CROSBY IS SOUGHT
| FOR ARCTIC VOYAGE
Macmillan Wants Wireless Opera
tor to Accompany Him North

John 7. Crosby, OF bS4 Stanley
street. one OF the foremost in the ra-
do line in this city, yesterday had a
conference with Donald Macmillan,
the Arctic explorer, in Windsor Locks
regarding the next trip to the Arctic
on which Crosby was recommended as
wireless operator.
Mr.. Crosby was recommended by
the American Radio Relay league to
serve as operator on the voyage. He
got in touch with Mr.. Macmillan who
interviewed him yesterday regarding
previous experience and ability. Mr..
Crosby measured up TO requirements
and was asked il he could report at
Booths Bay, Maine, on May IS, in or
der to make preparations for the dash
to the Arctic,
Mr. Crosby said this afternoon: u
said | could get there by May Is. but
didn't say | would" When asked
his reasons for not wishing to go, he
said. ITS too cold. If yesterday had
been a sweltering hot day, | probably
would have signed up at once, but II
wasn't" Later he said that he felt
trip to the Arctic which Mr.. Mac
MILAN said would probably take up
two years would put him back in
stead of forward. He said that he
would not be able to keep up with
wireless work and that he would have
to miss great many of the improve
ments that are being developed every
day.
"However, / may change my mind
yet" he said.
The Macmillan expedition will prob
ably start about June IS. The party
will go to within 10 degrees of the
pole and engage in research. 1t is
the expectation of the explorer to
keep in weekly communication with
the United States, if atmospheric con-
ditions favor it. That is why an OPP
orator will be needed.

Conversation Giro ulation"

IN the days when Conversation
Circulation" statements were the
basis on which the advertiser
bought space, the advertising
solicitor who put up his story in
the most pleasing manner general
~ got the business.
In case the advertiser questioned
the figures he might possibly go
to the newspaper office and look
over the circulation records with
his own auditors. But neither he
nor his auditors know the intrica-
cies of newspaper circulation rec
ords or the possibilities for Jug
Cling figures.
Circulation differences and argu-
ments caused bitter battles be-
tween many newspapers. 1ngen-
ious schemes were used by un-
scrupulous publishers to put up the
appearance of a larger circulation
than they had. The prevalence of
these practices brought out the
necessity for a reputable agency to
audit and report on circulation
matters.

pressing business. l do not know why
men who are keen in business, who

who should be somewhat experienced
in matters of investment insist on
buying promotion stocks.
Di: Chances to Lose.
"a recent investigation made by my
associates shows that eighty out of
every hundred concerns go through
at least one reorganization. This
means a loss and possibly an assess
ment for all stockholders. The man
who buys promotion Stocks--the
stocks OF concerns not yet esta blished
on ii paying basiS--therefore has
eight chances out of ten to lose, but
two chances out of ten to maintain
his equity and less than half that to

Recently Pauline Gilden instituted
injunction proceedings which were
sustained under the ruling OF Judge
Duffy. The injunction petition sought
TO restrain the Lafayette Permanent
Building Association, Emanuel Fried
and Harry Goldman, from foreclosing
mortgages on the property at 1921
North Fulton avenue. The defendants
had lent $4.SS0 on three mortgages to
tho Mutual Realty Association and DR..
Charles ii. Burbert.
Counsel for the defendants main
tanned that the contract of sale OF
Mrs. Gilden to the Mutual Realty AS
sociation should have been placed on
record in the superior court. Their
demurrer was that because there was
no record of the transaction they had
no notice of Mrs. Gilden's rights to
the property.
Judge Duffy overruled the dcmur-
rers of the building association, Fried
and Goldman, sustaining the petition
of Mrs. Gilden for an injunction re-
straining the foreclosures. Possess

kill them. He told the chiefs that
they would accept their proposition
and Immediately the exchange was
made, the Indians bringing up an
equal number of their WORKOUT pom
les in exchange for the fresh horses.
Poker Joe then turned and gave a
command and the squaws, who had
packed up in the meantime, imme-
diately started up the trail. In the
confusion two of the men did not
wait to mount the horses but started
off through the brush and escaped
unnoticed. The rest of the party
mounted upon the Indian ponies and
started back on the trail. They had
proceeded perhaps mile and a half
when they heard war-whoops behind
them and Immediately about seventy
five young Indians, none of whom
were over twenty-five years of age,
rode up to them and stated that they
were going to take them back with
them. Immediately two Indians left
the party and rode back in the dir
ection in which the main party had
gone. The rest of the Indians sur
rounded the Cowan party and began
to parley among themselves. Cowan
was satisfied at this time that the end
was not far off and believed that the
two Indians who had left the party

had been sent back in order to make
sure that the main party was far

would not be heard by them.
Cowan is Wounded
After waiting perhaps a couple of
hours the Indians started toward the
main command. They soon passed
the place where they had camped for
noon and had proceeded perhaps a
mile beyond. At this point the trail
turned up a very steep mountain and
when about half way up they met the
two Indians returning They had
been riding down the trail at very
rapid rate and upon seeing the party
had thrown their horses back upon
their launches. The party halted
and one of the Indians Immediately
leveled his rifle at Cowan and fired.
The ball broke his right leg about
half way between the knee and the
hip He did not fall from the horse
and the other Indian raised his rifle.
Seeing that he was about to fire,
Cowan threw himself from his horse
and striking upon his broken leg he
rolled down the hill for
a distance of perhaps twenty-five or
thirty yards, being stopped by a fall
len tree.

was his wife was at his side with one
