The corner stone of the monument
to Henry Hudson on Spuyten Duyvil
hill was laid later In the day in driz-
zling rain. The storm did not deter
Gov. Hughes, who had come over from
Palisades park in time to deliver a Gu

The monument will be a towering
marble shaft, crowned with a statue
of Hudson. It's site is close to the spot
where tradition places the first landing
Of. the discoverer on his trip up the
river.
Preparations for the great historical
parade which will start early tomor-

waving color and bright lights. The

into the tens Of thousands, while an
even greater sum has been expended
in the erection Of the grand stands
which have been built into every avail

II I had known what ! know now,

DR.. Cook was very emphatic tat he

Little Whitney Counts in the Matter--Cook
Says He Is Ready 10 Face ACCuserS.
PEARY TALKS OF WHITNEY.

Portland, Nc. Sept. 21.-'I wish to
emphasize that the relations between
Whitney and Ilysolf were at all times
while he was aboard the Roosevelt
Jeanic. the relations as between gen
tlemcn." said Pcary at the Union sta
ton today as he was about to board
his train for Bar Habor. "Whitney &C
cupi.I captain Rartlctt's cabin on the
Roosevelt ate at our mess and every
courtesy was extended him Most of
Whitncy's personal belongings are
now on the Roosevelt, including musk
OK, bear skins, etc"
Pcary supplcmented his statement
concerning Whitney and his stay on
the Roosevelt. He said that Whitney
had been his guest at Etah for year,
that the young sportsman had SubsiSt-
ed on Peary's supplies and that their
relations were as between two gen
tlemen. Up to the moment he last saw
him, Pcary said, he did not consider 1t
conceivable that Whitney could have
had any valuable instruments or docu-
ments of DIR. Cook Whitney had not
advised him that he had. In fact,
Whitney had stated that he merely
had some of Cooks belongings and
asked to put them on board the Roose-
Welt.
This | refused to permit for obvi-
Gus reasons" said Peary. II knew
TO and q
been trying to take every advantage
Of my LIES work and supplies. There
fore did not care to make the Roosc-
welt an express for DR.. Cook. AS Tor
Whitney living a year on my supplies
he was perfectly welcome to them ana
he should have considered himself my
guest during the year he was hunting
from Etah.'
Peary says he does not believe Cook
left records. instruments or flags with
Whitney and cannot conceive that any
man under the circumstances would
have left such priceless things be
hind The Instruments. records ana
flags, he says. would have added prac-
tically nothing to the burden of the
three or four sledges and teams OF
dogs which transported Cook to Dan
ish Greenland.
Up to this noon Peary had received
no word from and had not attempted
to communicate with Harry Whitney
He expected to hear nothing of him.
but said it was possible that Captain
BARTLETT OF the Roosevelt might re-
coive some message concerning the
disposition of Whitney's belongings on
board.
Pcary's reference to his relations
with Whitney was made after he had
lecn asked if it were true that ne
had elected Whitney from the Roose-
Welt. He explained Whitney's leaving
the ship by saying Whitney was on
board from Aug. II to Aug. %. that
on the morning of Aug. IS the Roose-
Welt met the .Teanie and they tied up
together for q hours. AS the jeanne
had been sent for Whitney ana he de-
sired further hunting he naturally

HEINZE FEELS SAFE.
Has a Majority of the Davis Daley
Copper Mining Co. Stock.

New York, Sept. 27.-According to a
statement issued tonight by attorneys
for f. Augustus Heinze the efforts of
Newman Erb and others to wrcst the
management of the Davis DAILY Cop
Der Mining Co from the control of thn
Hcinze interests will prove unavailng
because proxies for $4,000 shares
'afc majority. it is said--are already in
the hands of the Hcinze committee. In
regard to the Maine injunction the
statement says:
Mr. Erb and his associates have
been unsuccessful in gaining sufficient
proxies to control the annual meeting
and are now merely sparring for time
in an effort to work themselves out of
bad situation. 1t is not known ut
present upon what charges or allega-
tions Mr.. Erb hopes to sustain the
temporary injunction, but it is clear
that they cannot be substantial or well
founded.
The annual meeting will be held
Sept. IS but will adjourn without taxi
ing up any business until Oct Is,
awaiting in the meantime the decision
of the Maine courts.
An injunction restraining the holding
Tuesday at Portland of the annual
meeting of the Davis-Daly Mining Co.
of which F. A. Henze is president,
has been granted by the Maine courts
on the petition of Newman Erb and
S. NJ. jarvis. The meeting will prob
ably be held Oct. Is, as Oct II is the
date set for the hearing on the injunc-
ton. The petitioners claimed that the
stockholders did not have sufficient
notification of the meeting.

Riding for Dear Life
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Perhaps YOU will not accept this, as
I did not see it in reality, but saw II
only in Imagination as papa told II 20
me. It was not actually unusual at tIe
time 1t happened, but it would probaply
he called a most unusual fire in these
days. 1t happened in 1863, When 1eNas
was yet wild.
Grandfather owned $50 acres of land
in the east edge of lower cross tlmper
that stretched from the northwest 10
the southeast across the state he ha9
about twenty acres cleared and turned
with a large plow, called SOD plo"'
and drawn by six yoke OF oxen.
His place was about twenty-five
miles northeast of Fort Worth, which
at that time was only fort. Fatner
learned to ride when only years olu,
and it was his delight to watch and
study animals, especially horses.
Grandfather owned 700 horses and
several hundred cattle, and papa's IA
vorite was little black, spirited morse
that he called "Dixie."
one day in the fall when papa was
7 years old he and his mother rode TO
BirdVille.
It was during this time that Jenny
Lind became so famous. and papa had
named a buckskin racer after this not
ed Swedish nightingale"
In6 morse was kliOWll CD tiiN iASShN'N
horse in all the surrounding country.
Prairie fires were quite frequent and
it was thought great risk for Wom-
an and a child of seven years to ride
sixteen miles alone. So they rode
Jenny.
They reached Birdville without any
adventures, and, having refreshed
themselves and their horse, they got
their supplies and started for home.
They were about five miles out of town
and had passed the last house on the
road, when in the west, driven by
high wind rose a cloud of smoke. A
great mass of flames, shooting up thir-
ty and forty feet into the air, fiickered,
fell and rose again with renewed fury.
Although the fire was yet six or seven
miles away, the wind was hot and suf-
locating, and the horse, giving a fren-
zied neigh started into run, for she
knew as we'll as human being what
that smoke meant.
Grandmother thought she could get
to Bear creek, which was few miles
from home. The grass was as high as
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-26

by flames, stood the squire's S-year-old
daughter May.
"Oh, who will save my darling?"
cried the father No one dared to
stir.
Suddenly a man darted forward
through the smoke and flames straight
to where the child was standing. He
took her in his arms and, catching up
a blanket from the bed threw it
around her a-d dashed down the stairs
and out of the house.
Putting her into her fathers arms,
he staggered and fell. They picked
him up and carried him to neigh
boring house, where he revived.
Meanwhile the house was burning
furiously, efforts to save the building
seemed of no avail.
The cause of the fire was never
known, but it was the most unusual
one I ever saw. Your niece,
HELEN BRYANT.
