PEARY WITHIN MILE OF POLE,
Skilled Geodetic Surveyor Reviews
Explorers Observations.

Washington, Jan. ~. - The house
committee on naval affairs completed
its examination of Captain Robert E.
Peary on his claim to attainment of
the North pole. Hugh C. Mitchell,
skilled computer of the coast and
geodetlc survey, testified that he ham
died Peary's observations. Mr.. Nit
chel said that he had figured that
Peary when he made his furthermost
camp was less than five miles from
the pole, and that in his marches on
the day of the climax of his trip he
passed within one and one sixteenth
miles of the actual pole
He did not fix Peary actually at the
pole.
Mr.. Mitchell believed that Pearys
observations could not be faxed. The
committee will hear Admiral Chester

at an early executive meeting with a
view to passing ON the bill proposing
Feary's retirement as a rear admiral.

COAL DOCKS UNDER FIRE
Thorough Investigation in Interest of
Life and Limb.

Superior,-Superior coal docks and
as examples which the socialists are
to hold up as arguments in favor of
new laws for the benefit Of the working
man. The local branch of the party
has decided to make thorough in
vestigation into the condition of the
docks in regard to safety appliances.
1t is said that there is plenty of evil
dence to show that stringent laws are
needed to protect life and limb.
There have been many fatal acct
dents on the coal docks and many 9TH
ers that have resulted in permanent
injury. Since the installment of cleo
trio machinery the danger has increas-
ed and it is contended the state laws
and system of inspection are made
quate for the needs.
Big verdicts have resulted in sever
al cases where men have been MAIN
ed for life on coal docks here, two Of
these being among the largest ver-
diets ever secured for personal in
jury in the state. The Dell See case
which resulted in $4,000 and j. ].
Monaghan case which resulted in
verdict of $4,000 are the ones referred
to. Both went to the higher court
and were sustained, the defendants
getting a cash settlement.
In these intances, however, the de-
PENDANTS did not suffer such loss on
account of costly litigation, the attor-
ney's fees, after being paid, leaving
balance of over 60 pc" cent for the in
jured men. 1t is the contention of the
socialists, however, that the average
OF the cases, even where serious in
jury is done, leaves the litigent but
little for his injuries and it is believ-
ed that such strong case can be
made that stringent legislation will
be forthcoming.

| TOWING TRUST UNDER PROBE
STORY OF DISSOLUTION OF INDIE.
PENDENT LINE TOLD.
"Clubbing" Methods Ascribed to Great
Lakes Co., Will Be
Denied.

Duluth, Jan. 1.-THE zone of the
is alleged to be the towing trust" the
the Great Lakes company in 1902, in
shifted to Duluth when the taking of
testimony was begun before Special
Examiner Bertrand c. Miller of Cleve-
land.
The story of the dissolution of the
Independent Towing line, which
operated on the lakes in two seasons,
1902 and 1903, xr-s told by Joseph
Place. who was the head of the indie
endent lire in Duluth, and who is
Nv an engineer On the steamer
Jorge w. Peavey The Independent
was organized by Place, Louis
.utenschlager of Buffalo, Sweeney
Cleveland, Sullivan of Chicago and
Ter men in other ports.
Place said that when Lauten-
llager sold out to the Great Lakes
wing company and went into the
plcy of that company, the Inde-
ldent line died for lack Of busi,
IS. The Tom Bowling, one OF the
IS, owned in Duluth, was sold, but
J. B. Merrill and A. A. Carpenter
lid not be sold and were sunk.
The questions of the government
,orneys were evidently intended to
tablish that the Union Towing and
rocking company, a subsidiary of
Great Lakes Company, has a
onopoly on the vessel towing in the
,rt Of Duluth.
Paralysis Followed Strike.
Tug owners were examined and the
'vernment established that during
strike which tied up the tugs Of
Great Lakes company in 1902, in
pendent owners were able to get
lsiness, but as soon as the strike
as called off, the Independent own
were forced out again.
The Maytham company, which oper-
ed tugs on the Great Lakes several
ars ago, is alleged to have been
lshed by clubbing methods OF
part of the Great Lakes company
10 Independent Tug Line was put
uut of business by inducing Lauten-
schlager to sell out, it is alleged.
Favors have been given in the way
of rebates, Witness John Place de-
clared, to companies which have en-
ployed Great Lakes tugs in vessel
towing and day wrecking for whole
seasons without employing other tugs.
The Great Lakes company will set up
the claim that in building up it's big
towing and wrecking business it has
used only lawful means; that the
superior facilities Of the company for
handling towing business and the in
ferior facilities of the Independents
have forced the latter out and not
by any clubbing" Or other unlawful
actions on the part of the Great Lakes
company or it's officers. The attor-
neys for the Great Lakes company
asked many questions relative to the
power and size of the Independent
tugs.
1t is expected that testimony will
be taken in Buffalo, Milwaukee, Chi
cago and probably other ports before
the case will be submitted to the
court

ISAAC STEPHENSON.

United States Senator from Wisconsin,
the statute which requires an account
under oath of campaign expenditures
to be filed and that such violation was
premeditated.
That he violated the law which pro-
hibits any one from contributing
money to assist candidate for the
legislature residing outside of the dis
trict in which the contributor resides.
That the civil service law of this
state was violated when he caused to
be paid money which the evidence
shows was paid to State Game Warden
Stone and L. B. Dresser, then presi-
dent of the board of control.
That he gave a sum Of money to
a supporter of McGovern for United
States senator, such supporter after
wards switching to Stephenson, and
that he paid large sums of money to
others which afterward was used by
them to induce other persons to assist
in procuring his election.
con the whole record therefore" the
report states, Senator Stephenson is
charged with knowledge of the man.
ner in which his campaign was being
conducted and the purposes for which
money was being disbursed.
''The failure to keep Or require &C.
counts and the practice of destroying
original memoranda by those engaged
in disbursing Steuphenson's funds in
the campaign, makes it clear there
was generalization and method on the
part of Stephenson and his managers
to cover up their methods of conduct
ing the campaign.
THAT he approved of these meth
DDS cannot be doubted. Those man
ayers in plain violation of law gave
considerable sums to Levi H. Ban
croft, c. c. Wellsgard, Thomas Rey-
nolds, John Mulder, e. A. Everett and
w. L.. Smith, who then were candidates
for nomination to the assembly.
"A large part of money distributed
in the Stephenson campaign, proba-
bly, a sum in excess Of $4,000, was
used by Stephenson managers to I'M
lawfully and corruptly procure the
uOulludtlOH dlu c1CCIlOu VI Isaac oLC-
phenson to the United States senate
Further, Isaac Stephenson was
elected by the legislature to the United
States senate by majority of three
votes while the charges of corruption
against him were being investigated
by the legislature.
"The findings of the committee are
that the nomination in the primary
and the election to the United States
senate by the legislature of Isaac
Stephenson of Wisconsin is null and
void on account of attempted bribery
and corrupt practices by himself and
by his campaign managers, agents and
workers and of violations of the laws
of Wisconsin defining and furnishing
offenses against the elective fran
chises.
1.-THE committee recommends that
copy of this report be certified to the
United States senate by the governor
and the legislature with the request
that the body investigate the manner
and means by and through which Isaac
Stephenson secured his election to the
United States senate for it's action
thereon"
