ONCE MILLIONAIRE, NOW PAUPER
John ii. Deane, Giyer to Churches,
PenniieSS.

New York, August 2.-Supposedly
wealthy and possessing large blocks
of stocks, John r. Deane, lawyer and
real estate operator, whose contribu-
ton several years ago Of 100000 t.
the plate collection of Calvary Baptist
church created a sensation, is penni-
less today, according to his own state
ment.
Deane made the admission in a sup
Elemental proceeding which has been
adjourned to next week, when he will
be questioned at considerable length
as to how he has become so greatly
reduced in financial circumstances.
He was always noted as being gen
erous with his money, making a gift
some time ago of 100000 to the Uni
versity of Rochester, of which he is
graduate, and $4,000 to the building
fund Of Calvary church. He paid the
salary Of Rev. Edward Judson, of the
Berean Baptist church, out of his own
pocket in 1881.
Todays supplemental proceedings
were brought by Philip NJ Lantz who
has an old judgment for $4,000 against
Deane, growing out of the failure
years ago of the Home Material Com
pany, in which he was a director.
Deane said he could not pay the obi
cation, as his possessions consisted of
the clothes he wore and 81 in cash.
He added that he lives in the house
owned by his wife and owes her more
than a years rent.
He admitted that there were judg-
ments against him aggregating about
100000. The American Baptist Home
Mission Society has a claim of $780,
600.

COURTS DO NOT UPHOLD LAWS,
Labor Contract Cases Reversed il
Court of Appeals.

The state court of appeals has just
reversed two convictions which were
brought about under the contract
labor law of 1903, which MAKES Il a
misdemeanor for farm labCrers ar
any person to secure advances of
money or supplies fraudulentiy under
promise 10 Wo3'y for the pc son max
ing the ad apces and then - fail to
perform the labor. The cl!es were
those Of Walters & Roberts VS.. The
State, each of whom was convicted
under this law and given a chain
gang sentence. OF the numerous
cases under this law which have
been before the appellate court, in
not one has a conviction yet been af-
frmed. 1t appears to be a difficult
matter clearly to establish fraudulent
intent in these transactions, and the
court of appeals holds that in the alb
sence of positive and unquestionable
evidence of fraudulent intent, con-
yictions under this law cannot stand.

Increase to District Schools.

The Appropriations Committee has
recommended comparatively few spe-
cial appropriations. About the only
ones of any consequence are $4,000
for investigating and fighting the dis
ease of cotton known as black root,
and $4,000 to give each OF the agri-
cultural schools of the state $4,000 in
addition to the $4,000 year they now
receive from fertilizer inspection fees.
The State Board of Health gets $21,-
500 to cover all expenses, and the state
troops are given only $4,000 annually
for the next two years. The militia
was anxious to get an increase in this
fund, but there does not seem any
present hope for it,

Increases Are for Schools.

Practically the only increase which
the House Committee has made in ap-
preparations as compared with last
year are in the amounts given for the
maintenance of eIeemosynary institu-
lions of higher education. A substan-
tial increase is also recommended in
the common school fund for 1911, for
which year the figure is put at $500
600, while the appropriation for 1919
IS $2,5OO,O00, the same as at present.
The appropriations made for the
support and maintenance of the ex-
ecutive, legislative and judicial de-
partments of the state government are
approximately the same as for the last
two years. The most important change
made, perhaps, is that cutting the Gov
ernor'5 contingent fund from $4,000
to $4,000, the latter amount be-
ing all that Gov. Brown asked for.
The state sanitarium at Milledge-
vile was given a small increase in
its maintenance fund, the total being
$424,422 for 1910 and $430, 1892 for 1911.
The Confederate Soldiers Home is
given an appropriation of $25 900

Atlanta, August 2.-The House of
Representatives will devote the
greater portion of its time this week
to the consideration of the general ap-
preparations bill which comes up inn
mediately following the passage of
the general tax bill 1t remains to
be seen whether the House will be as
keen about holding down appropria-
tons as it was cutting down the spe-
cific taxes reported by the Ways and
Means Committee.
The General Assembly has long
been charged with holding down taxes
while it boosts appropriations, despite
the effort of leaders to make it cut
it's garment according to the cloth.
1t is noted that the total appropria-
lions Committee this year are approx
imately 100000 less than those put
through by the first session of the last
General Assembly.
Still it is possible the General AS
sembly may try to put through some
appropriations which the committee
has failed to recommend. 1t has a
way of doing that at times, although
the recommendations of the committee
usually carry great weight

bowlder of pemmican we crept out OF
the bags. The shivering legs were
pushed through bearskin cylinders,
which served as trousers; the feet were
worked into frozen boots, and then we
climbed into fur coats, kicked the front
out Of the snow house and danced
about to start the fires of the heart.
Quickly the camp furnishings were
tossed on the sleds and securely lash
ed down. The dog traces were gath
cred into the drag lines, and with a
vigorous snap of the long whip the
willing creatures bent to the shoulder
straps. The sleds groaned, and the I'M

pace.

The stamp Of reality had given place
to a wave of curious mirages. Some
peaks seemed like active volcanoes;
others rose to exaggerated heights and
pierced the changing skies with multi
pie spires like church steeples. Alto
gether this unexpected panorama Of
the upper surface Of Grant Land under
the influence Of optical illusions gave
US considerable entertainment.
At every breathing spell the heads
turned to the land, and every look gave
a new prospect. From belching volca-

tie the mirage gave suggestive bits Of
scenes, but a more desolate line Of
coast could not be imagined.
Low wind swept and ice polished
mountains were separated by valleys
filed with great depths Of snow and
ice. This interior accumulation moved
slowly to the sea, where it formed "a

that of heavy sea ice; hence the name
of the fragments from this glacier, foe

Ono Degree In Three Days.
BY dead reckoning our position was
latitude 50 degrees q minutes, longi-
ture 95 degrees Ia minutes. A study
of the ice seemed to indicate that we
had passed beyond the zone Of ice
crushed by the influence of land pres
sure Behind were great hummocks
and small fee; ahead was a cheerful
expanse Of larger foes. Using the ac-
cumulated vigor Of man and beast, we
had advanced a degree of latitude In
three days. Our destination was about
400 miles beyond.
But our life had assumed quite an
other aspect. Previously we permit
ted ourselves some luxuries A pound
Of coal oil and good deal Of musk OK
tallow were burned each day to heat
the igloo and to cook abundant food.
Extra meals were served when an oc-
casion called for it, and each man ate
and drank all he desired. If the stock
ings or the mittens were wet there
was fire enough to dry them out. But
all of this must now be changed.
There was a short daily allowance
Of food and fuel-one pound of pemmf-
can per day for the dogs, about the
same for the men, with just taste Of
other things. Fortunately, we were
we'll stuffed for the race with fresh
meat in the lucky run through game
lands. a
At first no great hardship followed
the changed routine. We filed up suf-
ficiently on two cold meals and used
superfluous bodily tissue. 1t was no
longer possible to jump on the sled
for an occasional breathing spell. as
we had done along the land. With
overloaded sleds the drivers must push
and pull at the sleds to aid the dogs,
and searched the troubled ice for an:
easy route, cutting here and there with
the Ice AZ to permit the passing Of the
sleds. aa
Stripped For the Race. 4
We are finally stripped for the race.
Man and dog must walk along togeth-,
er through storms and frost for that
elusive pivot. Success or failure de-:
pended mostly upon our ability to-
transport nourishment and to keep up
the muscular strength for prolonged
period. ,...... ..-....-.........
