Rapid Transit company to charge
more than one fare to Coney Island.
This decision was rendered In the case
Of DR.. NJ Farlane, who had refused
to pay the two fares regularly col
lected by the railroad company. Many
thousands Of New York residents re-
member the riots which followed the
issuance of this decision The Sunday
crowds bound for Coney Island de-
clined to pay the two fares. and the
entire police force was required to pre-
vent incipient rebellion. Hundreds Of
persons were injured. A few days
later Judge Gaynor advised all travel
ers to pay the two fares until the
higher courts. could pass upon the de-
cision. This stopped confusion. The
upper courts held that 1t was legal for
the company to charge double fare.
Judge Gaynor first attracted public
attention when lie took part In the in
vestigation of the election frauds at
Gravesend in 1893. AS result Of this
investigation several men were sent ia
prison, and one Of the most corrupt
election gangs" New York city ever
knew was broken up. This made Judge
Gaynor conspicuous figure, and q
short time later he was nominated by
the Republicans and independent Dem
ocrats for place on the supreme court
bench. He was elected for fourteen
years in 1893 and was reelected II
1907 and assigned for service in thu
appellate division.
He was born in Whitestown, New
York state. fifty-eight years ago and
went to Brooklyn in 1873 to do news
| paper work. He had received an edu
cation in the Whitestown seminary ant
= school In Boston. While doing news

New Tribe Of Eskimos.
Although W. j. Bower, who recently
returned to San Francisco from two
| years trip to the frozen north In the
whaler Jeanette, lays no claim to the
discovery of the north pole, he does
claim to have discovered new tribe
Of Eskimos on point at Prince Albert
Land where. he says, no white man
had ever before reached. These Es-
KINDS. who call themselves Nunacotics,
said they had never before seen 9
white man. Bower says they were
very tall and looked much like the
| North American Indian. They all
wore rich furs They had never seen
gun and were startled when one was
fired off for their edif1cation. Men
and women Of the tribe carried bows
and arrows and peculiar knives Of
their own manufacture The womer
were all heavily tattooed.

THE United States has no report
whatever to impart on the subject
most vitality concerning his majesty's
closest ally beyond the fact that the
feet which came to invade the Pa
cific coast has been duly met, properly
vanquished and rendered incapable of
further harm. The United States re-
gretS that such action became neceS-
sary, and, with all due respect to Great
Britain and such other powers as may
be interested, wishes to express a dis
inclination to reply to any further
communications of this or a similar
nature"
A slap in the face could have caused
no greater CONSERVATION. The very
terms of the reply showed insolence
toward all the world, and demanded
explanation. But who dared attempt
it? What country was brave enough
to take the risk of meeting those ter
rible submarines. which were capable
in a night of destroying the most COM
plete flotilla that ever had been mobil-
lied and sent away? If they only
knew what form these monsters took,
what dire warning they gave as they
advanced to the attack, there might
be some means of offsetting them or
perhaps repelling them. That infor-
nation, at any cost, must be gained.

ture and at the same time lessen the
resistance, or skin friction, through

Were you at the time discussing
submarines"
Yes, We we're. The subject arose
through his describing certain ex-
periments in which he and his daugh-
ter were then engaged. His contention
was that a submarine could never be
made totally effective unless 1t gained
a speed so far beyond anything known
that It could traverse great distances
and maneuver with such rapidity that
it would be practically immune from
attack
This then must be the solution! and
he read in the faces of his interroga-
tors that they so accepted it. There
was a chorus of questions which he
could not answer. He admitted his lack
of technical enlightenment, and also
that he had no knowledge of what
success had resulted from the expert
ments. Nothing of a valuable nature
had been given to him at the time of
that or any other conversation. But
he had made it certain in the minds
of his superiors that, though they
might not know the secret of the sub
marines which had destroyed the
Japanese feet, they at least were
aware what form of attack might be
expected in case of war. In the nature
of things it could afford no solace; but
it might assist in obviating danger.
He listened to the discussion, and
felt that he should be given leave to
go, now that he had told all he knew;
but he was again brought to the fore
by a question.
I'VE understand you are personally
on very pleasant and friendly terms

States?'

information he could give as to the sit

could be expected of him when the
ministry itself was unable to accom-
plish anything.
He was ushered into the room
where on several previous occasions
he had answered questions. and found
there the same men who had met him
on the day of his arrival in London;
but there was a different attitude this
time. however, and the officials before
him seemed anxious and ill at ease.
Plainly they were ready for any sug-
gestion he might offer. or any measure
that might seem possible.

At first, on impulse. he almost an

recollected that in one of these talks
