COOK AFTER POLE HEGOHDS
EXPLORER AGAIN MAKING DASH
FOR FROZEN NORTH.
Goes In Search of Papers and Instru
ments Which He Says Will
Exonerate Him,
Copenhagen? Denmark. Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, discredited In the eyes
of the world by the findings of the
University of Copenhagen in regard to
the explorer's claim of having reached
the north pole, again Is on his way to
the top of tho world.
From Gootlhayn, Greenland, there
came a letter which establishes ap
parently beyond doubt that the Brook
lyn surgeon is making his way north
ward In the effort to find records and
instruments he is said to have left
In the frozen north.
By these records and Instruments
Doctor Cook hopes to establish his
contention that he was at the north
pole a year ahead of Commander Rob
ert E. Peary.
It Is stated In the letter that the
Brooklyn man has expressed himself
as confident of being able to convince
the world he Is entitled to full credit
is the original discoverer of the pole
and to force the scientists at the
University of Copenhagen to reverse
their adverse decision.
In this respect the writer of the
letter asserts that among the resi
dents of Greenland there exists the
belief that every claim made by Doc
tor Cook In cotviTt: v'ta his dash
northward is based upon fact and
that the, explorer will be enabled so
fo p'rove. . -..., -
An American steamer bound south
ward recently dropped anchor In
Goodhaven harbor, says the letter, and
from the captain and crew was ob
tained further confirmation of the re
port that Doctor Cook had started a
second dash northward with the ob
ject of obtaining the proof which he
expects will set him right before the
world.
TAFT PLEADS FOR HARMONY
In Campaign Letter He Applaud"
Work of Congress and Tells Plan
of Fixing Tariff.
New York. President Taft's
keynote letter addressed to Wil
liam B. McKlnley of Illinois, chair
man of the Republican congressional
committee, and was given out by the
New York headquarters of the com
mittee. In It the president defends the
Payne tariff law, but acknowledges
that there are parts of It which may
be amenable to change.
His plan for getting at the Inequali
ties of the law is Investigation by tho
tariff commission, and then revision
by individual schedules. He thinks
that by this means the statute may
be adjusted properly without causing
uneasiness in the business world.
"It seems to me," says Mr. Taft,
"that all Republicans conservative,
progressive and radical may well
abide the situation with respect to the
tariff until evidence now being ac
cumulated shall justify changes in the
rates."
The letter is a straight from the
shoulder defense of h!s administration
and of the congress that aided him in
the formation of the laws recently
passed. These are termed the most
progressive legislation ia history.
Mr. Taft pleads for harmony in the
Republican party and urges all fac
tions to drop their differences and get
together for defense against the com
mon enemy. If this is not done, he
says, the only alternative is Demo
cratic success in the congressional
campaign this fall, and he points to
the difficulties which would be at
tendant upon an administration hand!
capped by an opposing legislative
branch in its efforts to further redeem
tho pledges of its platform.
The president admits there are oth
er promises to keep, but at the same
time he asserts that tho party has
gone far for good under bia guidance.
He outlines the economies which
have been practised during his admin
iteration and in this connection de
clares that the present tariff, In con
Junction with other economies, baa
turned a deficit of $.r)8,0?0,000 Into a
surplus of 126,000,000 in a little ovei
a year's time.
Col. Roosevelt Is Snubbed.
Milwaukee. "In view of the un
erhnlnrlv and unfair uosltion that Mr.
Roosevelt has taken in the discussion
of the movement for which I have

it Is impossible for me to accept the
intended honor." This is a portion oi
a letter of Mayor Kmil Seldel, Social
ist, to Frank Cannon, chairman of the
Mllwnukie Press club reception com
niittee, in which the mayor declines
to nerve on the reception committee
on tho occasion of ti e visit of Colonel

PILOT OF LOZIER DRIVES AT EL
GIN MOST SPECTACULAR
AUTO RACE.
ONLY FOUR CROSS THE TAPE
Livingstone Is Second, Qrelner Third
Winner Averages 62.5 Miles an
Hour, Comes Close to Vanderbllt
Cup Contest Time.
Elgin, III. Ralph Mulford, driving a
Lozler car, won the Elgin national
trophy In a race of 305.03 Miles Satur
day at an average speed of 62.5 miles
an hour before a crowd of 100,000 peo
ple. His driving was of the spectacu
lar kind and when he finished he was
cheered for fully Ave minutes.
Thirty-six times the blond driver
circuited the rough course of country
roads a course of eight miles 2,499
feet, or, roughly, eight and one-halt
miles with but a single stop.
The remarkable feature' of Mul
ford's run lies in the fact that he
approached within three-tenths of a
milo the maximum average In the
classic Vanderbllt cup event of ' a
year ago. Tbat such a run could be
made on country roads, with prac
tically no preparation and for a much
greater distance than that of the
Vanderbllt cup race, Is looked upon
by experts as little short of mar
velous. Clone behind the victorious Lozler
was "Al" Livingstone, driver of a
National, who broke another record In
that bis achievement was that of one
man and one car In two successive
races run at more than a mile a min
ute, In the first of which he was vic
tor, and totaling more than C00 miles.
Livingstone's record as second at
the goal was 60.2 miles an hour for
the entire run of 305.03 miles.
The third man, another driver of a
National, was A. W. Greiner. His av
erage time was 54.4 miles an -hour,
reduced far below those of the other
two winners because of jiuerous
stops for repairs and gasoline.
In addition to the numerous unex
pected obstacles that were met In full
view of the great throng of motor
fans, demanding cool handling of cars
and quick work on the part of the
pilots, Livingstone was menaced by a
danger of which none save his mech
anician and himself was aware. He
entered the raco in a machine which
carried two big cracks in its frame.
Only f iur machines crossed the tape
before the Judges' stand the required
number of times. All of the others,
except two either machines or men
met with accidents that threw them
out of the running before the entire
distance had been covered.

Columbus, O. A mob of 2,000
people battled with the police and
militia Monday night when street car
rioting broke out with fresh fury.
Struck down by the clubs of po
licemen, four were seriously Injured,
one, a deputy sheriff, mistaken for a
rioter, may die. chauffeur for a
police automobile was struck uncr-
sclous with a brick. Feur rioters
were arrested and locked in the city
prison.
The rioting started with the wreck
ing of a Leonard avenue car by dy
namite at East Twentieth street Fol
lowing the explosion a large mob
gathered about the car and assaulted
the nonunion crew with a volley of
bricks' and stones. Though the car
had been thrown from the track, the
windows shattered an Ihe Hoot spiln-"

ductor were injured. They stuck to
the car amid the shower of missiles
until Chief Carter arrived with an
automobile load of police.
BIG CUT IN EXPRESS RATES
Illinois Railroad Commission Demands
That Charges Be Reduced and
Made Uniform.
Springfield, 111. Sweeping reduc
tions In express rates within the state
of Illinois were made here Saturday by
the Illinois railroad and warehouse
commission. Existing tariffs were
slashed in two In many Instances and
on small packages the reduction is in
excess of 50 per cent.
The promulgation of "express tariff
No. 1" by the commission brings the
fight of the state against the express
companies to a crisis. The reduction
Is made effective October 15, and tho
companies are preparing for a finish
fight. They dispute the authority of
the commission to regulate their busi
ness within the state and assert that
either they will ignore the new tariff
schedule or go Into court and get an
injunction restraining the commission
from carrying Its order Into ef
fect. In a lengthy statement which the
commission bands down with its tariff
schedule the business methods of the
express companies are severely ar
raigned. The existing rates are de
clared to be unreasonable and ex
otbltant as well as discriminatory In
character.
Unlike the reductions which have
boon made In some states of a flat
rate of 10 or 20 per cent., the Illinois
commission has prepared a complete
graduated tariff schedule, based on
the weight of packages and on the
distance they are carrted within the
state.

New Bond Required,
The Canton Bridge compnny, which
has a contract to construct a bridge
at Valley, will have to give a bond
other than thnt written by a non
resident agent. The bond was
written by an agent of tho Empire
State Surety company who lives nt
Kansas City, though the compnny
has authority to do business in this
state. The attorney general holds ttie
law has been violated.
Telephone Rate Dispute.
The Independent Telephone com
company of Omaha hus applied to
the state railway commission for
leave to extend Its schedule of rates
to South Omaha, Florence and other
Buburbs of Omaha. The company re
ceived authority two years ago to
publish a schedule applicable to
Omaha. When the company begun
to give similar rates to South
Omaha and Florence the railway
commission called the company's at
tention to the fact that the order of

HOLDING THE WHEAT.
Movement of the New Crop Exceed-i
Ingly Slow.
Four-flths of the Nebraska wheat
crop for 1910 ia still In first hands,
according to estimates furnished by
Lincoln grain dealers. The move
ment of new wheat to market has
been exceetl'ngly slow, they report,
except for ten days at the start of
tho threshing season. Receipts at
the country elevators and ' shipments
to the grain centers were fairly
heavy through the shock threshing
period, but 6ince then deliveries have
become very scarce. Sixty per cent,
of the crop, grain men figure, has
been stacked for fall threshing. Of
the other 40 per cent, which was
threshed from the shock, they think
fully one-half haa been stored In the
bins of farmers who are holding It
for higher prices.
"Several things have combined to
cut down deliveries." said a line
house manager, "While the mala
reason probably Is an unwillingness
to sell on present quotations, the
farmers are busy with their plowing
for fall wheat and cannot find time
to thresh or haul the grain they have
on hand. The rains during the past
two weeks have put the ground Into
fine shape a week, or two earlier
than usual, and the farmers are tak
ing advantage of this condition."
An Instance of the scarcity of
wheat for contract delivery was fur
nished when a dealer telephoned to
all the other firms in Lincoln trying
to buy 6,000 bushels which he had
undertaken to supply a customer. He
offered to pay a fancy price, but was
unable to secure the grain. ,
The glutted state of the flour mar
ket has something to do with the
price of wheat and, In that way, with
the small deliveries of the cereal so
far. In 1909, when the wheat supply
ran short, many of the mills were
caught without an adequate amount
in storage and had to pay the high
est market price to get the cereal.
This year, all the mills filled their
available storage space and ran
ahead of their orders In the manu
facture of flour. During the scare
over the northwest whent crop In
June and July, the mills were heavy
buyers, but as soon as It became evi
dent that there would be nearly a
normal yield they deserted the mar
ket. Since new wheat has been com
ing In the millers have been buying
very nieagerly. The high quality of,
the yield, however, is encouraging'
them to renew normal activity and
ship for export trade.
The Parcels Post.
The parcels post Issue Is one
strongly championed by the farmers'
national congress which will meet In
Lincoln October tf. John M. Stahl of
Chicugo, the legislative agent for this
congress, has been active in behalf of
this measure. Mr. Stahl will attend
the convention In Lincoln. Dozens of
others interested in a new and cheap
method of transposing small pack
ages will also be in Lincoln and the
Idea will bo given a boost. The small
town merchant Is answered by the
congress officials with the statement
that a parcels post on rural routes
would simply mean that the farmer
would telephone his orders dally in
stead of waiting for the week end to
drive into town and buy Ills week's
needs at onco. The advocates of tbw
parcels post say hat the express
companies are the principal oppon.

Corn Crop Outlook.'
Reports on the corn crop from over
the state indicate that an average of
fully two-thirds the normal ' produc
tion will be harvested, and the pro- '
portion may run still better. " In
some localities, a full crop is expect
ed. A Lincoln firm had word from
Its agent at Strang that practically
100 per cent, of a crop would be
gathered there. In the territory
around Lincoln, corn ia in fair shape,
but there are places here and there
over the state where lack of rain
during a long period of hot weather
will result In a small yield. The late
rains have put this cereal Into excel
lent condition, where it wai not too
far gone before.
