oDELL TO BE
 REINSTATED Manager O'Rourke Impelled to Leniency Through Re-
 gard for Connie Mack Former Orator to Have Ban Raised Because Manager Jim Wants to Oblige
 Manager of Athletics
"Pop" Foster to Be No Longer An Outlaw and His Reinstatement Now in the Works-Odell May Join Philadelphias.

Al Odell, the former third baseman of the OraAors who jumped his con- tract several years ago is to be ad- mitted to the society of the baseball elect and all through the magnanimity of Manager James H. p'Rourke of this city. Manager O'Rourke has been "reached' as it were by Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Ameri- cans. O'Rourke and Mack are bosom friends. Some time ago Mack became interested in the case of Oden and he wrote to Manager O'Rourke requesting that the latter withdraw his objection to the reinstatement of the former Bridgeport player.
 At that time the local magnate wouldn't hear of such thing and he wrote Mack that there was nothing within reason which the latter could ask that he would not gladly grant but his request was impossible be- cause of the peculiar conditions of the case, Odell having made certain state merts under oath when he made former attempt to secure reinstate- ment which Manager O'Rourke con- vinced the board were so outrageously at variance with the facts that the application of Odell was denied by a unanimous vote.
 Since then Odell realizing that he had little standing with the OFFICIAL board as long as O'Rourke was a mem Der, has been compelled to content himself with playing in the Tri-State League. This season Pop" Foster succeeded in getting Odell away from Lancaster for Reading, which team Pop managed. The owners of the Reading team and Connie Mack %afe very close and the Reading magnates Knowing of the friendship between O'Rourke and Mack got busy. Mack is a very insistent friend. When he wants a thing he wants it, and he won't take no for an answer. Despite the rejection on the part of Manager ORourke of his first proposal he kept at it and he finally made his request upon grounds of personal friendship so strong that Manager ORourke relent- ed.
 What no. other man has been able to do Mack has accomplished, and within a day or two O'Rourke notified Mack that he would accede to his wishes and withdraw his opposoit1on to the reinstatement of Odell.
 This means that Odell will be e1ig1- ble to play in any of the major lea gue teams and the suspicion prevails that connie Mack is going to get him. There can be no question of OdelIs ability as a player. The Trl-State league is known as the rgatory for baseball players. While it is recog- nized by organized baseball, the play CTS are not allowed, except first re- instated to play outside of it's confines.

SINGLE TRUCK
 CAR RUNS WILD
No. 235, Leaving Track, Bat ters in Porch of State
 Street Dwelling
Motorman's Narrow Escape

Awakening from their slumbers by the crashing and splintering of boards. about 11:30 o'clock, last evening, the occupants of the two-family house. 779 State street. must have thought the structure was caving in upon them. It was a strange sight which greeted their eyes as they looked out of the front windows. Imagine their sur prise when they saw one of the cars of the Connecticut Company trying to mount the front porch. Car No 235, one of the small, but newer type, had left the rails while going east below Seeley and State streets. It had bowl ed along for about 250 feet when it 1swerved to the right and dashed into ths front porch of 779 State street. Tkere were six passengers, all men, in the car, and all were severely shaken up. There is an up grade at this point, showing that the car was going along at g. good clip. The car just grazed a telegraph pole, and barely was passing. There was no blockade. The car swung so clear of the tracks, that it was almost perpendicular to them. and there was space for other cars to pass. The wrecker was on the scene in quick time. and fastening a large hawser drew the derelict back onto the rails. If the car had swerved little more TO the right it would have struck the telegraph pole, and in all probability the motorman would have been killed.
 No. 235 is a. car of the single truck type of which about a hundred are in use in this city. Single truck cars lack stability, and most of the acci- dents caused by derailment are due to their type. The car which went off the track at Peck's Mills, some years ago. was a single truck car. At this time some 30 persons were killed or injured. The car which left the track at Ash Creek year or two ago, killing. or injuring a number of per sons, was also a. single truck car. In the latter tragedy the late Coroner c. A. Doten made a finding in which he pointed out the risk involved in using single truck cars.

DIR. COOKS OWN STORY TO APPEAR
 IN THE FARMER Exclusive Rights for Bridge port Have Been Obtained
 for Our Readers First Installment Is to Ap- pear in Issue of Monday,
 October 4

The Farmer has completed an arrangement under which it se- cures the right to publish, in this city pr. Cooks own story of his discovery of the, North Pole. The first installment of this narrative of thrilling interest will be begun in the Farmer on Monday. The succeeding installments will be printed on succeeding, or alternate days, until the conclusion of the story. This narrative is in effect a duplicate !of the story which the intrepid explorer wrote on the closely scribbled pages of his diary during the long arctic night, when after he had reached the highest north, the drift of the ice on his return trip took him far from his course and compelled him with his faithful Esquimaux, to wait until the opening of the Arctic summer and the long day. The literary form of pr. Cooks statement is severely plain and simple. But the modest language contains a recital of thrilling interest far be- yond that which can attach even to the most vivid work of fiction. This story contains "the proof' that Cook was the first man at the pole.

CHOOSE DEATH
 TO PRISON BARS
Especial from United Press.)


 Boston, Oct. 2. = Choosing death rather than a life behind the bars of Charlestown prison, Minn Sing, Hom Wong and Leong Gong, sentenced to the chair during the week of Oct. 10, are calmly awaiting their fate here having fiatly refused to apply to Gov ernor Draper for communication of their sentence. The three, who are of five sentenced to die for complicity in a murderous Tong War here on August 24, 1907, refuse all persuasion of their counsel to appeal for life.
 "I am an innocent man. Life i'm prisonment would break my heart and the quicker the death the better for me- said Minn Sing the youngest and least known of the criminals, on be- ing seen by counsel Woodman, in 'tMurderers' Row.
 Surprised at the mans attitude, Woodman endeavored to urge the con- demned man out of this position but without avail. Then MT. Woodman turned to Hom Wong finally to Leon Gong, but they too asserted that they preferrerd death to life Imprisonment in Charlestown.

TRAVIS BROTHER GUILTY
Sentenced to 60Days in New Haven Jail But Took
 An Appeal
SISTER PROMISES BONDS
Especial from United Press. :,

Especial from United Press.)
 New Haven, Oct. 2.-Howard Nes- bit, brother of Evelyn Thaw, was found guilty in the local police court to-day of the charge of attempting to obtain money under false pretenses and was sentenced to 60 days in jail. He took an appeal and his bond was fixed at $200.
 William O'Keefe, a local lawyer, who represented Nesbit, was unable to se- cure bond, and for time it looked as though the prisoner would have to go to jail pending hearing on his ap- peal. A telegram was received later however, from Evelyn Thaw stating that she would have a bondsman for her brother by tonight. Nesbit was arrested on Wednesday afternoon when he was attempting to sell what the police say were imitation diamonds to a George Street pawnbroker. He was held on a technical charge of idle ness until to-day when the more ser ious charge was placed against him. Experts in court this morning stated that the diamonds were paste and Nesbit insisted that he purchased them for real diamonds

 Portland, Me, Oct. 2.-Delighted with his New York ovation. Commander Robert B. Peary and his wife arrived here this morning from their participa- tion in the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. They will remain in this city tonight and tomorrow will go to their Eagle Island home. There they will remain in seclusion until after the publication of Mr. Peary's statement on Cook by the officers of the Peary Arctic Club in New York.
 Please let me alone, gentlemen said Peary to-day when besieged by newspapermen. "I wish to go to my home and there, remain quietly for the present at least. When my statement is presented I may have something further to say if it seems needful.''
 MT. Peary stated that the crew of the Roosevelt had been disbanded in New York. He did not know what they would do and he had no informa- tion as to what would be done with the vessel.

PEACEMAKER
 BADLY BANGED
Never Again Will William Fitzgibbons Try to Settle
 a Fight
THREE HEAVILY FINED

In the city court this morning Judge Foster imposed the following senten- ces upon these men for drunkenness day noon on Jones avenue and James street: Maurice Miskie, ss0 and costs, bail for appeal $50; Max Levkowitz, $1O7 and costs, bail for appeal $50; James Kientzman, $50 and costs, bail for appeal $20O. The accused appeal ed. They were defended by Attorney Henry Greenstein. They were charg- ed with assaulting William FitZgib- bons of 372 Olive street. Fitzgibbons said that he was attracted by crowd near James street and Jones avenue, while he was standing in front of his home. He saw the crowd and ran to see what was going on. AS soon as he arrived on the scene he saw the three accused fighting. One of them grabbed him by the collar. The man then struck him and he fell to the ground. F,itzgibbons got up and was confronted by another of the trio who threatenedN to kill him< with a large stone which he held in his hand. Fitz- gibbons shouted that he had done nothing but the man hit him over the head with the stone. He walked few feet and then fell in a heap in the road. He was then assisted to near by house.
 The accused testified that they were on their way to the congregation to which they belong to report the finan- cial condition of the organization to the other members. While walking along minding their own business stone struck one of them. The stone had been thrown by a crowd of boys and others among whom was F1tZgib- bons. The three men returned to the crowd and Kientzman struck F'itzgib- bons in the face. A free-for-all fol- lowed.

WORLDS LEADING POLE
 EXPLORERS ACCEPT DIR.
 COOKS DISCOVERY CLAIM
Eleven Replies by Cable and Telegraph to U P. In quiries Only One Casts Doubt Americans
 Achievement.
But at That Rear Admiral George w. Melvilles Reply Shows He is Less Skeptical Than at the Outset When He Seriously Called into Question Dr. Cooks Statement

| the Englishmen would be the last to concede that any other than an Eng
 lishman had found the Pole. With the exception of Admiral Mel .ville./ the American replies showed characteristic warmth. Major General Greeley. who reached the latitude of S3 degrees, 43 minutes telegraphed the the United Press as follows: From the report, combined with my
 knowledge of Arctic travel by the
 Smith Sound route. my belief, fre-
 quently expressed. is that Cook reach
 ed the Po1e.''
 Anthony Ffala. the young Brooklyn explorer who made an expert analysis for the United Press of the stories of both Cook and Peary, had an un- equivocal "yes'' to express his belief
 in the claims of both men. Fiala was
 with the Baldwin-Seigler expeditions 1893-O2.
 There is no doubt of it. I
 believed Cook reached the Pole from the mere fact that he himself said so'' This was the patriotic and generous reply of Rear Admiral Schley who commanded the expedition which res-
 cued General Greeley.
 Of the Englishmen questioned but
 one. Sir George Mares. has made a Shackleton. the most noted of all Eng fish explorers by reason of his having come within Ill miles of the South
 Pole, announced some time ago that
 he was of "an open mind.'' He will neither accept nor reject, the claims
 until he has made careful study of
 the doctors official story and data. The hearty acceptance of Cooks statements by the Danish explorers
 Sverdrup and Hovgaard is considered
 by scientific men to be the best en- dorsement possible on account of the , Danes superior knowledge of Arctic affairs.
 pr. DeQuervain of Seurich. the chief
 assistant of the Swiss-Germ expedi- t1on to Greenland. only recently came to the defense of Dr. Cook after a careful study of every available bit of
 information. HThe more I have ex-
 amined the doctors claims" the an swer came. stf1e more I ann convinced that the doctor is right''
