4 WONDERFUL STORY
Secretary Bridsman, Of the Peary Arc
tic Club, Talks About the Explorers
Achievement-Was Within 203 Miles
Of the Arctic Pole-lnteresting Story
to Tell When He Reaches Home.

New York, Nov 3.-Altho Peary fall
ed to reach the north Pole, Secretary
Herbert L. Bridgman, of the Peary
Arctic Club, believes his feat ia reach-
ing the fartherst north ought to be a
subject for national rejoicing. Il am
sure the achievement has been the am
bition of every true American, to see
the stars and stripes first at the Arc
tic pole; and that 1t should be Ameri-
cans to reach fartherest north is but
little less gratifying. Peary started
out with the determination to reach the
pole at all hazards, and it is certain
that only the impossible prevented
that. It Is evident that Peary has had
the same experience in getting on
drifting ice and being carried away
from his goal, that other explorers
have had. Probably no other man liv-
ing would have got off SO well as Peary
has He found himself on ice that had
been broken up by a storm and was
taking him in the contrary direction. It
is likely that he and his party went to
the limit OF human endurance before
they gave up, as instanced in the eat
ing Of dogs. Without doubt, the ex-
plorer is now on his way home and
when he reaches here we will hear
wonderful story Peary probably
reached within 203 miles of the north
pole. He surpassed the D'Abruzzi par
ty by about thirty miles. This was
Peary's fifth attempt to reach The pole.

WHERE ROOSEVELT STANDS.
Roots Speech Gives the Lie to Hearst's
Claims.

Washington, Nov. 3.-There is no
shadow of uncertainty in Washington
feeling today that for every word
which Elihu Root spoke on behalf of
the republican party at Utica, N. Y.
Thursday night, he spoke one word
personally for Theodore Roosevelt.
Among party men here who had been
giving expression privately to criti-
ctsm of the presidents course of prac-
teal silence, there is today no linger-
ing trace of disaffection. The presi-
dent spoke thru the secretary of state.
and the spokesman gave credit to his
prompter.
It is held in the capital to be as
sured that the chief cabinet officials
utterance will offset once and for all
time the attempt which Mr. Hearst has
been making to have it appear that his
views and the views of Mr.. Roosevelt
are along parallel lines Of vision. There
is no mistaking the something lying
midway between contempt and abhor-
renee with which the president feels
for Hearst and Hearstism, even tho a
somewhat late campaign day was ta-
ken to give it expression.
They Got Something Strong.
The New Workers were asking daily
for something strong" from the white
house. Now they have it, and unless
some Of the party managers renew the
mistakes that have marked and marred
some of the campaigning methods in
the past, they can use the strength Of
the utterance to the salvation of the
party at the polls.
There was no meat for babes in that
part Of Secretary Roots speech which
to Mr.. Hearst and to the an
archistic results Of red and yellow
journalism. If the New York editor,
after a perusal Of the address of
Thursday night, attempts again to
class himself in views and in methods
with the occupant Of the white house.
it is held by Washington leaders that
the act will be simply one of self-stult-
ifica ton.

COAL LANDS FRAUD
Government to Begin Wholesale Pros
ecutions Against Big Railroad Men,
Who May Get Terms in Prison -
Union Pacific Accused Of Trickery.

Washington. Nov. 3.--Wholesale
criminal prosecutions are to be begun
by the department of justice against
railroad and of the Union Pacific
railroad and of the Union Pacific Coal
Company and others. who are alleged
to be mixed up in the fraudulent ac-
QUESTION of vast coal lands in Utah
and Wyoming.
President Roosevelt has interested
himself personally in the land fraud
cases. and after a careful examination
of the report of the interstate COM
merce commission, which was made di-
rect to him, he has turned over the
papers to the department of justice
with Instructions to act. and act vig-
orously, against all who were shown
to have been concerned in the fraud
ulent entry and fraudulent acquisitions
of lands by the coal company and by
the railroad company.
Attorney j. r. Marchand of the COM
mission and former Judge Elmer e.
Thomas of Omaha are engaged in ar
ranging the evidence for the presenta-
ton to the federal grand juries in at
least two places. Indictments will be
sought for perjury, subcrdinittion OF
perjury and violations of the land acts
under which the coal lands, valued at
many millions of dollars, are claimed
to have been stolen from the govern
ment by the railroad company for the
use of the coal company, which it
owns 1t also is understood that the
government is to make a determined
effort not only to punish a number OF
people who occupy high positions even
to landing them in the penitentiary, II
possible, but also is going to begin
proceedings for the recovery of all
coal lands illegally taken.
The evidence upon which prosecu-
tions will be based was obtained by
the interstate commerce commission in
recent hearings at Omaha, Denver and
at Salt Lake City. These hearings are
to be followed by others which will
soon be begun and which will be di-
rected against other big railroad sys-

Republican Candidate in New

ALL OVER BUT SHOUTING
Chairman Woodruff Rciterates His
Statement Of Friday, and Declares
Earlier Estimates Of PIuraIities Will

Speeches to Be Made Today.

New York, Nov. ST am growing
more and more confident every hour
the people are with me in this fight"
said Charles E. Hughes, republican
starting today on a speaking tour thru
Brooklyn and Manhattan boroughs.
The days program called for nine
speeches by Hughes. Chairman
Woodruff said today the republican
state committee during the campaign
has received several checks from var
ious corporations. In every instance,
he said, the checks have been returned
promptly with the thanks Of the COM
mittee and notice that the law forbids
them to receive any such contribu-
tions Woodruff, reiterated his state
ment of yesterday in which he claim
ed the election was just about all over
but for the shouting, and declared con-
ditions up state were improving hour
ly kilograms received from up state
chairman he said, are to the effect that
the Hughes pluralities will have to be
increased over their first estimates.
Hearst has not contributed one cent
to Tammany Halls campaign fund.-"
said Chas F. Murphy today. I'VE have
not asked him for money and would
not have accepted it if he offered it.
Neither has any other candidate upon
the state ticket contributed to the
Tammany Hall fund" Murphy said 1t is
not the custom for state candidates to
contribute to that fund. The Even
ing Journal, Hearst's evening newspa-
per today estimated Hearst will be
elected governor Tuesday by plur-
ality of 100000. This estimate, the
Journal says, is based upon a careful
canvass Of every county in the state.
Greater New York is claimed by
Hearst by 100000 plurality. The claim
is made that Hearst will receive 96 out
of every 100 votes in Schenectady,
Kings county, is claimed by 10000;

this time of the year But the firmness
of the market is due for the most part
to the fact that dealers are holding
back shipments in anticipation OF the
usual Thanksgiving rush" For this
reason the local dealers are more than
confident that prices will be moderate,
ranging from Is to II cents pound for
the dressed fowl
Another thing that influences the
market at this time is the prevailing
mild weather. While this condition re-
mains turkeys will continue to be
shipped as live fowl. If the weather
changes to colder the poultry men say
the fowls will be shipped ir barrels.
This will affect the market to the ex-
tent of supply and therefore range in
nrice
