HALLErS COMET IS CAUGHT
REPRODUCTIVE PHOTOGRAPH
SECURED AT YERKES.
At the Same Time Some Invisible
Stars Are Pictured by the
Cameras Lens

CHICAGO, September 3o.-A remarka-
BILE feat has been accomplished by Prof.
Edwin B. Frost and his corps of assist
ants at Yerkes observatory, Williams bay.
Wis. in taking a reproducible photograph
of Halley's comet. The Photographic
Plate was exposed for a period OF two
hours and thirty minutes.
1t is the first photograph taken in the
United StateT or. it is believed, in the
world since the return of this heavenly
visitor on which the comet can be seen
with the naked eye.
Since the recent return of Halleys
comet Prof. Frost, Prof. Sherburne w.
Burnham, Oliver J. Lee and other as
sistants at the observatory have been
interchangeable in their work of following
its course
Prof. Burnham was the first to obtain
actual sight of the heavenly body
through the big forty-inch telescope at
the observatory. The securing OF this re-
producible photograph also is regarded as
a most noteworthy achievement, and the
observatory forces are highly elated at
their success.
The photograph was taken with two
foot reflector. The plate was exposed
from IL to 3:42 am. on September -.
.... Slightly Elongated.
The comet is slightly elongated, due
to its motion during the long exposure.
The picture was much enlarged and the
other white spots on the plate in real
ity represent very faint stars, none of
which is visible to the naked eye. The
faintest stars shown on the original plate
are, in fact, about $4,000 times as faint
as the faintest star that can be seen
with the naked eye without a telescope
on a clear night.
The largest star image in the picture
Is of a star of about the eighth masni-
tude. or two magnitudes fainter than the
limit of naked eye visibility.
The comets distance from the earth
is now about 3J0.O@0.O0O miles. while its
least distance from the earth will be
about 12.G0,Oo0 miles-next spring.

OPEN DOOR DOCTRINE VIOLATED
JAPAN TREATIES NOT
YET PROTESTED.
representations May Be Made After
Secretary Knox Has Con-
sidered Text.

The published statement that this gov.
eminent had decided To make protest
against the treaties concluded early in
the present month between China and
Japan is declared by competent authority
10 be unfounded. 1t is said to be doubt
ful whether Secretary Knox up to this
time has given the matter serious consid-
Grafton
Although there are provisions in tho
two treaties which do not seem consistent
with the open door doctrine inaugurated
by the United States and subscribed to by
Japan, as well as by the leading powers
of Europe. this government has not as
Yet decided To make objection to them.
Representations however, may be made
later.
The provis on in one of the treaties
that China must consult Japan before
she can extend her present railway eys.
tenn in Manchuria is not regarded with
favor. Japan. by eXacting such pledge
it is said is violating that article In the
Portsmouth treaty whereby Japan and
Russia agreed not to obstruct any meas
ures which the Chinese government might
take for commercial development of her
empire.
1t is also pointed out that while Japan.
in these agreements. has arranged with
China for the building of railroads in
ManchurIa, for which Japan is to furnish
part Of the capital. her insistence on
China's consulting her before building ex-
tensions OF the Chinese imperial railways
practically precludes the introduction OF
other foreign capita! for that purpose.
The provision whereby China grants to
Japan the exclusive right to operate
Jointly with Chinese capitalists the mines
on both sides of the AntungMukden and
South Manchurian railways does not
meet with general approval.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The slight buying that took place i'm the
bond list at tOday'S meeting of the eX-
change is the only thing that saved the
record Of the days transactions from go
ing down as perhaps the lightest for this
period of the year i'm some time.
Even that buying was by no means gen.
eral, as 1t was practically all done by one
broker, who came in with a little bunch
of orders for bonds which he proceeded to
execute at the current rates. Among
other bonds purchased were two Capital
Traction ) per cent bonds. for which 116
was paid. He could have had another
bond for the same price, but he did not
make another bid, and the best figure for
it was 115l2.
At this time and when the stock of the
company was called there was more or
less talk about the dealing in the rights.
as they are called. or the privilege which
attaches to the stock of pro rata sub
scription to the new issue at par. The in
quiry was made as to why these rights
could not be at once dealt in, and the
broker who is looked upon as the repre-
sentative of the company said that the
reason was the certificates for the rights
had not as yet been issued.
Some OF the brokers maintained as long
as the stock was dealt in EEK rights
that a chance should he given to stock
holders to dispose OF their privileges on
the exchange. where a regular market
would establish the current prices, in
stead of being obliged to deal on the
be ready some time this week, but it is
understood the governing committee will
take the matter up today, and probably
will direct that the rights be listed, SO as
to be traded i'm regularly.
The matter is of some consequence to
the stockholders. as they wish to know
the exact market value of the rights
which they have secured along with the
stock, SO that in the event they do not
wish to subscribe for the new issue of
bonds they can get what is due for their
rights. One OF the brokers, as il he
wanted every one to know what his idea
of the value of the rights are, called
out that he would bid $1.JO for the rights
on one thousand shares. which is said to
be an equivalent to S112.50 for every
one hundred dollars of bonds.
1t is supposed the new bonds will take
their place on the market about at the
same level as that of the outstanding
bonds of the same issue, and if that is the
case they will sell In the neighborhood
of 116.
The upward course of Mergenthaler,
which has been the feature of the deal
ing i'm that stock recently, continued to-
day, and two quotation lots sold for
216s4, which is the best price thus far
paid. The stock was then offered at that
level, but the bid receded to 2167s.
There was no trading in Lanston. but
the bid fell to 1Ss4, with the asking price
at 1911:

EXPLORER GOES TO NEW YORK

The subcommittee of the research COM
mittee of the National Geographic So
ciety met Commander Peary, the arctic
explorer, at its session yesterday after
noon. At the close of the meeting he was
informed that he would not be needed
here from this time
As explained i'm The Star of yesterday.
the committee desired other original rec
ords. data made at the time and on the
spot. for comparison and checking with
what had already been furnished. together
with certain instruments, the character Of
which will not be disclosed until after the
report of the subcommittee has been con-
sidered and adopted by the full commit
tee.
IL was also explained that the society
had intimated to Commander Peary that
il would be pleased to have him deliver a
lecture on his dash to the pole November
IL. Commander Peary minated 1t would
be agreeable to him to do so.
Explorer Goes to New York.
The explorer left the city for New
York last night on his way to Boston
and Portland. Before going he declined
to discuss either his trip to the pole or
DR.. Cooks claim,
Il have not a word TO say now said
he. II came here to give the research
committee. which is examining my
records, such information as 1t desired.
Until the committee has finally re-
ported upon my records ! would rather
not say anything further about my trip
into the north or about DIR. Cook"
Admiral Chester. a member of the sub
committee, explained that the present
duty of the research committee was
merely to decide whether Commander
Peary had reached the north pole upon
April of this year. as he claims to have
done. The committee had nothing what
ever to do with the controversy as to
whether DR.. Cook did or not
las matters now stand" he said I'VE
are prepared TO make full report to the
society without delay
Moore Attends Session.
Prof. Willis l.. Moore, president of the
National Geographic Society, attended a
part of the subcommittee session yes
terday afternoon.
Z. H. Tittman, superintendent OF the
coast and geodetic survey. and a member
of the subcommittee. did not meet with
the committee until late i'm the afternoon
Then he called with Gilbert III. Grosvenor,
editor of the scientific magazine published
by the National Geographic Society.
The impression prevails that members of
the society familiar with the records sub
mitted by Commander feary are satisfied
that he reached the north pole when he
said he did. The explorers own unques-
tionable confidence in himself and his
records is said to have been reassuring to
friends in this city.
II is believed that the decision cr the
National Geographic Society as to Com
mander Peary's claims, together with all
the data in support of them will be made
public within short time. Commander
Peary SO intimated i'm conversation yes
terday.
