from the Harvard Travellers club and
the Canadian government when the
latter proposed to assume the expense
of the entire expedition. Mr.. Stefans-
son communicated with the other soci-
cites, and they consented that he make
the trip for the Canadian government.
Mr.. Stefansson will thus go into the
Arctic ocean one year ahead Of Cap
tain Road Amundsen. discoverer of
the south pole, and it is believed in
many circles that the Norwegian's sue
cess had much to do with prompting
the Canadian government.
Mr.. Stefansson has purchased the
steam whaler Karlnk. of PAT tons reg
lister. The vessel was built in 1884,
and her hull is In perfect condition ow-
ing to its saturated condition with
whale oil. She will be taken to Esqui-
mault, near Victoria. and from there
will begin the voyage next May or
early in June The Karluk will pro-
coed direct through Boring strait. and
with Lands End, on Prince Patrick is
land, as her objective. will put as far
into the Arctic ocean as the open wa
ter will permit. Mr.. Stefansson ex-
poets to reach his destination in Sep
TENDER and there will make his base.
If he Is unable to reach rs far north
by ship he will establish a secondary
OF hn Of nj
laston island or Victoria island. near
his old exploring ground. The ship
will be sent back each year. and Mr..
Stefansson arranges to be in the arctic
until the closing of the summer Of
1916.
Wireless apparatus will be taken
aboard the Karluk. and stations will be
established at Lands End and at the
secondary base, through which COM
munication will be established with a
station at Herschel island. near the
mouth of the Mackenzie river. In con-
nection with this system the Canadian
government will establish series Of
stations.
With a land base established Mr..
Stefansson will penetrate the un-
known region by sledges. Eight SCI
entists will accompany the expedition
and full marine meteorological. ZOO

made. Further study of the Eskimos
win be made and moving pictures will
be taken Of them in all phases Of their

WOMAN CAPTURES
NEGRO BURGLAR

Chattanooga, March 24.--Mrs. J. s.
Boyd, wife of an engineer and whose
residence is near the downtown BUSH
ness section, held up negro found in
her house last night until the station
could be notified and policemen ar
rived to take charge of him.
Mrs. Boyd used small pistol-in
fact, the smallest made, and it was Of
old design. However, the burglar,
George Chapman, testifies 10 The fact
that her hand was steady and there
was determination in her eye that
made up for what may have been
lacking in the way of artillery.
To Detectives Krug and Wells the
negro admitted That he was much
more frightened than Mrs. Boyd. He
said that he made a mistake when he
entered the house, but this was an I'M
necessary statement.
A small girl was the only companion
of Mrs. Boyd when she heard noise
in the front of the house about $50
O'Clock but she Immediately secured
her revolver and started an investiga-
ton. In the hall she ran face to face
with the negro, and he was ordered to
halt and throw up his hands, which
he promptly did.
The little girl called the police sta
ton, telling Sergt. Cummings that
"mamma has caught burglar and
wants policeman" Detectives Wells
and Krug and Patrol Guard Kerr were
at once sent to the house in the auto
wagon, where they placed the negro
under arrest. He was charged with
HOUSEKEEPING.
Mrs. Boyd is the wife of J. s. Boyd,
an engineer on the Cincinnati, New
Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway. He
is also vice-president of the Brother
hood Supply company.

POSTMASTERS GIVING UP
POSITIONS BY HuNDRI

OoA AIO4No ID III NDNED6
Washington, March 24.--Because OF
the extension of the classified civil
service to include fourth-class post
masters and the announcement that
postmasters of that class would be
asked to qualify in competitive ex-
animation, the postoffice department
has been flooded with designations
from the service. At present resigna-
tions are reaching the department at
the rate of about twenty day ana
officials declare that about 1000 fourth
class postmasters have resigned since
the executive order placing them in
civil service was issued.
Practically all of the designations
are in postoffices where the postmas-
ter's salary is merely nominal and
where at times the expense of conduct
ing the office equals the postmaster's
compensation. In many of the cases
1t will be exceedingly difficult to Sc
cure applicants who will take the pre-
scribed examination. While the de-
partment is endeavoring to secure new
postmasters, the incumbents, although
they have resigned, will be forced to
discharge the duties of the office.

The Turquoise.

There are some varieties of, turquoise
that retain their color perpetually.
These are said to belong to the old
rock. while those which turn green are
ascribed to the new rock. Siberia
yields mammoth teeth, which after re-
ceiving color from iron phosphate are
known in the market as fossil tur-
Quoise. 1T is detected by its odor when
gently heated. If moistened with an
acid it will effervesce. The fossil tur-
quoise. so called, Is not mineral like
the rock turquoise. 1t is merely color
ed teeth of fossil animals. Neverthe-
less it retains its colcr better than a
great deal Of the real stone does.-St.

DAUGHTER OF JUDGE
HAYNES DEAD

Bristol, Tenn, March 2O.-At the
home of her father Chancellor Hal H.
Haynes. this morning Miss Mary
Lynn Haynes died Of typhoid fever.
She had been ill but few weeks and
the tragic suddenness OF her death has
thrown the community and her hun
dreds OF friends of the family in gloom.
Miss Haynes was about 10 years of
age and young woman OF many
graces and accomplishments. She
was the organist of the State Street
Methodist church and was musician
of rare ability.
Arrangements have not been COM
pleted for the funeral but in all proba-
bility it will take place Friday after
noon from the residence.

nier had played it safe. The Sox had
a big lead, however, and Jack wanted
to see if he could make Iris Speak
er catch in his new surroundings.
The ball went to the flagpOle.
Old Ponce de Leon, the original
bush league scout, who spent sum-
mer vacation in Florida few cen
turtles ago hunting for the spring of
eternal youth, was in the wrong end
of the country. He should have eX-
plOred as far north as Boston, and
he might have been advance man for
the King of Spain.
For confirmation of this dope write
Tom Needham or Otis Clymer. Both
of these octogenarians pastimed in
the Hub yesterday with deadly effect.
CIymer couldn't make good in Chi
cago. Needham played first base for
a couple of innings in Chicago sew
eral weeks ago, was almost hit on
the head by a pop fly, and struck out
when at bat. Clymer was sold to
Boston, and Needham reached there
as a member of the Cub team. N
Observe what they did in the dou-
ble-header. In the third inning of the
first game CIymer whacked triple
with the bases loaded and scored q
moment later on a single. This rough
stuff caused the departure Of Charley
Smith, who had begun to pitch for
the Cubs. With Smith went Roger
Bresnahan. This brought Richie to
the box and Tom Needham donned
the windpad and went behind the
bat. From then to the finish of the
second fray Tom put the bee on
three blOkes who tried to steal sec
Ond. He went to bat five times with
out producing anything but anguish
on the Cub bench, but in the ninth
of the last game he busted a single
to his fellow octogenarian, Clymer,
with Corriden on second, and Red
trundled home.

but was so young he got on the
nerves of Skull Altizer, Roy Patter-
son and Hobe Ferris.
The Cubs played good ball in both
games and might have won the first
if it hadn't been for Clymer and Fred
Smith, a kid brother of Charles, who
was getting his first tTy-OUt with the
Braves. In the third Br'er Fred sin
gled and the next two batters hunted.
Brother Charles tried to get Brother
Fred at second on the first bUnt and
third on the second, but Charles has
been away from home so long he for
got how fast Fred could run. This
filed the bases for Clymer's swat.
Richie finished the game, and gave
the Braves but two hits in five in
nings. This remarkable act went for
nothing, as Lefty Tyler was tieing the
Cubs into knots.
Bert HUMPHREYS caused a few more
heartbreaks in Cincinnati by his
work in the second game. He stop
ped Boston with four hits, one of
them coming in the first, when the
lO1lG Iun "d6 SCO4C GU. Ii JAlC lOuA III
Boston poled three hits, but not a
man reached second, one dying steal
ing and another being hit by a batted
ball. In the other seven innings they
were helpless. This is HUMPHREYS
eight straight win. Bert has not
aroused much startled comment
around the National League circuit,
but his pitching lately has been a
big factor in keeping the Cubs in the
fight. He is not winning because the
men back of him pound the ball. In
only one or two Of his games has the
opposition made more than six hits.
Ward Miller took Mitchell's place
in the second game and knocked an
important double and triple. Vic
Safer thumped a double and single in
the second and a single in the first.
