is ORDERED BY SULZER

sion Has Done.

ALBANY, June 12.-Governor Sui
ger ordered yesterday an investiga-
ton of the management and affairs
of the Palisades Interstate Park
Commission, of which George W.
Perkins is president. The commits
sion is composed of William H. Por-

The governor named John A. Hen
messy. Henry L. Stoddard and Ernest
Harvier, all of New York city, as In
vestigators. He gave his reasons for
ordering the investigation In the fol-
lowing statement:
1T is the governor desire to learn
just what has been done since the
ton of the commission, to
find what is now in contemplation by
the gentlemen who are representing
the States of New York and New
Jersey on the board and to determine
whether further Legislation is neces-
sary either for the condemnation of
property or for the protection of
property rights. There seems to be
differences between the
Palisades commission and the own
ers of certain property along the
river front"

FINANCES
TO Be LAID BARE
Interstate Commerce Board Be-
gins Inquisition Into Alleged
ScandaIous Deals.

WASHINGTON, June PA search
ing investigation into the financial
operations of the St Louis and San
Francisco railroad system In response
to a resolution of the Senate is to be
undertaken by the Interstate Com
merce Commission at once. The in
quiry will go deeply into relations Of
the Frisco lines with the Chicago.
Rock Island and Pacific; lay bare in
side facts concerning the~purchase
of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
and develop those pertaining to leases
by the Frisco of subsidiary roads.
The resolution directing the inquiry
was introduced by Senator Kenyon
and passed by the Senate Tuesday.
Prior to this the commission had
under consideration the matter of
lnstituting an inquiry on its own
initiative. Its authority to do SO was
questioned, but in view of the litiga-
ton over the receivership of Frisco
lines and the Discrimination Of the
commission to inject itself volun-
tarily into situation that already
was in the hands of the courts, 1t
was deemed wise to await affirma-
the House of Representatives or both.
Immediately upon receipt of Of
fetal notice of the passage of the
Kenyon resolution the commission set
its machinery in motion. Preliminary
work was begun yesterday in New
York city by agents Of the division
of carriers accounts, acting by direc-
ton of Commissioner Harlan. who is
in charge of that branch of the COM
MISSIONS work.
The inquiry will deal with all
operations of the Frisco lines since
the reorganization of the system in
1896. That will include its relations
with the Rock Island. it's purchase of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
with what are regarded as the pc
culiar" phases of that deal, and with
the acquisition by the Frisco of
leased lines at rentals which are de-
clared by those familiar with them to
be extravagant and unwarranted.
A report will be submitted to the
Senate with such comments and rec
concentrations as may be suggested
by the facts If operations in vio-
lation of the interstate commerce act
should be disclosed by the inquiry
the commission, as the administrator
of that law, may itself issue an order
in the proceeding or submit evidence
to the department of justice. The
probability is that the inquiry will
extend through many months.

mouldy biscuits from which they
made soup and rested for three days.
They ultimately reached the ship,
Rave dragging Ruedlger in.
While on the way to the ship Rave
amputated the forepart of his com
panion's foot and one of his fingers.
Meanwhile Captain Ritscher and
party, who had left Ruediger and
Rave in the hut, met furious biz
yards and were delayed for many
weeks until three of them decided to
return to the ship. Captain Ritscher
and dog struggled on, subsisting
for a week on a handful of barley
daily. After this they were without
food until they reached Thordesen.
Subsequently in continuing the
journey to Advent bay they fell
through the ice and Captain
Ritscher's feet were frozen. Never
theless he kept on, and finally
reached Advent bay in a famished
condition. Captain Ritscher was
delirious and crawled on his hands
and knees, which were covered with
ice and snow. The residents thought
he and the dog We're polar bears.
Two of the other three who started
for the ship came through awful
weather. The third disappeared

Rave remained in the hut for seven

until they had but one meal a day

They then determined to try to reach
the ship.

which enabled Ruediger just to tot

him agonizing pain. Eating only
