DIR. Cooks Plans.
on the question OF his plans Dr. Cook
said:
II intend to stay in New York for the
present. While there l shall complete my
work. l have not made any arrangement
for lectures and l have not yet decided
whether shall deliver any address before
my work is done. 1 should not, however,
like TO commit myself on that point. al
though my present Intention is not TO do so.
"As to further explorations, much will
depend on Mrs. Cook. I shall, however,
probably not go again to the north pole,
although ! may proceed on a northern ex-
petition for the exploration Of the new land
We saw on our journey. That is a task
which must be carried out. Whether 1
shall undertake It or not will be a question
for consideration. II has been suggested
that I go TO the South pole. but I am quite
content TO leave that to shaokleton and
Scott"
DR.. Cook requested the Associated Press
TO correct several errors which inadver-
tently crspt into the first report OF his
discovery.

1T seems, therefore, that the present
congress has taken the wisest course In
adopting as much Of the feature OF the
income tax as conforms to the constitution
and by recommending an amendment 10

round and perfect this corporation tax so
as 70 make II more perfect and make u
an instrument Of supervision OF corporate

II doubt not that the information thus
obtained may be made a basis OF further

JERSEYITES AWAIT
YOUTH SAVED FROM
DEATH IN BRAZIL
Big Welcome Planned in Hack
ensack for George Vice, Freed
from Death Sentence.

HACKENSACK, Dec. 6.-Residents
here are getting ready to give a warm
welcome to George Vice, one of three
young men who were condemned to
death by the Brazilian government, and
who, according to a message received
by Secretary of State Knox, have been
released. Vice, who is a son of Mrs.
Leonore Vice; Samuel Parker, of New
York, and a young man named Pfarn-
becker have been included in the re-
lease. Vice and Parker. who held posi-
tions in the Public Service office, left
New York on November, 1907, with an
expedition in charge of Sebastian
Magali. who had a dream of capturing
Brazil, but who engaged many menu
bers of his expedition on the under
standing that he was to undertake
mining operations that promised Won
derful success.
When members of the party were
captured n sentenced to death Mrs.
Alice De Wolf, connected with the Office
of Prosecutor Wright here, was of
the persons who reused the Washing
ton authorities to action and the news
OF the lease came to Mrs. De Wolf In
a letter from o6CI5LdIy hIoA.
Just think, George may be back for
Christmas said Mrs. Vice today.
Poor boy. how he must have suffered
and how I have suffered! That man
Magali deceived George and the other
young men who went with him. He
told them dazzling stories of the for
tunes to be made in mines he could
locate.
George gave up a good position to
go on the expedition. He understood
thai a large number of men were being
taken to act as guards when the mines
were located.
MY son was wounded when the
Brazilian soldiers captured the mem
bers of the expedition. I visited hin in
the hospital at Bahia in February last
year and he told me that he threw up
his hands when told to do SO and that
the soldiers shot him when his hands
were in the air. He was shot in the
neck, n hand and both legs. One SOL
der cut him On the thigh with a sabre"

OIL WELL NEAR BLAIR Is IN
IMPREGNATED BLACK SAND

Mrs. Annie Miller, who is interested
i'll the operations at Oil City, near
Blair, yesterday received a letter from
Il. A. Pitts, the expert driller who is
sinking the well for the Nevada Bay
State Oil company on the salt marsh,
which states that at 915 feet the drill
encountered a stratum of black sand,
which was heavily i~mpregnated with
thick oil, much after the nature of
asphaltum, and that this black sand has
Just been cut through. Below the sand
the drill encountered a formation SO
hard and finty that it was deemed in
advisable to continue with the light
casing which has been used in the well
heretofore, and heavier casing will ar
rive from Los Angeles tomorrow.
Mr.. Pitt, who has opened several
big gushers in various sections of
the United States, says that this heav-
lily i~mpregnated black sand is a usual
formation above the Gaping of the oil
deposits, and this leads the gentlemen
to believe that within a few days the
word will go out that oil has been
struck. Mr.. Pitt says that the well
will be 1000 feet in depth by Saturday
night, and that any stroke OF the drill
after that may be the one which is
destined to start an ell craze on the
desert.
