Paris, May 10.--Lieut LowenthaI
chief engineer OF Walter Welman' 5

declared today that the whole affair
was farce" or what he called Arc
tic American bluff adding:
The only serious member of the
expedition was Maj. Hersey, sent here
by the United States government for
the purpose of making meteorological
observations"
Lowenthal says he was sent in adj
vance to construct an arctic house
workshop, at station for wireless tele-
graphy. a ballon shed and apparatus
for making hydrogen gas, and took
the situation seriously until Wellman
arrived and four assistants. one of
them being a doctor, who offered to

tourists.
The instruments brought by Mai
Hersey for observations consisted OF
a registering barometer. which was
hung up among the hams and sau
sages; an anotomer. which was never
unpacked, and a compass. This com.
pass had one peculiarity-north stood
where south should be.
After inspecting these remarkable
Instruments. Lowenthal lost faith. The
engineer states that Wellman gave or.
ders to initiate the balloon, no matter
how. make an ascension and bring tho
balloon down in a neighboring glacier
saying:
I'VE must have something that can
be sinematographed," and the hero OF
the North Pole explained that he ha
arranged for a series of lectures in

hight and sixteen feet in length and
Is. to all practical intent, a mammoth

The only room in the quarters of
the Forest service large enough to

was accordingly driven out by the
workmen to make place for mount.

all who attend the conference.

each was six days and four nights,

AT this time Mrs Guinness had
been reyeicing letters from the brother
Of Andrew Helgelen inquirlng about
| his brother, and she knew that Hell

1908, to look for his brother. The sit,

something must bed one. The house

Think Children Murdered
Upon examination Of the children's
bodies it was found that the frontal

There are two reasonable theories
as to the cause and origin of the fire
One is that Mrs, Guinness, thinking
that Lamphere may have discovered

can occupy only one-half of the space

suit that his outer shoulder is usually
exposed to the drip and rain. To
remedy this defect, two inventors of
