Coroner Jennings, OF Macedon, was

ficate without an Inquest.

Following the announcement OF the
suicide theory, George Sampson. father
OF the dead man. asked District-Attor-
ney Gilbert Of Newark, y. Y, to in
vestigate his sons death, refusing to
believe that he had taken his own life.
A preliminary investigation failed to
develop anything strong enough to in
dicate that young Sampson had been
victim Of foul play, but SO insis.ent
was the father that the inquest be con-
tinued, that the investigation was al
lowed to proceed. on account OF these

HARTMAN STARTED
HISTORY OF JAPAN
DEATH OF WIZARD is KEEN
BLOW TO MAN WHOM HE IN
DUCED TO WRITE BOOK.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
TOXIC, Sept. 13.-The death of
e. II. Hartman is the source of
keen disappointment to Count
Chige-Nobu Okuma, who, at Har-
riman's personal request, has been
preparing a history of the devel-
opment of the Japanese people to
be published in English. When
Hartman visited Japan he met
Count Okuma, and was greatly
impressed with his leadership of
the progressive party. /,
He announced his belief that
the counts storehouse of knowl-
edge about the Japanese should
be given to the world. He asked
Okuma to undertake the work,
which is to cover the history of
the last four centuries.
Though the death of Hartman
removes the originator Of the
idea, and probably will present
obstacles that would have been
overcome by the financial aid
and Influence of the railroad king,
Count Okuma said today that he
will continue the work. He ex-
pects to complete the history in
1911.

Commander Peary's ship, the
Roosevelt, which carried him into
the Arctic sea, is the most COM
plete Arctic craft ever made.
The Roosevelt is a combination
steam and sailing vessel. One
startling feature of the Roosevelt
is it's wooden hull. Practically no
metal is found in it. The hull is
not only sheathed with 16-inch
oak timbers, but is braced inside
with great beams running cross
wisely and longitudinally inside.
So heavy is the hull construc-
tion that it is possible for the
ship to be squeezed entirely out
of the water-or ice-without
crushing the timbers or causing
leak.
The engines are built for
strength and endurance and the
ship carries duplicate rudders,
propellers and shafts. The Roose-
welt has three masts and a conf
plete equipment of sailing gear to
use in case fuel is exhausted or
the machinery is crippled. All
the space not needed for machin-
cry and reinforced construction is
used for storing food supplies,
scientific instruments and fuel.
The Roosevelt was built in
1905, and was used by Peary in
mis- "farthest north" expedition of
the following year-the one which
set the highest mark up till the
present time. The Arctic club of
New York, the Peary club and
other organizations helped Peary
secure most of the funds used to
build it. IL was named for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who took great in
terest in the expedition.
Commander Peary had sailed
into the Arctic regions at differ
ent times with Capt. Sam Bartlett,
Capt. Harry Bartlett and Capt.
John Bartlett, all brothers. 1t
seemed that he had to have a
Capt. Bartlett in charge of his
ship for good luck, so when he
prepared for his Arctic dash into
