Leavenworth Packer Refused to Per-
NIT Government Inspection.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. 30.-The
contract held by the B. & H. Pack
ing company of this city to supply
Fort Leavenworth with meat has
been annulled by the secretary of war
because the packing company would
of it's slaughter house.
The post butcher shop will be
closed to retail trade until october 5,
when the contract for furnishing
meat to the post will be let to an
other company.
The war department requires that
meat used at military posts be ap-
proved by a government inspector.
The reason for the refusal of the b.
& H. Packing company to submit to
an inspection, Henry Blochberger,
the proprietor, says, is that it would
be necessary for the company to erect
new buildings for which they have no
room.

Cook or Commander Peary, if placed
in my position, would have done any
differently than 1 did nor would they,
having started south for civilization,
have turned back.
'I had never seen DR.. Cook until I
met him in the Arctic. He told me he
had been to the North Pole and 1 was
pledged not to reveal this fact to
Peary, but I could say that he had
gone farther north than Peary in
1906.
Commander Peary, to my knowl-
edge, knew absolutely nothing about
what had been left with me by DR..
Cook, except that mentioned instru-
ments, clothes and furs and also a
norwhal horn. DR.. Cooks belongings
left in my charge were placed in boxes
which were nailed up. Then the Eski-
mos covered them with rocks. No one
could have been kinder to me or shown
more consideration than Peary did
while was on the Roosevelt.
HARRY WHITNEY"
Will Send for Cooks Things.
st. Johns, Sept. 3O.-Members of the
crew of the schooner Jeanne, on which
Harry Whitney arrived here from In
dian Harbor, said that when Mr..
Whitney learned in Labrador of the
Polar controversy and the important
bearing DR.. Cooks instruments have
on this. he engaged Captain Sam Bart
lett and his vessel to go up next year
and recover DIR. Cooks belongings at
Etah. Captain Bartlett himself de-
clired to speak on this subject but his
manner gave the impression that the
statement is correct.
According to the Jeanie's crew.
while Commander Peary scoffed at the
idea that the sledge which DR.. Cook
gave as a souvenir to Mr.. Whitney,
ever covered a long distance. Mr..
Whitney contended that the siedge
showed actual proof of what it had
endured and that the rear sections
had been cut off to make arrows for
killing game as DR.. Cook described.
When the Jeanne met the Canadian
ship Arctic, in command of Captain
Bernier. at Clyde river, Baffin land. on
September 6, Captain Bernier told
Bartlett of the Jeanne he had received
letter from Cook by Dundee
whaler thanking him for landing
stores for DIR. Cook at Etah, the pre-
vious year, and stating that he (Cook)
had found the pole.
Surgeons Indorse Cook.
Chicago, Sept. 30.-Dr. Frederick A.

adopted resolution introduced by DR..

arrested on October / of last year,
charged with committing a number of
burglaries in stores about the city.
Their finger prints were obtained from
a glass gum machine and their identity
established without question, but the
young men made their use at the trial
unnecessary by a confession of their
guilt.
The Bertillon measurements, upon
which the majority of identification bu-
a principally depend, have been re-
duced almost to an exact science.
There are three bureaus throughout the
country upon which the local bureau
principally draws, at Albany, Chicago
and Washington, and by a constant in
terchange with these three great sys-
TENS the Newark bureau has established
for itself a place that is easily in the
a of the cities of the country.
Another proof of the value of the bu-
reau was furnished by its use in the
case of George Hartman, who was ar
rested here March 80, of this year, by
Policemen Schroeder and Durkin.
Hartman was accused Of breaking a
window in q Market street store and of
stealing a number of revolvers. When
questioned by the policemen he denied
he had ever been arrsted before, but
his records were asked for from the three
systems already mentioned. In the
meantime, Hartman had been placed on
trial and sentenced to serve eighteen
months for his crime. but when his rec
ord was received at the bureau, show
ing convictions in several other States
for similar crimes, he was brought back
before Judge Ten Eyck and his sen
tence was changed from eighteen
months to five years.
The Newark bureau is looked upon as
a model of its kind, and visitors from
all sections of the country, especially
those. interested in police work seldom
visit Newark without inspecting the
workings of the bureau.

YRS. BESANT
Nine. Blavatsky's Successor
Speaks in Newark on 1.-THE
Power of Thought"

Arrayed in a flowing robe of white
silk, Mrs. Annie Besant, and successor
to Nine. Blavatsky, as head of the
Theosophical Society, appeared before
an audience of about 500 people in the
New Auditorium last night, and for
more than an hour talked on THE
Power of Thought"
After dwelling upon the power of
thought in the field of theology, Mrs.
Besant said hat people are what their
thoughts are, and that each individual,
Improperly trained, could make or mar
his life through the power of thought.
A noble life and character, she said,
were the result of noble thoughts and
an ignoble life, the product of ignoble
thoughts.
Thought" she continued, sis of the
very essence OF our nature, and we can
use it for the making of ourselves.
You are the thinker. You are more than
h thinker. You are the spirit and
thought itself is the spiritual power
which uses the mind as the machinery
of thought
One of h most interesting of the
points made by the lecturer and which
appeared to appeal to her hearers most
forcibly. was that in which she likened
the world of thought to a great reser-
voir, into which the people poured their
thoughts and from which they drew
every thought, she said, created a form
and this form was an influence in the
world. either for good or evil. One evil
"thought-form,' striking a receptive
"thought-form" of another weaker man
or woman, may cause the weaker to
commit a crime. eve a murder, she
said. h drew a vivid picture of the
susceptibility of children to Thought
forms"
In conclusion she declared that the
human brain has the power to trans
fer messages, as has wireless t~elegra-
ply.

CLEVELAND TURNS DOWN
TOM JOHNSON'S PET PLAN.
Referendum Vote Puts Probable
Quietus on Bitter Fight.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 4.-The Schmidt
ordinance providing for the grant of a
franchise to Herman Schmidt, ~insuring
three-cent fares on a part of the city
street car lines, was defeated at q
referendum election here yesterday by
a majority of 1882. The total vote was
&c, 1914 to "a, 926. The Schmidt ordinance
was advocated by Mayor Tom L. John
son.
The campaign, which was waged for
two months, has been particularly bit
ter. Mayor Johnson, municipal office
holders n others held hundreds of
tent meetings and urged the granting
of the franchise. A committee of one
hundred business men opposed it.
Now that the Schmidt franchise has
been debated, an attempt will be made
to secure the passage of an ordinance
for settlement of the car fight along
the line proposed by Federal Judge
Taylor.
His plan provides first for a revalua-
ton of the entire street car property
by a committee of unbiased citizens.
He would then put into force a three
cent fare, charging one cent for a
transfer. In case this plan failed to
pay, a 6 per cent. divided on the valua-
ton set by the committee, the price
of the fare may be raised to seven
tickets for a quarter.
Prior to the passage of the Schmidt
ordinance by the City Council an at
tempt was made to pass the Taylor
ordinance, but 1t failed.

day to three men who saved them
from drowning in the Delaware river,
off Brammirs Point. below Lincoln

The two Hahn boys were spending
the summer with Ritter. They left
Biringsport wharf during a high wind,
and when they had gone abou a mile

minute all three were overheard. They
tried to cling TO the boat, but the cur
rent was too strong and they were car
ried up the river. Oliver w. Sheets

Banks saw the boys floating and went
