Milton IjPgan, Sr., foreman and sole survivor l tho famous Armstrong murder Jurv In which Abraham Lin coln used an almanac with a moon light sketch to free a mfhk charged wiih murder at Peardstown, 111., died at Boone. la., Friday, aged 99. The trial In which Abraham Lin coln resorted to the use of an almanac to free his client was that of William Buff Armstrong. negro accused of the nuirdi'r' of James Metzker. Lin coln was a staunch believer in the in nocence of the accused and wrote n letter to the man's mother In which he expressed that opinion. In thin letter he offered his legal services gratis In return for kindnesses shown when in hdverse circumstances. In response to Lincoln's question ing the accusing witness declared that the fatal thrust was made between 9 and 10 o'clock In the evening. The witness also declared he was positive of the m:;n who did the deed because his vision was clear owing to the biivht moonll.:ht. In reviewing the testimony he called attention to the discrepancies In the statement of the witness which fce showed to be Incon sistent. "And he estitled," Lincoln ex claimed, "that the moon was shining brightly when the deed was perpetrat ed, when the moon did not appear on that night, as your honor's almanac will show, until nn hour or more la ter, and consequently the whole story Is a fabrication."

'EARY MEETS MEYER First Time He Saw Secretary ol Navy Since Return From Fole, Mr. Meyer Said Navy Department Could Take No Official Cognizance of the Expedition Proposed by the Peary Arctic Club and the National Geographic Society Will Ask Con Ores to Finance an Expedition to Rediscover Wilkea Land. Washington, Fob. 15. Robert E. Peary, the Arcclc explorer, had a con ference with Secretary of the Navy Meyer. It was the tlrst time Mr. Penry had met his superior officer since he returned from his polar trip. They discussed the plans which arc being prepared for two Antarctic ex peditious. Secretary .Meyer inform ed Mr. Peary that the navy depart ment could take no official cognizance of the expedition proposed under the Joint auspices of the Peary Arctic club and the National Geographic so ciety. Mr. Meyer said he was considering the advisability, however, of asking congress to make an adequate appro priation to cover the expenses of an expedition to rediscover Wilkes land, discovered in 1S40 by Lieutenant Thomas Wiikes. an American naval officer, and named in his honor, a dii covfry on which pubsequent explorers In those. regions have cast doubt. If the expedition is carried out, tidal, magnetic niid meteorogical ol servatious will also be made in that region. To Make Addresses In Europe. Mr. Peary will remain here If hU standing is accorded by congress to him as a rear admiral. Since July, 1908, he has been on special duty un der the coast snd geodetic survey. Ha will leave Washington for Europ? whero he will make addresses belore several scientific societies. If congress fulls to enact a law plac ing Mr. P-ary on the retired list as a civil eng'neer with the rank of rear admiral it Is probable that he will re sume active duty in the civil engineer corps of the navy on July 1 next. An effort will be made to settle the Peary row in congress when the house committee on naval affairs meets to decide whether or not the action of the sub-committee reporting adverse ly on bills Introduced to elevate and retire Civil Engineer Peary with the rank of rear admiral will he sus tained. Meanwhile there are pouring In on Representative Roberts (Muss.) and other members of the house many let ters, some of them endorsing the ac tion of the sub-cominlttee and others condemning It. The warmest thing in the way of a communication that has been received by Representative Rob erts up to date is from Captain B. S. Osbon of 123 East 23rd street. New York, who thinks the sub-committee did just what It .should have done. One of the paragraphs In this letter reads: Thinks Sub-Committee Is Right. "To give this (Peary) egoist the rank of rear admiral would have been a blot on the records of congress and an Insult to the navy of the United States and would have disgusted mil lions of our citizens who have no care In this alleged 'pole hunter' and Arctic fur trader and story leller, who for neaily a quarter of a century has been living off the people and sailing under a naval rank to which he had no legal right and for which he should have been severely reprimanded by the navy depaitment long ago." Captain Osbon was himself once an explorer. Another letter to Rep resentative Roberts Is from an offi cer of the Maine naval reserve who lives In Portland. He says among other things: "Incidentally if Mr. Peary must be shown some unprecedented and ridiculous honor, why not make hitn king of the Sandwich islands with a life tenure and a privilege to practice his Insufferable set-axalta-tion on the natives. They might en sure It with more grace than the aver age American." There are many other letters tak ing an opposite view. One from Bos ton says: "Your amazing statement about Lieutenant Peary seems incom prehensible. Do you regard the navy only for target practice, as Dewey u Manila .wllh men as targets? Nations are wailing upon the Vnlted States by courtesy before showering honors on Peary, llershel whs knighted for finding Uranus, one thousand million yIIpr further away than the North fole. and one thousand million times more useless by your count, "Peary has been the greatest naval pian In the United States since 1777.

The clerk will go to Albany tonight with the register ar,1 will prove that Mr. Moe and I were in Auburn on the night of April 23, 1001, on our way back from Albany." When someone suggested that the senator might miss his Syracuse train he said. "Never mind, boys, we are not due at Albany until 11 o'clock to morrow morning and I will be there to keep them shaking." SEARCH FOR MISSING NINA Naval Tug Believed to Have Been Lost OK the Coast of Virginia. Washington, Feb. 15. The search for the naval tug Nina, which has not been heard from since she left the Norfolk npvyyard for Boston on. Sun day morning, Feb. 6, was continued without success by half a dozen or more naval vessels and revenue cut ters.

The wind was blowing a gale from the northwest and in creasing In velocity. The sea and spray, lie added, wera breaking over the Nina's pilot house, A? soon pi Ihe Information was re ceived from l ieutenant Commander Kdla that the Nina was lust seen In the vicinity of ling Island Instructions ftero sent by wlrolesa to the battle ship IOiilsiana and the cruiser Salem which are cruising off the month of the CheFipeako bay, directing them to concentrate their search for the Nina In the vicinity of Hog island.
