CHICAGO. Sept. 21.-Another African
hunter was welcomed back 10 Chicago
last evening and in an enthusiastic, II
not as elaborate manner as his illus
trious predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt.
Dr. tombstone Meyers. pastor OF the EN-
manuel Baptist church who spent six
months in Africa hunting facts about
the missionaries there. was the object
OF the reception. An incident Of the re-
ception was a brief address by DR..
Myers, in which he told OF baptising a
number OF man-eating natives.
Just before left the Congo country.
I took part in a picturesque ceremony
that / never shall forget" said DR..
Meyers. 1T was the baptism of a half
a hundred black men, who but few
years ago were savage, man-eating
brutes. The spirit of Christianity has
been carried to them by DR.. Clarke, In
charge Of the mission at Ikoko on the
Congo.and marvels had been wrought.

ALASKA EXPLORERS
DEVOURED SHOE STRINGS
Any and Everything Is Greed
lily Eaten in the Frozen
North

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-Even shoe
strings look good to hungry men In the
arctic, especially II their food caches
have been raided and ruined by bears
and wolverines. Advices received by
Herman c. Bumpus, director of the Mu-
scum of National History, from DR..
Adolph Anderson and Vihljahlmr Stef-
fansson, who left New York for the
frozen north in May 1908, show that the
two scientists have suffered prlvations
which made meals of leather and oil
seem luxurious.
The Anderson-S teffansson party, which
is making extended chronological and 20
illogical collections on the shores of arc
tic America for the museum, has trav-
eled 400 miles east of the Mackenzie
river, through regions hitherto untrav-
ersed by explorers.
DEVOURED SHOE-STRINGS.
In the advices just received the ex-
plorers tell of trying journey up the
Horton river. Six persons were in the
party and they carried provisions for
two days. The trip took Is days and
the hunting was bad. The party ate
whale tongue, which owing TO it's fibrous
nature and to the presence of sea salt
was very sickenlng. When the tongue
was gone they ate sealskins, deerskins.
sole leather and the tough skin laces
used on their snow shoes. Then there
was seal oil, about a teaspoonful a day
for each man consumed to keep away
the ravages of hunger. 1t was taken

Finally somebody found a partly eaten
carcass of a caribou which supplied
them meat for three or four smeals

The party reports that the scientific
results of their work have thus far been
satisfactory.

AVIATORS ATTEMPT
TO CROSS THE ALPS
In Order to Make the Trip
They Must Maintain Height
of 1000 Feet
nv Associated Pre.s.l


BRIG, Switzerland, Sept. 19.-Thougn
the weather was unpropitious for the
bold undertaking, MIR. Weymann, the
American, and George Chavez. the Pc
ruvian, attempted the cross-Alps aero
plane flight today. Both failed, but not
until they had given pretty exhibitions
of high flying that promised better sue
cess in fair weather
During the night a stiff breeze was
blowing In the Simplom pass and the
mountain peaks were hidden in a dense
fog. There seemed little prospect that
the competition would begin today. How
ever, after daylight the wind had gone
down and although it was still cloudy,
the intrepid Chaveze and Weymann de-
cided to risk a flight.
They got away with encouraging cries
from an enormous crowd that was dis
appointed yesterday and had feared bad
weather would compel another postpone
ment today Chavez left the starting
ground. little quadrilateral plateau
overlooking the Rhone valley. first, and
Immediately began to rise In sweeping
spirals until he had reached an altitude
above the towering mountain wall OPP
posite. Then he disappeared over the
granite shoulder that marks the entrance
to the Saline gorge. A moment later
the watchers at that point saw the mon
oplane wheel and gradually descend until
1t alighted on a little grassy slope at the
foot of the sheer cliff.
BENDS WHEEL OF MACHINE
Weymarln, who started a few moments
after Chavez, remained in the air only
eight minutes. He assembled to an alti-
tude of about 100 feet, where he en-
countered battling wind. In landing at
the bottom of the Rhone valley he bent
wheel of his biplane.
Chavez explained that he reached an
altitude of about $500 feet when he was
caught in violent wind. He observed
that the summit of the Simplon pass
was obscured by heavy clouds and de-
cided to return rather than chance land
ing farther on among the rocks. He an
nounced that he might try later on In the
day.
The other aviators who propose to
try for the cross-Alps prize are Cattaneo
and Palette. The American uses BIZ
plane and the others monoplanes. me
terms of the competition provide that
the flight may be made at any time be-
tween today and September 26. The
start must be near this point at the
head of the Rhone valley and the avi-
ators must fly over the Simlon pass TO
Milan, Italy. To clear Simplon pass IL
will be necessary for the aviators to
maintain an altitude Of some 1000 feet
during the first half hour of the flight
The total distance to be covered is 70
miles down, and smoking fires and 9TH
er signals will point the way.
Later an official examination OF his
barometer showed that Chavez attained
a height of 1916 feet. This is within
S46 feet of the Peruvian's worlds alti-
tude record, which has been officially
placed at S,4OS feet.

Deer. Without him, stagnation sets in. The
merit of Broward is, that he does things.
And to such men, the encouragement and
reward should not be refused
Those who are seeking to keep Taliaferro
in ofice-Lumber Trust and Standard Oil
toots-are assailing Broward for accepting
$24,5OO in the stock of land company. The
land did not belong to the State, but to q pri-
cate corporation: the commission was paid by
this private corporation: hence there was alb
solutely nothing wrong IN the transaction.
Ex-Congressman Lamar has contracted an
acute case of belly-ache about this stock. He
says (Lamar does) that Broward's horrid ex-
ample is going to ruin the young men Of the
country. He argues (Lamar does) that John
c.. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis and L. @. G.
Lamar would never have done anything of
that sort. He calls upon the young men
Uamar does) to rise right up and "unite to
keep our politics clean.
The Mortified Lamar doesn't have a word
to say against Taliaferro's vote for the Lum-
Der Trust mary" word. And get that iaa-
famous pote viozated the most r>ositive pledge
IN the Democratic platform, and tapes every-
body a0ho has to 6uy TIMBER.
Who was hurt wien Broward accepted a
commission, in stock, for a good sale of
huge tract of the Everglade lands? Not
soul. That land had been the home of ALI
gatcf9 snakes, waterfowl, bears, deer and a
few wretched Seminoles and negroes-for
ages. Death and desolation had brooded
there for thousands of years.
Broward comes along-a stalwart, deter
mined, resourceful man-and he uses the
power which the people gave him, to do a no.
bic a0ork for the people. He doggedly pegs
away at his drainage scheme, regardless of
apathy, jeers, predictions of failure, and the
concentrated antagonism of railway corpora
tions.
Then, when his triumph is apparent, and
the lands, by the million of acres, 60 upon
the market he takes a modest commission on
a sale which his efforts brought about. Who
says that there was anything crooked about
it?
Lamar doesn't.
Who claims that Florida, or any of her cit
liens, were injured by it?
Lamar doesn't.

His plans, his conceptions, his methods are

a man of the people, democrat through and

Against the combined corporations of
Jacksonville, and against the opposition of
many doubling Thomases, Governor Brow

Everglades. Re won a magnificent victory,
in spite of almost universal Indifference upon

of the railroads.
What Southern man has done greater

by any Governor, Senator or Representative,
compare with Browards? In effect, he called
a meao State into existence, for it is only
question of time when the Everglades will
produce a greater annual output Of wealth
than all the balance of the peninsula. The
time will surely come when the once aban-
doned saw grass wilds of Florida will be the
Garden Spot of the South.
That this result might have been achieved
