DYNAMITE BATTERY IN ACTION
Tkrllllv t ef tfce Battl
Asalnat Katsre'a Blockade
Trials that Teat th Plaev
of Pole Ilaatera.
Commander Peary desorlbea In th forth
oomioc Hampton Magaalna the terrific
fltfht of the crew In forcing th Roosevelt
throufc-h a sea packed with iceburrs and
Icefloes. In on case it was necessary to
dynamite the Ice tn order to save th ship
from being crushed.
"I thln'u that none of th members of th
expedition will ever forget the 30th of Au
gust," say Peary. "Th Roosevelt . was
kicked about the floes as If she had be?n
a foot ball. The gam began about i
o'clock In th morning. I was in my cab'n
trying to get a little sleep with my clothes
on, for I had not dared to remove them
fur a week. My revt was cut short by
shock so .violent that before I realised
that anything had happened I found my.
relf on deck a deck that Inclined to star
board com twelve or fifteen degrees. I
run, or rather, climbed the deck to th
port side and saw what had happened. A
big floe rushing past with the current had
picked up the grounded berg to which w
wer attached by the hawsers and dashed
it against th Roosevelt and clear along
her port side, as if that thousand-ton bars
had been a toy. The. berg brought' up
gainst another on just aft of us, and
th Roosevelt slipped . from . between th
two Ilk a greased pig.
Thrills la Succession.
"As soon as the ' pressure .was , relaxed
and th ship regained an even- keel,, we
discovered that the cable which had been
attached to the floe berg at th stern had
beeome entangled with the propeller. It
was a time for lightning thought and ac
tion; but by attaching a heavier eable.to
the parted one and taking- a. hitch around
th steam capstafn, w finally, disentangled
........ ,
"This exoltement was no sooner over
than a great berg that was passing near
us split in two of Its own accord, a cube
of some twenty-five or thirty feet drop,
ping toward the ship, and Just missing our
quarter by only a foot or two. "Bergs to
th right of them, bergs to th .left -of
them, bergs on top of them.' I heart) some
body say, as we caught our breaths at this
miraculous escape. ;,. "
"The ship Was now' quite at th merry
of th drifting Ice, and with th pressure
from the outer pack th Roosevelt again
careened .to starboard. I knew that If It
were driven any higher on to .th shore
we would have to discharge a large part
of . the coal In order to lighten It ' effi
ciently to get It off again. 8o I decided
to dynamite th lc. , ,
v Uraaaslte Batteries la Aetloa.
"I told Bartlett to get out. his batteries
end dynamite and to-smash the lc be
tween th Roosevelt and the heavy , floes
outride, making a soft cushion for ths
ship to rest on. Tha batteries wer brought
up from the laaaret. one of the dynamite
bos lifted out with ut!on. and Bartlett
and I looked for th best places In th lc
for the charges.
"Several sticks of dynamite were
wrapped In pieces of old bagging and fast
ened on th end of long spruce poles,
which we had brought along specially for
this purpose. A wire from the battery
had. of course, en connected with one
of the primers burled in the dynamite.
Pole, wire and dynamite wer thrust down
through a- crack In' the Ice at several
places In th adjacent floe. The other end
of each wire was then connected with the
battery, every one got away to a respect
ful distance pn th far side of the deck,
and a quick, sharp push on the plunger of
th battery sent the electrlo current along
the wires.
"Rip! bang! boom! The ship shook like
a dish of Jelly, and a column of water and
pieces of Ice went flying a hundred feet
Into th air, geyser fashion. The pressure
of th lc against the ship being thus re
moved. It righted itself and lay quietly
on its cushion of crushed ice waiting for
whatever -might happen next."

PROPOSED LAW REFORMS
Flan to Substitute Principle! for
Precedents in Legal Practice.
PE0FESSI0N WELCOMES THE PLAN
Nebraakaas Lend Their Sapport
aad Approval t a Work
of Surpassing; Import-aace.
The proposed American corpus Juris, de
signed "as an expression of th law in the
words of master minds, from which all
searchers may draw inspiration," Is , the
subject of an extended fxplanation and
discussion In th current Issue of the Green
Bag. Tbo work Is to be a compilation of
legal principles drawn from American laws
and court decision, formulated by - th
best legal talent available. Endorsement
of the project by the legal profession Is
well nigh unanimous, scores of letters of
approval being printed In connection with
th discussion. Among th endorsers are
General Charles F. Manderson of Omaha,
Judge Prank Irvine, formerly on th dis
trict and supreme bench of Nebraeka, now
doan of the law school of Cornell univer
sity, and Judge' Rosco Found,' formerly
of the Nebraska supreme court, now pro
fessor of law In the Chicago university.
Tbetr letters follow:.
Gesersl Maadersoa.
Tour proposition Is to bring order out of
chaos, foi ' eannot Imagine anything more
chaotic than the present condition of the
law In this country.
With th conflict and variance In th laws
of different states and the constant dis
turbances that arise because of this vari
ance there seems to be an absolute neces
sity for somo uniformity of legislation upon
all subjects that affect the coramrw.
welfare and domestlo happiness of the peo
ple ef the United States. Our - empires
within an empire make frequently disas
trous and ruinous conflict, and there Is no
remedy for evils that increase as time goes
on except an education not only of the legal
profession, but of the masses, to the neces
sity of greater ' uniformity .in legislation.
The American Bar. association has nad this
tn view for years... but, unfortunately, lias
been able to accomplish very little to bring
about tha much needed result.
Tour project Is worthy of all credit and
aid, and I greatly hope that before much
time elapses your effort will be crowned
with full success. Anything that I can da
at any time to forward this excellent work
I will gladly da. , .
My own opinion has been so fully cov
ered by those with whom you have bad
correspondence that I feel that notUIng .is
needed from ma except to endorse what has
been so well put by my friend, Everett P.
Wheeler, Esq., when he quotes from Irri
Bacon In saying; "That a country In which
the laws are Indefinite and uncertain ' Is
subject to an Iran servitude." We canbe
rid of some of this servitude by uniformity
of state legislation, and a definite and well
settled doctrine firmly established showing
the distinction between legislation that
should be extended to the states and that
that should come from the congress of the
United 8tates. i
I have examined with some care your
plan for a corpus Juris. There cannot be
the slightest doubt that such a work well
carried out would be the greatest contri
bution ever made to our low. While the In
estimable value to the profession, its chief
advantage would accrue to the people as a
whole who suffer more than any except
i ikn'yeis realise from the present enormous
volume and confused state of the pre
cedents from which th law In a given case
j treii- r developed.
The undertaking Is colossal and beset
by difficulties. On the one hand, the
work must be authoritative. Comparatively
little good would be accomplished by a
mjr comprehensive treatise on the laWT
which would relegate us to the same study
of old cases as the only real authority.
The work should solve th problem so long
confronting us and arising out of the
enormous and Indeed appalling growth of
the reports. We cannot hope for any
work which would enable us to throw on
the Junk pile the thousands of accumulated
volume, but we may reasonably hope for
a work which will render a resort to them
rarely necessary, and when necessary at
all chiefly for historical purposes. On, th
other hand, legislative codification lead
us Into a new and inner mase without
getting us out of th old one. The au
thority must be derived not from legislative
flat but from the character of th work
Itself. ' '
Jadge Peaad.
.'. I do not doubt that such a work a you
propose, ' though difficult of execution,
because It would be a pioneer work In the
system of our Anglo-American law. Is en
tirely feasible. The utility of the work la
beyond dispute, and, I might fairly aay,
beyond measure.
Our Jurisprudence of rules is breaklna
down obviously, and In the procens Is In
juring seriously publlo respect for law, A
great deal of our law In books Is not law
In action, not only because th mass of
legal detail Is too cumbrous for actual ad
ministration, but often because, at he
crisis of deolston Judges cannot but fe!
that' they ought not to apply th mechan
ical details they find In the books in the
hard and fast way that rules, as dlstlr.ct
from principles, are to be applied. But
wher are they to . find the principle?
There are suggestions here and there, and
a powerful , Judge now and then draws a
principle from the mans of rules. In gen
eral, however, the ; courts are too offen
forced to reach a conclusion on the larae
equities of the cause and forage in th
books for cases to support It. This makes
our written opinions a mere ritual. Sooner
or later a system of our law must com.
Such a work must be done for Its own
ak. It must com from (a) the gradual,
but extremely slow progress of acsdemto
research and publication, from (b) a state
appointed commission or (') from soma
private , foundation. Commerclul enter
prise will demand Immediate profits and
this work roust be dune thoroughly fur
ultimate not Immediate results. The work
of the commissioners on uniform state
laws, for example, will nut sell; but
shall estimate Its value?
. it nas oeen said that the crime of a
Bonaparte and the blcutry of a Justinian
will be forgotten ' because at their bidding
the, rough places In the way of Justice
were made smooth. The patron under
whose auspices the way of Amerloari jus
tice shall be made smooth will htA.f done
no less and w!U be the greater In that
he devoted his own whlls they com
manded th resources of states.
