Itis not certain that this hearing will be

If the Deuel. case brings out evidence

DENIAL BY THE MCARTERS.

in Name OF His Brother.

Thomas N McCarter, president OF the
Public Service Corporation, and his brother,
Robert H. MoCarter, who succeeded him
as Attorney General Of the State of New

refute and deny the statement written for
McClure's magazine by Lincoln Steffens,
asserting that tom" threatened that his
brother, the Attorney-G General, would never
act in the matter of the Jersey City and
Bergen Railroad which Mayor Pagan was
trying to oust from the use of the streets.
Thomas N. MoCarter denies saying this and
explains what he did say. Robert Fl.
McCarter says that when the bill appeared
in the Legislature he was absolutely in
different about it and said so to everybody
who asked him his opinion Of it. The
letters of the two brothers contain over
5000 words. Pagan will answer that Lin

small paragraph in a Sunday news
paper created no end Of a disturbance in
the Hungarian Republican Club of which
Marcus Braun is the president SO great
was the stir in fact that every offioer and
trustee from President Braun down, all
elected one week ago at the annual meet
ing resigned last night, The resigna-
tions were not accepted and the whole mat
ter was patched up after two hours of pretty
hot debate.
Braun is friend OF the President and Mr.
Roosevelt is an honorary member Of the
club. The paragraph that caused the
rllmpus was to the effect that the Odell men
in the club had got even with Braun by de-
feating several OF his candidates at the
annual election.
When called upon to explain his resigna-
ton last night Mr. Braun said that if any
man had been elected an official of the club
as an Odell man he did not want to serve
with him. The other officers felt the Same
way he said.
Deputy Attorney General Blau, who is
naturally partisan Of the State chairman,
denied that there was any factionalism in
the election and declared that he was in
no way party to spreading reports to the
effect that the Odell mel had got even.
Recording Secretary Dittler, who had
said a few blunt things about Odell in II

complained that he had been pounded ever

be welcome he now got the cold shoulder.
He practically accused Blau of going around

he had never said anything about Dittler
that he was not willing TO repeat to his face,
After the club had voted to refuse to
accept the designations they fell with one
accord upon the paragraph and its insti-
gator.
"The man who got that story into type

A FIVE-MILE ICEBERG.
Capt. Scott Tells Geographical So
ciety That Many Are a Mile and
a Half in LenQth.

| Capt. Scott described to the Royal
Geographical Society in London the
other day the geographical results of
neutrality-suspicious. of the discov-
erer. Speaking of the size of Antarctic
| icebergs, he said there was some eX-
cuse for the exaggeration. OF the many
hundreds seen by the Discovers
crew, very few exceed a mile in length
or $50 feet in hight.
The largest iceberg they saw off
King Edward Land. They estimated
that it was about five or six miles in
length, and it seemed to run back for
an equal distance.
He observed that it was extremely
improbable that the full height of the
ice-cap of Victoria Land could be seen
anywhere from the sea or from the
barrier surface.
"Whether we accept what our inn
aginatiOn must suggest" said Capt.
Scott, "Or whether we pause at the ac-
tual facts which have been discovered,
this great ice-sheet is unique
He expressed the belief that the ice
sheet known as the Great Barrier is
aaOat. Hundreds of fathOmS of water
intervene between the bottom of the
ice and the floor of the sea. During
their stay in the eastern inlet the ice
rose and fell with the ship.
"If the high coast line of Victoria
Land" he said, lis carried for 100
miles beyond one position in the direc-
ton we saw it extending, it is making
direct toward Graham Land, and |
cannot but think that it continues. If
so, the geographical pole will be sit
uated 200 miles or more from it and on
the high plateau of ice. -

ARTIFICIAL LIFE.
DIR. Loeb Explains Method of Fertt-
Iizing Sea Urchin Eggs.

DR.. Jacques Loeb, head Of the physi-
illogical department of the University
of California, recently published sec
ond communication Of his recent dis
covery of ian improved method of ar
tifciaI parthenogenesis," In his bulle-
tin he gives many technical details Of
method Of treating unfertillzed eggs Of
the sea urchin with hypertonic sea wa
ter and sea water to which small
quantity of ethylacetate had been add
ed.
In summing up he declares he has
now come wonderfully close to simu-
lating by laboratory manipulation all
vital processes of fertilization by natu-
raj agencies. He says in conclusion:
IF we treat unfertilized eggs with
acid alone every egg forms membrane
which disintegrates in less than TWEEN
ty-four hours. The eggs which are
treated only with hypertonic sea water
for two hours form no membrane and
do not disintegrate. This indicates
more than merely cumulative differ
ence In effects Of the two agencies. The
combination Of both methods leads to
process of development which to all ap-
pearances is identical with effects Of
entrance of spermatoZOon."
