peARY MORE TEMPERATE.

New York, Sept 14.-Peary, accord ing to dispatches from Battle Harbor today. has assumed a less aggressive attitude toward his rival, Dr. Cook, and with Dr. Cook beyond the reach of the wireless on the ocean, the flame of the north pole controversy must be fed by the supporters of the two explorers, more than by the prin- cipals.
 Dr. Cook has maintained all along that he could make good" when the time came, but until today Peary flashed at intervals curt messages from Labrador questioning the achievement of the Brooklyn explorer. When interviewed today, however. Peary said he declined to enter into further debate until Dr. Cook has is sued his full authorized statement. At the same time the commander em- phatically reaffirmed, T am the only white man who has ever reached the north pole" With the situation as it stands, the world can but bide its York, where he is due September 21. Plans for the reception of both the explorers being completed, little if anything of weight on either side of the controversy was produced today. Herbert Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arctic club, who is in Sydney. declared as false the story that Peary appropriated Cooks stores in the north, saying he merely saved" them.

MAKES POSITIVE DENIAL
Did Not Open Cooks Docu- ments or Anticipate His Claim Says Absolutely He Is Only White Man to Reach the Pole

Battle Harbor, Sept. 14.-Peary to- day answered a number of questions asked him by the associated press
 correspondent. Was Dr. Cook at the pole?" was the first question to which the commander replied Cook was not at the pole on April
 21, 1908 or at any other time. l make this statement advisadly and at the proper time will back it up with proof" Were you surprised on returning to Labrador to learn that Cook had reported reaching the pole. or had anything happened before you returned to cause you to antici-
 pate this event?" T heard in New
 York that Dr. Cook was going to bring the pole back" replied Peary, Is it true you opened a letter or document having reference to this point?" No" he responded emphati- cally. Did Harry Payne Whitney make any complete statements to you about another polar expedition?
 He made no statement" said Peary. He is with relief schooner Jeannie now, probably shooting bear on the western coast" he added What life is to found at the pole? Birds. fish or animalsg" When I was there 1t was not the season for birds Do not know if there are any fish in the polar seas at that spot and there are no animals at the pole
 Peary declined to discuss the charges other he took supplies be- longing to Cook but declared that Captain Bartlett could not throw any light on this point because he had not been in Greenland s.nce Peary was there last. Rudolph F'rancke begged piteously to be taken out of Greenland. He was suffering or scurvy
 speaking about the unexplored area in the polar regions. Peary said mere were millions of square miles O, uh- known territory between the pole ana Bering straits previous to his expedi- ton. He had not figured by now much that quantity is reduced Asked regarding the purple snow heids' bummocks and crevices approaching the pole, Peary said: That IS range of information I do not care to impart now" Speaking of the depth of the water. he said that he had run out 1900 fathoms of line without reaching bottom within five miles Of the pole What was the thickness or the ice and the temperature" T had no means of measuring the ice. which was heavy. and I do not care to tell the temperature"
 Bearing on the Cook controversy Peary was asked, Are the Eskimos who were with pr. Cook in the dash to. the pole on your ship?" No, but I talked with them" Have you heard of any Eskimos ever at the pole be- fore yours?" No, never" No in ducement that could be offered them would tempt them out on that sea of ice until went there. They knew by exnerience the liability of the ice up and carrying the people i away\ to death" Why did you not have white witnesses at the pole?' .Becatse. after a fe-time of effort. l I dearly wanted the honor for myself

DISTINGUISHED OFFICER HERE

Reporter: General, the peo- , pie of Arizona would like to know who discovered the north pole"
 Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell (after mature thousht): There are two north poles. Peary got one and Cook found the other. Let us suppose that two men start out from different parts of the globe with the intention of reaching that spot where their instruments will record 90 de- degrees of latitude and no longi- tude. Let us take into account the personal equation of the t'.o
 men; the inaccuracy of the in-
 struments used; the fact that the observations are made under the most trying circumstances
 and after a journey unparaieiled for hardships anyhwere else on
 the globe, and what is the re-
 suit? Undoubtedly, the ealeula- ! tions of both men under, the cir
 eumstanees led them to believe
 they stood on top of the earth; .
 that they both stood on the same
 spot is hardly beIievabIe. Hence, .

THE PAYNE BILL
Denounced in Severe Terms BY Ar
Orator From Texas.

Orator From Texas.
The following. denunciation Of the
Payne bill by Hon. Morris Sheppard
Nc Texas appears in the Congressional
Record:
Mr. Chairman, the Payne bill is a
deliberate betrayal of the American
people. 1t. is q fresh illustration OF
the perfidy of the Republican party
1T is a new evidence of the fact that
effective tariff relief is impossible SO
lc'nS as the Republican party retains
control Of the American government II
Is at once the clumsiest and most i'm
pudent measure in American political
history. 1t is characteristic Repub-
llcah reply to the prayers of the peo-
pie for justice in Federal taxation. II
is the browning irfamy of fifty years
of Republican tariffs, signalling the
supremacy OF monopoly, the corrup-
ton of government, the degradation of
the Republic. (Applause.)
The tariff declaration in the Repub-
'ican platform gives the protected in
terests q deed to the Treasury of the
United States. The widest Socialist
could not have invented more dan.
Eercus and a)uring fallacy. The Payne
blll completes the delivery of the Urea
Sury to the trusts, and the American
people, unable TO resist the appeals
and promises of Republican leader
ship, a leadership buttressed with the
cratory OF Rcvcridge and Hughes, the
perverted logic Of lIlihu Root, the full
mutations or Rnosevelt and the inpos-
ing proportions Of Mr.. Taft, having
i:rdorsed the atrocious transaction at
the polls. are now witnessing the vio.
lation of their confidence in this new
license for unlimited, pillage.
1t is humiliating beyond all language
to observe t1at the American Republic
founded to contradict the tyrannies
tn, frenzies and the fanaticisms OF
ages that are dead, is today the bigoted
disciple Of the darkest commercial fall
lacy of the past, the doctrine of OPP
prcssive mposts that drain the coun-
trN's substance to involve at last the
multitudes they starve, the few they
gorge, in common ruin. the survival
% that ancient mercantilism which for
centuries cmbroled the European con-
tincnt In trade rivalries, assaults. re-
pr;sals, in cruel and exllausting con-
flicts. (Applause on the Democratic
side.)

DIRECT PRIMARIES

TN resolutions adopted asking the
members of the legislature to vote
Il for the direct primaries bill as
originally introduced and asking Sem
ator Flint to use his influence to bring
about that result, the members of the
City club gave expression to view
that is obtaining more and more Gre
dence. namely, that certain amend
nents providing for the expression of
choice by districts instead of by the
state at large, passed by the assembly
and now under consideration by the
senate are said to have been intro
duced for the express purpose of as
The members of the City club stated
further that in the opinion of the club
a United States senator representing
the whole state should be elected by
advisory vote by districts is a mere
political maneuver in the interest of a
certain candidate who should be will
ing to submit his candidacy in good
faith to the electors of his party in the
state as whole.
The amendments, as the City club
resolution asserted and as a large and
discerning portion of the public be-
lieves, are not the choice of the people,
who want a real and not an imitation
direct primary bill. The purpose of
direct primaries would be sadly inter
fered with if the measure We're to be
narrowed in the manner proposed by
the persons whose zeal in the cause of
Senator Flint has evidently outrun
their discretion. Their object is so
obvious that the appeal OF the City
club TO the senator, which is practically
an appeal to his honor good faith and
good citizenship, will doubtless meet
with the right kind of response from
that gentleman.

HOz0 Tariff Has Increased
Cost of Living for Poor

I'm THE American Magazine for
March, Ida NJ. Tarbell writes an arti-
u Gle which she entities Where Every
Penny Counts" 1t is an article which
shows how the tariff has increased the
cost of living for the poor. Following
is an interesting passage which re-
yeals Mayor Tom johnson of Cleve-
land in a pleasing light. He was In
congress at the time:
surely there can be no longer any
justification in this country of duties
which increase by even a penny the
cost to the poor of any necessary arti-
Gle of food, of shelter, of clothing. The
answer to every prayer for such pro-
lection should be the one that Tom
Johnson made in 1898 to the cloak
workers of Cleveland, who had plead
with him to vote against the Wilson
tariff bill, unless 1T was amended by
adding to the duty of As per cent, ad
valorem, on cloaks, which it proposed
an additional duty of 49h cents per
pound. i.
81 shall do nothing of the kind,
said Mr.. Johnson. My objection to the
Wilson bill is not that its duties are
too low, but that they are too high.
will do all can to cut its duties down,
but l will strenuously oppose putting
them up. You ask me to vote to make
cloaks artificially dearer. How can
do that without making it harder for
those who need cloaks to get cloaks

More Capital Is Needed for
Development OF California

of industry If man has used up his
capital In getting started in business
and is unable to add to his equipment
as success follows his efforts, he is in
quite as embarrassing condition as IL
his business had proved total failure.
for he must fail eventually If he Is un-
able to keep his business up to the
commercial demands. In California
there are more business concerns which
come to grief by reason of an inability
to take care of the orders which they
receive, because of inadequate facili-
ties, than there are concerns who fail
because they do not receive orders
nough to keep their business going.
The banks of the state of California
are, as a rule, officered by men who
have an exact knowledge of business
conditions in the state. They fully
realize the difficulties under which a
greater percentage of the business en-
terprises labor and they adopt liberal
policy in assisting men to finance
worthy enterprise which might other
wise languish for need of sufficient
capital to establish them upon basis
of success. But the banks themselves
have their limitations, They have not
the funds to carry the burden which is
put upon them. In the strictest sense,
nearly every bank in the state of Call
fornia is really a partner In number
Of business enterprises for which they
are furnishing a large share of the
capital, and there are so many men
who want banker partners that the
warp of bank credit is inadequate for
the weaving of our great and growing
industrial fabric.

it not injure others? There are many
cloak makers In Cleveland, 1t Is true.
but they are few as compared with the
cloak users. Would you consider me
an honest representative II l would
thus consent to injure the many for
the benefit of the few, even though the
few in this case were yourselves?"
And you ask me to demand In ad-
dition to a monstrous ad valorem duty
of As per cent a still more monstrous
weight duty, that will make the poorest
sewing girl pay as much tax on hei
cheap shoddy as Mrs. Astor or Mrs
Vanderbilt would be called on to pay
on a cloak of the finest velvets and en-
broideries! Do you really want me tc
vote thus to put the burden of taxa
tion on the poor while letting the rich
escape? Whether you want me to or
not, will not do 1t.
THAT, as your employers say, .
serviceable cloak can be bought In Ber.
lin at $1.20 affords no reason in my
mind for keeping up the tariff. On the
contrary, II is the strongest reason for
abolishing it altogether. There are lots
of women in this country who would
be rejoiced to get cloaks so cheaply,
lots of women who must now pinch and
strain to get a cloak; lots of women
who cannot now afford to buy cloaks.
and must wear old or cast off garments
or SILVER with cold. Is 1t not common
justice that we should abolish every
tax that makes 1t harder for them to
clothe themselves?

GREATER LOS ANGELES

A GIVE preparations for consolida-
II ton are being made by all the
IA cities interested, and the Greater
Los Angeles program is being arranged
with scrupulous care. A great deal OF
detailed work done before consolida-
ton may save a great deal of trouble
or perhaps embarrassment afterward,
and it is highly important the various
consolidating cities should enter into
their new relation and take up their
new duties with an accurate under
standing as to what we may call the
distribution of responsibilities.
Mr. Fleming suggests that when Los
Angeles consolidation committee Is ap-
pointed it should look over the harbol
carefully, map out in general what
Los Angeles desires 20 do, and then
present it's plans to the city council
for approval. He says that among
other things we should be prepared tC
do our utmost to obtain terminal
rates for every point within the
municipality where they are needed
which will include the harbor. In his
opinion, there will not be any DISPOSE
ton whatever on the part of the com
merciaI organizations of Los Angeles
to refuse to join in that request.
Consolidation plans are now well be-
gum The old proverb says this is
shalf DONE" and that is correct to this
extent: the way is mapped out clearly
and IL a sharp lookout is maintained in
order that influences and interests
which from the first have been hostile
and are still hostile to consolidation
may not thwart the purposes of the
people, plans will be completed without
interruption, and Greater Los Angeles
will be put on the map.
Greater Los Angeles, with it's seaport
at San Pedro, from the beginning OF
its career will enjoy many advantages
over any possible rival and it is only
a question of time and of steady en-
deavor until the metropolis of the
southwest takes a leading position
among the maritime cities of the Union.
