Peary's Claim That He Was First.

Peary's Claim That He Was First.
Most of the acrimony given the dis
cussion, particularly during the last
few days, was caused by the publica-
ton Of statement by Reuters News
agency, which said that Commander
Peary claimed that he was the first
man to reach the pole. This report
gave still another dramatic turn to the
situation, and the many supporters of
DR.. Cook expressed heated Indignation
at such action by Peary before he
had had a chance to look into detailed
account Of his rivals trip. Also as an
indication of the fairness of Dr. Cook
toward Peary the formers friends
point to the message sent from Copen-
hagen in which the doctor said: Il am
glad to hear Of Peary's success. If he
says he reached the pole know he got
there"
An unpleasant turn was given the
situation, again, by the dispatch sent
from Greenland stating that DR.. Cook
had taken for his own use dogs raised
especially for Peary and food held in
reserve for him. DR.. Cooks reply to
this charge is as follows:
II understand that rumor is cur
rent about my having taken some Of
Peary's food and dogs at Etah. This
is founded on Eskimo gossip and mis-
understanding. l desire no controyer-
sy. l simply say in reply to any such
assertion, NO. Commander Peary is
b friend of mine"
Navy's Support of Peary.
Commander Peary has more sup
porters in the United States as re-
CARDS his claims than has DR.. Cook.
His friends in the navy department
have stood by every word he has sent
thus far and are not endeavoring to
convince the public of the responsible

Mrs. Peary, who has all along insist
ed that her husband would reach the
pole. holds the record for the woman
who has lived farthest north. She
spent a year Oh the northern edge Of
Greenland with the commander when
be made the frst detailed explorations
there.
The long winter night and the hard
ships inevitable under the circum-
stances produced no unfavorable ef-
fects upon Mrs. Peary. who battled
through the dreary season of darkness
with all the energy shown by the men
Of the party. To her doubtless the
party owed much OF the comparative
comfort which relieved the monotony
OF the winter season. No white wo-
man had been so far north by several
hundreds of miles as Mrs. Peary at
that time QS92l. A Danish woman

This Is hundreds OF miles south Of
the place where Mrs. Peary spent a
year. The Eskimo women were par
ticularly interested in the white wo-
man who had come among them and
Mrs. Peary was of much service to her
husband in the pursuit of his ethno-
logical researches.

No attempt was made by the govern

B|JOU DEAL IS OFF
Joe Howard Backs Up on PROPOSE
ton To Purchase Wisconsin
St. Theatre at This Time
MAY co TO OTHER PARTIES

The deal for the sale of the Bijou
Theatre which it was thought had
been fully consumated so that Joseph
Howard, the proposed purchaser of
the playhouse would take control on
next Monday morning, is off. 1t sud-
denly fell through on Thursday even
ing when Arthur Frudenfeld of Wau-
kegan, the western manager for the
actor playwright, received telegram
from New York declaring the deal off.
Before that time everything had been
seemingly closed up and Howard had
accepted the theatre on the terms Of
fered by Frank J. O'Brien, the present
owner. Mr.. O'Brien had said farewell
to the patrons of the theatre and had
planned to leave on Monday for the
south for long rest In his telegram
Howard simply stated that other mat
ters which had come up had made it
impossible for him to take over the
Kenosha Theatre at this time.
Manager O'Brien was greatly sur
prised when he received a letter from
the Waukegan manager, enclosing the
telegram from Howard. Frudenfeld
asked that the deal be left open for
a few days longer as it seems that
he has some idea of taking over the
theatre himself or making some deal
with the present owners by which he
may manage it in connection with the
Barrison Theatre at Waukegan. On
account Of the action of Howard all
plans for the improvement Of the
theatre are being held up. It is stated
that several other companies have
been considering purchase Of the
Bijou and it is possible that the ne
gotiations with one of these companies
will be re-opened In any event it is
certain that the house will not be
closed, but will be continued as a high
class vaudeville theatre. Manager
|O'Brien went to Waukegan last night
to confer with the manager Of the
Howard Theatre there and before his
return he will have conference with
several Chicago people who have been
looking at the Bijou with an idea of
purchasing.

RUSSELL WE'LL LIKED

It seems to be the general feeling
Of patrons Of the ElginB elvidere
Electric Company, along the line, that
the right man is in the right place.
The most worthy praise for the new
superintendent comes from the Hunt
ley people, when Friday the waiting
station at that place, which has been
most filthy for the past year, was
given a thorough cleaning from cell
ing to the floor, windows washed, a
general bath and scrubbing and the
orders given out were to keep it So
It now gives an appearance of cleanli
ness and an inviting place to await
car. It has been long needed want
and that Mr. Russell can find time to
look after these matters when others
could not, the people are high in their
praise for the new man.-Belvidere
Republican.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1909-04-01

The primary election held in the city
on Tuesday has done nothing to
bring out any new beauties of the law
md all Of the old objections to it were
shown in even more glazing condition
than before. In every ward Of the
city it is shown that party lines were
disregarded in the making Of candi-
dates and not few Of the Democratic
candidates owe their place on the
ticket to the action of Republican vot-
ers while the same may be said Of sue
cessful Republican candidates. Even
the fact that there was a contest on
the Democratic ticket for both city
Offices did not prevent members of that
party going into the Republican pri-
maries and putting up candidates with
view of knocking them down when
the election comes a week from next
Tuesday. A comparison Of the vote
cast at the last national election with
that cast at the primary shows that
there has been a terrific slump in the
Republican party in the Democratic
wards and corresponding slump in
the Democratic party in the wards
classed as strongly Republican. The
law is shown unfair to the candidates
and to the parties which they repre-
sent. Of course there are few ardent
followers Of primary election and a
few high minded, conscientious people
who went in and voted their party
ticket, but the provisions Of the law
made it an easy matter for the poll
ticians to stack things just about the
way they wanted them. The old
caucus system did do one thing and
that was it provided for full ticket
in all the wards There are now va
cances on the tickets which can never
be filled for Democrats and Republi
cans were both so busy in making up
the rival tickets that they did not
even take the precaution to write 9
name on enough tickets to secure
nominations. The city and ward COM
mittees have no power to fill these va
cancies. When the primary can be
amended so that Democrats and Re
publicans can be successfully barred
from partaking in the making Of can
didates of their rivals the system of
direct nominations will be a lot more
popular with the general public.
