Theory That the Pole Is Chang

Monuments to Mark. Dividing Line.
VICTORIA, B. C, March 27.
That the north pole is shifting and
the climate changing, making the
northern territories of this continent
warmer and northern Asia colden, is
the theory Mose B. Cotworth, of
York, England, who is returning
home after an investigatipn in Aalska.
His theory is that great masses of
ice along the Canadian shore of the
Artcic ocean, by force of gravity, is
impinging the crust of the earth over
towards Siberia, where an immense
glacial accumulation counteracts the
movement A curious effect and
phenomena may result in boundary
difficulties of the United States and
Canada, as the boundary is fixed by
latitude and if the north pole is
really traveling latitudes will change
also, requiring permanent monuments
to mark the dividing line.

ALLIGATOR REFUSES FOOD.
NEW YORK, March 27. Keepers
at the Bronx zoo are puzzled over
the problem of Mose, the twelve-foot
alligator, who has refused to eat
anything for four months and is
slowly starving to death. Formerly
the alligator was kept in an enclosure
with twelve or fourteen crocodiles.
His habit of frequently becoming
angry and attacking his companions
led to his isolation four months ago.
From that day his self-imposed fast
dates. The keepers attribute his re
fusal to eat to peevishness at being
kept by himself and have been hop
ing that the fit would wear off. To
date it has failed to leave him and
the head keeper held a consultation
of animal experts for this afternoon
to discuss the case and see if any
thing can be done to save the big
reptile.

ciary to Eaxmine Whether There
Had Been on Part of the Executive
Any Breach of Privilege.
WASHINGTON, March 27. Mi

today gave notice of his intention to
introduce a resolution to "ask the
commttee on the judiciary to ex
amine whether there has been on th
part of the executive any breach of
privilege of the House of Represen
tatives." Williams said the resolution would
be based on an item in today's Wash
ington Post headed "Roosevelt
Rakes Diekeman." The story stated
that Diekeman, of Michigan, a mem
ber of the sub-committe which in
vestigated the charges against Judge

WRONG MAN
Due de Chaulnes Escaped Through a
Technicality.
NEW YORK, Mar. 27. Regarding
the litigation by which Jas. F. Hanni-
gan hoped to collect $2,000 from the
Dus de Chaulnes for clothes supplied
him in London and Paris, City Court
Justice Conlan has decided that the
summons in the suit had not been
properly served. The process server
said he had given to the Due, but the
latter declared in an affidavit that
the summons had been served on his
cousin, Baron Louis de Conde, in
mistake. The Dus is now in Europe.
In his decision Justice Conian says:
"The process server did not know
the defendant, and identification was
made through a third party who
makes no affidavit. I am therefore
reluectlantly compelled to grant this
motion but without costs."
Given up to Die.
B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia street,
Evansville, Ind., writes: "For over
five years I was troubled with kidney
and bladder affections which caused
me much pain and worry. I lost flesh
and was all run down, and a year ago
had to abandon work entirely. I had
three of the best physicians who did
me no good and I was practically
given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure
was recommended and the first bottle
gave me great relief, and after taking
the second bottle I was entirely
cured." Why not let it help you?

It is better to cure the little cough
than to take chances of consumption.
The beat cough cure Is Kemp's Balsam.
Druggists sell it at 25 cents and 50
cents a bottle.

WANTS TO COME BACK.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.
The Call says today:
"Word reached the office of the
chief of police late last night that
John Dalzcll Robertson, assistant sec
retary of the defunct California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company, was in
New York and anxious to return to
San Francisco and turn state's evi
dence. Robertson was indicted with
J. Dalzell Brown, Walter J. Bartnett
and James Treadwell for embezzle
ment. He escaped from San Fran
cisco as soon as the crash came and
has been a fugitive for four months.
Robertson is penniless and broken in
health. Through friends he has made
what practically amounts to a com
plete confession and hopes that he
may be granted immunity for the
testimony he is willing to give. The
statements by Robertson directly in
volve Bartnett, Brown and Tread-
