PEARY'S MAP IS
NOT ACCEPTED
A Former Member of Party
Points Out the Fallacies in
Peary's Charge

Topeka kas. Oct. 14.-Pfof. D. l..
Dyche head of the department of
natrual history Of the University of
Kansas, who made several trips to the
north as a member, both of the Peary
and the Cook exploring parties. and
who is personally acquainted with the
explorers, today made statement to
the Topeka State-Journal, concerning
Commander Robert e. Peary's state
ment published today. Prof. Dyche's
state is in part as follows:
Commander Peary's statement pub
lished today is to my mind absolutely
incredible. 1t is based on the testi-
mony of ignorant Eskimos. who were
incapable of understanding country
to which they had never been before.
we'll enough to outline such map as
that published today and credited by
DR.. Peary to their explanation. Only
intelligent white mel with instru-
ments could make their way to such
a country and be able to report in de-
tail upon it year after the trip was
made.
while l believe Commander Peary
reached the pole, have not shadow
of doubt that DR.. Cook reached the
pole first and exactly as he detailed
in his own published story.
"The most astounding part of Com
mander Pearys story, it seems to me,
consists of statement that DR.. Cook
got to the north part of the land bor-
dering on the Great Arctic ocean. the
point for which he had striven for
month during the hardships of intense
cold and the rigors of arctic climate
with ample supplies, sleds and Eski-
mos all in first class condition, and
then simply turned back apparently
for no reason.
How unlikely it is that man with
over twenty years arctic experience,
fired with an ambition of life time
would give up just at time and place
when one of the greatest trophies the
world has to bestow upon a brave and
daring explorer, was standing within
his reach, beckoning him to come on"

Indignation in Rome.

Rome, Oct. 14.-Indignation meet
ings are being held throughout Italy
today in consequence of yesterdays
events at Barcelona. In this city the
protest against the execution of Fer
rer has brought business almost to a
standstill. Workingmen generally
have abandoned their employment. No
street cars are being operated and
cabs and automobiles remain at their
stations with no one to take them out.
The whole normal life of the city IL
interrupted. Among the masses the
feeling grows more turbulent, as the
people attribute the execution of the
revolutionist to the vatican influence
and Jesuit support.

LIQUOR POURED INTO GUTTER.
Manning Authorities Trying to XIII
Liquor Traffic.

Manning. April 8.-About six GAL
Ions of contraband liquor. which had
been captured some time ago by the
Manning police. were emptied into a
gutter yesterday afternoon by Sheriff
Gamble and Chief Huggins-the first
instance of the sort that has occurred
here.
The municipal ordinances in regard
to liquor traffic are very stringent. and
the police officials Of the town are
very vigilant, so that such as are dis
posed to ignore or defy the law must
needs be very wary. Upon evidence
recently gathered, several parties were
summoned to appear in the mayors
court todry on charges of unlawfully
selling liquor. One of the accused
was dismissed and the other cases
were set for trial tomorrow and on
later dates. In several instances the
accused will demand trial by jury.
