WINDS IN POLAR REGIONS.
Shackleton Party's Experience Dis
courages Hopes of Balloon Voyages.

Special Cablegram to The Star
LONDON. July 1O.-The members of the
Shackleton polar expedition have supplied
valuable data as to the nature and power
of the wind in the region of the south
pole. This seems to be of such force on
frequent occasions as to show little pos
siblity of modern aerial vessels being
successfully employed in eXploratio
work. 1t cannot be taken as proven,
however. that the same conditions will
prevail in the north polar region. The di-
rection OF the wind may be favorable and
thus will actually help an airship to reach
its goals. But the impression conveyed by
the experiences of Lieut.. Shackleton is
that the modern dirigibe is not yet eff
cient enough to be used for such work
and thus very slight hope can be enter
tanned for the success of Mr.. Weilman in
his expedition to the north pole.
One of the most novel contriyances in
connection with his vessel Is the arrange
ment whereby, if necessary. a part of the
hydrogen gas in the balloon can be used
as fuel in the engine instead of petrol.
MIR. Wellmans ship, being OF the non-rigid
type, is naturally slow, and this defect
will tell very heavily against it if strong
winds are encountered.

COURTS REACH AN AGREEMENT
CONFLICT IN SAVANNAH, GA,
TERMINATES.
Judges Speer and Charlton Let
State Supreme Tribunal Decide
Jurisdiction.

SAVANNAH, Ga, July 1O.-Conflict be-
tween federal and state courts, which was
threatened in connection with the assets
of the Electrical Supply Company, has
been averted by the agreement of Fed
eral Judge Speer and State Judge Charl-
ton today to refer the case at issue to
the supreme court of Georgia for adjudi-
cation.
Some Of the creditors of the company
had appealed to Judge Charlton and he
had named as receiver w. V. Davis.
Other creditors applied to the federal
court for an order in bankruptcy and
Judge Emory Speer named United States
Marshal White receiver.
Does not Recognize Jurisdiction.
Judge Charlton declined to recognize
the jurisdiction of federal officials and
ordered his receiver to refuse to obey
Judge Speer's- writ He further instruct
ed Davis to put armed guards over the
property and to resist the attempts of
Marshal White with force, if necessary.
Thereupon Judge Speer cited Davis for
contempt.
Then Judge Speer proposed to Judge
Charlton that he agree to order Re-
ceiver Davis to hold intact all the COM
pany's property until the supreme court
of the state could pass on the question OF
jurisdiction and that the citation of con-
tempt be recalled. Judge Charlton
agreed to the proposal and Judge Speer
suspended his rule against the receiver.

CURE FOR SLEEPING SICKNESS
SERUM DISCOVERED rs ABSO-
Lutte SPECIFIC.
Discovery Made by Rockefeller In.
stitute Of Medical Research
and Kept Secret.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 1O.-The John d.
Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research
believes il has discovered an absolute cure
for African sleeping sickness.
No announcement will be made to the
scientific world until experts who have
been commissioned to subject the dis
covery TO the severest tests have reported
favorably upon il. The news of this dis
covery OF world wide Importance came out
today in only the most accidental way.
Two staff officers of the Rockefeller In
stitute of Medical Research called at No.
&c Broadway, Standard Oil headquarters,
10 convey, through officers Of the company.
the news to Mr.. Rockefeller of their salts
faction with the experiments thus far
made with the discovery. As they were
leaving the building they discussed the
subject
Their talk was overheard by persons
whose presence was not noted. When the
scientists were asked about II they showed
great embarrassment and refused TO give
a definite answer TO the questions poured
in upon them.
One of them finally asserted 1t was a
fact that the Rockefeller Society for Med
ical Research, in collaboration with a
German scientist of worldwide fame. had
succeeded in compounding powder from
which serum is made that cures the
ditdu ScouTSt OF tne AFRICAN JunSleS.
They declined to go any further into de-
tails.
50 embarrassed were they that they de-
ciIned TO give their names. They spoke
very positively, however, as to the Ger
Iainty Of the discovery.
One or them said the serum already had
been successfully used in those parts OF
Africa where the sleeping sickness is
most common. and that the German sa-
want who had collaborated with the
Rockefeller society had reported, after
carefully applying the cure himself, that
there could be no doubt OF its efficacy.
The claim is made that the serum is as
pronounced specific for the African dis
ease as anti-toNin is for diphtheria.
The powder is a light brown II is dis
solved in ten to twelve parts of water
and hypodermicaliy administered The
patient begins to show Improvement in a
within three days.
Fhts statement reluctantly was made by
one Of the Rockefeller scientists, who
aided:
This discovery means the solution of
the African problem. It will open the
way for white immigration and civiliza-
ton In the dark continent
For this reason nothing more impor-
taltt 10 the modern world has happened
than the demonstration beyond perad-
venture of the efficacy of our serum
