BOUND FOR ETAH.
Bradley Is Making Trip to Get Doctor
Cooks Records.

Copenhagen, Sept. 15.-The Danish
steamer Hans Egede arrived here to-
day with the news that John r. Brad
ley, the financial hacker of Dr. Fred
erick A. Cooks north pole expedition
was on his way to Etah to secure the
much-talked of records and instru-
ments which Cook has said he left at
that Eskimo settlement northeast of
Greenland. The captain of the steam
er thinks that Cook is with Bradley,
but gives no reason for this belief.
The Hans Egede, which is the YES
sci on which the explorer travelled to
civilization fell in with yacht at Good
Haven, a Danish settlement on the
south coast of Disco island, Greenland
and in the course of exchanges be-
tween the masters learned that Brad
ley was aboard the other craft
The polar hunt promoter admitted
his identity and explained that he was
bound for 'Etah to recover whatever
had been left there by DIR. Cook He
refused, however, to either deny or
confirm the report that he was accom-
panied by the explorer.
The government vessel also brings
the information that two missionaries
who are working among the Eskimos
who accompanied Cook on his ex-
pedition say that these Eskimos insist
that the doctor reached the north
pole as he claims, prior to it's dis
covery by Commander Peary.

The robbery of the Chicago sub

The archives of the department re-
cord a mysterious embezzlement of
100000 from the New Orleans sub
treasury during the Civil war.
The vaults in the department at
Washington were rified of $4,000 in
1872 by a trusted employee, who was
caught and convicted A few years
later the receiving vaults of the same
institution were robbed of a package
of bills by a clerk. He also was tried
and convicted.
In October, 1907, the sub-treasury in
st. Louis was robbed of $61,5O0.
Fitzgerald Gives Bond.
Chicago, Sept. 15.-Efforts to secure
q reduction in the bail of George W.
Fitzgerald, who was arrested here
yesterday charged with stealing $173,-
600 from the sub-treasury three years
ago were made in the United States
district court today before Judge
Lands. Judge Lands fixed the bail
last night at $4,000, which Fitzger-
aid was unable to furnish at the time
and in consequence spent the night
in a cell.
The prisoner who stoutly denies the
charge against him, was brought from
the county iail into court TO listen To
the arguments. Attorney Litzinger
representing the defendant declared
that a bond of fifteen or twenty thou
sand dollars would be more fair. How
ever, he declared no matter what the
sum, 1t would be provided.
After hearing from both sides,
Judge Lands declined to reduce the
bail.
Bonds of $4,000 were furnished
by VIM. Joyce and James Ralph.

KANSAS JUSTICES HoNoREp.
The Name of a New One Appears
Among Them in Portland Paper.

The following is from "The Specta-
tor" Portland, Oregon paper:
At pleasant luncheon, the Multi
nomah Bar association was host on
Monday to Chief Justice johnson and
Associate Justices Mason and McGaw,
of the supreme court of Kansas, who
are spending a few days in the Rose
City visiting friends. Chief Justice
Johnson has been on the bench for
twenty-five years, and is considered
one of the strong judges of the West.
Members of the local bar were gather
ed to honor the Kansans.
Mr.. Schnabel presided. and made
Chief Justice Johnson the laughing
victim of the story told of the drum
mer travelling through Kansas with a
bottle of good rye. AS he did not care
to drink alone. he asked his fellow
passenger, who was said to be Chief
Justice Johnson: do you ever drink ?''
Whereupon the chief justice, slowly re-
moving his eye glasses, answered.: "Is
that an invitation, or merely an in
quiry?"
The McGaw referred to is evidently
a new Kansas Justice. His name does
not appear in the supreme court roster
either present or prospective. It is
possible that it refers to c. A. McGaw,
of the law firm of Ferry. Doran &
McGaw.' He is at large somewhere in
