COPENHAGEN. Nov. 11. There is
reason to believe that the body of Pro
fessor S. S. Andre, the Arctic explorer,
who. in 19oS. made an attemut to reach
the north pole In a balloon, has been
found on the coast of Labrador.

that beneath this cross he found a body
.and a box of documents.
He dug under the cross and found
human remains and a box containing

removed the cross, but he refused to
say whether or not the papers were in
his possession. The Inga'e captain
asked how the name "Andre" was
spelled. ' tin being told, he took a piece
of paper from his pocket, on which was
written the name as It appeared on
the cross. It was "Andree."
The place where the cross was dls
covered is an absolute desert and li
rsreiv visited, even by the Eskimos.
tVhat became of Andre's two compan
Ions, if the discovered remains prove to
be his. Is a problem, but the light prob

an examination of the papers.

T. Grenfell. the noted Labrador medical
missionary and explorer, who delivered a
lecture here tonight, when shown a dis
patch from Copenhagen containing the
report of the finding of Andree's body,
said:
"I don't believe that there Is any truth
It it." He wis at Conception Bay, N. F.,
late, in October, he added, and heard
nothing of such a report and he was cer
tain that. If t -e captain of the schooner
Poloops ht.'d announced any such dis
covery, th news of it would spread rap
idly, no only In Newfoundland but
throughout Labrador. He also considered
it unlikely that a Danish sea captain
would have been the only one to hear the

Oil Man Tells Why Standard
Stopped Pipeline Work.
NEW YORK. Nov. 11. Georpre W.
Brrns. the Oklahoma oil producer, tes
tified to-lay In the Government suit to
dl'dolve the Standard Oil Company, that
the prairie Oil & Gas Company, a Stand
ard Oil subsidiary and rival of the
Texas Pine Une and Gulf Pipe Line
'companies entering; the Oklahoma fields
from tlu south, had started to eitend
its pipe line to the Oklahoma Glenn
pnni section, hut because of an adverse
official ruling had suspended work.
Counsel for the Standard read the
regulations under which a ploe line
may be built through Government land,
contingent upon the consent of the Sec
retary of the Interior, who also has the
right to suspend the license at any
time for cause. Mr. Barnes said:
1 consider a man who would build a
line undr such conditions, which make
it likely to be taken away from him at
any time, a fit subject for an Insane
asylum. What company would spend
millions building a line subject to the
whim of the Secretary of the Interior,
who might suspend the license any time
he got bilious."
Mr. Barnes said that the producers
had suffered much through a lack of
ptpe-ltn competition.
"Our only, competition Is In selling
the oil. he said. He declared that 90
per cent of the producers were favor
able to the Pralrfo OH Company, as It
had been their friend. -

NEW YORK. Nov. 11. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. Claudia Hains is the
center, of interest in the Halns
Annls murder case, because the
trouble between Captain Peter
Hains, her husband, and "Billy"
Annls grew out of the charge
that she had been Intimate with
Annls In the Captain's absence.
She does not deny signing a con
fession to that effect, but says
she was virtually compelled to do
so when not under self-control,
and that It is untrue. She may
go on the stand to testify to this
effect.

BUDAPEST. Nov. 11. The bill pro
viding for universal suffrage In Hun
gary was presented to the Chamber of
Deputies today by Count Andrassy
Minister of the Interior. It contains
many novel provisions that are de
signed, as the preamble points out, to
'prevent the political power from fall
ing wholly Into the hands of the un
intelligent sections of the population."
The bill provides that every Hun
garian over 24 years old who has re
sided In any commune for one .year. Is
entitled to vote. Illiterates, however,
will be assembled In groups of 10, and
each group will have the power to se
lect a single elector.
Aa a further means of "preserving
the ascendency of the Intelligent
classes." the bill provides for a system
of plural voting, by which all electors
over 32 years old who have fulfilled
their military duty and who have three
children, are given two votes. Work
Ingmen who have graduated from
specified classes of the secondary
schools are given a double vote. Elec.
tors who have completed the full course
of the secondary schools or who pay
920 in direct annual taxation are given
the high privilege of voting three
times.

Cars Catch Fire.
Little Woods is so surrounded by
swamp that the only access to the
scene is by way of the railroad. When
the rescue party reached Little Woods,
the scene was one of terror, desolation
and death. The wreck had caught fire
and the first efforts of the loungers
around the camps went toward subdu
ing the flames. In this they had been
partially successful, but little succor
had been given to the badly Injured and
several of these died while lying around
the smouldering debris. Rude bandages
had been bound about their wounds in
an effort to stop the flow of blood and
In many instances the later Investiga
tion .of the surgeon discovered that
more than one life had been saved In
this manner. None worked harder than
the women passengers in this crude
surgery.
At 9:30 the rescuer had not been able
to get all the dead and waunded from
the cars. They had been compelled to
devote their attention largely to extin
guishing the flames witlch started as
soon as the wreck occurred.
The dead and injured rescued from
the wrecked cars were placed on cush
ions from the train and laid alongside
the tracks.
Scenes of Horror.
It Is reported that the dead and in
jured are confined to the Northeastern
train, no one being Injured in the Great
Northern train. The latter train smashed
through two filled and two empty
coaches, most of those in the former
being either killed or injured.
Up to 10 o'clock nine bodies and 30 In
jured had been taken from the wreck
age and many more were believed to be
In the wrecked cars. .
The relief train had not arrived at
10:30 A. M. The moans of the dying
were heartrending and the bodies of
the dead formed an awful spectacle.
Only one doctor was aboard each of the
trains. He worked In herculean man

to relieve the suffering of the injured

PARIS. Nov. 11. Vlctorien Sardou, the
French author and dramatist, was buried
today. Although simple, the funeral was
an expressive evidence of the place Sar
dou held in the hearts of the French peo

were omitted. He was, however, given
the military honors - always accorded
those who have received the grand cross
of the Legion of Honor.
- The list of those in the church consti

Frenchmen in the fields of art, literature,
science and the stage. All the leading
lights of the Paris stage were present.
Thousands of persons followed the cortege

Telegrams and letters of condolence
continue to pour in to the family of M.
Sardou from all parts of the world. King
Edward and Queen Amelia, mother of
King Manuel of Portugal, sent messages,
and almost every dramatic and theatrical
organization in Europe has paid homage
to the famous Frenchman.
