CHARLES WAKE DESERTS
 THE COOK STANDARD
Stauneh Supporter of the Explorer De-
 clares He Was Deceived.

New York. Dec. 26.@Charles Wake of this city, Arctic explorer. member of the Explorers club and heretofore one of the staunchest supporters of Dr. Frederick A. Cook deserted the Cook standard tonight Although Ioys al for several days after the adverse decision of the university of Copen1 hagen on Cooks return, Wake now says that he was deceived by the ex- plorer. He adds that he does not know where Dr. Cook is, except that he is in Europe, though he is aware of Mrs. Cooks whereabouts, which he de- clfned to reveal.
 Cook has had ample time to express himself since the records were exam ined.' said MT. Wake, but he has not done so.
 80 long as live I shall never for get the degree of nAnchaIance with which he waved his hand toward the beautifully engraved degree and the handsome gold medal that had been conferred on him by Copenhagen, and replied There is the best evidence
 T do not know who is caring for his children in a New York boarding school, but presume relatives are do- ing it. How much money he made upon his trip and what settlement he has made of this I don't know.
 T confidently expected that he would meet Mrs. Cook when she land ed in Europe and rush the verdicts to Copenhagen, which he had ample time to do before the verdict was ar,. nounced. Through his failure to come out from his seclusion and defend him self since the announcement of the verdict, which he undoubtedly has read in the newspapers. wherever he is. l have become convinced that my confidence in him was sadly mis- placed.'

Baby Expires in Bellevue Plugging
 Doll That Caused His Injuries.

New York. Dec. 2s.-Santa Claus found two year old Charlie PelsanE in Roosevelt hospital yesterday morn ing and in~the afternoon the little boy died. The Christmas figure he seem ed to like most was his sisters doll, which had caused his death.
 His mother was sorubbing at her home. 446 West Forty-first street, on Friday, and she had set . deep pan of boiling water on the floor where she could get at it easily. Charlie's sister had received the doll as an ante Christmas present, and he was dancing around the room with the doll in his hands. He turned to run backward, fell into the boiling water. and was so badly burned that there was no hope for his life.
 The doctors at Roosevelt hospital, whither his mother ran with the boy in her arms, said he could live only a little while. His parents and his sls- ter stayed with him. They gave him his presents yesterday morning. He fondled them a while. and then asked for the doll. His sister brought it to him; he died with 1t fin his arms.

Ex-President Uneovers When Abreast of Cruiser Albany, But Gets No Re-

Managua, Dec. 26.-Jose Santo Ze- lava, the ex-president of Nicaragua, has taken himself out of the country and is now aboard the Mexican gum boat General Guerrero. bound for Sa- lima Cruz.
 Under cover of darkness Thursday morning, Ze1aya, accompanied by a heavily armed guard, proceeded to Co., rinto, in which port the Mexican war ship had been lying for several days close beside the United States pro- tected cruiser Albany Other Ameri- can warships swung at anchor in the harbor with marines aboard lazily awaiting instructions.
 Farewell Salute of Thirteen Guns.
 zelaya's coming was unheralded, but a guard from the Guerrero received him, and soon he was safe under the protection of the Mexican flag. At 5 o'clock In the afternoon the warship weighed anchor and pointed out to sea. A salute of thirteen guns was fired from the shore. and hundreds of soldiers and citizens waved the for mer dictator a farewell salute from the shore. Zelaya stood alone and waved back in answer. He uncov- cred when abreast of the Albany, but the American cruiser made no re- sponse. Then he turned again toward the shore. gazing until out of sight. Why United States Did Not Block the
 Flight.
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 26.-The ob- vious absence of any effort on the part of the United States representa- lives in Nicaragua to block the flight of ex-President Zelaya is accepted as an indication that the position origi- nally taken by the secretary of state in the note with regard to the Cam non and Groce affair was not altogeth- CT tenable. The right of asylum is one which international law requires, and President Zelaya, in demanding such a right from the commander of the Mexican gunboat Guerrero, regis tered request that could not well be refused. With no protest from the American authorities against the ac- ceptance of Zelaya's person, the Mex ican commander had no alternative but to aid him in leaving Nicaragua New President Finds an Empty Treas-
 ury.
 Managua. Nicaragua, Dec. 26.-The new president of Nicaragua. Jose Ma driz, is taking hold of affairs with a strong hand. Zelaya left him the leg acy of an empty treasury and soon after President Madriz had publicly announced in effect that the country was practically on the verge of bank ruptcy, the arrest of Joaquin Passes, Zelaya's son-iTl-law, and Ernesto Mar tinez, Zelaya's last finance minister, was ordered. They are now in the hands of the authorities, charged with l of public funds, fail | ure to register government bonds, and | the circulation of unsigned paper l money.

mined, bulkheads were destroyed. and
 persons living some distance from the coast found themselves looking over the open ocean.
 Extensive Prostration of Wire Service
 The prostration of the wire service, especially in southeastern New Eng land was more extensive than for many years. The teleDhone and tele- graph companies had a few wires through to New York, by way of northern circuits, and communication with the north and east was in fairly good shape tonight. But Providence clung to the outside world by only a single wire, while communication to- ward Fall River. Newport and New Bedford and Cape Cod by ordinary lines ceased at Brockton. The wire less. however, established communi- cation with Cape Cod and there was much relief when word was received from the famous peninsula that its long, sandy beach had not been mark ed by wreck.
 Trains Held for Hours.
 It Is many years since the railroads and street railway companies have been so badly blocked. The wet snow proved less of a handicap than the fallen wires and telegraph poles for the steam railroads, but the street railways could make but little prog gress in clearing their lines of the heavy drift. The delay on the rail- roads was worse to the north and south than to the west. Between Providence and New London fallen wires and poles held trains for many hours. while eastbound trains over the Boston & Maine for Maine and New Brunswick points were badly delayed.
 Many Large Cities in Darkness.
 Fallen wires for a radius of twenty or thirty miles around Boston and throughout southeastern Massachu- sets and Rhode Island are reported and have cut out completely electric plants in those communities that were served by the overhead sys- tenn. Large cities such as Cambridge, Lynn, Brockton, Provi- dence, Fall River and New Bedford, were in darkness. except for the light by the full moon behind heavy banks of clouds
 It will probably be many days be- fore the full extent of the storm is known or the damages repaired.

Definition Given Out Sunday by the Highest
 American Legal Authority
FINAL DECISION ON THE SUBJECT
The President Holds that Whkey Made of Neutral Spirits is Whiskey when Reduced to Potable Strength-Di- rectons for the Proper Branding of Various Varie- ties of Liquor" Straight Whiskeys" and Blends"

Washington, D. C., Dec. 26.-The def- milton of the word "whiskey" by the highest American legal authority was given today, when President Taft rem dered the final decision on the subject in connection with the construction of the pure food law with reference to labelling. The president held that whis- key made of neutral spirits Is whiskey when reduced to potable strength.
 What "BIend" Is.
 The president covered other details in his decision and gave directions for the proper branding of various varie- ties of liquor holding among other things that Canadian Club whiskey and whiskey made from a mixture of Straight whiskey and neutral spir- its" may be called blend
 Branding of Whiskeys.
 According to the instructions under this decision straight whiskeys" will hereafter be branded as such, but the brand may be accompanied by the legend aged in wood" and whiskey made from rectified. distilled or neu- tral spirits will be branded so as to make known the principal ingredient. In addition, if they so desire, manu- lecturers of straight whiskey may also use the word ''bourbon' or rye" as the fact may warrant.
 The definition of blends" is not made broad enough to include neutral spirits made from molasses and re- duced to potable strength. This article, the president says, cannot be labeled as whiskey; it is rum.
 Chemists Taken to Task.
 The president takes Dr.--Wiley and other chemists to task for a "funda- mental error" as to what the name 'whiskey" has included during the past 100 years, and he also expressed the opinion that MT. Bowers makes 'too nice a distinction in his deductions. If, he says, speaking of the opinion of MT Bowers, high wines at from 140 degrees to 160 degrees. when re- duced to potable strength, and contain ing very small quantity of fusel oil, favored by burnt sugar, are whiskey, as he has found then the mere i'm in the process by continuous
Norwich bulletin., 1909-12-27

distillation so as to give product of from 160 degrees to 1SS degrees proof and still further to reduce it's fusel oil, Is not to change it's whole nature or to make what was genuine 'whiskey' 1mi- tation whiskey,' because of a slightly reduced trace of one ingredient. The distinction is too impracticable, in my judgment, for the execution of the law"
 Public May Know What They Drink.
 Speaking further, he says:
 The public will be made to know exactly the kind of whiskey they buy and drink. This was the intent of the act. It inJures no mans lawful busi- ness, because it only insists upon the statement of the truth in the label"
 Roosevelt Verdict Reversed.
 The decision follows the lines of tho conclusions reached by the royal com- mission of Great Britain and reverses the verdict of former President Roose- parte, Solicitor General Bowers and Dr. Wiley chief of the bureau of chemistry. The Roosevelt Bonaparte- Wiley order denied the use of the word "whiskey" in branding to all liouor except straight whisSey," the whiskey which Is aged in charred oak caskets. Mir. Bowers extended the use of the
  distlllde spirits" President Taft goes @ step farther and includes blends and whiskey made from neutral spirits"
 Perversion of Pure Food Act.
 Elaborating his conclusions, tho president says:
 After an examination of all the evi- dence, 1t seems to be overwhelmingly established that for a hundred years the term 'whiskey' fin the trade and among the customers has included all potable liquor, distilled from grain; that the straight whisksy is, as com pared with the whislkey made by recti- fication or redistillation and fiavorinm and coloring matter, a subsequent im- provement, and therefore it Is a per version of the pure food act to attempt now to limit the meaning of the term 'whiskey' to that which modern manu- fracture and taste have made the most desirable variety"

 The storm was sighted on the weather chart on Friday far down in the Mississippi valley. It gathered strength on it's way up the coast. but did not prove a menace until late last night when 1t was central some where off the southeastern coast of New EnglaHd. From midnight until late today it's destructive powers were Unusually extensive and severe.

 Big Tides the Feature.
 The big tide, however, was the fea- fure of the storm.
