BAILEY ANSWERS BRYAN.
Denounces latter's Recent Criticism of
Democratic Stand on Tariff.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. Limited
States Senator Joseph W. Bailey. re-
plying to recent tariff declarations of
William j. Bryan, took Mr.. Bryan to
task tonight in a speech for assertions
ascribed to him in his address at Ell
Paso a week ago.
Mr.. Bailey described Mr.. Bryan's re-
cent assertion at Dallas that the only
reform in the tariff was while the
Democrats quarreled among them
selves for protection of the industries
in their respective districts. as "a ter
rible indictment of the Democratic par
ty" that would be used by Republican
speakers in the next campaign.
The senator declared the indictment
"almost mandacious.''
Senator Bailey maintained that
equal distribution of the burdens Of
the government was sound Democratic
doctrine and declared he would not
vote to take the tax off that which the
manufacturer buys while taxing that
which the manufacturer sells; but he
would vote to reduce that tax to a rev.
enue basis. This he declared to be- the
doctrine of true Democracy

TO SPEED COURTS ACTION.
Committee Now Investigating Matter
In Massachusetts.


Boston. Oct. 1.-Some method of speed
ing the action of the courts was sought
today at the first of a series of hearings
by a special committee appointed by Gov
Draper to investigate the abuses of delay
in trials of civil cases. Among the sug-
gestions to this effect was the appoint
ment of an official board of auditors to
deal entirely with business cases: the ex-
animation of the testator for his sanity
before making will before judges: to
make the supreme judicial court purely
a court of appeals and create a new court
to he called a supreme court, which
would be a sort of intermediate court to
handle matter now handled by the SUI
preme judiciary: to do away with the
present method of appealing cases in the
lower courts and to have all domestic re-
lation cases taken care of in the probate
court and when jury trial is called for
jury to be selected from the superior civil
jury panel.

WHITNEY EVADES COOK.

his way from Greenland, left the Fly
Ing Yankee. the Boston & Maine train
on which he travelled from Portland,
Me. at this point instead of continuing
on the train to Boston. where it was
thought he might meet DR. Cook Dur
ing the journey across Maine Mr. Whit
ney remained most of the time in his
Pullman compartment with friends.
During the 5-minutes stop of the train
in Portland Mr.. Whitney remained in
the car, but in response to an inquiry
sent out a written note. saying:
1.-THE report that meeting has been
arranged between Dr. Cook and my
self is unfortunate. I have had no
communication with either DR. Cook
or Mr.. Peary."

was with Mr.. Whitney, came to tn.

door of the car. when asked about
the statement of Mr.. Whitney that ne
did not know that DIR. Cook left any
records with him, Mr.. Wallace said ne
was authorized by Mr.. Whitney to say
that when Dr. Cook gave him the
boxes at Etah, Dr. Cook opened one,
remarking: This contains my instru-
ments," and showed them to Mr.. Whit
ney. There was another box which Or.
Cook did not open and which MI.
Whitney says he did not know the con-
tents of, though he has no reason TO
doubt Dr. Cooks statement that IN
that box were rough drafts and notes
concerning the discovery of the North
Pole.
Mr.. Whitneys departure from the
train here was unexpected, the move
being made apparently to elude news
paper men and others who awaited his
arrival in Boston. 1t is thought that
he proceeded from here by automobile.
He was not registered at any hotel in

NOTHING TO SAY.
Whitney Makes Brief Stop at Water
Vile on Way to New Haven.

Waterville, Me-, Oct. 1.-(SpeciaD.-
Harry Whitney of New Haven, who
at present central figure in the polar
controversy between Peary and Cook,
passed through this city Friday after
noon on the way to his home in New
Haven and was seen for a very few
minutes by Journal man. while tho
train, No. 102, remained at the station.
He positively refused to make any
statement regarding the controversy
and would answer no questions con-
corning it. He stated that all he had
to say had been given to The Associat-
ed Press.
Il have been away from home for IS
months and am mighty glad to get
back. Never again for me- said Mr..
Whitney, speaking of the polar regions.
There is nothing in the report that l
shall meet Cook tonight in Boston. l
will go direct to my home in New
Haven, unless | receive telegram"
Mr.. Whitney alighted from the Pull
man car and strOlled around a few
steps within short radius of the car
and seemed very tired after his recent
strenuous trip. Not many knew OF his
coming and consequently he received
little attention.

either explorer, but because of the
many calculations that enter into the
determination of the pole. The Ma
tional Geographic Society urges Com
mander Peary and DR.. Cook speedily
to submit all their observations, notes
and data to a competent scientist in
the United States.
Prof. Moore said he did not feel that
he could dissociate himself sufficient
lv as president of the society to call
upon or to introduce DR.. Cook to any
audience while in this city until the
board of managers of the society had
taken action upon DR.. Cooks claims
of having reached the North pole.
Personally he said when the an
nouncement of DR.. Cooks achievement
was first made he expressed his graft
fcation that Cook had reached the pole
but now that the board of managers
of the society had invited a submission
of proof of both Peary and Cook, he
felt that he should maintain an abso-
lItely neutral attitude. Prof. Moore
saw no reason why evidence should not
be submitted to the board at an early
day so that all doubt might be dis
PEELED.
Mr.. Moore will maintain the same at
titude toward Commander Peary that
he does toward DR.. Cook He will
treat both claimants exactly alike un-
til action by his society has settled the
dispute that has arisen between them.
