COOK WENT 107 MILES FARTHER | Commander Defends Stand in Refus ing to Carry Doctor’s Instruments —Says Whitney Did Not Say Baggage Was Valuable. Bar Harbor, Me., Sept. 28. — Com: | mander Robert E. Peary, accompanied by his wife, came here from Port- land and within half an hour was in conference with Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the Peary Arc- club, concerning the statement h soon will be made public by | mander Peary to support his con- n that Dr. Frederick A. Cook not reach the pole. Go Over Alleged Evidence. t Ww c did From what can be learned of the | ence, Peary went over every e of his alleged evidence against Cook, dating from the time the klyn explorer began his prepa- | ns to go north more than two | go and until after Peary’s in- | ; with Dr. Cook’s Eskimos at g this material in order as per- 1 counsel for Peary. Juring the trip to Bar Harbor Peary spoke frequently of Harry Whitney. | There might have been some strange ons why Whitney did not go back | Etah in the Jeanie for Dr. Cook’s he said. “I cannot understand anyone could let such records get out of his hands. I would not give my records to my dearest relative. I say again I don’t see how Cook yuld haye turned his stuff over to Vhitney or anybody else. I secured instruments in a bag and the z which I took to the pole I sewed in my clothes and I wore it until I reached Battle Harbor. “I kept my records under watch day and night and was prepared in case the Roosevelt was crushed in the ice, to throw them overboard, that they could float in their cases. you imagine me giving up those rec- | ords to a perfect stranger? Only Trophies, He Was Told. “Harry Whitney did not tell me in Dr. Cook's stuff except kins, a narwhal horn and trophies. I could not see hy I should have carried the stuff | 1en Cook could have taken it. If Dr. Cook’s stuff was of such import- didn’t Whitney go back in and get it? | Dr. Cook’s sledge at Etah ad it over carefully, while MeMillan held up Cook’s and showed them to me. d not examine the snowshoes e why But Referring to Dr. Cook’s things he continue “I think Dr. Cook’s stuff was made up of superfluous instruments. After Whitney had put the stuff ashore I told the mskimos to leave it alone. On my turn imos and talked with them. t I heard I would not credit s claims. The letter that in- ed me that Dr. Cook had claimed was from a whaler named 1 stated. The letter was dated 7, and I received it at Cape Defines Right Proof. would you require of that he had been far was asked. 1 went to the highest i been reached before ld bring back the records he found there,” d Commander Peary. “You will note that Cook’s route to proof rer Peary the pole was 107 miles longer each way than mine. People can make their own deductions whether Dr. Cook with his equipment could have made such a journey. “Dr. Cook claims he went from lati- tude 78% to 90 degrees and back to 76 degrees, just 25%. Then think that the best previous record made by an explorer was a total of 11 de- grees. “I cannot say whether the extra 107 miles each way that Cook says he traveled would have kept me away from the pole or not. It might, and then it might not have; the difficulty in Arctic travel as you proceed north increases not in arithmetical but in | geometrical progression.” 10 Killed in Chicago Wreck. Chicago, Sept. 28—Ten men were killed and six probably fatally injured early this morning when a train south pound for Cincinnati on the Pennsyl- | vania railroad crashed into the ca- boose of a Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul cattle train bound for the stock yards.

PARTY ABANDONED, HE SAYS Arrives Ie Minneapolis and St. Paul After Making Important Speeches on Revenue Law and Postal Sav- Ings Banks Questions. Winona, Minn., Sept. 18.—In the most important utterance he has made since his occupancy of the White House, President Taft last night, in a state which is the het-bed of the “insurgent” movement within the Republican party, defended the Payne tariff bill as the best tariff measure ever passed by a Republican @ongress and hence the best tariff bill the people have ever known. The president boldly asserted that the insurgents who voted against the bill had abandoned the Republican party. “Was it the duty of the member of congress who believed that the bill did not accomplish everything that it ought to accomplish to vote against it?” asked the president. “I am here to justify those who answer this question in the negative. I am not here to defend those who voted for the Payne bill, but to sup- port them. i “To make party government effec- tive the members of that party should surrender their personal predilettions | of comparative less importance. I am not here to criticise those who felt so strongly and believed so intense- ly that it was not their duty to vote against the tariff bill because it did not contain all they thought it should. It was a question for each man to set- tle for himself.” Guest of Twin Cities. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 18.—Presi- dent Taft woke up in Minneapolis this morning, and as he stepped from his car he was greeted by a committee of distinguished citizens who escorted him through lavishly decorated streets to the Minneapolis club for break fast. On arising from the table Mr. Taft began the real activities of his two days’ visit in the twin cities. First on the program was a motor car trip to Fort Snelling, and a review of the regular troops stationed there. ‘Then the president hurried back here and was surrendered temporarily to a committee from St. Paul. The party drove to that city in motor cars and after luncheon at the St. Paul Audi- torium a public reception began that lasted nearly all the afternoon. Sen- ators Clapp and Nelson stood beside Mr. Taft. Favors Postal Savings. Milwaukee, Sept. 18.—In his fair grounds’ speech here President Taft devoted most of his time to the sub- ject of postal savings banks, and aroused a quick response of applause from the crowd when he declared that he stood for a redemption of the prom- ises of the Republican platform for the establishment of such a system of As a preliminary to his more se rious remarks, the president said he ‘agement mee sania a Coan always felt at-loss in facing an audi ence of farmers. “I am city-bred,” he went on, “and while the spirit would be willing, 1 must admit that I couldn’t milk a cow.” The president said he did not want to antagonize the bankers, but he did not believe their opposition to postal banks was well founded. In some parts of the country, especially New England, where for every two citizens there is one savings bank account, Mr. Taft said the need of postal savings was not felt. In other sections where the savings accounts amounted to only one in 157 citizens the need of an encouragement to thrift was acute, Guest of Des Moines. Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 20.—President Taft’s train rolled into the station here just before 8:30 o'clock this morn- ing, and it seemed as if most of the in- habitants of Des Moines were there to welcome him. The chief executive and his party were driven at once to the home of Senator A. B. Cummins, where they were entertained at break- fast. All then proceeded to the state house, where the president reviewed about 5,000 troops of the regular army that had been brought here to par- ticipate in a military tournament that will be the biggest thing of its kind ever held in the United States. Immediately after the review Mr. Taft made a speech from the stand that was listened to with eager inter- est and that frequently called forth enthusiastic applause. Congressman J. A. T. Hull presided over this meet- ing, and on the stand with the presi- dent were Senators Dolliver and Cummins. several Iowa representa- tives and about 150 newspaper men who. bad. been. made. vice-presidents. Aniong the vice-présidents Weré “also the representatives of 20 central la- bor organizations of the state. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Taft was escorted to the state fair grounds where he gave the word that opened the great military tournament. Then he bade farewell to Des Moines and started for Omaha, which he was due to reach about 4:30 o'clock. R El Roghi Put to Death. Fez, Sept. 18.—E!
