HEW POLAR LAUDS OF LITTLE VALUE State Department Thinks They Will Not Benefit the - Country. . 9mmmmm .. . TOO FAR OFF TO BE GOOD

OTHER DI8COVERIE8 IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS HAVE BEEN ABANDONED BECAU8E THEY WERE OF NO ACCOUNT.

Washington, D. , C., ; Sept. 11 State department officials are of the opinion that it is of little consequence to the United States what- lands Dr. Cook has discovered on his way to the north pole so far as actual territorial possession Is concerned. It is recalled by the department officials that ever since 1828 Americaa explorers in both the artic and antarctic have discovered vast areas of land to which no claims ever were made. Admiral Wllks found in the antarctic a territory of more than 100,000 square miles in area, and Dr. Kane made large discoveries in the arctic, but no effort ever has been made by the United States to assert its right to them. Gen. Greely some years ago located lands which never before were known to exist. Many of the world's greatest navigators have from time to time made discoveries to which no claim ever was made. The principal reason for this, however, is said to be .that these lands in every Instance were almost Inaccessible and absolutely of no value. r The islands of , Spitsbergen, whioh were discovered many years ago, still are without a recognised owner. On the maps these islands are designated as belonging to Russia, but her claim, If ever asserted, has never been recognised. These Islands are not only accessible but have developed some thriving industries, and only within the last few years has any effort been made to exercise over them any jurisdiction or authority. Recently, however a conference has been suggested of representatives of countries having Interests in them to , provide some sort of an administration for their government. The United States probably will be represented by reason of the fact that the only Important coal mines in the territory are operated by Americans. As to the particular territory which Dr. Cook , is said to have discovered the statement was made today that it was quite probable that these lands would be found to be an extension of the mainland of Greenland, and, if so, they belong to Denmark. At any rate, it Is extremely improbable. It is said, that the United States would attempt to assert sovereignty, over them.

Philadelphia, Pa.,, Sept 2 That the exploration of Dr. Cook in the arctic regions may lead to the cultivation of

ivory from the walrus and elderdowa from arctic birds and possibly to the whale and seal industry was the expressed ' belief of Dr. E. S. Huston of this city, scientist and author, who has written several books on the subject of the north pole and its surroundings. "I have always been of the opinion that the northern regions of the world are by no means useless from a commercial standpoint," said Dr. Huston today. "Many of us doubtless will live to e the hyperborean or under north boreas regions carefully cultivated, as it were, for the ivory walrus, - the eiderdown of various arctic birds, and possibly, if deep waters are found, for the cultivation of the whale and fur seal.

Tribute Paid to Martha Lewis Peelle In Sketch Written by Mrs. Jenkinson

At the Boyd reunion at Glen Miller park, William K. Bradbury of this city read a paper prepared by Mrs. Isaac Jenkinson, on the life of Martha Lewis Peelle. Mrs. Peelle was well known in this city and the paper, which will be of much Interest, is given in full, as follows: "This annual reunion of the Boyd family, with all Its Interest and attractions, lacks one engaging feature the loving welcome of that buoyant daughter of the house, Miss Martha L. Peelle. Her mother, Mrs. Evallne Boyd Peelle, granddaughter of the founders of the Indiana branch of clan Boyd, was a zealous lover of her people, so th? young daughters, Martha and Narclssa were brought up at the very feet of Gamaliel, so far as family devotion was concerned. "The bright and friendly presence of the one so lately taken (June 18th.) was of late years seldom missing from the annual gatherings of the descendants of Rev. Samuel and Mrs. Isabel1 a Boyd, the big hearted Kentucklans, who near the beginning of the last century, penetrated the Walnut Level wilderness and helped with band ani head and heart to develop this good land. "As zealous and devoted as her ancestors, this modern offshoot, with her Intense views and vigorous methods, linking the bravery and patriotism and piety of her pioneer forbears with all that is advanced and fearless in the new thought of the 20th century, after a life of tireless endeavor, of stress and suffering, of love and hope and) many sorrows, has laid down to a painless rest. Those of us who knew her well are grief stricken that her place is evermore empty. When, on the late afternoon of June 20th her painless form, under its wealth of rare flowers, was born by relatives, out from the glory-crowned house which she had so adorned, down the long walks over which the maker? of the world's history had habitually trodden, the last of a distinguished household made her farewell with a desolate plcturesquemess, wholly heartbreaking. "Martha L. Peelle was born at Marlon, Indiana, and when a child was taken to Winchester, at which place her father, William A. Peelle, became a leading lawyer, judge of the court and very prominent citizen, successful financially as well as in his profession. There the two little girls, Martha and Narclssa, were partly reared and there they lived an ideal child life, in an atmosphere of devoted love, surrounded by all that was obtainable of luxury. "Judge Peelle, being elected secretary of state in 1800, moved with his family to Indianapolis, where the daughters continued their education. After the expiration of his term of office he came to Centervllle and purchased the now historic home of Oliver

P. Morton, the great war governor, which he continued to own, bequeathing it to the subject of this sketch. "After the county seat had been removed to Richmond he became a resident of this city and soon purchased the handsome home, 104 South Thirteenth street, where the family resided till after the death of Mrs. Peelle in 1806, which property was also inherited by the daughter Martha. Here most of her life was spent and here she was surrounded by almost countless friends. Society had unusual charms for her and she met its requirements with many social accomplishments. Her humorous turn of thought and speech, her vivacity and mental alertness, above all her wide-reaching sympathies attracted .almost all who knew her. These characteristics remained unimpaired through great suffering even to the very end. "Miss Martha Peelle was a student of the New Thought, not fearing the criticism of those who insist on the beat

en track. She embraced the tenets of Christian Science and derived strength and comfort from its teachings. Her thoughts to the last, strongly turned to psychical subjects which for her had ever increasing, attraction. An interest which had held her attention for years was elocution. Graceful of

"movement, with resonant voice modu

lated to almost perfectness by constant study under skilled instructors, her re citals suggested professional finish. "Chiefly, Miss Peelle was known and beloved for her big, warm heart, her geniality, her wide sympathy, her social outreaching which knew almost no limit. Impulsive and excitable she fe)l Into much extravagance of speech, but it was easy to read the warm kindliness that underlay it, and the native sense of right and wrong and fairness that accompanied. It'was an almost unreasoning devotion that she gave to her nearest relatives and she was loth to admit a doubt that she would pass to her .departed ones on the severing of earthly bonds. Early in her final illness she said, "it is not that I am afraid to die; I only dread a lingering helplessness. It would be well to be with my parents and with Narra to rest in their sheltering love." "Many friends miss her perennial brightness, her enthusiasm and superabundance of life even in weakness and disease, her peculiarly impressive and engaging personality. To many among whom is the writer, the world will not go on just the same. There is an unfilled gap, and an ache that time can not allay. "Among the hundreds of descendants of Rev. Samuel Boyd and wife, whose memory is so worthy of the honor being tendered them today, there is no one who appeals to the feelings with a tenderer call, or makes a more vivid Impress on many lives than their great granddaughter, the late Martha Lewis Peelle."

CENSUS TO SHOW HEAR 100,000,000

Experts Estimate Population Of United States With 1908 Figures as Basis. BANDIT'S WIDOW LEADER

MRS. JESSE JAMES TAKE8 PROMINENT PART IN RELIGIOUS EXERCISES AT OCEAN GROVE, NEW JERSEY.

New York, Sept. 11. Statisticians who are qualified to form estimates believe that the United States census to be taken next year will show a population of between 90,000,000 and 95,000,000 persons. They would not be surprised if the figures ran as high as 100,000,000. These estimates are made from the census bureau figures of the population of the United States up to the last census of 190O, as compared with the estimated population of the larger cities for 1908. While the census bureau

is not permitted to offer any such advance estimates, its officials rely implicitly upon the knowledge and ability of the statisticians who make these estimates. The department of agriculture estimates that the number of farms has increased from 4,504,641 In 1890 to 6,100,000 in 1908; the total acreage has increased from 623,000,000 in 1S90 to over 1,000,000,000 in 1908, and that the capital of the farmers in the form of land, buildings, improvements, live stock, implements and machinery Is now computed at 28,000,000,000, which represents an increase of 75 to SO per cent over 1S90. Mrs. Jesse James, widow of the notorious Missouri bandit, has been one of the most religious attendants at the annual evangelistic meeting at Ocean Grove, N. J. This fact became known when an ardent woman evangelist dropped before the audience of 2,000 persons, while leading the prayer. Among those who went to the stricken woman's assistance was Mrs. James, and then for the first time it became known that the aged but enthusiastic little woman who had worked so conscientiously for the success of the campmeeting during the last few years was the widow of Jesse James. Mrs. James has been living quietly at the religious resort and daily has led the large meetings In song and prayer. At the 1ove feast," which is a regular part of the daily program, Mrs. James has recited her personal testimony, telling of the great relief which her religious belief has brought her.

GRAPMTEJS BETTER Recommended Instead of Poisonous Lead for Paint.

The growing exclusion, of lead from paint on the ground of its poisonous sharacter has led to the Introduction of graphite as a substitute, particularly in the place of red lead in the painting of iron. Mixed with linseed oil graphite protects the iron well against rust, and is much cheaper than red lead. So many new uses have been

found for graphite, which not long ago was employed almost exclusively for the manufacture of lead pencils, that large quantities are now made with the electric furnace, the natural deposits

I of the mineral not being sufficient to

supply the demand.

Enemies of Roosevelt Land Policy Aiming to Dupe Taft

Washington, D. C, Sept. 11. An effort is being made by the BallingenMcHarg faction to induce President Taft to refer all the conservation and land questions to congress. This is to be done on the plea that there is n authority under the law to carry out the Roosevelt reforms, and that additional legislation is needed. It has been suggested to the president that on his western trip he should announce this intention of sending a message to congress asking for such legislation. In making this announcement the president could consistently renew his declaration that he intends to carry out the Roosevelt-Pinchot conservation ideas, but that he feared that some legislation is necessary to make them effective. Senate Would Defeat It. Such a plan on the surface seems attractive. There is not much doubt that a bill which purports to give the interior department and the forestry

bureau the power to control the national resources would pass the house. Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants, with all of their power, could not defeat such a measure. But certain it is that it would be defeated in the senate. The western senators, who, even during Roosevelt'3 administration, attacked the bureau of forestry for its reforms could be depended upon to attempt to talk any effective bill to death. The ancient doctrine of state's rights would serve as an excuse for opposition to any real forestry reform legislation. Pinchot to Return. Being advised of the plans of the Ballinger-McHarg faction, the supporters of the Roosevelt policies have sent a message to Chief Forester Pinchot His supporters think that he should be in Washington to prepare a defense for the policy of the forestry bureau.

PROTECTS INFANTRY

Stuttgart Man Invented Device of Use to Soldiers.

In military maneuvers the infantry must do more or less work under cover and it is frequently essential for the soldier to work his way along the surface of the ground by creeping or crawling. In order to facilitate this a genius of Stuttgart has Invented a device, consisting of wheels, rollers or runners, attached to a frame or lo tent poles, knapsacks or other suitable parts of the equipment. The utility of this invention remains to be proved by practical experience, but there can be no question of its novelty and originality.
