Kansas City Man Does $1,000 DAM
age With Small Diamond.

Kansas City, Sept. ia man with
small diamond on the little finger
of his right hand walked down Main
street last night from Thirteenth to
Fifth street. When he had finished
his stroll he had done damage that
may reach $1,000. Edward Clark. a
Gameweu operator, followed him the
greater part of his destructive way,
but did nothing except watch until
he reached the City hail. when he re-
ported that a man was cutting plate
glass windows.
Herman Hartmann. p patroIman
arrested the yandal while he was cut
ting window at II East Fifth street
At police headquarters the man gave
the name of James E Stivers and
said he worked for twenty years as
a candy maker for the Loose -Wiles
Company. The diamond with which
he did the cutting was an eighth
carat stone. Sixty-six windows were
cut.
Stivers started his cutting at Thir-
teenth street, where a glazed monu-
ment in front of the Rice Monument
Works attracted him. After making
a few scratches on the stone. he
started for the windows of the Jones
Dry Goods Company. There he cut
seven windows and two doors. At the
Walkover Shoe Company: 1905 Main
street, he stopped long enough to cut
the initials u. f. s." At the Kansas
City Butchers Supply Company. 6O7
Main street, Stivers cut his name in
glass. This was his explanation at po-
lice headquarters:
II was just walking along and
swinging my arms. OF course. the
diamond hit the windows and cut
them. I guess. but 1 didn't mean to
cut them"
In some windows the glass was
only scratched. In others it was cut
so deeply that a tap would have brok-

of relatives and friends up in the
mountains After eating their noon
lunch, Miss Kennedy and a few small
children strolled away some distance
from the rest of the party. 1t was
while they were thus separated that a
large lion 1eaped from a tree, pouncing
upon Miss Kennedy.
The children fed in confusion and
ran for help. 1t was nearly half an
hour before any men from the party
could arrive upon the scene. The first
man to arrive shot the lion, but Miss
Kennedy was found to be terribly
mangled and in an unconscious condi-
ton The entire left side of the body
was lacerated by the teeth and claws
of the infuriated animal. She was
taken to a hospital.
The animal was one of the largest

several years with her mother, but
had lived at Morgan Hill, Cal, for
some time.

Canada Claims the North Pole, De-

Ottawa, Sept. 13.-Canada claims all

the British house of commons as to
the ownership of the North Pole so IN
after the result of Doctor Cooks aid
Peary's exploration became known.
The question was referred to Can5da
for reply.
Canada's answer in effect will be that
all the territory between the North
American boundary and the North Pole
must be recognized as Canada's Hin
terland. The islands, it is maintained,
have been formally taken possession Of

He also carried life insurance to tie

short time ago the Sarbach brothers,

about to break.
Mr.. Sarbach represented Jackson

Charges Against Peary.
New York, Sept. 13.-The opinion Of
a noted French scientist cabled fr onl
Paris today gave warning that tile
North Pole controversalists may o1
struct their own ends. 1t was the first
definite expression of belief that both
Commander Peary and DR.. Cook might
be wrong in believing they had attaIL-
ed the top of the earth.
At the same time there was evident
today a disposition on both sides to
await the arrival of both Peary and
Cook on American soil before making
further charges or presenting more
evidence.
The final arrangements for the re-
ception to DR.. Cook when he arrives
here September 81 are being made to-
day. The executive committee of the
Arctic club of America promises the
demonstration will be no less than the
one explorer received when he landed
in Copenhagen.
Cooks supporters showed some of
their hand today when they gave out
ths import of the socalled mysterious
letter between Rudolph Francke.
Cooks man, and Mrs. Peary. They
explained they gave out the informa-
tion because it refuted the indirect
statement that Mrs. Peary had been
asked to send money to Mrs. Cook.
This letter made charges that Peary
had taken furs belonging to DIR. Cook.

The new Hartman chairman is a

Jacinto, Texas, June %. 1856. His early
education was received in the public
schools of his town and in the Houston
high school. This was followed by pri-
vate instruction and self education. He
mastered the fundamentals of the legal
profession and was admitted to the bar
December %, 1882. This was at Houston
where he opened a law office, in which
he was successful fro mthe start. He
acquired a large practice in civil suits
and later his work attracted such at
tention that he was appointed attorney

signed to accept the position of general
attorney for the Texas & Pacific road.

Documents

New York, Sept. 13.-The following
wireless and cable message has been
received in this city:

Ray, N. F., Sept. ~ have no
knowledge of Cooks having given
Whitney any records. There are no
Cook records on the Roosevelt.
(Signed) "PEARY."
In Copenhagen DIR. Frederick A.
Cook declared that he had given to
Harry Whitney, the wealthy young
hunter, part of the records of his OBJ
servations on his return from the
North pole to Etah, Greenland. DR..
Cook assumed that Whitney would
bring his records to this country. Com
mander Robert E. Peary picked up
Whitney at Etah and was bringing
him south on the Roosevelt when they
met the relief ship Jeanie, to which
Whitney was transferred to continue
his hunting for a few weeks in Baffin
bay.
It was confidently expected by DR..
Cooks supporters here that Mr.. Whit
ney had turned these records over to
Commander Peary and that the latter
would bring them to this country with
him .s

Mr., Lovett was married in Houston,
October 90, 1890, to Miss Lavinia
Abercrombie of Huntsville, Texas.
The new chairman of the Hartman
lines, like Mr.. Hartman, is of small
stature and of wiry build. Mr.. Lovett
is exceedingly slender and weighs but
12O pounds. He has always ranked
with the topnotchers in the legal pro-
fession and was Mr.. Harriman's chief
counsel and advisor. During the sick
ness of the late magnate, he was in
constant touch with Mr.. Hartman
and it is believed that all the details
of the work were fully discussed be-
tween the two so that Mr.. Lovett will
be ready to take up the management
of the great systems under the Har-
riman control, just where the dead
magnate left off.
In politics Mr. Lovett has always
been affiliated with the Democratic
party, although of late he has taken
no active part in politics. In Tex as
before his removal to New York he
was always recognized as a great cam
paigner and rendered yeoman service
to his party. Mr.. Lovett is also a re-
ligious man, and has alawys taken a
deep interest in the work of the Bap-

exert much the same influence as did

to occupy the seat of the dead mag
nate on the stock exchange, and will

Conference at Beverly
Beverly, Sept. 13.-President Taft
and Attorney General Wickersham
had n final conference last night re-
garding the controversy between the
Interior department and the forestry
division of the Department of Agri-
culture.
Mr. Wickersham came to Beverly
direct from an al-day conference
with Secretary Ballinger at New
York.
1t was intimated that a statement
may be forthcoming from the presi-
dent with reference to the BalIinger-
Pinchot affair growing out of the
manner in which the interior depart
ment is administering the conserva-
tion laws.
The president has hoped to end the
controversy before starting on his
trip wednesday and it is believed he
will take some definite action before
that time.
