TAFT PLEDGES AID IN .
 CONSERVATION PLANS
He VIII Urge Congress to Pass
 Necessary Legislation.

Spokane, Wash, Sept 20. - In his speech here on the conservation of nat ural resources President Taft broadly took the stand that while the present administration is pledged to follow out the policies of MT. Roosevelt such pledge does not involve him in any obligation to carry out these policies without congressional authorization.
 President Taft created much enthu- siasm when he announced that he would urge on congress the necessity of authorizing the secretary of the in- terior to issue $10,000,000 bonds for the completion of irrigation projects, on which work is suspended because of lack of funds.
 President Taft gave credit both to Chief Forester Pinchot and to Secre- tary Ballinger. He referred to the wonderful work of Mir. Pinchot and said that while that work had brought denunciation at first it was now gen by MT. Pinchot were not only neces- sary, but should have been begun ten i years ago. Then he said:
 No one can visit this western coun- try without being overwhelmingly convinced of the urgent necessity for the proper treatment of arid and semi arid lands by the extension of sys- tems of irrigation. The results in the productivity of the soil when irrigated are marvellous. The mere fact that the reclamation service has gone ahead too fast ought not to prevent ! congress lending it's aid to overcome the difficulty.
 "NIeantime irrigation works under private auspices are being projected i in other directions. and the project of reclaiming millions of acres from the deserts is most encouraging. The ex- amples of government engineering and ingenuity in planning the structures i'll ! these various government projects for l irrigation are of immense utility as models for private enterprise"

SECRETARY DICKINSON
 GIVEN A GOLD MEDAL
Official Recognition of His Rescue of Drowning Man.

Washington, Sept %. An almost forgotten incident in which the present secretary of war, Jacob NJ Dickinson herOically rescued James F. Joy, a De troit lawyer, from the Detroit river fourteen years ago was recalled when a handsome solid gold medal. suspend ed from a ribbon held in the beak of an American eagle, was presented to Mr. Dickinson on behalf of the United States government
 The medal, approved by President Taft before his departure on his trip and commcmorating the courage of the war secretary in saving the life of a fellOwman. was presented by Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury Hilles.
 ''In testimony of heroic deeds in say ing lives" read the inscription on the medal, which also bore laurel wreath held aloft by a woman. Touched deep ly by the unexpected recognition of his act, the secretary of war, with characteristic modesty, merely said:
 q did not have much time to con- slider what was best to be done when Joy fell into the river, and if I had I might have done what Rip Van Wrinkle told his wife Gretchen he would do in case she fell into the water, 'go home and think it Over.'"
 He added that he did not know he had done anything remarkable.
 On Aug. %. 1895, the American Bar association. then in session at Detroit was entertained at St Clair flats. Judge Dickinson and others were on the steam yacht Truant when James r. Joy. the oldest member of the De troit bar, fell overheard. Judge Dick inson plunged into the water and res. cued Joy. There were jagged. broken piles at that point some hidden be heath the current. but both men fortu. nately reached the dock unharmed.

PALISADES PARK ON
 HUDSON DEDICATED,
Governor of Kew Jersey Makes
 Principal Address.

Fort Lee. N. J.. Sept. 29.-One of the most interesting events in the Hudson Fulton celebration was the dedication of Interstate Palisades park. extend ing for thirteen miles along the west ern shore of the river from Fort Lee to near Piedmont. N. Y.
 Governor Franklin J. Fort of New Jersey, who made the principal ad- dress. said:
 New Jerseys interest In the preserva- tion of the Palisades of the Hudson should be even greater than New York The longest stretch of them Is in our state. This celebration demonstrates that all disinterested effort for the public good Is not yet dead. For lack of such disin- terested interest these palisades, with all their natural beauty, would have been sane in very few years. The hand of the ruthless destroyer in the strife for gain, which so dominates the spirit of our age, would have caused their desuruc- ton.
 Historically these palisades are of the greatest interest. If tablets and monu- ments shall be erected throughout their length and immediately adjacent to them as they should be, to mark all the spots of concern in our advancing civilization and all the places of revolutionary re- nown the entire park will become one great oDJecI lesson m patFlOtlSn 10 our people.
 Through all this thirteen miles of beau ty and historic interest must run the pro- posed Hudson driveway. This the com mission should be authorized to build as they have planned, and let us hope the states will furnish the necessary funds. What an attractive. delightful driveway 1t will be! It will surpass in beauty that from Cave to Amalfi and transfer the most attractive drive of the world from the Mediterranean to the banks of the Hudson. in the state of New Jersey and New York. This is great interstate en- terprise and will compensate many fold for the expenditure.
 Governor Hughes in accepting the park for New York urged upon the people of the two states the conserva- tion of their rivers and forests.
 ''I hope that this Is only the begin ming" he said, "of efforts which may jointly be made by these two common wealths to safeguard the highlands and waters in which they are both deeply interested. The entire water shed of the Hudson should be con- served to become the peoples country side for common recreation"

LANGFORD BEATS DIXIE KID.
Fight Between CoIored Heavyweights
 Goes Only Five Rounds.

Bostcn, Sept. 29.-Sam Langford of Boston took five rounds to defeat the Dixie Kid of California, another col ored man, at the Armory Athletic as sOciation.
 The Californian was much lighter, but by clever ducking and blocking was able to avoid the majority of Langford's terrific swings and in the third round had the Bostonian wor- ried by a series of body punches and jabs in the face. which stopped Lang ford partially.
 h the fifth round Langford sent his man to the floor once and as the bell rang drove him in q heap into his cor her with heavy body blow. Before rLc bell rang for the sixth round the Kids seconds threw the sponge into the ring.

.PEARY'S REASONS FOR
 DISBELIEvING COOK
Naval Officer Makes Fourteen Points Against Brooklyn Man.

Bar Harbor, Me, Sept. 29.-After q long conference with General Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic club, Commander Robert E. Peary repeated his assertion that Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn did not reach the north pole, and he made public his reasons for so saying.
 There are fourteen points raised in Peary's charges, as follows:
 "First.-That Peary and Henson talked with every member of the Smith sound tribe of Eskimos and obtained testimony that corroborates the Eskimos who accompanied pr. Cook, that pr. Cook had not been out of sight of land.
 "Second.-That in violation of a GUS tom of arctic exploration Dr. Cook has not brought back records left in cairns at points he asserts he had reached, notably the one left at Cape Thomas Hubbard in 1906 by MT. Peary.
 "Third.-That pr. Cooks story that he travelled from Annootok to the pole and then back to Jones sound, a dis tance of more than twenty-one and one-half degrees, or about HOO miles, In one sledging season is impossible.
 "Fourth.-That his general equip ment was such that it would be phys ically impossible to- have accomplished the feat.
 "Fifth.-That Dr. Cook maintains he carried a glass mercurial horizon on his trip of 1,700 miles, whereas other explorers used a cast iron horizon, so that it would not only be saved from being broken, but could be heated when the mercury froze.
 sixth. That Professor Marvin brought back from S6 degrees 3S min utes duplicate records of MT. .Peary's march and of his own to prove abso- lutely that MT, Peary reached that lati- tude
 Seventh - That Captain Bartlett brought back from ST degrees 4S min utes duplicate records of MT. Peary's march.
 "Eighth.-That the sledge of pr. Cooks was of such type, not built ou the lines of any arctic explorers sledge. that 1t could not possibly have lasted for march of day with standard load of 800 or GOO pounds.
 "Ninth.-That Dr. Cooks snowshoes were of an impracticable type for use in the arctic.
 "Tenth.-That Dr. Cooks leaving of his records at Etah was a scheme on his part by which he could claim they were lost or destroyed and so could escape being forced to produce them to substantiate his claims.
 "Eleventh.-That no man who had carried the American flag to the pole would leave such a slight and easily transported article in the charge of a perfect stranger.
 "Twelfth.-That Dr. Cook had fresh dog teams from Etah and could have carried his burdens to Upernavik.
 Thirteenth. - That when Harry Whitney went on board the Jeanie he did not take time to go back to Etah and get the articles he must have known were valuable to pr. Cook.
 "Fourteenth-That if pr. Cook did leave such priceless articles at the Els kimo village MT. Whitney would have been anxious to rush them to the Unit ed States"

HUDSON AND FULTON
 1.-TWO of the features in land pageant ing inland waters, including ferry boats: the third consisted of steam yachts, the fourth of motorboats, the fifth of tugs and steam lighters, the sixth of sailing craft Then came the police and public safety, wrecking and fire boats, followed by the escort squadron, in the middle of which were the vessels of honor, the Half Moon and the Clermont. Revenue cutters and other national and state craft formed the ninth or patrol squadron, while the tenth or scout squadron con- sisted of fast steamers and motor boats, which acted as dispatch boats for the commanding officer. @ When the water parade was repeated at night the illuminations on the river made a gorgeous spectacle. The Amer ican and foreign battleships and cruis- CTS were made brilliant with myriads of electric lights from stem to stern, and great searchlights made the river a scene of dazzling brightness.
 Each float in the land pageant was drawn by four horses gayly decked from ears to hoofs in blankets of the official colors.
 Preceded by heralds came first the title car of the Empire State, typifying New York from the day of the bark canoe to the day of the Lusitania, from the day of the wigwam to the day of the skyscraper.
 Then followed the beginning of the first division, called the Indian period with title car and scenes of Indian life-the making of the first sachem of the Five Nations, the Indian war dance and so on.
 The seconG division was devoted tC the Dutch period, and floats showed the Half Moon, the fate of Henry Hud son, the building of the first ship con structed in New York, the purchase of Manhattan island for $24, old Peter Stuyvesant Bowling green and meI and happenings of that period. In this as in other divisions, banners pro claimed the incident each float was meant to represent.
 The next division was devoted to tht colonial period. There were twenty floats in this division, and such scenes as the destruction of the statue o1 George III. were reproduced on nov ing stages by living actors. The cap ture of Andre, Washington taking tho oath of office, the legend of Rip Var Wrinkle and many more such thing: were illustrated.
 The modern period division wa: headed by a float showing Fulton! Clermont, followed by a reproduction in miniature of his ferry. The recep tion of Lafayette was reproduced, re calling his return to this country il 1924. A fire engine of that time anC an Erie canal boat were shown a though in motion.
 Besides the illumination of the war ships and river craft every night countless myriad of electric lights Ol water front buildings, bridges and ol many of the office structures make the city one blaze of light. In tn daytime fattering flags and bunting gre to be seen in every direction. tn decoratio exceeding any ever befar scuI liere.
