ObeyinE Orders.

Seamen are strict disciplinarians,
and a ships crew seldom even dreams
Of Interpreting commanders orders
otherwise than literally. Of the rec
ognized rigid type was a certain Eng
lish captain. The way the strict let
ter of his law was observed aboard
his ship is described by writer in
the London Telegraph.
One day, while the ship was in a
certain port, the captain gave a din
ner to some town acquaintance, and
as the resources Of the ship were not
great, some of the sailors were deput-
ed to wait on the table to reinforce
the insufficient number of stewards.
AS these men were not used to such
work, each one was told exactly what
service would fall to his share.
The hour came, and the dinner went
merrily on. Presently, however, one
of the ladies wanted a piece of bread.
There was none near her, and the fine
ly disciplined stewards seemed to be
quite blind to her need. She turned
her head and spoke softly to the man
at her elbow.
Bread, please" she said.
He looked regretfully at the bread
and then at her. 1t was evident that
he would fain have helped her If it
had been in his power. He saluted in
fine naval style.
Cant do it, ma'am," said he. I'm
told off for 'taters"

OBTAINS ALLEN PAPERS
COURT GETS DOCUMENTS FROM
CHICAGO BANK VAULTS.
Bankers Sister-in-Law and Brcther-in-
Law Procure Freedom by Get
ting Bail

MADISON. Wis. Dec. 23.-[Special.l
Fifty letters comprising the corre-
spondence between Phil Allen and his
sister-in-law. Miss Addie Jackson, and
his brother-in-law, Guy Roe of Winona,
Mimi, together with certificates of the
face value of over half a million dollars,
were introduced in evidence and identi-
fed by Miss Jackson when the hearing
on the creditors claims was continued
in the bankruptcy court this morning.
The question related to the disposition
of Aliens property in the alleged effort
to conceal his assets.
Allen turned over to her nearly all his
property, largely for the benefit of his
wife, All the correspondence is now In
possession of the court.
Mr.. Roe and Miss Jackson secured
their release from Jail this morning
through their attorney, John Aylward.
Roe furnished bail of $4,000, the sum
covered by a draft, and Miss Jackson
put up a certificate of $1,000, to which
amount her bail was reduced.
Attorney Jackman, representing the
Central Wisconsin Trust company, re-
turned from Chicago today with the
copies and papers taken from the safety
deposit vaults of the Illinois Trust COM
pany and the Redford Sash and Door
company of which Miss Jackson is
stenographer and bookkeeper. He said
he had much trouble in getting the cor
respondence. He produced the court or
der but it was not honored. It appears
that the name of the bank was given
wrongly on the order, through a mistake
of Miss Jackson.

MRS. MARTIN TO FIGHT.
Mother of Ocey Snead Will Not Leave
New York State Without
Legal Battle.

! NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Although Mrs
Caroline B. Martin, mother of Ocey
Snead, has been indicted with Mrs. Mar
tins two sisters for the murder Of the
East Orange bath tub victim, the New
Jersey authorities have not yet obtained
possession of Mrs. Martins person.
Moreover, Mrs. Martin is determined not
to be taken from New York state with
out fight. Today her attorney, Col.
Robert J. Hare, announced that he
would at once take steps for bringing
habeas corpus proceedings to test the
strength of the case against his client.
Some of the evidence which was pre-
scented to the grand jury in support Of
the charge that a plot existed against
Mrs. Ocey Snead became known. An i'm
portant point was made in the presenta-
ton of documentary and other evidence
to show that letters written by Mrs.
Snead to her absent husband, Fletcher
Snead, were unmailed and that his let
tiers to her were intercepted.
It is alleged the sick woman was told
that her husband was dead, and that
she had nothing to live for.

International Commission for Scientific
Air Navigation, who is a passenger on
the Prinz Joachim, said today that he
will join the Peary expedition, which he
expects will be made to the north pole
in two years by means of airships.
"A great deal of time will be required
in making tests before the trip to the
pole can be commenced" said the pro-
fessor. THE atmospheric condition of
the far north will have to be overcome
and it is necessary that plenty Of tests
be made so that expedition will have no
fatal results"
When questioned about DR.. Cook, the
professor refused to make any comment,
but said: "Peary is the only man"
The professor has completed a tenta-
tive route for his trip with Commander
Peary to the north pole. The airship
is to cross Germany and Norway and
make it's base at Cross bay, on the west
ern coast of Spitzbergen. Preliminary
flights to explore the regions north of
Greenland and Francis Joseph's bay will
be made from Cross bay. A dash of ap-
proximately 800 miles from Cross bay,
over Spitzbergen to the pole will then be
made. he saws.
