PEARY MAKES NO
 NEW STATEMENTS

Truro, N. S., September 22.-CommandeI Peary had no further statements to make today regarding the polar controversy and while travelling westward to his home in Eagle Bay, from Sydney, spent the time going over his correspondence. The explorer with his family left Sydney early today and reached Truro tonight. Later the Peary party departed for Port land.
 Commander Peary has received by cable an invitation to lecture before the Royal Scottish Geographical society. The invi- tation came in a cablegram today from Edinburgh. It follows that received from Secretary J. s. Kettle, requesting Com mander Peary to fix date for lecture in London before the Royal Geographical society.
 An enthusiastic crowd which had gath cred at New Glasgow to enliven the de- parture of the two wedding couples cheered Commander Peary and threw rice at his car windows. The explorer was given a round of applause when he ap- peared on the platform, thinking that the demonstration was in his honor alone, but he hastily retreated when he observed that he was in the midst of a wedding party. Another bridal crowd at Stellarton also gave the explorer a hearty round of cheers

WILBUR WRIGHT
 MEETS CURT|SS Two Noted Aviators Join Hands
 In Friendly Greeting PLANNING FOR FLIGHTS
Curtlss Proposes to Fly Around Lib- erty Statue During Celebration and Wright Will Be on
 the Programme.

New York, September 22.-A flight from Governors Island across tn e lower bay and around the statue Of liberty probably will be the first avia- tion event during the Hudson Fulton celebration. Glenn H. Curtiss, winner of the first internationa aviation con- test, announced today that he would attempt to make this flight as soon as possible after he has assembled his machine.
 Wilbur Wright who has his ma tiss today for the first time since the latter returned from his European t<i- umphs, the meeting, which took place in Wright's shed on Governors Island, was cordial. No i'll feelings exist be- cause of the suit which the Wright brothers have brought against the Herring -Curtiss company for alleged infringement of patents.
 The machine which Wilbur Wright will use Is of exactly the same dimen- sions as that which his brother, Orville used at Fort Meyer last year; in fact 1t includes part of that ill-fated aero plane which dash ed to earth, causing the death of Lieutenant Selfridge of the signal corps.
 It Is capa ble of carrying two men and making a speed of between 3S and 40 miles an hour.
 Wright's contract with the celebra- tion committee requires a flight of one hours duration while Curtiss has the option of making any flight which his judgment dictates.
 Before inspecting the field at Gov ernors Island today, Curtiss was the guest of honor at luncheon at the Lawyers club, where he received gold medal awarded to him by .ue Aero Club of America, as an evidence of appreciation for his winning the James Gordon Bennett cup at Rheims.
 A. Holland Forbes, acting president of the Aero club, presided as toastmas- ter and presented the medal
 Wright asked Curtiss If he had found the information given him by the wrights before Curtiss sailed for France of any value to him. MT. Cur tiss said he had and further pleas antries were exchanged.
 It was while inspecting the grounds at Governors Island with William J. Hammer of the Hudson Fulton avia- tion committee, that Curtiss made known his plan to fly around the statue liberty.
 "Th ese grounds are great" he said. "They are little rough for starting, but they are ideal for landing"
 Curtiss will make no flights in a wind of more than five or six miles, but 1t Is likely that Wright may at tempt flights in a higher wind if 1t is from favorable direction.

IS ROOSEVELT A
 MAN OF REpOSE?

Washington, September 22.-(Special J. Will former President Theodore Roose- welt be known to posterlty as a man of repose, rather than the strenuous one? Will future generations know him as Roosevelt the quiescent instead of Roose- welt the strenuous?
 The joint committee on library of Con- gress and Superintendent Elliot Woods of the capitol building and grounds have selected tentatively, if not permanently, as a bust to represent the former vice president in the Senate chamber, one rep resenting him in quiet. thoughtful pose, instead of one picturing the Senate's for mer presiding officer as one of action and strenuosity.
 James Earl Frazier. sculptor of New York has submitted two plaster cast busts of Colonel Roosevelt for the officials to say which they prefer, and they have decided that they will select the one of quiet pose rather than the one expressing action.
 The bust is to be executed in marble. and will, of course, be submitted to MT Roosevelt for his approval before 1t Is finally accepted.

COOK QU|zzED BY
 NEWSPAPER MEN Explorer Stands Test Of Rapid
 Fire Questions ALL ANSWERED RAPIDLY pr. Cook Spends the Day at Home With His Family and in the Evening Gives Himself Up
 To Be interviewed.

New York, September 22.-Dr. Frederick A. Cook. seeking rest and secusion with his family after the boisterous welcome of yesterday, denied himself to interview CTS today and remained .n his suite at the Waldorf-Astoria until late this even ing, when he submitted cheerfully to one of the severest cross ss-examinations since he announced his discovery of the north pole. The ordeal of the interview which was conducted by 40 newspaper repre- sentatives, including several from foreign newspapers, proved at least that he was not afraid to meet the public Incidental ly the city of New York officially recog- nized his achievement today when the board of aldermen passed a resolution commemorating his discovery and provid- ing for public welcome at the city hall. The date of the reception will be an- nounced later.
 As the questions asked were put by laymen, they did not go deeply into the scientific aspect of the expedition. But pr. Cook was ready to answer anything pertinent to the issue
 The most interesting phase of the in- terview was reached when Dr. Cook was asked if he would object to showing his diary. He immediately consented and after retiring to his room, returned with a small octave notebook which he showed freely to all It was thin book contain ing 176 pages, every one of which was filled with 50 or 60 lines of penciled writing of the most minute character
 The book, he said. contained consid- erably more than 1000 words, while he has, besides, other books embracing his observations and other data
 Interviewer Severe.
 The interviewers were rather severe in regard to details but nothing indicated that the polar travellers memory was at fault. even in the most minute partic- ulars. Sometimes when a petty question indicated ignorance he smiled with good humored sympathy at the lack of techni- cal knowledge displayed.
 Not once did he refuse to reply except when the name of Commander Peary was preached. Even then he said that he had always and did now consider Peary as his friend but controversial subjects in connection with his rival he avoided entirely, saying that they could wait
 When requested to say what occurred at his meeting with Harry Whitney, the New Haven sportsman, he said he pre- ferred to let Whitney tell his own story. as Whitney was quite unbiased. His req son in imposing secrecy on Whitney, on Pritchard Commander Peary's cabin boy, and the Eskimos, were prompted by his desire to be the first to tell the world of his discovery.

Corey Is Optimistic M
 Iron and Steel Outlook

CTS ahead to run for four or five months, and the Carnegie and Illinois companies can make promises under 60 days. There Is a good demand for all grades of finished steel.
 Next year will witness a record break ing production of steel in every line; one of the greatest records In railroad buying and in building ever known in the his tory of the country
 'The railroads are awakening to a re- alization of the situation and are now jumping in with orders. The railway de- mands for next year will be simply enor- nous.
 "A new era of activity is on. It will vastly exceed anything ever before known"

Baltimore, September 22.-(Special.)- President William F. Corey of the United States Steel corporation In an exclusive interview published in the Manufacturers Record of date September 2S, discussing the outlook for the iron and steel trade, takes an exceedingly optimistic view of business conditions and railroad expan- sion. He says in part;
 "The situation speaks for itself. It is not a matter of perspective; we have ar- rived. We are right now in the midst of the greatest development in the his- tory of the steel and iron business
 "Substantially all four plants are now running and on practically full time, and there Is no branch of the steel industry that is backward. The Tennessee Coal,

DEAD GOVERNORS BODY
 IS VIEWED BY 5O,OOO

St. Paul, September 22.-More than 0,0oo people, it is estimated, viewed the body of the late Gov. John A. Johnson as it lay in state in the rotunda of the state capitol today. The crowds thronged the building all day, save for one brief hour, between and o'clock, when the build- ing was closed to everyone except Mrs. Johnson and a few friends. Mrs. John son remained in the building full hour, taking her last farewell. After she de- parted the doors were again flung open and the long file again began to move. When the doors closed for the night at 930 O clock there were still hundreds out side who had been unable to get an ad- mittance.
 c. G. Schultz, state superintendent of public instruction, today ordered all schools of the state closed tomorrow in honor of Governor Johnson. In most of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-23

the St. Paul schools memorial services will be held.
 All branches of commercial and manu- facturing activities will pause tomorrow for five minutes during the funeral of Governor Johnson. The action planned Is statewide, and all cities and towns have been requested to follow the lead of the Twin Cities. The railroads of the state and the city railways of St. Paul. Minne- apolis and Duluth will stop running for five minutes during the funeral hour.
 The body will lie In state until 1t Is time to remove 1t to the special train which leaves St. Paul at 10:10 a. m. for St. Peter. The body will be accompanied to St. Peter by St. Paul city officials and members of several local fraternal organizations and personal friends of the late governor.
 The funeral will be held from the Pres byterian church at St. Peter and the in- torment will be in the family cemetery

Means Much for Future.

While 1t Is seen that MT. Crawford did not include In the above statement any estimates of cost, 1t Is understood that an expenditure of between $4,000,00O and s, ,000,OO0 will be involved in the improve ments outlined, including the money paid for the land. But as Is clearly intimated the completion of the company's water works will be followed by additional plants for turning out finished steel prod ucts. And 1t is known to be the purpose of the company to spend untold millions in the Birmingham district within the next few years.
