POLAR WAR ST|RS
Up NEW YORK
ARCTIC CLUB WILL GIVE COOK
MEDAL AS DISCOVERER.
SCHLEY DEFENDS COOK
Indicating Navy Not Solid for Peary.
Osbon Swears by Cooks
Veracity.

New York, Sept. 14.-With DR..
COOK homeward bound and Com
mander Peary in touch with the cor
respondents, two swelling streams of
conflicting affirmation are centered
on city already boiling over. Com
ment and criticism lack nothing of
their previous acidity. Previous
assumption that Commander Peary
would have the United States Navy
solidly behind him was not borne
out in letter from Rear-Admiral
Schley, made public by Captain B.
S. Osbon, secretary of the Arctic
Club of America, of which DR.. Cook
is member. The letter, under date
of September IL, from Pocono, Ma
nor, Pa, says:
Il like Cooks attitude immensely
in this unfortunate, unnecessary and
unwise controversy. He certainly
has been dignified and manly in the
stand he has taken"
Captain Osbon, in discussion on
Who Discovered the North Pole,
says:
DR.. Frederick A. Cook was for
Two years my wife's physician.
saw him two or three times week
and we chatted many hours. If l
have ever known man of integrity,
probity, sincerity and modesty, it is
DR.. Cook.
Peary Departs From Truth.
Il have known also the other fell
low-known him to depart from
truth by large margins -
''Dr. Cooks attitude in withhold
ing details of his discovery was at
tributed to his desire not to antici-
pate the publication of his book. But
as soon as the other claimant got
within reach of the wireless, he sent
dispatches to everybody he could
think of, but delayed informing the
mother of the unfortunate Marvin,
who perished during the expedition"
After meeting of the executive
committee of the Arctic Club of Am
erica, X. o. Stebben. its 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 club rec
ognzes is that DR.. Cook is the dis
coverer of the Pole and that Peary
reached there. Our only desire is
to honor the discoverer. Neither
side has proved its case to America,
but since the Danish government has
recognized DR.. Cook we feel that the
burden of proof now falls on his op-
ponent.
THE Arctic Club will present to
DR.. Cook 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"

Card of Thanks.

The teachers of Worcester County
wish to express our appreciation and
thanks for the very generous response
to our petition asking the County Com
missioners to meet the requirements Of
law in the matter of salaries to the
teachers. We wish also to thank the
County School Board for their active
interest in the matter, and the county
newspapers for their kindness in publish
ing various notices. Although the work
of circulating the petition came just at
the closing of the school year, in fact
after several schools had closed. many of
the teachers presented the petition to
all or nearly all their school patrons.
Ninety per cent. of all to whom the
petition was presented signed it willing
~. Some of the teachers, feeling it
unnecessary to ask for what the law
already provides. did not circulate the
petition at all. Now that the taxpayers
have so positively expressed themselves,
the petition has been presented to their
representatives. the Board of County
Commissioners, and the matter is in
their hands.
By THE COMMITTEES.

HIRAM TRUITT
CUT To DEATH
His Abdomen SIashed Open in
PoWeIIviIIe Barber Shop
Kelly in Jail.

Hiram Truitt, % old years son of James
Truitt. highly respected resident of
the eastern section of Wicomico County,
died at Powellville Friday asaresult of
injuries received in fight Saturday
night, May 22d. The affair had been
kept very quiet by the principals and
their friends, but on young Truitt be-
coming very iii the news OF the trouble
spread rapidly.
Truitt, Joseph Bodily and Edward
Dennis had dispute Saturday night
which ended in fight. After the fight
the three went to the barber shop of
James Donnoway and again became in
volved in an argument. Benton Kelly,
who was seated in barber chair, be-
came mixed up in the trouble and jok-
ingly made a statement to Truitt and
Edward Dennis, who resented it and
another fight occurred, in which Truitt,
Bodily, Dennis. Kelly and Barber Donna
way were involed. Chairs, razors and
other weapons were used, and all who

physician in charge. he accused Benton
Kelly of injecting with a razor the
wound which caused his death.
A coroner's jury gave verdict on
Monday of this week that Truths death
was caused by the wound inflicted by
Kelly. The accused is in Salisbury Jail.

a CONTRACTS
LET FOR ROADS
Commission Awards -Four And
Rejects Bids For Nine. WOr-
Cester Too High.

The first contracts for building roads
under the $4,000, 900 loan have been
awarded by the State Roads Commits
sion. Four contracts were let. Be-
cause members of the commission be-
lieve the bids for six roads were too
high, they were rejected and the speci-
fcations ordered readvertised.
While at first it was thought all the
bids were too high. further investiga-
ton showed that the lowest bids re-
ceived for seven Of the roads were
within the estimates of Roads Engineer
Crosby. Believing that even better
prices can be obtained on some of the
roads which were within the estimate,
the commission rejected three of them.
The four contracts let were far within
the estimate.
To ascertain the cost of road construc-
ton in the State the commission decided
to build one mile of road under its own
supervision in Cecil County.
The high bids in some counties on the
Eastern Shore and in st. Mary's County
were due to freight rates for hauling
the materials. Freight rates were dis
cussed and efforts will be made by the
Governor to get the railroad companies
to give cheaper rates to the contractors.
1t is said United States Senator John
Walter Smith will assist the Governor
in the effort to get cheaper rates.
The contracts let are as follows
Caroline County-From fredericksburg
to Dorchester County line. LILO miles;
X. w. Messenger, $l3, 126.4s.
Dorchester County-From Caroline
County line to Hurlock, 4-l0 miles /;
C. N. Phillips. S45, 747.77.
Wicomico County From Salisbury
toward Mardella Springs, 81 miles
County Commissioners of Wicomico.
s57, 977.9O.
Kent County-From Centrevile to
Kennedyville, 3 lilo miles; Juniata Paw
ing Company, $50, 535. 60.
The contract let to the Wicomico
County Commissioners was in accord
ance with the opinion of Mr.. Carville
d. Benson. counsel to the commission,
that the counties may bid on roads
within their own boundaries.
The bids for st. Mary's, Somerset
and Worcester Counties were rejected,
as they exceeded the engineers esti-
mate. Those of Talbot, Cecil and
Queen Anne's Counties were within the
estimate, but were believed to be too
high. Before the contracts were award
ed Governor Crothers pointed out that
the estimates were made on approxi-
mate quantities Of work to be done.
The quantities, he believes, can be
lessened so as 10 lower the prices Of the
roads.
Turning to Mr.. Crosby the Governor
said
should keep a close eye on the work
and save wherever it can be done. If
it is closely watched | believe changes
can be made which will result in big
saving without impairing the efficiency
of the roads.
The Governor also pointed out that
all the bids called for roads leading
from the county townships, and because
of the heavy traffic on these roads it is
proposed to build them stronger than
others, thus increasing the estimated
cost.

PETERS-ROBINS
LAND CASE
Ruling Of Lower Court Reversed
by Court Of Appeals. And
Cost on Mrs. Robins.

The Court of Appeals this week an
nounced its decision reversing the lower
Court IN the Peters Robins land case
which created such interest in our
Court last fall, and which was then de-
cided in favor of Mrs. Robins. The
Court of Appeals also requires Mrs.
Robins opay the costs in both Courts
and awards new trial. The opinion
in the case was written by Judge
Alfred Pearce, of Chestertown.
Messrs. Upshur e. Upshur and E.
Stanley Toadvin, attorneys, argued
the case for Peters in the Court of APP
peals. The question in the case involved
the ownership of a small tract of land
connected with or adjacent to the Fair
field tract near the Sinepuxent Bay,
and the right to the proceeds of some
81, 10000 worth of timber which was
cut on said tract several years ago.
Mr.. Peters land lies to the north of
Mrs. Robins Fairfield farm. The two
tracts about one hundred years ago be-
longed to the same person and in the
deed of Judge Robins to his brother for
the land now owned by Peters the
southern boundary of the tract conveyed
is spoken of as 1.-THE main horse road"
leading out from Judge Robins resi-
dence to Snow Hill. The whole con-
troversy arises as to which of two roads
is this main horse road, the triangular
strip of land between the two roads be-
ing the land in dispute. Mrs. Robins
sold the timber on this disputed tract to
Purnell and Tilghman who cut it and
laid aside the funds to await the decision
of this case.

Parents should not allow their chill
dren to beg the public for money to
buy base balls or to help them defray
the expenses of their sport. 1t is the
duty of parents to either give the chill
dren the proportionate part Of the money
or to lay out certain work for them to
do that they may earn enough money
for their wants. 1t is wrong to allow
them to get into the habit of begging
and to grow up reliant upon the assist
ance of their elders. The writer lived
in a town when he was a little kid
where all the boys, rich or poor, worked
out their spending money. At this time
of the year every mothers son of US
from ten to eighteen or twenty years Of
age was picking Strawberries or peas,
or working in the family garden part
of the day to get the money to meet
our necessities. That town has pro-
duced many self-reliant business men
who have accumulated much worldly
goods and at the same time have en-
joyed life. They were taught early
that they had to earn what they re-
ceived and they enjoyed it the more for
having earned it. Parents, give your
boys and girls a chance. also lay down
the law that they must not beg. II is
harmful to the early formation of
character and is nuisance.
