a RELIABLE WAY TO TEST The

There Is one means OF determining
with certainty whether OF not Dr

OF his alleged expedition TO the North
Pole he claims to have discovered

longitude 100 west
Concerning the land. which he
named for his patron. John II. Brad
ley. Dr. Cook said In his description
OF his journey:
The land. as we saw II. gave the
impression OF being two islands. but
our observations were insufficient "a
warrant such an assertion. This land
has an irregular mountain skyline and
Is perhaps 1900 feet high
II Is proposed 10 send an expedition
next summer 10 bring the two Eskimo
whom he alleges accompanied him 10
the pole and the records and other
property which Cook entrusted 10
Whitney. Why not arrange for this
expedition 10 proceed to the point
where Cook says he found Bradley
Land! n Il be found according to his
description all unprejudiced people
would accept this fact as satisfactory
proof that the narrative Is true in all
essential particulars.

A SNOW STORM
OVER ST. LOUIS
Balloonists Encountered One
Two Miles Above the Earth
Sunday Night

Ste Louis, July 27.-A midsummer
snow storm two miles above the earth
caused John Perry, Paul J. McCul-
Tough and John S. Thurman, who as
cended here Sunday night in the bal
loon University City in an attempt to
capture the Lahm cup. to land near
Savannah, ILL.,, yesterday. They trav-
eled 242 miles mostly through rain.
The attempt to win the cup was given
up after the bag, netting and basket
became SO wet that the gas would no
longer support the weight. AT one
time when we were trying to get out
of the snow Storm" said Capt. Berry
over the long distance telephone, we
rose to $4,000 feet. We were in rain
clouds nearly all night and got soak
ing wet. At o'clock in the morning,
after had thrown out ballast we left
the rain cloud and went into snow
At times the basket swung around like
a top. Sleet cut our faces, and we had
to keep brushing snow off the edge of
the basket to prevent its weight from
retarding our flight"
The landing was made in wheat
field nine miles north of Savannah,
Ill. The distance covered was about
233 miles short of the Lamb cup rec
ord established by Capt. Charles De
Forest Chandler in flight from st.
Louis in October. 1907.

ly us to the Mental Condition of the
Slayer OF Stanford White-Denies
Threat to Kill Wife.

White Plains. N. Y, July 27.-There
was small prospect that Harry X.
Thaw would reach the stand at today's
session when the supreme court re-
sumed tie hearings this morning on
his application for release from the
Matteawan criminal insane asylum.
DIR. Britton d. Evans, who declared
yesterday that Thaw was not and
never had been paranoiac, continued
testifying today. DIR. Evans cross
examination by District Attorney
Jerome was expected to be long and
searching d." Isham d. Harris of the
Hudson river state hospital for the
insane, came iEts court with the 'rhaw
party and said he expected to fol,ow
Dr. Evans on the stand.
Thaw is eager to testify. He en-
tered the court room today looking
unusually buoyant. 81 will never go
back to Matteawan," he said Il am
we'll satisfied with the way the hear
ing has gone thus far and am not
afraid to face Jerome"
In two respects the hearing is a
reminder of the two homicide trials,
which Thaw underwent. District At
torney Jerome of New York, at the
request OF the attorney generals office,
appeared in court and took entire
charge of the states case. Thaw and
Jerome sat so close together that their
chairs touched but if the prisoner had
any fear of the man who prosecuted
him. his face did not show ii.
All but one of the witnesses were
Thaws and his equanimity was un-
disturbed. At times he and the New
York district attorney chatted and
smiled like old friends reunited.
The other familiar feature of the
hearing yesterday was DR.. Evans.
famous for his introduction at the
trials of the term brain storm"
DR.. Evans testified that Thaw was
not now and never has had the par
ticular kind of insanity known as
"paranoia,' which the state and coun-
ty authorities contend still affltcts
him.
The Oldest practicing physician in
White Plains, and one of the youngest
also testified. Both said that Thaw
was mentally sound. Dr. Henry Ernst
Schmidt, aged S0 qualified as an
alienist while the younger man, Dr.
William j. Meyer. testified in his capa-
city of White Plains Jail physician
which gave him numerous opportuni-
ties of seeing and talking with the
prisoner.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw did not come to
White Plains today. Mr.. Jerome said
that she was still under subpoena and
might be called for DISCRIMINATION
after Thaw testities. DIR. Evans said
today that during recent talk with
Thaw in the Jail here the prisoner
declared that his wife's assertion OH
the stand the week before last that
Thaw had threatened to kill her was
false.
Thaw is expected to repeat this on
the stand and the state may call his
wife to make the charge once more.

Russia Will Abandon the Agreement
With China Concerning Railroad.
st. Petersburg, July 27.-In defer
ence to the attitude Of the American
and other governments Russia is con-
templating the abandonment of the
Manchurian agreement recently
negotiated with China. This agree
ment arranged for the administration
OF the municipalities in the railroad
zone of Manchuria and the establish
ment Of foreign settlements which
plan meets with most favor at treaty
ports and other parts Of China. The
Russian foreign office originally ad-
vocated this solution, but yielded to
the representations made by the min
lister of finance, who is interested in
defending the railroad privileges. The
protest of foreign governments and
the attitude of the Russian press,
however, have convinced the earlier
advocates of. Gen. Horvaths scheme
that 1t will lead only to friction and
they are now advocating the settle
ment idea. The railroad representa-
tives have not yet been converted to
the new plan and are endeavoring to
have the negotiations of the supple,
mentary agreement fixing the details
of municipal councils transferred to
Harbin instead Of Peking as desired
by China.

FREE HIDE MEMBERS % NOT
WANT FREE LEATHER GOODS
II They Are Forced to Take the Form.

on the Latter As An Offset to the
Loss to Their Constituents

Washington, July 27.-When the
conferees OF the two houses of con-
gress OH tho tariff bill resumed work
today it was with the intention of TAX
ing up other subjects than hides. the
last few days. have been devoted al
most exclusively, to the latter subject
and tho members OF the conference
were hopeful, that in view OF tho
OF tho hide duty until after tine house
could act, they would DO in position
to proceed with the other features of
the bill, and thus get the whole meas
ure in shape for presentation to tho
senate and the house as soon as tho
rates in the leather schedules should
be fixed, in case tho house authorizes
the reduction.
The opponents of free hides realized
tina: tho problem had been shifted
from the conference room to the
house Of representatives. 1t is not
true that the opponents are willing to
take free hides II they could get free
leather land FREQ leather goods. 1t
they have to take free hides they want
tha hide products also free. but they
do not in reality desire that either
hides or leather or leather goods
should be placed upon the free list.
Therefore, many of the free hide men
will refuse to vote for the resolution
authorizing the reduction from the
house rate on leather and leather
goods
So confident were the conferees that
tho Republican whip" of the house
was instructed to have every Repub-
lican member present next Thursday.
1t is expected the resolution author
izing the house conferees to agree to
the reduction of the rates on leather
and leather goods will be presented
tomorrow. 1t is further expected that
by the time this resolution is intro
duced the full conference report will
be prepared and ready for submission

Goshen, Ind, July 27.-The petition
of the American Sheet and Tin Plate
company for an injunction against its
striking employees at the Elwood, Ind.
plant, was denied by Judge Baker In
the United States circuit court here
late yesterday. Judge Baker based
his decision, he said, upon the fact
that the aftidavits Of the company did
not make any specific allegations
against any of the defendants and that
it had not been shown that the de-
PENDANTS had attempted to interfere
with the freedom of the petitioner In
the labor market
Judge Baker held that the strikers
had a right to organize and leave
their employers in body and that
the strikers could maintain a system
of picketing so long as they did not
interfere with the employers access
to the labor market. Elwood city au-
thorities testified that the strikers had
