Yorktown, Va, October 10: On the
historic ground, where 12S years ago to-
day, Lord Cornwallis sealed the doom
of Britain's rule over what Is now part
of the United States, 5000 patriotic
Americans today were gathered to cele-
brate the anniversary Of that famous
surrender which put an end to the Rev
olutionary war. The exercises were
under the auspices of the Descendants
of the Signers Of the Declaration OF In
dependence, the Yorktown Historical
Society of the United States and the
citizens of York county. The inacces-
sibility Of the place, more than lack OF
interest In the event, made the attend
ance comparatively small. Situated on
the York river more than ten miles
from any railroad, Yorktown Is practi-
cally without direct connection with the
outside world save for an occasional
steamer from points down the river.
Today every automobile within a radius
Of thirty miles was pressed into SER
vice to bring the patriots to the cele-
bration and excursion steamers from
Norfolk, Newport News and Old Point
Comfort took care Of the overflow.
Many Of the schools in the vicinity gave
q holiday in order to allow the children
to do honor to the occasion. Four COM
panies Of coast artillery from Fortress
Monroe and detachment from the At
lantic torpedo fiotilla participated in
the celebration.
Washington, October 20: Develop
ments came thick and fast today in the
Peary- Cook controversy. Commander
Peary's proof-records and observa-
tions-that he reached the north pole
April 6, 1909, were submitted to the
National Geographic society today.
While the board Of managers was pom
dering over the matter, a cablegram
arrived from. the University Of Copen-
hagen declining to forego its privilege
to the first examination Of the north
pole records Of DR.. Cook. DR.. Cook
had promised first to submit his records
to the faculty of the university, but on
October Is the university was request
ed to waive its claim Of priority in IA
vor Of the National Geographic society,
which sought an early determination Of
the controversy which has arisen as the
result Of Commander Peary's charge
that Dr. Cook did not discover the north
pole. The board of managers decided
not to wait for the University Of Co
penhagen to examine DR.. Cooks rec
ords, and appointed a subcommittee to
examine and report on Commander
Peary's data alone. This committee Of
experts consist Of Henry Gannett chief
geographer Of the United States geo.
logical survey; Rear Admiral Colby M.
Chester, U. S. N, and o. H. Tittman,
superintendent Of the United States
coast and geodetic survey. The socie-
ty announced that the only question it
now had to decide was whether Com
mander Peary reached the pole on the
date claimed. The committee will hold
their first meeting within few days.
Washington, Octobr 10: Resolutions
fiercely denouncing the murder Of
Francisco Ferrer, the Spanish revolu-
ZIONIST who recently was condemned by
court martial, and shot in Barcelona,
were adopted at today's session Of the
executive council Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. I'VE, on our personal
behalf as we'll as in the name Of
ple," the resolution declares, express
our intense indignation, horror and our
strongest protest against the murder of
Francisco Ferrer by direction Of the
Spanish government" Taken in con-
nection with the action of the supreme
court Of the district Of Columbia in
sentencing President Gompers, Scene
tary Morrison and John Mitchell Of the
American Federation of Labor to serve
terms in Jail for contempt Of
court, the concluding paragraph Of
the resolution is looked upon here
as significant. The resolution de-
clares that I'VE take this occasion of
the military murder Of a man whose
real offending was speaking, writing
and teaching humanity to become more
wise, more free and more liberty low
ing, to remind the people Of our own
country that the liberty Of the citizen
is only secure when trial by jury and
in open court for any alleged offense
involving punishment is guaranteed"
