LODGE BUYS
 LUNCH CART
An Unusual Proceeding By Which True Fraternity
 Is Exempliied

The odd situation of a fraternal lodge being the possessor. of a lunch wagon existed yesterday and part of to-day. Peter F. La Brecque is an energetic member of Park City lodge. No. 59, tx. of F.. and until some time ago conducted a lunch cart at 1430 Main street. Business was not all that it should be and so the wagon was turned over to one Charles D. Carr, a fellow member as, a part payment on a debt due him by La BrecQue. It seems that Carr has of late been in- sisting on the payment of the re- mainder of what is due him. La Brec- que appealed to the lodge for aid and then came the unique method by which the lodge aided it's members and at the same time protected its own interests. The lunch wagon was purchased by the lodge and sold to La Brecque for $237. A larger sum was paid by the lodge for the wagon than is its real worth. but return will be made to the order gradually by La Brecque. The order has protected it. self because the actual ownership does not pass until the whole sum has been paid. By the purchase Carr has re- ceived not only that which was due him, but also a sum that would satisfy him for the sale

S 111H UlEJ OF BROKEN SPLEEN
Former Mayor Clark, Owner of Quarry, Will Make
 Personal Investigation
STONES FELL IN SHOWERS

An autopsy performed by Medical Examiner F. B. Downs this morning on the remains of Antonio Marcelle, who yesterday afternoon was struck on Madison avenue by a large rock from a blast at the jail quarry, show ed that the unfortunate man had died from a fractured spleen. The autopsy further disclosed that the man had four broken ribs on the left side. Dr. Downs reported his findings to Coroner Clifford B. Wilson this morn ing. The coroner is looking up wit nesses at present with a view of hold ing an inquest either tomorrow or Sat urday.
 Marcelle yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock was driving along Madison avenue in his vegetable wagon when he was struck by a rock as large as a water pail. He was removed to St. Vincent's hospital where he died two hours after being struck.
 Ex-Mayor Frank B. Clark who has charge of the quarry work at the jail, being under contract with the county, was not around the place at the time of the accident. but as soon as he learned of the fatality hurried to the scene. He will make an investigation this afternoon
 It was learned this morning that the blast was one of the largest ever sent off at the quarry. There were two holes each about five and one-half feet in length bored in the rocks. In each hole was inserted three cartridges, which is more than the usual number. Passers at a distance of over 1000 feet were hailed with small stones. Win dows of houses in Catherine street, 700 feet distant, were broken, while a good sized rock was hurled through the laundry window at the jail, 400 feet away.
 Complaints about the size of the blasts, and the protection accorded surrounding places have been received by the city and jail authorities. Neigh bors think sufficient covering is not given the blasts.
 Marcelle was 35 years of age and lived with his wife and two children in Wells street Stratford

OXYGEN FOR
 HARTMAN

| (Continued from First Page.) 1 (By Staff Correspondent of the United Press.)
 Turner, Orange County, N. r., Sept 9.-Optimistic reports concerning the condition of B. H. Hartman have given place to the most pessimistic re- ports and there can now be no doubt
 that the financier is in critical con- d1tion and that oxygen is being ad-
 ministered to keep alive the spark of life.
 Tower Hill is today guarded by more armed men than ever before, and these men have orders to use force in keeping intruders away from the place. Hartman himself, according to the
 most authentic reports, is resting in a
 bed of ice packs to reduce his fever. The fight to save Harriman's life now temperature, which, according to re- ports from the house, is varying be- tween 104 and 106 degrees. This fever followed his relapse of Saturday, when he took a short automobile ride Since Sun6ay the fever has remained at this high point, despite the efforts of phy- sicians. Ice bags packed about him have at times pulled down his temper ature fractionally, but each degree his temperature is reduced he has lost just that much in heart action, accord ing to the reports, and the physicians have given up most of the fight against the fever and administer oxy- gen to revive the vitality of the sink ing man.
 The two oxygen tanks taken from the house yesterday and sent to a New York laboratory to be refilled, were re- turned to Arden today on a train that usually does not stop there They were immediately rushed to the Har- riman home in an automobile. An employe of the house said today that two other thanks are at the house and that one of them is almost empty.
 No authoritative information could be secured from the Hartman home today. All callers were stopped near 1y half a. mile from the house by arm ed guards. Dr. W. G. Lyle, MT. liar riman's personal physician, refused to answer written communications or telephone messages.
 While Harriman's life was hanging in the balance up at the "big house. a rather depressed wedding party at tended St. Anasthasia's chapel at Ar den. The parlor maid at the Harri- man home and Tom Murphy, assist ant engineer at the Tower Hill power plant, who were engaged before MT. Harriman'S trip to Europe, faced Fa- ther McAran in the little chapel The young couple had consulted Mrs. Har- riman when the financier returned from Europe and had offered to post pone the wedding until MT. Harriman's condition changed.
 'qNonsense," said Mrs Harriman and the arrangements were immediately made for the wedding. Mrs Harri- man gave the young couple a substan- tial start in housekeeping.

NATIONS DIVIDED IN WAR BETWEEN
 POLAR EXPLORERS

New York, Sept. 9.-Cable messages received here from London. Paris Berlin and Copenhagen by the United Press indicates that the rival claims of Cook and Peary are being made the subject of international controversies
 InrDenmark and Germany. the feel ing is entirely pro-Cook. France is re- maining neutral and demanding proof from both Cook and Peary. while Eng fish scientists as a whole refuse to ac- cept Cooks story and hail Peary as a hero German scientists. on the other hand, are equally loud in denouncing Peary for his charges, and in declar- reach the Pole, should receive all hon.
 The reasons for this geographical division of sentiment is almost clearly apparent. and called upon two of the foremost Danish explorers to substantiate his claims. Denmark hailed him as the real discoverer and refuses to allow Peary's statement to shake that belief.
 German savants accepted Cook s story when it was announced that Cooks real family name was Koch, that his father came from Germany and that he was distant relative to Dr. Koch, the great tuberculosis. ex- pert. As a German, Germany accept ed his claims and hailed him discover- CT. German scientists united in de- claring that Peary acted at the wrong time in making his charges and de- clare they are uncalled for.
 In England an entire revulsion of feeling is noted. English papers and English scientists are just as strong unit in declaring that Cook has never been near to the ,Pole Peary's simple statement that he has reached the top of the world has been accepted with out question.
 Thus the controversy about geo. gra phical locations has resolved itself into a controversy of geogr aphically

PROF. MARVIN IS
 MARTYR ITO POLE
Scientist of Peary Expedi- tion Drowned While Lead
 ing Supporting Party
HAD PROCURED FOOD
(specia1. from United Press.

| Special from United Press.) Elmira, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Prof. Ross Gilmore Marvin, of Cornell, the only
 man who lost his life with the suc- cessful Peary expedition, had himself
 gone further north than all Arctic ex- petitions have except the Nansen,
 Abruzzi, and Peary expeditions, and he
 was only leading the supporting party, which followed slowly in the footsteps
 of the light party which made the
 Polar dash, to supply them with food
 on the return trip.
 Prof Marvin, though still in his
 twenties, was first assistant to Peary
 and chief scientist to the party. He
 was born. in Elmira and worked his
 way through Cornell college, in which
 he was a lecturer He was then an
 expert civil engineer and a man Of
 great personal strength. This was
 Prof. Marvin's second journey in
 search of the Pole. He accompanied During that expedition. Marvin accom-
 panied Peary in his final ''dash" from
 the last camping place of the expedi- tion in the desperate search for the
 Pole. After they had travelled north ward for several days in three dog
 sleds, it was discovered that they did not have sufficient food to keep them both on the dash So. taking just as little food as he could subsist on, Marvin left Peary and retreated south ward to the camp, leaving Peary to make the final Polar dash alone Peary was unsuccessful, but he paid high tribute to Marvin's courage in making his trip almost without food.
 When Peary prepared for his pres ent Polar dash. he asked Marvin to accompany him. The authorities at Cornell did not wish Marvin to leave. but finally consented to give him leave of absence.
 That Peary placed confidence in Marvin is shown by the fact that Mar win commanded the supporting" ex- petition. Tn Polar dashes one small party is told off to make the dash. This party travels with the main party as far north as possible. Then. trav- cling Tight" it leaves the main body, to proceed more slowly and makes a flying dash toward the Pole. The main body, moving slowly because 1t carries the supplies follows, to fur nish food to the lighter party when it as far north as possible, to be ready to succor the lighter party on its re- turn. This supporting column, led by Prof. Marvin, reached the Seth paral- Tel. Only three other parties had ever gone further north. Nansen got 10 Abruzzi expedition), to SC degrees 34 seconds; and Peary got to ST degrees minutes.
 Marvin was five feet il inches tall and weighed 160 pounds. He followed Peary to the Seth degree and there waited for him, furnishing him food for his return trip: Marvin was acc1- aentally drowned 45 miles north of Cape Columbia, while returning April 10, after having procured food for | Peary.
 Mrs. Mary Marvin today received a | telegram from her daughter at Wilkes barre, Pa, confirming the news of the 1eath of her son. Commander Peary had wired the daughter to break the news to the mother. Mrs. Marvin is bearing up as brave1y as possible, say ns the death of her son is the will of Sod.
