James R. Scott. OF SO Elm Street North

his patrons because he was reported TO
the Sealer OF Weights and Measures for
selling short weight. yesterday decided
that it would be in his best interests to
pursue more legal tactics. So the boycott
has come to an end, and Oscar McKim-
mic, OF 700 Jefferson Street Northwest
who was the victim Of the boycott will in
future receive his Ice daily
Yesterday William c. Haskell, District
Sealer Of Weights and Measures, had a
conference with the dealer, and notified
him that unless the boycott was discon-
tinued. prosecution would follow i'm
mediately In the Police Court. Scott at
once made known his intention of serving
the Jefferson Street customer again, al
though he admitted that he did not much
like to have District inspectors prowling
around patrons houses for the purpose Of
discovering cases Of short weight
The case of Scott is the first Of its
kind that has come to the attention of the
Sealer of Weights and Measures this
summer. Last year there were five. Mr..
Haskell believed that the publicity given
the matter will prevent other dealers
from attempting such action. II any
more cases do come to the attention of
the authorities, 1t is extremely likely that
prosecutions will be pushed.

DID ANDREE BEAT
PEARY TO POLE?
Sweden ALI Wrought Up Over Pos
sibility-National Geographic
Officials Have Nothing to Say.

If officials of the National Geographic
Society are uneasy over the report which
comes from Stockholm that Andree, tho
Swedish arctic explorer, might have
passed over the north pole in his III
fated balloon before Commander Peary
or DR.. Cook reported their discovery,
they do not exhibit any symptoms there
of. In fact they prefer not to discuss
the question which is asked In Stock
holm: WAS Andree before Peary in
sighting the north pole?'
Swedish cable advices state that the
Norwegian explorer, Christian Leden, is
contemplating an expedition to Northern
Canada for the purpose OF lifting, II
possible, the veil of mystery which sur
rounds the fate of Andree and his brave
followers. A leading Swedish newspaper
hazards the theory that Andrees Inflated
balloon may have passed over the north
pole, as was planned by the bold and
clever Swede.

HUMANE FEE SYSTEM.
r. J. Ryan Says II Makes Agents
of Society OverzeaIous.

The fee system OF the Washington HUI
name Society was attacked as most
vicious. by Attorney p. ]. Ryan in the
Police Court yesterday during the trial
by jury OF James II. johnson. a horse
owner. on a charge OF cruelty to ami
mails.
Mr.. Ryan stated that the society was
maintained almost entirely from the fines
imposed upon horse owners in the court
in cases of cruelty charges. All such
fines are turned over to the organization.
The attorney said that because OF this
fact agents of the society become over
jealous in their attempts to procure as
many prosecutions as possible.
The jury returned a verdict OF not
guilty after a trial lasting about two
hours.
