CEN. GREELY LEAVES
THE EXPLORERS CLUB
Resignation Generally Thought to Be
on Account of Cook-Pesry
Controversy.

New York, Dec. n.-General A. ".
Greedy resigned as a member Of the
Explorers club almost at the begin
ming Of the Peary-Cook controversy.
This became known today through the
clubs secretary, Harris c Walsh.
4 am not in a position to say
whether General Greely's resignation
was due to the Cook-Peary contro-
versy," said Mr.. Walsh. In view of
his friendship for DR.. Cook. however,
and the confidence he expressed in him,
his resignation may be so construed by
many persons. I can say he did not
mention Dr. Cook in his letter to the
club. 1t was just a note Of resignation,
and did not give any reason for the
step"
1t was learned today that the mem
bers of the Explorers club had made
a strong effort to persuade General
Greedy to reconsider his intention to
resign. but without avail.
General Greedy was president OF the
club prior to the election Of Commander
Peary to that office. The latter was re-
elected at a meeting here last night
In ali the COOk-PeaTy controversy

plorer of experience and reputation.

WORK NOT
AMONG THEIR DUTIES

Washington, Dec. 11.-President TAFT
today served notice on ambitious MEM
bers Of congress that the newly organ
lied machinery for the taking of the
coming census is not to be utilized for
political ends. He addressed eighty
I'VE supervisors Of the census at the
executive Office and told them plainly
if they used their offices, or if they per
mitted the enumeratOrs directly under
them, to further political ends, ne
would remove them promptly.
Many Of yOu-mOst of you-haYe
been recommended by congressman -
said the President, land 1t may be that
some of those congressman will come
to you and expect, because they did
recommend you, that you owe them
something in the way Of selecting the
men as enumerators who will help them
in their congressional elections.
You have got to select the men who
you think will do the work, and If you
catch them doing political work, I wish
you to remove them, just as L will re-
move you if I catch you doing political
work 1t is business. I am not quar-
