The Nor- | wegian steamer Michael Sars left Bear Island, batween Spitzbergen and Nor- way, to search as far to the east as | the thirtieth meridian. The Norwegian | cruiser Toraenskjold was ordered to call from Horten, the Norwegian naval {base, and to tend out a s2aplane on short reconnaissance flights between | Norway and Spitzbergen. | Nobile suggested that a plane equipped | with skiis be sent to his party on the | fce floes. He thought that there was a good chance that it would be able | to pick up the marooned men one at |a time and transport them back to | Kings Bay. News from Lieut. Holm caused un- certainty as to the fate of the party of | { three which left the Nobile gamp on | May 30 to make their way to land afoot. - He flew to Cape Brun over i Northeast Land and informed Capt. Sora of the Alpine troops, who is leading | an expedition of dogs along the coast {that fcz conditions in the neighbor- { hood of Foyn Island were unfavorable. | He urged Capt.

Before he held his confer- ence with the newspaper men, however, tendent of the Post Office service, in he said a few words here and there. He has no idea, presumably. what the Mississippl delegation is going to do In fact, the Senator is profoundly ig- norant on the subject at this writing. He was asked how he liked the Repub- lican convention, and he said he heard most of it over the radio, but “it was so cold a feller would most freeze to death.” That, and the static, evidently | prevented the Senator from enjoying it. While most of the delegations will not arrive until Monday, the crowds are increasing every hour, and the Rice Hotel, which is the headquarters for | everything, is beginning to take on the | general appearance of the Muehlebach ! at Kansas City. The heat s the favor- able subject of conversation right now —the heat and methods of avoiding the fout of 100 service men: Philadelphia, deleterious effects of extreme at. | 14; Chicago, 16, and St. Louls, 23; Every one has his theory on how to while in this city, out of 40 subclerical stand ths heat.

Another will declare that hot baths are the thing, but he is immediately challenged by some one ! | élse who has heard that one must never take a hot bath in hot weather. Do not eat any meat, says one heaticlan, | but another says that regular meals should be taken regularly. One other theory is that one uld eat often, but little, while another is that one should | sleep during the midday heat (a sound theory) and should not eat at all. “The way these Texans stand the heat," an expert affirmed, “is to go out on the pral where the wind blows all the time.” | But the Democrats aren't on the prairies. They're all headed for Hou- ston. MAN FREED ON TRAFFIC | CHARGE FACES ANOTHER| Willlam H. Lawson, 1324 Twenty- ninth street, who was arrcsted on a| harge of driving while intoxicated on his way to Police Court vesterday to stand trial on a charge of leaving after colliding, was acquitted of the latter count by & jury under Judge Schuldt in Police Court today. Lawson was charged with leaving the coene of an accident on Nichols road without making his Identity known. He testified, however, that he had been injured In the accident and left to go to a hospital. Lawson was arrested yesterday by Policeman C. A. Berry, who noticed him driving In an erratic manner in front erence. Gen. Hines wanted to know why New York showed the smallest percentage, whereas, he said, there were more vet- erans concentrated around New York City and more demand upon the Vet- erans' Bureau there than in any other point in the country. Mr. Tulley thought the men had either failed in the examinations or were better employed elsewhere, but he promised to submit a much more com- prehensive report on the veterans' em- Ployment situation in the Post Office service throughout the country which hs thought might disclose & somewhat more favorable showing. The committee adjourned until next Wednesday, when Secretary of Labor Davis, Ma). Gen. John A. Lejeune and representatives of veterans' organiza. tions here will be heard. PASTOR FILES PETITION. Rev.
