Explorers Attorneys Hold that Ber-
lin Court Has No Jurisdiction.
CHARGES MADE BY FRANKIE
Cooks Companion Alleges His Mar
whaI Horns We're Presented to
Roosevelt and Fox skins

BERLIN, June 2S.-The charges concern
ing the disposition of Arctic trophies left
by him at Etah which Dr. Frederick a.
Cook made against Commander Robert E.
Peary during the highest of the contro-
versy over their claims of discovery of
the North pole were aired in a German
court today, when the suit instituted
against Peary by Rudolph Francke was
opened.
Francke who was associated with Cook
in polar exploration, demands $4,000 in sat
sfaction of prizes Of the hunt, which he
alleges Peary required him to surrender
in consideration Of bringing him back to
America.
The defense sets up a general denial and
further questions the jurisdiction of the
court on the grounds that the defendant
is an American citizen having no domicile
in this city. After hearing the opening
arguments the court adjourned to con-
slider the point of jurisdiction.
Commander Peary was served with pa
pers in the suit when he came here re
Gently to fill a lecture engagement. At
the time he said he would be unable to
remain here for the local hearing and that
he had placed the case in the hands of the
American ambassador Mr.. Hill
Peary's interests were looked after to-
day by Attorney Jablonski, a partner of
Victor Schneider, counsel to the American
embassy, while Herr Thiel represented
! Francke. The latter was present, but was
not called to the witness stand.
The proceedings were before three Judges

Hearing Set for July IS After
Appearance in COurt-Curious
Crowd Gathers to See

NEW YORK, June 2S-Porter Charlton's S
case now awaits on the result of exchanges
between the state department at Washing
ton and the Italian government. His coun-
rel today in asking that his formal arraiEn-
ment be postponed promises that no effort
would DO maue under habeas corpus, IN
sanity or other proceedings to take the
prisoner out of the hands of the New Jer-
sew authorities pending the adjourned ar
raignment which after some argument was
set for July 8.
Meanwhile it is expected that the inter
national aspects Of the case will have ad-
iusted themselves and decision be reached
as to whether Charlton shall be delivered
to the Italian authorities on eXtradition
proceedings.
Charlton in Court.
Charlton, pale and thinner than when
last seen out Of doors, was brought from
the tail to the court house under escort OF
the warden and sheriff, between whom he
walked unmanacled and shielding his face
from the gaze OF the curious crowd by
means of partly opened newspaper. He
sat with eyes fixed upon the floor while
attorneys conferred with Judge Blair.
With the arrival of Gustave Dl Rosa,
the Italian consular representative in New
York. the proceedings were opened by a
motion on the part of the defense for an
adjournment. Prosecutor Garvin said lie
had no objection to offer provided it be
agreed that Charlton be kept meanwhile in
the Hudson county Jail and that no pro-
ceedings were instituted to take him out
of the custody of the New Jersey authori-
ties.
This promise Charlton's counsel readily
made. and Judge Blair set the hearing for
July 8.

Copies Of Italian evidence Of the crime
are in the hands of Gustavo Drossa, the
Italian consular representative in New
York. 1t was said also before the pro.
ceedngs opened before Judge Blair in Jer,

also had a copy Of a dispatch sent by the
MARQUIS Paolo Di Montegliari, charge d'af
faires at the Italian embassy in Washing
ton. to Secretary of State Knox on the day
Of Charlton's arrest. and requesting tn,

quls was stated to have received a not,

mated that If Charlton were given VI
Italy would hereafter be expected to con
sent to the extradition Of Italians who com
NIT crimes in America and flee to Italy
The further exchanges reported in thi
connection were said to have resulted in
declination on the part of the Italian gov
ernment to commit itself to any such prop
osltion on the ground that an Italian pena
code provision of later date than the ex
tradition treaty with the United State
provided that no Italian subject accused o
crime should be tried outside his own coun

INSPECTING OUR
WATER WORKS

P. N. Bernard of Eureka was in
town Sunday looking over our
water system. Eureka is planning
on putting in water works and Mr..
Bernard was here getting some
pointers. One thing that, White
fish can boast of is that we have
the only municipal water works in
this part of the state, and it is one
Of the best paying propositions that
the city could have. There is
always money in the water fund
when the others are empty. Be-
sides keeping up it's own expenses
it also pays for the lighting of the
city.

LINCOLN COUNTY
AND POND AGREE

C. z. Pond, who has the con-
tract for transcribing the Lincoln
county records, stated this morning
that settlement with the COM
missioners had been affected by a.
compromise, and said that the work
would be finished in ten days or
two weeks.
There is not a real difference of
opinion between the board and my
self'' said Mr.. Pond, and I ex-
pect that in very short time the
records transcribed will be accepted.
On consultation with the commits
sioners of Lincoln county and B.
f. Maiden, it was agreed few
things had been Transcribed that
should not have been, and 1 will
lingly accepted the positions of the
county commissioners. We just
about evened up. The commits
sioners agreed to take what I
thought they would find they will
need, and l agreed not to ask pay
ment for what had already been
Transcribed which they thought un-
necessary. The difference in about
$1,000, and represents loss to me of
that amount"
Mr.. Pond, accompanied by Mrs.
Pond and son, expect to leave Kali
ispell next week for their home in
Gallitan county, and will leave the
completion of the :ecords in charge
of Arthur Heron, until his return
early in April. Mr.. Maiden and
theLincoln county commissioners
returned to Libby last night. In

STOLE FISHER
MEMS LUNCH

r. Hiekecp.ssi is serving a term of
80 days in the county Jail for petit
larceny. While he was walking
from Spokane as he claims, he
came across Jack Matthews and a
couple of friends who were at Olney
on fishing trip. On account of
there being so much snow on the
lake at the time, they were unable
to fish and cached their lunch and
paraphernalia along side of the
railroad track. Hicheopski par
took of their hospitality and then
watched his chance and stole the
lunch and a pair of shoes, and
came on to Whitefsh where Jack
caught sight of him as he was leav-
ing town. Officer Brooks was put
on his trail, and on searching him
at the Jail he was caught with the
goods. He pied guilty in Judge
Reeds court and was given the
above sentence.

man from Butte, and he is now
putting the place thru a course of
renovation and remodeling, so that
everything will be in first class
shape when the season opens.
The Point of Pines is the most
picturesque and popular landing
place on the lake. It is situated
about six miles up. on high bank
over looking the water. Back from
the shore a short distance rises the
mountains which can be easily
climbed and affords most beauti-
full and striking view of the whole
surrounding country. Thru deep
ravine flows sparkling stream of
clear cold water emptying into the
lake near the dock.
There is large log pavilion, and
number of small cabins which are
filled during the summer months

IMPROVEMENTS
AT BRICK YARD

The Hoffman Brick Co., who
operates the brick yard just
outside of the city limits east OF
town, are planning some very ex-
tensive improvements on their
plant, whereby they will be enabled
to increase their output and turn
out better product.
The brick industry promises to be
very thriving one this coming
summer. They will make brick fol
the two new structures that are to
be erected here, and have large
contracts to fill with outside parties.
A new clay grinding machine is
expected to arrive in few weeks,
and so horse power motor has
been ordered to drive the machin-
cry. Other improvements are now
being made to have the plant in
operation as soon as the weather
will permit.

CRUSHED
TO DEATH

Conductor O. l.. Pencake met
horrible death yesterday morning
by being ground under the wheels
of his train. He was in charge
of west bound freight, No. 435,
and as he was leaning out
from the side of car watching a
hot box, he was swept off by car
that was not quite in the clear on
one of the side tracks IT Fielding,
near Camp No. 2. He was not
missed until the train reached Es-
sex, and upon inquiry it was re-
ported that his mangled body had
been found so bAdly mutilated as to
be unrecognizable, but was identi-
fed by a meal ticket in one of his
pockets. The remains were brought
in last night on No. 1, and will be
shipped to Galesburg, ILL.,, for in
terment. A wife and little child,
mother and two brothers are left to
mourn his death here.

resort as any place could. All that
is needed is someone to push the
proposition and get it we'll adver-
tised. We have the mountain
scenery the fishing, the boating and
as a health resort it can not be beat.
Last summer a number of people
came here from Butte, who had run
down systems caused by over work.
After spending couple of months
at the Lakeview hotel and the Point
of Pines they went back entirely
we'll.
Mr.. Luebben is a wide awake
business man, who sees where if all
these opportunities are taken ad-
vantage of. Whitefsh can be made
into an ideal summer resort and he
intends to exert every effort to
make it such.

SOMETHING DOING
WITH THE MILWAUKEE

With the coming of spring comes
the report that the Milwaukee road
has already commenced the myster-
ious operations. That there is
something doing seems to be a fact,
but what it is they are keeping to
themselves. They are just as mum
as they always were about their op-
erations, and will not give out any
thing more than they have to.
A confirmed report has leaked
out that Kalispell man has been
engaged to pack provisions for them
from Columbia Falls, but that is all
he knows about it. They would
would not give out where he was to
pack them to. From the amount
of provisions they want freighted it
would seem that it is something
more than a surveying party that
they are sending out this time.

WAKE UP YE
BASEBALL FANS

Well! we'll! amt it about time
that we are getting busy with that
base ball organization? Here are
these nice sunny days coming back
again, and it won't be long before
the baseball grounds will he dry
and in good shape for practice.
The baseball spirit has already
broken out among the fans and all
there is to do now, is to call meet
ing and start the ball rolling.
The organization was started last
fall. A list was circulated and re-
ceived great many signers, and
the amounts set opposite their
names totals up to several hundreds
of dollars. There is still a great
deal of business to be settled up
from last year. When the season
closed everything was left where it
stood. It was decided to give a
series of dances during the winter
to raise money to have a good
treasury to start out in the spring.
We will have to hurry now, because
spring is here.
During the past week it was
talked over to hold a Hard
Times" dance, which would be
capital idea. If we are going to do
anything let us get busy at once.
Let us get together a meeting Of
the old trustees and settle up last
years business, and then start the
new stock company. The finance
committee who was appointed to
sell stock should be put to work
gathering in the subscriptions at
once. Time is getting short now
and we will have to rush things a
little.

GREAT ATTRACTION

Yesterday was the opening day
at Mrs. Hanton's millinery parlors,
and the hats there on display have
attracted the attention Of every
woman in town. She has the
largest and finest display that has
ever been shown in Whitefsh, and
her store has been crowded with
women who view the creations with
great admiration. Every one are
of the latest styles now prevailing
in the east, and to say that they
are beautiful would only be half
expressing it the way the ladies do.

NARROW
ESCAPE

Only the fact that some of the
Logging chains were dragging the
ground, prevented six lumber
jacks" from being electrocuted last
Wednesday, when a loading der
rick on which they were riding col
]ided with the transmission wires OF
the Northern Idaho and Montana
Power Co. near Whitefish. Two of
the three wires were broken and the
other was pulled loose from its
fastenings. One man was shocked
bv contact with a wire, and all the
horses were affected. The man
and horses, however, recovered in a
short time.
The derrick was being transferred
from one rollway to another, and it
had not been thought necessary to
lower it for the distance to be trav-
eled. The chains with which it
was equipped were looped about the
standards and trailing below, and
Immediately took the current. The
damage to the line was felt in Kali
ispell by suspension of all electric
motors in the middle of the after
noon, and in Whitefish all power
was off from three O'Clock until
seven. The cutoff in the sub
station here, however, enabled the
electric company to restore the
current in Is minutes. Lake
