posed Rate Increases Continues.
Washington, Nov. 30.-In reply to
the offer of several Western railroads
to employ him at his own salary if
he could show them, as he said he
could, how American railroads could
save $1,000,000 a day, Louis d. Bran
deis of Boston telegraphed that with
out any charge 20 them he would be
glad to meet and point out to con-
ference or conferences of Eastern and
Western railroad presidents how such
saving could be effected.
Mr.. Brandeis is here representing
shipping organizations in the freight
rate increase hearing being conducted
before the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Charles G.. Mccain of New York
city, chairman of the Trunk Line as
sociation, was examined before the
commission regarding the publication
by the association of pamphlet en-
titled "The Diminished Purchasing
Power of Railroad Earnings"
He said he had distributed 23,509
copies of this book at cost of $S,003.
The purpose of the pamphlet, he said,
was to assert need for readjustment
and increase of rates.
Railroad Industry Threatened.
It declared tnat. there had been
"since 1897 a great reduction in rail-
way freight rates, which has gone so
far as to endanger the maintenance
of the present level of railway wages
and to threaten the stability of the
whole railway industry and all allied
industries
E. K. Williamson Of Cincinnati,
freight commissioner for the CONNER
cial organizations of that city, was
recalled and examined regarding the
figures he had studied and analyzed
concerning the Erie and other rail
roads.
He had severely criticised the Erie
for overcapitali2ation and the exam
ination by counsel for the road was
to bring out that the situation on the
road was far different than that in
the years past which the witness had
dwelt upon.
He said the Erie was handicapped
with fixed charge per mile of $4,000
more than the Baltimore and Ohio
and the latter had surplus from the
present level of rates.

DAVID B. cRocKERs's DEMISE

In the death of D. B. Crocker the state of Washing
ton oeses one Of its most astute business and
tany OF its most sagacious politicians. There is
no denying the fact that Dave Crocker was one of the
best political manipuators that ever operated in the
Northwest and while he had unlimited coin behind
him which to operate yet it takes general of gen
erals to operate with money, because he has
danger from within than from without owing to
the grafters in his own camp. He has fought num-
ber of hard political battles in the state and he has
been damned by great many men, not so much be-
cause Crocker had done anything real bad, but be-
cause he had beaten them. The SEATTLE REPUBLT-
CAN was always on the opposite side of the political
fence to Crocker but it always found him that
the square and recognized ability whether it
was in friend or foe He seemed to have been
in politics for the love of leadership than for
what he got out of it. To be sure he lost nothing in
the game he successfully played because the other
fellow paid the bills, except vast amount of time and
often world of worry. He once aspred to the gov
ernorshp of the state and the general belief is that he
hoped to be nominated and elected for the per-
fecton of the political machine that he
deavorng to build up in the state than for the honor
for himself. He made his last fight for Levi Ankeny
two yeara ago when he went to defeat before the
Jones forces and since then has been looked upon as
''has BEEN" Despite the fact that he was always
tied up in the political game he managed to make
number of business investments which turned out
well for him and he died worth half million dollars.
He was loyal to his friends and who worked un
der his directions ever had cause to regret it, though
there often times rebellion in his ranks on
occount of differences of opinions. His remains
laid to rest last Tuesday at Tacoma, where he has
sided for the past years. and hundreds of his form
friends and political associates dropped tear of
gret over his bier.

KING REWARDS BURIAL CEREMONIES

Death always saddens the home and throws gloom
on the community in which the deceased lived, and
the day of burial is of mourning there
abouts, whether the deceased before departing
reported favorably the new home or not The bur-
ia of King Edward, however, seems to be the long
waited for opportunity for oyalty to show itself off to
the best advantage At the funeaal ceremonies today
the royal blood of Europe has assembled and each is
attempting to out dazzle the other Its gorgeous
display of frock and fnery and precious little of any
real mourning The multiplied thousands of poor peo-
pie stand with open mouths the royal bloods par
ade by and go home and curse themselves because
they could not do likewise. King Edward was doubt
less an ideal ruler but it would have been more in
keeping with the spirit of the present age to have SIM
plifed his funeral ceremonies These royalsts con-
tended for positions in the funeral procession and in
sisted that nothing but royaist appear horseback
What fools we mortas be. All this pomp and display
at the expense of the people is but fastening
the complete overthrow of royaldom the world oyer.

IOWA LOSES IN POPULATION
Returns-Result Is No Surprise
to Officials.

Washington. The population of
Iowa is 2,224,771, according to the
enumeration in the thirteenth CEN
sus. This is a do crease of 1852, or
0.3 per cent, under 2,231 1853 In 1900.
The increase from 1890 to 1900 was
1852, or 1877 per cent.
The decrease dla not surprise cen
sus burea officials. as 1t was in line
with what was expected in the agri
cultural regions of the middle west.
Unless the present basis Of appor-
tionment is retained it is probable
that Iowa will lose one of her II
members of congress.
Director Durand attributes the fall
ing off to the fact that the land al
ready is fully occupied and a gen.
eral tendency toward larger farms.
He says a growth cannot be expected
unless there is change to more In

POLE NOT REACHED?
EXPLORER RASMUSSEN ASSERTS
CLAIMS OF COOK AND
PEARY ARE FALSE.
SENDS HOME SECRET REPORT
Interviews with Eskimos, Dane De-
cIares, SuDstantiate His Opinion
That No Living Person Has Pene-
trated Northernmost Artic Region.

Copenhagen. NO living explor-
er or Eskimo has ever reached the
north pole and the claims Of Peary
and Cook have not shadow of truth
to sustain them"
This is the startling conclusion
reached by Knud Rasmussen, say
missionaries to Greenland, who have
returned here. The missionaries, who
are deemed religious and reliable, say
too that they bring details OF Ras-
mussen's cross-examination of the
two Eskimos, Ahswelah and Eturis-
hulk, upon whose testimony Doctor
Cook relied for confederation of his
claim that he reached the north pole.
After closely questioning these two
and other Eskimos, Rasmussen is alb
solutely certain that the pole is still
unconquered. Rasmussen, an expert
enced arctic explorer, is the Danish
inspector of Greenland. His mother
was an Eskimo, his father a Dane.
A telegram from it's Copenhagen
correspondent to the London Daily
News states that the ship which took
Rasmussen to Cape York last sum-
mer has returned to Copenhagen. Her
captain brings secret report to
friend of Rasmussen concerning
Doctor Cooks Eskimos, whom Ras-
mussen interviewed. The captain
says the report will explain the
whole Cook affair.
