HE DOESN'T BELIEVE
PEARY'S STATEMENT

DRESDEN, Sept. 17.-Raoul Oliver, a
member of the executive committee OF the
Belgian Antarctic expedition of 1887. who
is now in Dresden, today expressed the
opinion that Belgian scientists generally
had full confidence in DR.. Frederick A.
Cook, who. Mr.. Olivier says. has won the
esteem and admiration OF the Belgian
committee and the Belgian Antarctic ex-,
peditiop, of which he was a meraber, by
his quiet and unassuming demeanor, his
integrity and his determination II OBJ
liged to Judge between the narratives OF
DR.. Cook and Commander Peary, NJ. DIV
Ter said he would place greater reliance
on the former.
Continuing, Mr.. Olivier said he was as
tonished at the similarity between the two
stories. DIR. Cooks statement regarding
the temperature at the pole was confirm
ed by previous observation; Peary's esti-
mate was too low. NJ. Olivier said frankly
that he disbelieved Peary's statement
that he had travelled Is miles day. and
he thinks the confession OF the command
er that he took only one man to the pole
with him because he wanted to have the
honor of discovering the pole all to him
SSlf supplies clue for his attacks on DR..
Cook. The "a hours Peary spent at the
pole were insufficient to take copious OBJ
servations.
NJ. Olivier, who was plainly much IN
censed at Commander Peary, said II
would require more than buzz OF DR..
Cook to win credit for Peary's story in
Europe. Continuing. he declared that
Professor oberhummer. with wnom he
had talked, did not reject DR.. Cooks re-
cital, but was merely awaiting his evil
dence The professor had read part Of
Peary's narrative and found it even less
convincing that DR.. Cooks.

were issued for offenses so serious.
The first pardon issued by Gov. Hoke
Smith was on July u, 1907. From that
day to September u 0he day after the
last batch of pardons issued by Governor
Brown he pardoned, committed or re-
moved the civil disabilities of IL prisoners.
The first pardon issued by Governor
Brown was on July Z. Since that day he
has pardoned, committed or paroled 80
prisoners.
In other words, for a period of the same
time Governor Brown has pardoned more
than twice as many prisoners as did Gov
ernor Smith.
Not only this; the offenses for which
Governor Brown has issued pardons were
of a far more serious nature than those
which prompted executive clemency on
the part of Governor Smith.
WHAT GOVERNOR SMITH PARDON
ED.
Here are the offenses for which pris-
oners were pardoned or paroled by Gov
ernor Smith: Simple larceny, 2; larceny.
8; gaming, 2; burglary. 2; vagrancy, 2;
assault to murder, 2; robbery 1; assault
and battery, /; violating liquor laws, /,
and misdemeanor, /. Total. II.
WHAT GOVERNOR BROWN PAR
DONED.
And here are the crimes for which
Governor Brown has issued pardons or
paroles: Murder, s.; manslaughter, 2:
voluntary manslaughter, 2; rape, 2; asa
sault with attempt to murder, i; infanti-
eide, /; larceny, 8; larceny after trust.
q: burglary, 8; gaming, 4; blind tiger, 1;
bigamy, 1; stealing ride on train, l. and
misdemeanor, l. Total, -.
BRIEF COMPARISON.
A glance at the foregoing will be inter
esting. 1t gives little indication of a new
era" of the kind Governor Browns
friends are talking about.
During the first two and a half months
Of his administration Governor Smith did
not pardon, a single murderer, rapist or
person convicted of infanticide. For the
same period Governor Brown pardoned
murderers, rapists, 1 person convicted
Of infanticide, 1 case OF bigamy. besides
2 cases of voluntary granddaughter, two
of manslaughter. assault to murder and
persons convicted OF violating the liquor
laws.

FEW COTTON GOODS
IMPORTED TO SIAM

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE United
States stands lowest in the list of those
bidding for the importation OF cotton
goods into Siam, having imported goods
to the value of only $S0S for the year, ac-
cordiffg to Vice Consul General Carl @.
Hansen, writing from BANGKOK.
Special articles of cloth peculiar to the
country are required by Siam. While
home industries formerly supplied these,
they are now almost wholly supplied by
foreign countries and form a special i'm
port of Slams cotton trade.
Great Britain and her dependencies
have been favored with the majority of
trade having been the pioneers in adapt
ing their goods for this special market,
but Germany, Holland and Austria are
coming in for a good share OF 1t.
