Mir Barrill told me that MT. Nichols told him that if he would come there and make a statement with reference to Dr. Coo reaching the summit of Mt. Mckinley he would give him a bond that would get his money.
 Then the next communication l had with Mir Barrill was the evening before he started for Seattle; he had told me a time or two of getting a telegram from a man by the name of Miller. I think MT. Miller Is a photographer in Seattle He said to me:
 That party Miller from Seattle is at Missoula and I am to meet him there to- night; this means from 5000 to $l0.000 to me- That was the last l saw of Bar Till until he came back from Seattle, which was on Thursday, october T. 1909; he came up from Missoula and he went on up home to Darby that night. Mir. Bar Till after coming from Seattle and be- fore going to New York left the impress sion with me that he was going as the friend of Dr. Cook.
 MT. Barrill stated that he was there at Mount Mckinley when Dr. Cook made the ascent of Mount Mckinley

 Political students who could not agree with MT. Cassidy, held to the contrary, with, McCarren removed from Brooklyn and Murphy's ally, William J. Connors. in control of the party machinery of the state as state chairman. 1t was now all Tammany Eventually. it is asserted the Brooklyn democratic organization will be- come part of Tammany. Until after cleo ton committee heaoed by Bernard York, a former police commissioner and Augustus VanVyclS, formerly a supreme court justice, will direct it's affairs When, in December, the executive committee of the organization holds it's regular meeting the new leader will be selected
 The man most generally mentioned for the place is John H. McCoey, the dem ocratic nominee for borough president of Brooklyn, straight organization man, popular with the McCarren following and long in the late leaders confidence
 The value of the estate left by Sen ator McCarren, according to his most intimate friends, is a matter of mys- tery. he was variously reported to be a rich man, poor man and a man in comfortable circumstances. It is known, however, that he owned considerable real estate and was interested in an amuse- ment park at Coney Island.

New York, October 23.-Patrick H. Mc- Carren, state senator and leader of Brook 1yn, who died early this morning after brave fight against a complication of diseases, will be buried from St. Vim cent De Paurs Roman Catholic church, in the heart of his political stronghold, at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning. The body is now at his home.
 To his friends he had expressed the wish that his funeral be simple as pos sible Simple the funeral may be, but not private by any possibility. Flags were at half mast today on the city hall of Greater New York and every pub lie building in Brooklyn.
 Testimonials of regard and expressions of regret by letter and wire have deuged the relatives today. Charles Murphy, leader of Tanmany Hall, and McCar- ren's bitterest political enemy, said of him today:
 q have always admired Senator Me Carren's ability as leader and the cour- age with which he fought for what he be- lieved to be right. All our difficulties were political, not personal
 Speculation as to McCarren's probable successor to the democratic leadership of Brooklyn found two expressions to- day The less generally accepted, though plausible one, was best worded by Jo- seph Cassidy, formerly borough president of Queens county. This ends Tammany's
