Former Cowboy and Graduate
Of State University Will
Chase Rainbow
Makes Canoe Voyage to Polar
Regions to Study
| Natives

Boston, March 30-Victor Stafans-
son, the noted Harvard ethnologist,
will start next month on trip to
the Arctic regions in a row boat part
Of the way and the rest in an Eskimo
canoe, without any equipment except
rifle, fishing tackle and nets. He
will subsist upon the country, in
military parlance, while studying the
language and tribal customs of the
Eskimos and Indian tribes above the
Arctic circle in the delta of the Mac
kenzie river, who have never before
been visited by the white men.
Only one white man, a naturalist
from the American Museum of Nat
ural History, will accompany him.
Mr.. Stefansson will carry a few files,
needels and knives as gifts for the
natives, but aside from these he will
not carry supplies. He expects to
find plenty of game during his entire
trip.
Prof. Stefensson was formerly a
cowboy in North Dakota and Mon
tana and is a graduate from the
North Dakota State University. He
came from there to Harvard. He
has twice made trips to Iceland, and
roughing it out of doors is nothing
new for him.

New York, N. Y, March 3O.-Ef-
forts of the police to connect Selig

thrower, with groupes Of anarchists
have been successful, but thus far
they have been unable to prove that
his sensational act Of Saturday was
prompted in any way by these as

Cured today, after the arrest Of
Alexander Berkman, the anarchist
leader, and companion Of Emma

half years in prison for shooting

talist
The detectives showed, when
Berkman was arraigned in court that
Silverstein held card of member
ship in the anarchists federation
union of which Berkman is treasurer
and this card was signed by Berk-
man, but their attempt to show that
Berkman knew Silverstein or that he
and his friends in any way directed
or melted the bomb throwing was

| The police asked Magistrate
| Droege, before whom Berkman was
arranged, to hold the anarchist for
forty-eight hours as suspicious
person but in the absence of any
definite charge, the magistrate re
fused their request. The magistrate
paroled Berkman on his own recog

Story Of the Crime.
Auburn, N. Y, March 30.-The
crime for which Chester e. Gillette
was sentenced to forfeit his life in
the electric chair in the Auburn
prison today, was the murder of his
sweetheart, Grace Brown, near Big
Moose in the Adriondacks on July
II, 1906. Gillette was convicted on
circumstantial evidence after SEN
sational trial in which the pathetic
love letters of "Billy" Brown, as the
girl was famililiarly known among
her associates, to Gillette, played an
important part. The girl who per-
ished in the waters of Big Moose
lake, had trusted Gillette to make
amends for the wrong he had done
her by making her his wife, and
! her letters which were found in the
young mans room after his arrest
at Eagle Bay have been considered
by many as classic in their simple
ity and their tender pleading for the
right that was due her.
Her last letter to her lover, written
a few days before her fatal trip to
Big Moose, was particularly pathet-

ireland Self Control

London, March 30-The house of
commons tonight, after a lengthy de-
\ bate on the question of home rule
for ireland, adopted by a vote of
313 to 157 the resolution moved by
John r. Redmon, the nationalist
leader, that Sin the opinion of this
house the solution of this problem
can only be attained by giving the
Irish people legislative and executive
control OF all purely Irish affairs"
After the resolutions had been
amended by adding the words "all
subject to the authority Of the inn
perial parliament"
1t was known before hand that the
debate could have but an academic
interest, because the government had
already pledged that there would be
no deal in the matter of home rule
until it had been given the mandate
at the general election. But the de-
bate was made notable by a strong
declaration of Chancellor Asquith,
which was ali the weightier because

Auburn, N. Y, Mar. Colchester E.
Gillette today paid. the full penalty
Z for the brutal murder of Grace Brown.
He went to his death in the electric
chair in Auburn prison without a
sign of weakness and with the SAME
lack Of emotion which has character
lied him from the day he was arrest
ed charged with the crime. Gillette
appeared to have been fully reconciled
to his fate and statement given out
by his spiritual adviser Immediately
after the execution indicated that he
had made confession of his guilt.
Gillette himself, so far as the public
was concerned, never admitted his
crime. His last word in the form of a
statement which he prepared with
painstaking care last night, was made
public after he had been put to death
this mornins In this statement Gill
lette implotd young men to lead
Christian liy
The electl ocution lacked much of
the solemnity of former executions
and during most OF the time, except
for a brief space when the electric
current was coursing through the
mans body, there was hum of voic
es in conversation. This grew SO
marked that during the time the phys.
icians were making examination Of the

necessary to pound on the tile COW

The current was 1900 volts at ~
amperes, and it was held on one min

the mans heart was made, but there
was no sign Of life.

cused his opponents of speaking with
two meanings, a radical meaning
and nationalist meaning. He ask
ed how it was possible to carry out
great Irish reforms with British
money except by British parliament
and ironically challenged Mr.. AS
quith to clear up this ambiguity.
Amid ironical unionist laughter Mr..
Asquith arose and said that never in
his life had he felt less embarrassed.
For over twenty years he and his
colleagues had steadily and constant
ly advocated self government with
respect TO Ire1and's purely local af-
fairs. He held that opinion now as
strongly as ever. He could not, how
ever, support Mr.. Redmon's notion
in its present form because he found
in it no recognition of imperial sup
remacy and because no parliament
would be justified in embarking on
such task unless the matter had
first been submitted to the elector-
ate. It would be gross and mex
cusable violation Of their promises
to do SO in the lifetime of the pres
ent parliament.

A writer in the Burlington Free Press
OF yesterday enters the Montpelier semi

The following communication yesterday:
ITO the Editor of the Press Press:
have been very much interested in the
reports, which have appeared in the Free
prss OF the controversy between the
Montpelier schools, the seminary and
the high school. over athletic relations.
This interest has been aroused because
last spring | managed base ball team
which had athletic relations with both
Goddard and Montpelier seminary.
As to my dealing with the two teams
will say that | was treated very fairly
by the Goddard team and the seminary
team, while we were on their grounds.
But when it came to the return game,
NJ 3, treated my team real dirty can
ceiling according to the schonlmaster's
club rules less than % hours before the
game. AS for the teams that these
schools put on the field, | will say that
both, to my knowledge, contained men
who. most call professionals, as
they were not purely amateurs, but
could play under the rules or at least
did play, while their former records re-
manned unquestioned by the faculties of
these institutions Had the faculties of
these schools examined carefully the past
records OF some of the men on their
teams, ! am sure there would have been
different men in the line up of each
schools team,
/ u became convinced last spring during
base ball season that something like this
would happen when / saw the two teams
as they lined up on different days against
our team. After being told by members
OF both teams the records of some of
their players, | realized how we were
handicapped by having some of our best
players at home because of studies,
while those down in studies were play
ing on the opponents teams.
Il believe that this controversy has
come to show the schools, especially the
high schools and academies, long felt
need The remedy for the controversy
aud the need is Identical The high
schools of this state need an athletic
association which will bring together the
schools and establish firm set of rules
which the association would see were en-
forced on all its members.
Such an association could easily be
formed by representatives of the leading
schools meeting and forming such an
association For representatives there
would be member OF the faculty and
scholar particularly interested in ath-
latics. AT such meeting set Of rules,
rigid enough to encourage clean sport

trouble in schools to-day.
