GENERAL WOOD DEFENDS
 THE JOINT .MANEUvERs
REPLY TO WAR DEPARTMENT
 STATEMENT.
Report of Officers Show There Was
 Little Sickness In Massa- ehusetts Campaign

New York, oct. 7.-Critics of the joint maneuvers of the regular army and the national guard who have been predicting that the Boston cam paign of last summer would be the last of such joint operations because the hardship and suffering of the mill itiamen were out of all proportion to to the lessons learned. were answered today by Major-General Leonard Wood. commanding the department of the East
 General Wood said: "The statement purporting to come from some one con- nected with the war department at Washington relating to the hardship and suffering of the men engaged in the maneuvers in Massachusetts has no foundation. The report. of Gen eral William A. Pew, commanding the Blue division, which has just reached me, says The health of the men during the week, under unusually severe weather conditions was excellent. In the entire division there were under one hundred cases treated and those were mostly of minor injuries, sore feet and the like
 "The report of Major J. B. McCook chief surgeon of the Connecticut brig ade army, says in regard to the health of the men There was almost no sick ness and few accidents and what we had. as a rule, amounted to nothing
 ''The lessons learned were invalu- able, one of them is that we have not enough regulars or militiamen ready for mobilization to defend the city against such an attack as was made against Boston. The other is. it builds up a spirit of cooperation between the regular army and the na- tional guard"

Both Proposed Societies
 Which Will Examine Record STATEMENT OF AN EXPLORER
He Suggests That the Mat ter Be Left to An Un- biased Swiss Geographi- cal Society - Missionary Attacks Peary

Copenhagen, Oct. 7-Capt C. F. Borchgrevink. the Antarctic explorer. who wintered in the southern polar region in 1900 and is about to under take another expedition there, ex- pressed opposition to the proposed submission of Cooks records to the University of Copenhagen and a com mittee of the American Geographical society. Captain BOrchgrevink de- clared in an interview that this pro- cedure will not prove satisfactory be- cause he considers that both bodies are prepOssessed in favor of Cook. Captain Borchgrevink suggests that the Geographical Society of Geneva as an unprejudiced body be asked to settle the matter.
 A Greenland clergyman named Lud- wigs. a member of the Cape York mission and acquainted with both Cook and Peary. has opened a cam paign against the latter. reiterating the some old allegations as to his ill., treatment of Eskimos. Among other charges he alleges that Peary once deserted a band of women and chil- dren on the ice without food because they hindered the rapid advance of the expedition.

 Speaking of their trips, Mir. Von PuhI said, regarding the raising of the question that he was not qualified for the race: "The fact that I en- tered the race was notification enough. Anyway, whether I won the cup or not, I followed the race for the fun of it and I have the satisfac- tion of knowing that I made the longest flight. We left St. Louis at 4:50 o'clock Monday afternoon, the second to go up. and landed at Wah- kon, near Mile Lake, at 9:35 o'clock Wednesday morning. I attribute my success to the fact that I kept close to the ground while the others took high attitudes"

PRESIDENTS ENJOYMENT
Of the Splendors of Yose- mite Which He is Seeing for the First Time - Rest Comes When Most Needed

Wawona. Cal, Oct. 7.-An all day stage ride over thirty-four miles of mountain roads brought the president tonight to this lovely Sierra retreat, eight miles from the entrance to the Mariposa grove of big trees whither sunrise
 Mir. Taft and party reached the Wa wona hotel in their stage at p. m. due to the presidents lingering in the Grouse Creek forest near Chinquapin, where the monday luncheon was serv- ed on improvised table set down at the feet of hundred towering pines, sen- tinels of the forest. The day ride from Fl Portal, which was left behind at seven a. m., included glimpses of the YOsmite valley from Inspiration and Artists points and followed the tumb- ling waters of Merced river into the valley floor with teeming trout pools all along the way, and winding a mar row climb to height of 1000 feet at Crest Mountains which shut in the wonders of Yosmite
 It was not until the sun had disap- peared that President Taft had his first sight of deer Long protection having robbed the naturally timid ani- mals of the sense of fear. a big doe gave the chief magistrate look of passing interest and resumed brows- ing.
 The president declared that this was one of the most enjoyable days of his life. It was his first glimpse of Yos- mite. and its impressive surroundings The bracing mountain air and freedom from speech making, all contributed to the pleasure of the first day of rough ing it in the Sierras. This outing come just in time. for the president was pretty well Jagged out when he left San Francisco.
 NIT. Tafts constant coach companion today was John Muir, the noted natur- alist and explorer. Muir knows his Yosemite and he had ready answers for number of questions the president put to him. As he passed through the outskirts of the valley, the president was saluted by a grizzled old California piooeer, Galen Clark, the first white man to make known the existence of k the giant sequoia which the president will see tomorrow Clark is now more than years of age. He lives in the park and has asked that he be buried among the trees and mountains that he had known so long and loved so well.
 President Taft alighted from the stage during portion of the trip and walked a mile or more up the noun tain road. It gave him a splendid ap- petite for the picnic luncheon of fried chicken, potatoe pie, fruit and jelly served in the Grouse Creek pine forest At one point in the park. where a change of stages was made. the presi- dent was greeted by band of little school children and shook hands with all of them.
 Tonight in a temporary White House" into which one of the little hotel cottages here has been con- verted, the president is being guarded. as he was last night at Fl Portal by detachment of soldiers from troops l and NJ of the Fourteenth U. s. cav airy stationed in the park.

WILL SOON PLACE LINE OF
MOTOR CARS ON SAME.
This Will Greatly Improve the ssrv.

Satisfaction.

There Is q strong probability that
the r. a J. railway will soon install
n new system on their road In this
city. which will marvel anything for
service to be found in the country.
The new owners of the roadway
are considering the plan Of placing
motor cars on the road which are
pulled by small but powerful en-.
gines using coal instead Of gasoline.
and which are used extensively In
some countries at the present time
and which are said to be much more
reliable and at the same time eco
nomical
General Manager A. L. Glass stated
saturday that Lisman 4 Co. who now
own a majority OF the stock. are con-
sldering such plan, but at the pres
ent time nothing was ready for publ.
cation.
He is OF the opinion that this would
greatly decrease the running eX'
pense OF the road and az the same
time give a much better service.
Besides this Improvement contem
plated. the new owners are also con
templating others which will again
place this roadway in a position to
give the service that was formerly
Intended
This roadway runs through the
very best farming section TO b,
found in the State. and has the great

maker for the owners.
