MURDER CHARGE DROPPED.
Prosecution Admits Evidence
Against BENJAMIN Sternburg Weak.

NEW YORK. June 30.-The indict-
ment against Benjamin Sternburg, ac-
cusing him Of the murder Of Mrs. Elsie
Lee Hilair in the Hotel Martinique
here last March, has been dismissed by
court order. The district attorney
agreed to this step on the ground that
the evidence against him was incon-
elusive.
Mrs. Hairs body was found in her
room. and it was at first thought she
had been strangled by a bath towel
Subsequent investigation failed to sub
stantiate this. Jewelry said to be
worth $4,000. which she wore when she
went to the hotel, was missing when
her body was found. Sternburg admit
ted he was with the woman the day
she met her death. saying they had be-
come acquainted through Irritation.

Bears Enormous Burden.

1.-THE war has placed upon Russia an
enormous. financial burden, amounting
now to $4,000. 100000. Her national debt,
only $4,50o.00o in 1918, has now reached
$40. 600, 100000. Nevertheless. compared to
the country's national wealth and re-
sources, this Is much lower than the debt
Of other belligerents. The government
is at present drawing up an approximate
estimate Of the valuation which will
doubtless exceed all expectations
Since the unsuccessful Russo-Japanese
war Russia has been steadily developing
her economic and financial resources.
During the next decade Russia's wealth
more than doubled. You can imagine what
the development will be when poyer and
authority have passed to the people and
the most powerful principle Of efficiency
the principle Of democracy-is estab-
liShed."

Help Needed Before August.

DIR. Harrison ]. Hunt, the surgeon OF
the expedition, who a few days ago
came back to this country, after a
over the ice of. Melville bay. reported
that unless help were sent his com
panions would be in dire extremity by
August l. The scant supplies We're even
then being rationed out to them. After
midsummer they will be obliged to sub
SIS. as pest they can upon the country
and after the manner of the Eskimos
Walrus meat and caribou may possibly
be obtained, but they will be dependent
largely upon the fortunes of the chase
Dr. Hunt says that unless help is sent
he fears fatality.
It's way to Etah-the base of the
Crocker Land expedition-is vessel
especially we'll equipped for such a
mission THE Queen of the Sealing
Fleet as she is called. is one of the
stoutest vessels afoat. and her stout
ribs may well withstand the pressure
of the polar pack
IN addition to her regular stores she
is carrying eight tons of food for the
use of the Croker Land party.
r. Henry Fairfield Osborn. president
OF the American Museum of Natural
History and chairman of the honorary
committee of the expedition, said the
other day that he considered the sci
entihc results obtained by the expe-
dition fully justified it's enormous cost.

public would aid the institutions con-
cerned in bearing the expense George

confident that. barring accidents. the

SEES REGENERATION
OF RUSSIAN FINANCE
NJ. Novitsky Believes Industries
Will Thrive Under Economic De-
velopment Following War.

The complete misleading and re-
juvenation of Russian industry and
finance was predicted yesterday by NJ. No
whisky, financial head Of the Russian
mission
Russia" Mr.. Novitsky said, "is fac
ing a new era of economic development,
and there is no doubt that the United
States may share largely in that de-
ve1opment
'"The United States, with a surplus
capital and with a steadily increasing
industrial production, requires the i'm
mensely large Russian market as an
outlet for it's trade and investment.
The industry restrained by the old re-
gime, by prohibitory and selfish legis-
lation, will now be able to expand free
ly and attain it's fullest development.

Character of Neptune Manifest.

How many are demands of civiliza-
tion is shown in the manifest of the
Neptune. The supplies which she is
taking north include hundreds of items
With some of the stores in the hold
are 1000 pounds of pork, FIVE barrels
OF sugar, FIVE crates of yellow meal,
four cases of oatmeal. five cases of
sliced pineapple. two cases of eyap-
GRATED apples, two cases Of evaporated
peaches, $50 pounds Of butter and a
keg of sour pickles.
Gehydrated vegetables are especial
ly useful in the farthest north, and in
the stores are bone-dry spinach, car
rots and such material. The solace
OF nicotine is thoroughly appreciated
in the land of arctic nights. and, there
fore: in the consignment may be found
smoking tobacco. cigars. cigarettes
and corncob pipes.
In order to keep up amicable rela-
tions with the Eskimos. candies. ieI-
lies and other sweets are found useful,
and. for the purposes of exchange,
combs. buttons. scissors and the like
are held in high esteem.
The children of the SHOWS are also
exceedingly fond of music. and that is
the reason that there are found in
the cargo of the Neptune several
monographs with records bearing the
iiveliest of popular airs.

NEPTUNE READY TO SAIL
FOR THE FROZEN NORTH
Will Make Third Attempt to Rescue
Members of Croker Expedition,
Marooned in Arctic.

NEW YORK, June 30.-The steam
sealing vessel Neptune is ready today
to leave st. Johns. Newfoundland, to
to civilization the members of the
Croker Land expedition, marooned in
the Arctic. Capt Robert A. Bartlett.
who accompanied Rear Admiral Peary
to the Arctic. regarded as one of the
most skillful of navigators of the frozen
regions of the north, is in command of
the Neptune.
The departure of thiS-the third re-
lief vessel to be sent to the rescue of the
Croker Land eXpedition-marks one of
the most costly enterprises of explora-
ton. Two other vessels. the George B.
Cluett and the Denmark, made ineffec-
tual attempts to bring back the ex-
plorerS who four years ago went in
quest of the mysterious Crocker Land.
which Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary
believed he had seen in 1906. The ex-
petition was sent out under the joint
auspices of the American Museum of
Natural History. the American Geo
graphical Society and the University of
Illinois. under the leadership of Donald
=. Macmillan. What appeared to the
was declared by Mr.. Macmillan to be
merely mirage, and the party has
looked for Croker Land IN vain.
The Macmillan party. meanwhile. has
been conducting explorations on it's own
account. and has discovered six new is
tensive deposits of coal and other
minerals and has gathered together a
vast store of scientific knowledge. These
scientists are proceeding with their

The Chicken Business

The chicken business is no place for the
unframed or unread man or woman. It's
simple but there's lots to know and wrong
path leads surely to disaster. Little use to
seta hundred eggs, hatch fifty, raise twenty,
have these grow up unthrifty and the hens
lay perhaps fifty eggs year.
The Lee Library OF five booklets was writ
ten by an expert of thirty years experience
in poultry work. 1t tells about Lees foods,
insecticides and remedies-true; but it is
more than an "ad." 1t points out the stun-
bling blocks, the little pitfalls that cause so
many failures with poultry.
We show how eggs can be made 90 per
cent fertile; 90 per cent or better hatched;
90 per cent of these raised; every normal
hen made to lay fifteen eggs per month
every month in the year, and summer eggs
preserved absolutely fresh for winter sale
or use; then there's big money in chickens.
