November. 1907, in trying to return
from the north coast Of Greenland by
way of the inland ice. They had
been obliged to remain on the north
coast the summer of that year, owing
to the state of the weather.
"Broenlund's body was found in a
crevice near q depot. Beside II were
sketches showing tho work that had
been accomplished and also his diary,
in which was the following entry:
"Perished at - degrees under a
trial return over inland ice in Nov
ember. Arrival here under a decreas-
ing moon and cannot go on owing
to frozen feet and darkness. The bo-
dies of the others are in the middle
OF the ford. Hagen died November
10 and Myleus some ten days later.
Joergen Broenlund."
Only One Body Found.
"Broenlund was buried on the spot
where his body was found. 1t proved
impossible to find the bodies of the
others owing to the heavy snowfall.
Our three dead comrades had done
their duty and perished on the field
Of honor. We erected monument
for them at our haven-Fort Dem
mark. Everything possible was done
from the ship to succor them, but
1t was beyond human power.
"The course of the expedition was
as follows: August 18, 1906. north
east coast of Greenland. After diff
cult sailing through the ice our ship
reached u 1-2 degrees north latitude.
Depot stores were landed at n Ia
degrees. A haven for the ship was
found at 76 3-4 degrees and was call
ed Port Denmark. 1t was resolved to
remain here. In the autumn of 1906
sledge journeys were made in a
northerly direction to establish sledge
depots and prosecute scientific inves-
legations. A great sledge expedition
to the north with a view to the dis
covery of the unknown part of the
northeast coast of Greenland took
place in the spring of 1907 under
command of Myleus Erichsen. The
expedition consisted of ten sledges
In four patches. Three of these
patches returned before the summer.
"In September, 1907, rescue expe-
dition was sent out to find the batch
that had not returned. 1t found an
open sea at 80 degrees. In the course
Of the fall numerous sledge expedi-
tions were started and a new rescue
expedition set out in March, 1908. II
established the certainty of the fate
of the missing party. Several other
journeys were made in the course
of the spring, one over the inland ice
southwark to Ardencaple, Inla, an
other over the northernmost coast to
Cape Bridgemen at SO 1-2 degrees,
and into Peary Channel to Cape
Glacier. The coast line went far
more easterly than we expected. Con-
nection was obtained with Pearys
Landmark on Peary Land. and at Cape
Glacier the Danish flag was hoisted
and the country taken possession OF
for Denmark and called King Fred

LAW TAMPERED WITH
NEED FOR INTERVENTION IN
PANAMA SHOWN.

Probably by way OF preparing the public
mind for active intervention in Panama to
prevent electoral frauds and insure a free
expression of the will of the people at the
polls. the War Department today made
public copies of correspondence that has
been exchanged between this government
and that Of Panama relating to this sub
ject Secretary Taft wrote President
AmadOr. May II. that he had received
petitions which he believed to be cor
roborated. showing that fraud was about
to be perpetrated in the coming election,
and that President Roosevelt would not
permit Panama to pass into the hands of
any one so elected. Subsequently the
Panama government agreed to submit to
an inquiry at the hands of commission
appointed by this government, and tina:
commission is now at work
But the correspondence shows that four
governors Of provinces have been removed
because they are Arias men. and the cleo
tOral law has been otherwise tempered
with. The statement says: mo opinion
was expressed at the War Department
whether those circumstances were lead
ing to fraud requiring intervention. 1t
was said that the government could do
nothing but await the event and then
sum up the evidence and reach a cOnclu-
sion"
For about two and half hours today
Secretary Taft was in conference with
President Roosevelt. discussing the sit
uation in Panama. There would be little
surprise IL the United States should have
to step in to restore order. following a
revolt that is almost certain after the
election to be held July ~. II forced to
this step. the President may repeat in
Panama what has been done in Cuba.
despite the severe criticism that might
enSue.

Now Discussed.

CHICAGO. June 11.-With more than a
majority Of the contests filed before the
national republican committee wiped off
the books, and with Taft delegates to the
number of J04 already accredited to the
convention, interest in tOday's develop
ments centered in the makeup of the
convention committees ana the declara-
tons which will be contained in the plat
form of the party.
Attorney General Wade II. Ellis of Ohio
arrived in Chicago today, bringing with
him rough draft of a tentative platform
to be adopted by the national convention
Il cannot for obvious reasons. disclose
the character of the platform now" said
Gen. Ellis. but l believe that 1t will sat

popular demand at this time. Its scope
is wide, and l believe, broad enough to
satisfy popular wishes. and in my opin-
ion 1t will prove the best plat form that
any political party has sanctioned in re-
cent years"
Gen. Ellis said that he had consulted
President Roosevelt and Secretary of
War TAFT concerning the general details
Of the platform. and that II had met with
their Endorsement
The document. he said. needs round

changes. but in the main believe that it

The children had been left In a buggy

DELEGATES CHOOSE B1EBER.

man for District.

The credentials of Sidney Bieber as the
District Of Columbia member of the re-
publican national committee have been
forwarded to Chicago by Henry H.
Father and r.. r. Horner. the local dele
gates elected at the April primary here.
Following upon the receipt of thesa Gre
dentials at Chicago have come murmur-
ings OF discomfort that the District dele
gates should have selected Mr.. Bieber for
this honor.
But however that may he, he will get
ii just the same. Mr. Father told a Star
reporter this morning that inasmuch as
he and Mr.. Horner had selected Mr.
Bieber for the Office of national commit
teeman from the District. nobody else
had anything to say about it. Mr..
Father said, too, that there was no pos
sibility of him changing his mind and
favoring some one else. This wouldn't be
possible. he said. even II Mr.. Bieber's
credentials had not gone inland they
had.
Mr.. Horner talked to a Star reporter in
the same vein.
II am for Sidney Bieber first. last and
all the time he declared land don't

chance that I would favor any one else

the gentlemen say they are under pledge

They say il is an outrage to suggest
that they gave any promise to the For
