WHO IS whitney,
Career of Man Who Enters Cook.
Peary Polar Controversy.
Is Perfect Specimen Of the clubman'
Sportsman and Went North with
Peary to Hunt-A Good Writer
and Story-Telier.

New Haven Conn.-"What sort OF
a man is Harry Whitney," This Is
the question that is being asked of
every New Havenite. man, woman or
child, who ventures into the zone OF
the C~ook-Peary polar controversy. To
reply to it accurately is a matter OF
more than a word or two.
Harry Whitney has had an inter
esting career. "The quiet sportsman"
he has been called, for his adventures
have been enjoyed and suffered with
out press notices, except when they
could not be avoided. The world has
been the theater of his exploits. and
the arctic regions were about the last
section of the globe left for him to
visit when he joined the Peary party.
1t is not commonly known that when
Whitney decided to become a member
of the Peary party half a dozen other
wealthy clubmen agreed to take the
trip. There was no individual scheme
on his part to join in the dash for the
pole, but an agreement reached by
clubmen, probably in a New York
club, after tales of previous adven-
lures had been exchanged and the
view taken that the world seemed to
be growing tame. Frank Carnegie was
one of the party who agreed to take
part in the expedition. He is a nephew
Of Andrew Carnegie and his plans were
vetoed as soon as they were men
toned at home. Indeed, a veto was
uttered upon all those Of the party
except Whitney, whose step-mother's
wish did not dissuade him from his
scheme.
Whitney left on the Roosevelt, which
sailed from New Bedford July 8, 1908.
He went to New Bedford some time
before the party left there and had
two neat power boats built there, of

SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS
OUTPUT OF ALABAMA, ARKAN
SAS AND TENNESSEE.
Enormous Quantities Of the Carbon
Left to Be Brought Out for
Market and Industries.

Washington.-The production OF coal
in Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee in
1908 il interestingly discussed by Sta
tician Edward w. Parker of the
geological survey, department Of the
interior, whose report on the produc-
ton Of coal throughout the United
States and its possessions has just been
issued.
Alabama-Total production in 1908,
II ,6o4, 500; spot value. $14,647, s91.
Arkansas-Total production in 1908,
2~,O7s,357 short tons; spot value, $780,
47O.
Tennessee-Total production in 1908,
$780, III short tons; spot value, $7,116,-
400.
According to the estimates prepared
by M. R. Campbell, of the United States
geological survey, the original coal sup
ply of Alabama when mining began was
6S, 9O3, GOO, 900 short tons, of which So,
513,O OO, 900 tons were in the Warrior and
Plateau fields, 1894, 900 tons were in
the Cahaba and 1896. 900 tons in the
Coosa field. From this total supply OF
approximately $4,000, ooo,o 900 tons there
hah been mined, at the close of 1908
~176,33s,903 tons, representing an ex-
haustion, including waste in mining, OF
2e4,0Oo,OO0 tons, OF nearly GA per cent
of the total estimated supply.
The total original supply of coal in
Arkansas was 1887, 900 900 short tons
of which 1897, o0o, 900 were bituminous
and semi-anthracite and 10000, 900 tons
were Ignite.
The total production of Tennessee to
the close of 1908 amounted to 90,503,
772 short tons, representing an exhaus
ton of 135,000,0OO. According to the
estimate by Marius r. Campbell, of the
United States geological survey, the
bituminous coal fields of Tennessee cove,
an area of 400 square miles, the orig
NAL contents Of which, when mining be
gan, were 1866, 900, 900 short tons, OF
which the exhaustion to the close OF
1908 represented a little more than one
half of one per cent. of the total esti'
mated supply.

CANAL WANTS $40, 063, 524
SIS, 5o4. O36 for Labor and $2O,21S-
0S3 for Material and Supplies.

Washington.-The Panama canal COM
mission has submitted to the secretary
of war an estimate of appropriations ag-
gregating $4s,063,524 for work on the
canal during the fiscal year, beginning
July l, 1910.
The total appropriations made by con-
gress up to this time on account OF the
canal are $210,070,46S. Col. Goethals,
the chairman and the chief engineer OF
the commission, has declared it to be
his opinion that the great waterway will
be completed by January l, 1915, and
has estimated the total cost at $685.
100000, which, however, includes the
cost of sanitation and civil government,
and the $50, 900, 900 purchase price.
The unusually large amount asked for
the new fiscal year probably is due to
the fact that work on the waterway
has entered a more advanced stage.

DEWEY DEFENDS NAVY
SAYS IT WOULD GIVE GOOD AC.
COUNT IN WAR.
American Fleet Not a "BluF" to
Those Who Know the True
Condition of Affairs.

MISUNDERSTANDING with charac-
t~eristic vigor the American navy, Adj
miral George Dewey Thursday asserted
that not only is our navy not a bluff,
but that he is confident it would give a
good account of itself should war ever
come.
The admiral's remarkes were called
forth by a statement attributed to form
er Representative Lands, of Indiana,
who, in a recent speech at Cincinnati,
O., in advocating ship subsidy, is re-
ported to have said that 'those Ameri-
cans who are informed consider our navy
a bluff" The expression was charac-
terized by Admiral Dewey as an "unfor-
tunate" one. Declaring that he saw no
war clouds gathering on the horizon,
Admiral Dewey discussed several fea-
lures of the naval establishment and
made a strong plea for the continued
upbuilding of the navy.

MANHOLE BLOWS UP.
Series of Sewer Explosions Shake
New York West Side.

New YORK est Sl0e.
New York.-Nearly a square mile OF
the middle West Side was shaken Thurs
day Afternoon by a series of sewer ex-
plosions, which blew manhole covers high
into the air in crowded thoroughfares,
injuring several persons, did considerable
damage to property and caused a mo-
ment of sharp panic. Alarms of fire
were turned in, the police reserves called
out and factory employees, shopkeepers
and tenement jewellers rushed to the
open streets, for the explosion had the
force of earth shocks.
Se~ven-year-old Emil Miller was stand
ing on a manhole cover when the first
rumble came. He and the cover shot up
ten feet, and Emil came down about a
foot from the manhole, out OF which
flames were pouring. He was badly
burned about the face and body and
taken unconscious to a hospital where 1t
was said his condition was serious. The
police explain the explosion by the ac-
cidental ignition of sewer gas mixed with
gasoline vapor from the waste discharges
of the many garages in the neighborhood.
Some careless smoker, they think, cast
a lighted cigar stub into the sewer open

AVERT RACE WAR IN TEXAS
Attempt to Gust Blacks May Result
in Serious Trouble.

Tom Ball, Tex.-But for a leader
among the blacks, a race war, perhaps,
was averted in this town Friday night.
Following posting of notices on the doors
of the negroes cabins, signed White
Citizens" and warning them to leave
town before morning, the blacks are pre-
pairing for an outbreak, should an at
tempt be made to back up the threats.
Since the absence of work in the fields
owing to the prolonged drouth, many OF
the white laborers are turning to the
mills for employment. Many OF these
Jobs are held by the negroes, and efforts
to displace them have proven futile. The
lumber mills favor the white men IN
new employment, but it is said will re-
sent any effort to disrupt the present
force.

RELATING Is CONDEMNED
Underwriters at Louisville Arraign
Sharp Practices.

Louisville, Ky.-Those insurance men
who, in the trade yernacular, have been
guilty of ''rebating," twisting" and
"part-timing," were bitterly arraigned at
Fridays session of the National Asso-
citation of Life Underwriters, in conyen-
ton in this city. The aim of the pres
emit convention is to raise the standards
of the business in every way and a gen.
eral summary of the insurance upheav-
ais of the past few years, with an index
of proper future methods, is expected
to be the contribution of the present
gathering.
The belief of the 400 underwriters
gathered here is, according to President
Charles Jerome Edwards, that the I'M
friendly legislation of the past is ended
and that the companies which observe
proper standards will be given charter
powers of wide scope.

WALSH MUST SERVE TERM
Appeals Court finds Criminal Intent
in Transactions.

Chicago.-The verdict of the trial
court, which found John R. Walsh guilty
of transportation of the funds of the
Chicago National Bank, was affirmed by
the United States circuit court of APP
peals here Tuesday.
Mr.. Walsh must serve the sentence of
five years. Imprisonment imposed upon
him by the trial jury, unless the supreme
court upsets affirmation of the verdict of
guilty.
Counsel for Mr.. Walsh in their appeal
laid the greatest stress on what they
alleged was a LACE of criminal intent on
the part of the defendant. In their very
lengthy brief much law was quoted to
show that the convicted banker, news
paper publisher and railroad owner used
the funds of the bank in what he con-

Harry Whitney.

whale boat model, which he presented
to Peary as part of the expeditions
equipment.
Whitney is a perfect specimen of
the clubman-sportsman. His father,
the late Stephen Whitney. was another
such. and was known in New York
and New Haven clubs as "a thorough
bred"
Harry Whitney is the elder of the
two sons of Stephen Whitney, and has
two sisters older than himself. His
younger half-brother is Stephen Whit
ney. Harry's mother and Stephens
mother were sisters and the daughters
of the late Bradish johnson of New
York city and Long Island. Mr.. John
son was a clubman and country gen.
tleman Of prominence and wealth, and
much of his property was left to Harry
and to Harry's step-brother. Both
Harry's father and mother are dead.
Harry Whitney did not care to go to
college, but on leaving the high school
decided to learn the copper manufac.
turing business. He spent three years
in factories in Ansonia. Conn, and
then decided that he did not like the
steady confinement of the work. Con-
ceiving the idea of managing an Aus
tralian sheep ranch, he made careful
preparations for the venture and
sailed from New York city for Aus,
tralia, where he purchased a ranch.
This business vas well started when a
severe drought killed the sheep and
Whitney abandoned the plan and came
home.
His love for ranching and open-air
life remained, however, and he pur.
chased an Arizona ranch, where he
has remained a couple of months each
wear. He had a narrow escape from
death in a peculiar manner while on
his Arizona ranch a few years ago.
He was riding OF a mustang when an
insect flew into his ear. He used
every means to dislodge the creature,
whose presense. created e~xcruciating
main. Tucson, the nearest place where
a surgeon might be found, was 100
miles away, but he headed for it and
rode at top speed. When he reached
Tucson he was raving mad and was
stopped for an insane man. His fate
would have been uncertain but for an
Elks' pin that he wore Prominent of.
ficers of that order interested them.
selves in his case and he was taken
to st. Mary's hospital in that city.
where the physicians found out bis
trouble and relieved him of the insect.
In his physique Harry Whitney is
slight. He is unusually tall, although
q little stoop prevents this character
istic from being too evident. His face.
from exposure to the weather. is as
rudy as a sea captains. and a light
dropping mustache covers his month.
