Discovery Seems UnimpOrtant

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The most important news of Septem-
ber is the reported finding of the north
pole by both Cook and Peary.
1t is important for the reason that
many prominent men have been try
ing to reach the pole for years, without
success.
What the scientific world has gained
remains to be seen. At present we
have the satisfaction of knowing that
man has probably reached the apex of
the earth, but even of this there is no
absolute proof.
Two men claim the honor of having
reached the pole, almost at the same
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-17

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I THINK the discovery of the north
pole is the greatest event that has
Il hanpened in September.

seen around the village where he lodg.

"The former sultan" the cores

Mad with dispair and jealousy. he
shot dead his favorite, beautiful

Certain that the end of his reign
had come, the sultan had been in

however, learned of the danger that

WHITE WOMAN IS
 JAILED IN MACON

Macon, Ga. July 15.-Jennie Smith, a young and rather handsome white wom- an, recently arrived here from New York, who yesterday precipftated a near riot when she exclaimed on a crowded street corner here in reply to the criticisms Of woman companion that a certain negro man was 'as much a gentleman as any southern white man." was today sen fenced to a term in the city stockade on a charge of disorderly conduct. On the same charge her negro friend" Miles Reid. was given 90 days at hard labor. On more serious charge each was bound over to the superior court, bonds being fixed at s1OO0, which neither was able to furnish.
 Reid and the woman were this morning arrested together in a room.
 A feature of the case is that the older negroes of the community, appreciating the feeling that would be aroused as soon as the acts of the pair became known to the whites, and fearing lest a riot would follow, endangering the lives of innocent negroes as well, took hand in having the couple brought to trial. Yes terday 1t was necessary for the police to protect the woman from mob of 50 or more, and last night and today there was talk of lynching. There Is still much bit ter feeling against the woman and Reid.

GOVERN MENT WILL
 NEED BONDISSUE

Washington, July 15.-At luncheon today the President had a conference with Messrs. Aldrich and Payne regarding the issuance of bonds to reimburse the gen. eral fund of the United States treas ury for the $4O,0 900 paid for the purchase of the property of the new Panama Canal company. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, Assistant Secretary Norton and Cardinal Gibbons also were guests of the President at luncheon. The Car dinal did not remain for the conference.
 The Payne bill originally authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue the $4o,000,00 of Panama canal purchase bonds and continued further provision author izing the secretary to borrow from time to time such sums of money as might be needed to meet public expenses, and to s- sue therefore certificates of indebtedness bearing per cent intrest.
 officials in close administrative circles recommended to the President that the House provision should be restored. It was argued that the safe plan would be to give such authority in the tariff bill rather than to take the chance of alarm ing the public by raising the question as a separate issue at a later date. Sen ator Aldrich believes in waiting until the monetary commission can take the matter up in the fall and then cover the needs of the government by one big issue or bonds.

BOMB OUTRAGES
 WILL BE PROBED

Chicago. July 15.-vincent A. Altman,
 ex-policeman and assistant business agent
 for the Carpenters union, was held to the
 grand jury today by Judge McSurley on
 charge Of having thrown the bomb that wrecked the central exchange of the Chi cago Telephone company few days ago. Altman's bail was fixed at $2O,000. Joseph , Altman. barber, brother of the man held
 to the grand jury, is also under arrest on
 suspicion of being implicated in number
 of bomb outrages which have occurred in
 various sections of this city during the
 last two years
 The action today presages bitter war
 between the unions and the police force. The carpenters have put into the field a volunteer detective force, and charges have been made that the police are afraid to arrest the real bomb thrower, who is
 said to be in possession of information
 that the police have protected gambling
 in this city for years
 The remarkable feature of the court pro- ceedings tdoay was that 1t was the first
 time during the two years that bombs have ben thrown that any evidence of strength was introduced against a sus- 
 pect. Altman is charged with throwing bomb 31 on June N The prisoner de- clared that 1t was all lie and that the
 men who identified him never had seen him before. tl4 A Gustav Simmons, an employe of the Chi cago Telephone company, testified that on the night of June 27 he noticed Altman standing at the mouth of the alley in the rear of the company's building, look ing into the alley, at S:30 o'clock and again at 1030 o'clock and when he went through two hours later Altman was standing as before.
 James Weliker, a clerk for the Du- Pont de Nemours Powder company. identi- fled Altman as the man under the name of Frank Smith who had bought POO feet of fuse from him about two months ago. Nathan Wilkus, fireman for the John D. Thompson restaurant. which opens into the alley, also saw Altman with small red satchel, he said.
