citation. Professor Darwin made the
opening speech. He commented on
the remarkable achievement which
permitted party travelling In cleo
trio lighted saloon cars to visit place
which heroic explorers had spent
months of fruitless endeavor to reach.
Professor Darwin quoted the forecast
written by Erasmus Darwin in 1885:
Soon shall thy arm, unconquered
stream afar
Urge the slow barge and draw the
flying car.
He said how little could the writer
of these lines have foreseen for his
great grandson the honor of opening
a railway bridge in the heart of Equa.

AT the conclusion of his speech Pro.

button which fused a wire stretched

 Cincinnati. Aug. 4.-The tragic death of Robert w Criswell in New York last night, following the complaint made against his paper, The New York CT, for a publication involving Con- gressman Rhinock of Covington. Ky, Miss Alice Roosevelt, Congressman Longworth and others, led to the sup position that 1t was a case of suicide caused by the results of that publica- tion.
 Congressman Rhinock returned to the city today from a brief absence, and said he was shocked by the news. Tt probably was suicide" he said, but I do not believe the charge I filed against him prompted the act. for Cris- well knew there was nothing immedi- ate for him to fear in my case. As a matter of fact, do not believe 1t is revealing a secret now to say that since the publication of his arrest on the complaint I made. Criswell had been summoned to the district attorneys of flee half a dozen times on cases en. tirely distinct from mine. After the ice was broken. others who had not up to that time dared to take action went to Jerome or his assistant. Kro, tell, and told their stories.
