ATTEMPTS DASH TO
 WRANGELL ISLAND

NOME, Sept. 4. The gasoline schooner King & Winge which arriy cd here last Tuesday from Point Bar row and briloght news of the explorer Vilhjalmur stefansson. sailed from here yesterday and will make a new effort to rescue the twenty-two casta. ways of the wrecked Karluck of the Stefansson expedition. The men have been on Wrangell Island since March 10 and are now believed to be with out provisions.
 The steamer Bear endeavored to reach the men last month, but after a struggle with ice and heavy gales was forced to turn back and return to Nome. The Bear is now coaling here and will make another effort to reach the men. It was to sail in few days following the King & Winge,
 Capt Robert A. Bartlett who was master of the Karluk, informed Olaf swenson, captain of the King & Wing, of the plight of the men, Bart lett stated he thought the Canadian government would reimburse the own CTS of the King & Winge for the time expended in attempting the rescue. Swenson said he would accept the charter if only for humanity's sake. He expects to succeed because his boat is faster than the Bear, and being smaller as well, It stands a better chance of threading it's way through the ice.

OF LOSS OF
 WILLIAM GER CROSSE

LONDON. Sept. 9 The Evening New publishes dispatch from Las Palmas. Canary Islands, giving an account of the sinking of the North German-Lloyd transatlantic liner Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse on the coast of Africa. by the cruiser High Flier reported Thursday.
 lieutenant Dean. a British army of icer. taken prisoner by the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse from the British steamship Galicla on the high seas, is authority Of the Las Palmas cor. respondent. and in an interview he gives a graphic account of how the great liner was destroyed.
 Lieutenant Dean was not on board the German liner; he had been sent over to the collier Arueai, from which the liner was eoaling. When 1t was seen that the Kaiser Wilhelm was doomed, the German captain sent his sword his dispatch boat and a letter to his wife to the collier, his secre, tary being his messenger Previous to doing this the captain of the liner had announced that he would himself blow up his command rather than sur render.
 When the High Flier opened fire on ' the liner, Lieutenant Dean continues, the collier was still fastened to her by one hawser, and owing to some de- lay certain prisoners on board the liner did not got a chance to leave the ship. The Kaiser Wilhelm was bow on to the High Flier and th9 Brit ish cruiser had some difficulty in finding her mark. She maneuvered to get broadside and the cannonOde last ed for forty minutes. All the shots rom the Kaiser Wilhelm appeared to be falling short. From the collier 1t was seen tbat she had been hit three times and on catching fire, she ceas. ed replying to the shots from the Brit ish cruiser,
 When the liner had been silenced, the High Flier also stopped firing. By this time the Arucai, which had sep arated from the liner, had gotten too far away to perceive anything more than that she was still burning.
 The Germans kept on board the Kaiser Wilhelm only her officers, her gun crews and a few engineers.

AMERICAN APPLE CROP

LINE UT WONbEhS
 Nobody who has seen the apple orchards of any quarter of the Unit ed States this year will receive with incredulity the 6OOOO,OOO-barrel esti- mate of the crop made by the Inter national Apple Shippers Association. The limbs of the trees are every where bending, in many cases break ing, under the weight of the fruit. Over endless stretches of trolley, steam and wagon road the eye of the traveller is delighted with the sea sons magnificent yield. It is said to be the largest since 1896. From Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, Mis- souri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas come re- ports of 100 per cent increase over the crop of last year, In New Eng land the yield exceeds that of two years ago by so per cent California, Washington, Idaho, Utah, New Mexi- co, Colorado and Montana report a 65 per cent increase. New York has crop again as large as that of 1913 and Canada's increase over last year .is equal to 50 per cent.
 During recent years there has been a steady increasing export demand for American apples. Nobody can fore tell what the condition of the export market may be during the coming fall and iwnter, but if 1t be assumed that the seas shall be opened to commerce it will also be fair to as. sume that apples will constitute a fair share of the volume of traffic In 1911 the mean price for apples in the Unit ed States was 60.7 cents a bushel; in 1912 it fell to 62S cents; in 1913 1t advanced to S5.5 cents Even at the minimum price of the last three years the apple crop of 1914 will contribute immensely to the aggregarte wealth of the nation. It should be the earn. est desire of the American people that affairs shall be so shaped, and speedily, as to permit a generous dis tribution not only of their apple crop but of all their crops throughout the world.-Chrlstian Science Monitor.

JUSTICE LURrows WILL IS VOID

That a Justice of the United States Supreme Court though competent to pass on the constitutlonality of an act of Congress. should not know how to make a will in the District of Colum- bia must seem an anomaly of juris- prudence. Yet when the will of the late Justice Lurton was presented for probate at Washington 1t was found to be void from the absence of the signatures of the two witnesses re- Quired by the laws of the District and was accepted by the Register only as a l'testamentary paper"
 For that matter Samuel J, Tildon did not draw a will that could stand the test of the courts, and generally a profound mastery of the principles of law may fail to include knowl- edge of the statutory provisions essen. tial for the drawing of will which shall be valid foF- probate. Daniel Webster could say that he would be ashamed not to know the law and equally ashamed to know the statute; but for the lawyer engaged in probate practice the statute is the important thing.
 The fact that Justice Lurton's will was entirely in his own handwriting might seem to establish it's validity for all practical purposes. Bue the in. tent of the testator no longer has the standing in court it once had It is the teehanical exactness of the testa. ment that counts, and what would ap- pear to the layman negligible omis- sion or oversight in the matter of a date or a place of residence or cap ability of a witness may upset will concerning the validity of which there is not the slightest moral doubt- New York World
