Macmillan Party Is Safe at

Surgeon of Croker Land Expedition Cables from
Farce Islands After 1,5OO-Mile Sledge Journey
That Leader and Members Of Party Reach Base

mittee in charge of the expedition, left
New York in 1915 to carry aid to Mr.
Macmillan. He was in charge Of the
steamer George B. Cluett, chartered
from the Grenfell Association.
Ice Blocks Relief Ship
"The Cluett reached North Star Bay
in September, 1915, but owing to the
formation Of ice could not proceed
further north. In this emergency DR.
Hovey proceeded by motor launch l5O
miles to the headquarters of the expe-
dition at Etah. Three members of the
Croker Land xpedtion-Ensign Fitz-
hugh Green, Jerome Allen and Maurice
Tanquary-were brought back TO the
Cluett. They managed to reach Hol-
stenberg, and there took ship to Copen-
hagen. Dr.. Hovey remained with the
Croker Land party.
an January, 1916. owing to short
age of provisions, DR.. Hovey and three
OF his companions left the ship and be.

Melville Bay TO South Greenland in al
endeavor to send out news of the party
and secure a relief ship. DR.. hVsey
collapsed from exposure, but the other;
reached civilization and appealed foi
help. In response the steamer Dan
mark was chartered and dispatched to
North Greenland She was reported
on April 20. 1916. as buffeting the ice
OF Melville Bay. The Cluett, which haC
been repaired, reached st. Johns last
September. She brought letter from
Dr. Hovey, which told of the welfare
of Macmillan and party up to and pre-
ceding July.
ut now appears from DR.. Hunts dis
patch that the Danmark has reached
North Star Bay-l50 miles from the
base and within easy sledging distance
of expedition quarters. The committee
in charge here Immediately cabled tC
DR.. Hunt, asking the condition of the
Danmark and if it would be possible
for her to bring the party out Of the
Arctic.
May Send Third Ship
"As announced on May %. the com.
mittee has arranged TO send North {
third relief vessel-the Neptune, under
command OF Captain Robert A. Bart
lett. Pending the receipt of further
news from DR.. Hunt. no decision ha:
been reached as to whether or not the
Neptune will be dispatched in accord
ance with the original plan. IL is en-
tirely probable. however. that in spite
of the fact that the Danmark has been
located the Neptune will still be re
tanned in the service of the commit
tee"
The Neptune would cost $4,000 g

II. Sherwood, acting chairman Of tn,

would require at least two months tc

party, and the cost would be at least

Bankruptcy Case
Halted by Arrest
OF Two Brothers
Frederick H. and Henry C.
Clarke Charged with U.s.
ing Mails to Defraud

Frederick II. Clarke, a lawyer who
was accused in 1913 of writing "Black
Hand" letter to Irving v. Childs, a
client, in order to obtain large be-
quests, was arrested yesterday in New
ark on a Federal warrant charging
fraudulent use of the mails. The ar
rest was made at bankruptcy hearing
in the case Of the Kent Motors Com
pany, of which Clarke was president
DR.. Henry c. Clarke, treasurer OF the
company, and the presidents father,
seventy-three years old, also was ar
rested. The two men were held IN
$500 bail each for the grand jury.
The prisoners are said to have circu-
lated statements in 1916 that the COM
pany owned sixteen acres in Newark
with an automobile factory in course Of
construction. The charge states that
they, on these false assertions, OBJ
tanned $4,000 for stock from the pub
lie.
According to Archibald Palmer, Of
800 Broadway, attorney for the New
York creditors, many men whom DR..
Clarke and his son met in social way
were persuaded TO let their names be
used as directors. In this way, he said,
they got the name Of 7. L. Raymond,
Mayor of Newark, on their letterheads
as a director.
Two petitions in bankruptcy were
filed against the company on Friday,
and Charles NJ. Mason, referee, was,
conducting a hearing when the United
States marshal entered. Creditors had
alleged that the plant consisted of two
wooden shacks, used for assembling au.
tomobiles. and could not be described
as a factory.
DR.. Clarke was on the stand when ar.
rested. He testified that the company
was incorporated first in New YORK
where its office was at 1904 Broadway
then in Delaware, and finally in New
Jersey. At the time the Delaware cor
poration was formed, he added, ht
didn't have 500 TO his name, but wa:
awarded $4,000 in stock OF the COM
pany.
At first he said that the company hac
manufactured sixteen cars in its PLAN
on the outskirts of Newark, but later
admitted that ten of the cars merely
had been assembled there. He insisted
that the liabilities of the company were
less than $1,000.
In special dispatch" printed in q
New York newspaper last November, II
was said that production would start
about February; that approximately
1000 men would be employed; that the
weekly payroll would average" $40,
600; that the capacity of the plant will
be 10000 cars the first year." and that
there were 100000 shares of stock OF
the par value of $40 each.
The accusations against Frederick II
Clarke in the Childs matter never got
beyond the District Attorneys Office,
but the lawyer agreed with the Surro-
gate to abandon all attempts to obtain
$4,000 bequeathed to him in Mr..
Childs's will and to retire as executor.

DR.. Harrison j. Hunt, surgeon OF the
Donald B. Macmillan expedition which
was dispatched on July 2, 1913, to sur
vey territory reported by Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary and known as Croker
Land, communicated with officials OF
the American Museum of Natural HIS
tory yesterday from Thorshaven, Farce
Islands. He had reached this point
after sledge journey OF more than
fifteen hundred miles over the ice OF
Melville Bay to Holstenberg, where ne
boarded a steamer.
The message, containing the first in
formation of the expeditions welfare
received since it was last heard Of in
July, 1916, indicated that Macmillan
with his fellow explorers, Hovey, Co.
mer and Small, are safe at Etah, on the
northwest coast of Greenland. Ekblaw
another of the party, is at Godhavn
half way down the Greenland coast, to
which point he accompanied Hunt IN the
latter's journey to civilization.

Museum committee in charge of the
expedition was as follows:

York.

Danmark. North Star Bay.
Ekblaw, Godhavn.
Hunt, Hans. Egade.
Arrange credit passport Copenhagen

The message was interpreted in the
following statement issued by the

ton; DR.. Edmund Otis Hovey, curator
Of geology in the American museum
and head Of the relief expedition; Cap
tain George r. Conner, the ice pilot

ploring the supposed Croker Land

NEW MEN IN CONTROL
HOOKER LIMESTONE PLANT
Memphis Owners Sell to Parties
Who Will Change the
Product.

The long idle plant of the Hooker
Limestone company, some thirteen
miles out on the N, c. Il st. l.. to-
wards Nashville will shortly resume
activity and give employment to
from thirty to fifty men, having been
acquired by new organization to be
known as the Hooker Crushed Stone
company.
For the present the new company
will confne itself to the production
of crushed limestone for the building
trade and the preparation of still finer
stone for agricultural purposes, to be
used on sour land. The demand for
these products is reported to be ex-
cellent and for the time being the
production will be confined to them,
though it is planned as the project
goes on to engage in the manufac-
ture of hydraled lime, which will re-
quire the addition of extensive equip.
ment.
At present there is about $4,000
represented in the plant.
Ten thousand dollars will be immedi-
ately expended in Improvement and
in bringing the machinery up-to-
date.
The plant has been acquired from
its Memphis owners by P. O.! Sor-
renson and L. w. Frierson. Mr..
Frierson is from Nashville and will
have charge of operations at the
plant. Mr.. Sorrenson will take care
IF the sales end, having had some
years of experience with the Fritz

sing no sot with eyes blood-shot,
Sing not the staggering throng,
| sing the song of the ginless sot,
The wlneless drunkard's song;
The man who drinks the air as wine,
Who quaffs with thirsty eye
The dazzle of the tumbling brine,
The glamour of the sky;
The man whom sunlight makes slate,
Who loves the storm winds strife;
sing the strong inebrlate
Drunk with the wine of life
Fair dreams his sane delirium throng;
Hear We the wineess drunkard's song.
The wineless drunkard drinks the mirth
And music of the morn,
And hears the glad voice of the earth
Speak in the nesting corn;
He drinks the whiffs from off the meads,
The spray from sailed peas,
The fragrance blown from waving reeds
And blossomed apple trees.
From many lily -bordered Drinks,
Where summer riyulets stray
The gladness of the earth he drinks,
The freshness of the day;
He drinks, and life grows talr and strong;
Hear We the wneless drunkards song.
The incense that the meadow yields
Within his brain is wrought,
The business of the tang led fields
Is blooming in his thought;
The inland songs of murmurous brooks
Along their reedy brinks
The babbling strains from blossomed hooks
OF tipsy bobonks;
The breaths that float from bloom and brake,
The songs from vale and knoll,
Surge in upon his dreams and make
A summer in his soul.
And lofty in his joy and strong;
Hear We the wineless drunkard's song.
And when the flower bells are curled
Within their dewy rest,
The spirit of the darkllng world
Pervades his peusive breast.
His spirit drinks the peace that lies
On lakes beneath the moon
Outspread beneath the midnight skies,
Fringed with the wealth of June;
Deep doth the eternal silence press
Around our eremite,
His soul bathes in the quietness
And mystery of the night;
And deep his spirit broods and long
Hear We the wineless drunkards song
