Sept. t Three new ocean records fell to the Lusttanla on ltd latent trip from Queenstown, which ended tonight The Lusltanla made the passage In four days eleven hours and forty-two minutes, thereby clipping three hours and eighteen minutes from Its fastest previous time. It maintained an average speed of 85.85 knots for the entire voyage, beating the Maure tanla's record of 25.84. and, finally, by landing Its passengers at the Cunard pier shortly before S o'olock tonight. It became the first liner to dock on the fourth day out from Queenstown. The Lusltanla and Mauritania heretofore have left Queenstown on Sunday and reached the Ambrose channel lightship too late on Thursday evening to allow them to dock before Friday morning.

Y.,,8ept. t-Dlllon Wallace, the author and explorer, whose companion, Leonldas Hubbard, became lost and starved to death while exploring Lab rador, In an Interview today said that he had Implicit faith In Dr. Frederick A Cook's wonderful feat. Mr. Wallace had almost completed plans for an expedition for the relief of Dr. Cook. In his statement he said: "I knew Dr. Cook well. You may put Implicit trust In bis veracity. When a boy he exhibited signs of a scientific bent. When he could he would read of explorers and study their methods. "It la utterly Impossible that Dr. Cook could merely have found the magnello pole. Kls course would not have permitted that. Any one who has visited the country and atudied conditions there can realise how Impossible it would be for him to reach the magnetlo pole from the course he took. "Dr. Cook started out from Ellssmerelana and his letter to his family was from Cape Thomas Hubbard (named after the father of the explorer who died ilh Wallace) In UOg. From there Cook pushed on to the rra.bll.nil mnA w.nt niirlhwntt. Prnm that point the rest of his direct Journey J LONG TALK WITH GOV. CLARK Territorial Executive Spends Two Hours at Summer Capital.

Secretary of State Knox also was present at the conference. Neither the president nor Secretary Knox would discuss the reported discovery of the north pole today. When the secretary was asked as to what the state department ought to do with the pole under the cir cumstances, he laughingly replied: "Annex It, of course." President Taft had a little touch of sciatica today, which may keep htm off the golf links for the remainder of the week. He first felt It when playing this morn ing. During the afternoon he said he no longer felt the twinges of pain and went for the usual late afternoon automobile ride. Tomorrow morning the president will witness the Bonder Klasse ' races oft Marblehead from the decks of the yacht Sylph. The following statement was given out at the executive offices this afternoon: "President Taft has been tnformed that a telegram haa been published in the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch of the following tenor: ' 'I assure you of my complete sympathy with the plan to honor the Minnesota congressional delegation by a publio rati fication meeting.' "WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.' "The president today requested the press association to announce that no such tel egram was sent by him to the Pioneer Press or to anybody else." Representative Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, sup ported the president m his fight for tariff revision throughout, and even went ao far as to vote against the remainder of the delegation from his -state In favor of free lumber. ...During bis trip, west . the presi dent will stop at Mr. Tawney's home town of Winona, and It haa been reported that he would take occasion to commend Mr, Tawney, although there has been no con firmation of this intention.

It was stated that his condition Is Improving dally. was completed. Thus It will be seen that the magnetic pole, lying in an opposite direction, would have been Impossible of act-ess by Dr. Cook. "I hiv4 no doubt that Dr. Cook has reached the north pole. He Is a man of extreme reliability, fairly scientific and versed In geographical conditions in the Arctic regions. He has always manifested truthfulness In his every report and con cerning explorations In the north he has been very exact. I am certain that he is truthful In this statement "Another point that would tend to help discourage disparaging statements Is thai Dr. Cook's route was directly to Cracked land, ending with a swift dash to the pole. Thus he would avoid the awful eastern drift of the terrible current In the Polar sea, north of Greenland. "Peary undoubtedly would have accom plished what Dr. Cook haa done if he had been better acquainted with the dungerous conditions confronting him in the fioten sea. Peary tried to avoid this condition by going westward, but this was his un doing. Peary made his dash too far east ward. Dr. Cook took advantage of Peary's failure and planned a ruuudabout course."

PAPER MAKERS ARE DIVIDED Palp Men Want Complete Prohibi tion, While Many Paper Men Want Free Market la United States. MONTREAL, Sept.' t W"htle It Is true that there 18 resentment In thla country over the new provisions of the Payne tariff affecting tho pulp and paper industry. It Is felt both at Ottawa and Quebec that nothing can be gained by the Imposition of export duties. The federal government. It Is officially announced, will not take any action of a retaliatory nature In this direc tion and any legislation it may enact will be, directed rather to a final settlement rather than to an aggravation of the dlffl cultles at present In the way. It can be authoritatively annourced that the future action of the Quebeo provincial government will be in line with the policy most accept able to the dominion as a whole, rather than any calculated to meet only the im mediate situation as It Is found In the province of Quebec. Lenses Expire This Year. The existing timber leases In that province expire at the end of the current year. The government will have to decide upon Its policy soon In order that It may be carried Into effect with the granting of the new leases. It is certain that the provincial government will elect to follovs. the example of Ontario and make It a stipulated essential condition of all new leases that there shall be absolutely no exportation of unmanufactured pulp wood to the United States, Insofar as crown lands are concerned. It would require an act of the dominion government to pro hibit exportatlons from other than crown lands. Considerably more than 50 per cent of the unmanufactured pulp wood sent from Quebeo province to the United States Is exported by farmers from their own lands. The provincial government can take action In the matter without calling Par liament together, as the assent of the provincial assembly is not necessary to any change In the conditions of timber leases, though such change would in all probability be aubmttted to It If the premier decided to caU ajate fall aesslon.

EXPEDITION WELL EQUIPPED Financial Backer of Enterprise Talks of Outfitting It IT WAS NO HAPHAZARD AFAIR While- little .Noise Was Made Abont It, the Preparations Were Slost Thorough Ever Made. NEW YORK. Sept. 2. Preparations are afoot here to make the home-coming of ir. Frederick A. Cook an event of national and possibly International Importance, if the plans outlined today by the members of the Arctic club are carried out, the wel come home which lr. Cook will receive In New York will be an ovation in which city, state and nation will take part, while prom inent explorers Cook's former rivals from all parts of tho globe will gather to pay their personal tribute to his achievement. Among the most notable of those who In all probability will be here to greet Dr. Cook on his return will be Lieutenant Shackleton, the Englishman, whose recent explorations In the antarctic, during which, he succeeded In pushing nearer to the south pole than had any nrevlous explorer, made him a figure of world-wide prominence. Members of the Arctic club hope that President Taft may himself be present aa the nation's representative to welcome Dr. Cook. "Such an honor would be no more than fitting," one of them declared today, "In view of the fact that the explorer haa placed the Stars and Stripes on the apex of the world and added perhaps 60,000 square miles to the nation's territory." Arctic "tars to Shine. Among the explorers who are expected to tako a prominent part In tho welcome to Dr. Cook are the duke of the Abruzxl, Dr. Frltjof Nansen, Captain Roald Amundsen, General A. W. Qreoly, Rear Admiral Oeorge Melville, Anthony Flala of this city and Captain Joseph E. Bernler. No definite date has yet been set for Dr. Cook's arrival here. Captain Bradley 8. Onborno, secretary of the Arctic club, said tonight that the , explorer la not ex pected for several weeks. "He Is duo In Copenhagen In three days," said Captain Osborne, "and If he came straight homo would arrive in New York about the middle of September, but his friends believe that he may make several stops on the way home. For one thing, the geographers and scientists of Copenhagen will tender him a welcome. He may go to Christiana to meet Captain Amundsen, the discoverer of the northwest passage; It is likely that he will visit BulKlum, where he haa been decorated for hta scrvloes to science, and It Is scarcely conceivable that the British geographical Bocletlos would allow him to pasa them by on his way home without an invitation to London." Expedition Well Eqelpped. Jrhn R. Bradley, the financial backer of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, explained today that the Brooklyn explorer's suacess In reaching the north pole was not so much the result of chance as the opinions of several polar experts would Indicate. "This was no haphasard expedition," ho said; "no intensified Arctic 'Joy ride' un dertaken on nerve. We went about our preparations for this thing quietly and without brass band accompaniment, but evory imaginable contingency had boenj provided for. "We studied out the mistakes and m!a fortunes of other men who had tried for the pole, hoping to benefit by their errors, and we certainly benefited by their ex amples. "I am not going to tell what tha cost was, but I'll, tell you this muoh: Ona single Item was 5.000 gallons of gasollna and another was two barrels of gum drops. An Esquimaux will travel thirty miles for a gum drop. His sweet tooth, la tha sweetest In the world. "Now, Cook has as much nerve aa any man In the world, I guess; but ho had something besides nerve to carry him through. I'm not trying to take any of the credit; but I want to say that ha had the right kind of an outfit to take him through. Cook will prove to tho satisfac tion of every fair mind that he baa done exactly what he claimed he did." Anthony Flala, commander of tho Ztoglor expedition of 1903-1906. agreed with Mr. Bradley In placing confidence la tha re ports of Dr. Cook's success. "This will not put an end to polar ex peditions," he said today. "Other expe ditions will push their way northward. Dt Cook says he has discovered land in tha far north. If the land Is there others will find it and verify his story. If It la not there his story will be branded aa false. New Territory for United States. ST.
