After being Informed Of the boys
narrative thus far. Commander Peary
suggested series Of questions to be
put to the boys In regard to this trip
from the land out and back to It.
Did they cross many open leads or
much open water during this time
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out on
the ice? Ans. No.
With how many sledqes did they
start7 Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have7 Ans.
Did not remember exactly, but some
thing over twenty.
How many sledges did they nave
when they got back to Iand7 Ans.
Two.
Did they have any provisions left on
their sIedges when they came back to
Iand7 Ans. Yes; the siedses still had
about all they could carry, 50 they
were able to take but a few things
from the cache.
From here they went southwest
along the northwest coast Of Heiberq
Land to point indicated on the map
(sverdrup's Cape Northwest).
From here they went west across
the Ice, which was level and covered
with snow, offering good going, to q
low island which they had seen from
the shore Of Heiberg Land at Cape
Northwest. On this island they
camped for one sleep.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (sverdrup's EiIef Ring
mes and Amund Ringnes Lands). From
the island they journeyed toward the
Ieft-hand one Of these two lands
(Amund Hinges Land), passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore Of Amund
Rhymes Land, the Esklmos killed .
deer 40 indicated on the chart.
The above portion Of the state
ment Of the Eskimo boys covers
the period Of time In which Or. Cook
claims to have gone to the pole and
back, and the entire time during
which he could possibly have made
any attempts to 90 to II.
n II is suggested that perhaps Dr..
Cook got mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did, between
the time OF leaving the northwest
coast Of Heiberg Land at Cape North
west, and his arrival at Rinones Land,
where they killed the deer, we must
then add to tho date Of Dr.. Cooks let

Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four
or five sleeps at that point, and the
number of days required to march
from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape
Northwest Ia distance Of some sixty
nautical miies), which would advance
his date Of departure from the land
to at least the 25th Of March, and be
prepared to accept the claim that Or.
Cook went from Cape Northwest

DRY OR WET WILL BE ISSUE
 N JANUARY
tExcluusive Dispatch,)

TOMBSTONE. Nov. 2.A-A local op- tion. election will be held in Cochise county January 26. 1910. This was the deeis on arrived ct by the. Board of Supervisors al their meeting today after long discussion as the result of g petition signed by 4TG anti-saloon- ists presented by their attorney, O. Gibson.
 Although the petition was present. ed early in the day no action was ta- ken upon 1t until the night session, when the supe. visors agreed unani- mously that an election would be he.d and set to work settling the details.
 It was decided that between the present time and the time O; election the county shall be redistrictsd and new registration list be prepared. The segregation act will be called inJo full play Incorporated cities voting separately from the county, although upon the sane day. In case Of Q sep arate distyict lying within the linn its of an Incorporated city, as in case ! of Bisbee and Lowell, a separate cleo. 1 ton will be held in each, to decide whether or not they shall be dry and the result in one shall have no ef feet upon that in the other If Bis bee goes dry and Lowell should de eide to stay wet the verdict would have to be accepted.
 It had been expected that the mem bers of the Royal Arch would present a counter petition asking that an el ection should not be held, but nothing was done by this organization.
 Another important move made bs : the Board of Supervisors was 10 an null the contract given N. P. Oleson and company, of Bisbee, for construct ing the county hospital at Douglas District Attorney John s. Williams rendered a lengthy opinion in whicf he declared that the contract was moi legally drawn and advised its Tevoca ton. George Neale, attorney for the contractors, stated that they had SC, 900 worth of material upon the ground and on the way to Douglas, and would file damage suit immediately.
 It is understood, however, that they will be rewarded the contract | when the law has been complied vita The motion to revoke the contract was made by McCabe, Shearer second ing, and Bowen voting mo" emphati call:.

GOOD CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATS
 IN YEAR I9I2

PLAINFIELD, N. J., Nov. 2.--Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of Prince. ton university, addressed the Plain field democratic club tonight on "the democratic opportunity" He found his inspiration in the situation pre- sented by the passage of the Payne Aldrich tariff bill in the face of strong republican opposition.
 "The democratic party" said he, ''is now facing an unusual opportuni. ty and great duty. It Is free from entanglement and is at liberty to choose policies suited to national con ditions as a whole. 1t is free to make program for the general good if 1t will with perfect candor and sim plicity. But it should do this without allowing itsele to be embarrassed by old formulas.
 "The debates of our coming cam raigns must center upon the means we are to Ise in accomplishing ends which the whole country sees 1t is necessary 70 accomplish. The dcrno cratic principle is that government should study rot only regulation but individual liberty and individual re sponsibility, sId that no regulation unless consistent with the freedom and development of the individual is tolerable
 "The principle upon which the Aid rich tariff bill is based is a radica ly different onc-not the benefit oi those engaged in the industries, She , incompetent along with the compe tent.
 "The demoralization of the whclC thing. its co.rupting effect dpoa oIl politics. its 'nfeebling effect upon oul industries, its sinister effect upon ou political principles, is now evident tC i think without self interest.
 Apply our principle to the trus question and it will yield"

FIND INDICTMENTS
 FOR TUCSON BROKER
PIMA GRAND JURY FINDS TRUE BILLS FOR ALLEGED EN-
 BEZZLEMENT.

TUCSON, Nov, 2.-On two counts, each for embedding money entrusted to him while he maintained broker. age offices in Phoenix, Tucson and Nogales, Frank J. O'Brien was indict. ed in Tucson by the Pima grand jury. O,Brien is charged in one indict. ment with having embedded. $500 from Chris Christenden. Christenden claims that he gave the money to OfBrien shortly before his failure, and that instead of investing the sum, used it for other purposes.
 The second indictment is based on allegations made by W. V. Elliott, Tucson mining man, who claims that he gave O'Brien $2000 to invest in mining stocks, and that O'Brien used the money for some other purpose.
 Local interest in o'Brien's indict. ment centers around his arrest on charges made by r. W. G. Lentz that he gave O'Brien S250 to buy stocks and that he has never since seen either the money or the stocks.
 O'Brien was bound over to the grand jury in Phoenix on the Lentz charges and liberated on bail, after ward being rearres!ed on the Elliott charge in TncSon. It is understood +1 -;.s-s =s no action will be taken against OBrien here until the outcome of the Tucson cases is learned
 Efforts are being made in Tucson by o'Briens friends to get him out of jail on bail pending his trial

GOV. CRfEL SAYS MEETING
 AHAPPY EVENT

CHIHUAHUA, Nov. 2.-tIt was most happy event" said Gov. Enrique c. Greet at his officer in the state pal ace last Thursday when asked for his opinion of the Taft-Diaz meeting in Fl Paso, Tex, and Juarez, Chih., on the 16th inst.
 As is well known, Gov. Creel was the only witness to the private inter- view of the two presidents and as he had been Mexico's Ambassador to the United States and knows both presi- dents thoroughly, be, above all others, perhaps, is best able to judge of the far-reaching importance of the meet ing and esnecially so now as the ex- citernent of the occasion is over. . Gov. Cresl grew enthusiastic as he continued substantially as follows: ''Yes, consider the meeting of the two presidents a most happy event and epoch-marking in its importance to both countries and their respective peoples. Not only do1 the two presi- dents know and understand each oth- CT, which strengthens the already most friendly relations between the two countries, but it will increase the confidence and good will of the people of each toward the other. h also assures the people of both coun- tries that all differences which may come up between the two countries
 can be amicably settled I think, too, that the meeting will have a far reaching effect in improving business relations and the investment of Amer. ican capital in Mexico"

From the number of vag- rancy cases that appear in the courts these autumn days it is evident that the cold weather has set in at the north and the migratory ones. like the birds, are seeking warmer climes te the south.
 There were four vagrancy cases this morning and but one had good excuse This man had walked all the way from Bisbee Saturday night and stopped to sleep in a vacant house on his way to seek work at the smelter immediately after his arrival.
