LOST MAN FOUND

Orange, Tex, May 26.-After a remarkable experience in Arkan- sas Henry Webb is with his friends and relatives again and his mind that for days was a blank is becoming accustomed to what were formerly familiar sur roundings. For weeks he had been missing when a telephone mes sage from McNeil, Ark, near TeNarkana was received here asking If such a person was miss ing from here. 1t was. then real ized that the missing man had been located and his daughter was put in telephone communica- ton with the Arkansas persons and arrangements made to bring Webb back here.
 Webb will be placed in a sani- tarium where he has twice be- fore been confined during temp orary mental aberrations and his recovery is looked for.
 He, 1t develops arrived in Me- Neil one night early this month and entering a hotel said he did not know who he was. and asked that an effort be made to estab- fish his identity. He said he knew he was from Texas but that was all the aid he could give those who sought to help him.
 He was well dressed and man of apparent culture His cloth ing was marked with the initials Ht A. w, and he wore a Masonic emblem. The Masons of McNeil took care of him. A number of Texas towns were named over to him and when Orange was men tioned a flash of memory light ened his mind for a moment and he declared that was his home. This fact was soon proved and the suspense of his family relieved

Liberals Aid in Forcing Cabinet Out
But Do Not Wish to Take Respon-

co-Maura Cabinet in Power Since
January, 1907.

Madrid, Oct. 21.-The Spanish cabi-
net, headed by Premier Maura, re-
signed this afternoon.
The cabinet which resigned today
was formed Jan. %, 1907. Preceding the
formation Of this cabinet there had
been no less than five liberal minis
tried in eighteen months. The religious
issue had been the rock on which these
ministries were wrecked, and the as
cension to power of Senior Maura,
who had before held the premiership,
was regarded as sweeping victory for
revolutionary spirit. This proved to be
the case, the opposition finally uniting
against the governments conduct and
furtherance of the war in Morocco.
Stern measures taken to put down
the recent anti-war demonstrations in
Spain tended to inflame the opposition
and the execution of Ferrer, followed
by popular demonstration of disap-
proval, brought matters to a crisis
When parliament reopened the liber-
ais republicans and socialists bitterly
assailed the government, but the cab
met showed disposition to fight for
its life There was a violent scene in
the deputies yesterday when the oppo-
sition, headed by Prendergast, former
premier, renewed its attack upon the
government minister Of the interior
Lacierva, however declared the minis
try would not resign under threats and
it was then believed that while Moret
was determined to unhorse Premier
Maura, the liberals, as distinguished
from the republicans and socialists, did
not desire to assume power, as under
the circumstances they would then be.
come responsible for the expenditures
involved in the war in Morocco.
The fall Of the cabinet was regarded
inevitable after the bitter speech o
Minister of the Interior Lacierva in th'
deputies last night, during which h
classed the liberals with the republi
| cans and socialists who were arraye
against the throne. Today King AL
fonso summoned Premier Maurat an.

found dead, with his throat slashed
from ear to ear, on the seat of his We
hicle at Lyons, a suburb of Chicago,
today. There is a suspicion of murder.
altho his money was not taken. A
butchers knife( covered with blood,
was found under the seat where it had
fallen, and from the fact that $25 which
Brockmeyer carried with him was in
tact, it was first believed that the case
was one of suicide, but the knife was
found to be so dull and multilated that
the coroner said it would have been
impossible for Brockmeyer to have in
flicted the wound himself. The in
quest was adjourned for a week.

hagen at the beginning of November
'"That Cook was away from Anoritok
since January or February, 1905, until
the spring of 1909 is a fact. The start
of the expedition and the route from
Anoritok took place, according to the
Eslsimos, exactly at the time given BY
Cook The expedition was sent over
Ellesmere land and thru the sound
which separates, that land from Hell
berg land. away from the shore and
out on the actual polar sea, the ice
helping the sledges.
Only Cook and two men, .Ahpelan
and 1tookashoo, continued after they
reached the polar ice, and the little
party had gone directly to the north
The two men knew there that the goal
was the pole The direction was we'll
known to them thru Peary's many ex-
peditions, in which most of the men
of the tribe at one time or another had
taken part.
while Peary used to start from
North Point, Grants Land Cook Sc
lected the western route because he,
on the basis of ,Peary's observations,
expected to find better ice conditions
a SQppoSllAOIl tulilSt OQI
to be correct, so the Eskimos who know
conditions north Of Grants Land say.
Friends of Ahpehah and Itookashoo
assert that the expedition had good ice
and good weather and that the ice be-
came better the farther they went out
on the polar sea.
'How far has the expedition been
from the shore? The Eskimos, of
course, cannot give the distance in fig
ures, but they tell that the journey over
the ice field from the shore extended so
long that the sun began to appear,
stood high in the sky, and at last didn't
disappear at all, SO that it was almost
summer before they reached land
again.
Furthermore, they have told that 1t
was autumn before they decided on go
ing to the winter quarters and before
they tried to make the return journey
to Anoritok
"These statements, therefore, amount
to the same as Cooks, who gives Sep
tember as the month IN which he de-
cided to go into winter quarters at
Cape Sparbo on the south side of Jones
sound"
