committed in the Azores islands, the
trial being conducted with a proxy as
principal, was released from federal
prison today and Immediately rearrest-

The unique case, which has puzzled
the government officials for three
months, was called for hearing today
before United States Commissioner E.
H. Heacock. Had counsel for the Por-
tuguese consul produced extradition pa
pers, Do Amaral would have been de-
ported at once to suffer the consequences
of his alleged crime. His would have
been the first extradition under the new
treaty between Portugal and the United
States. But the prisoners influential

MUST TAKE WORD
OF EXPLORERS
No Physical Evidence That
Either Peary or Cook
Reached Pole.

-. San Francisco, Oct. I'm an address
before the Commonwealth club today,
f. F. Taylor, formerly of the Greeley
relief expedition, and a member Of the
Arctic club of New York, reviewed the
statements of DIT. Frederick A. Cook
and Commander Robert +. Peary in re-
gard to their having reached the north
pole. He quoted from a book b. Peary
10 show that the only evidence that eX-
plorer gave on a previous occasion he
had reached 81 degrees 6 minutes north
latitude, was the statement that these
figures were the result of a rapid CalCu-
lation from his observations, and de-
clared that it was inconsistent for Peary
TO demand physical evidence from DR..
Cook that the latter had reached the
crest of the earth.
There is no physical evidence" said
Mr.. Taylor, land a set of observations
can be faxed in an hour. The discovery
of the north pole rests upon the honor
of the men who seek il. The only way
a doubter can learn for himself is to
make the trip"

SUSPECTED OF HAVING
DESIGNS ON TAFT'S LIFE

Lowell, Mass, Oct. ARTHUR G.
Wright, who was arrested in Portland.
Ore, today on suspicion of having de-
signs on the life of President Taft, was
born in Chelmsford Center, five miles
from here, twenty-eighJ years ago. His
father owns a large farm and is a real
estate dealer in Chelmsford.
Arthur C, Wright lived at home until
three years ago, when he went to Sc
attic. He visited his parents last sum-
mer, and it is understood he had taken
up the occupation of a draughtsman.
Wright's father says that several years
ago Arthur caused to be published a re-
port that he had committed suicide for
the purpose Of seeing what effect it
would have.
Young Wright was never connected
with the Lowell police department, and
it is not known how a Lowell police
badge came into his possession.

cratic and one Republican candidate for
the council will be endorsed by both par
ties.
On a somewhat similar basis. two years
ago, fusion cOuncilmanic tickets were
voted for in the different wards These
tickets were successful in defeating the
Americans in some of the wards. Flu
sion candidates for the council were chOs-
en- two years ago in the First Third and
Fourth wards, while in the Second ward
the Americans beat the Republican and
Democratic fusion ticket by only a few
votes This year the advocates of fusion
believe they are able to elect the fusion
ticket over the BransfOrd American tick
ct with considerable ease.
The different city committees will de-
eide finally on the question of fusion and
if they decide favOrably arrangements for
putting the fusion ticket on both the
Democratic and Republican official bal
lots will be made at once. It is under
stood that all Of the candidates on all
three tickets favor a fusion ticket, and
each is willing to resign from his ticket
in order that the fusion may be accom-
plished.
Practically the only opposition to a fu-
sion ticket IS to be found with some Re
publicans, who believe that there is a GER
tainty Of success with straight Repub-
Iican ticket and who feel that fusion
would be detrimental to the party Organi-
cation.

Discussion of Issue.
The committees were not empowered to

the meeting was confined to discussion
Of the issues to be met this fall and the
best method of meeting them All OF
those at the meeting were apparently
strongly in favor of a fusion ticket. Each

If the plan of fusion is accomplished

fusion OF both the Democratic and Re
