The men told a thrilling story Of the
shipwreck They said the Gere, which
left here Friday with a crew Of fifteen
and a cargo of coal for Sagua Ia Grande,
Cuba, encountered rough weather after
passing out of the Delaware capes.
OFF the Winter Quarter Hghtship,
when only three men were on deck, an
unusually heavy sea struck the steamer
and she keeled over at a dangerous
angle. She was repeatedly struck by
high seas, and finally went over on her
side. Nothing could be done to right
the vessel, and she settled rapidly.
The only boat had been swept from the
davits and was floating away, therefore
there was nothing for the men to do but
Jump into the sea.
All managed to find timber or other
floating objects from the ship, and the
stronger swimmers struck out for the

important Case.

At the close Of the case, Commission
er Clark told the attorneys that the
case was one of great importance, and
the commission desired a full extract
of the evidence, and would also desire
briefs at an early date, to be decided
on by agreement of counsel. He said
it had been announced that the COM
mission would return to Salt Lake oct
%, and though he did not desire to en-
courage any interruption to that pro-
gram, he doubted if the entire commits
sion would be able to attend.
One of the most important develop
ments of the days testimony, according
to the Utah shippers, was the admis-
sion by Fred Wild, jr., general freight
agent for the Denver & Rio GTande,
that the application of the reduced
rates asked for by the Utah shippers
would result in a loss of only 1927, 900

road. The Utah shippers advance the
statement that the increase in business
which would result from fair rates

ing that it stood next to agriculture,
and that the powers Of both the nation

diffusion of knowledge regarding it and
in instruction as to methods, security
and economical development.
Just as agriculture has been taken
hold of by the states and the nation"
said the speaker, each experimenting
the other in useful work, so mining
should be taken hold of. We should
have Immediately a national depart
ment or bureau of mines and a national
school of mines i'm each state, and pub
ing SIMILAR TO those now made regarding
scientific agriculture.
THE national department Of mines
should be the clearing house of the
states as TO useful Information to be
utilized everywhere. The esta bIish-
ment of such q department is a legiti-
mate part Of the great conservation
movement.

This involves the coordination Of the
various scientific services Of the nation
that relate to natural resources and the
cooperation of the nation with states.
municipalities, corporations and individ-
Uals, so that the powers and rights Of
all can be exercised in harmony for a

been included, and one of the railroad
men suggested that nearly everything
excepting the dictionary had beeen sub
mitted as evidence by one side or the
other in the present case.

Written for the Lay Mind.

Commander Peary's contribution to
the controversy is rather vOluminOUs
but has been prepared with the idea
that it should be readily understood by
the lay mind
General Hubbard said tonight:
The statement has been prepared
and viii be submitted to the club. I do
not feel competent to say whether the
club will approve il exactly in its pres
ent form. There will be no consider
able changes, however. Some express
sions may be altered in phraseoIogy,
but that is all. Of course, no one can
take from or add to the facts.
THE statement viii simply contain
facts in their proper order, and viii con-
tain no arguments, except as the state
ment itself constitutes an argument.

ing that the statement will prove that

is matter for the public to judge.

Cooks Story as to Secrecy
Regarding Discovery of Pole,
CONTROVERSY NOW ACUTE

Bar Harbor, Ne, Sept. 2S.-The
material which Commander Peary
will produce to support his conten-
ton that DR.. Cook did not reach the
North Pole is now in completed form.
As soon as it has been passed upon
by the Peary Arctic club it will be
made public. General Hubbard, pres
ident of the club, and Commander
Peary concluded their conference Oh
the subject today. The statement
will be only the opening of the cam
paign which Peary will wage on Dr..
Cook.
It is intimated Peary has yet other
information to prove his contention, but
he thinks it will be unnecessary to make
it public at this time. Although there
has been no definite statement as to the
exact date when the proofs will be made
known, it is announced that General
Hubbard is planning to call d meeting
of the Peary Arctic club in New York
next week.
