Congressman Grants Story Of the

MRS. REEDS DENIAL
Declares Postmistress Said That She
Would Pay More Than Others
Mrs. Reed Says Grant Told Her
She Must "Come Across''-Sensa-
tional Charges Made.
tionsl Charges Made.

A dispatch from Asheville, N. c.,
says the recent removal of Mrs. Julia
Reed from the Biltmore postoffice
has eliminated in sensational charg-
es and counter-charges, with Con-
gresham John Grant of that dis
trict, figuring prominently in the
melee. Wednesday it was rumored
on the streets that Mrs. Reeds re-
lease from the position of postmis-
tress at Biltmore was the result of
charges preferred against her by a
person or persons then unknown and
the rumor grew to a definite state
ment when Congressman Grant, ques-
toned by press representative, ad-
mitted thai Le had filed the charges
which led to Mrs. Reeds removal
from the Biltmore Office.
Congressman Grant in signed
statement given ito thk citizens
Thursday night, declared in sub
stance that Mrs. Reed tried to bribe
him to secure the office for herself
and that this attempt was made in
the presence of his wife and daugh-
ter. "A few days after the elec-
tion," says the Congressman, Mrs.
Reed came to me at my home on
Grove street and tried to exact from
me a promise of support which she
failed to get, but she left letters OF
recommendation for me to look over.
A few days later she came to my
home and tried to bribe me in the
presence Of my wife and daughter
saying that If would have her re-
appointed when her commission ex-
pired, she would pay me more money
than either of the other applicants,
and that l might see them and see
what they would pay first. told
her that neither she nor any one
else could pay me for my endorse
ment, and when she saw | resented
what she was saying and turned to
my daughter and proposed to pay
her If she would have ME to ap
point him. | again told her that
/ could not be bribed and my daugh
ter stated that she would have moth
ing to do with the m.tter.'
Mrs. Reed said that she woUlt
make no statement until she hat
seen Congressman Grants charges
She declared however that she die
not attempt to bribe Mr.. Grant, Du'
merely offered to contribute hel
share to the Republican campaign
fund and to take stock in the party
paper at Greensboro. She allese:
that so far from offering to bribt
the congressman he told her thai
she would have Ito come across fol
the campaign fund, as all the othe
ofticeholders had done"
Congressman Grant emphatically
denies that he told Mrs. Reed t
come across"
1t is said by Mrs. Reeds friends
that the facts in the political con
troversy will be laid before Presi
dent Taft.

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Ncrvine is
a specific for the nerves, 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if If
does not benefit he will return
your money.

Him Farewell.

Copenhagen, Sept. 13-Dr. Freder-
lex A. Cook has left Copenhagen on
the first stage of his journey home
ward, apparently happy and confident
and with the chorus Of great
crowd ringing in his ears. Formal
farewells were exchanged between DR..
Cook and committees of the Geo
graphical society and the University
of Copenhagen. AS he departed, the
explorer stood alone on the high
bridge of the yacht Melchior. which is
taking him to Christiansand. raising
his hat in response to the shouts of
the multitude.
The yacht will arrive at Christian
sand at noon, where the steamship
Oscar II, will be ready to take up
anchor and steam for the United
States as soon as DR.. Cook has been
transferred to her deck.
Bidder Formal Farewell.
Before the gang plank of the Mel

CONTROVERSY

WRANGLE BETWEEN COOK AND
PEARY OVER DISAPPEARANCE
OF SUPPLIES.
PEARY APPROPRIATED THE CACHE
OF Food, Coal and Kerosene Left by
Cook at Annatook, Declares Cap.
tain of Latter's VesseI-Peary
Men Deny the Charge.

st. Johns, Newfoundland, Sept. 49,
The Peary-Cook controversy is of in
tense interest throughout Newfound-
land. Capt. Moses Bartlett of Brigus,
who commanded DR.. Cooks schooner
John R. Bradley. which was fitted out
at Gloucester, Mass, in 1907, issued
a public statement as follows:
Or. Cook is correct in stating that
Peary took his provisions after the
steamer Erik returned to Brigus last
fall. Three of her crew who belonged
to Brigus told me that When Peary ar
rived at Etah that summer he took
possession of all the stores had left
there the previous fall for Cook,
against his return from the north.
These men say they helped to move
the stuff from where l left it. The
This supply consisted of two dory
loads of stores, food and kerosene,
which our crew pulled on the beach
and then placed the dories over, bot
tom up, piling stones around and
above them to make cache"
"At Annatook, 80 miles north, where
Cook landed l had previously put
ashore two years supplies for Cook
and five tons of hard coal. Our YES
sci, the John E. Bradley, was laden
with stores and 10 tons of hard coal.
When Cook landed we gave him half
the coal and the stores except what
we required to bring US home. Cook
could not steal Peary's provisions be-
cause Peary had none on any part of
the coast, having used up all the pro-
visions left there by previous expedi-
lions in his 19O5-O6 trip"
Pike Has Another Story.
Richard Pike, chief engineer of the
auxiliary vessel for Commander Peary
last year by conveying stores and coal
to Etah to supplement those on the
Roosevelt, said that Peary did not
take Cooks provisions nor were they
put on board Pearys ship. Pike said:
"Peary left two men of the Roose-
welt, the boatswain and one of the
firemen, with the immense accumula-
ton of supplies he left at Etah when
the Roosevelt went north, and the
Erik came south. Those men appar-
emily in mistake took some of Cooks
stores that were also cached there"
Another member of the Erik's crew,
who refused to have his name pub
lished said that the stores were TAX
en- by an understanding with Francke,
Cooks assistant in part payment for
his passage from Etah to the United
States. The stock of ivory, furs, skins
and curiosities, which Francke and
Cook had accumulated were accepted
as the equivalent Of passage money,
he said. The seaman stated that at
that time Cook was regarded as dead,
as he had been missing and his stores
and belongings were regarded as legi-
timately available for this purpose.
Francke, he added, was given to under
stand that in return for these gifts
relief expedition would be organ
zed as sort of side line by the Roose-
velts crew to search for Cook and
bring him back should he have been
found alive.
