseph Land, and from there
follow an overland route to the pole.
The estimated distance is a little more
than COO miles, and the explorer hoped
to accomplish the journey in about
seventy days. He had with him a
party of 50 men.

Iy Since the Year
1877.

Worcester. Mass, Sept. Ex-senator
George F. Hoar died at - IS o'clock
this morning. The end came peace
fully after several days of unconscious
ness. All the members of the family
were at the bedside when the end
came.
Senator Hoar has been IN the United
States senate since 1877. He was be-
loved in Massachusetts as no other
man. Thousands disagreed with him,
bur they admitted his honesty, his fear
lessness and his admirable candor.
His ancestors were helpers in the
building of the nation. His father.
Samuel Hoar, and his grandfather,
Capt. Samuel Hoar. were big men in
their day. The latter was in the revo-
lutionary war and also served in the
state legislature. The father of the
senator was lawyer of special genius.
His EnrIy Career.
Senator HOar was born in Concord
Aug. 20, 1926. He was educated at
Concord academy and at Harvard col
lege, from which he was graduated in
1916. He studied law at Harvard Law
school and was admitted to the bar at
Worcester, where he was soon chosen
as city solicitor and as president of
the city library trustees.
In 1851 he was elected to the Mas
sachuSetts legislature, and in 1856 to
the state senate. In 1868 he was sent
to congress and was reelected to the
three following congresses, but declin-
ed denomination finally. He was then
chosen senator from Massachusetts.
Offices He Filled.

lege from 1878 to 1880; he presided
over the Massachusetts state repubi-
can conventions of 1871, 1877, 1882 and
1885. He was a delegate to the ma
tiOnal republican conventions of 1876
at Cincinnati, and of 1880, 1884 and
1883 at Chicago He was one of the
managers of the Belknap impeachment
trial in 1876 and a member of the cleo
tOral commission in the same year. At
various times he had been regent of
the Smithsonian institution trustee of
Leicester academy and of the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology, president and
vice president of the American Anti
quarian Historical society, American
Historical society and the Historic
Genealogical society. The degree of
LID. was conferred on him by Will
liam and Mary, Amherst. Harvard and
Yale.
Was an AntI-ImperiaIist.
Senator Hoar was an anti-imperial-
list. as everyone knows. He fought the
republican administration policy in
the Philippines with unceasing
vehemence. He believed that once
the war with Spain was over there
should be no conquest of lands or peo-
pies. His antagonism to the policy of
the party on the Filipinos was always
earnest and dignified.
Condolences From President.
Worcester, Sept. 3O.-ROckwood
Hoar today received the following mes
sage from President Roosevelt:
Accept my most profound sympa-
thy. The loss is not yours only but
Of all those who believe in "A lofty stan
