A RAVING MANIAC.
white Created Dist ssinK Scene
while Deing Eek n mined rs to sanity.

Concord MAY a.--Shrieking and
struggling. Willis A. White of May
nard. who was one of the Jurors in
the Chester s. Jordan case. created
sensational and distressing scene at
the Middlesex central court house yes
terday morning when he was brought
here to l'e examined az to his sanity.
A crowd had collected about the
court house. and the rawlings OF the
unfortunate man. as well as his strug-
giles to free himself from the oficers
who took him into the building, were
heard and observed by an excited but
sympathetic gathering Of people.
After Mr.. White. shouting and fight
ing had been carried bodily into side
room Of the court house those about
him finally succeeded in calming him
down somewhat by telling him he
was to have merely preliminary
hearing. and that no harm would come
to him. Then DR.. Frank L. Rich, the
town physician of Maynard. and Or.
George F.. Titcomb OF this town. ex
amined Mr.. White. and reported that
he was suffering from insanity.
As soon as the report was laid before
Judge Reyes he signed an order com
hitting MFR. White to one Of the hos
pitfalls for the insane at Worcester
Then arrangements were begun for TAX
ing Mr.. White to Worcester later in tn,
day In an automobile.
PROBABLY INCURABLE.
Worcester. May 9.--Willis White OF
Maynard, one OF the jurymcn who con
victed Jordan. was brought to the
Worcester insane hospital yesterday
He was ravin1 maniac when he
reached here
Three guards accompanied him II
the auto which arrived at clever
o'clock. and II was all the thre'
could do to hold him at times on thu
way here from Concord. He wa
heavily manacled and several times
on the road hypodermic injections
were given to quiet him.
He was placed in heavily padde'
cell where q close watch Is bein:
kept upon him by tho hospital physi

History tells us that when Columbus mead

the needle Of the compass no longer poin-

this phenomenon was observed but not
understood, since then mariners have had
to make allowance for the variations OF
the conpa SIS; for while in one part OF the
ocean the needle practically points due
north, in other localities the variation as
the mariner terms the angle Of depart
ture OF the compass from true north, IS
several degrees. OF the coast OF oregon
and Washington there Is a variation as
high as % to % degrees, This variation
Goes not exist only on the oceans. but Is
also found on land.
AT present In the United States the
line of no variation along which the
needle points true to the pole" or due

Lake Superior and Michigan and runs
through Ohio about half way between
cincinnati and Columbus, and after pass

Is from this line In our country the
greater Is the variation. In the north
western part of Maine the compass
points q degrees west Of north and at
Vancouver II points % degrees each Of
north. The position OF the line OF no

United States coast and geodetic sur

motion will continue scientists do not
know. The true north pole and the mag

true north pole is stationary. except for
the very small motion recently dis
covered by astronomers; but the mag

Humboldt recognized the importance OF

that four times In every century an ex-
pedition OF three ships should be sent
out to examine nearly possible the
state Of the magnetism Of the earth.
This plan has never been adopted and

ALL NATIONS AMAZED
WHEN CABLES FLASH
ASTOUNDING REPORTS
News From Polar Seas Causes q Great
Sensation Over Entire World---Dr.
Cooks Announcement Meets
With Enthusiasm

Washington. Sept 3.-Stats depart
ment omcials believe it 10 little con-
sequence to the United States what
lands DR.. Cook has discovered ON
his way to the North pole. 10 far a.
actual territorial possession is con-
cerned.
1T is recalled by the department
omcials that ever since 1928 Ameri-
can explorers in both the Arctic and
Antarctic have discovered vast areas
Of land to which no claims have
been made. Admiral Wilkes found in
the Antarctic territory Of more than
100000 square miles in area and DR..
Kane made larger discoveries in the
Arctic, but no effort has been made
by the United States to assert ints
rights to them.
General Greeley some years ago To-
Gated lands which never before were
known to exist.
Many of the worlds greatest navi-
gators have. from time to time, made
their discoveries to which no claim
was ever made
The principal reason for this, how
ever. is said to be that the lands were
almost inaccessible and absolutely of
no value.
The islands of Spitzenbergen are
still without recognized owner. On
the maps the islands are designated
as belonging to Russia, but her claim
II ever asserted has never been recog-
nized.
AS to the particular territory which
DR.. Cook is said to have discovered,
1t was asserted that it was quite
probable that these islands would be
found to be an extension Of the main
land of Greenland, and If so, belonged
to Denmark. At any rate, it Is ex-
tremely improbable, it is said, that
the United States would attempt to
assert sovereignty over them.

SALlDA PEOPLE BELIEVE

pede of Men and Women Who Set Stakes
Over Very Large Area

Salida, Sept. 6.-The excitemen,
caused by the rich gold strike just
east of Salida increases and terri
tory covering nearly five square miles
has been staked out by both men and
women from Salida and the nearby
country, who believe that a second
Cripple Creek has been discovered.
Assays of ore from the Independent
are reported to run from $500 to $15,-
900 per ton, while ore from adjoining
properties found at surface, $50 gold
to the ton.
Over 500 people visited the scene on
Saturday, some going in automobiles,
others in carriages, many on loot and
brought into service.
The Fairgrounds of the Beaver
Creek school have been staked off,
claim stakes dotting the grounds at
different intervals.
8. P. Englebright's ranch in Bear
creek. which lies near the strike, has
been over-run by prospectors and
nearly all Of the ranch staked as min
eral claims. 1t was a common sight
to see we'll dressed men, wearing
laundered shirts and collars, hustl-
ing over the ground stalking OF
claims, while others were working
with pick and shovel in an effort to do
the amount Of development work re-
Quired by law so that they can have
their claims recorded. Az many Of the
claims staked overlie each other or
cut off corners of adjoining claims,
the necessity for haste can be appre-
ciated.
Others are willing to let their
stakes hold their claims for 80 days,

dnued. Il do not think the time 1t
took him to return 10 against ths
statement. The question 10, what dis
tance was he actually from the north
pole when he started the Eskimaus.
He must have done twelve miles q
day to cover the distance given in
thirty-fiye days. No other expedition
has been able to do anything near
this in the north. One or two miles
miles a day is considerer good pro-
gress. but Cooke must have Travelled
over absolutely smooth ice. which is
a condition that Is unique"
DR.. Cooks personal announcement
that he reached the north pole has
done much to dispel the uncertainty
created here by the first dispatches.
but the information is still too vague
to convince the hardened skeptics.
The personality of the American ex-
plorer Is held in such esteem in the
British scientific circles that those
best qualified to Judge are the readi-
est to explain away the seemingly
obscure points in the meagre story
Of the exploit thus far available. The
general statement is summed up in
the Evening Standard, which after a
lengthy review OF the pros and cons,
says: ..
There is nothing improbable in the
explorers statement. 1t will be q
source OF mucn satisfaction II the
north pole has at last been reached.
At the same time it is permissible to
feel profound sympathy for Com
mander Peary. the man of many trials
and struggles. who was SO little sat
isfied with having reached a point
nearer the pole than any other Amer
ican that he spoke OF his achieve
ment as an empty bauble compared to

ing for. The splendid jewel has fallen

Maj. Leonard Darwin, president OF
, the Royal Geographical society, said !:
There is no reason why the north
pole should not have been reached
and 1t ID . very fine feat to have ac-
complished. In the absence Of detailed

by DR.. Cook is a sheltered sea, over
which he travelled. The heavy pres

to watch developments before they ex-
ercise their muscles.
Saturday night some one broke
through the door of the tunnel Of the
Independent mine. where the rich
strike has been made, and carried
away over 200 pounds Of rich ore from
the vein.
Believe Thieves Secured
Ore Worth Large Amount
AS the thieves mined the ore the
'lessees Of the property have no wa,
telling how much they got, but 1t is
thought 1t was worth hundreds of dol
lars. So far no arrests have been made
AS a precaution against a repetition
of the theft the lesees have placed
guard at the tunnel.
So far few outsiders have come in.
as the news Of the strike has barely
reached outside camps. and most of
the work done so far is by local peo-
pie. While there are wild rumors of
richness Of the ore and vague hopes of
a great mining camp, there are skep-
tics who say that the richness will not
continue with heavy production.
The property ON which the big
strike is reported Is less than 80
yards from the county road, Just
across the river from the Rio Grande
railroad and within 100 yards Of the
