AUTOPSY SHOWS NO
 BONES WERE BROKEN
Lieutenant Sutton's Body Exhumed and Bullet Wound Found Over
 His Ear.

Washington. Sept 13.-After the body of Lieut.. James N. Sutton, the marine officer who met his death about two years ago at Annapolis, was exhumed at Arlington cemetery. today an autopsy disclosed the fact that no bones were broken, although con- fusion was found over the right eye. Mrs. Sutton has contended that her sons arm had been broken in the fight which preceded his death, and that. this being the case, the shot which ended his life could not have been self inflicted. Dr. George Fully Vaughan of this city, who represented Mrs. Sutton at the autopsy, said tonight that the bullet wound which caused his death was three inches above the right ear and was clean cut. There was no indication that the hair and scalp had been burned with powder.
 Mrs. Sutton and her attorneys indi- cated tonight that the autopsy will not close the case. Mrs. Sutton is credited with saving: We will give them the fight of their lives" Mrs. Sutton is said to be anxious to have the case presented to a Maryland grand jury. She feels justified, it is said, in having had the autopsy performed, as she be- lieves evidence was obtained which will prove useful in whatever other proceedings are undertaken.

eRYAN's LITTLE JOKE

Dallas. Tex. Sept. 13.-William J Bryan, who arrived today to deliver an address here. said regarding the dis cosery of the pole: This discussion about who discovered the north pole has interested me. I do not know why politics should enter the thing. but somehow I've wondered what political belief these two men they are talking about have. I believe it Is safe to say they are democrats. Why? Well. just because democrats have got so used to being out in the cold they can do their best work there. North pole con- ditions are ideal for them"

Explanatory of the above special telegram to The Republican, it is learned that the Arizona railway commission met last night with the sider the advisability of accepting the proposition for the reduction of rates. offered by the Gila Valley rail- way as a compromise of the request made by the > commission, or, as an alternative, carrying the matter to the interstate commerce commission.
 The request or petition for a re duction of rates was filed with the railway company some time ago and since then there has been consider able correspondence between the company and the commission, result in the offer of the company to make certain quite notable concessions, though it would not go so far as compliance in full with the request. Since then, or about three weeks ago, a decision was handed down in the United States circuit court at Chicago, which, if sustained by the

MARKET RESUMES \
 NORMAL CONDITION
Reeovers From the Recent Startling
 Rise in Prices.a..

New York, Sept. 13.-The dull trad ing and the narrow price fluctuations in today's stock dealing marked the normal subsistence of the violent con- tcrtions caused by Harriman's death. No one supposed the death of a capi- talist of Harriman's power and grasp contained any positive force for the betterment of values, therefore the early termination of headlong ad- vance of Friday. was expected. The remaining traces of feverishness in the movement of Union Pacific were accounted for by the steps taken toward securing a continuity of its administration, and the rumors bear ing on the future policy of the vast interests involved. The prompt cleo tion of new members of the board of directors and the executive committee was regarded as intended to stop some rumors of contemplated changes. London took an unfavorable view of our monetary outlook and was dis quieted as well by the American cop per statistics showing the rate of production still heavily in excess of consumption. The fall in Union Pa cific. allowing for the dividend of today, carried it off z 3-S from the high point of the rally touched on Saturday. Bonds were weak. Total sales were s3.556,0 10000. United States bonds unchanged.

ANOTHER WITNESS.

St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 13.-Allen Whitten, who was boatswain of the Peary auxiliary steamer Erik in 1905. and again in 1908, added his quota to the polar controversy today.
 On the expeditions he naturally saw much of Peary and knew of his plans. He was also on the Erik in the summer of 1907 when she lay at Sydney alongside the schooner John R. Bradley, in which Cook was start ing for the pole. Whitten says the Bradley was abundantly equipped for Cooks expedition. having supplies for at least three years. He confirms the charge made by Cook at Copenhagen that Peary took Cooks provisions. adding that not only did the crew take Cooks stores that were at Etah, but that the boats were sent to Anna took. thirty miles distanct, to remove Cooks provisions, which were stored there. The boatswain declares that both Cooks and Franck's collections of ivory and skins, some of them quite valuable. likewise were taken. He says the trouble with Peary's previous expeditions had been the lack of supplies. Instead of remain ing away for three years, Peary was compelled to return after about fif- teen months, the real reason, Whitten declares, being that he did not have enough supplies to remain longer.

AN OPINION BY TEMPS.

Paris. Sept. 1S.-The Temps today,
 discussing the sovereignty of the north pole, expresses the opinion that the relative permanence of the ice there properly might raise the ques-
 tion of whether this territory comes under the ordinary rules applying to land and the high seas. The paper insists, however. that exploring expe- ditions such as Cooks and Peary's s can not give title and. to this end, it quotes Calvo to the effect that the acquisition of sovereignty is involved with effective occupation, namely. ac- companied or followed by the com
 mencement of administrative organ iZation or commercial and industrial exploitation A majority of the au- thorities agree, the paper says. that the simple planting of the flag is not sufficient. The Temps severely criti- cises Peary's broadcast accusations against Cook as well as his general grandiloquent attitude" saying in the connections: "Peary's patriotic dec Iaration about taking possession of the pole in the name of the president of the United States is in strong con trast with the commercial spirit he displayed in copyrighting the story

 FIELD WORK BEGINS
The Probable Funds That Will Be Available for Bridging e'
 the Rivers.v

Territorial Engineer J. B. Girand ex- poets to start next week with field
 party for an inspection of possible and desirable routes for the territorial highway north and south and east and
 west. proposed to be constructed in accordance with a law passed by the
 last legislature making provision for
 the using of funds for that purpose.
 The result of the engineers investi-
 gations will be laid before the board of control. The keystone of any such
 project is naturally the bridging of
 the two great rivers crossing the ter
 ritory from east to vest the Gila and the Salt The natural conditions, to-
 pography of the country, relative To- cation of the most thickly settled por- tions, etc, suggests almost beyond ar gument that these rivers should be bridged at or near Tempe and Flor ence respectively. The questions to settle chiefly are where the roads shall run from these pivotal points, and though much has been printed con- corning the matter, with some diver sity of opinion, there will be little to discuss until more accurate data is at hand.
 The only condition of a definite na- ture now appearing is the building of the bridges, and though even this has not been considered by the board of control, the inevitability of such ac- ton suggests it will be a necessary policy. In connection with the road enterprise. and especially the bridge bridge projects, which will be no doubt the two most expensive features, it Is timely to note the possible resources resources that will be available In the first place the statute provides for a flat tax of five cents in each county. and this fund it is expected will az gregate approximately S166, 6,000.- in addition such county .s permitted to levy an additional tax under the di- rection of the board of control, espe- cially for a territorial road fund, said tax not to exceed twenty-five cents. Maricopa county, as we'll as some other counties. has exercised its full privilege of the twenty-five cent levy, which it is estimated will amount to s35,000. As this is per mitted for two years under the stat ute a similar levy will probably be made next year. making a total of at least s70.000 obe raised on the coun- ty levy. not counting the possible in creased valuation of next year. With the total of s70,00O in this county and the territorial levy in reserve. there should be no lingering doubt of the ability to pay for the bridge at Tempe when the time comes to build it. Con- struction. of course. could not begin until some time next year, for the tax will not be available until or later

HARR|MAN'S SUCCESSOR LoVet Heads The UP.
 Executive Committee SCH|FF ANO- ROCKEFELLER
They Are Named as Mem bers to Succeed Magnate and Late H. H. Rogers. l.. F. Loree Will Prob ably Be Made President

New York, Sept. 13.-The continu- ance of Hartman policies in the main tainence of the Union and Southern Pacific and the chain of allied rail roads was made certain today. tempOr- arily at least. when Robert $. Lovett. Harriman's personal counsel and close friend. was selected to succeed Harri- man at the head of the Union Pacific executive committee. To strengthen the dominance of Hartman ideas,'' Jacob Schiff and William Rockefeller were elected directors in place of Har- riman and the late H. H. Rogers, and were chosen to places on the executive committee Union Pacific remains without a president. as Hartman oc- cupied this position also. It is under stood. however. that an operating man probably L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson-will be elected by the stockholders October 12.
 Judge Lovett's office is the most prominent in the management and financial supervision of the Union Pa cific. His close association with liar riman makes him, in the opinion of Hartman neutenants, peculiarly fitted to assume the responsibilities of the position. He and Mir. Loree are closely familiar with Harriman's plans and dreams for the undeveloped territory over which he hoped to push the as- cendancy of his railroad systems The Southern Pacific directors will meet tomorrow. It is taken for granted their action is fully forecasted by today's meeting, that Judge LOvett will be seated as chairman of the exc cutive committee, also in Harriman's place. with Schiff or some other part ner in the firm of Kuhn, Loeb IS Co. at his right hand as director and mem- Der of the executive committee
 The failure of Morgan interests to gain place on the reconstruction board was a surprise to Wall street, where last weeks rumors had been given general credence. It was pointed out tonight, however, that possibly the Morgan interests, fearing disas- trous results from any radical changes at this time, may have purposedly postponed the selection of a represen- tative until the regular annual meet ing in october.

BANKERS CONVENE.
The Bill of Ladins as a Basis of Cred it Will Come Up For Con-
 sideration.

Chicago. Sept. 13.-The preliminary conference of the thirty-fifth annual convention of the American Bankers aeociation. which was held today, shows that the bill of lading problem will be one subject of the first im- portance before the delegates The bankers have asked for bill of lad ing which would make the carriers issuing 1t responsible so that it would be safe negotiable instrument. The shippers represented were equally anxious for a solid foundation and the importance of the question was emphasized by Henry Dunkak. presi- dent of the New York Mercantile Ex- change. who declared that if the bill of lading were not used as a basis of credit. the business of the country would come to a standstill or else be- come concentrated in the hands of a few. The railroad representatives did not oppose the resolution.

ter from the admiral tonight with a discussion on "who discovered the north pole?"
 'Dr. Frederick A. Cook" he said, was for two years my wife's physi- clan. I saw him two or three times a week and we chatted many hours. If l have ever known a man of in- tegrity, probity, sincerity and modesty it is Dr. Cook. have known also the other fellow-know him to depart from the truth by a large margin.
 ''Dr. Cooks attitude in withholding the details of his discovery was att tributed to his desire not to anticipate the publication of his: book. But as soon as the other claimant got within reach of the wireless," said the cap tain, 'he sent dispatches to everybody he could think of. but delayed in forming the mother of the unfortunate Marvin, who perished during the ex- pedition.''
 After a meeting of the executive committee of the Arctic club of Amer ica tonight R. O. Stebbins, chairman. gave the clubs attitude on the affair.
 ''The Arctic Club of America" he said. has nothing to do with the controversy. All. that the Arctic club recognizes is that pr. Cook is the discoverer of the pole and that Peary reached there. Our only desire is to honor the discoverer. Neither side has proven his case to Omerica, but since the Danish government has rec ognized Dr. Cook we feel the burden of proof now falls on his opponent. The Arctic. club will present Cook with a gold medal two and a half inches in diameter. showing in bas relief Dr. Cook standing on top of the globe waving the stars and stripes
 Preparations to honor Cook are more advanced than those for Peary, because the latter's arrival is more distant and his plans as yet more nebulous.

scHLEY EAvoRs COOK.

New York. Sept. 13.-With Cook homeward bound and Peary now in touch with correspondents, two swell ing streams of conflicting affirmation are now centered on a city already boiling over. Comment and criticism lack nothing of their previous acid ity.
 The previous assumption that Peary would have the United States navy solidly behind him was not borne out in a letter from Rear Admiral Schley, made public by Captain B. S. Os- borne, secretary of the Arctic club. of which Cook is a member. The letter. under date of September II, from Pocono Manor. Pa, says:
 "I like Cooks attitude immensely Tn this unfortunate, unnecessary and un- wise controversy. He certainly has been dignified and manly in the stand he has taken.
