GRAVES HITS
 YALE SOCIETY

The Robin Hood society of the Yale Forestry school has gotten itself in disrepute with the faculty and with Director Graves in particular recent ly. principally because of letters that are said to have been circulated by ns members and sent to Washington to aid the ambitions of those that are members of the order. Although there will not be any official action 1t is understood that the society will die natural death within few years. this being the expressed wish of the faculty and director and of many members of the Forestry schoo. who are not members of the organiza- tion.
 The first intimation of active disap- proval on the part of the head of the school came recently when Director Henry $. Graves was making -an ad- dress to the junior class of the school Ir 1t, the director made charges against the members of the society as a whole. declaring that he did not know who they were. but saying that they had circulated reports that all of the good men were in the limited ranks of the order. that they had ''pulr' with the faculty. and. what he considered most reprehensible.. that they had written to Washington ex- tolling their members and making ef- forts to get the members placed to ad- vantage in the government forestry service. so that.he declared. the school and the society especially had a ''black eye" at the national capital

MelIen Not Going
 To Consult Taft


 President Charles s. Mellen of the New Haven road returned last night from Boston on the Merchants Linn ited and went directly to New York to meet Mrs. Mellen. who had pre- ceded him. on the Knickerbocker ex- press.
 The report was denied that he was contemplating a trip to Washington to consult with President Taft on in- terstate commerce legislation. No special car Is being fitted out for him.
 There is some talk of this character from Washington. however. Private advices from Washington yesterday declared that J. P. Morgan has not been laboring with Taft to get com promises in the message to congress as was rumored on Saturday. It will be remembered that J. J. Hill. after an interview with the president. said there would be no drastic legislation in congress. and J. P. Morgan was very likely informed by MT. Hill what his conference with Taft brought forth.

Confronted by the possibility of be- ing compelled to pump water from the Connecticut River, as the result of a lack of the usual heavy fall rains. Hartford has been looking for some effective means of purifying the water and has found in Harrisburg. Pa. which takes water from the Susque- hanna River. a method which appears to accomplish the desired object It has been in use there for four months and chemical analyses show an aver age of 9e per cent purity so far as harmful bacteria are concerned The chemicals used are chloride of lime and hypochlorate of lime injected into the river water at the intake. and their notion is said to be quick Nothing Is said as to whether or not these chemicals give an unpleasant taste to the water. Whether the process has been in use long enough to fully test It's bacteria-destroying power, is also question. If it proves satisfactory In all particulars. the use of river wa ter suspected of pollution or actually polluted becomes possible and water famines due to protracted drouths will cease to be feared by cities located on pr near large streams.

New Haven railroad labor troubles continue to multiply. No sooner have the railway clerks affair and similar difficulties been disposed of for the show their hand.
 The Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen on the New Haven began yesterday a canvass of a presentation of new demands to the Boston convention of the General Chairmen of the Railroad Labor or ganization of the east. This confer ence covers all of the railroads east of the Mississippi and north of the Chesapeake and Ohio lines. Various increases will be asked for at this con- vention, the amount varying accord ing to the rates paid on each road. The rates paid on the New Haven road is said to be fair.
 The New Haven firemen constitute a most aggressive body on the New Haven system. Many have said that in its final analysis 1t is determined to Locomotive Engineers. which has al- ways favored the railroads in labor troubles as claimed.
 The signatures that the firemen were seeking yesterday from the men as they left the pay cars back up reouest to the road which accords with the demands of the locomotive firemen west of Chicago. who call for a sweeping increase in wages running from 20 per cent. upwards
 The new schedule called for recog- nizes the trend toward identification of steam roads by seeking to have the word "engineer" construed to include electric and motor engineer and the word 'firemen" to include helpers on motor engines.
 Furthermore 1t Is said that the, New Haven road firemen was a six hour day rate on way freight jobs and an men to g.

Alabama has law providing for ocal option by counties upon the retail sale of liquors. On Monday. the State voted upon and rejected a proposed >onstitutional amendment prohibiting the retail sale of liquor within the en- lire State Alabama may be called an agricultural State. a condition which usually makes for prohibition. put the election returns show that the rural sections voted heavily against rhe amendment- This may perhaps De due to the very comprehensive terms of the proposed amendment. un- fer which householder might be pun sfed for keeping on hand for home use a bottle of whiskey. wine or beer Quite naturally, the householders who. while desirous of preventing the ne- Eroes from obtaining intoxicants. still wish to keep liquors. wine. etc. on hand for home use. antagonized an amendment which. in their belief. car ried prohibition too far. It appears to have been a case of overreaching on the part of the prohibitionists: they 1efeated their own purpose. There are phases of personal liberty with which it is inadvisable to meddle.

THE ULTIMATE NORTH,

In 1897 Fridtjof Nansen published =
book bearing the title "Farthest North"
In 1900 Captain Cagni, of the Abruzzi
expedition, invalidated the title; and
some six years later Commander Peary
gave to the words new significance.
They now have taken on their ultimate
and final meaning. Doctor Frederick
Albert Cook, American, has reached the
Pole.
The pulse of every true American
will beat quicker at the tidings that a
citizen of this republic has been first
to solve the mystery, hidden for ages
behind the eternal barriers of the
cold,' to look upon the face of the
spirit of the north and live. And in
view of the charge that the greatness
of this age is wholly mechanical he will
rejoice that the conquest of the Pole,
was made, not with airship, automobile
or power sledge; not by an expedition
lavjshly equipped, carrying into the
wilds of the Arctic the exotic comforts
OF Twentieth Century civilization, but
by the victory of physical endurance,
dauntless courage and trained intelli-
gence over the darkness, the icy sea,
the limitless desolation Of the north.
This man had not even Ship He
took with him on the final march no
companion OF bis own race. One white
man, with the smallest party of Eskimos
who ever went north from Cape Hub
bard, has achieved the prize. 1t is the
triumph OF man, not of gasoline or
aluminium or rubber tires.
Doctor Cook is a Now Yorker by
birth, of German descent (the name was
originally KOCH. He was educated in
the University of New York. He was
surgeon to the Peary expedition of
1892 and again to the Belgian
Antarctic expedition of 1S97-99. He is
A years old.
No review of the factors contributing
to Doctor Cooks success would be
complete which failed to take account
of the work of previous explorers in
"humanizing" the Eskimos of Cape
York and Smiths sound, without whose
cooperation this epochal achievement
would have been impossible. Successive
expeditions have cultivated their
friendship, stood between them and
threatened starvation and added to
their power to wage successfully the
battle of life. Perhaps the largest
share of credit for this belongs to Com
mander Peary. 1t is pleasant to think
OF this human element in the solution
OF almost the last great problem of
geography, of the warmth of real
human fellowship glowing through the
Arctic night in the igloo where the
American scientist stretched himself
in WEAKNESS beside the dark children
of an alien race.
Cook, American, the ultimate North.
