were received today by DR.. Samuel j.
Mixter, from his son. Samuel Mixter.
Bear party that remained with the
power schooner chartered by the Har-
ward expedition, when she was frozen
in the Arctic ice.
One letter was dated December 8.
on board the Belvedere. at Collinson
Point, where the writer was the guest
of DR.. Anderson of the Southern dt-
vision Of Stefansson's party and the
other was written on December %. on
board the Polar Bear. The mail was
taken on foot and sledges much of the
way to Fairbanks, Alaska. The first
letter says:
still no word of the Karluk. This
bunch, however, is all right and will
continue the three year trip anyhow.
Tomorrow, we start for the Polar Bear.
some sixty miles. with DR.. Anderson
and two Others"
The second message says:
''Stefannson, on his way out. has
just arrived: thinks the Karluk is still
in the ice. The same blow of Septem-
Der % that let US into shore, took the
Karluk to the westward-hOw far,
goodness knows. The Transit, a big

TENER Determined.
Won't Rest Until Chicagoans Owr
Cubs-Murphy Out.

New York, March 26.-Governor John
K. Tener, president OF the National
League. paid flying visit to New York
on business other than baseball and
said today he had nothing further to
add to his statement regarding Charles
H. Thomas. the newly elected president
of the Chicago Cubs, but was inclined
to believe that a man occupying such
q position should be financially inter
ested in the club. .=>sss;
Our job in Chicago is only half
done,'' said Governor Tener. The GUST
ing Of c. W. Murphy was the big half
of the work. but never shall rest con-
tent until we have the club controlled
by Chicago capital. This. believe,
will be a reality Of the near future.
Several persons or syndicates are in the
field as prospective purchasers. Each
has an offer with some sort Of prOviso
attached except the Connery folks, who
made, the highest cash offer to date.
Il am one who believe that G. w.
Murphy did hold and own the control
ling interest IA the Chicago club.
am also of the firm; belief that he is no
longer connected with the club in any
way.
