That Hupmobile has kept its mind-6rst, last and all

Engineers are saying now that the only eight which

The reason why this is true is the precise reason

WAS IT MURDER?

Much excitement was caused near
Fourth and Baker Streets last Sunday
evening, when it was reported that
Stephen Clark, of 908 North Fourth
Street, had been killed with an axe
He resided with Mrs. Maria Johnson
Undertakers were on hand, but the
officers finally notified w. |. Johnson
Sons and Mrs. Johnson permitted him
to come up and take charge of the
body. Everybody else with the ex-.
ception of the officers were barred
out.
Clark had been sick for some time
and was said to be both a Mason and,
an Odd Fellow. There was evidence
on the right side of his head of a
wound. 1t was over four inches in
length and the dried blood filled the
wound. The child which was in the
building is said to have given evil
dence of severe beating and the
rreya ling opinion among the neigh
bors seems to he that the woman was
demented.

KINGS BAY, SpitZbergen, May 9
Americas claim to the North Pole
was cinched tonight when, after a
fight of fifteen hours and fifty-one
minutes, Commander Richard f.
Byrd and Floyd Bennett, his pilot,
returned to announce that they had
flown to tn pole, circling it several
times and verifying Admiral Peary's
observations completely.
They were favored by continued
sunlight, and there was never the
slightest fog, enabling Commander
Byrd to use his sun compass and bub
bic sextant and obtain the most ac.
curate observations possible. There
were three magnetic compasses in the
plane, but all of them deviated ec-
centrically after reaching high lati-
tudes. Bennett declared that when
he was plotting the magnetic COM
passes were wholly useless and would
swing almost quarter turn, return
ing very slowly.
Take Turns In Plotting.
Without the sunlight, navigation
would have been almost impossible
Bennett and Commander Byrd alter
mated in the plotting, Bennett re-
filling the gasoline containers while
the Commander piloted and navi-
gated.
Commander Byrd found that the
Bumstead sun compass worked per-
fectly, even when held in the hand,
so when he was in the pilots seat he
held the. joystick in one hand while
he got his direction from the sun COM
pass held in the other.
When they were within sixty miles
of the Pole the oil system of the
right-hand motor began leaking badly
and it semed necessary to choose be-
tween proceeding with two motors or
attempting landing to make repairs.
Bennett For Landing, Byrd Refuses.
In the neighborhood of the Pole
numerous stretches of smooth ice
were visible and a landing was
favored by Bennett, but Commander
Byrd, remembering his difficulties in
starting at Kings Bay, vetoed this
proposal.
Both agreed, however, to continue
the flight to the Pole even il they
went on with only two motors. To
their surprise, the right-hand motor
continued to work effectively, despite
the ruptured oil tank, and when the
Fokker returned to Kings Bay all
three motors were hitting perfectly.

"The Riffiians believed, perhaps,

they deceived themselves. Our condi-
tons represented only what we were

security. If we reduced these de-
mands we would be exposing our
selves to danger of new aggressions,
such as we have already suffered.
Furthermore, the Riffians seemed
to think they could separate France

taken. Our accord has remained

tiations, and that will undoubtedly

OUDJA, May 6.-The Riffian peace
conference has finally and officially
broken down. The Riffian delegates
have departed for -el-Krim's
headquarters and the French and
Spanish authorities have set their
military machines on the alert for
offensives with which they hope to
force the peace settlement which
negotiations failed to obtain.
The conference ended twelve min
utes after the Riffian delegation had
met with the French and Spanish and
reported the refusal of Abd-el-Kr
to release all prisoners at once as
demanded in the allied ultimatum.
BY the terms of this ultimatum, de-
livered May 1, the tacit armistice ex-
isting since April 16, expires at mid
night. Both the French and Spanish
expect to launch their military ope-
rations at the earliest possible mo
ment, hoping to gain a crushing mill
tary advantage before the hot wealth
er of midsummer forces suspen-
sion of fight t'ng.
The French are ready now on the
lire, but the recent heavy rains in the
FeZ region may compel a delay of
several days. The Spanish have long
beena prepared for an ambitious land
and naval operation to take Tarauist,
Abd-el-Krim's principal headquarters
and join the now separate Alhucemas
and Melilla sectors.

The Final Conferences.

Azerkane and Haddou, of the
Riffian delegation, who had arrived
at Nemours, Algeria, on French de-
stroyer last night reached Oubjda at
9 o'clock this morning and Azerkane
got in touch almost Immediately with
the Europeans. First, an informal
conference was held with them by
Generals Simon and Olivan, heads of
the French and Spanish delegations.
AZerkane laid the whole of Abdel-
Krim's case before them. The Riff
leader, he said, had been quite will
ing to have the question of the ex-
change of prisoners discussed in full
conference, as had been agreed on in
preliminary discussions, but could not
accede to the demand brought up
since the conference began that the
French and Spanish prisoners be re-
leased before other questions were
taken up.
As to The other terms laid down by
the French and Spanish as the basis
of peace conference-namely, the
retirement of Abd-el-Krim, recogni-
tion of the Sultan and disarmament
of the tribes, the Riff leader said he
could not go beyond the undertakings
made on April 20, when quaisi-assent
in principle was given to the extern
sive compromises suggested.
Generals Simon and Olivan imme-
diately replied that this report did not
offer satisfactory reply to the allied
ultimatum.
The final plenary session was mere
ly repetition of this preliminary
one, the only difference being that
General Simon, as president of the
conference, announced officially that
there was no object in further dis
cussion and that the conference was
broken off.
The Riffians filed out gravely and
silently.
Azerkane Talks to Correspondence.
AS they were preparing for their
departure small group of newspaper
correspondents who have come to
know them well called and were re-

tears.
"We came to make peace" he said,
but when we agreed to one thing
they brought up others, always twist
