BOYLE IN FEAR OF VIOLENCE
kidnapper Taken to Sharon, Pa, for
Preliminary Hearing.

Preliminary Hearing.
Mercer, Pa, March 3O.-The pre-
Uminary hearing in. Sharon and safe
return to the Mercer Jail of James Fl.
Boyle and a report that his woman
companion may entirely escape prison
and soon regain her liberty are the
latest developments in the Whitla
kidnapping case.
No one but James Boyle had any
fears for his safety when he was
taken to Sharon for arraignment, but
he was badly frightened. Necvously
begging the officers for protection, he
faced crowd of hundreds of persons
attracted merely by curiosity and is
happier in his cell than he has been
since his arrest. Dreading the return
to his home town, Boyle was nervous
all night and slept little He was
scarcely able to murmur the words
waving a hearing in the courtroom
and almost collapsed at the station
when 500 persons surrounded the pa
troll wagon where he was awaiting the
arrival Of the train for Mercer. Al
though the weather was cold: he wiped
big beads of perspiration from his
forehead when the train pulled out
and he told the sheriff he was thank
full to be back in his cell again.
The opinion is spreading among the
people of this county that Mrs. Boyle
will not be prosecuted, but that she
soon will be entirely eliminated from
the case and be allowed to depart.
There Is said to be no local proof
whatever to connect her with the alb

EGYPTIANS HEAR PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Taft Stops at Cairo on His Way
Down Mississippi River.

Cairo, ILL.,, Oct 26-When the presi-
dental flotilla arrived at Cairo at
noon today the levee slope was black
with crowd of people estimated at
$4,000. EvWy bit of available space
was taken by persons determined to
hear and see the nations chief. Many
of them had been waiting there since
daylight. The fleet made an impos-
ing appearance and was greeted with
cheers. The Oleander swung in
against the wharf boat, and as the
president stepped from the upper deck
to the latter vessel regiment of in
fantry and a battery of the National
Guard fired the presidential salute.
A stand had been built on the lower
stage of the wharf boat, and stand
ing there, facing the great throng of
people, Mr.. Taft spoke for about ten
minutes. He was introduced by Gov
Deneen, of Illinois. AT one o'clock
after luncheon with Mayor Parsons
and other distinguished citizens, the
| president resumed his trip, his next
stop being at Hickman, KY, late this
afternoon.

fore and we knew that with a ready
line and careful watchfulness there
was no great danger. A cold bath,
however, In that temperature, forty
degrees below, could have had some
serious consequences. In two crossings
all our supplies were safely landed on
the north shores, and from there the
lead had a more picturesque effect.
For time this huge separation in
the pack was a mystery to me. AT
first sight there seemed to be no good
reason for its existence. Peary had
found a similar break north of Robe
son channel. 1t seemed likely that
what we saw was an extension of the
same lead following at distance the
general trend of the northernmost land
extension.
This is precisely what one finds on
a smaller scale wherever two ice packs
come together. Here we have the pack
of the central polar sea meeting the
land ice. The movement of the land
pack is intermittent and usually along
the coast. The shadows, grounded ice
and projecting points interfere with n
steady drift. The movement of the
central pack is quite constant and al
most in every direction.
The tides, the currents and the
winds each give momentum to the
floating mass. This lead is the break
ing line between the two bodies of ice

rows or widens with an easterly OF

becomes active, it may disappear or
shift to line nearer the land.
New Ice Stops Drift.
In low temperature new ice forms
rapidly, and this offers an obstruction
to the drift of the old ice. AS the
heavy central ice is pressed against
the unyielding land pack the small ice
Is ground up. and even heavy foes are
crushed. This reduced mass of small
ice is pasted and cemented along the
shores of the big lead, leaving a broad
band of troublesome surface as seri-
GUS barrier to sled travel. 1t seems
quite likely that this lead, or condi-
tion similar to it, extends entirely
around the polar sea as a buffer be-
tween the land and the middle pack.
