Think how many years she has been in building it, of the toil and privatlon endured, of the wounds received, and let no suspi- cion follow their action. The purity. of woman is the salvation of the race, the hope of futrue greatness, the redemption of man.

Then the first boy was brought in again, and with a pencil he traced on the map their route, members- of our party writing upon the chart where, according to the boy’s statement, they had killed deer, bear, some of thelr dogs, seal, walrus and musk-oxen, The second boy was then called iin and the two went over the chart to- gether, the second boy suggesting some changes as noted hereafter. Finally, Panikpah, the father, was again called in to:verify details of the portions of the route with which he was personally familiar. The bulk of the boys’ testimony was not taken by Commander Peary, nor in his presence, a fact that obviates any possible clain that they were awed by him. Certain questions on. .intlependent lines from the direct narrative of the Bskimo boys were suggested by Com- mander Peary to some of us, and were put by us to the Eskimo boys. Still later, Commander Peary asked the Eskimo boys two or three casual questions on minor points ‘that had occurred to him. During the taking of this testimony, it developed that Dr. Cook had told these boys, as he told Mr. Whitney and Billy Pritchard, the cabin boy, that they must not tell Commander Peary or any of us anything about their journey, and the boys stated Dr. Cook had threatened them if they should tell anything. The narrative of these Eskimos Is as follows: They, with Dr. Cook, Francke and nine other Eskimos, left Anoratok, crossed Smith’s Sound to Cape Sabine, slept in Commander Peary’s old house in Payer Harbor, then went through’ Rice Strait to Buchanan Bay. After a her purity and man sinks beneathJfew marches Francke and three Eski- the wave of dispair, with no star to guide his life into a channel of safety.

Bemidji has not responded very liberally with donations to the John- son Memorial Fund, as the printed list of subscriptions shows. There are many patriotic citizens of Be- midji who have probably given to this fund, but who have sent in their “‘mite” through other channels. Bemidjians who have not already contributed to this fund and who desire to de so, are requested to make use of the blank printed else- where in the Pioneer and assist in making a good showing for this city. The money will be forwarded to the treaurer of the commission appointed by Governor Eberhart. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] A St. Paul doctor who advises pastry for breakfast, evidently be- lieves in having the stomach in apple-pie order. The charge is made that many of the blind pigs in southern -prohibi- tion territory are run by sons of Ham. The variety is probably the razor back. We take no stock in the theory of an eminent British physician that profanity is conducive to health, It is our observation that mule-drivers are no healthier than other persons. General Frederick Grant served for several vears in the United States cavalry. He sits a horse well, but how he would look as the chief figure on the national water wagon remains a matter of conjec- ture, It will be some consolation to those of us who have pieces of gas pipe or monkey wrenches sewed up inside us by absent-minded surgeons to know that the federal court of appeals holds the surgeon_ responsi- ble in such cases. The decision should "be a valuable aid to profes- sional memories. TO AVOID BEING WATCHED Brother of Czolgosz Locked Up While Taft Visits Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Oct. 13—“Lock me up; I don’t want to be shadowed all day,” said a clean looking. well dressed laboring man, who walked into Los Angeles police headquarters alone. “What do you want to be locked up for?” asked the captain in charge. The man hesitated, glanced about to see that he was not overheard, and said quietly: “My name is Czolgosz.” Ii was the police captain’s turn to hesitate, but he caught himself cuickly. “Well, go over there and sit down,” he said. And so it happened that the brother of the man who died for hav- icg robbed the nation of the life of one of its presidents voluntarily sat in a police station while President Taft was driven through the streets. mos returned to Anoratok. Dr. Cook, with the others, then pro- ceeded up Flagler Bay, a branch of Buchanan Bay, and crossed Ellesmere Land through the valley pass at the head of Flagler Bay, indicated by Com- mander Peary in 1898, and utilized by Sverdrup in 1899, to the head of Sver- drup’s “Bay Fiord” on the west side of Ellesmere Land. Their route then lay out through this fiord, thence north through Sverdrup’s “Heuerka Sound” and Nansen Strait. On their way they killed musk-oxen and bear, and made caches, arriving eventually at a point on the west side of Nansen Strait (shore of Axel Hei- berg Land of Sverdrup), south of Cape Thomas Hubbard. A cache was formed here and the four Eskimos did not go beyond this point. Two others, Koolootingwah and Inughito, went on one more march with Dr. Cook and the two boys, help- ed to build the snow igloo, then re- turned without sleeping. (These two Eskimos brought back a i letter from Dr. Cook to Francke, dat. ed the 17th of March. The two men rejoined the other four men who had been left behind, and the six returned to Anoratok, arriving May Tth. This information was obtained not from.the two Eskimo boys, but from the six men who returned and from Francke himself, and was known to us in the summer of 1908, when the Roosevelt first arrived at Etah. The information Is inserted here as supplementary to the narrative of the two boys.) After sleeping at the camp where the it o e BNt et last two Eskimos turned back, Dr. enthey, 2Ot "back TG T4nd? ~ Two. 2 “Dia they have any provisions left on their sledges when: they- came back-to land?

From here they went west across the ice, which was level and covered with snow, offering good going, to.a low island which they had seen from the shore of Heiberg Land at Cape Northwest. On this island they camp- eu for one sleep. The size and position of this island. as drawn by the: first ‘boy, was eriti~ clsed by the second boy as belng too large and too far to the west, the sec- ond boy calling the attention of the first to the fact that the position of the island was more mnearly in line with the point where they had left Heiberg Land (Cape Northwes) and the channel between Amund. Ringnes Land and Elle. Ringnes Land. This criticism and correction was ac- cepted by the'first boy, who started to change the position of the Island, but was stopped, as Commander Peary had l . HN | given instructiens that no changes or J erasures were to be made in the route J as drawn by the Eskimos on the chart. I From this island they could see two lands beyond (Sverdrup’s Ellef Ring- es and Amund Ringnes Lands). From the island they journeyed to- ward the left hand one of these two B lands (Amund Ringnes Land), passing a small island which they did not visit. ‘Arriving at the shore of Amund Ringnes Land, the Eskimos Killed a deer as indicated on the chart.

After killing the deer they then trav- elled south along the east side of Ring- nes Land to the point indicated on the chart, where they killed another deer. They then went east across the south part of Crown Prince Gustav Sea to the south end of Heiberg Land, then down through Norwegian Bay, where land; then eastward to theé little bay marked “Eid’s Fiord” on Sverdrip’s chart; then southwest to Hell's Gate and Simmon’s. Peninsula. Here for the first time during the entire journey.-except as already noted off Cape Thomas H. Hubbard, they encountered open water. On this point the boys were clear, emphatic, and un- shakable. They spent a good deal of time in this region, and finally aban- doned thelr dogs and one sledge, Took to their boat, crossed Hell's Gate to North Kent, up into"Norfolk Inlet, then back along the north coast -of ‘| Colin Archer Peninsula to Cape Vera, where they obtained' fresh: elder duck eggs.. Here they cut the remaining sledge off, that 15 shortened it,as it wag awkward to transport with the boat, and near here they killed a walrus. The statement in regard to-the fresh elder:duck ‘eggs permits ‘the approxi- mate determination of the-date at this time as about the firsf of July. (This statement also serves, if indeed any- thing more than the inherent-straight- forwardness and detall of thelr narra- tive were needed, to substantiate the accuracy and-truthfulness of the boys’ statement. This locality of Cape Vera 1s ‘mentioned in Sverdrup’s narrative as-the place where during his stay in that region he obtained eider ducks’ eggs:) From Cape Vera they went on down into .the -southwest. angle of - Jones Sound; where they: killed a seal; thence east along the south coast of the Sound, killing three bears at the poiut noted on the map, to the peninsula known as Cape 8parbo on the map, about midway on the south side of Jones Sound. Here they killed some musk-oxen and, continuing east, killed four more at the place indicated on the chart, and were finally stopped by. the pack ice at the mouth of Jones Sound. From here they turned back to Cape Sparbo, where they wintered and killed many musk-oxen. After the sun returned in 1909 they started, pushing their sledge, across Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thence along the coast to Clarence Head (pass- ing inside of two small islands not shown on the chart, but dfawn on it by the boys), where they killed a bear; thence across the broad bight in the coast to Cadogan Fiord; thence around Cape Isabella and up to Commander Peary’s old house in Payer Harbor near Cape Sabine, where they found a seal cached for them by Panikpah, I-took-a-shoo’s father. From here they crossed Smith Sound on the ice, ar- riving at Anoratok. (Signed) R. E. PEARY, U. 8. N. ROBERT A. BARTLETT. Master S.S. Roosevelt. D. B. MCMILLAN. GEORGE BORUP. ™ MarTHEW A. HENSON.

INTERVIEW WITH KNoX Admits to Secretary of State That He Was Responsible for the Publica- ‘ tion ‘of Certain Articles Referring to the American View of the Chino- Japanese Agreement—State Depart. ment Issues Statement. ‘Washington, Oct. 13.—Secretary of Btate Knox has informed Charles R. Crane, minister designate to China, that he would accept his resignation: Mr. Crane has already advised the secretary that he was prepared to re- sign if the recent developments had made his further service in that posi- tion embarrassing to the department. Mr. Knox has advised President Taft of his action. In annguncing his ac- tlon ‘Mr. Knox gave out the' following rlatement: * “The department of state has been engaged for some time in making the ysual study of the recent agree- ments between China and Japan in relation to Manchuria, from such data bearing upon the situation at is was able to secure, with a view of deter- mining whether there is anything in the agreements adversely affectiug American interests or in conflict with the principle of equal opportunities to which the powers are pledged; a study not yet concluded and in re- spect to which no decision has been reached. While this investigation was proceeding Mr. Crane, the minis- ter to China, came to the department and while there was informed by one of the clerks that such an examina- tion was being made. = “Without consultation with the act- ing secretary or any other responsible officer of the department and with- out the knowledge or authority of any one connected with the depart- ment Mr. Crane gave out a newspa- ber story to the effect that this gov- ernment was preparing to protest against some features of the agree- ments and that the promulgation of the protest only awaited the return of an official who was to formulate it.” The story appeared in a Western paper and at the same time or a day later in the Japanese press and sub- sequently was generally published. Knox Recalls Mr. Crane. “Such were the representations made to me Oct. 1 by the resporsible officers of the department of state, accompanied by their statement that tkey had sufficient reason to belicve them to be trne. Whereupon I sent Mr. Crane at San Francisco the fol- lowing telegram, dated Oct. 8, 1909: “‘You have been charged with the responsibility for the canards recent- ly appearing in the Japanese and American press to the effect that the TUnited States is preparing to pro- test against the Chinese-Tapanese agreement.
