DR.. COOK HAS SOME FRIENDS
BattIed for Him on Steamship
George Washington With Defamers
Were His Fellow Passengers.

New York, Dec. 24.-By far the
most interesting part of the arrival
of DR.. Frederick A. Cook on the
steamer George Washington was the
attitude of the ships passengers to-
ward their fellow voyager and near
polar hero The doctor was calm and
said very little. But the passengers
almost fought among themselves to
make excuses or denunciations for
Peary's rival. An argument which
evidently had been growing on the
way over, broke as the reporters
came on board. And there was moth
ing listless about that argument,

with no shadow of discrimination by

Deprived of Vote for Five Years.

West Union, O., Dec. 26.--The grand
jury returned 100 additional indict-
ments against people in this county,
who are charged with having either
sold their votes at the recent con
gressional election or having aided
those who were buying them. This
makes a total of S33 indictments in
Adams county for this crime, all OF
which have been returned within a
very few hours. The clerks and Judge
A. a. Blair have been busy in receiv-
ing the pleas of guilty, from those
who were indicted and with collect
ing their fines. These have run from
$40 to $40 a vote.
Republicans and Democrats are
equally guilty, and as many men said
to the court that they were guilty OF
accepting brides to vote the Republi-
can ticket as those who confessed to
criminal charges on the Democratic
side. These indictments which were
from a special grand jury, covered
the two cities of Manchester and
PEBBLES Judge Blair has said that
he will cover every nook and corner
Of the county, and more than 1000
indictments are looked to come from
the jury before its sessions are over.
1t has been known for the last 30
or 35 years that Adams county has
been purchasable by the party which
would put up the money necessary
for this. Incidentally, each party has
spent large sums of money every
election in this county, the last one
costing more than $4,000 This in
cludes only the money that has been
told of before this special grand jury.
1t is said by reliably informed poll
ticians that fully $4,000 has been
used In this county in every cam
paign for the Ohio governorship.
Each one of the 800 men who already
have pleaded guilty to accepting
money for their votes or giving
money for votes either has been fined
or released on bond for trial. The
sentence of the court has been a fine
of s25 and costs, with jail sentence
OF six months Imprisonment and a
loss of the right to vote for five years.

Fertlfcations, Question of Tolls and

20 be covered-Senator Flint Con-
sultsd--stin Fight Looked For.

washington. Dec 24.-President
Taft has decided on determined
effort TO secure from congress before
its final adjournment the legislation
necessary to meet the conditions that
will arise upon the completion OF
the Panama canal To this end Sena-
tor Flint chairman Of the senate com
mittee on interoceanic canals has
been called into conference and during
the holidays comprehensive plane
will be arranged that later will be
put into the form of bill and pressed
TO passage.
In addition to the matter OF forti.
flying the canal. 1t is desired to ar
range In advance the question of tolls
for the canal. the plan of government
of the canal zone and to forestall cor
poration efforts which may negative
the commercial benefits which 1t is
hoped to secure from the opening of
the great waterway.
With regard to the latter Senator
Flint has already introduced a bill
making 1t unlawful for any railroad
or other common carrier subject to
the Interstate commerce law to own
or control or have any interest what
ever in any steamship line passing
through the canal. This is in accord
with suggestion In the presidents
annual message and it is intended to
prevent the railroads from securing
a manapoly OF the carrying trade
through the canal that would enable
them to maintain rates at a high level
satisfactory to the transcontinental
railroads.
Past experience has proved that by
an absorption of the control OF the
coastwise steamers plying between
Atlantic and Pacific ports and the
isthmus the railroads have been able
70 prevent shippers from enjoying the
economy of transportation that was
afforded by the Panama canal rail
road.
A stiff fight is expected from the
railroad to any measure looking to a
cheapening of transportation rates
when the canal Is finally opened and
opposition to this particular bill of
Senator Flint is already being or
gained

JAPs BOSS ISLANDS
ARMY OFFICERS TALK OF coNDi-
TIONS IN PHILIPPINE
ISLANDS.
JAPANESE OFFICE SANK DRY DOCK
Knowing Ones Say orientals Could
Take Our Eastern Islands at Any
Time--Maintain Navy Nearer to Our
Shores Than Law Permits.


New York, Dec. 26.--Army officers
recently returned from the Philippines
of whom there are many in this city
are deeply concerned over conditions
in the islands and maintain that II
was on information furnished BY
them and contained in letters recent
ly received in this country from men
in close touch with affairs in the East
that Secretary of War Dickinson and
Gen. Leonard Wood based much in
their recent reports to congress on the
unpreparedness of the country for
war.
Much of what these officers have
been saying among themselves and
friends who can be depended upon not
to betray them is borne out by letters
recently received from the Philip
pines and which have been quietly
circulated in quarters where it was
felt the news they contain might re
suit in some effective measures to
check the evils which it is alleged
the United States authorities have
been cognizant of but which they
have not taken steps to prevent.
In brief the charges are that the
Japanese are In absolute control OF
the Philippines and that they will
have little or no difficulty in taking
over the islands whenever they are
ready to move.
Officers of the army who are con.
cerned over this situation make NO
pretense that Japanese war ever
could result in a successful invasion
of this country. They do maintain
however, that the Japanese can take
over our possessions in the West
whenever they want to; that right
under the noses of American officials
they have perfected their prepare
tons and that 1t is time the American
people were informed of the situation.
1t is declared by responsible Off
GERS of the United States army both
in person and by letter that Japan de-
liberately sunk the great dry dock
Dewey in Subig bay and that this
fact is known in official circles. 1t is
also said that government officials in
Philippines know the name of the
Japanese officer who did this job and
are dared any action.
1t is charged that within year a
fully equipped wireless station ope--
rated by Japanese and commanded
by Japanese colonel was discover
ed by accident in northern Luzon and
that there is reason to believe that
other stations have been established
by the Japanese. In this connection
1t is charged that the greatest efforts
were made to prevent this discovery
from becoming public and the few
army officers who knew it all the time
were fearful of what would happen
to them If they revealed the news.
An army officer of standing made a
statement that there was even now a
Japanese fleet nearer to the Philip.

PINKERToN HITS REPORTER
Head of Detective Agency Objects to
Newsqatherer's Presence.

New York, Nov. 1.-The Pinkerton
police wound up their part of the Bel
mont park meet with a truly melo-
dramatic climax quite in keeping with
their general conduct throughout the
tournament. 1t came Immediately after
Grahame-White's spill and reused the
aviators and all who saw it to bitter
protest.
When an automobile started to jump
into the field a reporter who had been
asked by the newspaper men to repre-
sent them and to learn for them the
extent of the mishap sprang on the
step of the machine. Allan Pinkerton,
who was in charge Of the Pinkerton
detectives and who was in the ma
chine, tried to push this man on the
step while the machine was moving.
He did not succeed.
Pinkerton promptly struck the re-
porter in the face. Immediately the
one assaulted retaliated. Whereupon
Clovis Ii. Duhain, assistant superin-
tendent Of the Pinkertons', and several
Pinkerton men jumped on the man
who had struck their chief and began
to throttle him.
GrahameWhite, Radley, Harmon
and others interfered in behalf of the
reporter, and later the aviators who
had witnessed the incident Joined in
a protest against the action of Pinker
ton and his men to the officers of the
tournament in the judges stand.
Last week three Pinkerton men were
involved in an attack upon photogra
pher, whom they accused of stepping
beyond the police lines. After being
roughly handled by the three "spe
cials" the man was stripped of his
badge and pitched out of the grounds
