DEAL EXPOSED IN 1907.

1t was at the investigation into the affairs of
the marlborough Metropolitan Company before
the Public Service Commission In October of
1907. which conducted by William NJ
Ivins. that the story of the Wall and CortIandt
Street Ferries Railway deal came out. Anthony
n Brady told of the transaction.
The Wall and Cortlandt Street Ferries Rail-
way Company. which has a capital stock OF
81 100000 and $1,OO0,OOO of bonds. owns fran
chises from the Wall street and Fulton street
ferries to the Liberty and CortIandt street fer
ries, but the road has not been built. In 1898
the Central Trust Company foreclosed on the
company and took it's assets. The courts
declared the franchises to be worthless.
Mr Brady. according to his testimony the

capes on shipboard, a number of yes
sells having been wrecked by ice bergs
and otherwise. The latter are so large,
stated the professor that it has been
estimated that it would take seven or
eight years for one to melt If it were
transported bodily to Kansas. Some of
the bergs are a quarter of mile in
length and several hundred feet high,
and their immense proportions can be
realized when the fact is taken into
consideration that nine-tenths of their
bulk is under the water. The speaker
told some interesting tales of WaIrus
and polar bear hunting with which
there was a great amount of danger
attached. illustrating with photographs
of the specimens he actually bagged and
which are now on exhibit in the
museum at the State university
The speaker explained that the idea
that he was born in Kansas is not so.
for it was in Virginia that that impor-
tant event transpired, but he fastened
to Kansas as soon as it was possible,
arriving in Lawrence when but three
months old.
The photograph of an iceberg shown
by Prof Dyche is the same as the pho
tCgrapn which DR.. Cook uses to ill1s-
trate his thrilling story of his trip to
the pole. Prof. Dyche and DR.. Cook
were together and the picture was ia
ken from the ship Miranda in 1904
Since Prof. Dyche agreed to deliver
his lecture he has received a large num-
Der of letters requesting him to lecture
in Kansas towns. Among them were
requests from Oklahoma, Missouri and
Nebraska
