]. c. Hunter, husband Of Mrs. Mag
gle Hunter, whose death Monday

murdered women, Is certainly one.
They declare that the chain Of
evidence is complete, asserting that
some clothing, badly stained, appar-
emily spattered with blood, which
was found AMI belongs to Hunter,
Is the final link. This clothing Is ia
'eclared, was worn by Hunter on the
day Of the crimes, and a walking
can found in the house Of the MUIR
lers is declared to have been car
ried by Hunter on the same day.
1t was declared by a physician
at the Savannah hospital that state
ments made during q moment Of
consciousness by Mrs. Hunter early
Monday charged the crimes to her
husband, and that she was being
held by a negro man when the blows
were struck that caused her death.

Greedy Expedition Veteran Thinks
Both Reached the Pole.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Of the many people
greatly interested In the controversy over
the discovery OF the North Pole there IS
none. perhaps. who has followed the bitter
fight more closely than stephen Konick

Greely Arctic expedition. who Is spending
his last days at the Soldiers Home here
He believes implicitly that both DR.. Cook

forty or fifty miles from that of the Greedy

condensed food supply was ample in pro-

handicapped because II ate up nearly all
the dogs. and incidentally had TO make

WAR ON PANAMA MOSQUITO.
Millions" Small Fish, To Be Used
to DESTROY Insect Larva.

Washington, Oct 2S.-The determination
of mosquito larvR in stagnant bodies of
water through the agency of diminutive
fish in the Panama Canal Zone is the novel
experiment which shortly will be under
taken there by the department of SANTA
ton Of the Panama Canal Commission.
The proposed experiment is to be under
taken to destroy mosquito breeding in the
stagnant water in the marshes between
Sosa and FL Diablo. Before work was
begun on the abandoned Sosa-Corozal dam
salt water invaded the marshes regularly
but in constructing the rock and earth fills
the tidal channel was obstructed and the
rains soon created fresh water pools in the
low hemuled-in places.
This fresh water will be treated with
copper sulphate in order TO kill the algaI
growth, which furnishes food and a hiding
place for the mosquito Larvae. AS an addi-
tional precaution the pools will be. stocked
with diminutive fish.
Millions" species of small fish, has
been successfully bred at Ancon. 1t is pro-
posed 10 transfer some of these mosquito
destroyers to the fresh water lakes and
ponds.

COOK TO MAKE NO REPLY.
Unlikely That He Will Notice Peary's
Dispatch.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 23.-Commander r. E.
Peary's dispatch to Washington friends re-
garding the Rasmussen story brought
nothing in the nature of a reply from Dr.
Cook when he learned of 1t here to-day. DR..
Cook intimated it was unlikely that he
would take any particular notice of the
attack on the Danish explorers report.
DR.. Cook could be induced to say little re-
garding a dispatch from Missoula that his
agents in Montana had secured satisfactory
evidence that Barrills affidavit was the re-
suit of 'inducement" His only comment on
that dispatch was that General Weed, his
counsel in Montana, evidently had been
mistaken or misquoted regarding his going
West, as 1t would be impossible for the ex-
plorer to so to Montana before the latter
part of November, and possibly not until
the middle of December.
After the lecture Monday night at Mime
apolis DR.. Cook VIII go directly to New
York, and will devote his time to prepar-
Ing his North Pole report for submission to
the scientists. After that Is done he will
feel at liberty to take up the Mount Nc
Kinley matter
DR.. Cook to-day dictated a message 70
Professor Torp. of the University of Copen-
hagen. in which he said that he hoped to
send Mr.. Lonsdale with data and records
IN about month. Instruments could not
be sent until next year. he said.
The instruments regarding which there
has been so much comment will be sent Tor
next June. according to a statement r,ada
py Dr. Cook to-day. This will bring them
10 this country next September.

Speaking of Senator McCarren's death
Otto T. Barnard. fusion candidate for
Mayor, said:
Senator McCarren's death casts a
shadow over the whole campaign. / met
him two or three times on various social
occasions and the like-such. for instance
as Amen Corner dinners. He impressed me
cheerful soul. and really think that
cheerfulness does about asemuch good as
anything else in the world"
Herbert Parsons, chairman OF the Repub-
lican County Committee, had this to say
Of Senator McCarren:
He was a very able man. great fighter.
and in that way won the admiration OF
even his enemies. I met him only few
times. but was impressed with his strong
personality. He held men to him under
great odds That 1 think was due TO the
very forcefulness OF his character"
The flags on the City Hall were lowered
to haIfstaff because of the death Of Sen
ator McCarren. Mayor Mcclellan left or
ders with his clerk, Edward Reardon. to
have the flags at halfmast In the event OF
McCarren's death. The Mayor was in con-
slant touch with ST. Catharine's Hospital
Friday. receiving bulletins every half hour
LAFAYETTE B. Gleason, clerk Of the Senate
said yesterday afternoon that he had sent
a notice OF the death OF Senator Mccarren
to every member Of the Senate. In this
notice II was stated that the funeral would
be held on Tuesday morning at O'CLOCK
from the house in Brooklyn. A special
train will be run from the western end OF
the state for the accommodation OF the
Senators, who will leave the Murray Hill
Hotel for Brooklyn in a body at O'CLOCK
on the morning OF the funeral.

MOURN THE LEADER
MRS. MCARREN CALM.
Flags at Halfstaf for Brook
Ian Senator.

The body OF Senator Patrick HA Mccarren
was not removed from St Catharine's Hos
pitaI 20 his home. at No 81 Berry street,
Williamsburg. yesterday until the news of
his death was conveyed to his aged mother
by the Rev Thomas E. Carroll. rector of
the Church OF St Vincent de Paul, In North
9Th street The priest was accompanied by
DR.. William ]. O'Brien, a neighbor, and
Mrs. George McCluskey, a cousin Of the
deceased.
When the party OF mourners reached the
Berry street dwelling Mrs. McCarren was
found in a front room on the third floor
she grasped Father CAROLS hand and
seemed to divine the meaning of the visit.
Then the priest said: Mrs. McCarren, the
Senator was taken suddenly I'll and brought
10 ST. Catharine's Hospital several days
ago. An operation was performed, and he
died In the presence of priests and nuns"
The aged woman closed her eyes for a
moment, and when she looked again at
Father Carroll tears began TO flow down
her shrunken cheeks Then she said calm
iy: 1T is Gods will. His will be done.
am content TO know that he died a Chris
fian and a good Catholic. My prayers
have been answered"
That Senator McCarren felt that his end
was near several days ago is indicated In
the fact that on Wednesday last he told
his physician thai in the event Of his death
he desired to have the arrangements for
his funeral left in the hands Of his cousin
Mrs George McCiuskey. He insisted. now
ever, that his mother was TO be left IN
ignorance of his illness and death until
after ne had passed away. He summoned
Mrs. MoCluskey to his bedside and directed
that he be buried not in garments pro-
vided by an undertaken but in frock coat
which would be found in his wardrobe. Re
also requested that the services be simple
as possible.
The body was kept at the hospital until
word was received that Mrs. McCaTren had
been Informed of her sons death. Whle
au the arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed, 1t was stated that u
will take place from the Church OF ST
Vincent de Paul on Tuesday morning. The
burial will be IN Calvary Cemetery.
A call for meeting Of the Seymour
Club which was organized by Senator NC
Carren, has been issued for this afternoon
al the clubhouse, No. 1sS Bedford avenue
when the paIIbearers will be selected The
club Will attend the funeral in a body.
Judge Gaynor said:
In the midst OF life we are in death
It makes one feel his own littleness TO have
such a thing occur in such an hour OF
strife. II is hard at best TO keep out OF
ones mind day by day the inevitable hour
of death. But let us all be content and
await our turn in Gods time. The duty
we do here is principally for those who
como after US. and therefore let us go on
without faltering. The good things that
Senator McCarren did must now be remem-
bered and mentioned. The things in which
any of US differ with him still remain foT

Controller Metz said:

The harmonizing of Brooklyn Democrats
continued to be the feature of the political
situation in Brooklyn yesterday. Bernard

list from which will be chosen a successor

he would support the ticket. 1 have just
received word from Borough President
Coler that he will preside at a big mass
meeting, under the auspices OF the regular

Prospect Hall on Friday night I think that
1t can be stated that the Democratic party
in Kings County is more strongly united
than II has been at any time before in the
last twenty years.
II want to say that recent events afford
no justification for saying that the Kings
County organization has lost its indepen-
dence. There has been no agreement, ex-
pressed or implied, that the organization
will sacrifice its independence in any way.
