NEW YORK, Sept Il. - Commander
Peary's success was possible through a
combination Of favora BILE conditions, fine
equipment, and his own and party S
endurance and enterprise. Given the
most perfect equipment and unequaled
powers OF endurance, without the ice
conditions being just right. the expedi-
ton would have been doomed to failure.
Peary's account is very different from
the accounts of DR.. hansen and Captain
Cagni. and their stories of their record
breaking marches. In reading, you are
impressed in the latter cases with the
hopelessness of trying to proceed swiftly.

WANTS MEN FREED
Aged Minnesota Ex-Jucge Would
 Ease His Conscience.
After Thirty-Four Years He Seeks the Release of Two Negroes Whom He Prosecuted and Had
 Convicted.

St. Paul, Minn.-Bowed and bent and only a memory of his former bril- liant self, Judge James Egan has lift ed a weight which has lain upon his conscience for 34 years by appearing before the state board of pardons and pleading for the release of two ne- groes, serving life sentences for mur- der They were incarcerated when Judge Egan was only a young prose- cutting attorney. Between the day of their judgment and now lies a life time, and now the prosecutor con- fesses that they were unjustly imprjs- oned and asks their freedom. Behind an act which casts shadow on an exceptionally brilliant career lies a dramatic story.
 The two negroes, R. L. Underhill and George Washington, were ar rested and tried principally upon cir cumstantial evidence. A house upon Summit avenue had been robbed and the burglars, escaping in the darkness a policeman who attempted to inter- cept them. He died without being able to make coherent statement. Later, after two vagrant negroes had been jailed by the police. a woman living in the house where the robbery had occurred, identified them as the burglars She admitted that she had caught but a glimpse of the men at work, and that in the dark.
 AS Prosecuting Attorney Egan vigor. ously pressed the case against the two men, and with the city deeply> stirred by the crime convicted them and sent them up with life sentences.
 Years passed and the prosecuting attorney became judge, noted for his keen wit. his marked ability and a clear far-seeing judicial mind. After many years Judge Esan retired. and for nearly a decade had not been a figure in public life. Before the par don board bent and enfeebled old man, his mind clouded on many sub jects, but entirely clear on this. begged that the governor and the members of the pardon board free his soul from the weight of the knowledge that the two men were frightened into making false confessions and rr- justly committed to a life cf harsh confinement The board was aesouni- ed by the ccnfessicn and has taken the case under adyisement. to thor oughly investigate 1t,
