NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-By
Commander Robert e. Peary re-
fusing to allow Harry Whitney,
the big game hunter, to bring
DR.. Frederick A. Cooks instru-
ments and data back to civiliza-
ton, the Brooklyn physician will
be delayed at least year in con-
firming his discovery of the
north pole.
This, at least, is the assertion
being made here by prominent
scientists.
Cook Undismayed.
The Brooklyn physician, how
ever, is undismayed, and declares
that the ship bringing his two
Eskimos to this country to sub
stantiate his claims will stop at
Etah and bring his instruments.
Unnecessary, Says Cook.
DR.. Cook announced today that
the things Whitney was forced to
leave behind were a sextant, hori-
zon finder and the flag that he
flew at the pole. He also de-
clared that the stuff cached at
Etah was unnecessary to prove
his claim.

Now comes Mrs. Mae e. George
Of New York, first wife Of Charles
&c. George, the Tacoma attorney,
and adds another knot in the ma
trimonial tangle of that astute
lawyer, by filing suit against Mrs.
Ida L. Austrian, who claims to
be Mrs. George No. 2, for alienat-
ing Georges affection from her,
the said Mae E. George.
By these presents, be it remem-
bered, however, that only a few
days ago. the alleged Mrs. George
No. 2 sued Mrs. Albertina Janson
George, the present Mrs. George,
for estranging the very same at
fections of the same Mr. George
for which she Is being sued in New
York.
1t seems, too, that the affeo-
tions of Mr.. George has a fixed
valuation in the matrimonial mar
ket, as in each case the balm that
would soothe the broken heart Is
sworn to in the complaint as $40,
900 in legal tender.
The case of Mr.. George resolves
into the following simple state
ment of facts: Mr.. and Mrs. Mae
e. George obtain a divorce first.
Then Mrs. Ida l.. Austrian, also a
divorcee, appears on the scene as
the approximate and alleged
cause. Mrs. Austrian claims 20
have been married to George in
Vancouver on September 10, 1908.
Mrs. Albertina Janson obtains a
divorce from DR.. Janson and mar
ries Attorney George in 1908.
Now the woman who claims to
have married George in Vancou-
yer in 1908 is suing the woman
whom he married IN 1909 for
$4,000, and the woman whom he
divorced in New York is suing the
woman who is suing the woman
whom he married in King county
also for $4,000 damages.
If Mrs. Austrian, or Mrs. George
No. 2, as she alleges, should win
that $4,000 suit in Seattle and
lose the one brought against her
in New York, the question would
then be, like the one proposed by
the Swedish humorist in reference
/ to hair and badness, Whats the
use of living all time time? If
you can't have more when you fin
Dish than when you commence,
what's the use?i'
George Won't Talk.
George refused to say anything
today about this latest phase IF
the matrimonial complications n
which he is the central figure.
Several days ago, however, he de-
'nied ever having married Mrs. Ida
l.. Austrian, the alleged Mrs.
George No. 2. and stated that her
status would be soon determined
in New York suit. The suit of
Mrs. George No. l against Mrs.
Austrian is evidently the one re-
ferred to.

IN FIRE
PANIC;
Explosion in Big Pitts
burg Building Is Foil
owed BY Wild Rush For
Safety, and Many Per-
sons Are Injured

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 27.-
Two persons are believed to have
been killed and at least so Others
have been injured in an explosion
which occurred today in the Co
lumbia Film Exchange in the Fer
guson building. Following the
explosion the interior of the build
ing caught fire and panic among
the occupants of the building fol-
lowed. Hundreds of business men
and their clerks made a dash for
the elevators at the first sign of
the flames and 1t was in the crush
to get into these that most of the
Injuries occurred. The force OF
the explosion caused the sides OF
the building to bulge and with the
damage from the fire, the loss will
run into the thousands.
Elevator Boy a Hero.
The explosion developed a hero
in the person of Roy Barclay, a
17-year-old elevator boy. Despite
the danger surrounding him on AL
sides the lad bravely remained at
his post shooting the car up and
down and assisting in the rescue
of panic-stricken persons.
Twenty girls employed In the
office of the Smith Premier Type
writer company were hurled to the
floor, and several badly injured.
The front of the building was so
badly damaged that the chief OF
the fire department ordered The
buildings on both sides OF 1t va
Gated.
In some unknown manner 1,20O
feet of celluloid films became ig-
nited and caused the explosion.
The. Ferguson building is in the
heart of the financial district OF
Pittsburg and the fire attracted
thousands Of people from the sky
scrapers.

CHICAGO. Sept. 27.-Illinois

early today by a series of earth
quakes, lasting from two second ds
to a minute, which badly frighten-

ported did no serious damage.
The most severe shocks were
felt In Indiana and Southern IL
linois, where many persons rushed
from their houses terror-strickea
by the phenomenon. Dishes were
shaken from shelves and sent
crashing to the floor. Clocks
toppled over and In some districts
the temblor was strong enough 10

his belief that the quake was In
some way connected with the

prostrated telegraph wires and In

Describes
Insanity OF
NeWCOnlb
EXPERT WHO WILL TESTIFY
FOR SLAYER SAYS HE is RA.
T1ONAL NOW BUT is SUB
JECT TO RECURRENCE OF
TROUBLE.

DR.. Willis Silliman of Seattle,
one of the experts VINO will testify
as to the alleged Insanity of
Charles Newcomb, on trial for the
murder of Martin Kvalshaug, was
In court today and made short
statement to the reporters as to
the nature of the supposed insan-
ity from which Newcomb was suf-
fering at the time of the crime.
He calls 1t affective homicidal
insanity. At present, he says,
Newcomb is entirely rational, but
is still subject to similar attacks.
This particular kind of insanity,
he declares, does not effect the in
tellect, but the feelings or emo
tions. The doctor cited several
cases where men of high intellect
had been subject to similar at
tacks as that suffered by New
comb, but who have completely O.
covered. Mary Lamb, sister OF
Charles Lamb, he said, was a vic
tim of this form of insanity.
Lawyers Show Hand.
An intimation as to the nature
of the insanity which Charles
Newcomb's attorneys will set uI
as his defense in his trial for the
murder of Martin Kvalshaug, was
given today by question whi ct
they asked of all the talismen ex.
amined. The question refers tc
emotional or sensual insanity and
is as follows:
"If you believe from the
evidence, at the alleged kill
ing, the defendant was so far
insane as not to be able to
distinguish between right and
wrong with respect to the act
in question; or II you should
find from the evidence that
he was urged to the commits
sion of the act by an insane
impulse so powerful as to
overcome his will and judge
ment-so powerful that ne
was unable to restrain 1t,
even though he might know
and feel that the act he was
committing was wrong and a
violation OF law, no matter
whether such insane impulse
! arose from mental or physi-
cal cause, or both, provided
they were not voluntarily in
duced by himself; or II you
should find from the evidence
that the prisoner was insane
on any subject, 70 matter
upon what, provided you find
the impulse to do the act
charged in the information
arose from such insanity,
would you then find the de-
fendant not guilty?"
All of the jurors answered this
question In the affirmative gener'
Ially with some qualifications.

fendant, was present in the court

/ OUT FOR THE SENATE
MAKES HIS ANNOUNCEMENT IN
THE NAPOLEON HOMESTEAD
LAST WEEK..
Tells The Reason Why He Thinks
He Would Be An Acceptable Can
didate An Old Timer.

Napoleon Homestead: Hon. Dem
mis- A. Hannifln, the sage of Bis
marck, was caller here this week.
Mr. Hannafin has decided to enter
the race for United States senator
and his announcement first appears
in the Homestead. He always liked
the location of Napoleon and it's
name, because it stands for it's great
ness present and future. ''Napol-
eon-on-the-Soo," he says, Railways did
sound good to me-" Another thing
he likes is the name Homestead
The Napoleon Homestead. So he
concluded to start his campaign &C
cordingly by letting his announce
ment for senator appear in our great
"fambly Journal his favorite med
ium. Mr.. Hannafin, who is known
to his intimate friends as just plain
"Dennie," tells the Homestead he be-
lieves there will be no less than fifty
fore the primaries. He says many are
hiding behind the bush until the
eleventh hour and he wants them to
come out into the open and let the
people know where they're at, and if
they don't do it he's going to
"smoke 'em out" He doesn't believe
in the state fair being located on the
east line of the state-would rather
see Napoleon. with it's good name,
enterprising and energetic citizens
and central location get it as a per-
manent fixture.
The announcement is as follows:
To the Electors Of North Dakota.
I hereby announce myself as can
didate for United States senator for
North Dakota, subject to your con-
sideration at the primaries in June,
1910. I was born in Ireland Of poor
but respectable parentage. Accord
ing to the best of my recollection
none of my ancestors have been men,
bers of the British parliament. Came
to the United States when but eight
years of age. BACKED boots and sold
papers In Buffalo in 1886. Was too
young to enlist in the Mexican war.
From Buffalo I went to LaSalle, ILL.,,
when they were building the bridge
there for the Illinois Central rail-
road. On August IA, 1862, I enlist
ed in Company F of the 18th Illi-
nois Volunteer Infantry and on Sept.
2, 1862, was commissioned as I'd

bility at Murfreesboro and returned
to Illinois. Went to Omaha when the
Union Pacific was building and when
it was completed to Promontory sum-
NIT came to FIT. Abercrombie in Feb
ruary, 1871. In March, 1879, came to
Bismarck, where I have since made
my home. When I crossed the Red
river at Moorhead I brought my ped
igree with me. I want to state that
the Fargo Argus, the Jim Hill de-
funct newspaper, advocated that all
settlers coming to Dakota Territory
should leave their pedigree at Moor
head before crossing the Red river.
I am member of the Loyal Leg
