THINKS COOK
REACHED POLE

BY United Press Leased spesial Wire.
LONDON, Sept. 2i.-Sir Robert Ball,
professor of astronomy and geometry in
Cambridge and one Of the leading scien-
lists of England has at last become con-
vinced that Dr. Frederick A. Cook dis
covered the North Pole. For several weeks
Sir Robert was in doubt but to-day he de-
clared that he did not believe that DR..
Cook would have had the temerity to
make discovery claim had he not ac-
tually reached the pole
FAXED observations could not stand a
scientific investigation declared Sir Robert
to-day IF could sec the doctors instru-
ments and his records. 1t would not take
long to decide beyond all question Of doubt
whether he reached the pole.
"The certainty OF exposure in the event
that he were detected would. I think. deter
any man from making false claims"
Sir Robert, and Lieutenant Shackletor
are now the only two scientists Of reputa-
tion i'm England who have come out in
favor Of Cook. The English prejudice
arises from the fact that the doctors dis.
covery was shock TO English explorers
who counted on being the first to find the
pole

LAFOLLETTE
HITS AT TAFT
Wisconsin Senator Says he
Himself Cannot be Read
Out of the Party
BY United Press Leased Special Wire

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
MADISON. Wis, Sept 2i-United
States Senator Lafollette does not
propose TO be read out of the Republi-
can party by President Taft or any
other man.
This is his reply to the Presidents
Winona speech on the tariff in which
Taft scored the Republican 'insurg
ents' for their action on the Payne
Aldrich bill The reply is contained
in the leading editorial in this week s
issue of Lafollette's Weekly Magazine,
and is summed up in the following
words:
1.-The statement Of the President ~
featured I'm the press OF the country
as an attempt to read out of the party
those Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives who voted against the tariff
bin. That cannot be done. No in
dividual has the power 10 read a rep
resentative out of his party That
power rests solely with the voters who
selected him as their party representa-
tive. Nor can even the President de-
clare for the people whether or not
the tariff law is genuine or counter
felt. He cannot decide that even for
the Republican party. The people
have the divine right OF deciding that
question for themselves. They will
do so in their own way, at their own
time and upon the facts"
The editorial refers to President
Tafts statement when he signed the
tariff bill that it was "a sincere effort
20 make a downward revision and 10
comply with the promises Of the plat
form" The editorial adds:
THE Presidents second declaration
was made I'm his speech at Winona. Il
| is stronger than his first He declares
the law is more than an effort" it Is
a fulfllment Of the promises Of down
/ ward revision
1.-THE President comes with this
declaration to the support of Congress.

TAFT SEES A
FIST Fight
Gun Play That Was Not on
the Program in Utah
Town
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PROVO. Utah, Sept 24-President
Taft is here to-day in search of new
adventures after witnessing a fist fight
which ended in gun play. an i'm
promptu feature of the program at
the mouth Of the Gunnison tunnel yes
terdsy. fight which started on the
stand about the tunnels mouth where
Taft turned on the waters, has split
the town of Montrose into two bitter
factions. Sheriff Duguelle, who came
into town with the President took
occasion to "soak" II. L. Daniels, the
superintendent of the eastern section.
Daniels fell as though struck by a
black jack. and half a dozen of his
friends jumped into action to wipe
up the boards with the sheriff.
Duguelle pulled his gun and would
! have sent a few bullets whizzing about
the ears of the crowd and incidentally
in the direction of Taft had not the
| Mortified spectators overpoYered him.
What's all this about?" demanded
Taft his beaming smile changing to a
worried look.
Nothing but little row, Mr. Presi-
dent" explained the local committee
men, and they thereupon became very
busy In explaining details of the engi-
neer work to distract his attention
from the unpleasantness.
As soon as the crowd returned from
the tunnel to the town the partisans
of the combat commenced to "liquor
up" from private stores as the city is
dry. BY stenuous efforts the keepers
OF the tunnel succeeded in preventing
any serious battle until the President
left town at / o'clock. but after he got
safely away it was prophesied that
the trouble lid would be lifted.
The ancient GENTLE Mormon fght
that has been going on for so many
years has broken out afresh in Sal
Lake City. According to present ar.
lrangements Senator Smoot will be 1.-THE
