NO ALARM FOR THE KARLUK.
Stefansson's Friends Say He Ex-
pected ship to he Frozen In.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 22-Friends OF
vilhjalInur Stefansson are not alarmed
for the safety of Stefansson's arctic ship
Karluk, under command Of Capt. Robert
Bartlett. Stefansson had hoped the Kar-
LUX would not be clutched by the ice
until 1t had attained considerable dis
tance northeast OF Point Barrow. How
ever, he found ice close to the point.
and entered a lead with the intention of
being frozen in. The ship was frozen
in, and Is supposed to be drifting with
the ice. The danger always present In
a lead Is that its sides will close and
crush the boat The Karluk Is not built
to Withstand a squeeze by the ice.
Stefansson told friends before leaving
that the Karluk's crew and scientists
would be safe, even II the ship were
crushed. as they were prepared to take
to the ice.

READING ROOM FOR TARS.
BattIeship New York to Have
Library for Enlisted Men.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE battleship New
York, the navy's biggest ship, now with
in per cent Of completion, is to be the
first ship of the navy to have a reading
and reception room for the sailors. The
New York is berthed next to the flag
ship Wyoming, also OF the superdread-
nought class, but of less tonnage than
the new vessel
The reading and reception room will
contain the crews library, reading tables,
writing desks, newspapers racks and
magazine stands and comfortable lounges
and chairs. The room may be used as
a reception room where the enlisted men
can welcome visitors
This reading and reception room is an
idea of Secretary Daniels. of the Navy
Department, who saw in 1t another way
TO make the life more pleasant for the en-
listed men. The newer of the ships now
in commission. among which are includ-
ed the superdreadnought Wyoming. Ar
kansas, Utah, Florida, Delaware and
North Dakota, probably will be fitted with
reading and reception rooms, in the near
future.

Stayed in His Office.

. He had not lived at his splendid home
for three years. He had suffered an in
jury to his left leg. which forced him to
use a cane. Although his home was only
three blocks from the office, he said he
could not climb the hill to get there, and
so had a room fitted up for himself ad-
joining the Office. That the other room
the one used by the woman-was part of
his suite was not known. He was on
amicable terms with his family and went
home always for Sunday dinners.
Miss Branch declared that her only
reason for becoming a recluse of romance
was that she loved Melvin Couch She
said they had met fifteen years ago when
she was a saleswoman for a Chicago
book publisher and visited his office. She
was young and beautiful then. She went
to Fallsburg for a time and he visited
her there. She went to Middletown and
lived with a Mrs. Susan NJ. Ostrum.
There she became immensely popular
through her wit and good looks, but
made frequent unexplained excursions
out of town.
She explained that during her life in
the Office Mr. Couch did the marketing.
She prepared the meals on oil stoves
there were three in the little room. A
well-equipped pantry was also found. His
brother is postmaster in Fallsburg
She was held on a technical charge of
petty larceny, but probably will be re-
leased tomorrow.

the porter escorted Mr.. Mccormick
to the door of the Pullman and then
dropped his shoes, socks, coat and
hat to the platform after him.
This is no way for a properly con-
Quoted Pullman porter to behave. 1t
suggests a GOODNESS of heart and an
unfeeling nature.
Also, if the dispatch be correct, it
suggests that Mr. Mccormick was
left without the solace of trousers,
although tardily provided with
shoes, socks, coat and hat"
Then there is the part played in
the tragedy by John S. Runnells,
president of the Pullman Company,
who would appear to have been as
cold and unfeeling as his porter.
Il spent the evening on the train
with John S. RUnneIls an old
friend of mine, and later joined some
of the train crew - says Mr.. Nc
COrmick.
Why was not Runnells to the res
cue of his friend? Why did not Run
nells rush to the front to protect Mr..
Mccormick from alternating train
crews, which ended with results
which Mr.. Mccormick knows they
now regret far more than he?"
It was unkind of Mr.. Runnells to
allow an old friend to wander off a
train at way station clad only in a
suit of pajamas and an apparently
dazed feeling.
No old friend ought to act that
way.
Then there is the last sad, but en-
tirely unexplained part of the trag-
edy:
81 think it is unnecessary for ME
to say more to the men who,
with me, believe it is better to suffer
a little in the cause of humanity than
to engage in lawsuits" says McCOr-
mick, plaintively.
You see!' Mccormick suffered!

from being thus exposed in all his
beauty to the eye of the hOi pOllOi?
Or was it because rude, Unfeeling
policemen laid hands upon his sacred
person and dragged him off to Jail
on charge of drunk and disOrderly?
Or was it because those policemen
doubtless told him to tell it to the
judge when he tried to explain who
he was and what a mistake they were
making?
One inclines to think it was be-
cause of the first reason. Without
question the sensitive soul of Mr..
Mccormick would be overcome with
chaste horror at the very idea of thus
appearing before low persons, who
very likely did not have the common
decency to turn away their heads as
Mr.. Mccormick passed by.
And here is the very nub Of the
matter.
Unnecessary for me to say more
to men who, with me, believe it
is better to suffer a little in the cause
of humanity than to engage in law
SUITS says Mr.. Mccormick.
Here we have at least the hint of
a deep, emotional reason.
Mr.. Mccormick left the train at
Syracuse at 1855 o'clock in the morn
ing, clad only in his pink pajamas,
IN THE CAUSE OF HUMANITY.
Mr.. Mccormick knew he would
suffer from the UnfeeIing and pos
sibly lewd glances of the crowd.
But Mr.. Mccormick, ever ready to
do and die in sacred CAUSE OF HUI
MANITY, went through his bitter or
deal with his teeth clenched and his
head raised proudly.
It was in THE CAUSE OF HUI
MANITY and should Mccormick hes
itate?

Jere to pry the lid of the box OF hid
