EXPLORER MACMILLAN ASSERTS
PLACE DOES NOT EXIST.
Returning Home From Years Stay In
Polar Regions Contends that Mir
age Deceived Peary's Party.

Sydney, N. s., Aug. 2s.-Donald
MacMillan's Arctic exploration expe-
dltion has arrived on the relief steam
er Neptune after four years spent in
the polar regions. He was one of
Rear Admiral Peary's lieutenants on
his successful dash for the North pole.
Macmillan confirmed previous dis
patches from him that there was no
Crockerland such as had been report
ed by Peary. Peary's mistake was
due TO a mirage so real that the Mac
MILAN party had been deceived by it
for four days, he said.
Prolific Source of Dispute.
The first objective of the Macmillan
expedition, which was organized under
the auspices of the American Museum
Natural History and the American
Geographical society, with the cooper
alton of the University of Illinois, was
prove or disprove the existence of
Peary's Crockerland, which has been
prolific source of dispute among ge-
ographers and scientists. The next
purpose of the expedition was to con-
duct a survey of the Greenland ice
cap.

In my answer TO the sixth question
In The Evening World series i showed
why the railroad in all cases IL able
to give good title TO the city for the
property which II purposes to trans
fer as part of the west side settlement.
/ stated the principles OF law involved
in the present question but i did not
take the space required for stating my
judicial authorities as they have been
reported to me by the Corporation
! Counsel.
Before I give the court decisions
let me restate the legal principles. In
seventy deeds by which land Is con-
veyed to the railroad there are lause
which would make It appear to the
lay mind that the lands involved had
been conveyed by the original owners
to the railroad for railroad purposes
and for railroad purposes only. Tho
assumption Is natural that such
clauses restrict the railroad from Civ
ing title to a third party who has no
desire to use the land TO- railroad
purposes. The fact is, however, that
such clauses are held not to be con-
ditlons which prevent any future pur-
chaser from acquiring good title. The
reason why this Is so is very simple.
CD, n ,I.atua In . Hood Ia hold IN no
in the nature OF a covenant between
the original owner and the railroad.
| Should tho railroad fail to live up to
the covenant the original owner has
the right to go to court and attempt
TO show that damages should be paid

Let me give an example. Suppose
I sell a piece OF land to YOU and spec

city but against the railroad, which

Clauses similar IN language TO
those contained in deeds held by the
New York Central have been passed
upon by the courts. Let me refer to
the case given on page AS OF the
twenty-fourth volume OF Huns re-
ports, fourth department. known as
"Kennoy VS.. Wallace" In this case
II vas held that a deed p%urportlng TO

Later you decide that II would be
more profitable for you to use the
case the land will not come back to
me, but l may go to court and at
tempt to show that a farm works
more to my disadvantage than golf
links, and claim damages accord
inRly.
Now make another suppositlon-
that you, after having used the land
as golf links sell II to a third person,
who uses II for n farm. In that case
also I may bring n suit for damages
against you, but l rave no case against

case. the city is in the position OF the

NV Information from the Corpora
ton Counsel Is that the general course
OF decisions has been In line with
that given In the case OF Konncy vs..

TO refer TO them further. They leave
no doubt that the so-oslled "roverter
