PLANS OF WALTER WELLMAN
TALKS OF HIS BALLOON TRIP TO
THE NORTH POLE.
Departure From Spitzbergen In the
Airship Will Be Made Late in
July or Early in August.

Walter Wellman, the arctic explorer who
is planning trip to the north pole in a
dirigible balloon, is in Washington for his
last visit before going to Europe to su-
perintend the shipping of the apparatus for
his journey
by the middle Of May said Mr.. Well
man, everything will be in readiness to
ship by train to Rotterdam and thence
by boat to Tromsoe, Norway, where, dur
ing the last days of May. the expedition
will assemble and board the Frithjof and
sail to our station at Spitzbergen.
June and part of July will probably be
consumed in assembling the ship and
making our test flights to assure US that
everything is as 1t should be. We have
extensive workshops there, and about
forty men will be employed in making the
final preparations.
Toward the end of July, or during the
first half of August, we expect to take our
departure from Spitzbergen in the airship
and make for the pole. We will have
everything aboard that would be necessary
for sledging work, including twenty-five
sledge dogs, brought to us from arctic
Siberia by a special reindeer caravan over
trail of more than 900 miles in length
Mr. Welman will be the guest of honor
at a farewell dinner given in New York
by the Aero Club next Wednesday, and
Thursday he will said for Paris. He will
probably not return to this country again
before making the essay at the pole.
Will Sail Next Week.
He arrived from Europe on the steam
ship Kaiser Wilhelm II Wednesday morn
ing, and after attending the marriage Of
his daughter, in Washington, he will
sail next week to complete mis- prepara-
tons for the aerial voyage. He expects
to reach SpitZbergen, where three men
were left last summer in charge of the
skeleton framework of balloon shed. early
in June and at favorable opportunity In
July August he plans to launch his air
slip and set sail for the pole.
But he has no intention of following the
example of Andre and deliberately commit
suicide. Andre knew that the chances
were vastly against his success, Mr.. Well
man said, but his sincerity had been ques-
toned and he feared more to return home
without having made the attempt than the
dangers Of the attempt itself.
I'VE may not succeed the first time, said
Mr. Wellman, but we shall not lose heart.
and on the second or third attempt, if they
are necessary, we have the utmost conf
dence that we shall succeed

stacles to success had been taken into con-
sideration. AS to the danger from the con-
densation of moisture and the accumula-
ton of a great weight of snow on the sur
face of the balloon, which has been sug-
gested by Peary and other arctic explorers,
as well as by aeronautS, Mr.. Wellman said

GETS LONG SENTENCE.
Samuel Washington, Colored, Con
victed of Six Thefts.

Samuel Washington, coored, was ar
raigned in the Police Court yesterday on
six charges of larceny from guests Of the
Hotel Ardmore, on 18th street northwest
He pleaded "brainstorms'' excuse, al
though not designating his trouble by that
name. Judge Mullowny did not allow the
"brainstorms'' to secure an acquittal, but
declared Washington guilty in all six cases.
The total sentence is one year absolute and
SlJd fine one year additional, making the
tenn two years, unless Washington pays
the fine.
Washington is stated to have been re-
ligiouS instructor and preacher of some
note among the people of his race. and his
favorite topic, upon which he delivered an
address recently, was Hypocrisy and the
Christian Religion
why did you steal these articles from
your employers while you were preaching
on Hypocrisy" Prosecuting Attorney Ralph
Given asked him.
Because l thought 1t would keep me from
taking things replied the defendant.
Washington was employed at the Ard

to be wearing pair OF trousers taken from
Ernest c. Rankin one of the guests, the
detective arrested him.
After Washingtons arrest, Precinct De-
tective Mullen visited the prisoners home
and there found many of the other articles

three coats and pair of trousers, belong

How did YOU come to take these things?'
Washington was asked.
About two years ago l fell in with a
thief and he tried to get to go in with
him. l wouldn't do it at first. but he talked
to me and the first trouble l got into was
with him. l think l have been hypnotized
ever since. And when l a thing that
like l want to take it, and my mind is TOO
weak for me to resist
That is an Irresistible impulse, you

Sometimes my mind is blank and at
other times l can't help doing things which
l don't want to do, replied Washington.

His balloon has three thicknesses of cot
ton coated with emulsion of pure rub
Der, which, he believes, would be imper-
vious to moisture and would shed rain and
snow as perfectly a tin roof. In addition,
he expects that the injection of air heated
by the gasoline engine in to an interior
balloon will, by radiation. add two degrees
at least to the temperature of the surround
ing hydrogen. which would result in pre-
venting the forma ton of frost on the sur

WORKING MEN, NOT CATTLE.

Employers who imagine themselves
hardly used by the liability laws of this
country may find the consolation OF
knowing that others are worse off than
themselves by studying the new
British liability law which becomes eff
fective next July.
This law takes away from employers
the right to set up in defense the allie
cation that the misconduct ana care
lessness of the injured workman caused
the accident and even includes Ger
tain diseases as accidents for which
the employer is liable.
If the injury causes death and the
workman leaves persons dependent on
his earnings the amount is sum
equal 10 the wages earned in the same
employment during the three previous
years, or $3.50, whichever is the greater.
Where the accident causes disablement
weekly payment not exceeding $4.Ss
is provided, but otherwise 1T may be
earnings. In order to meet this new
burden employers are preparing to in
sure against the new risk, and compan-
les are being formed for the purpose.
< Possibly this law is needed in Great
Britain. At any rate 1t will be law
there after July 1, and will be ac-
uuiesced in as Englishmen always ac-
auiesce in law. However, there is
faint of paternalistic pauperization OF
the working class in it that would rem
der it more obnoxious to the high class
American working man than to the
EMPLOYER. Employers should be liable
for accidents caused by their neglect
or greed, but to take over the life OF
the man who works, to free him from
all responsibility for his own safety
and place him in the class of domes-
;ticated animals, is something that
would be likely to disagree with the
proud stomach Of the average Amer
sican workman.
Here in America working men take
care of themselves and their families.
They want to attend to their insurance
in person, and not by proxy. After
ordinary precaution has been taken
the American working man wants
his protection In the pay envelope.
That is the place for it. To relieve
him of all responsibility, even for his
own safety is to cheaper him individ-
aually, and as a class. Employers liza
bility laws we should have, but we
should leave the working man his
manhood and sense Of responsibility.

Iowa's Educational Institutions
tFrom the Governors Message)

during the past year, and added value
directly traceable to the work or the
college. an amount far exceeding all
the appropriations ever made for noth
buildings and support. When material
dividends of such magnitude can be
declared upon an investment, there
ought to be no hesitancy in generously
supplying its needs ! do not mention
the ordinary requirements for irs en-
larged functions, but / must be- per-
mitted to refer to one matter Wnlch 1
think you may WE'LL consider. There
are certain fundamental truths In the
science of agriculture, of constant ap-
plication in farming. that can be taught
with fair degree of success by corre-
spondence. There are a great many
of our boys who cannot attend per-
sonally upon the courses of instruc-
ton given at the college. There are a
great many men of mature age who
ought to know these things. but who
cannot leave their work and enroll
themselves as students. / believe that
school of correspondence ought to
be attached to the department OF agri-
culture so as to give these BOYS ana
these men an opportunity to learn the
common principles of their avocation.
If this is DONE there will not be a
single year in which the wealth added
to the state, thru the information thus
impaired, will not return, by hundred
fold, the money required to maintain
the correspondence school. I hope that
no one will construe my recommends
ton into a desire to lower the stand
ards of education. 1 understand per-
fectly that course Of instruction thru
correspondence must be somewhat SUI
perficial and very inadequate, but there
is a pressing need for even moderate
learning in agriculture, and the sub
ject is peculiarly adapted to courses
pursued in correspondence.
The State Normal school. under the
supervision Of an unexcelled leader, is
pressing forward year by year, and it
challenges the just pride of every citi-
zen. 1t is furnishing to the state and
to the country teachers of the highest
qualifications.

ON LINES OF RECIPROCITY.

! Canada's new tariff is a business
proposition. Those who favor Canada
get favors, those countries that refuse
| concessions to Canadian trade pay the
| highest rate of duty The new tariff
| has three columns of schedules, one
| for Great Britain, whose heavy trade
with the United States is to be at
tracted, if possible, to Canadian mar
preferential rates and a list of articles
admitted free that, coming from other
countries, are dutiable; another a
notch higher for the products of pro-
tective countries, a column of trading
stock schedules wherewith to gain
while granting concessions. Still an
other. the highest, to apply to coun-
tries that refuse concessions. The
United States and German productions
belong in the column of highest rates.
Great Britain gets the best of it. In
1890 goods worth $43,OOo,OOO were I'M
ported into Canada from Great
Britain In 1897 they had fallen to
$50 100000. Preference turned the tide
and British imports last year were
SOS, 600, 200. Dutiable goods-on which
preference is given-were $20,000,000 in
1897, and $52,OO0,O0O in 1906.
England is SO profitable a customer
that Notwithstanding her refusal to
give Canada a preferential rate the
Canadians are willing to make conces-
sions to British manufacturers in order
to turn British demand to the livestock,
lumber and grain fields of the dominion.
plains that:
Canada would have been pleased if
Great Britain could have reciprocated
the preference, but recognized that was
matter which Great Britain must
determine for itself. The mutual pref
erence which so many were anxious to
obtain might perhaps come as a result
of the present policy, but would not
be seured by Canada insisting on con-
ditions to which the majority of British
people seemed hostile. Hitherto the
preferential rate in nearly all cases had
been one-third off the general rate; it
was now proposed to have separate
columns and the rate on each item set
forth. Generally speaking, the pref
erence remained at about one-third off
the general tariff; in some cases would
be less, in some cases it would be more
