Washington, Dec. 23.-Reaffirming
his complete confidence in DR.. Cook.
Rear Admiral w. S. Schley. retired.
has called upon Commander Peary to
submit his proofs that he had reached
the north pole to some scientific body
other than the National Geographical
society.
This, the admiral declared, should
be done at once in the interests of
justice and to establish beyond ques-
tion the claims OF Peary. The admiral
believes that the same body which
threw out and repudiated Cooks data
should be permitted to pass upon the
data submitted by Peary TO the geo.
graphic society.
Danes are Men to Examine Proofs.
THE Danes are the best posted
body of men in the world on Arctic
matters" he said. "The consistory OF
the University of Copenhagen should
be given the opportunity to examine
the Peary proofs, for in that way they
would be submitted to the same test
that was applied to those of Cook,
The consistory which was regarded by
the civilized world as more than
friendly to DR.. Cook, showed by its
action in turning down the explorer
that 1t holds the scales of justice as
It sees them, even and honestly"
Moreover, Admiral Schley believes
that the submission of the proofs to
Copenhagen should be insisted upon
by Peary whatever the attitude of the
National Geographic society may be.
It was suggested by the officer that
the society some time ago officially
had declared its intention to let
scientific bodies of reputable standing
examine and test the Peary proofs
when they had been passed upon by
the society.
but the organization has not done
It." he continued. 80 far there has
been shown no disposition to carry
out its avowed intentions, has there ?"
Believes Both Reached Pole.
Admiral Schley declined to say of
what grounds he took exceptions to
the finding of the scientists of the
University of Copenhagen in regard to
Cooks claims. He merely reaffirmed
his belief in the explorer. adding that
ne believed also that Peary too. had
gained the top of the earth.
The Importance of the admirars de-
mand is increasing by the fact that he
has had wide experience in the far
north. In 1884 he was in command of
the Thetis expedition which resulted
In the rescue of Lieutenant Greedy and
his six men who had been cast away
at Cape Sabine and whom the civil
lied world had practically given up
for lost For this rescue, Admiral
Schley, then captain in the service.
was awarded gold watch and vote
of thanks by the Maryland legislature
and a medal of honor by the Massa-
chusetts Humane society.
Shortly after his return from the
Thetis expedition. Captain Schley pub
lished n book. "The rescue of Greedy"
which recounted his struggle in the
frozen region.

ic society decline to discuss the sug-
gestion of the retired naval officer.
The society Is still smarting under
the somewhat curt reply made by the
University of Copenhagen to its re-
quest that committee representing
the society be permitted to be present
when Dr. Cooks data was examined.
While recognizing the complete right
OF the Danish scientists to decline such
a request, American savants feel that
the Danes were needlessly brusque in
their declination.

Detachments of revolutionists under
Generals Chamorro, Mena, Fornos,
Diaz. Matuty and Hanche are today
pursuing the regiments of the gov-
ernment forces who escaped capture
following the engagements at Rama
and Recoro last Monday and Tues
day. They expect to come upon the
fugitives near Chile, according to
messages from the fighting district to-
day, where the final battle will prob
ably be fought. The exact status of
the situation at the front is impos-
sible to obtain today owing to the fact
that tre revolutionists control the
telegraph lines and have established
strict censorship of the messages.
While the Zelayans met defeat at

That Awful Tennessee Jury.

Tennessee is unfortunate N that the
most important issue which its courts
have ever been called upon to tTy-One
involving the standing Of State as q
lzw-abiding commonwealth, the pro-
lection Of the lives Of its citizens the
preservation Of its institutions must
be left to the decision Of 9 dOzennumb-
skulls.
The jury finally selected IN the Cooper
trial is said by competent judges to be
one Of the most shamefulseOmbinatiO
Of dense iIIiteracy and ignorance ever
collected together in a court Of justice.
Under the severe tests applied N the
selection Of jurors, it was practically
impossible for a man Of even average
intelligence to quality, as those who
had read about the Carmaek tragedy,
talked about It or formed or expressed
opinions abOutit we're rejected Hence
only those unsOphistieated citizens who
cOuIdn't read and. theFefOre, didn't
know enough about the case to talk
about il or think about it were eOmpe-
tent to Try this great issue between the
law and the accused
-Four Of the bright and shining lights
Of Tennessee citizenship who sit on the
jury as finally seeepteddOn't know "a
from 20" and unable to write their
own names or read q circus-pOster.
Two others can barely understand the
English language. Eleven Of them
swore that they had not read q news
paper since the killing, which is sufi-
Gent in itself to unfit them for the du-
ties Of the citizen. The one man WHO
had read the papers and who must,
therefore, be the dominating intelh-
geOce Of the body, had been out Of the
State since before the killing.
What sort of justice win be handed
out by this bunch" Of "beneheads" is
beyond prediction. AS a general thing
q man who hasn't sufficient intelligence
to know and understand what is going
on in his own State or to take eOgniz-
ance of such q startling event as the
murder Of Carmaek, is apt to act &C
cOrding to instinct, ike a dumb brute,
and to be governed entirely in render
ing a verdict by the sort Of impression
the trial makes upon his crude passion
and prejudice.
Such a jury is as likely to render a
Vedict fer the hanging of one of the
lawyers or the Judge as any other ver-
diet and, with such an aggregation sit
ting in judgment, poor, blind Justice is
in pitiable plight, indeed. Tampa

Knn-Dry Them.

Editor Sparkman, of the Perry Her
aid, gaily announces that he has al
ready received enough sweet potatoes
on subscription to last him a full year.
Now, if the optimistic scribe will only
give out the receipt for making them
keep a year the rest of US will be hap
py. The sole fault of the sweet potato
is that its life of usefulness is limited
in the individual specimen to three or
four months. Gainesville Sun.
The sweet potato growers in North
and South Carolina and Virginia build
great kilns in which the tubers are
placed and heated sufficiently to drive
out the surplus moisture whichit is said
causes the potato to decay. When this
is done they keep indefinitely and the
eating quality is not at all affected. If
such a process was adopted in Florida
it would doubtless save many thousands
of dollars to the sweet potato growers.
