Washington, Oct. 13.-"What will
Taft do with Cranes resignation,
was the question exciting all Wash
ington today Crare's stinging reply
to Knox's statement in which he
states he was unfairly treated by the
state department, lays the burden of
his action directly on President Taft
under whose instructions he says he
acted. 1t makes the action of the
President of great Importance. 1t is
believed he will not interfere but will
make Knox bear the responsibility for
the action taken, Many diplomats be-
lieve Crane was used as a scapegoat

state department to let Japan know
that the government objected to the
treaties without going so far that it
could not retreat if necessary.

Mounted Policeman Leaves
for Cabezon 10 Investi-
gate Horse Thefts.

Mounted Policeman J. B. Rusk re-
turned this morning from Espalona
without having arrested Fabian Serna
the twenty year old son of seventy
wear old Francisco Serna. When Rusk
reached the Serna home, he found that
Serna's injuries are not fatal and al
the same time, he found the family ut
terly opposed to making complaint
against the son. The parents as well
as the sister insisted that Serna int1ict'
ed the injuries upon himself in falling
c1el table and that young Serna did
not lift his hands against his aged
sire. Rusk left today for CabeZ1n
Sandaval county, where report has it
that the Navajoes are leaving their al
lotments to engage in the gentle
pastime of horse stealing causing the
settlers much uneasiness.
District Attorney Read after con,
versing with DR.. E. G. Murphy and
others at Espanola, expressed the be-
lief that the family is merely trying to
shield the boy but as the father and
the sister were the only witnesses and
they eXonerate the boy from any
wrong-doing it will be impossible tc
secure conviction and he will therefore
not put the county to the unnecessary
expense of prosecution and trial, un
less Serna should die.

data will be submitted to territorial
officials for approval so that every
thing may be absolutely regular. Fur.
ther, when the work on the project is
commenced in earnest, everything
will be done in accordance with direc-
tions from the territorial engineer in
cooperation with the United States
reclamation service. This plan of
working thoroughly in harmony with
the Territory and the United States
government will preclude all chances
OF fiimsy construction work or other
serious and annoying mistakes.
The construction work alone is to
cost the enormous sum of two million
dollars. From this can be gained an
idea of the gigantic undertaking.
Bonds for the sum of two millions
will be issued, the undertaking of the
same having already been arranged
for in the east.

The land to be irrigated lies partly

large Urton lake project which the u.

on which the work was stopped owing
to lack of funds. The government got
no further than to make surveys, plat

of the u S. reclamation service which
began the project, under the Carey

Cook Did Not Go
to Pole
LATTER MAKES NO REPLY
But VIII Bring Living Wit
nesses for Examination
by Scientists.

Buffalo, Oct 13.-'I can only say
that the living witnesses of the jour
ney to the pole will themselves dis
prove the distorted versions of their
statements put into their mouths by
Peary," said Cook today. Il will bring
them to America as soon as possible
and submit them for examination to
any scientific body" Cook said he
would make no direct reply to Peary
as he desired no newspaper contro-
yersy.
Pearys Statement.
New York, Oct. 12.-The following
statement of Commander Robert f.
Peary, which he submitted to the
Peary Arctic club in support of his
contention that DR.. Cook did not
reach the north pole, is now made
public for the first time. The state
ment has been copyrighted by the
Peary Arctic club.
Some of my reasons for saying that
DR.. Cook did not go to the north
pole will be understood by those who
read the following statements of the
two Eskimo boys who went with him,
and who told me and others Of my
party where he did go. Several Eski-
mos who started with DR.. Cook from
Anoratok in February, 1908, were at
Etah when | arrived there in August,
1908. They told me that DR. Cook
had with him, after they left, two
Eskimo boys or young men, two
sledges and some twenty dogs. The
boys were I-tod-a-shOo and Ah-pe-
lah. I had known them from their
childhood. One was about eighteen
and the other about nineteen years
of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement l
touched tNerke, near Cape Chalon)
in August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me
been: that he had wintered in Jones
Sound and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been long
way north, but that the boys who
were with him, I-fook-a-shoo and
Ah-pe-lah. said that this was not so.
The Eskimos laughed at DR.. Cooks
story. On reaching Etah, | talked
with the Eskimos there and with the
two boys and asked them to describe
Dr. Cooks journey to members of my
party and myself This they did in
the manner stated below.
(Signed) r. (. PEARY,
Strong Defense of Cook.
Topeka, Kans., Oct. 13.-Professor
L. l.. Dyche of the University of Kan
sas, who accompanied both Cook and
Peary, on former expeditions to the
Arctic, said today regarding Peary's
charges, in the Topeka State Journal
that they are incredible, that no ig-
norant Eskimos could make the map
ascribed to them after they had not
been over the ground for year He
says the most astounding part of the
story is that the claims that Cook
after reaching the part of the country
which he wished to attain, after a
long struggle abandoned the dash to
the pole without reason. Dyche says
that this is the most unlikely.
