clared that the expedition had been
farce and fake" and that Mr.. Well
man had admitted he never had any
intention Of trying for the pole and
that he had "bluffed" the world with an
impossible project.
Alexander .Liwentall, who made the
charges against Mr.. Wellman, was em-
ployed by the expedition as an engineer
in the year 1906 and was dismissed at
the end of that years campaign. Since
his discharge he has made threats as
to what he would do to get even, and
has circulated stories attacking the
head Of the expedition with which he
was formerly connected. After max
ing various but unsuccessful attempts,
1t is understood, to have his attacks
printed in prominent Paris newspa-

on which the libel suit against the
Washington Post is based-was pub

Chicago, May 27.-Another mining
bubble hurst yesterday when it be-
came known that the Amador Min
Montana $1O,0OO,OO0 corporation
with headquarters in Chicago, had
come to an end. Letters that will be
mailed today will inform 1,4OO stock
holders, the majority Chicagoans, that
the coprer-gold mine In which they
have Sunk s65O,OO0 is worthless.
With the crash of the concern,
which had done a thriving business
in selling stock for six years, interest
increases in the whereabouts Of the
secretary and general manager, D. E..
Mackinnon, who appears to be the only
interested person who ever profited
from the enterprise. Mr.. Mackinnon
organized the company and doomed the
stock sales for five years. A year ago
he departed to Boston, where he opened
branch office, and since that time he
has sperlt only one day in Chicago.
Inquiries made by the stockholders
committee since the fiasco became ap-
parent resulted in information that
Mr. Mackinnon had left Boston for
some place in Maine, the exact loca-
tion Of which all efforts have failed to
establish.
The stockholders were considering a
proposal to purchase Mackinnon's half
interest in the mine for $15O,O0O when
they woke up, They already had paid
him $1,000 for an option on the prop

in this assembly that too much power
Is being centered in the hands Of a few

He said there was no feeling against
any member of the committee or
against any member of any board of
the church, but that it was believed by
many that no officer of any board of

friends of the report that he had voted
for it's adoption and thus established
his right to make the motion, moved
that the adoption of the report of the
committee be reconsidered, and the
motion carried. DR.. Merrill then offered
his amendment, which was to the ef-
feet that the present committee on
administrative agencies be discharged
and that new committee of twenty
one members be appointed, to include
all the members of the present COM
mittee who are not members of any
of the church boards. The amendment

SMELL WASTED FORTUNE.
Aged Millionaire squandered Thou
sands on Younger Women.

| Clinton, ILL.,, May 27.-Prodigality in
the dissipation of Colonel SHELLS bank
account while he was under the So
called hypnotic influence of his alleged
grand niece, Mabel Smell Mcnamara CT
Kansas City, was shown thru the tes-
timony of Frank Farrell, Shells agent
at Fort Dodge, Iowa, when the cele-
brated will case was resumed. Attor-
neys for the disinherited son sought to
show the poor business capacity of .the
life, and his. remarkable extravagance
after he had met his grand niece, Ma
BEL in 1900.
Altho Farrell said that Colonel Smell
had received $4,000, in rentals from
his Iowa property, and sold portion
of these lands for $4,000 during the
years between 1900 and 1906, and also
had received large sums from rents
and sales of land in Illinois, he died
owing central Illinois banks a sum
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. He left
nothing to show for the large sums re-
ceived from the sources named.
The only possible answer to the
problem, according to the lawyer for
the disinherited son, is Mabel Smell. A
trip to Fort Dodge, Iowa, in 1906, by
Colonel Smell and Mrs. Mcnamara to
inspect farm land and city realty was
told of by Farrell. The witness said
that Colonel Smell and Mabel were at
Fort Dodge three days. They went to
Iowa to arrange for the sale of the
property. Colonel Smell had never seen
the land previously, according to the
,,,;%,. o1t ha ho1 rnooiuo6 39C ono
Fin rentals from it.
'I've spent $500 to $1,000 in single
night on women" declared Colonel
Smell to A. r. Kline, former sheriff,
who was called as a witness. Smell
boasted of his success in winning Wom-
en- and also told of his gifts to. Mabel
Smell, his grand niece Of Kansas City,
the witness declared.
He mentioned farm in Rewitt coun-

and lots in Iowa, and also said he had
