GET YOUR OWN BABY
IN BROOKLYN HOSPITAL
Fooiproof System of Identi-
ficatior Installed.

No baby born in the Brooklyn Hospital
or in the Long Island College Hospital
will have a chance to start life under a
mistaken identity. A new system of
identifying new born babies has been in
uoduced in these institutions which the
hospital authorities believe to be as
nearly foolproof as any system can be.
The system was originated by DIR.
III. J. Morgenthaler of Brooklyn. 1t pro-
vides that the first thing worn by new
baby shall be string of beads. pink or
blue. according to the baby's sex. The
child's name is spelled out upon the
beads, one letter to a bead. The ends
of the string are sealed together so that
the string cannot be removed without
cutting When the mother is ready to
leave the hospital and take the baby
home the beads are removed. An addi-
tional precaution Is taken by placing a
strip of plaster with his name on it on
the baby's wrist.
Fear of having some one else's baby
dealt out to them has kept many women
out Of the maternity wards, the hospital
authorities say.

Explorer Will Start From Bos-

Unseen by White Men.
RARE EGGS TO BE SOUGHT
With Five Men He Will At
tempt North Passage in
Fury and Hecla Straits.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
BOSTON. Dec. 5.--Dr. Donald 3. Mac
MILAN. the exploler, will start from Bos-
ton next July on two year journey 70
the Arctic regions in search OF rare
eggs of polar birds. DIR. Macmillan VIII
perform a great service for ornitholo-
gists IL he is able to discover the greater
and lesser snow goose and the blue
goose. This he expects to accomplish In
Baffin Land
DIR. Macmillan in outlining the pur-
poses Of his latest journey to the Far
North. said that when he sails out OF
Boston in July with only five other men
aboard the eighty foot schooner Bow
doin he will be off for north passage
through Fury and Hecia Straits, not att
tempted for one hundred years. He
proposes in two years to remake the
Arctic map.
'"The possibilities of discovery in this
region are unlimited" he said ''In the
past men have entirely devoted their
time to penetrating it far north. while
the country to the south has been neg
lected."
Dr. Macmillan made the surprising an
nouncement that if his vessel meets any
misfortune he will expect no relief expe-
dltion, but will come back by sled. either
down to the head of Hudson Bay or
across Labrador. He will go under the
auspices of the Macmillan Arctic Expe-
dition, financed by his friends in and
out Of Bowdoin College. and incorpo-
rated in Maine for $4,000. He added:
1--WE shall start from Boston and stop
on the Labrador coast for an ESKIMO
driver and about fifteen dogs. hoping to
get more farther on, but no one knows II
the west coast of Baffin Land is inhabit-
ed There is the largest strip of unex-
plored coast line in the world. 800
miles of it,.
There Is no question that we shall
put new land on the map. There are
more than one hundred square miles or
the interior of Baffin Land that no white
man has ever seen. The natives I've
met say there are two lakes hundred
miles long, open in the summer and Won
derful breeding places for ducks ana
geese.
'The ornithologists expect me to
achieve very valuable results, for we
shall undoubtedly find in Baffin Land
the greater and lesser snow goose and
the blue goose.
'"Then there is extremely vital work
to be done in geology. for scientists de-
clare that anything we can bring will be
like pure gold to them in substantiating
their theory as to the time. when the
Arctic Ocean flowed down into the inte-
rior OF the North American continent.
"As to chronological possibilities-here
is another great field of research. The
natives who may be found should be an
intermediate link between the polar ma
tives and the EslSimos of North Aner:ca

ARpMoRE, Okla, Dec. 5.-While hun
dreds of points are being watched in
the search for Clara Smith Hamon.
charged with firing the bullet that caused
the death Of Jake L. Hamon, there is
pronounced sentiment here against
further action in the case.
Ardmore and no small part OF the
State of Oklahoma at large. desire that
there be no prosecution of Clara Smith
Hamon.
So far as can be found or heard there
is no demand or even a request for the
prosecution of the woman. One public
official expressed what appears to be
the sentiment of the majority OF the
people here when he said: Nobody wants
to And Clara Smith except the County
Attorney" Evidence of such sentiment
finds much support in the number OF
unsigned letters to Russell Brown,
County Attorney, condemning him fof
pressing the hunt for the woman.
The mon here say that twelve men
never will be found who will convict
Clara Smith. They point to the never
changing statement of Jake Hamon,
made even on his death bed, that he had
shot himself.
II guess the letters I have received
would fill a large waste basket" COM
mented Russell Brown, "but am doing
my duty as ! see it,
With the search becoming more ex-
tensiye every hour, there are reports
that the woman is right here In Ard
more. Such reports are not from one,
but numerous persons. Sheriff Buck
Garrett is of the opinion that she may
be in Chicago. as she often had visited
there.
And all the time the search Is going
forward Ardmore, or most OF it, at least,
wonders why Clara Smith does not come
ON in.
