When this had been done large

200 miles north OF the ship. Navigat-
ing over the ice in the cold Arctic
night would not be such an uncomfort-
able thing when the men would be
inside a well-heated car and projected
from the winds. When the point had
been selected for the first relay sta
tion, several trips could be made and a
quantity of gasoline and other sup
plies stored there. This would then
become the base for the final run far
ther north. There would be but 100
miles TO tho Pole
In the spring the car again would
be loaded with supplies and a loaded
siedge dragged behind over the we'll
known track to the first relay station.
From there the supplies would be car
ried for another 100 miles and sec
ond cache made. This operation could
be repfdteu until the explorers nad

the Pole With dog teams there never
would have been time for such leisurely
operations; and. besides. the dogs could
not have dragged more than they
would have eaten in going 500 miles,

But il is 10 be remembered that the
snow of the colder north is too dry to
pack, and that consequently the grip
would always be good.
The driving wheels are hung on arms

CONSTANTlNE'S DAY IN COURT
ArraiEned at CbicREO ON Charge of
Numbering Mrs. Louise
Gentry.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Frank J. Constan-
tine was arraigned today in the criminal
court on the charge of numbering Mrs.
Louise Gentry. 1t Is alleged that Constan-
tine cut her throat, but the motive has
never been discovered. He was the object
of a strenuous chase which embraced the
greater part of the civilized globe, and
was finally arrested in New York year
after Mrs. Gentry was killed, as he was
about to embark again.
The length to which the state has gone
in working up the case against Constantine
was shown today by the presence in court
of DR. David j. Doherty the only person
who saw Mrs. Gentry between the time Of
receiving her injury and her death. Dr.
Doherty is now In the government service
and is stationed in the Philippines. He
was brought from there to give his testi-
mony in the trial. He occupied the apart
ment below that in which Mrs. Gentry lived
and it was to his door that she staggered
with her throat cut. She died while he was
attempting to save her life.
