tuated by a desire to iGjure the per
sons effected? If it were necessary
to decide the case upon the question

Guiding it was my duty to send these
people to washington for trial. But
the Indictment charges them with
the commission of a crime in the DIS
trict of Columbia. The constitution
of the United States provides that
the accused shall be tried in the
state or district where the offense was
committed.
when these defendants put the
papers containing the libelous art
cles into the postoff1ce of indianapolis
either it became a separate independ-
ent crime in every district or state
into which the papers went, or there
was but one crime, and that here.
Il think between these two views
the latter is the more reasonable ana
correct one. Where people print a
newspaper here for circulation
throughout the counties and districts
there is but one publication, that one
here. If that is true, there is no pub
LEGATION in Washington. If the his
tory of liberty means anything, the
prosecuting authority should not have
the power to select the tribunal at
the capital nor should the govern
ment have the power to drag citizens
there for trial"

PEARY'S EVIDENCE
OF COOKS FAILURE:

would talk of any hunting trip.
To go 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 out the other boy came
in and was asked to show where he
had gone with Dr. Cook. This he did,
ALSO without making any marks, and
indicated the same route and the
same details as did the first boy.
When he was through, Panikpah,
the father of I-tOOk-a-shoo, very in
telligent man, who was in the party
Of Eskimos that came back from DR..
Cook from the northern end of Nan
sens Strait, who is familiar as a hun
ter with the Jones Sound region, and
who has been in Commander Peary's
various expeditions for some fifteen
years, came in and indicated the same
localities and details as the two boys.
hCl bAlC Ii 81 IVY was III SNSAS ia
again, and with a pencil he traced on
the map their route, members of our
party writing upon the chart where,
according to the boys statement, they
had killed deer, bear, some OF their
dogs, seal, walrus and musk-oxen.
The second boy was then called in
and the two went over the chart to-
gether, the second boy suggesting
some changes as noted hereafter.
Finally, Panikpah, the father, was
again called in to verify details of the
portions of the route with which he
was personally familiar.
The bullA of the boys testimony was
not taken by Commander Peary, nor
in his presence, a fact that obviates
any possible claim that they were
awed by him
Certain questions on Independent
lines from the direct narrative of the
Eskimo boys were suggested by Com-
mander Peary to some of us, and were
put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later Commander Peary asked
the Eskimo boys two or three casual
questions on minor points that had
occurred to him.
During the taking of this testimony,
it developed that DR.. Cook had told
these boys, as he told Mr.. Whitney
and Billy Pritchard, thu cabin boy,
that they must not tell Commander
Peary or any of US anything about
their journey and the boys stated DR..
Cook had threatened themi If they
should tell anything
The narrative of these Eskimos IS
as follow
They with Dr. Cook, F'rancke and
nine other Eskimos, left Anoratok,
crossed Smiths Sound to Cape Sa-
bine, slept in Commander Peary's old
house in Payer Harbor, then went
through Rice Strait TO Buchanan Bay.
After q few marches Francke and
three Eskimos returned to Anoratok.
Dr.. Cook, with the others, then pro-
ceeded up Flagler Bay, a branch OF
Buchanan Bay. and crossed ElIesmere
Land through the valley pass at the
head of Flagler Bay, indicated by
Commander Peary in 1888, ana utli
lied by Sverdrup in 1893, TO the head

DIR, GORDON DIES
AFTER OPERATION

Chicago, H., Oct. 13.-Dr. William
A Gordon, head of the Northern hos.
pital for the insane at Oshkosh, and
an alienist of national reputation, died
here yesterday morning at the Chicago
hospital. where he came for treat
ment.
The news of the death Of DR.. Cor
don will be received with sorrow not
only throughout Wisconsin but every
where in the United States, as he was
a physician with a wide acquaintance
and had made a record for himself as
an alienist that had attracted wide
spread attention. Dr.. Gordon was not
only a physician, but character of
great originality and geniality, and to
know him was to love him, his kindly
nature having been such as to attract
friends from all ranks of life.
His Illness a Surprise.
Dr. Gordon's constitution was robust
and it was with surprise that his
friends learned some seven weeks ago
that he was i'll with stomach trouble.
He tried treatment at various sana-
forums, and finally his failure TO i'm
prove, led him to consult Chicago spe-
cialists. AS a result, an operation was
performed a few weeks ago for cancer.
He did not rally from the operation as
was expected, and upon the visit of a
Chicago surgeon to the Northern hos
pitaI, Sunday, it was decided to re-
move Or. Gordon to Chicago. The
trip evidently weakened him. as he
died yesterday, almost less than %
hours after reaching that city.
Born in Pennsylvania.
Dr. William Alexander Gordon was
born at Washington, Pa, October 27
came from a family noted for literary
and general intellectual ability. He
resided at Washington after his fa-
theirs death in 1857, receiving his edu
cation in a seminary I'm s@@S Gefx.
When he was about IT years of age he
was a clerk in the Office of his uncle,
Governor Pierpont. When he was Is
years old he enlisted in the army at
Baltimore as a member Of the Mary
land cavalry regiment Of the civil
w2r His mother tried to secure his
elease, but the boy did not want to
leave the army and remained until
the close of the war
Married In Oshkosh.
DR.. Gordon was married in Oshkosh
III 1872 to Miss Helen Jackson, daugh-
ak,s toe
of police and the second mayor OF
Oshkosh. Mrs. Gordon died on Feb.

STATE RANKS SECOND IN
PRODUCTION OF RED APPLE
This State Promises to Become of
First Importance in Great
Industry.

AS bearing on the fruit situation
in Washington it is interesting 70
not in a statistical article published
in the current number of the Satur-
day Evening Post, that although this
state at present ranks seventeenth in
the list of states raising apples in
point OF the number of bearing trees,
it ranks second in apple productive
ness.
The article contains many very in
teresting facts in regard TO the place
that this state occupies in fruit pro-
duction and its growing importance
as fruit center. Following are eX-
cerpts:
In support of the belief that the
domestic supply is insufficient is the
fact that, if it had not been for the
enormous crops in the Pacific and
northwestern states and Provinces
last year, an apple famine would
have resulted In many of the mid
die western and eastern states the
yields were small last season, due
to the failures in numerous in
stances, but generally because Of
pests. Orchards had been neglected
and, In scores of places, the trees
have been permitted to die through
lack of even ordinary attention,
while, again, in others the growers
did not know how to combat insects
and diseases. 1t was to improve
these conditions. by making investi
cations and suggesting remedies TO
bring about more satisfactory re-
suits, that the growers were invited
to come to Spokane.
I'm 1896, the total product of the
apple crop of the country was co.
100000 barrels. or 172,675. 900
bushels. Since then hundreds of
thousands of acres have been added,
and methods of fruit-growing have
improved. yet the government re-
ports show that the aggregate crop
in all the states in the union was not
more than 25,o00.0Oo barrels. or
60 500. 200 bushels. in 1908.
ITO understand the decreases in
the production of apples in the union
in the last twelve years reference
should be made to the statistics COM
piled by the federal department Of

WILLIAM HALEY DEAD

Last Sunday a midnight death
claimed William Hatley, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. a. Hatley, Of
this city. He had been in bad
health for several years ana the
end came not as surprise to the
family, yet it seems that the
loved ones can never be fully
prepared to welcome death. Will
lam was a noble young man and
none but God can understand
why he was taken when yet in
the prime of young manhood and
everything looked 50 bright for
him.
The funeral was conducted
from 1.-THE residence Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock by Rev. J. M.
Alexander and his remains were
buried in De Ann cemetery.
We sympathize with the be-
reaved family in the loss of their
beloved son.
