Graney Contracts Crouch
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-It looks as
if there may be some sort OF hitch
in the making of bids for the Jeffries-
Johnson fight The numerous switch
ings of time and place for the opening
bids have aroused the ire of some of
the more important bidders and they
may have things TO say in Myers motel,
Hoboken, tomorrow morning.
Eddie Graney arrived in town with
good sized Crouch. And it appears he
is somewhat justified.
81 think it's unfair to switch the
time seven hours ahead, as has been
DONE" said Graney tonight. The ar
ticles called for the opening of bids at
o'clock at the Hotel Albany Then
the time was changed and the place
switched to Madison Square garden,
and now / get into town only TO find
that the scene has been shifted TO
Hoboken and the time set ahead seven
1t was explained to Graney that the
laws of this state. prohibit the sign
ing of articles. or the receiving of bids
Even So" responded he, 'is that
any reason why some one should ar
bitrarily set the time ahead seven
hours? Who did it, anyhow? 1t may
seem all the same to the man who
doesn't understand these things, but I
have come here on a mission that may
involve $4,000 or more, and / don't
feel like going into proposition Of
this kind without having a chance to
look over the ground. II doesn't look
fair to me and I don't like it..
Notwithstanding all this. Graney
wound up by declaring that he will be
on the job tomorrow morning and that
he'll make as big bid for the tight as
any of them.

is running under the auspices Of the
Lakes TO the Gulf Deep Waterways
association. and is to end at the an

New Orleans.
The president is accompanied on the
Oleander only by his secretaries and
the secret service guard. He is SEIZED
uled TO make eight speeches on the
trip down the river. but he will have
TO spare his voice If he expects to
speak above a whisper on the last lap
of his trip.
At the mass meeting in the Coliseum
President Taft served notice on Speak

CTORMS now came up with such

axis. A few walruses were cap

confined to the quest of seal through

A similar quest was being followed

Cape York. But all sea activity would

now soon be limited TO n few opeu
spaces near prominent headlands.
The scene OF the real hunt changed
from the sea to the land. We had as
yet no caribou meat. The little auks
gathered In nets during the summer
and elder duck bagged later disap-
peared fast when used as steady diet.
We must procure hare. ptarmigan and
reindeer. for we had not yet learned
TO eat with n relish the fishy. liver-like
substance which is characteristic OF
al marine mammals.
Guns and ammunition were distrib-
uted. and when the winds were easy
enough TO allow one 20 venture out
every man sought the neighhoring
hills. Francke also took his exercise
with a gun on his shoulder.
The combined results gave n long
line Of ptarmigan. two reindeer and
sixteen hares. As snow covered the
upper slopes the game was forced
down near the sea. where we could
still hope 10 hunt in the feeble light Of
the early part Of the night
No Anxiety For Winter.
With a larder fairly stocked and
good prospects for other tasty meats
we were spared the usual anxiety or
a winter without winter supplies. and
Francke was just the man 10 use this
game 20 good effect, for he had a
way OF preparing our primitive pro-
visions that made our dinners seem
equal TO a Holland House spread.
In the middle Of October foxskins
were prime. and then new steel traps
were distributed and set near the
many caches. BY this time the Eski-
mos had all abandoned their sealskin
tents and were snugiy settled in their
winter igloos. The ground was COW
cred with snow, and the sea was near
ly frozen over everywhere.
Everybody was busy preparing for
the coming cold and night The tenn
perature was about 20 degrees below
zero. Severe storms were becoming
less frequent, and the air, though
colder. was less humid and less disa-
greeable. An ice fort was formed. and
the winter sledging was begun by
short excursions 10 bait the fox traps
and gather the foxes.
All these pursuits. with the work OF
building and repairing sleds. making |
dog harness and shaping new winter
clothing. kept up a lively interest
while the great crust which was TO
bold down the unruly deep for so
many months thickened and closed.
Last Glimpse Of the Dying Day.
During the last days OF brief sun
shine the weather cleared. and az
noon on Oct. "a everybody sought the
freedom of the open for last glimpse
OF the dying day. There was charm
Of color and glitter. but no one seem
ed quite happy as the sun sank under
the southern ice, for 1t was not TO rise
again for lis days.
The Eskinos took this as a signal to
enter a trance or sadness. in which
the bereavement OF each family and
the discomforts OF the year are enact
ed in dramatic chants or dances.
But TO us the sunset OF 1907 was in-
spiration for the final work In direct
ing the shaping OF the onuit with
which TO begin the conquest OF the |
pole at sunrise OF 1908. Most expedi-
lions have had the advantage OF the
