Mr.. Wellman is especially caustic
in his criticism of DIR. Cook for not
turning over the records of his trip
Immediately to some scientific body,
especially when his story was ques-
toned by critics. This, he declares
to be indefensible.
The records, he says, of any Arctic
traveller need no revision for, If they
are honestly inscribed, they can not
be subject to revision. Such records,
he points out, are kept in dirty,
greasy. grimy note books" the in
scriptions in which have been "penned
with frost bitten fingers by a weary
man lying in the half darkness of a
reindeer skin bag, within a snow hut
or tent"
LET it be understood" says Mr..
Wellman, that such records are al
ways ready. They are complete and
perfect the moment they are written.
They can be turned over to scientific
committee in two minutes as we'll as
in two months-and much better.
"The man who has done an honest
piece of work and recorded it faith
fully hour by hour, needs not to re-
construct that record" Mr.. Wellman
argues. THE bank cashier who took
his daily ledgers covering quarter
of year home with him, upon the pre-
text that they needed revision and
preparation before being submitted,
and insisted on retaining them for
some months with no other eye than
his to see them. would probably find
himself in trouble with his directors
and the officers of the law"
Mr.. Wellman SCOTS at Mr.. Cooks
astronomical data. particularly the
observation he claims to have taken
within 1,41S feet of the pole. "He is
indeed a marvellous traveller" de-
clares Wellman. "who can average
15.5 miles per day for more than a
month over sea ice with heavy
sledges, and marvellous astronomi-
cal observer who can locate his posi-
tion within 1,4OO feet-four minutes
walk-and then advance for the pur
pose Of locating it more closely still
like the story of the amateur noun
tain climber who assembled a peak and
returned with report that he meas
ured it's altitude by barometer and
found it to be miles. 25 rods, z feet
and 1913 inches"
Wellman fatty declares that such
observations could be manufactured
anywhere, by anybody, and to support
this assertion he includes an "obser-
vation" such as might have been made
at the North Pole on April 81, 1908,
(which l made today in Washington
with pencil and nautical almanac"
Anyone who knows nautical as
tronomy," he adds. "can sit down in

zE[AYA READY TO LEAVE

threatened by President Zelaya, and
has been granted permission to oc-
cupy the legation premises as being
more secure. The, Nicaraguan con-
gress will assemble. next Wednesday
and it is rumored that President

rumors from various quarters indi-
cate that Irias may succeed Zelaya
as president of Nicaragua This In
formation is embodies in telegrams
more or less delayed in transmission
which have been received at the state
department from the consular repre-
sentatives of the United States in
Nicaragua. IS
Denial is made by the Nicaraguan
legation here. however, that President
Zelaya is about to leave. that country.
The legation asserts that it is in
daily communication with Managua
and says that the report about Zelaya
leaving is absolutely false.
"It is now quite plain to an i'm
partial public" said Charge de At
faires Rodriguez today. that the re-
ports given to the press by the revo-
lutionists' agents are, to say least
grossly exaggerated! The legation
has been in constant communication
with Manegua by cable, and there is
no truth whatsoever in the report
that the lines had been cut in the
interior Of Nicaragua"
Senor Rodriguez says that the
revolution is at standstill. Estrada

pltcation for and review Of tho clas-
sifcation; in other words, II lands are
classified as coal lands. they should
be enterable only as coal lands. and
in case It be shown that they are i'm
properly classified as coal lands and
are, in fact, agricultural lands, they
should then be enterable only as agri-
cultural lands. This, to m mind, is
the only way the government can
scientifically and effectively proceed
to conserve the natural resources Of
the public domain. To leave to the
self interest Of applicants the option
to claim a particular tract Of land
as more valuable for mineral, agri-
culture, timber, phosphate, oil or gas
or for power sites, is to invite confu-
sion, fraud and contention, and this
has been the source Of a major portion
of the difficulties Of the interior de-
partment in administering the public
domain.
It may seem at the outset that this
would be a radical departure, to the
extent Of suspending the disposition Of
public lands pending their classifica-
tion, but, as matter of fact, large
portion of the undisposed of public
lands has already been classified by
the department. but such classification
has not the authoritative basis or ef-
feet to accomplish the result above out

HUGHES PAID
NOBLE TRIBUTE
Taft's Letter to the Governor
John A. johnson Memorial
Full of Praise

New York, Nov. 29.-Tribute to the
memory Of John A. johnson, late
Democratic governor of Minnesota,
was paid by President Taft, by Gov
ernor Hughes of this state, by Chas.
A. Towne, former United States SEN
ator from Minnesota and others, at
a memorial meeting held today at the
Broadway tabernacle here under the
auspices of the American-Scandina
an society.
Governor Hughes was the principal
speaker; Mr.. Taft's tribute came in
the form of letter, regretting his
inability to attend. Mr.. Towne, an
intimate friends of the late governor,
eulogized him as man and states
man, "who was destined to become
the candidate of one of the great par
ties to the highest office in the gift
of the people of America"
The auditorium of the tabernacle
was packed during the service. Presi-
dent Taft's letter, which was read,
said in part:
II know Governor Johnson, valued
him highly as friend, and regarded
his promotion to the governorship of
q great state and to national prom
inence as statesman and citizen, as
one of the best evidences of the
equality Of opportunity that we have
nthis country, and of the fact that
high character, earnest endeavor and
great ability and intelligence will en-
able man to raise himself from the
humblest position in society to a
leader among US" y
OF Governor Johnson's great fol-
lowing in Minnesota, Governor
Hughes, who had met him personally
but once, said:
People learned to trust him moro
the better they knew him. His re-
peated civtories in state. the ma
jority Of whose voters were apparent
ly Of another political faith. shows
what strong hold he had, not sim
ply upon the afiectionate regard of
the people, but upon the judgment of
the people, for Governor johnson
could not have carried Minnesota
merely out of sentiment. He carried
Minnesota again and again because
the sentiment was supplemented by
sincere respect and by Affection"
