In the Canadian Northwest, says
Popular Mechanics, it is not unusual to
see houses transported long distances
by train or towed across the many
large lakes on scows, as the frontier
Canadian usually takes his house with
him when in search of new place to
locate If transportation facilities make
it possible.

right hand crumbled up. The first two
fingers, from the large knuckles to the
wrist, were broken into mass or
splinters. He had still two sound bones
in that hand. F'itzsimmons turned it
sideways and struck with the knuckles
of the third and little fingers. But the
battering ram effect had gone from that
shattered hand Now ne had to de-
pend almost entirely upon his left. And
with the left he hooked and hammered
away. He had only one hope now

Kansas City. Kan, Oct. 91.-James McMahon. confessed murderer of his two sisters. Rosa McMahon and Mar garet Van Royen, and his brother-in- law. Alonzo Van Royen, has com. menced serving life sentence in the Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing. He is now known as No. 3555. He pleaded guilty to murder on all three charges and technically is under three life sentences.
 McMahon was arraisned on three separate charges of fifst degree mur- der within ten minuIas before Judge Hugh Smith in the Wyandotte Court of common pleas Only once, when an swering the charge of mLfdering his sister Rosa, who was his favori,e. did he show any emotion Then his voice faltered as he answered guilty and tears stood in his eyes. Each of the three charges was read to him ana each time Joseph Taggart the prose. cutting attorney asked:
 What do you answer, guilty or not guilty?"
 Guilty was the reply in faint voice.
 It was late In the afternoon that Jim' determined to plead guilty to the charges that he had confessed to Tuesday and go to the pcnitentiary last night. After the sentenee was pro. nounced he was placed on q trolley car
 
 and hurried to Lansing.
 When l..

GOMPER NEAR CELL
SENTENCE OF LOWER COURT CONFIRMED BY COURT OF AP-
 PEALs IN CONTEMPT CASE.
MAY BE NO FURTHER RECOURSE
Right to Appeal to Supreme Court of United States Is Matter of Contro- versy, but Attempt Win be Made by Labor Leaders.

Washington. Nov. 3--Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, Is step nearer pris- on today. The sentence consigning him to six months Imprisonment. along with John Mitchell, vice-presi- dent, and Frank Morrison secretary of the organization, has been affirmed by the District Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia.
 It is not certain that there is any further recoarse to prevent the iniic- tion of the punishment. An attempt will be made to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. but the right to make such an appeal is mat ter of controversy. Some attorneys hold that as this decision finds the con tempt of court with which they were charged to have been criminal of fense the court of appeals would have the last say in the matter, as 1t has of all criminal cases in the district. Others. however, contend that as the constitutional right of free speech and liberty of the press is involved the labor leaders may prosecute an appeal.
 No action will be taken towards the arrest of the men until the matter of the appeal has been determined.
 Chief Justice Sheppard dissented from todays decision on constitutional grounds.
 The court held that the fundamental 4t..x4t. x...I agencies of the government should be obeyed or defied. The mere fact that the defendants were the officers of organized labor in America, said the court, lent importance to the cause and added to the gravity of the situa- ticn, but 1t should not be permitted to influence the result.
 If an organization of citizens. how ever large,' the court held, may dis obey the mandates of the court the same reasoning would render them subject to individual defiance Both are subject to the law and neither is above it.'
 The action of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in sentencing Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison to twelve, nine and six months imprison- ment in jail, respectively. was the re- suit of the failure of these three de- fendants to obey the order of the court directing them 10 desist from placing the Bucks Stove and Range Go. of St. Louis on their Unfair List in the prosecution of their boycott against the corporation.
 While the name of the corporation was removed from the unfair list of the federation. Gompers and Mitchell continued to keep alive the boycott by frequent reference to 1t in the Feder' ationist, official organ of the fodera' ton.

PERSONALLY EXPLAINS DATA
Public Statement of Findings. of So. ciety to be Published Immediately Lecture to be at Washington on November f2 Next.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Commander Robert k. Peary practically was in. dorsed as discoverer of the North Pole by the National Geographic so- ciety.
 Every indication shows that Pcarys personal statement before the sub committee of the society convinced it's members that he had set foot on the top of the world. The explorer has been invited to deliver the first of his public lectures before the society here November l2. and it was pointed out that had the proofs been open to the slightest question he never would have been asked to appear.
 It was announced at the home of Rear Admiral c. H. Chester, retired, that a public statement of the findings of the society would probably be out Wednesday. This rapidly iii determin ing the genuineness of Peary's claim that he reached the pole on April 6, last, Is taken to mean that there Is no difference among the three experts who are diving into his Arctic data Peary declined positively to discuss the testimony he gave before the com mittee.
 There Is nothing that can say" he declared. "All that have to ex- plain or elucidate was given to the subcommittee of the Geographic so- ciety. don't know what those gen tlemen will do with 1t. ard, naturally. 1 wc.4t discuss that point"
 The members of the subcommittee are regarded by the society as the best fitted scientists in the United States to pass upon the documents presented by Peary.
