MILLION TO HELP COOK,

New York, n. Y. - Captain B. F.
Osbon of the Attic club announces that
he had received letters from million
aires offering backing to the extent of
more than $1,000, 900 for DIR. Frederick
A.. Cook to prove his claim that he
and not Commander Peary discovered
the North Pole.
Captain Osbon said that DR.. Cook
had received many offers to take the
lecture platform and hat he would
take up both matters with the explorer
when he reaches New York. DR.. Cook
is expected here within three weeks.
THE report that DR.. Cook is coming
to establish himself at a big hotel is
nonsense" said Captain Osbon. He
does not want any publicity until he
has convinced the world of the wrong
that has been done him.
This offer of a million dollars puts
us in a position to establish the truth
of his claims without a doubt. We
have been negotiating with some OF
the scientists in the world and several
of these will be retained. We have
learned already that on the day that
Peary says he reached the pole and
took observation from the sun, there
was not enough III to make ii pos
sible.
II am not at liberty to say where
DR.. Cook is now. He is in North
America but not in the United States
and he will be here in three weeks.
He will come in quietly and live quiet
ly. He has received an enormous
guarantee to go On the lecture plat
form, but l do not know whether he
will accept the proposition

ROSY COLOR
Produced by Postum.

when a person rises from each
meal with a ringing in the ears and a
general sense of nervousness, it is
a common habit to charge it to a de-
ranged stomach.
II found it was caused from drink
ing coffee, which | never suspected for
a long time, but found by leaving off
coffee hat the disagreeable feelings
went away.
Il was brought to think of the sub
ject by getting some Postum and this
brought me out of trouble.
1T is a most %appetizing and invig-
Grating beverage and has been of
such great benefit to me that | natu-

"A lady friend complained to me
that she had tried Postum, but it did
not taste good. In reply to my ques-
ton she said she guessed she boiled it
about ten minutes. | advised her to
follow directions and know that she
boiled 1t fifteen or twenty minutes, and
she would have something worth talk
ing about. A short time ago | heard
one OF her children say that they were
drinking Postum nowadays, so l

Mr.. Roosevelt reached Rome, at the
friends here, who believed that in the
meantime the Vatican might change
its attitude. One Of the former preSi-
dents American friends, who had been
with him in Egypt, same to Rome Sat
urday without, however, any authority
from Mr.. Roosevelt, and lnterceded
with Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal
secretary, in al endeavor to avoid a
situation which as it now stands, has
caused a sensation in Rome, although
it was not entirely unexpected. But
these efforts were unavailing.
While at Gondokoro in February last
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote to Ambassador
Leishman saying that he would be glad
of the honor of an audience with King
Victor Emmanuel and the pope.

The audience with the king was
promptly arranged. Before an ar

to an audience with the pope several
kilograms were passed, and the nego-
tiations were ended by Mr.. Roosevelt
refusing in any way to be limited as
TO his conduct, and announcing that
any audience with the pope under the
circumstances was impossible.

Say Twin Cities Benefited.

They claimed that the rates charged
by carriers operating between tho At.
lantic seaboard, which includes cities
east of Pittsburg and north of the Po-
tomac and Missouri river cities, were
unjust, unreasonable and discrimina-
tory.
1t was particularly specified that the
rates Disseminated in favor of st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Finally the
commission disposed of the case by
ordering a reduction of the charges
for transportation from the Mississippi
river crossings to the Missouri river
cities as a part of the through rate.
The commission denied that the
rates Disseminated in favor of the
Twin Cities. Before the rates went
into effect the controversy was taken
into the courts by the railroads. The
result was hat the circuit court of
the United States for the northern
district of Illinois held the order I'M
lawful and beyond the power OF the
commission because the mandate was
the exercise of authority not specif-
ically granted by the act to regulate
commerce and resulted in artificially
apportioning the country into one
tributary to given trade centers.
One appeal by the commission and
another by Missouri river shippers
were taken to the supreme court. AS
the fight had progressed, additional
parties had entered the fray. Kansas

interviewed to fight for the order.

Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland
and Milwaukee shippers Joined with
the railroads to oppose the reduction.

the bitter end.

Whole Fabric of Freight Tariffs Is
involved In the Action Originally
Started by Kansas
City.

freight rate night since the passage OF
the Hepburn rate bill entered the fin,
al stages, when the government filed
in the supreme court of the United
States a brief in the so-called Missouri
river rate case. The contest involves
the interests of manufacturers, job
bers, merchants and railroads from
the Atlantic seaboard to the Rocky
mountains.
The two cases which have attracted
the most attention are those concern
ing the class rates on through ship
ment originating at Atlantic seaboard
points and destined to Missouri river
cities. The third case involved the
class rates from Chicago and from
st. Louis to Denver.
The first two cases arise out of an
order issued by the interstate com
merce commission to become effective
Nov. 10, 1908. This order directed a
reduction OF the rates for the trans
portation of various classes of freight,
originating at Atlantic seaboard
points. from Mississippi river cross
ings to the Missouri river cities.
The order was the result of COM
plants filed with the commission by

viduals, partnerships and corporations

Injunction Regulation.

Washington. June 3.-But for the
fact that Senator Overman, of North
Carolina, succeeded in having the
senate incorporate in the railroad
bill a provision regulating injunction
proceedings affecting state laws. the
senate probably would have voted on
the railroad bill before adjournment
yesterday.
The acceptance of that provision
haa the effect of inclining some
Democratic side of the chamber to
request an opportunity for coDsulta-
.tion before reaching the voting stage
OF the final passage. Accordingly
the vote was postponed to permit a
Democratic conference.
After this agreement was reached

effort to get the senate to agree def
nitely to vote on the bill before ad-
journment today. but without sue
