REDDING, Sept. 1s.-Mrs. Sarah
Harding. a nurse aged 49 years. per-
ished early this morning in the fire
that destroyed the st. Caroline hospital
in this city. Several hundred persons
were present, but powerIess to aid. The
coroner's jury found that the death of
Mrs. Harding was accidental and the
management of the hospital blameless.
The flames were discovered shortly
after o'clock, although at midnight
the nurse on night watch detected the
odor of what she thought was burning
rubber. She informed the matron,
Miss Constance Rainsberry. Together
the nurses inspected the building from
attic to cellar, but were unable to dis
cover the source of the odor. Mrs.
Harding quieted their fears that the
hospital was on fire by saying that the
smell was that Of the. smelter smoke,
and advised the younger women to re-
tire
Three hours later the hospital was a
mass of flames. The matron and her

Harding was aroused and the nurses

Bertha Lumpkin. put aside all thought

the aid of a Catholic priest, Father

Due Off Hook Today

According to the captains observa-
tions at midday the Oscar II will ar
rive off Sandy Hook about noon to-
morrow, unless something unforeseen
arises. The vessel will not dock. how
ever, until Tuesday. Doctor Cook ap-
pears to exercise great self-restraint
but can hardly repress a natural an
fly without proofs. He requested the
Associated Press to make public the
following:
Commander Peary has as yet given
to the world no proofs of his own case.
My claim has been fully recognized by
Denmark and by the king of Sweden;
the president of the United States has
wired me his confidence; my claim has
been accepted by the International
bureau for polar research at Brussels.
most of the geographical societies of
Europe have sent me congratulations
which mean faith and acceptance for
the present and almost every explorer
of note has come forward with warm
and friendly approval.
"A specific record of my journey is
accessible to all, and every one who
reads can decide for himself When
our cases are parallel. Why should
Peary be allowed to make himself a
self-appointed dictator of my affairs?
In justice to himself, in justice to the
n rd he af
tional prestige he should be compelled
to prove his own case; he should pub
lish at once a preliminary narrative
to be compared with mine and let fair
minded people ponder over the matter
while the final records by which my
being prepared.
Gives Part Credit
Il know Peary the explorer. AS
such he is a hero in arctic annals and
deserves the credit of a long and
hard record. To Peary the explorer
l am still willing to tip my hat, but
Pearys unfounded accusations have
disclosed another side to his character
which never will be forgotten.
When Peary wired that he had
nailed the stars and stripes to the
pole I Immediately sent congratula-
tions. / then believed as I do now,
that his. work over a new route far
east of my line of travel was a new
conquest of great Importance, and of
course that his observations at the pole
would supplement my work with val
liable detail. There is room enough
and honor enough for two American
flags at the pole
The Oscar II will not arrive at
New York until Tuesday morning
This is at the urgent request of the
reception committee which is to meet
Doctor Cook. The steamer could have
reached Sandy Hook Monday after
noon, but a message from the recep-
ton committee asking that the ar
rival be delayed owing to the fact
that 1t was impossible to change the
committee arrangements, was re-
ceived this evening by wireless, and
the captain consented to comply with
the request. The Oscar II is there
fore under decreased speed.
