FRIENDS OF EXPLORERS BELIEVE
 THEY HAVE REACHED NORTH POLE
MESSAGE FROM PEARY OR COOK
 IS DAILY EXPECTED
Arctic Club Members in New York Are of Opinion Expeditions Have Arrived Safely at
 Goal

NEW YORK, June 30.-Word is ex pected almost any day from F. A Cook, arctic explorer, who is now be lieved to be awaiting transportation home at Etah, North Greenland, and geographers in the Arctic club here which sent him north, profess the earnest belief that he has reached the north pole.
 Reviewing the journal he sent home from Cape Hubbard last year, from which point he made his final dash for the pole, these geographers note the route he planned to take would lead him directly to the north pole, provid- ing that there was not unfavOrable ice conditions.
 Coupling this indication with the fact that there have been more ice bergs floating down into the Atlantic ocean this spring, and much earlier than ever before, the scientists be- lieve they are safe in predicting that Dr. Cook was not hampered by un- favorable ice conditions and that he therefore reached the pole.
 Dr. Cook is believed to be now wait ing at Etah for the arrival of a Scotch whaler which will bring him and his possibly great news back to civiliza- tion.
 WASHINGTON, June 20.-Friends in this city of Commander Robert Edwin Peary, the explorer, who left last July for the frozen north, said to- day they believed Peary by this time has planted the Stars and Stripes at the north pole.
 No news has been received from Peary since he left Etah, North Green Iopd Auo1,ct IT 1QO2 for dash as far into the ice-bound seas as the his specially built vessel, would carry him before being frozen in.
 If he has been successful in reach ing the pole the news of his discov- cry will not reach a point of tele- graphic communication until August or September. If he has been unsuc- cessful he will remain in the far north and try again next spring.

BOY KILLS BABY BROTHER
 BURIES BODY IN HOGPEN
SHOCKING DETAILS REVEALED
 AT MODESTO
TWelve-Year-OId Brother Tells How He Killed Tot and Covered Corpse with Sand in
 Pig Pen

| MODESTO, June 2S.-After aiding all day in the search for his 6-year-old brother, who was believed to have been kidnapped, Cecil Hopkins, the son of a farmer living just south of this city, confessed tonight that he shot and killed the child last night and buried the body in the hog pen, where it was uncovered by the searchers. The shooting took place during the absence of the boys parents. The neighbors noticed that the younger child was missing and, believing he had been Kidnapped, called on the po- lice to aid in the search.
 Boy Aids Searchers Throughout the day the surrounding g country was secured, and every canal and pond dragged without result.
 Cecil declared he was utterly ignor- ant of his brothers whereabouts and helped the searchers without giving a sign of his guilty knowledge.
 Tonight the searchers found the body in the hog pen. The child had re- ceived the full charge of a shotgun in the back and death was probably in- stantaneous.
 Coroner Gets Confession.
 MODESTO, June 29.-Twelve-year- old Cecil Hopkins, self-confessed slayer of his 6-year-old brother, Theo- dore, made a statement to the coroner today that strengthens that officials belief that the victim was buried alive in the pig pen, where his body was found.
 "He breathed little and stretched his arms, said Cecil in describing the tragedy, and referring to incidents fol lowing the firing of the shot that made gaping wound in the little body.
 Cecil was kept in jail all night, and refused to talk until today, when the coroner made a determined effort to get the details from the child's own lips. AS he told of the shooting and subsequent burial of his brother, Cecil munched some candy that had been given him at the jail and apparently failed to realize the gravity of the situ- ation
 Quarrel at Luncheon
 The two were eating luncheon in the house and quarreled over the food. He first drove his brother from the house, Cecil said; then followed, and in a burst of anger seized shotgun and fired at the fugitive.
 Fearing the consequences of his deed when his parents should return, he laid the form of his baby brother in the shadow of a fence while he made an excavation in the sand at the pig pen While the grave was being dug Cecil said Theodore moaned, and once his arms The cramped po- sition of the arms, and the fact that the victims mouth was filled with sand, add to the theory that the child was buried alive.

Slowly Becomes as Negro

NEW YORK, June 30.-In James McFaul, a street car driver, Bellevue hospital has one of the strangest cases that has come under it's observation in many years.
 About a year ago McFaul's skin commenced to turn black and it has continued to do so until now he is as black as a negro all over, with the ex- ception of the right side of his face.
 Close observation indicates that the transformation may not affect the right side of his face, which is rosy white.
 None of the Bellevue doctors have been able to diagnose the trouble, ex- cept that it is an organic affection due 10 the softening of tissues.

New York, N. Y, Dec 26.-Special
| interests have made repeated attacks
on the United States forest service
and these attacks have increased in
violence just in proportion as the ser
vice has offered effective opposition
to predatory wealth. said Gil. ord Pin
cihot. chief of the United States forest
service, in a speech today at New
York CITY,
Mr.. Pinchot took as his subject for
his speech, the Peoples Forum, Con
servation of Equal Opportunity" Mr..
Pinlchot said:
THE American people have evident
ly made lr:) their minds that our nat
! ural resources must be conserved.
That is good, but it settles only half
the question. For whose benefit shall
| they be conservation the benefit of
the many or for the use and profit of
the few. The great conflict now be-
ing fought will decide. There is no
other question before us that begins
to he so important, nor that will be SO
difficult to settle, as the great
question between special interests and
equal opportunity; between the priv
ileges of the few and the rights of
the many, between government by
men for human welfare and govern
ment 10y money for profit, between the
men who stand for the Roosevelt pol
icies and the men who stand AGAINST
them. This is the essence of the
conservation problem To-day.

issue. When a few men get posses
sion of one of the neoessaries of life,
either through ownership of natural
resource or through unfair business
methods, and use that control to ex-
tort undue profits, as in the recent
cases of the Sugar Trust and the beef
packers, the injure the average man
without good reason, and they are
guilty of moral wrong
II believe in one form of govern
ment and I believe in the Golden
Rule But We must face the truth
that monopoly of the sources of pro-
duction makes it impossible for vast
numbers of men and women to earn
a fair living. Right here the conser-
walton question touches the daily life
cf the great body OF our people, who
pay the cost of special privileges. And
the price is heavy That price may
be the chance to save the boys from
the saloons and the corner gang, and
the girls from worse, and to make
good citizens of them instead CT bad,

tragedies of life spring directly from

the lack of a little money. Thousands
of daughters of the poor fall into the
hands of the white slave traders be-
cause their poverty leaves them with
out protection Thousands of fami-
lies, as the Pittsburg survey has ne
Gently shown us, lead lives of brutal
izing over7work in return for the bar
est living.
The people of this country have
lost vastly more than they can ever
regain by gifts of public property,
forever and without charge, to men
who gave nothing in return. 1t is true
that we have made supurb material
progress under this system, but it is
not we'll for us to rejoice too freely
in the slices the special interests
have given US from the great loaf of
the property of the people.
1.-The people of the United States
have been cOmplacent victims of
system Of p1undeT often 9erpetrated
by men who would have been surpris-
ed beyond measure to ibe accused of
wrong doing, and many Of whom in
their private lives we're model citizens.
But they have suffered from a cur
ious moral perversion by which it be-
comes praisworthy to do for a corpor-
alton things which they would refuse
with the Hottest scorn to do for Them
selves. Fortunately for us all that
delusion is passing rapidly away.
1T is the honorable distinction of
the forest service that it has been
more constantly, more violently and
more bitterly attacked by the repre-
sentatives of the special interests in
recent years than any other govern
ment bureau. These attacks have in
creased in violence and bitterness
just in proportion as the service has
offered effective opposition to preda-
tory wealth. The more successful we
have been in preventing land grabbing
and the absorption of water power by
the special interests, the more ingen-
ious, the more devious and the more
dangerous these attacks have become:
A favorite one is to assert that the
forest service, in it's zeal for the pub
lie welfare, has played ducks and
brakes with the acts of congress-
THE fact is, on the contrary, that
the service has had warrant of law for
everything it has done Not once
since it was created has any charge
of illegality, despite the most search
ing investigation and the bitterest at
tack, ever led to reversal or reJroof
by either house of congress or by any
congressional committee.
Another and unusually PLAUSIBLE,
form of attack, is to demand that all
land not now bearing trees shall be
thrown out of the national forests.
Still another attack nearly sue
c7ssful two years ago, was an attempt
to prevent the forest service from
telling the people. through the press,
what it is accomplishing for them, and
how much this nation needs the for
est
Since the forset service called pub
lie attention to the rapid absorption
of the water power sites and the
threatening growth of great water
power monopoly. the attacks upon it
have increased with marked rapidity.
l anticipate that they will continc1e to
do so. Still greater opposition is
promised in the near future. There
is but one protection-an awakened
public opinion. That is w1hy I give
you the facts"

There is in Washington a republican

unite in providing a modern instance of
the truth of the ancient maxim that
whom the gods would destroy they

SUNNY jim FALLS
DEAD ON THE TRACK
President Taft Signs Proclamation
Opening Up Three Reservations In
the Pacific Northwest.

While being tried out on the race
track. at the local fair grounds this
morning at 11:17 o'clock, Sunny Jim,
the Swear old gelding belonging to
DIR. C. P. Cannon, dropped dead and
though no direct cause can be given
to account for his death, it is supposed
that he ruptured blood vessel.
Frank Barrows, one of the most
experienced horsemen in the north
west was driving the horse and had
made one circuit of the oval, and was
returning to the entrance gate, when.
without the slightest warning, the last
stopper dropped in the harness.
When driven four years ago by
William HogOboom, Sunny Jim step
ped a mile IN PIG IL, and as an ex-
cellent record has been established by
him this season. the horse was to be
shipped through the Dakotas next
week
The mysterious cases of race horses
dropping dead on the track, while rare,
is not without a parallel and only last
year at the Spokane races a local
horse fell dead after having made a
circuit of the track.

THE THEATRICAL REVOLT.

Just what will come of the uprising
of theatrical managers in different parts
of the country against the syndicated
tyranny of couple of New York mag
mates remains to be seen. 1t appears,
however that there is something doing
in the way of revolt; and there are
hopes, if not expectations, of better
things
Managers of the Middle West, at least
an association of them controlling
nearly $50 theaters in that section, met
in Chicago, and boldly asserted their
right to open their houses to any at
traction which looked good to them
Managers of the Far West have not
done as much. Possibly they have not
the requisite sand in their craws; for
it takes sand nowadays to run your
own business, and especially if that
business be in the theatrical line. It is
not quite certain that the Middle West
fellows will have the courage to do
what they would like to debut, as we
say, there is hope.
The public is interested in this re-
volt because the public has long been
tired of accepting it's amusement from
firm of NV York caterers. A self
respecting community likes to feel that
it has some individuality some indie
pendence. In this matter of theaters,
a handsome edifice is erected, for ex-
ample 1t is thoroughly equipped for
the presentation of the best there is.
Everyone is proud of the achievement
But the fine edge of qualification is
dulled by the fact that we Immediately
turn the house over to a New York
management that installs the local les
see, owner or ostensible manager as a
janitor. The latter may open and close
the doors and sell the tickets for lust
such shows as the New York manage
ment chooses to send out If a foreign
celebrity happens along who has not
made terms with that New York man
agement, that foreign celebrity is at
liberty to put up tent or show in the
skating rink; for there is nothing doing
in the theater that is the pride of the
town. Any prospect of the upset OF
this humiliating condition is to be hail
ed with felicity

Would Head Off Government.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The sale
of stock by supposed insiders" of the

in Southern Pacific stock during the

of fear that the government would be
successful in an attempt to dissolve
the Union Pacific Southern Pacific
merger.
The possibility of the government
securing a court order regulating the
voting of Southern Pacific shares now
held by the Union Pacific, which would
throw the control to the remaining
shares, and make it necessary for the
interests in control to have their
hands on sufficient shares to assure
supremacy.
