BRIDGEPORT MAN CLAIMS TO HAVE
 SEEN DIR. COOK
CContinued from Page One.)

Continued from Page One)
 f'He told me that he and his family pie of days to see the Passion Play, and had enjoyed it despite the heavy and constant rain. He said that he was in love with the peace and qu1et of the Tyrol and Bavarian Alps, where he had spent several months. and said he expected to spend quite some time longer in that vicinity.''
 MT. Ryan looked through some pa pers to find a letter from Truman G. Palmer, secretary of the American Beet Sugar Association of Chicago, fort, to see if MT. Palmer mentioned pr. Cook in the communication. Con- tinuing, MT. Ryan said:
 s After I met pr. Cook, I ran into MT. Palmer in the lobby of the hotel and told him of my meeting him Palmer told ne that he and his wife him, but had not spoken to him for obvious reasons. MT. Palmer and l talked over the situation and deter mined to say nothing, because we did not care to bring additional disgrace on Americans. to say nothing Of the notoriety.
 MT Palmer was in a delicate posi- tion. He had entertained pr. Cook when the explorer lectured in Chicago, giving a reception in his honor. Pal mer did not care to intrude upon Cook, yet wanted to chat with him. There is no disguising the fact that we felt rather sorry for the man who had forz feited the respect of the world ana who was in a hotel with many of his countrymen with whom he would have been glad to talk.
 ttI saw pr. Cook the next day, after talking with Palmer, and said to him:
 tDr. Cook, there are some of your old friends here in the hotel, who have entertained you, and they would Ike to have a chat
 his face pa1ed. and then turned to a fiery red. He looked at me keenly, and in a forced attempt at unconcern, replied: A
 < oh, there is no need of disturbing any one. Besides. you know. I am a very, busy man
 That closed the incident Naturz ,z ally. neither the Palmers nor talked with the other American travellers about the identity of MT. Coleman and family
 cealment other than using the name of Coleman.
 ssI am sorry that I did not have the sense to take a snapshot of pr. Cook, laughed MT. Ryan ''but I never thought of it, although I had a cam era. suppose the fact that it rain Aug. .31 to the day left. Sept. ?, and that the camera was in my room, is the reason why I did not get a pie ture of MT. Coleman and family.
 sI had to laugh on my arrival 1h this country to learn that there was ru- nor to the effect that John R. Brad ley and Cook were en route 10 Elaf to recover the doctors records and in struments Cook was in Munich at, the time, but of course the newspapers did not know it.''
 In reply to the direct question, MT. Ryan said:
 ssNo, I did not discuss the discovery of the North Pole with Dr. Cook. It was a most delicate subject. When saw he was restive under by calling him Dr. Cook, I dropped the use of his name, but did not address him as Coleman. He appeared to have plenty of money"

HINTS FOR THE AUToMoB1L1s1

It rarely occurs to the chauffeurs or owner when he is looking over his ear and giving. it a general tun- ing up and oiling, that there are nov ing parts in a speedometer which also require oil and ajustment; the very fact that these little instruments are always on the job, so to speak, and still give so little trouble, causes them to be forgotten or generally neglected f'If the flexible shaft were taken out occasionally and drawn through a lump of hard grease, the kind gener- ally used in the gear set and then replaced, the result would be very beneficial; if the little bevel-gear con nections were cleaned out with gaso- line and a squirt gun and a fresh supply of grease supplied, their life would be greatly increased; and if the driving gears are kept clean and dry, properly adjusted and the shaft to which one of the driving gears is attached, oiled the life and efficiency of the entire instrument will be en- chanced. The removal of the flexible shaft is very simple operation it being only necessary to loosen the nut which holds the tubing to the in strunent, when the shaft connection at that end will disengage itself, then the shaft may be drawn from the tube.

BIG YIELD OF WHEAT.

The worlds yield of wheat this year will be above the average accordin g to the estimates of the Department of Agriculture, which has just issued the following statement on the crop from the worldwide viewpoint:
 F'The world wheat harvest, which at the opening of 1910 was progressing southward in Argentina and Austral- asia, began north of the equator in February. Starting in British India the operations gradually expanded over the magnificent wheat areas of the Northern Hemisphere, until they are now completed, excepting on small of it's culture. The total acreage was doubtless the largest in history. the normal world area, about 2G5, 900 GOO acres, having been heavily increased this year by additional sowings of spring wheat in Russia and Canada. Up to July, when a fair crop had all ready been generated in Argentina and an excellent one in British India the prospect was for world crop heavier than any preceding one but drought that month in the spring wheat belts of North America and Russia and an unpreeedented1y wet, cool summer in France are believed to have resulted in serious losses. When the final figures are made up it will not be surprising to find the total world yield short of high record 6, ,624, ,000 900 bushels) last year; the crop is reasonably certain, however. to go down in history as above the aver age.''

THE WRITING ON
 THE POLITICAL WALL

For nine months after the passage of the Payne-A1drich tariff act the air was filled with indignant clanaor. Congressmen elected to fill the death vacancies were defeated. That was explained as Democratic party agita- tion. Then the Indiana Republican state convention met. Senator Bev- eridge, who had voted against the tariff bill. was 8 candidate for re- nomination as Senator by his party
 The Republican state convention re- fused to endorse the Payne-Aldrich eridge for his vote. The fire was out inside the Republican party Minne- sota held her state Republican con- Yention and refused to endorse the tariff act, and like Indiana comment ded her Republican Senators and Congressmen who voted against the bill South Dakota followed; Nebraska followed South Dakota; Iowa followed 5Nebraska. Kansas Republicans at the primaries defeated four of the six Congressmen who voted for the tariff noupced the bill. Republicans all over the West who voted against the bill in Congress have been sustained up to date at the Republican primaries and conventions, without opposition, and ,Congressmen who voted for the bill have had to fight for their lives in tie party organization. In ten instances these men lost their nonin- ations. The thing called insurgency, which the President tried to choke with statistics, is alive-alive and Interpreter in the October American MaC3Zine.

.BALLINCER COMES BACK
 CONFIDENT

Washington, Sept. 24.-Stepping into his office after his long western so- journ, with all the apparent bIuster and confident good humor of a man sure of his job, Secretary of the In terior Ba1linger today upon his arri- val in Washington. promptly and posi- lively denied stories from Spokane Wash, that he personally had been pushing a big land fraud case against some of Washington's most prominent citizens.
 ttJust another one of those lies,,' he laughfngly remarked when asked to confirm the report.
 Ballinger was most willing to dis cuss parliamentary affairs but look ed upon all talk of his resignation as too much like ancient history to be discussed.
 Most of his time while west. he said, was spent in making a general size-up of the work of the various branches of the interior department He said he did not expect a report from the board of army engineers, ap- pointed by President Taft to report upon the status of the various con servation projects, until the latter part of November. Ballinger said he would plunge into the mass of de- partmenta1 matters that had accunu- lated during his absence and would not be ready for the Presidents cab 1net meeting here next week
