HOW TO SECURE REVISION
President VIII Tell People to Elect
Pledged Coneressmen.


Beverly, Mass, Sept. 10. - II was
learned that President Taft has sent
for Attorney General Wickersham to
come 20 Beverly tomorrow TO discuss
several matters of importance. II is
believed that one of these has TO do
with the dispute between the depart
ment Of the interior and the forestry
division of the department of agricul
ture regarding the carrying out Of
the conservation and public land
laws.
Mr.. Taft has been giving much
thought of late to the speeches he is
to make in the west, and is gathering
vast amount of matter to form the
basis of what he will have TO say
during the two months OF travel and
speeehmaking. II is stated that the
president will frankly tell of the trou-
bles that beset him In dealing with
the tariff situation, and that he will
put squarely up to the people the
question OF whether or not they de-
sire a still further revision. The
president will tell his hearers that
the remedy for any shortcoming In
the bill will be to elect people
pledged to a revision along the lines
desired.

more valuable in the United States
than as given before the members of
the Peary party while north 1t would
be impracsioable for Cook or any one
TO send steamer up for the Eski-
mos before next year"
With regard to the offer of the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey to arbitrste the controversy, Mr..
Bridgman said: Il know Commander
Peary will be perfectly satisfied to
abide by its verdict. Peary has a
commission from the survey 10 take
certain observations and data, and
will submit his results to that board.
Cooks two witnesses are from 16
10 20 years of age. The only six Els
kimos who declined to go returned
with Cooks letters to his wife. John
r. Bradley and Rudolph Francke.
dated Cape Thomas Hubbard. Com
mander Peary, in a series of conver-
sations with the natives, found that
the letters were not written where
dated. The Eskimos told of the num-
ber Of sleeps passed since they part
ed with Cook, but 1t may be that the
natives did not tell the truth to Com
mander Peary. 1t will depend largely
on the natives testimony whether or
not Cook was where he claims TO
have been"
Mr.. Bridgman said there were not
more than three white men In all at
the pole. These were Commander
Peary and either Donald Mcmillan OF
Worcester. Mass. or George Barup OF
the Sheffield scientific school. 1t Is
also possible that both these men
accompanied Peary. Matthew Henson
Peary's colored companion, also was
probably at the pole.

Dr. cook asked the offclals Of the
Danish Greenland administration to
arrange for the dispatch of one OF
their boats to Greenland at his ex
pense to get the two Eskimos who
accompanied him to the pole. The
officials stated that 1t is now too late
in the season for such an attempt,
and advised him that he must wait
for spring, which he will do. He
proposed to Gould Brokaw, who is
here with his yacht Fedora, that. they
make q seart for Greenland immedi
ately, but Brokaw would not agree
to this
The Copenhagen papers are full Of
the controversy. Almost all Of them
support Or. Cooks claims. but throw
no new light on the subject. Captain
Amundsen Is one of the strongest
supporters OF the explorer. who Is
now backed up by DR.. Edward Bay,
the zoologist OF the expedition under
Captain Sverdrup in the Fran in
1S9S.1902.
DR.. Bay had long interview with
Or. Cook, at the conclusion OF which
he said that while at first he had
doubted Cooks story, he was now GER
tain OF its truth so far as the route
claimed to be taken was concerned.
DR.. Cook. he said, gave him accurate
descriptions of places and things
which no other white man except Bay
had ever seen. Er. Bay asserted that
the Danes in Greenland were un'
friendly to Captain Peary because
they believed he treated the Eskimos
badly and forced them to work for
him.
The University OF Copenhagen con
ferred upon DR.. Cook the honorary
degree of doctor of science In the
presence of more than 1000 persons,
who cheered the explorer heartily.
