NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR LOSES
IN CONTEST FOR FREE LUMBER
AFTER STRENUOUS DAYS BAT
TLE-poLLIvER PRovEs TO BE
A"QUITTER."

Washington, May 25.-No single
piece OF lumber was ever used more
effectively as see saw by children
than was the xrAat ilnherri Industry
today by the United States senate.
The lumber schedule of the tariff
bill was under consideration almost the
entire day yesterday, with Senators
Root, Hepburn. Borah and Dolliver
contending on the one hand for a pro-
lection of the industry, and Senators
C1app, Burkett and McCumber argu-
ing as strenuously against that policy.
The day closed with more than a two
thirds vote against McCumber's free
lumber amendment, the ballot show
ing 25 for and Sc against.
Surprise of Day.
The surprise of the day was the at :
titude of Senator Dolliver, who here
tofore has stood with the "progres-
sives" throughout the present tariff
fight He today took positive posi-
ton against the radical demand for
free lumber, but expressed the opinion
that the industry would not suffer
from reduction OF the Dingley rates.
Senator Root opposed the days pro-
ceedings with close argument in ia
vor of a differential on dressed lum-
ber. Senators Borah and Hepburn of
daho. contended for the highest duty
on lumber, and Mr.. Borah entered upon
an argument to show that the policy of
protection is "a system" and cannot
be maintained If there. are to be con-
slant exceptions to it as desired in the
interest of free lumber. On the other
hand Clapp and Burkett argued that
lumber can be produced as cheaply in
Canada as in the United States. and
contended that the lumber industry Of
the country would not be endangered
by the free admission of the Canadian
product. incidentally Senator Clapp
paid a glowing tribute to the Canadian
government, saying that 1t was equal
to the best.
Criticises Republicans.
Senator Hepburn spoke of the repub-
| lican platform of the last campaign In
way that brought down some criti-
cfsm on his head and Senator Bailey
declared that he did not propose to be
bound by the platform adopted by the
democrats at Denver. Mr. Bailey made
| a speech Of some length towards the
close of the session, in which he ex-
pressed the opinion that enactment OF
pending tariff bin would see the dis
integration Of the republican party.

PEARY HURLS LONG IMPENDING
THUNDERBOLT At COOKS HEAD
COOK REPLIES TO
PEARY'S STATEMENT

Cleveland, Oct. 13.--Replying to
Commander Peary's published chafg-
es that he did not reach the pole, Dr.
Cook said today: Harry Whitney,
the big game hunter, said that the
Eskimos questioned by Commander
Peary did not understand his ques-
tions. Neither did they understand
the map and their replies, being
twisted, suit the perverted interest"
This is the first strong language
used by Cook. 1t came as the result
of the signed charges by Peary and
four Eskimos of his party that Cooks
Eskimos contradicted themselves and
also Cooks account.
Peary's statement declares that
Cooks two Eskimos admitted to
him and his own Eskimos that the
Brooklynite did not reach the pole
that his farthest point north was cape
Thomas Hubbard in latitude S1.5
Cook replies that he instructed his
Eskimos not to tell OF his successful
journey and that they had so promis-
ed and had kept their word Cook
added that he is bringing his Eskimos
back at his own expense and also
that Whitney will vouch for the
truth. He said the entire records of
of Copenhagen and as soon as they
are passed upon. will be given to the
entire scientific world.
