EXPLORER IS
LOST IN ICE
OF THE ARCTIC
Companion of Walter Wellman
Left in Charge of Camp
Meets Death
Terrific Storm Lasts Eight
Days and Destroys Shed
Built for Airships
TKOMSOE, Norway, June- 27. — Steam
er Arctic of Walter "VVellman's North
I'ole expedition arrived here today
from Spitsbergen with her flags at
Jialfmast, bringing the news that Knud
Johnson, one of the two men who re
mained at the Wellman camp this win
ter, had perished in the ice pack and
that the airship shed liad been de
stroyed by a heavy storm.
May 19 Johnson went with his fel
low watchman, Paul BJoervig, on a
hunting expedition over the pack ice.
The ice was moving and Johnson fell
through a crevasse into the sea. Bjoer
vig held out a long stick for Johnson
to grasp, but he was unconscious.
Bjoervig then ran back to camp and
secured a rope, but when lie returned
Johnson's body had disappeared.
A strong gale from the southwest
up Christmas day and lasted
Mor S days. Bjoervig, .who has passed
many winters in Spltzbergen and has
been with Wellman on every Arctic ex
pedition since 1694. says he has never
seen such a fierce storm as this. It
readied its climax on the night of
December 26. when it entirely destroyed
the airship shed.
Anticipating the possibility that the
airship house might be destroyed Well
man had sent by the Arctic timber and
repairing materials. Arthur Wellman,
who is now In command at the camp,
reports the work of rebuilding the
house has already begun.
If it is found impossible to make the
voyage northward this summer Well
man declares he will continue as long
as it is necessary to attain success.

on a Trip to Coast
LECTURE ON MUSIC
OF EMERALD ISLE
Rev. A. M. Skelly Discusses
Rise and Fall of Irish Song
for Gaelic League
A lecture on the music oftlreland,
given under the auspices of the Gaelic
league in California, by Rev. A. M.
Skelly, O. P., and -illustrated by Irish
songs and airs, sung and played by the
foremost Irish musicians of San Fran
cisco, aroused to patriotic enthusiasm a
crowd which packed the Van Ness the
ater yesterday afternoon. Rev. P. C.
Yorke presided.
Father Skelly^opened his lecture by
reviewing the rise and fall of Irish
music, speaking of -the time when the
land was one of melody, when every
district had its piper and fiddler, and
then of the later* generations, which in
attempting to follow" other nations al
most destroyed the beautiful individual
ism of their own music.
WO Kit OF GAELIC LEAGUE
The speaker said that \the Gaelic
league was endeavoring to collect what
was loft* of the wondrous melody which
In olden days made Ireland known as
the land of song. Of these, he said,
about 3,000 songs ana airs had been
published already, 2,000 would soon be,
but that about 5,000 more it was feared
were altogether lost. He divided Irish
music into songs of war, mirth and
slumber.
After speaking of the war songs he
called upon David Mannlloyd to sing
one of the oldest, "Awake, Awake,
Fianna." This was followed by "The
Battle Hymn." In the same class also
were two marches, played on the pipes
by J. J. Cummings. The first "Brian
Boru's March," composed and sung
after the famous battle of Clontarff,
Father Skelly pointed out, 'contained
not alone the exultation of victory, but
likewise the wailing plaint over the
dead hero Brian Boru, who with his son
went down to death in the battle.
SOXGS OF SORIIOW AXD MIRTH
Mannlloyd also sung the "Lament for
Owen Roe," in memory of the gallant
O'Neil, who was Ireland's only hope
during the Cromwell invasion.
The songs of mirth were numerous
and well given. Among them were
"Shule Aroon," "The Dear Irish Boy"
and the "Spinning Wheel," sung by Mrs.
Daisy Keane-Gillogley; "Colleen Oge
Asthore" and "Little , Red Lark," by
Miss Madge S. Vaughan; "Pearla ,an
Bhrollaigh Bhain" and "Foggy Dew,"
by Miss Loretta Barr.
The songs of slumber were repre
sented by two Irish lullabies sung by
Mrs. Daisy' Keane-Gillogley. The pro
gram was opened and closed with
choral selections by the O'Growney
choral class.
At the opening of the meeting Fran
cis J. Sullivan, »vho was recently In
jured, appeared on the platform and
was given an ovation.

IMMIGRATION HEAD
VISITS LOCAL POST
Daniel J. Keefe, New Commis
sioner, Talks on Problem
of Japanese v
Says Nipponese Government
Seems to Be Living Up to
Agreement
So far as we are able to observe, the
Japanese government is respecting the
agreement* entered into by the presi
dent and the Japanese government re
stricting the Immigration of Japanese,"
said Daniel J. Keefe, United States com
missioner of immigration, in an inter
view at the St. Francis yesterday.
"For the year ending March 1 there
were 3.70S Japanese, landed in conti
nental United States. During the same
period 5,008 departed. It looks " ( as
though the Japanese problem was
working out in the right direction."
This Is the first" official visit of Keefe
to the coast since his appointment as
commissioner last December. He is
visiting all the stations in order to
become acquainted with the immigra
tion officials and familiarize himself
as much as possible with their method^
of doing business. . *v ;->\u25a0">"
Keefe has had an interesting career.
He was born in Cook county, 111., and
spent many years of his life in the
hardest manual labor. Beginning in
1877 he worked with the longshoremen
on the docks of Chicago handling lum
ber and coal. He became active in, the
councils of the international longshore
men, marine and transport workers
and eventually became president of the
organization.
The five years previous to his ap
pointment as commissioner he was sta
tioned in Detroit. In this high position
he won an enviable reputation for fair
ness and ability. When he announced
his intention of supporting Taft in the.
recent election great strength was
added to the cause of the man now,
occupying" the White House. Roose
velt .appreciated the great worth of
Keefe, and finally prevailed upon him
to accept the commlsslonership of the
Immigration bureau.
Since stepping into the office Keefe
has worked many changes and shown
the same seriousness of purpose that
guided him in directing the affairs of
the great union organization.
"The Chinese gave more or less
trouble," said Keefe. "We are doing
what we can to prevent landings in
violation of the law. While here I shall
look Into the conditlpns existing in the
detention theds. I do not care to dis
cuss this matter "until after. I have
made a personal Investigation of the
arrangements made by the Pacific Mail
for housing the aliens In detention.
"When the immigration coming this
vay Is sufficient to warrant it the gov
ernment immigration station on Angel
island will be opened up, but there Is
practically no "immigration here, and
we don't look, for any until the com
pletion of the Panama canal.
"The ilow of Immigration to the
United States was very materially in
creased since the first of the year, and
particularly so sinco the first of March.
The total number arriving In March
was 11*5.000, in April 115,000 In May
104,000. The greatest number of immi
grants came from Italy and southeast
ern Europe. During the last three
months the immigration from southern
Italy amounted to 98,000, or about 27
per cent of the total."
Commissioner Kcefe is accompanied
by F. Watts Jr., connected with the de
partment.

who was found in a dying condition
in Sixth street Thursday morning,
Samuel Burke, alias Joseph Callahan,
was taken into custody yesterday after
noon by Detectives McQuaide and Dris
coll. Coyle died a few minutes after he
was brought to the central emergency
hospital and it was at first be
lieveel that his demise was due

The autopsy performed by Doctor

ing a heavy blow. The autopsy sur
geon expressed it as his opinion that

MYSTERY DEEPENS
IN SIGEL MURDER
Investigation indicates Girl
Slain Day Sooner Than
Date First Fixed
Thorough Search Through New
York's Chinatown Fails to
Find Leon Ling
NEW YORK, June 27. — On the ninth
day after the discovery of Elsie Slgel's
body and presumably the eighteenth
day after the crime was committed, the
New York police are obliged to admit
that they are further than ever from
any clew to the whereabouts of Leon
Ling, the Chinese who Is thought to
have killed her. '
The most significant fact of the case
is that there is absolutely nothing to
Indicate when or how Leon Ling left
the city. However, every house In
Chinatown has been- searched room by
room, and every wall and floor sound
ed. • No .isolated laundry, or restaurant
has been overlooked.
The information coming from New
ark yesterday ihat Leon Ling left the
trunk in a restaurant there has been
substantially confirmed with slight
alterations in details and hours; but
it only makes the case more puzzling.
It appears today from the books of the
Lawrence cab company that LI Sing,
the restaurant keeper, did . accept the
trunk, and that he kept it In his place
for 12 hours, although he has denied it.
Police Investigation shows that the
trunk was taken to Newark between
midnight June 9 and 1 a. m. of June 10,
and remained there until the afternoon
of June 10. This places the time of
the murder a day ahead of the time
previously fixed by the police and on
the game day that the girl disappeared
from home.
Police Raid Chinese Mission
CHICAGO, June 27.— Twenty Chinese
students grouped about six young
women teachers were routed today
from a mission which has been con
ducted for several weeks in the base
ment of a south side apartment build
ing by. three sisters.
The police were roused to action by
the complaints of residents near the
mission. The police informed the sis
ters after their raid that under the
building laws the basement could not
be used as a school, and hinted that
it might be well to close it up entirely.
The . teachers refused to do this and
moved the school upstairs into some
private rooms.
"When the police entered the Chinese
made . breaks for the doors and win
dows. 1 Only six returned for the ad
journed session upstairs.
Suspect Released
JACKSON, Term., June 27.— The Chi
nese arrested yesterday on suspicion
of being Leon Ling was released today.

given up by the physicians and th.it
after being in one of the hospitals
they were told of the hopelessness ot^
the case and he was oh his way 'bade"
to Missouri to die among; his friends.
If was a sad little party. ,Thes had
just been to the office of the Chicago.
Burlington and Qulncy Railroad Com- .
pany to buy their tickets.
E. A. Aludgett was behind the coun-
ter. He has a heart in him and V us
saved the? lives of several people ' by
telling them of Fulton's Renal Com-
pound. When he learned of Rameys
trouble he told him he could 'recover
and to defer his trip until he had seen
us and gave him a card with our ad-
dress, hence his visit.
To make a long story short, we did
not hear from him for over six months,
when Colonel Sanborn. the popular
agent of the Burlington, called and
told us of the happy denouement. It
seems the matter had entirely passed *
their minds when a little woman called
at the office of the Burlington and pur-
chased the long deferred tickets. Said
she: "You do not know me. but it was
I who ; came with my husband who was
so ill with Bright's Disease." She ga\ c
the pleasing information that he had
made a complete recovery and that
they had called three times in an en-
deavor to express their gratitude. All
the eloquence in the \u25a0wrorld could not
have talked them Into buying their
tickets over another ' route and the
Burlington has three steadfast friends
in that little family.
