POLE.

ton of Priority is Absorbing.

London, Sept. 8.-The Reuter- Tele.
gram Company publishes dispatch
from st. Johns, N. F., in which it was
said that Commander Peary asserts
that he was the first man to reach
the north pole.
This claim has given new flip to
the polar controversy, and the after
noon papers display the dispatch from
St. Johns prominently and under
head lines that plainly intimate
revival of the doubts OF the bona fides
of DR.. Cooks reported success. These
doubts had almost disappeared when
Peary came upon the scene on the
coast OF Labrador, and the command
er's categorical statement has given
another dramatic turn to the north
pole controversy.
Officially Notified.
Washington, Sept. 7.-Through Her
bert L. Bridgman, secretary of the
Peary Arctic club, formal official mott
fication of Commander Peary's
pole was made known to the govern
ment. Mr.. Bridgeman sent dis
patch to the secretary of the navy in
which he says Commander Peary tele-
graphs from Indian Harbor, Lobrador:
North pole reached April 6 by

command"
Rivets Worlds Attention.
The announcement of Commander
Peary that he has discovered the north
pole rivets the attention of the en-.
tire civilized world.
Whatever question of priority may
exist between the claims of Com,

Two Grewsome Discoveries at Detroit

Police.
Detroit, Mich, Sept. S.-The head
and arms of young woman were
found Enclosed in a sack in Ecorse
creek under the Jefferson avenue
bridge.
The body was identified as that of
Miss Mabel N1illman of Ann Arbor,
the daughter of the widow of an Ann
Arbor policeman.
The authorities now feel that they
have made long stride toward So
luton of the mystery that was pre-
sented to them when the torso of a
young woman was discovered sewed
in similar sack In Ecorse creek in
the suburb of Ecorse. The second
sack found lay hidden under the
bridge, while the first was SO feet
down stream.
The authorities began search to
find farmer who is said to have seen
an automobile from Detroit speeding
toward the Ecorse creek bridge two
weeks ago, carrying well-dressed
man and a dirty and heavy looking
sack.

Taft TO SETTLE IT.
PRESIDENT WILL DECIDE CON
TRoVERsY BETWEEN PIN.
cHOT AND BALLINGER,
ONE OF THEM MUST GET OUT
Pinchot May Resign and Continue
Fight as Private Citizen If Presi-
dent Takes Side of the Secretary
Of Interior.

Washington. Sept. s.-Within the
present week President Taft will de-
eide the controversy between Secre-
tary Ballinger and Forester Pinchot
and upon his decision probably hangs
the question which Of the two men
will remain in the public service. It
is predicted that Ballinger will not be
the one to resign.
The president is expected to receive
from Richard A. Ballinger, secretary
of the interior, not later than today,
the reports of interior department Of
ficials who have passed on the Gun
ningham coal claims.
Mr.. Ballinger left for Boston with
four grips full of reports and will go
to Beverly as soon as the president
is ready to take up the controversy
with him.
What Will Taft Dor
Much speculation is heard here as
to what steps the president will take
after he renders decision. 1t is said
that the indications are that the con-
troversy over conservation between
Mr.. Ballinger and Mr. Pinchot will not
be settled by removing either one
from Office, while a peculiar situation
exists as to l.. R. CLAWS, chief of the
Seattle division of the field force of
the general land office, who originated
the charges concerning the Cunning
ham claims.
Some of Mr. Pinchot's friends init
mate that if President Taft should
sustain the course the secretary has
pursued with reference to the Gun.
ningham cases, Mr.. Pinchot will at
once resign and continue the fight
against Mr.. Ballinger as a private citi
zen.
The prevailing view among officials
is that either Ballinger or Pinchot
must go. The case, it is asserted, is
one which President Taft cannot
smooth over. We have lot of am
munition which we have not used"
said one of the Pinchot partisans. "If
the president should stand by his Sec
rotary of the interior we would of
course, give this information to the
public"
Would Lose the Result.
CLAWS has investigated the legality
of all the Alaska coal claims at cost
to the government of several thousand
dollars. These claims are set for hear
ing at the interior department next
month. If the president finds Claws
charges unfounded the general proce
| dure would be to relieve him of his
office. This cannot be done, say de-
partment officials, without losing to
the government all CLAWS accom-
plished on the line of his duty for
several years. This situation is worry
] ing interior department officials.
