GERMANY LEANS
TOJB , COOK
GERMANS RESENT DR. PEARY'S
"HIGH SOUNDING WORDS. "
VILL NOT WIN HIM FRIENDS |
The Commander's Last Interview , (
Sent From Battle Harbor , Has
Created an Unfavorable Impression
In North Germany.
Hamburg , Sept. 1C. Commenting
< n the last Interview with Commander
? enry sent out from 'Battle Harbor ,
> abrader , tne Hamuurger Nachrlch-1
.on says :
"These high sounding words have
made an extremely unpleasant im- .
, > ression , and they will scarcely draw
new friends to Commander Peary. " '
This exemplifies the general tone
of the north German press which
cans in this polar controversy strong-
y to Dr. Cook who Is supported by the
lamburg Geographical society.
DETAILS FROM PEARY.
Battle Harbor , Labrador , Sept. 1C ,
by Wireless Telegraph via Ray , N. F.
"We hoisted the stars and stripes
twice at the north pole , " said Matthew
Ilenson , Commander Robert E. Pea-
y's colored lieutenant and the only
other civilized man , according to
Peary , who ever reached the pole.
Ilenson gave to the Associated.
Press an account of the one night and |
two dnys ho nnd Commnnder Peary
and four Eskimos camped at 90 de-
rces north latitude. Henson person
ally assisted in raising the American
lag , nnd he led the Eskimo In the
cheering nnd gave an extrn cheer for
old glory in the Eskimo tongue , having
spent eighteen years with Commander
Peary , nnd a considerable portion of
that time in the arctics , " said Henson , ,
"I have acquired a knowledge of the '
dialect of the northern Greenland .
o klmos , who probably are superior to .
any other. As Is commonly known to
travelers in the far north , the esklmo
entertains a strange prejudice toward
any foreigners but one , and that Is
therefore necessary for successful
dealing with them to study their unwritten -
written language.
"Wo arrived at the pole Just before
noon April G , the party consisting of
the commander , myself , four esklmos
and thirty-six dogs divided Into two
detachments in number nnd headed
respectively by Commomler Pcnry :
nnd myself. Wo had left the last
t
shipping party nt 87 degrees 53 min
utes where we parted from Cnpt. Bnrt-
lett who wns photographed by the
commander , Captain Bartlett regretted
that ho did not have a British flag to
erect on the spot so that the photo
graph might show this ns the farthest
north to which the banner of Britain
had been advanced.
"I kept a personal diary during this
historic dash across the ice field.
"Henson , who reached the farthest
north with Peary three years ago
said that conditions were about the i I
same at the polo as elsewhere In the 11
arctic circles. All was n solid sea of
Ice with a two foot lead of open
water two miles from the polo. The
csklmos , who went along on the final 11
lap ' weie Ooinh Esluswrh , Ouzncueeah
and Slgloo , the U\o first nanud bring
brothers. Commander Peary tooR
photographs of Henson nnd the cskl
mos waving flags nnd cheering , "
Continuing his story Henson says :
"Tho report is absolutely untrue
that I did not go to the pole. I went
the whole distance , side by side with
the commander and just as far as ho
did.1

last several days.
Dallas Fan Takes Exception.
Dallas , S. D. , Sept. 15. Editor
News : In your paper of September 13
we notice the report of a ball game
between the Dallas and Gregory teams
at Gregory , and also notice the incor
rectness of the report. ThT reporter
claims that Dallas tried to hide a ball
and . such as that. Now , as n matter of
fact , the Dallas team has never offered
any , excuses for defeat or ever belit
tled any of Gregory's players , and as
long ' as wo play ball wo will give the
game credit as well as the player
whenever they deserve it.
Dallas teams have always played
ball , to win and do not need any help
from umpires to get It or to trickery ,
ns Gregory would have you believe.
Every visiting team has left Dallas
with the best kind of treatment and
we hope Gregory can say as much.
Wo honestly hope they will give the
games the right kind of reports and
not try to make fans believe their
neighbors are not posted on the na
tlonal game. A Dallas Fan.
A Slaughter Sale.
Herrlck Press : Cliet Slaughter
came down from Dallas In his Bulck
nuto for a visit with his brothers , Sol
and Jim , at this place Monday. Sol
had an animal ho called a race horse ,
but most people heieabouts thought
him a cross between a telegraph polo
and a giraffe kind of a soft soap , small
pox complexloned Individual with n pac
ing record of 2:20 : , more or less , that
ho had been trying to stick off onto
some one for months past. Chct had an
automobile , n Bulck , of course it was
no common Bulck , but the only best
Bulck ever made. When Greek meets
Greek , who's going to hold the sack ?
Chct got the animal , Sol got the auto
and the riddle Is , who got "skun ? "
When a Slaughter can't find someone
to swap with ho gets dyspeptic , loses
his appetite , withers up nnd blows
away. Hence as an antidote to such
conditions , when the general public
gets slow nnd there's nothing doing
the Slaughter brothers Just swap
around among themselves nnd they nl
keep right on making money every
swap.

TAFT SPEAKS OUT.
Goes On Record Against Restricting
Negro Race.
Washington , Sept. 1C. President
Taft has squarely and unequivocally
planted himself on record , In n local

to discriminate against the negro race.
In answer to n letter asking his opin
ion concerning the franchise amend
ment to the Maryland constitution

party in Maryland , the president says :
"It is deliberately drawn to impose
educational and other qualifications
for the suffrage upon negroes nnd to
exempt everybody else from such qual
ifications.

violation of the spirit of the fifteenth
amendment. It ought to bo voted
down by every one , whether democrat
or republican , who is in favor of n
square deal.

CAR PLANT ROW
AGAIN SERIOUS
NO STREET CARS RUNNING IN
CAR PLANT'S VICINITY.
1,000 STRIKERS ARE THERE'
Thousand Strikers Congregate at
O'Donovan Bridge , Where the Last
Strike Brought a Fatal Riot Situa
tion Again Critical.
Plttsburg , Sept. 1C. On account of
prevailing disorder street cars in the
vicinity of the Pressed Steel Car
works were not running today.
At 9 o'clock more than 1,000 strikers
were congregated at O'Donovan
bridge , the scene of the fatal riot dur
ing the last strike , and empoyes of
the Schoen Wheel plant wore not per
mitted to enter the works.
The strike situation Is again critical.
Plttsburg , Sept. 1C. Another strike
developed at the Pressed Steel Car
company's plant at McKees Rocks ,
when 3,000 foreign employes of the
company refused to work and gath-
eied around the entrance. The strike ,
It Is slated , is not organized and Is
based upon demand that all the bosses
employed at the plant be discharged.
The strike caused much excitement
In nnd about Schoenvllle , but there
was no demonstration aside from the
foreigners assembling about the gate.
Most of the American workmen
went to work as usual. About forty
deputy sheriffs are still on duty at the
works.
Later several hundred Americans
quit work. The absence of the for
eigners , they said , necessitated their
coming out. It Is said the employ
ment of a large number of men , im
ported during the late strike , In the
capacity of bosses and sub-bosses ,
caused the strike. The men claim one
of the agreements by which the last
trouble was settled was that all of the
Imported men should bo discharged.
The American workmen , who loft
the plant , say no work has been ac
complished in the mill. Instead , the
workmen gnthored In a body and 11s
tened to addresses.
