TAFTHASbLUNDERED
PRESIDENT APPARENTLY MISLED
BY DESIGNING men.
Herman Ridder, President OF the
american Newspaper Publishers
Association so Charges in Open
Letter. Declares President Was
Wrong on Print Paper Schedule.

CHICAGO, H"I. 19.-President Taft
apparently was led into a serious
blunder in the closing days of the
recent session of congress when he
changed his attitude on the print pa :
per schedule, according to an open
letter addressed to the chief executive
and signed by Herman Ridder of New
York, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers association.
Mr.. Riders letter was written
some time ago and was given out to-
day.
Mr.. Riders letter is as follows;
ITO the Presidents: The full text
of your address at Winona, Mimi, on
the tariff revision has just come 10
hand. With the utmost respect We
submit that your statement respect
ing the paper schedule shows that
you could not have correctly read or
understood what the print paper par
agraph contained as it passed the
house of representatives.
You We're apparently misled by
designing men into a serious blum
der, when, in the closing days of
the tariff conference, they induced
you to reverse your previous attitude
upon print paper and changed your
notions of what the Mann committee
recommended and of what the house
of representatives had approved.
THE Mann committee. after q
months investigation, marked by un-
usual thoroughness, reported that a
rate of 81 would cover the difference
in cost of production at home and
abroad. The draft proposed abso-
| lutely safeguarded American paper
mills against the serious Canadian
tangle, which your advice to the tar
| iff conferees has since precipitated.
"The fixing of the rate on print
paper at $1.75 per ton, which you
advised has decided the province OF
! Quebec to prohibit the expectation
of it's pulp wood and many American
| paper mills must close or move tC
| Canada to obtain their supplies oi

UNCLE JOE IS WRATHY.
Gar Of United States Reads Cummlls
and LaFollette Out OF Re-
publican Party.

ELGIN. Ill.,, Oct 19.-Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon tonight attacked
the Republican insurgents in congress
and defended himself in vehement
two-hour address before the Illinois
Mayors association.
Speaker Cannon vigorously denied
that his election as speaker was
brought about through deal with
Tammany hall The speaker also as
serted that Representative Fowler OF
New Jersey was dropped as chairman
of the house currency ana Dahklh
committee because of his retusal 10
report to the house an emergency
currency measure.
II was over in Iowa last week. he
said, "and found that it is an open
secret there that Senator Cummins
not only purposes to join hands with
Bryan. but says the agitation Will not
stop and that he will appeal to the
people until the tariff is revised ac-
cording to his notions.
IN this campaign to be waSed by
Senator Cummins the issue appears
to be whether the seven senators ana
the 20 members of the house VINO Vot-
ed against the tariff bill constitute
the Republican party or whether the
majority of the Republican members
of congress and the president make
up the Republican party
Those people under the leadershll
of Senator Cummins and Lafollette
call themselves Republicans, but II
they are. then | am something else.

INTKODTCTlON BY PE.ARY.


Some Of my reasons for saying that
DR. Cook did not go to the North Pole
will DE understood by those who read
the folloWin" statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him. and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go Several EskimOs
who started with Or Cook from An.
oratok in February. 1905 We're at Etah
when l arrived there in August. 1908
They told me hat Dr. Cook had with
him. after they left. two Eskimo boys
or young men. two SledgcS and some
twenty dogs. The boys We're I-took-a-
shoe and Ah-pe-ah had known
them from their childhood One was
about eighteen and the other about
nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement !
touched (\erhe. near Cape Chalom in
August. 1903. and nine days before
reaching Etah. the Eskimos told me,
In n general way, where DR. Cook had
been; that he had wlntered in Jones
Sound and that he had told the white
! men at Etah that he had been long
way north. but that the boys who were
with him. l-took shoe and Ah-pe-lah.
said that this was not so. The Eski-
mos laughed at DR. Cooks story On
reaching Etah, l talked with the Eski.
mos there and with the two boys and
asked them to describe DR. Cooks jour.
ney to members of my party and my
self. This they did in the manner
stated below.

|SIGNED STATEMENT OF PEARY.
BARTLETT, MCMILLAN, RORUP
AND HENSON. IN REGARD TO
TESTIMONY OF COOKS TWO
ESKIMO BOYS
The two Eskimo boys. I-took-a shoe
and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied DR.
Cook while he was away from Anora-
tok in 1905 md 1909. were questioned
separately and independently. and
We're corroborated by Panikpah. the
father of one of them 0-took "a -shoo).
who was personally familiar with the
first third and the last third of their
journey, and who said that the route
for the remaining third, as shown by
them. was as described to him by his
son after his return with DR.. Cook.
Notes of their statements were taken
by several Of us. and no one of us has
any doubt that they told the truth.
Their testimony was unshaken by
cross-eXamination. was corroborated
by other men in the tribe, and was
ELECTED neither by threats nor prom
ises. the two boys and their father
talking of their journey and their ex-
perienceS in the same way that they
would talk of any hunting trip.
To 60 more into details: One OF the
boys was called in. and. with a chart
on the table before him. WAS asked to
show where he had gone with Dr..
Cook This he did. pointing out with
his finger on the map, but not making
any marks upon it.
As he went ont. the other boy came
in and was asked to show where he
had gone with DIR. Cook This he did,
also without making any marks. and
Indicated the same route and the same
details as d.d the first boy

The LEARY WILSON FIGHT WAS NOT
ALLOWED BY The NEW YORK POLICE

There we're about 800 who tried in vain
to enter. 1t was probably the largest
crowd that ever went from these parts
to witness a mill, and they were keenly
disappointed over the police action, but
almost everybody quietly went from
the building. receiving assurances that
the bout would come off and they would
receive due notification. There were
prominent men at the rinsside.
Both Leary and Wilson looked to be
in excellent shape, and If they went on
as scheduled a warm battle would have
been. the result. They. too. seemed
sorely disappointed, along with the
fans, but were told to continue their
training, as the fight would surely come
off. While the. ~'coppers' were In the
club several wrestling bouts n a
| Simon pure boxing exhibition was
| given. Charley Ross, of Jersey, lost his
| wrestling bout with Young Sharkey
after a game struggle. A thirty-min
ute wrestling bout was announced, and
the crowd then determined Leary and
Wilson would not 60 on. !.
Some attention was attracted by the
large assemblage present in the neigh
| borhood, and it was wondered where
| they all came from, Newark sent a
| big delegation. and 1t seemed that Or
| ange sports turned out en- masse. The
| keen interest displayed in the fight war
| remarkable, and that the two will sure
bly, settle on who is the States welter-
: weight champion seems positive.

he would raid the place. An effort will

About 1900 Jerseyites were in and
around the clubhouse when Inspector
Walsh elbowed his way in. Manager
Buckley tried to assure him h two
boxers were legitimate members of
the organization and that the affair
would be properly conducted, but the
police held to their declarations.
The announcement was then made
from the ring that a proper restraining
order had been granted from the SUI
preme Court, but Commissioner Bing-
ham had ordered the police to get in
the various clubs by force, if necessary.
Then the Jersey fans, mutterine
''stung,' went home.
Neither Leary nor Wilson got inside
the building. They repaired to a hotel
opposite and sat around several hours
