WILD ATTEMPT
Charcot Expresses Opinion of
Wellman Expedition to
Arctic.
WILL ACCOMPLISH NOTHING
Explore Going Again to Antarctic
and Expects to Explode Darwin's
Theory of Origin of Life
on Earth.
PARIS, Aug. 31. (Special.) Dr. John
Charcot, the celebrate scientist and
Antarctic explorer, who counts upon
starting for the South Polar regions next
week, spoke freely today about his plans
and hopes. Incidentally, in speaking of
Walter Wellman and the Record-Herald
expedition in quest of the North Pole,
Dr. Charcot said that Mr. Wellman is
an enthusiast who refuses to listen to
arguments.
His expedition." added he, "is a wild
attempt. Even if tie should reach the pole
by some extraordinary piece of luck, how
would he know when he gets there? The
only possible way would be to land and
take observations, which would require
12 hours' lapse of time. The observa
tions, always difficult, would be practical
ly impossible for a balloon expedition."
Deductions from the scientific data he
gathered on. his last expedition may lead
Dr. Charcot in this new venture ;o. dis
coveries tending toward a complete revis
ing of the whole theory of Darwinism?
"I have reached the conclusion from
my observations." said Dr. Charcot,
"that the southern hemisphere developed
life independently of the northern; that,
in fact, the two hemispheres were sep
aratedif not actually in space, yet vir
tually by an impassable zone of molten
material for sometime after life had be
gun to develop in the cooler regions
toward the separate poles.
"Forms of life are quite distinct in the
southern hemisphere, which Includes
Australia, Madagascar and portions of
South America and South Africa, where
the .flora and fauna are vastly different
from those north of the equator. After
the earth cooled, animals from the north
migrated toward the south, and those
from the south to the north. Their meet
ing -took place about the latitude of
Buenos Ayres, the law of the survival of
the fittest caused the southern animals
to succumb.
"I am convinced that in the South
Polar regions new types of animals may
be found in fossil remains."
"WAITS FOR GOOD WEATHER
Wellman Can't Start for Pole Till
After Middle of September.
HAMMERFEST, Aug. 31. (Special.)
Walter WTellman and his companions are
still waiting for favorable meteorological
conditions before starting for the North
Pole. Though up to the present condi
tions have not permitted of a start being
made, the explorer has still a fortnight
before him. After that date the advent
of the long Arctic night would seriously
interfere with the Buccess of the expedi
tion. FRENCH NATURE THEATER
Triumph of Love Over Goodness De
picted in Real Life.
PARTS, Aug. 31. (Special.) A "nature
theater" is the very latest for Paris. It
has been pitched at Caterets in a pic
turesque and romantic spot, and It has
successfully given Its first performance.
The play was by one of the new genera
tion of poets, Maurice Magre, and Is
cnHed "Velleda." The plot goes to show
that in the earlier centuries of the Chris
tion religion and before it had any great
hold on the people of Gaul, a dispute
arose between Venus, goddess of love,
representing the old heathen religion, end
a new goddess, Goodness, who had at
tracted many disciples. Velleda is a
priestess of the Druids, and she falls a
victim to the fury of the partisans of
both goddesses, for she has accepted the
religion of Goodness while still feeling
the sovereignty of love. The appearance
of Venus at the height of the mount on
which the theater in open air is situated
was very striking, and very modern
French. It. is a sign of the times that
the play did not lean toward the Chris
tian religion, but rather sought to elimi
nate it.
WILL NOT BECOME EDITOR
Loeb Scorns Story That Roosevelt
Will Buy New York Tribune.
OYSTER BAT, L. I., Aug. 31. (Special.)
President Roosevelt has no intention of
taking up a newspaper career when he
finishes his term. Secretary Loeb de
nounced the report that President was
negotiating for control of the New York
Tribune as a "fake made out of whole
cloth."
"No such plans have been thought of,"
said Mr. Loeb. "Neither would the Presi
dent consider It for a moment. The very
Idea of a former President conducting
a newspaper and critising the acts of
his successor is as undignified as it is
preposterous."
ANARCHY RULES MOROCCO

throats Threaten Foreigners.
PARIS. Aug. 31. A dispatch to the
Matin from Tangier says the situation
In Morocco is growing more alarming.
The foreign legations have made an

Tiie Matin's Casa Blanca correspond

viously was directed by a person thor
oughly conversant with the methods
of modern warfare.
The correspondent adds that the natives
made a splendid charge, and only the
shells from the Glolre broke it. The news
paper correspondents had a narrow es
cape from capture. One of them had his
mule killed.
The correspondent also says that an
Arab fugitive has come Into Casa Blanca,
bringing Mulal Haflg's letter In which ha

frauds are estimated at $200,000.
IT IS HARDLY FAIRLY BEGUN
IXTERMYER'S OPINION ON ANTI-TRUST
CAMPAIGN.
President's Action Wise, but Crim
inal Law Must Act and Tariff
Recognized as Involved.
PARIS, Aug. 31. (Special.) Samuel
TJntermyer, who is now at the Hotel
Ritz, In the course of an interview to
day said:
"I am not an authority on questions
pertaining to the stock market, but
I consider the condition of the stock
market, past, present and future, about
the least important question in the
United States, either just now or at
any other time. Wall street takes it
self too seriously, it is not a faithful
barometer of conditions.
"I consider the President's action
thus far to enforce the laws against
corporations to be wise and far-seeing.
Thus far he has hardly fairly begun.
Other growing evils of the trusts have
not yet been effectively assailed and
never will be until the machinery of
the criminal law is set in motion, nor
until the tariff is recognized as an in
tegral part of the trust question."
Paris Wind Takes Straw Hat.
PARIS, Aug. 31. (Special.) W. A. Gas
line, of Toledo, brother-in-law of the late
Senator Hanna, who has been viewing the
sights of Paris, tells of an unpleasant
experience as follows:
"I don't like French hats at all. I
made a special point, therefore, to bring
over with me an American straw of the
latest fashion. Owing to the continued
cool weather, I waited and waited for a
bright, warm day to' wear it. At last
the day came, and I took the boat for St.
Cloud, wearing the hat for the first time.
The boat had just started when my hat
was lifted oft from my head and sailed
off into the river. Everybody laughed,
of course. Now I am wearing a French
hat and waiting patiently until I can get
to New York to buy another."
"In Amsterdam one day I noticed the
population all hurrying In a certain di
rection." said Gasline. "and I asked if
there was a fire. What do you think
they told me? That It was the hour for
Amsterdam people to get out and exer
cise." '

to take the place of the Kansas City,
which was refused by the latter company
on account of the condition of her hull.
Captain Frelle, formerly of the steam
ship China, who was sent from San
Francisco to bring out the Kansas City,
and who reported adversely as to her
condition, is on the' ground, and if the
Birmingham is in first-class shae when
lifted on drydock, he will start for the
Coast immediately:
The City of Birmingham Is a speedy
steamer and has been operating between
New York and Savannah for a number of
years. She is of several tons greater
measurement than the Kansas City, but
Is shorter and of less beam. Her passen
ger accommodations are not as large as
the Kansas City's. Theity of Birm
ingham was built at Chester, Pa., in
1SS8. Her dimensions are: Length, 301
feet; beam, 42.5 feet; depth of hold. 16.7
feet. She is rated on the Atlantic Coast
as being a 16 knot vessel. The City of
Birmingham will be renamed the Bay
City.
All changes In equipment and the ap
plication of modern appliances which
were ordered for the Kansas City will
be installed on the City of Birmingham.
AVGVST EXPORTS, FOREIGN
Values Are Greater Than Last Year,
But Quantity Is Less.
Flour exports, foreign, for the month
of August amounted to 31.941 barrels,
valued at $123,399. This was less than
one-half of the amount dispatched dur
ing the same period last year. The lum
ber shipments were practically the same.
During the month of August, 1906, 12.990,
000 feet of lumber were sent across seas.
The value placed on this material was
$1S5,439. During the month which closed
yesterday the value of the timber car
ried was placed at $193,128.
The total value of exports for the en
tire month amounted to $366,945. In point
of value lumber made up the greatest
portion of the cargoes. Flour came next
and general cargo last.
The coastwise lumber fleet is looking
a trifle better than for some time. The
carriers got away with 4.502,200. mostly
consigned to dealers in San Francisco.
While this is only about one-third of the
amount which was shipped South during
the months of February and March, it is
better than the California shipments of
last year for a corresponding period.
YOLA IS STILL HOLDING OUT
Owners of British Ship Want 29s

28s 9d for the ship, but refused. The ad
vance demanded is only 3d. ,
Wheat is coming In at a rapid rate,
and ships are necessary to keep the
docks clear. The Port Patrick and the
Celtic Chief are fully two months away
and the Yola is the only disengaged ship
on the list.

NEGRO HOTBED OF REVOLT.
Tear Up Prince's Picture and Heap
Ridicule on Inquisitive Chief
of Police.
CETTINJE, Aug. 31. (Special.)
Prince Nicholas of Montenegro sorely
regrets ever having given his subjects
a constitution. The Prince used to sit
under a great tree in the market-place
at Cettinje and there dispense law and
justice, and give directions for the
execution of both. That was 14 months
ago. Since the constitution was pro
mulgated there have been two general
elections, four cabinet changes, two
rebellions, three fatal riots, a military
conspiracy and the end is not yet.
Some years ago the Czarina, Maria
Alexandrovna. established a female
college in Cettinje and sunplied it
with money and Russian teachers. In
one of the rooms of the college, that
of the senior class, hung a picture' of
Prince Nicholas in a gilt frame. The
girls of this class happen to be the
daughters of members of the demo
cratic party, which the Prince has de
clared was composed of traitors. One
day these girls tore the picture down
and danced upon the fragments. Then
books and furniture fared a similar
fate.
The government heard of the trouble
and sent its Chief of Secret Police to
investigate. M. Yanko Angelat, which
Is the name of that formidable person
age, came. He found 30 seniors ar
rayed in their best. They surrounded
him with murmurs of pleasure at his
uniform, and presented him with a
magnificent bouquet of roses. M. An
gelat bowed low and held the flowers
to his noset Then he began to sneeze,
then to cough violently. Then tears
rolled down his cheeks and he sat
down. The girls hovering near showed
their solicitude by advising him to go
to the hospital and have the offending
member removed, so that in the future J
he would mind niR own business. v nen
he finally went away; gleeful laughter
followed him into the street. He re
ported to the Prince for orders. Tao
Prince heard his story, buried his face
in his handkerchief, and told him there
were none.
PAY YOUNG PEOPLE FIRST
Business Men May Take Up Ac

t
That the juvenile depositors in the Ore
gon Trust & Savings Bank shall be paid
tirst in full is the proposal made by a
banker of Independence, Or., and it seems
likely that this plan will be carried out
in winding up the affairs of the involved
bank. It Is proposed that Portland busi
ness men purchase the accounts of all
depositors under the age of 18 years,
paying the face value of the accounts.
An association is to be formed and each
member will contribute to a fund which
will be used in repaying the children
who had deposits in the defunct bank.
Meanwhile Receiver Devlin Is making
all speed possible on the report of the
bank's assets and will make a statement
to the court just as soon as the figures
of the bank's assets are available. This,
it is expected will not be later than
Thursday of this week.

King Strong in Mind and Body.
LONDON, Aug. 31. (Special.) A strik

was paid by Sir Lauder Brunton at a
dinner at the Cecil Hotel to the delegates
of the congress on scnool hygiene. He
said that the King was a man of won
derful muscular strength and perfect
physical energy. He was an adept at
field sports, and few would be able to
excel or equal him in physical exercises.
Besides this, he was a man of most re
markable knowledge, both of small and
great things, and could grasp a situation
and go right to the root of tilings with
remarkable rapidity.

Senator Says Slump in Stocks Affect

Down by the Uncertainty
About Legislation.
PARIS, Aug. 31. "Legislation with
out investigation, and not the Presi
dent or his Administration. Is mainly
responsible for the slump in American
stocks."
Thus spoke Senator Chauncey M. De
pew today. Mr. and Mrs. Depew, who
arrived in Paris two 'days ago from
Carlsbad, left today on the St. Louis
from Cherbourg.
"An unfortunate feature of the state
of the American market," continued
Mr. Depew. "Is the bad Impression It
Is making in France. American secur
ities were just getting a foothold in
France and the French people were
taking big blocks of stock. Holders
of those stocks are unable to under
stand the big drops in market values.
Many French buyers of American se

If something is the matter with the
market prices of stocks, there must be
something the matter with underlying
conditions In America.
"In passing laws regulating passen

do business on a 2-cent basis, they will
be losing money at a rapid rate on
their passenger traffic.

Sam Simpson, a 20-year-old youth,

SCORNS MODERN CLOTHES-
WOMAN" WEARS NEITHER SHOES
XOR STOCKINGS.
Loose Gown Her Only Garment on
Ocean Liner Closely Watched
on Promenade Deck.
NEW YORK. Aug. 31. (Special.)
There arrived today on the steamship
Loralne a young woman who does not
believe in nature faking. She frowns
upon pads, corsets and all the rest that
go to make the female form divine. Even
snoes and stockings she views with con
tempt. And as for a multiplicity of un
dergarments, she regards those things
as altogether unnecessary.
The Ideal costume, according to this
remarkable young woman. Miss Eva
Palmer, who, by the way, is a New
Yorker, is a loose gown-, nothing more.
When she applied for passage aboard the
Loraine. she gave a brief synopsis of
her views on the clothing question to
the ticket agent.
"Do you adhere strictly to your be
liefs?" he falteringly Inquired.
"Certainly," she replied. The ticket
agent was stumped. The young woman,
however, came to his rescue.
. "My attire aboard ship will be perfectly
proper,-' she said. "Only I shall wear
sandals instead of shoes."
This compromise satisfied the ' aent,
but Miss Palmer had neglected to tell the
agent that stockings were not Included
in her costume. As a result, persons
who had heard of the Kneipp cure
watched Miss Palmer with a great deal
of interest whenever she appeared on the
promenade deck.
