RUMORED THAT DUKE
OF ABRUZZI MAY BE
ARBIrER Z
ITALIAN CONSUL IN 3
DENVER HEARS PORT
Prince Of House Of Savoy is
Himself a Famous
Arctic Explorer

Denver, Sept l6-Semi-officially
Denver has been informed that TIE
Duke d'Abruzzi will be arbiter in the
controversy concerning the discovery
of the North Pole From here thc
news he's gone out and various fea-
tlres in connection with d'Abuzzts
soiourn in London Z. this time are
being offered as confhmatory eyi-
1ence.
The Italian consulate at Denver
will neither confirm nor deny the
story, but it is said tina the local
consul IS in possession Of the facts
N the case.
His refusal to deny The report is
taken as giving color to It's authen-
ticity.
Instead Of appointing an arbiter
from France to settle the respective
claims of Dr. Frederick Cook and
Commander Robert Pcary the Tal
ian will be called upon by reason of
his having reached the second fa~th-
est point north. France is not ayerse
TO rendering Judgment in the conro-
ye'sv. but neither is d'Abruzzi Tn,
scientific societies are anxious 70 sac
The Italian lend his assistance.
DAbruz2i knows m/e of condi-
tious in the far north than any other
man outside the contestants for The
'caar Of discovery. unless it De Ca
ani In whose company he made his
explorations.
n connection wi Il the rumor which
rres to d'Abruzzi the office OF arbt
ter. attention is called to the supposi
tion that that may have been the rea.
son for the Italians going to london
At he time it was said that he was
to be reunited to Miss Katherine Elk
ins, whose fiance he was formerly. II
Is also suggested that the report OF
his appointment may not be official
but may have grown out of 2 desire
on his part to visit Miss Elkins.
one fact that would lead 10 the
probability Of a French arbiter being
selected is that that nation would be
the only unpreiudced authority that
could be obtained, and whether The
Duke d'Abruzz could be unbiased in

DEATH OF Mr.. J. o. LAFoNTIsEE

Mr.. L. James Knight received a
telephone message Tuesday afternoon
from Gainesville bearing the unex-
pected and unwelcome tidings of the
death of Mr.. J. o. Lafontisee. The
message stated that he had been
found dead in his bed in a hotel in
Washington City that morning. The
particulars of his death could not be
.ascertained.
For some months past Mr.. LaFonti-
see held position under the govern
ment in the forestry department, and
had been living in Washington City.
His wife's sister is to be married to-
day at Lacrosse, and Mrs. LaFonti-
see came from Washington about
week ago to asSist her sister in ar
ranging for the marriage, so Mr.. La
Fontisee was alone, but was in per-
feet health when bis wife left him.
Mr.. LaFontisee was a man of mark
ed ability. He made a brilliant rec
ord during the Americana Cuban war,
was for some time connected with
the Times-Union and made an envia-
bic reputation as a newspaper repor-
ter. During our last primary election
he was General Gilchrist's manager.
and engineered his campaign with
cOnsummate ability.
Mr.. LaFontisee bad many friends
throughout the state of Florida who
will receive the tidings of his death
with profound and sincere sorrow.
Mr.. LaFontisee e a brother of Mrs.
L. J. Knight of this city. and her
friends greatly deplore the sudden
and severe grief that has come to her
