teriologist Wilson was removed
from office. 1t was charged then
that Wilson had analysed the wa
ter supply and found it contamin-
ated, and that his refusal to make
a report declaring the water pure
was one reason for his removal.
The administration denied this.

COOK STARTS TO
MT. M'KINLEY
IN SPRING

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 19.-In
an interview here today with the
United Press, DR.. Frederick A.
Cook. the Brooklyn explorer, re.
iterated the statement that he
again is to brave hardships and
death by leading an expedition
for the records which he says he
left on the summit of Mount Nc
Kinley. the highest mountain In
Alaska.
DN Cook said that II wouli
take two months for him to com.
plete his arrangements for the
trip and that 1t would require
three more months TO reach Alas
ka and accomplish the feat.
If the present plans of the ex-
plorer do not miscarry he proba-
|bly will start on his expedition
early in the spring.
After this week DR.. Cook will
cancel all of his lecture dates and
devote his entire time in making
preparations for the journey
When asked IL he was willing 10
stake the polar controversy ON
whether the Mount Mckinley rec
ords were found the explorer
said:
"I could not do that. The
polar records must stand for
themselves. A malicious attack
has been made on my veracity
and / hope that my journey. 70
Mount Mckinley will silence my
detractors.

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 19.-The
naval academy has just lost a
member who might some day have
won his laurels on the board of

Midshipman Stern flashed a tel

they let him go. When 1t was
about time for the MILDLY to re-

dear uncle had cashed in, made
its appearance. Leave of absence
extended.
Hard luck seemed to camp up
on the young mans trail, for he
then wired that he was i'll with
appendicitis. Just when mes

of course, it is very hard for him
to suffer prosecution like any or

Calhoun case there are the cases
against eleven or twelve other

TAFT READY FOR THAT
Wild CAT HUNT

The explanation of this happy
condition was found in the fact
that the president spent the night
in the ranch house of his brother,
Charles p. Taft, three miles from
Gregory.
Unless the president changes his
mind, he will spend the entire
day upon the ranch. playing golf
notwithstanding and resting
Wednesday and Thursday will
furnish some excitement in the
shape of wildcat and jack-rabbi'
hunting. Cats are chased with
dogs through the mesquite brush

lget the wildcat, or the wildcat gel

Is POLLUTED WATER
CAUSE OF TYPHOID?

Has the present administration
been suppressing the facts con-
corning pollution in the present
water supply all summer, while
citizens were exposed to contagion
from this source?
There promises to be an inves-
tigation into the matter at the
council meeting tomorrow night.
The September health report
came out this week, and it shows
four deaths from typhoid fever
and 80 cases now in the city. The
health office says these should
not all be credited to the city, as
some are shipped in from outside
to the N. P. hospital.
Councilmen who have been scru-
tlnizing the report, however, find
in the figures a condition that
they do not like.

Flushing, n. Y, Jan. H.--At mid

Thornton Jenkins Hams, charged
with the killing of William E. Annis.
was still celebrating upon the case.
1t has been out several hours, but
no word has come to Justice Crane
on what progress has been made. Be
cause of the condition OF Juror Walsh,
injured in street car accident, and
slight indisposition of Patrick
Ahearn, the eleventh juror, Justice
Crane was loath to lock the jury up
for the night in the jury room, there
being no hotel accommodations for
the jury In Flushing.
Justice Crane said he would prob
ably lock the jury up about l o'clock
If no verdict had been reached by
that time.
Thornton Hams remained under
guard in the sheriff's office.
The jury retired at 4:55 O'Clock this
afternoon to determine whether the
indictment charging him with being
a principal with his brother Captain
Peter G. Hams, Jr., in the killing of
William F. Annis, was proved or not.
The jurors had deliberated about so
minutes when they went out for din
ner, returning to the jury room in less
than half an hour. The case was
given to the jury after Prosecutor
Darrin had completed his closing
speech and Justice Crane had charged
the jury and reviewed the evidence.
Justice Crane sent word to the jur-
ors that he would remain up all night
10 receive Il verdict. BY arrangement
with counsel, n physician remained
near the jury room to minister to
Juror Walsh, should his injuries de-
mand it.
The states attorney attacked the
plea of insanity that had been made
with regard to Captain Hams, saying
1t was the plan of the counsel for
the defense to endeavor when the
captain comes to trial to show that he
