MacMillan Arctic
Boat. With Egglike
Hull, Is Launched
Bowdoim Which Will Sail in
July for 2 Years" Cruise,
I? Built on New Line? to
Withstand Pressure of Ice
EAST BOOTHRAY, Me... April 9.~
Th? Schooner Bowdoin. built to carry
T)onald B. MacMillan. the explorer,
on his next Arctic voyage in July,
?.vas launched here to-day.
In design and construction the Row.
doin embodies all element.*- i>i" special
provision tor the work ahead of her
suggest???! by the long experience of
MacMillan, who -ovas the chief lieu?
tenant of Peary in his successful ex?
pedition to the" North Tole. Her hull
is egg-shaped with nothing to which
ice can cling. Under sufficient pres?
sure from the ice floes, the Bowdoin,
instead of being crushed, should lift
out of water and be carried along with
?he pack.
So confident is MacMillan of the
-ehooner's ability to cope with the
?'rozen channels of the Far North that
he plans to pass through the danger?
ous Fury and llcc'a strait on the West
Side of Baffin Land where former ex
peditions hare been lost or turned back
His plans include also either a re?
turn by the strait or the circumnavi?
gation ot" Baffin Land after explor?
ing a stretch of 1,000 mile.? oi its
?stern shore on which it is believed
no white man has ever set foot. l!
a said to be the longest strip of im?
plored ?'oas*. in the world.
The Bowdoin is of the knockabout
?...vftliary schooner type equipped with
a 15-horse power crude _ oil burning
engine, an installation which the ex?
plorer hopes will insure him a cruis?
ing radius virtually unlimited by the
?ase of whale oil to supplement the
regular fuel supply.
The staunchness of the hull ft as?

S10,000 Graft Charged
In Chicago Depot Work
labor Official.?? Accused Before
Inquiry Board: Mill Owner
Telia of Alleged Deal
CHICAGO. April 9.?A 510,000 oay
? r - alleged to have been demanded
by labor officials was charged up 1o
the graft column of expenses for the ?
construction of Chicago's new union!
depot, according to H. T. Douglas, chief
engineer for the Chicago & Alton Rail-;
road, who testified to-day before the ,
Daiicy joint legislative committee in?'j
vest!?rating the building situation here. I
"The money was handed out in cold'1
cash," the witness said, in telling of
the obstacles encountered by the rail- ;
roads in the erection of the new station ,
and various roundhouses. . i
The witness testified that building!
operations had been halted many times '
and that the unions had demanded that
?11 labor employed must be obtained in
Chicago.
Another case of alleged graft was
brought to the commission's attention
by (?. B. Anderson, partner of a mill
company which operates an open shojp.
Mr. Anderson told of submitting a bid
of $70,000 for mill work on a building
i.nd said that the contract was later
let to a union mill for $100,000. The
extra $30,000, Mr. Anderson said, was
the price paid by the building owner
for recognizing an agreement between
contractors and carpenters prohibiting
the use of non-union mill products.
Deputy marshals to-day served ?P;
proximately 300 subpoenas for wit?
nesses to appear before the commis?
sion when it reconvenes Monday.
