It Is further announced that most of the cars are to be used on the Wabash main lines west of Toledo and this coupled with the fact that the Harri man Jurisdiction lias hitherto been supposed to extend only over the Gould roads east of Toledo leads to the belief that Harriman has taken a hand in handling every mile of the Gould roads and that lie will prac tically name the successor to Presi dent Frederick Delano of the Wabash.

At the conclusion of his ad dress Mr. Taft was surrounded by members of the audience, who present ed themselves for introduction.

AUGUSTA AND GARDINER GOVERNOR’S DAY AT CAMP COBB THURSDAY. Rain Interferes Seriously With the Day’s Program-Attack on Camp Possible Early This Morning. SCENE AT THE SUTLER’S CAMP. o v k nxous day at Camp Cobb was not a failure yes terday, because tile ready wit and fine exe cutive ability of the officers of the Maine National Guard came to the r e s c u e and provided for tlie unavoidable changes in the program. That the occasion was not a Hat failure, was not due to the favorableness of the weather condi tions, because they were decidedly un favorable. I-'irst it rained, and then it didn't rain, and sandwiched in be tween were spells when one could not tell whether it was raining or not. Morning drill was fairly successful, but owing to the condition of the ground, no unusual problems were at tempted. ERIGHSEN DEAD. Danish Explorer Perishes In Arctic Snow Storm While Trying to Cross Eternal Ice Cap of Greenland. Expedition to Frozen North Other wise Successful. Copenhagen, August G.—Mylius Erichson, the Danish explorer, has met his death in the far North. Aeeording to information just received in a tel egram to the committee of the Den mark -Greenland expedition, Erichson and two of his companions that sailed with him from Copenhagen June 24, lltOfi, to the unexplored regions of the northeastern coast of Greenland, per ished in a snowstorm. The three men were on an expedition over the ice when disaster overtook them. Otherwise the exploring party has been successful. Large tracts of un known iand have been mapped out and the entire northeastern coast of Greenland has been charted. A later telegram states that Ei'ichsen anil tils* companions were on an tee 111''' wlien they were ovettaken by the snow storm. The line drifted out to sea. The provisions of the explorers soon iioeame exhausted and they drifted for some Jays, growing weaker and weaker. When the floe was finally driven hack to land the three men did not have strength to re turn to the station. They must have per ished on the shore. The Esquimau who brought in the. news of the disashr ar rived at the station in a dying condition and succumbed immediately after making his report. Myllus Erichson devoted several years to the exploration of Greenland. His first expedition returned from that country in November, 1004, after two years and a half in the North. The expedition that sailed from Copenhagen two years ago was supported financial ly by the Danish government. Mr. Eriehson planned on his last trip and this was the most adven terous portion of his undertaking, to cross the eternal ice cap of Greenland at its broadest part by means of snow shoos, dog sledges and automobile s. Ho purposed to set out about March, 100X, accompanied by one of his staff and two Greenlanders, belonging to tin crew and to proceed to the unknown Ice dome of the interior which rises at its highest to 10.000 feet above the (Continued on Page Ten.)

H of Waterville, Capt. Harold E. Pepper; Co. M of Au gusta, Capt. Edward C. Perry.

The attacking party was sent out. last night, and consisted of the 3d. bat (Continucd on Page Nine.) VISIT TO POPE. American Pilgrims Re ceived at the Vatican.
