Thousands of Persons Welcomed Phy.
sician Back, and After Parade He
Held a Reception—Peary Arrives at
Sydney on His Way to New York.
New York, Sept. 21.—Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, who unfurled the American
flag at the North Pole April 21, 1908,
arrived in Brooklyn Tuesday. When
the steamship Oscar IL arrived at
quarantine Dr. Cook met his wife and
two children and the executive com-
mittee of the Arctic Club of America.
After exchanging the party
was transferred to the steamboat Re-
public, and the explorer was cheered
to the echo by the 1000 or more per-
sons on board. The Republic then pro-
ceeded to Brooklyn. Here thousands
were awaiting his arrival, and amid
music, cheering and a gorgeous
play of flags and bunting the parad
was formed. in an
Dr. Cook bowed and left and
quently lifted his hat in response
cheers. A triumphal arch has
erected opposite his old home,
which the parade of automobiles, wi
the explorer in the foremost, passed
enroute to the Bushwick club. There
his old friends and neighbors felici-
tated him.
A reception was held at the Bush-
wick club, which is in Dr. Cook’s home
section of Brooklyn, and he was plied
with questions about his trip as he
shook hands with thousands of his
friends and neighbors.
Later Dr. Cook joined his family
at the Waldorf-Astoria. His plans
thereafter, with the exception of being
the guest of honor at the banquet of
the Arctic Club of America, to be held
at the Waldorf-Astoria on Thursday
night, have not been announced.
Dr. Cook appears to exercise great
gelf-restraint, but can hardly repress
a natural annoyance at impeachment
of his veracity, without proofs. He re-
quested the Associated Press to make
public the following:
“Commander Peary has as yet given
to the world no proofs of his own case.
My claim has been fully recognized
by Denmark and the king of Sweden;
the president of the United States of
America has wired me his confidence;
my claim has been accepted by the
International Bureau for Polar Re-
gearch at Brussels; most of the geo-
graphical societies of Europe have sent
me congratulations, which means faith
and acceptance for the present, and
lh!
almost every explorer of note has come |
forward with warm and friendly ap-
proval.
“A specific record of my journey is |
accessible to all, and every one who
reads can decide for himself. When
Peary publishes a similar report, then
our cases are parallel. Why should
Peary be allowed to make himself a
self-appointed dictator of my affairs?
In justice to himself, in justice to the
world and guard the honor of the na-
tional prestige, he should be compelled
to prove his own case; he should pub-
lish at once a preliminary narrative, to
be compared with mine, and let fair.
minded people ponder over the matte.
while the final records by which our
case may eventually be proved are be
ing prepared.
“I know Peary the explorer. As such
he is a hero in Arctic annals and de-
serves the credit of a long and hard
record. To Peary the explorer I arm
still willing to tip my hat, but Peary’s
unfounded accusations have disclosed
another side to his character which
will never be forgotten.”
PEARY AT SYDNEY
Large Crowds Welcomed Explorer and
Business Was Suspended.
Sydney, N. S., Sept. 21.—Commander
Robert E. Peary arrived here on the
Roosevelt on his return to New
York. News that Peary was nearing
port caused a general cessation of
business in the town. Large crowd:
swarmed into the streets and to the
water front to welcome the explorer.
All manner of water craft, from yachts
to sailboats, sporting their colors, mov-
ed down the bay when three blasts of
the whistle were heard, which was
the signal that the Roosevelt was ap-
proaching.
The tug C. M. Winch, gaily decorat-
ed with flags, conveyed the official wel-
coming party down the bay at an early
hour. This party included the mayor
of Sydney, Wallace Richardson; the
heads of the city departments and
other prominent officials,
Mrs. Peary, her daughter Marie and
little Robert E. Peary met the com:
mander at Paul's Island, having sailed
north on the steam yacht Sheelah,
owned by James Ross, president of
the Dominion Coal company.
Knew Dr. Cook Reached Pole.
One of the men on the Roosevelt
knew long ago that Dr. Cook had
claimed to have reached the pole. He
is William Pritchard, cabin boy and
assistant cook on the Roosevelt, who
remained at Annatok with Boatswain
Murphy to guard the stores. Pritchard
had not spoken to any one on board
of Dr. Cook's achievement, but when
tionably Harry Whitney, who was a
the storehouse when Dr. Cook return
ed from his dash with the two Es
kimos, is conversant with all the facts
Whitney did not disclose this inter
esting piece of news to Commande:
Peary, and Pritchard kept it fron
Peary during the entire voyage of tbh
Roosevelt to Battsy Harbor.
Pritchard said that he was at the
Prison Filled With Vermin.
Conditions at the western peniten-
tiary of Pennsylvania at Allegheny
have been found to be so distressing
and intolerable as to require the im-
mediate removal of all the federal
prisoners whose transfer is practica-
ble, and to demand the most serious
consideration of the proper public au-
thorities. This is disclosed in the re-
port of C. H. McGlasson, of the depart-
ment of prisons and prisoners, to the
attorney general at Washington.
At the direction of the attorney gen-
eral, Wade Ellis, acting head of t!-
department of justice, made known the
results of the investigation which Mr.
McGlasson conducted, following the re-
ports published by the newspapers sev
eral weeks ago, criticising the condi
tions at the penitentiary. The federal
authorities are guarded in their state
ments, as it is not their desire to re
flect on the state officials of Pennsyl-
vania or any others who may be re
sponsible for the conditions at the in
stitution.
“The population on the first of this
month was 1301,” says Mr. Ellis in his
statement. Of this number more than
half are at all times idle, and more
than half are confined two in a cell
The cells are unusually small, and the
| cots take up almost the entire length
| of each, the room for moving about be-
| ing a space eight feet long and eighteen
| inches wide. There are more than 300
| prisoners suffering from tuberculosis,
| and seventy-nine cells are now occu
| pled by those showing advanced stages
| of this disease. The prison is filled
| with vermin of all kinds, although the
| officials are making an effort to eradi-
| cate them. An unusualiy lize nuinber
| of the prisoners are of the lowest pos-
| gible character, mentally and morally,
and there is but one generzl mess pro
vided for all. Almost universal com-
plaint is made about the quality of
food served, especially the meats.”

Baltimore, Sept.’ 21.—Three southern
Democratic politicians with nation:
reputations as fighters of colored me:
have been invited by Chairman Mur
ray Vandiver, of the Democratic stat
central committee, to come to Mary
land this fall and help in the fight ic

men are: Ex-Governor James K. Va:
daman, of Mississippi; . United State
Senator William J. Stone, of Missour
and Congressman J. Thomas Heflin, o
Alabama.
In addition to these invitations

Says They Who Voted Against Payne
Bill Have Abandoned the Republican
Party—Shows Revision Was Down-
“l am
swer this question in the negative. |
am not here to defend those who voted
for the Payne bill, but to support
them.”
To this statement the crowd in the
Winona Opera House responded with
a cheer which could be heard far down
the street. It was shouted by the ad-
herents of Represtntative James A.
Tawney, of this district, the chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tions, who has been on the defensive
ever since the adjournment of congress
because he did not vote with the other
members of the delegation from Min:
nesota, both in the house and senate,
against the bill
crosse, Wis., and accompanied him to
this city, his home town. It had been
reported for some time that the presi
dent intended defending Mr. Tawney
for his party regularity, but there were
gone to predict that the president
would go so far as he did in charac
terizing the position taken by the in
surgent senators and representative.
The president had met Senator Lu
Follette, of Wisconsin, one of the lea:
ers of the insurgent movement, at Mi!
waukee and had greeted him quite cor-
dially.
“To make party government effec
tive,” said the president, “the members
of that party should surrender their
personal predilections of comparative
less importance. I am not here to
criticise those who felt so strongly
and believed so intensely that it war
their duty to vote against the tarif
bill because it did not contain all they
thought it should.”
Further along the president gave n
final word to the insurgents.
“l am glad to see that those who
voted against the bill still insist tha!
they are Republicans and that they io
tend to keep up the fight for still lower
tariff rates within the party. That is
their right and in their view of things
is their duty.”
President Taft's speech was a re
markably plain spoken defense of the
Payne bill. He has been met with many
queries since the beginning of his trip
as to when he intended taking up the
subject of the tariff.
The statement contained onl
enough figures to make clear a poin!
which the president has dwelt upon
for some time in his confidential talks
that the measure of the new bill should
be taken by the amount of reductions
made on articles of general consump
tion compared to the increases on ar
ticles little used. The president, bv
means of a table prepared at his re
quast by Mr. Payne, showed that the
tariff had been increased on article:
whose consumption in this country
amounts yearly to $651,000,000, an
that of this amount $379,000,000 is rep
resented by such luxuries as silks.
wines, liquors, perfumes and pomades.
leaving a balance of $272,000,000 rej:
resenting increases on articles not
luxuries. Afainst this the presiden:
set, with great emphasis in his deliv
ery, the fact that the tariff had been
reduced on articles, mostly necessities,
whose consumption in this country
amounts annually to $5,000,000,000.
Harriman Leaves All to His Wife.
In three terse sentences, comprising
all told 104 words, Edward H. Harri
man, who died a week ago, has devised
his vast , estimated variously at
from $100;000,000 to $200,000,000, en-
tirely to his wife.
Mrs. Harriman is given absolute
control over the vast estate, being ap-
pointed sole executrix, making her the
richest woman in the world.
The will was filled at Goshen, the
county seat of Orange county, N. Y.,
in which Mr. Harriman’s residence at
Arden is located. At the same time
a copy was made public in New York.
There is reason to believe that his
tives, have all been substantially pro-
vided for in gifts out of hand and trust
funds set aside by Mr. Harriman dur
ing his lifetime.
Fatally Injured In Railroad Car.
New York, Sept. 21. — Mrs. John
Lloyd, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was fa-

She was ca-ried from the train uncon-
