COOK TALKS AGAIN..
Will Emerge From Retirement Armed
With Additional Proof.

New York, Nov. 9.-That DR.. Fred
erick A. zoe has finally decided to
emerge from his retreat and press his
claim as to the real discoverer Of the
north pole, was learned today when
Capt. 3. S. Osborn, oHe of his closest
friends, received a letter stating that
he is finally about ready to prove his
case" The latter was dated London,
England, Oct. 16, and in it DR.. Cook
said that he has almost completed all
of his letters and original data for SUBJ
mission to the scientific societies.
In discussing the Rasmussen report
from Greenland, that Rasmussen had
interviewed Cook and Peary Eskimos
and had concluded that neither Cook
nor Peary reached a point within 100
miles Of the pole, Capt. Osborn said
today:> "Cf course, there can be nc
question that those hardy natives OF
the north are capable Of making as
Economical observations, and did make
them, and thus can positively say
how far north both Cook and Peary
Wen In DR.. Cooks letter to me he
says: My case will eventually rest
on it's own merits, without reference
to rival interests
"NVhen the data and maps Of DR..
Cook are compiled and published, as
they will be very soon, they will con
vince the world that DR.. Frederick
A. Cook was the first and only dis
coverer Of the North Pole.
DIR. Cook is not in the least dis
turbed by the yarns handed out from
time to time di%screditing the claims
which he will give to the world at
large in the very near future.

Taft Takes !. Hard.

Washington, D. C, Nov 9.-Feeling
keenly the blows dealt by the voters
to the great political party of which he
is the head, President Taft returned
to Washington this morning from Gin
cinnati where he cast his ballot in the
lost cause. He had no comment to
make upon the result and went di-
rectly to the white house, where it was
stated that he probably would not
break his silence concerning political
affairs until after his return from Pan
ANA whittier he starts tomorrow.
Disappointed as is the president at
the loss of the house Of representative 5
to the democrats. his political advisers
are pinning their hopes to the fact
that the three months session Of the
republican majority to both branches
of congress is about to begin. 1t is
known that into that brief period the
administration intends to crowd as
much OF its legislative programme as
there seems to be the remotest chance
of enactment.

Historic Scottish Town.,

The town of Dunfermline is famous
among other things for having been
the birthplace Of DR.. Andrew Carne-
gle, to give the multimillionaire his
Scottish title. Seeking to add to it's
fame the town invited Mr.. Roosevelt
to pay it a visit. Since the institution
by Mr.. Carnegie of the American and
British hero fund the relationship be-
tween Dunfermline and the United
States has become closer. inasmuch
as Mr.. Carnegie's birthplace has pro.
vided the trustees and it is the center
from which the awards are made.
Moreover, the United States supplies
the principal outlet for the staple in
dustry of Dunfermline. But for Amer.
ica's custom in Dunfermline damask
productions more than half the looms
of the town would be standing idle.

fORBIDS UNLICENSED men.
Mayor Gaynor Issues Order Prohibit

ing Express Wagons-Strike
Imminent.

New York, Nov. 10.-The .DssibIli-
ties of a clash today between state and
federal authorities over the express
strike complications intensified the in
te,cst in all developments of the war
fare between the men and the COM
panies. A hint Of state arbitration
was the only peace note sounded.
Seizure un'ler Mayor Gaynor's gu
thority Of all express company wagons
driven by unlicensed drivers offered an
opening Of which it was believed the
companies would speedily take advan-
tage to bring the matter to a head.
1t was intimated that a process of in
junction would be invoked by them to
prevent further seizures.
1t has been held that express drivers
must be licensed. and applications for
licenses for several hundred strike
breakers have been held up because,
1t is declared, there has heen a gen
eral failure on the part e the indi-
Vlduals given as reference to come
orWa and vouch tor the suitability
of the applicants. Practically all IL
censed drivers Of the companies are
on strike, and a nearly complete cessa-
ton of traffic will be caused if the
city enforces the policy of selling I'M
licensed wagons. 1t looked today as
If a crisis in the strike were at hand.
Besides nearly 10000 drivers and
helpers of express companies and de-
livery concerns, between 1000 and s.
600 taXicab drivers are on strike. The
express business is virtually at a
~standstill. No discrimination against
the union is insisted upon by the s;-ik-
erS ana the latter declare their efforts
to secure arbitration have been baked
by the refusal of the companies to
negotiate with them on this basis.
A general strike of tealnsters in
sympathy with the men now out is
still imminent, but there seemed to be
q disposition to wait today's develop
ments and the possibility of those to-
morrow before taking steps toward

Cruger Family

By ELEANOR LEXINGTON

The Cruger family, as the name
shows, dates back to the time of the
Crusades, Cruger was originally Cru
ciger. and was the Medieval Latin
word for cross-bearer, from the words
"crux." a cross, and 'gere," carry.
From Cruciger the name became
Creuziger and Creutzinger, and final
ly Cruger, and in Germany and Hol-
land, Kruger.
The name was first given to a
knight in one Of the Crusadcs, at the
end Of the eleventh century, and
from him the family spread through
out Germany, Holland, Denmark and
England. One Casper Crucigar. a
German, helped Luther translate the
Bible in 1882. In 1880 Sir Philip de
Crucuger went with Richard l. of
England on the third crusade to
Palestine. Sir Philip is supposed to

have descended from the German
baronial house of Won Cruger or Kru-
ger. and from him the line is unbro-
ken down to John Cruger, the
founder of the American family.
About 1900 this John Cruger, an
E%nglishman Of good education, ap-
pearance and standing, came to New
York. He went into business and
also into politics.; in 1912 he was made
alderman, and for % consecutive
years he held this office. Five years
after giving it up, in 1889, he was
made mayor, and continued in this
capacity until his death in 1744. He
is spoken of as a man of tact and dis
erection. In those days it was very
difficult for a mayor to keep peace
between the people on the one side,
who were jealous of their rights, and
the governor on the other, who was
jealous Of the kings rights. But
Cruger seems to have accomplished
this task.
In 1902 he married Maria, daughter
of Hendrick Cuyler of Albany. They
had five daughters, Anna, Maria, Sa-
rah, another Maria, for the first died
Of smallpox, and Rachel; and three
sons, Tileman, Henry and John. Tile
man went to Curacao, and returned
home to die when he was twenty-five;
John died unmarried; from Henry the
American Crugers all descend. Like
his father he vas interested in poll
tics in New York. He was twice mar
ried, and had six children. He died
in England at the home of one of his
children, and was buried there at the
Cathedral of Bristol.
Although John left no descendants,
he is by far the most interesting of
his generation. He showed unusual
ability ever as a child. From 1854
to 1855 he was alderman and from
1855 to 1865 he was mayor. He was
the first speaker and president of the
first colonial assembly, and he was a
member of that body for II years,
from 1859 to 1875. He wrote the ia.
nous Declaration Of Rights and
Grievances" adopted by the Stamp
Act congress in 1865, the first notable
piece of political writing in our his
tory. and said to be thC model on
which Jefferson based the Declaration
of independence. He also started the
movement which led to the establish
ment, 1868, of the New York chamber
Of commerce, modelled on the English
board of trade. and the first mercan-
tile society established in America.
He died in 1891.
The most interesting member of the
next generation is also the one who
left no heirs. His name was John
Harris Cruger, and he married Anne.

cey of New York and the British
army. When war was threatened De

manded Fort Ninety-Six in South
Carolina when it was attacked, and
he forced the American general, Ma.
thaniel Greene, to raise the siege.
After the war he vent to England,
n died there.
Two of Johns brothers, Tileman and
Nicholas, were West India merchants.
Nicholas became a prosperous business
man at Santa Cruz, and one of the
clerks In his counting house was AL
exander Hamilton. Nicholas Cruger
took an interest in the boy and helped
MN with advice and encouragement.
Nicholas was also a great friend of
washington, and when hostilities
broke out, sided, in spirit, with the
colonle But he did not fight, and
on one occasion he was glad to rely
on his brother Johns renown as a
loyal British subject.
Nicholas was with one of his boats
on the way to Santa Cruz when a
British man-of-war captured him. The
captain asked his name, and on learn

might be related to Lieutenant Colo
mel Cruger. When 4 found that the
two men were brot ~, the captain
told Nicholas that he was bearing
messages to the British government
reporting on Cruger's good work. So
he let Nicholas go. He was captured
again. however, this time with an in
eliminating portrait of Washington
in his possession, and he was recon-
mended for severe punishment. But
he was freed on parole, and lived
comfortably enough with relatives at
New York until after the war.
Johns other brother, Henry, mar
ried twice in England, where his ia
Their sent him to wtra in a counting
house His first wife was named
Peach, and their son charged his
name from Samuel Peach Cruger to
Samuel Peach Peach, and his daugh-
ter married Lord John Murray Of
Aynsley. BY his second wife Henry
had six children, who eventually re-
turned with him to this cou.rry. He
stayed in England until 1890, and had
a prosperous career there. In liza
he and Edmund Burke, famous as the
author of the speech on the %concilia-
ton with America, ran for parliament,
and after a heated campaign were
elected. This gave Henry the name
of Henry M. p" This is a sample of
the campaign literature" of those
days:
You good Bristol folk, an elections
no joke,
But serious indeed is the work;

In 1890 Cruger refused reelection
to parliament and returned home. He
was a member of the New York state
senate in 1892.

Cruger al brevetted for %gallantry
in the Civil war. He was in Europe
when hostilities broke out, but he hur-
ried home and went to the front. He
was terribly wounded at Resaca, and
was honorably discharged. AS soon

made by a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived

distance from any village. Hearing
that the Rey. Mr. Goodwin was to
preach in township some twenty
miles distant. she resolved to be pres
ent, and as no other way offered, she
walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this and was
so pleased at the appreciation which
1t showed that at the close of the SER
mon he mentioned the fact to the con-
gregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs
to tefi them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the
audience with great solemnity, and
said:

STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES
Reductions Made In Europe and the
Far East in Campaign to In
srease Use of Kerosene.

New York;. l. c. Clarke. through
whom the Standard Oil company
makes it's official announcements to
The public, has issued statement to
he effect that the company has en-
erred on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption
Of kerosene in European countries and
the lands of the Orient. The first
move in this campaign is the reduc-
ton of the prices of oil in those cous-
tries. Mr.. Clarke's announcement says
in part
"The Standard Oil company has in
augurated a campaign to increase the
worlds consumption of refined OIL
The level of prices for refined oil to-
day in the United States is lower than
at any time during recent years, and
as direct result of these prices the
consumption of refined oil in this
country is increasing. The same pol
icy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
AS indicated by this statement, the
Standard company began trying out
the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view cam
0aign that would cover the world. In
August the price of refined oil in
tanks was reduced from 612 to 51a
cents a gallon, and the price of re-
fined oil in barrels at the Tt..nery was
cut cent, from 81 to 81 cents a
gallon.
