 The action of the newly created license committee of the state com mission in granting q license to Kill bane amounted to restoring in this state recognition to the Clevelander as worlds tltleholder in the 126- pound division. Though he was not officially under local Jurisdiction, William Muldoon, chairman of the commission, declared Kilbane's title vacated here nearly year ago after the latter ignored Dundee's challenge for title bout. Dundee was de- clared the featherweight champion when he defeated Sammy Frush, an Englishman, at Ebbets Field.

HOPE IF PEARy IS NEAR REALIZATION
Noted Explorer First Sought To Have Navy Make
 Dash To Pole

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-The decision of President Coolidge to have the navy undertake a north pole expedition is the realization of the highest hope and last wish of the late Rear Ad- miral Robert E. Peary, discoNerer of the pole, Henry Woodhouse, aviation magazine editor, declared today in revtving a memorandum, embodying the wish, sent by Peary to the As- sociated Press December 22, 1916.
 The attempt to explore the central polar regions and to circumnavigate the globe by crossing the north pole, which is to be made next sumner, it was stated, was Peary's great hope in 1916. when Roald Amundsen, discov- erer of the south pole, and Lieuten- ant Commander Robert A. Bartlett, navigator on Peary's northern trip, planned to lead separate expeditions.
 "Peary," the 1916 memorandum read, "cails attention to the fact that these expeditions under the com mand of two of the most famous and experienced living polar navigators, present possibilities of great impor- tance. If the work of the airp1anes is satisfactory, and 1t Is felt that 1t will be, 1t nay lead to the circum- navigation of the globe via the two poles by chip and airplane. as pre- dioted by Peary at the explorers club a few years ago"
 The memorandum expressed the hope that an Antarctic expedition b1 attempted after the completion of the trip to the north.
 Pe2rys wish will be realized next summer, it is said. Amundsen will attempt to cross the pole with three planes, one of which will be piloted by Lieut.. Ralph B. Davidson of the American navy. Bartlett will par ticipate In the navy attempt which will be made independently either by andoah

 On the slope up to the ridge above Lens there. still remain the German trenches, jumbled mounds of white chalk gleaming through the rank weeds, trenches with crumbled-in sides, here and there a concrete gun emplacements and half-hlled tunnels leading sharply down into the Ger man dugouts.

 Here is the line of trench from which the London Irish emerged kicking their football before them there is the spot where a batch of our guns was car'ght horribly; yon- der is the flat over which I saw the guards advance steadily as on parade and carefully dressing the line as they moved while the shells scream ed up and crashed down among them.

NE w CLUES IN FAMOUS MURDERS

(Copyright 1923. United States and Can
 ada, By North American Newspaper
 Alliance.)
 NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-After study ing a photograph of Mrs. Edward Wheeler Hall and the handwriting of James Mills, whose wifes dead body was found beside that of Mrs. Halls husband near Brunswick, N. J.. in September, 1922, Rafael Schermann, Polish psychographoligis declared with emphasis that neither Mrs. Hall nor Mills had guilty knowledge of the double murder.
 MT. Schermann whose peculiar abil- ity, or gift, as he calls 1t, has been demonstrated on & number of occa- sions since his arrival In this coun- try, gave a private reading yesterday on both the Hall and Joseph Brown EIwell murder cases by arrangement with the North American Newspaper Alliance and the New York World. He saw, for the first time, he said, a photograph of Elwell and deduced therefrom that the man would meet & violent death at the hands of sub- normal person."
 Mrs. Hall Innocent.
 When shown a photograph of Mrs. Hall, whose husband was rector of an Episcopal church in New Brunswick, k, and was alleged to have had & love affair with MrS. MlllS, Henper ol his choir, MT. Schermann studied the picture about 30 seconds then said quickly: "She didn't do it. She is resolute and has the temper of a tigeress. She and her husband had many quarre1s about other women. They had been quarreling for years. In a way this wife was neglected by her husabnd and it made her both angry and unhappy. She has today the blood of a girl of 21, but she neither killed her husband nor had any knowledge of his death.
 With a sample of MT. Mills hand writing before him MT. Schermann said: He knows nothing of the crime, that is had no guilty knowledge but he was under terrible strain when he wrote this Cit was written IS days after the bodies were found) and and doubted if he could establish an alibl because appearances were against him.

 Comment On ElweH Case,
 In both the Hall and Elweu cases Mir. Sohermann deduced from photo graphs and handwriting much that cannot be published but from which it is hoped lead will be found that will develop solution of the crimes. He had previously seen Elwell's hand writing but never his picture, he said, Yesterday he was furnished with photographs only and was not given the names. After the study of the pictures he said: This man is con- ceited. His chief concern Is his per sonal appearance. He is a gambler and has equally bad or worse habits. He curses himself for getting into a bad way of living and decides to change his habits, but is unable to do so. His friends drag him back. He gets too little sleep and is constantly seeking new intimates-men and women. With him it is always wom- en, women, women. He spends his whole income in clothes, women and on men. He seeks others who have certain of his habits and those who do. recognize him at once as one of their own kind. He has toyed with the idea of suicide, but really fears violent death. I see for him a very tragic end within two years after the photograph was taken. He will be murdered-yes, killed by a perverted man. I think he drinks and admits all sorts Of persons to his apartment .''
