Topeka, Oct. 13.--Prof. L. L. Dyche
of the University of Kansas, who ac-
companied both Cook and Peary on
former expeditions to the Arctic re-
gions, in statement to the Topeka
State Journal today regarding Peary's
charges, says that they are incredible.

claim that Cook, after reaching that
part of the country which he wished
to attain after so long a struggle.

out reason. Prof Dyche says this
is most unlikely.

MATTER. is ALL ABSORBING
QUESTION

Washington, Oct. 13.-"What will
Taft do with Cranes resignation?
was the question exciting all Wash
ington today. Cranes stinging reply
to Secretary of State Knox, state
ment in which he asserts he was un-
fairly treated by the state department
and lays the burden for his action
directly on President Taft, under
whose instructions he says he acted,
makes the action of the president of
great Importance. 1t is believed he
will not interfere but will make Sec
retary Knox bear the responsibility
for the action taken. Many diplo-
mats believe Crane was used as a
fcsregoat and that it was the inten-
ton of the state department to let
Japan know that this government OBJ
jected to certain treaties, without go
ing SO far that it could not retract If
necessary.

The domestic difficulties of the
Storks started soon after their ro-

ended in their marriage on June %,
1906. They met in May on North

was Spokane, and he had a ticket to

her right name, which was then
Nellie Elledge, having had her
maiden name restored when she was
divorced from a man named Warrell

Stork told her about his prospects

he left her with a promise to answer

Women workers in the various in

One woman in five in the United

Special to the World.
PORTLAND Ore

Special to the World.
PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. S.-Joy
reigns today in the camp of Gov.
George f. Chamberlain over the
news contained in a letter written
by United States Senator c. w. Full
ton to an Oregon legislator to the eff
feet that he had definitely made up
his mind to withdraw from the sena-
torial race in this state.
Not that the adherents of the gov
ernOr had ever entertained any doubt
as to his election to succeed Fulton,
but they did not cherish the pros
pect of fighting for the plum when
the people of Oregon voted that
Chamberlain should have it.
The letter written to the legislator,
who will not permit his name to be
used in connection with it, settles
the question, in the opinion of Cham
berlain's followers, ana it is thought
that any movement now in existence
to induce the Oregon legislators to
repudiate the pledges they made to
the people will be abandoned.
However, Senator Fulton has not
given any public notice of his inten-
ton to withdraw, but the "old
guard" that has been laboring in his
behalf is satisfied there will be no
fight over the senatorial question
when the legislature meets next Mon
day.
It is understood that Senator Full
ton wrote similar letters to other
friends after realizing. evidently, that
the pledged legislators were deter
mined to vote for Chamberlain, the
peoples choice.
