DOUBT: TEDDYS .. ;. RIVER. { OF DOUBT
Henry Savage Landor Issues a State ment In Which He Says Roosevelt
 Crossed 1t On Bridge.

PARIS, July 9-Henry Savage Lan- dor, one of the greatest explorers now living, issued statement today in which he calls Ex-president Theo- dore Roosevelt a fake explorer and denying that the so-called River of Doubt, supposed to have been first found by Col Roosevelt on his re- cent Brazilian trip was not known to others prior to the time of the Roosevelt exploration trip. Savage says that Roosevelt crossed the River of Doubt on a bridge built by the rubber traders in the interior and knew when he made the an nouncement of the discovery that it was a fraud.
 Friends of Col. Roosevelt have come forward with defense of the colonel and claim that his position in the matter of new discoveries is so we'll known that it cannot be at tackled by Savage or other disgruuut- led explorers.

DOCTORS WIFE
 $ ARRESTED
ed Doctors Patient Because of Intimacy Between Them.

FREEPORT. July 9.-The police today arrested Mrs. .Carman the wife of Dr. Carman. in whose office Mrs. Bailey, of Brooklyn. was shot to death last week, and charged her with murder. Investigation showed that Mrs. Carman and her daughter were suspicious of Mrs. Bailey and the doctor and had rigged up dicto- graph from his office to Mrs. Car mans bedroom, thus allowing her to hear all that was said in the consul tation room.
 Waiting until the two were togeth- CT probably in some compromising position, Mrs. Carman is believed to have come down stairs and shot Mrs. Bailey, first breaking the frosted window of the consultation room
 Mir. Bailey, a wealthy manufactur- CT. knew nothing of the relationship existing between his wife and the Freeport physician and had never even heard of the man.
 A charge of murder was made against Mrs. Carman.

If they wish they can dance at the municipal dance hall or ride in the municipal roller coaster, and on Sun- days they can see a baseball game played by municipal teams. For twelve years Conneaut saw it's resort which had been purchased at a cost Of $12,ooo inismanaged and run by, private individuals to whom 1t had been leased. Last fall D. w. Brace, was elected mayor and S. w. Mahaf-' fey director of public service on a, Socialist ticket. Brace had been a railroad conductor and Mahatfey a day laborer. The first thing Brace and Mahaffed did was to clean up the park 50 that 1t might become a real place of rest for people of small Smeaas. That they succeeded was; shown in the first warm days of June when people had to be turned away, Sor lack Of room. Enlargement of, the park Is planned for next year.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The De- pertinent of Justice announced today that the government would commence suit at once against the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad to have it's charter revoked and the company dissolved.
 The dissolution suit has been or dered because of the refusal of the officials of the railroad to sell the Boston and Maine railroad, which is operated in connection with the New Haven Line in the New England states and in no wise competes with the New Haven system.
 President Elliott has refused point blank to carry out the orders of the attorney general and wili fight the case through the courts and predicts that the company will win, as they have not violated the law but tried to give the people of New England a good service. ,

READY ID FLY ACROSS OCEAN
 
Gasoline Problem is Hard to Solve FIyina Boat Starts his Month to
 Win the s5o,ooo Prize.

HAMMONDSPORT, N. Y., July g. Glenn H. Curtis, maker of Rodman Wanamaker's flying boat in which Lieut.. John c. Porte will try to win The Daily Mail prize of $50,0O0 for a flight across the Atlantic, admit ted that the gasoline problem might not prove as simple as it looked on paper.
 The tanks behind the cabin con- tain 300 gallons. In the recent test of the engines, driven at sixty mile an hour speed, gasoline was consum- ed at the rate of nine and ~six-tenths an hour At this rate 192 gallons would fly the boat to the Azores.
 in case of stubborn head wind, however, MT. Curtiss said, the 300 gallons might prove insufficient and the flying boat might have to take to the ocean. In this event, as the flight will be over the tracks of steamers to and from the South of Europe, the pilots will be able to alight where they will have a good chance of rescue. But. the boat weighs, approximately 2,500 pounds, and its fuel and crew weigh about another 2,5OO, and with it's light framework and comparatively heavy engines, it might not be able to hold its own for long in heavy seas.
 The distance from St. Johns. New Foundland, the starting point, to the Azores is 1,199 miles. It is estimat- ed that this distance will be covered in twenty hours if the conditions are favorable. Those twenty hours, how ever, will be the severest kind of a test for the two aviators. They will spend that time in cramped quarters in the tiny weatherproof cabin of oiled silk and transparent celluloid.
 The body of the airboat is shaped like a fish, the cabin occupying the head. As the pilots sit at their lev CTS they have a view of the world below them through the tough eel luloid windows. One handle in the little room operates searchlight, which may be used if it is necessary to descend on the ocean at night. \ switch turns on string of small electric lights, making 1t possible for the pilot to study his compass and other instruments after dark or dur ing a thick fog.
 According to the estimates of Lieut.. Porte. the 1.199 miles from St. John's t9 the the Az9res 'will take twenty hours, the S63 miles from the Azores lt6 vigo sixteen hours. and ths 53s miles from Vigo to Plymouth nine hours. Lieut.. Porte allows for ten hours or more to be consumed in stops at the Azores, at vigo. or pos s!bly at some place in the ocean. His estimate of the total time required for the trip is fifty-five hours-sev- enteen less than the maximum allow ed by The Daily Mail.

The Copper River and Northwest ern Railroad recently paid the tax of ,$19,525 on its 195 IA miles of road in operation from Cordova to the Kennecott mines The tax for 1914 and 1915 was paid to Clerk of the Court Arthur Lang on June 25th and has already been turned into the Treasury and can only be repaid by an act of congress.
 The loss of the tax will seriously affect the work of the road commis- sion, which received sixty-fve per cent of all moneys collected outside of incorporated towns in Alaska and used for the work of building roads and trails in the territory.
 The Cordova railroad is the only road in Alaska which has ever paid its taxes. Falcon Joslin, president of the Panama railroad, operated from Fairbanks to the creeks, stated sev- eral weeks ago that he had figured it out that he owed the government $1O,O00, ,O0O in taxes and fines for his road, but never intended to pay it.
 The repeal bill has already been passed by the House of Representa- tives and will now go to the president for his approval.
