and buried in the ice. or what value
was that action to the United States?
If the ice was floating, as he said
1t was, it will not serve as a goal for
future explorers and neither will it
serve to signify the fact that the re-
gion is a possession of our govern
ment.
Had the first report been of more
scientific nature l would have placed
more truth in it, but as it is cannot
but remain skeptical The same will
hold true of the Peary report. II
the evidence given out is scientific,
it may be that more faith will be plac-
ed in it, but if it is to the effect that
the American flag was buried in a
piece of floating ice, or something Of
a similar nature, will refuse to be-
lieve it until absolute proof of the
success of the expedition is obtained
and shown to me-"

COOK AND PEARY
BOTH DISCREDITED

CHICAGO, September 6.-University
of Chicago professors are inclined to
treat the report that Lieut. Peary
has discovered the north pole with the
same doubling suspicion which charac-
terized their statements as to their
views on the report of DR.. Cook. When
told of the reported success of the
Peary expedition by The Daily News
Prof. Thomas c. Chamberlain, head
of the department of geology, main
tanned the same air of skepticism, and
refused to place any faith in the re-
port until shown official data
1 must hold myself in reserve" he
said "until conclusive evidence has
been shown me. My doubt is based
upon the fact that I possess inside
knowledge of the conditions which
leads me to doubt that the most north
ern spot in the world has ever been
reached"
Would you be inclined now to place
more faith in the report that Peary had
reached the pole than you would in the
statement of DR.. Cook to that effect?'
Prof. Chamberlain was asked.
That is a matter which l must re-
serve for myself" was the reply. Il
would not care to be quoted in such a
statement right now"
1t was suggested to the professor
that certain climatic conditions exist
ing at present around the north pole
had made access to it comparatively
easy and that both Peary and Cook
mad taken advantage of the condition
and had succeeded.
Il still doubt the stories,' he an
swered. "In spite of the statements of
the Copenhagen professors, all of
whom seemed to place faith in the re-
port of Cooks success, I must be shown
before I will believe
Now that the fever of the Cook
statements has the world in its grasp,
[ should not be surprised to hear re-
port that a number of other explorers
have reached the pole, but l would
maintain the same attitude toward all
of the reports. 1t is natural that ru-
mors should be aaoat right now and
would not be surprised it this latest
was one of them"
Returning to the subject of Dr. Cook
Prof. Chamberlain declared: The first
intimation of his success was not of
the right nature. Instead of the
scientific data necessary for the con-
formation he sent out the statement
that he had planted the American flag
in a cake of floating ice found at the
pole. The flag was placed in a tube

THE NEW TARIFF
IN A NUTSHELL

Summing up the changes made in
the tariff as shown in the various Sen
ate documents, Cae new act has in
creased the DINGHY rates in 800 in
stances, while reducing them in 5S4
cases. The increases affect commodl-
ties imported in 1907 to the value OF
at least $105, POI, while the reduc-
tions affect not more than $132, ,O74
worth of imports. Four hundred and
forty-seven million dollars worth of
imports Con the basis of 1900 remain
subject to the old rates, more than 10
the Dingley tariff. That is to say, IS
per cent of the total imports remain
subject to the old raes, more than 10
per cent Of the total will be subject to
higher duties, the average increase
amounting to 81 per cent over the
Dingley rates; and less than 20 per
cent of the imports are to be subject
to lower duties, the reduction being
estimated about % per cent below the
Dingley rates. All of these figures
greatly underestimate the increases OF
duty for the following reasons; First,
they do not take into account the num-
erous changes (nearly all increases OF
duty) due to changes in classification,
similar to the instances cited in the
case of sawn wood, structural iron,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-09-22

and cotton cloth; second, large part
Of the imports subject to ad valorem
duties will now be assessed on the
basis of domestic prices instead OF the
prices in foreign markets with due al
lowance for freight and duty, as has
hitherto been the case; and, finally
the possibility, even If remote, of the
application of maximum rates to i'm
ports from some of the foreign coun-
tries, which will amount on the aver
age to an increase of more than 50
per cent over the new rates. The
real increase of duty will not be ac-
curately known for a year, until we
have full returns of the imports and
duties actually levied under the new
law under the decisions of the Board
of General Appraisers and the new
Customs Courtroom THE Payne

is OFF
FOR A BIG GAME

Members of the Whitman college
football squad left this afternoon for
Moscow, Idaho, where they will play
the first intercollegiate game of the
with the eleven from the Uni
versity of Idaho tomorrow afternoon.
The Missionaries are in the best of
condition, n supporters of the ag-
gregation feel certain the boys will
make a good showing. Idaho is
known to have an exceptionally strong
team his year. Her line is much
heavier than the one sent to Whit
man last year and is said to be much
more aggressive. All reports from
Idaho tell of the wonderful system
developed this year by the new coach,
H. Grogan, and an exceptionally
interesting contest is looked for.
In preparation for this game Satur-
day, Coach Blanchard has been drill
ing his men hard all week both on
Ankeny field in the afternoon and in
the gymnasium at night. Three af-
ternoons during the past week the
Missionaries mixed with the second

races will be classified according to
cylinder displacement.
The ars entering the big event
will have TO have 300 and one inches
and over, cylinder displacement, while
the competitors in the light ears race
Will have 800 inches and less disp.ace-
ment. The roads over which this race
is to be held are the finest in
California, there being ten miles
straight away on one-half of the
course and very few turn in the other
half. Speed drivers who have already
gone over the course are unanimous in
their opinions that record breaking
speed can be made over its entire
length.

HE is A LANDED PROPRIETOR OF
SOME LITTLE ESTATE
IN NATION.
Has More Money Tied Up in Office
Buildings Than All the Million
aires in Existence.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-Talking
about concentrated wealth, your
Uncle Samuel is something of a land
ed proprietor himself. Disregarding
the vast areas of public lands in the
west to which he holds title, his navy
yards, army posts. etc. he Is worth
several hundred millions of dollars in
improved city real estate alone.
In fact. it is a pretty safe bet that
the United States government has
more money tied up in office buildings
throughout the country than all the
multi-millionaires that could be named.
They are scattered through every
state and territory and they are all
situated in growing cities and towns
on specially selected sites. So it is
reasonable to suppose hat if. for any
reason, Uncle Sam should yer decide
to sell out his real estate holdings he
would be able to MAKE a pretty profit
on his original investments.
Following is the original cost of
the government buildings in some of
the principal cities of the country:
New York. sS.549,S32; ST. Louis. S.
SS6,S45; Chicago, %$3.1Oe.574: Cincin-
natl, s5,0S, 1882; Boston. $5,0S1, $40;

SIS; Indianapolis, ST. 9O,213; Pittsburg,
$1,61g,462, and Baltimore, s1,534,27S.
Altogether there has been a total of
$17S,672,0S9 of the peoples one in
vested in these public buildings. They
are mostly co~urt-housas customs
houses, and postoffices, although there
are a few quarantine stations and
hospitals among the lot. This total
does not include the value of the sites
which, while in many instances do
mated, yet represent an additional out
lay for those which had to be pur-
chased of $40 O87, 256, making an ag-
gregate of $21s, 75s,345. Nor does this
