"EARVFOR NORTH POIE7 Indominable Explorer To Try For Pole Again This Summer. WASHINGTON. April . Secretary Metcalf. today granted the application of Commander Teary, for a three years leave of absemv the time to be spent In Polar explorations. The application of CommanJer Pea ry for a leave of absence of three yvars, uncovered the fact that Peary proposes to make another attempt thl summer to reach the North Pole. It is expected the start will be made sometime in June. NEW TORK, April 9. Delphln M. Delmas, leading counsel for Harry K. Thaw will finish his address to the Ju ry tn Thaw's defense today. It la ex pected that he will conclude half the of his address befor the court takes Its luncheon recess. Then there will remain nothing; more but District At torney Jerome's address to the jury ana Justice Fitierald's charge. The case should surely go to the Jury by Thursday, and the probability Is that it wilt be submitted to them WeJnes-j . day afternoon. Mr. Delmas spoke for two hours and a half yesterday, reviewing the evi dence and putting upon It the de- fence's construction. He had prac- j tlcally finished with this portion of; his address when court adjourned last, night and today he will begin with tig real argument So far he has not mentioned the subject of Insanity, but has devoted himself entirely to an at tempt to show that the evidence proves that Evelyn Nesblt Thaw told the truth on the stand when she told the story to Harry K. Thaw In Paris, in 1903, and that the story was true. He also took occasion to denounce Evelyn's mother in the bitterest terms as a woman who had lived on her daughter's shame. He flatly accused Abraham H. Hummel of committing perjury on the witness stand and waxed eloquent when detailing the de barred attorney's record. Today Mr. Delmas will get down to the actual story of the shooting and will argue that Thaw was insane at the time of the shooting. Yesterday calling her one of the bravest and truest women the world had ever seen, and flayed Stanford White mer cilessly. He has made known his in-1 tention of not bringing into the case the "Unwritten law," but his argu ment so far has been almost altogeth er along that line. When Mr. Delmas finishes his argument today Court will be adjourned until tomorrow morning when Mr. Jerome will begin his sum ming up. He expects to finish in three or four hours and If he does it is probable that Justice Fitzgerald will charge the jury at once. The Jury has been ordered confined until they are discharged and It is' not probable j that the judge will keep them con- ' fined longer than is necessary. That every possible effort will be made to secure a verdict goes without saying. The case has' been the long- est and most expensive murder trial ever held in New York and Justice J Fitzgerald will not allow the Jury wj go until there is absolutely no chance of agreement. Even if they do report that they cannot agree, as those who have been following the trial closely confidently believe, it is probable that Justice Fitzgerald will send them back to the jury room and keep them there until the last hope of an agreement Is gone.

Upon com plaint of Master Fish Warden H. G. Van Dusen, the State Hoard of Fish Commlsstoutirs yesterday afternoon vo ted to retire H. A. Webster, of Oregon City, fro mthc orhYe of Deputy Fish Warden and appointed In his place mnk C. Brown, of Ontario, formerly a resident of Oregon City. While this change cannot be regarded a nn as surance of the re-election of Mr. Van Dusen to his present office. It may be said to strengthen his chance of re tention In the light of present chaotic conditions. Mr. Van Dusen's principal complaint against Webster was that he put in the major portion of his time "knock ing" and pa'd little attention to the performance of his official duties," and the board In making the change took the view that. Inasmuch as the Fish Warden Is heU responsible for the proper observance of the law govern ing the flsh Industry and protection of the fish during the olosml season, strict harmony should prevail between him self and his deputies. It appears that nothing but discord had cxlsled be tween Messrs. Van Dusen and Webster for several months past, and In retir ing the deputy the board takes the position of upholding the authority and respect due the superior official. For many months thcro have been half-confirmed rumors that Mr. Van Dusen would be retired from the office of Master Fish Warden at the close of his present term, but the longer the election Is delayed the more remote seems the possibility of any change. Deputy Webster has been recognised as Mr. Van Dusen's strongest oppo nent for the job, and while his removal from the deputyshlp does not neces sarily destroy his chances to succeed to the higher office, It relegates him somewhat to the background. One of Mr. Van Dusen's chief causes for cont ent against Mr. Webster was the chiirgo that he was putting In his time lobbying for the Mustw Warden's J.ib during the Legislature, where he should have been attending to subordi nate duttc a! his post. If II should come to a vote uW a successor to Mr. Van Dusen at present even If Secretary of State tU'iioti were here, It would be pietly certain to result In n deadlock, and Mr. Van thtsue would hold his Job Indefinitely. Itcfore leaving for California, Secre tar HciiMm said he had no choice among the candidates. Slide Treasu rer Steel Is pledged to support Rep resentative J. V. Campbell, of Oregon City, for the Job while Governor Cham berlain will stand by his announced policy of retaining incumbents where ihe services have been satlMtu-tnr) and would Vole for the retention of Mr, Van Dusen.
