DUKE OF ABRUZZI MAY BE
ARBITER IN POLE DISPUTE

DENVER, Sept. 16.-Semiofficially
Denver has been informed that the
Duke d'Abruzzi will be arbiter in the
controversy concerning the discovery
Of the North Pole. From here the
news has gone out and various features
in connection with 'Abruzzi s soiourn
in London at this time are being of
fered as eonfrmatory evidence.
The Italian consulate at Denver will
neither confirm nor deny the story, but
it is said that the local consul is in pos
session Of the facts in the case.
His refusal to deny the report is
taken as giving color to its authentic
ity.
Instead of appointing an arbiter
from France to settle the respective
claims of DR.. Frederick Cook and Com
mander Robert Peary the Italian no.
bleman, cousin Of the king of Italy,
viii be called upon by reason of his
having reached the second farthest
point north. France is not averse to
rendering judgment in the controversy,
but neither is d'Abruzzi. The seien-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-09-29

tifc societies are anxious to see the
Italian lend his assistance.
D'Abruzzi knows more of conditions
in the far north than any other man
outside the contestants for the honor
Of discovery, unless it be Cagni, IN
whose company he made his explora-
tons.
In connection with the rumor which
gives to d'Abruzzi the office Of ar
bitter. attention is called to the sup
position that that may have been the
reason for the Italian S going to Lon
don. At the time it was said that he
was to be reunited to Miss Katherine
Elkins, whose fance he was formerly.
1t is also suggested that the report Of
his appointment may not be official,
but may have grown out of a desire
on his part TO visit Miss Elkins.
One fact that would lead to the prob
ability of French arbiter being Sc
leeted is that that nation would be
the only unprejudiced authority that
could be obtained, and whether the
Duke d'Abruzzi could be unbiased IN
the matter is questioned.

T.. K ks Deficit.
Japan Advertiser-Th result of the
settlement of the accounts for the first
hall of the present fiscal year nf the
Toxic Kisen Kaisha shows a total in
come of Y2,410,000 against expendi-
lures totaling Y2,600,o00 The deficit
of Y190,000 represents the loss in
Cured by the company during the pre-
ceiling term which brings the aggre-
gate loss together with that of the
previous year up to a total of VI,
01o.Go0.
The causes of this loss during the
previous term are largely traceable to
the general depression prevailing as
we'll as to the fact that the boycotting
of japanese goods in south China had
not abated to any degree.
That the loss is not much larger
than it is, is due to the increase of
the amount of subsidy received by
the company as well as the curtailment
of expenses rendered possible by the
complete readjustment of the compa-
ny's management.
The directors hope to be able to
