missioned by that eminent body TO con-
tinue the work Of Lieut.. Shackleton in
the Antarctic regions and to utilize a
combination of airship and balloon in
trying to reach the south pole. Web
ster is a famous globe-trotter, having
travelled twenty four times around the
world and made fourteen trips to At
RIGA. While in Washington a few days
ago on his way &c London, Capt. Web
ster said he expected the new expedi-
ton would start about one year hence.
Said he: 1T is my idea that with an
aeroplane with a balloon attachment
we can have a greater life then we
could with the planes alone and thus
could carry more supplies and equip
ment including sleighs. The propellers
of the plane will enable us to make
better Roadway against the winds. He

An exception was made in the case

Brookline, a Methodist clergyman.
When he came out he said the partici-
pants were evidently earnest in their
beliefs, but that much of their talk
was unintelligible. Women, with eyes
closed and bodies trembling from ex-
element, made strange, incoherent ut

have the gift of tongues" translated
into religious prophecies. DR.. Bron-

The charges against the inspector In
charge of the Desplaines street district
were the most sensational which have
been aimed against a police official in
years. States Attorney Wayman
charged that graft" aggregating
many thousands of dollars had been
collected from disorderly houses in re-
turn for protection" The chief wit
ness against Mccain was Louis
Frank, a Russian immigrant. who, al
though unable to read or write, has
accumulated fortune of several hun
bred thousands of dollars in the West
Side "tenderloin." Frank testified that
he collected the protection" money
from denizens of the tenderloin.
The rate for protection" was said
to be $40 a month. Several checks,
each dated a month apart, and calling
for that sum, were exhibited in court.
A list of women from whom It was
charged protection" money was regu-
larly collected was read in court and
was identified by Frank. McCann's
defense was that he had suppressed

so rigorous hand that a conspiracy,
headed by Louis Frank, was formed

MEMORABLE DAY IN
NEW yORK'S HISTORY
Hudson-Fulton Celebration Begins
with a Great Naval Pageant
Fifteen Miles Long.
wARsHIPs THE BIG ATTRACTION
Crowds Are so Great They Can Only
Be Standardization Witness
Fireworks at Night.

The boom OF sunrise guns aboard the
warships in the North River awoke
New York Saturday morning TO the
first day of the celebration, long plan
ned and long awaited, which honors
the work of Henry Hudson and Robert
Fulton. The river that Hudson found
and where Fulton set his steamboat
was the place toward which the eyes
of 10000 persons turned for the
most impressive pageant that ever
floated in the New York harbOr. A
thousand vessels, varying in type from
the one-man catboat to the mighty
cruiser Infiexible, were there; fifty
seven warships, representing the ma
vies of the United States, Great Brit
ain, Germany, France, Italy, Holland,
Mexico and Argentina, 100000 tons OF
steel, bearing $4,000 officers and men
and armed with 1897 guns.
Would Have Fooled Fulton.
Copies of the Half Moon and Cler-
mont, so faithful to the original mod
els in every detail, that Hudson and
Fulton themselves would have been
puzzled to find the differences; 12O
steamboats, and ferryboats, seventy
five steam yachts, seventy-five motor
boats, 900 tugs and steam lighters, 400
sailing craft and small launches. All
but the greatest and least of these
craft met in the upper bay for the pa
rade that escorted the Half Moon and
the Clermont up the Hudson. The war
ships remained at their anchorages.
The days first spectacle-not count
ing the grim line Of warships in the
North River-was the assembling of
the naval pageant in the upper bay.
Four American cruisers and five sub
marines were assigned to escort the
Half Moon and the Clermont. The
Clermont was lowed from its ancho-
age to join the Half Moon. Then. with
little craft which epitomize the cele-
bration cruised along the Brooklyn
shore in sight of the spectators. Mean
while the rest of the parade was as
sembling and when the Half Moon and
Clermont finished their round of the
upper bay and sailed into the mouth Of
the Hudson they fell into line.
1t was not until / o'clock that the
mass Strengthened out into something
|. like procession formation. The boats
moved up the Hudson in double line
at speed of eight miles an hour. but
such was the number of participants
that the column was nearly fifteen
miles long.
At night, with scarcely enough in
terval to allow the crowds to get din
ner, the participants in the gay parade
+; moved over the same route, while the
river was gorgeously decorated. BY
far the most enjoyable feature of the
celebration was the fireworks display
T, on the river and the illumination of
the vast feet of war vessels and the
city. Millions witnessed the scene.
