Starts on Relief Expedition.

The task before Commodore Schley was,
therefore, none of the simplest-he must
succeed where two well equipped parties
had already failed-but with character
ist:c thoroughness and system he made
every preparation for the undertaking.
Under his command were the three steam
whaiers Thetis, Bear and Alert, and May
L. 1854 he set out from ST. Johns. New
foundIand bound for the first rendezvous
at Disco Greenland. Only his determine
ton and intrepidity saved this expedition
from the same failure that had overtaken
the two former: and although earnestly
urged TO turn back when the solid ice
pack threatened 10 impede navigation, lie
replied that far from turning back. he
would proceed with increased haste as a
few hours might mean life or death to
tie lost crew.
This proved to be the true estimate
OF the case, as Greely's party could
have held out hardly more than two
days longer. From papers and records

Dor, near where the Proteus had been

STRIKERS VIOLENCE
CALLS OUT THE POLICE
Illinois Central Carpenter Res
cued When Attacked by
Union PiCketS.

CHICAGO. October 2.-Violence broke
out today among the striking employees
of the Illinois Central railroad shops at
Burnside, where the main shops of the
line are located, which resulted in a
riot call being sent to the Kensington
police station. A carpenter who de-
clined to walk out with the other men
was assaulted by four union pickets
as he was going to work. He was
s:yuck on the head with a brick, and
when a Waterman employed by the IL
liiois Central attempted to interfere he
was roughly handled and warned to
let union pickets alone in the future
John Thomas, the carpenter, was RESI-
cued by the police, who arrived on the
scene as a second attack on him was
being made. He escaped with slight in
juries.
Illinois Central officials declare that
100 strikers have returned to work since
Saturday. and it is reported that 500 OF
the 1000 shopmen employed at Burn
side are at work today.
saturday was a half holiday in the
shops at nearly all points on the sys-
tenn. and in some cities the men were
only employed during the first four days
of the week, consequently IL was not
possible to determine to what extent
the strike order was obeyed.
Conflicting Claims.
Illus Kruttschnitt, vice president and
director of maintenance and operation of
the Union and Southern Pacific lines, eX-
pressed the opinion that less than - per
cent of the shopmen had gone out.
w. Nj. Park. first vice president and
general manager of the Illinois Central,
claimed that less than one-haH of the
1860 men on his line had obeyed the
order. j. A. Franklin, international
president of the Boilermakers' Union, as
serted that 10000 men quit work Satur-
day and that their number would be IN
creased during the day.
In some instances the unions have given
special permission to the older men, long
in the employ of the system, who would
find difficulty in obtaining employment
elsewhere to remain at work.
The only trouble SO far reported oc-
Cured Yesterday at McComb, Miss,

Her foot was caught in the stirrup, but

The evidence as presented by the
state makes pretty conclusive case
against Reno, and, in the opinion of
many who heard it, any jury in the
country would convict him of the un-
natural crime of which he is charged.

PREP. STUDENTS MUST
LEARN TO SPELL

Pearsons Academy, walla Walla,
Wash.--At Pearson's academy the OLD
fashioned "spellin book" is to come
into its own again. Mature" study,
drawing, and other modern" school
subjects have driven from the grade
schools the thorough study Of SPELL
ing that used to be done there, with
the result that when pupils enter the
college preparatory schools they are
unable to spell words in common use.
The teachers of English at Pearsons
are tired Of correcting four or five
misspelled lords on every theme,
hence the old time spelIer Is to be
introduced. The freshmen and
sophomores will be required to learn
from a spelling book twenty" 90,

PEARSONS STUDENTS
UNFAMILIAR WITH BIBLE

Pearsons Academy, Walla walla,
Wasn.-Invesug ugation at Pearsons
academy has revealed the fact that
the students as a whole possess a la
mentable ignorance in regard to the
Bible, Daniel and the lions den, Jo-
nah and the whale, Moses, David and
Goliath, Samson and the other IA
nous characters and incidents are
practically unknown to them. The
Bible stories which were as much
part of the knowledge of children a
generation or so ago as the tales OF
Mother Goose, seem not to have been
brought to the attention Of the pres
ent preparatory pupils at all. No p,
tempt has been made to place the
responsibility Of this ignorance Of
Biblical literature, but an effort Is tc
be put forth to remedy the situation
A study Of the Bible as literature Il
to be taken up in the school, the
work to be done in connection with
the study Of English literature. Ir
the freshman and sophomore classes
! the Bible stories will be studied JUS
| as any masterpieces Of narrative lit.
! erature are considered by these two
classes. No reference will be made
to the religious significance Of the
stories.
In the junior class the principa
! poems Of the Bible will be read ant
| discussed from the standpoint Of
great literature. while the senior
class will study the drama as exem.
plified in the bible. The book Of Jol
will furnish most Of the material fol
, this latter work.

Crazy Man Causes Excitement

Chris Herr, the Sunnyside man who
was yesterday pronounced insane by
the county board. was put aboard the
local this morning and, accompan-
led by one of the asylum guards, is
now en- route to Salem. Though he
had been put into a straight jacket,
he gave the guard and Deputy Sher-
iff George Strand quite a tussle be-
fore they got him located in a seat
and ended up by ramming his head
through one of the car windows.
Fortunately, though, he was only
scratched a little on the face. Herr
is the man who went insane while
trying to invent a vacuum pump
which would have perpetual motion.

KERWIN FREED BY
JURY YESTERDAY
CASE SUBMITTED TO
JURY WITHOUT ARGUMENT
Man Charged With Receiving Stolen
Goods Given Liberty-Man Charged
With statutory Offense on Trial
Today.

Not guilty. was the verdict re-
turned yesterday afternoon by the jury
which heard the testimony in the case
Kerwin, on a charge of receiving
stolen goods
The man made a good witness for
himself and this undoubtedly was a
factor in the reaching of the verdict
but the outcome was also due to some
extent to the shrewdness of Attorney
Will NJ. Peterson who defended Ker-
win.
The district attorney waived his
opening argument when the testi-
mony was all in, believing he could
clinch his case in his rebuttal, but
Peterson Immediately arose and waiv-
ed his argument which precluded the
possibility of a rebuttal and had the
effect of submitting the case to the
jury without any argument whatever.
Kerwin was given his liberty last
night and Immediately proceeded to
fill up on the beverage that exhilir-
ates and during this inebriated period
is said TO have told several persons
that he was a lucky dog as he was
guilty of the charge alright"
Sodomy Case Held Up.
Through an oversight, the sodomy
case in which william Reno is the de-

with its testimony, Attorney S. A
Newberry arose and filed a motor
that the case be not taken to the jury
alleging as his grounds that the de-
fendant had not been given an op.
portunity to plead which is a viola
tion Of the law, and he cited a case
appealed TO the supreme court in
which Justice King had written an op
inion holding that the defendant was
entitled 10 . new trial on the same
ground.

that period, was committed to a SAM

her Incarceration was made by two Of
her sisters and signed by Supreme

Mrs. Hewes, according to the petit
ton, has suffered from many delu-

presence Of her dead husband, being
that her relatives continually have
prosecuted her. She is wealthy and
has many friends.
II wish nothing published about
this, for 1t is no business of the pub

the sisters who presented the peti-
ton. She called this down the stairs
of her home, No. 10 West Seventy

Maurer, who is a millionaire with a
large contracting establishment at No.

Insane from Overworlx.

Mrs. Fred Ganger, wife of a well

who has been in attendance upon her
mother here for some time last night
became suddenly bereft of her senses
and breaking from those in the house,
escaped out of the door and disap-
peared. The Officers were notified
and finally succeeded in finding her.
It is said that Mrs. CANCERS insanity
was caused by her faithfulness in at
tending to her mother who is very
sick, and that the strain from over
work and loss of sleep was too much
for her mind.
