EXPEDITION SEEK !. :.
ING INDIAN LORE.

Cooperstown, N. Y, May Isl.
Fennimore Cooper wrote ''The Last
of the Mohicans," but it wasn't the
last. Armed with spade and pickaX,
Professor Warren X. Moorhead, of
Phillips Andover academy and his
IeXpedition, started out today to
learn more about the Mohicans than
Cooper ever wrote. The party, which
includes Alanson Skinner, formerly
OF the American Museum of Natural
History of New York and now of the
George Hay Museum of American
Indians; Ernest O. Sudgen Of Orlan d,
Me-, and several others left today to
Iexanine the shores of Lake Ostego,
where the Indians of Cooper lived
centuries ago.
The party plans to go down the
Susquehanna river in light skiffs, ex-
ploring the banks and adjoining
fields which were at one time the
hunting grounds of the Mohicans.
The expedition will work up the
tributaries of the Susquehanna, in
Guiding the Unadilla river which is
rich in Indian lore.
Professor Moorhead is certain that
his expedition will uncover new In
dian lore and that many facts valu-
able to the history of the American
Indian will be learned.

SHOOTING RAPIDS
Luverne Chapman, Freshman a
State University, Victim Of Ac-
cident in Iowa River.

Iowa City, Ia, May 15.-Luverne
Chapman, freshman student in the
college of liberal arts of the State
university was drowned yesterday in
Iowa river, two miles north of here.
In company with Orion Kirsch-
man, another student, Chapman had
been shooting the rapids below the
dam, opposite Coraville. The two
had padded up the river and had
made the trip down the stream.
On the second trip they padded
along the eastern shore and were
drifting down the river when the
fatal accident occurred.
On the rocks, short distance be-
low the dam, the waters suddenly
commenced to roll and the two stu
dents got out of the canoe.
Kirschman proceeded to the shore,
while Chapman attempted to pull
the canoe after him. Tossed about
by the rolling waters, the canoe sud-
!. Z
denly shot out toward the middle Of
the stream.
According to Frank Hemphill,
who witnessed the accident, Chap
man endeavored to draw the canoe
from the rapids. He suddenly lost
his balance on the sharp rocks,
Hemphill said, and was swept under
the dam.
Efforts were made to recover
Chapman's body, but without re-
suit. The stage in the river is ex-
ceedingly high at that point.
Chapman's home is at Waterloo.
His parents were notified of the ac-

NILE AIR TRIP

Los Angeles, CAL, May 1.-Two
thousand feet over Niger Slough
near here today, two men waved
adieu to a neck craning throng and
headed east toward the Sierra Ma
Dire mountains in an aeroplane.
Their destination was New York.
H1oscar Brindley, veteran air pilot.
and A. ]. Macy, inventor, settled
back in their seats, to let tie first
self balancing plane in America fly
them from the Pacific to the Allan
tic. The two men plan to cover near
ly 1000 miles, ending their ride at
Mineola, L. l., next Sunday. Just six
days. Macy, a Chicago electrical en-
gineer, by the cross continent flight
plans to demonstrate to the govern
ment of France, England and United
States, a mechanism of his own IN
ventiOn which will balance an aero
plane perfectly. The pilot has but
to steer the plane in the desired di-
.rection-.up or down, to left or right.
then relax and let the automatic
equilibrium device keep the plane on
a flying keel. Neither Macy or
Brindley make any exaggerated
claims for the device. Nothing
could be fairer test than the flight
from Los Angeles to New York in
six days" they say. The plane is a
hundred horse power Martin tractor
of the military type; specially equip
ped for the trip. The route taken
will be via Salt Lake City, Denver,
Omaha, st. Louis, Chicago and New

SUFFRAG|STS DE-
SCEND ON CONGRESS

Washington, May -1G.-A spectac-
ular parade and demonstration were
staged this afternoon as women,
Congressional Union delegates who
have traversed the country on the
Suffrage Special presented their pc
titions to Congress. The petitions
were from the women of the en-
franchised states asking suffrage for
the entire Union. Three hundred
school girls dressed in white, bear
ing La Tosce stats roped together
with purple, white and gold stream
ers formed aisles up the broad, i'm
pressive steps of the Capitol as the
delegates marched in with their pc
titions. Later, members of Congress
mingled with the delegates in front
of the Capitol in final demonstra-
ton. Earlier in the day the dele
gates from the Suffrage Special trip
had made reports. So great had
been the effect of the trip and the
impression ION politicians, delegates
said, that they hoped the proposed
Womens Party, with suffrage its
sole plank, would not have to be
formed.

ance of the world would eventually
come in and a long step would be
taken in the interest of continuous
world peace. 1t is one of the great
lproblems of the century, possibly the
greatest now before the world.
Judge Kamrar says that he was sur
prised at some of the things disclos-
ed by the various speakers. Many
disputes have been settled between
the United States and other coun-
tries by arbitration, of which the
public know little, and the sentiment
seemed to prevail among the dele
gates present that some plan would
be worked out to bring the nations
into closer relations and result in
fewer wars. Ex-President Taft wasl
among the speakers and his address
was illuminating and instructive.
Ex-secretary Shaw was also on the
program. a
Judge Kamrar stopped off in
Washington for a few days stay. He
met Senators Kenyon and Cummins
and dined with the Iowa delegation.
He says Iowa stands high in Wash
ington. The Judge also had the
pleasure of meeting President Will
son, Joe Cannon, House Leader
Mann, Vice President Marshall and
many other notables. He heard the
discussions in congress over the rur-
al credits bill and good roads legisla-
ton. Some of the Iowa delegation
told Mr.. Kamrar that the rural cred
it's bill was very apt to become a law,
but that it is not what Iowa wants.
The delegation from this state will
support it, because it is the best
thing they can get at this time, but
it will be Disappointment to farm
ers of the state who have been ad-
vocating such a law for some time.
The judge says the south domin-
ates all legislation. The northern
democrats are eheld in line by the
secret caucus and made to support
he democratic program whether
hey like it or not.

STEAMSHIP COM
P Al! RESTORES !! OR! (! FLAG !! !!!!

New York, May 16.--At a special
meeting Of the stockholders of the
iresuscitated Pacific Mail Steamship
Company here today, it was expected
that an increase in the capital stock
will be authorized, making the
amount $4,oO0,Oo0 instead of ST.
900, O0O..
New money is to be provided to
|pay for three vessels recently pur-
chased. This insures the restoration
Of the American flag to the Trans
Pacific service. The offer has been
|underwritten. without a commission,
by the American International Cor
poration and w. R. Grace & Co. The
old Pacific Mail Steamship Company
was in the process Of liquidation,
following the enactment of the La
Toilette seamen's law, when the
Southern Pacine's Controlling inter-
est was acquired BY the American
International Corporation and w. R.
Grace'& Co.
The five largest vessels had al
ready been sold to the International
Mercantile Marine Company, but
seven coastwise vessels, the largest
of $500 tons displacement, were
transferred to the new interests.
They own much Pacific Mail stock,
bought in the open market after the
reduction in capitalization from
$40, 100000 to $1,OO0.O0O, and are
understood to own now about Is per
cent of the stock. Three new ves-
sells, the Venezuela, Columbia and
Ecuador, built in Holland last year,
have recently been purchased from
the Royal Dutch West India Mail
Line, to be put into service on the
Pacific, running from San Francisco
to Japan, China, and the Philip
pines, thus restoring the American
flag to transpacific service. For the
twelve months ended with February
total earnings of the Pacific Mail
were $1,GG4,936, and profits $371,-
ass, against $271,264 earned last
year. G. ]. Baldwin, president, says
revenues from the Panama line dur
ing the ensuing twelve months
should exceed the earnings of last
year and that the net revenue from
the three new steamers should eX-
coed the total net revenue from the
balance of the fleet in the current
fiscal year. The American Interna-
tional Corporation is thought to own
what amounts to a controlling inter-
est in the International Mercantile
Marine, having acquired, according
to report, 80 per cent, of the stock
in the open market in the last few
weeks
