FIRED TWO SHOTS
 AT TROLLEY CONDUCTOR
And Then Turned Revolver on oeeu-
 pants of the Car.

Hartford, Conn, Sept 2s.-Tempora- rily insane. Hjalmar Johnson, 24 years old, fired two~shots from a revolver at the conductor of trolley car standing in front of the city hall tonight and then turned the revolver toward the twenty five occupants inside the car and fired two more shots, none of the shots fortunately taking effect.
 Johnson, who gave his home as 13 Clifton street, came here short time ago from Middletown. Tonight while standing. on the rear platform of a trolley car he was asked to step inside by the conductor. Instead of comply ing he pulled a revolver and pointing it at the conductor fired at him twice as he was trying to get off the car. His aim was poor and he missed his in- tended victim and also a number of passengers waiting for outgoing cars. Failing to get the conductor, he turned the gun inside the car in direct line with Oliver D. Cornell of IS Garden street, who jumped behind seat just in time to avoid being hit, the bullet striking the woodwork near his head. The other twenty passengers made their way out of the front door and through-the windows, escaping the sec ond bullet, which also landed in the woodwork. Before he could fire fifth shot Policeman J. J. Hennessey jumped on the car and threw. Johnson to the floor, holding him there until other off cers disarmed him and placed him un- der arrest.
 Johnson is being held under two charges of assault with intent to kill pending an examination as to his san- ifU

EXPLORER COOK APPROVES
 OF ALL WHITNEY SAID.
Everything in the Interview is Sub
 stantially Correct"

New York. Sept ,eS.-Dr. Cook, when shown MT. Whitney's statement made at St. Johns today, said tonight that he entirely approved of all that MT Whitney had said.
 Everything in the interview is sub stantially correct" said Dr. Cook. "It confirms all my declarations"
 With reference to the. written in- structions given to Murphy. the boatswain, by Commander -Peary, Dr. Cook said:
 The written instructions handed to the illiterate Boatswain Murphy were worded very ambiguously, as MT. Whit ney affirms, but I will not comment on them now. Let MT. Peary publish them"
 Concerning the papers left with. MT. Whitney, Dr. Cook saids MT. Whitney was in all probability unaware of the written records being left with him. They are not of much consequence. as l have duplicates. As to the instru- ments. his statements are correct. There was a sextant and an artificial horizon. and the third case contained two compasses, I have the watch chronometer here.
 The whole story as to my not go- ing far north is based on the reply I gave to Murphy when he asked me one day. Have you been farther than ST north?' I answered: Yes, much farther north But gave no other information to Murphy and Mir Whit ney stuck to the original idea and would not let Murphy know
 "The Eskimos did the same. They had promised me not to disclose what had done"

PEARYs MATERIAL READY
 FOR THE PEARY ARCTIC CLUB
When Passed Upon by That Body It
 Will Be Made Public.

Bar Harbor. Me-. Sept. 2s.-The ma terial which Commander Robert F.. Peary will produce to support his con- tention that Dr. Frederick A. Cook did not reach the North pole, is now in completed form. As soon as it has been passed upon by the Peary Arctic club, it will be made nublic General Hubbard, president of the club and Commander Peary concluded their conference on the subject today and the explorer probably will return ot his home in Eagle island tomorrow. Only Opening Guns in the Campaign.
 The papers which are today to play such an important part in the Cook-Peary controversy are to be on- ly the opening guns in. the campaign which Commander Peary will wage on Dr Cook. It is intimated that Com fnander Peary has yet other informa ton eto prove his contention but he thinks it will be unnecessary to make 1t public at this time. Although there has been no definite statement as to the exact date when the proofs will be made known, it Is announced that Gen. Hubbard is planning to call a meet ing of the Peary Arctic club in New York next week.
 What the Statement Win Contain.
 Commander. Peary's forthcoming contribution to the controversy is rather volumlnous. but has been pre- pared with the idea that it should be readily understood by the lay mind. General Hubbard said tonight: "The statement has been prepared and will be submitted to the club. I do not feel competent to say whether the club will approve of it exactly in its pres ent form. There will be no consider able changes, however Some express sions may be altered in phraseology. but that is all Of course. no one can take from or add to the facts.
 The statement will simply contain facts in their proper order and will contain no arguments except as the bare statement of the facts itself con- stitutes an argument"
 A Matter for the Public to Judqe.
 General Hubbard said that he would not pass any individual opinion on the question, but that the club would do that in a body. Then, gfancing at Commander Peary, who smiled in an- swer, General Hubbard added q do not care to go on record as saying that the statement will prove that pr. Cook did not reach the pole. That is a matter for the public to judge. I can say that Peary's statement of facts are true.r
 Whether Commander Peary will be able to attend the naval parade in the Hudson Fulton celebration next Fri day has not been decided.

LIFE SAVING MEDAL
 TO JAMES M. DICKINSON. Almost Forgotten Incident in Which Present Secretary of War Figured.

Washington. Sept. 2S.-An almost forgotten incident in which the pres ent secretary of war. James NJ. Dick inson. heroically rescued James Y. Joy. Detroit lawyer, from the Detroit river fourteen years ago. was recalled today when a handsome gold medal was presented to MT. Dickinson on behalf of the United States govern- ment.
 The medal was approved by Presi- dent Taft and the presentation made by Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Hilles. The medal bore the in- scription: '1n testimony of heroic deeds in saving lives"
 On August 29, 1895. the American Bar association, then in session at Detroit. was entertained at St. Clair flats. The guests were conveyed there in steam yachts. Judge Dickinson, Charles II. Campbell. Frank O. Lowell and others we're entertained on the steab yacht Truant, owned by Tru- man Fl. Newberry. who subsequently, became secretary of the navy.
 The Truant returned to Detroit at 6 o'clock that night. The yacht lay sev- eral feet out from the dock and small landing plank was put out. In attempting to cross it. James F. Joy, the oldest member of the Detroit bar. fell overheard into deep water Judge Dickinson plunged into the water and rescued Joy.

THREE MEN BURIED
 UNDER FIFTY FEET OF EARTH
cave-in in Tunnel Being Dug for New
 Haven Water Company.

New Haven, Sept. 2S.-Foilowing a cave-in in two tunnels between the Wepawaug river and Maltby5 lake to- day two men barely escaped. death and three are buried fifty feet under ground, swith-no chances of their be- ing taken out alive.
 The scene of the accident is about four miles from the city. where the New Haven Water company is having tunnel dug from the Wepawaug riv- CT to Maltby lake to secure an addi- tional water supply. The tunnel is being dug in four sections by the Gore Meehan company of 40 Broadway. New York, and it was in tunnels Nos. 2 and 3 that the cave-in occurred. The tunnel when completed is to be three miles long and five experienced men were at work in the two sections.
 The men have noticed for-Several days water trickling through the roof of the No. section, coming presum- ably from a brook which flows on the surface 20 feet above the section. The holes where the water came through have. been plugged and it was thought that the leaks had been stopped. but today George Stevens and Abner Ty- Ter, two cOlored tunnel drivers, work ing in No. section, heard the water rush in and made at once for the shaft at the. mouth of the tunnel. They were caught by the onrushing water before reaching the mouth, but, with the water up to their shoulders, were married to the. mouth, where they were pulled up the shaft by fellow workmen working above ground. The three men in No. 3 section, whose names the company refuse to give out, were caught by the inrushing water which broke through from the No. 2 section and probably carried to that end of that section, distance of 400 feet. Day Supt.. Frank Lee stated that the section where the men are impris- oned is filled with sand and rock, and that it will be at least a week before the imprisoned men could be reached. The three hundred men employed on the work above ground are working to reac atheir comrades under ground and will continue in day and night shifts until they are reached.
 The men say that lack of proper supports in the tunnel allowed the cave-in when the water broke through.
 The loss will amount to $5,000. with an added loss of $400 a day until the men have been reached.
