that serious enthusiasm that Is the soul of genius

meant TO boom itself on its
Swiss correspondence, but even
that darksome piece Of journal

the prinCely muniticence of the
hundred pounds. At last, when
she calmed down sufficiently to

she saw that mountaineering
implied the hire of guides. and
that society" meant frocks.
OF course 1t was intended that
she should spend the whole of
the money, and thus give The

outlay. And a rapid calculation

CAR HITS AUTO;
THREE INJURED
tContInued from Page 0ne,

crossing about a half block from the
intersection Of San Fernando and Will
hardt streets.
The boy at the wheel of the auto, ii
seems, thought the street car was
going to stop at Wilhardt street. He
steered the automobile diagonally
across the tracks and directly ahead
of the street car. The motorman, not
anticipating this move, threw on the
brakes as quickly as possible, but not
before the fender struck the tonneau
of the motor car, breaking the rear
seat of the auto and throwing out Mrs.
Weber, Miss Weber, little Fred Weber
and Mrs. Boesmiller. The occupants
of the front seat were considerably
shaken, but We're not thrown from
their seats, That those who were
thrown to the ground were not serious
ly injured is due to the fact they fell
in a mud puddle near the south curb
of the street.
The police were Informed OF the ac-
cident. The ambulance responded and
was met by Police Surgeon p. Fl.
Wiley, who made an examination of
the injured and accompanied them to
the Weber home on Griffin avenue.
The automobile was able to proceed
under it's own power, and after the
injured We're taken away in the police
ambulance Weber and his sons entered
the damaged motor car and started to
their home.
The fender of the street car was
bent and twisted and the front steps
on the right side were torn off.

BUSINESS MEN ARE
BEHIND REBELLION
fContinuea from Par. One,

reaching Salvador Castrillo, represen-
tative of the Nicaraguan insurrection-
AIRY forces here.
The advices indicate that fighting is
in progress at Rama and GreytoWn
and that a general assault on Mana
qua, the capital, will follow.
Arms and ammunition landed early
this week from the Norwegian steamer
Utstein are believed to be in the hands
of the iusurrectionists, and prompt use
of them by Estrada's forces is eX-
pected.
Senior Castrillo pointed out tonight
that it would require less than three
days to transport the munitions from
Bluefields, where the Utstein landed
them, to Rama, and that as soon as his
compatriots We're supplied immediate
conflict with the government troops
was inevitable.
The department of state declared to-
night that it had received no advices
of any kind from Nicaragua. All in
quiries as to the landing of marines in
Nicaragua We're met with evasive
replies, but they were such as to
give rise to the belief that some force
had been ashore to protect American
interests and to reconnoiter.
Just how large this force may be or
how long it may be intended to keep it
there could not even be guessed.

Then let our most conspicuous man

HE is the founder Of a scientific uni

scientific for the speculative PHILOSOPHERS

WELLMAN TRIES TO
DISCREDIT DR.. COOK
,cop,,uued from Page one,

ately to some scientific body, especially
when his story was questioned by
critics. This he declares to be inde-
fensible.
Records, he says, Of any arctic trav-
eler need no revision, for If they are
honestly inscribed they cannot be
subject to revision. Such records, he
points out, are kept in dirty. greasy,
grimy notebooks" the inscriptions in
which have been "penned with FROST
bitten fingers by weary man lying
in the half darkness of a reindeer skin
bag within a snow hut or tent.
Let it be understood" says Mr.
Wellman, that such records are al
ways ready. They are complete and
perfect the moment they are written
They can be turned over to scientific
committee in two minutes as well as
in two months-and much better.
1.-THE man who has done an honest
piece of work and recorded 1t faith
fully hour by hour needs not to re-
construct that record.
1.-THE bank cashier who took his
daily records covering a quarter year
home with him on the pretext that
they needed revision and preparation
before being submitted, and insisted
on retaining them for some months
with o other eye than his to see them,
probably would find himself in trouble
with his directors and officers of the
law"
SCOTS at Data
Mr.. Wellman SCOTS at Cooks astro-
nomical data, especially the observa-
ton which he claims to have taken
within 141S feet of the pole.
"He is indeed a marvellous traveller,
declares Wellman, "who can average
1915 miles per day for more than a
month over sea ice with heavy sledges,
and marvellous astronomical OBJ
server who can locate his position
within 400 feet-four minutes walk
and then advance for the purpose of
locating it more closely still, like the
story of the amateur mountain climber
who ascended a peak and returned
with a report that he measured its
altitude by barometer and found it tc
be miles 25 rods feet and 32s
inches"
Wellman fatty denies that such OBJ
servations could be measured any
where by anybody. and to support this
assertion he includes an observation
such as might have been made at the
north pole on April 81, 1908. (which
made today in Washington with a
pencil and a nautical almanac"
Amy one who knows nautical as
tronomy." he adds, "can sit down In
= .natook, or Brooklyn, or anywhere
with a nautical almanac by his side
and construct latitude observations at
will.
Cooks is, to the trained eye and ear
a story of a counterfeit presentment
precisely such a story as one might
pen during a leisurely journey along
the coasts of the game lands, using
the incidents thereof to aid an imagi-
nation in a deliberate transfer Of the
scene of action some hundreds OF
miles farther north"
