Commander Peary, discoverer of the
North pole, will probably address the
University Of Copenhagen some time
in May. The great American Arctic
explorer is to come to Europe in the
latter part Of April and has been in
vited to deliver an address in Copen-
hagen. While he has not definitely
accepted the invitation it is generally
believed that he will come, if for no
other purpose than to show up the
fallaciOuS statements made by Dr.
Cook while he was over here to lee
ture and set forth his claims before
the Geographical society. The learned
university audience that will greet
Commander Peary will, in fact, be the
most critical and skeptical that he
will address and there is no gainsay-
ing the fact that his coming is awaited
with ardent interest on the part of

Eric Gundmark, the Norwegian
writer, tells an interesting Bjornson
story, which we'll deserves to go the
rounds. "Oue day Bjornson was trav-
cling through Valders and was going
to cross Filefeld. His conveyance
was a carriOle with boy, as usual,
perched behind. The road was very
dirty and the going very heavy, but as
they went along they enjoyed very
lively conversation. Presently there
was long pause, during which Bjorn-
son was immersed in thought. At
length the 10y said: What are you
thinking of now. Bjornson?" oh"
said Bjorns0n, Il was thinking how
that big wheel of the carriage reminds
me of the wheel of time, which whirls
great men away from each other. Now
Ibsen is in Germany, Jonas Lie in
Paris. Christopher Jansen in America
and here | am sitting in this carriole."
The boy made no answer, but seemed
very thoughtful. Soon they reached
a fiat stretch of road and BjOrnson
whipped up the horse. They travelled
faster now, but both were silent. After
a time Biornson asked the boy;
What are you thinking about, my
boy?" "Oh," was the reply, II was
only thinking of the big wheel of the
carriole and how it throws one large
piece Of mud here and another there"
been making active preparations for
a new North polar expedition, has sud
denly encountered some unpleasant
financial difficulties, which may cur
tail his plans, at least for the present.
Many foreign firms who have prom
ised to send financial assistance are
hesitating to do so on the ground that
Peary's alleged discovery of the North
pole has lessened the interest in fu-
ture North polar expeditions. 1t also
is barely possible that the storthing
will refuse to make it's appropriation
of 30, 900 crowns, which was originally
promised from that body. The loss
from the firms that promised to con-
tribute is estimated by Amundsen to
amount to more than $4,000 crowns.
1t is reported that Amundsen has not
given up hope yet and that he is de-
termined to make another dash for
the pole. But if Peary did it Amund-
sen is a little late in the game.
When Colonel Roosevelt reaches

the Norwegian capital and there will .
be more people in Christiania that

TRIES To SHOW He IS
PARTNER OF SPELLACY
c. S. Young Introduces Many Let
terS to Prove His Side
of the Case

In the trial of the suit of c.. S. Young
against Timothy Spellacy, oil operator
and politician, before Judge Monroe
of the superior court, most of yester-
days session was taken up with eff
forts to prove a partnership between
the two men.
Young again occupied the witness
stand for a major part of the day, and
his attorneys read letter after letter
which were alleged to have passed be-
tween the men, many references being
made to their alleged Joint dealings
and many requests on the part of
Young to know when Spellacy would
divide the property which he charges
partly is his, being given.
II is admitted by both the plaintiff
and the defendant that Young was
elected vice president and a director
of both the Illinois Crude Oil company
and the Mascot Oil company, which
concerns are said to have sprung from
the profits of oil operations in which
the men were engaged.
Young alleges that while he was out
of the state property and leases in
which he jointly was interested with
Spellacy were sold by the latter, who
kept the plaintiffs share, amounting
to $24,002.03, and invested 1t and since
has refused to give him his share in
property now valued at more than
$2,O00,00O. He also is suing for dam
ages OF $5O0,O00.
Documentary evidence of a similar
dry nature as already has been intro
duced is expected to continue for a few
days, and the trial as a whole is likely
to last for considerable period.
Spellacy makes a general denial of
the claims of Young and will relate
his side of the case in detail later on.

ANGELENO MAKES SHORT
FLIGHT IN AER0PLANE
George DuesIer Pilots a Locally
Built Machine

George Duesler, driving an aeroplane
owned by the Greer Robbins company
of this city, made a fight of $50 feet at
a 25-foot elevation over measured
course at the motordrome near Playa
del Rey yesterday.
The machine was of the Farman type
and had been built by p. II. Greer, A.
c. Robbins and George Duesler, the
driver-making n home production
which can be entered in contest for
the Roy Knabenshue loving cup, to be
won by the first local aviator flying
more than 500 feet in machine made
in Los Angeles.
From the successful fight made yes
terday, Mr.. Greer believes that Mr..
Duesler will in the near future capture
the trophy.
The motordrome is too small an in
closure to allow a flight of 500 feet as
the machine, when it strikes the ground
for the stop, travels at the rate of from
twenty to thirty miles an hour. The
next try for the cup will be made in
the open.

FAILS TO HAVE CITY HALL
ANNEX PLAN ABANDONED

Joseph Mesmer begged the council
yesterday to reconsider its action in
appropriating $4,000 to build an an
mex to the city hall. But the council
would not reconsider and the appro-
priation stands.
Mr.. Mesmer, who was largely in
strumental in the city's securing the
Temple block for a city hall site, said
that some who had donated to the
purchase price of the Temple block
were fearful that the city would never
build a municipal building on the
ground. He suggested that the city
refund the $125,000 paid by private
property owners towards the purchase
of the Temple block and the city would
be under no obligation to build there.
The council assured Mr.. Mesmer
that there was no intention of aband-
oning the Temple block but that the
annex was for temporary purposes
only.

News of the Courts
COURT DECIDES MARKS
MUST PAY BANK $1,000
Judge Houser Adjusts Financial
TangIe in Which A. E. Warm
4. inuton Was Involved

Operations of A. r. Warrington,
now in the penitentiary for fraudulent
realty manipulations were recalled by
a decision rendered yesterday by
Judge Houser of >the superior court in
the case of the Union Exchange bank
against Benjamin w. Marks, men,
Der of a wealthy Pasadena family.
Marks was formerly the cashier of
the bank which later sued him. and
during his incumbency Warrington
went to the institution to borrow money
on a forged mortgage for $l2OO. AS ne
had an account at the bank, Marks, at
the instance of the president, who de-
clared no liability attached to the
action, signed a note for $1,000 in favor
of the bank, and Warrington gave the
mortgage to it and obtained the desired
money. Incidentally, Warrington be-
gan overdrawing his account at ire
quent intervals, but the bank othclals
permitted the action without protest
He and Marks became good friends,
even going on hunting trips together,
and Warrington borrowing nearly
$4,000 from the cashier.
In course of time, before the previous
forgery was learned, Warrington is
sued another fraudulent mortgage,
which he sold for $1,000. He took the
check to the Union Exchange bank
and there deposited 1t to his credit.
Then he drew upon his account a
check for the same amount in favor OF
Marks to liquidate a part of his IN
debtedness. Marks, who in the mean
time had left the employ of the BANK
promptly cashed the check.
Shortly afterward the man who had
paid the $1,000 for the second fraudu-
lent mortgage learned of the trick
PLAYED on him and ordered the bank
to stap payment on the check But 1t
was too late to save the bank, which
suffered the loss of the $1,000. The IN
stitution, however, in an effort to save
itself the loss, sent an agent to Marks,
telling him that his reputation had
suffered by his companionship with
Warrington, and that unless he pald
the $1,000 back the bank would give out
a story which would do him no good.
Under that pressure Marks gave his
note to the bank for the payment to II
of $1,000. Later he refused to pay, and
the institution sued him for that note
and for the $1,000 lost on the first fraud
ulent mortgage.
Judge Houser decided that Marks
had given his note for $1,000 to the bank
while he was menaced, and that he
therefore need not pay that sum, but
that he must pay the $1,000, despite his
understanding from the president that
his signature on the paper did not rem
der him liable.

COMMITTEE MUST TRIM
MILLION FROM BUDGET

The budget committee is having a
most difficult task to cut down the de-
partment estimates to fit the city's
income. More than a million dollars
must be trimmed off somewhere, and
w. j. Washburn, chairman of the COM
mittee, said yesterday that only half
million had been found so far, al
though nearly all the estimates had
been gone over. Accordingly, the COM
mittee must go over them again and
find another half million.
The committee finds the revenue de-
rived from recently annexed territories
is not as great as the increased ex-
pense. The old city must suffer some
in order that the newer portions may
be provided for.
It will be at least ten days before
the budget committee will be ready to
report, but a report must be made
during August in order that the ordi-
nance may be passed fixing the tax
rate.

CITY MAY COLLECT FEES
ON ALL BANKING LOANS

An amendment to the license ordi-
nance that will bring large revenue
from the banks was presented to the
council by Chief Deputy City Attor-
ney Wilson yesterday and sent to the
legislation committee. By its terms
the banks must pay a license fee of
one and a half cents on each $1,000 Of
loans and discounts, the amount to be
computed according to the business
shown on the last day of each preced-
ing month.
The council aimed at the same thing
when it passed the license ordinance
several months ago, but it was worded
so that the banks had to pay the IL
done,
