What Mr.. Harbaugh Says.

1T appears that Brookland, as well as
Tacoma Park, has a problem to be work
ed out, by either parents or police, the
spirit of the wild west having also seiz-
ed some of the juveniles Of the first
mentioned suburb Mr.. Harbaugh says.
Reference is made to the harmless pas
time of tying children up and deserving
them. and to the still more innocent di-
version OF threatening them with fire.
1T seems that Brookland's young des-
peradoes-boys fourteen to sixteen years
of age, some of them-go about the
streets armed with ropes. On seeing a
smaller bOy-it Is always smaller child
they lasso him, drag him to lamp
post or a tree box and truss him up in
him to various indignities they leave him
to be released by some passerby: or, if
they happen to thirst for greater excite
ment, build a fire to windward of the
victim and give him a lesson in smoking

OLD DR. COOK
 HITS TRAIL OF
 FRIEND PEARY
Makes Sensational Charges to National Federation of
 Geographical Societies. Again Claims That He Dis covered Pole-Article in Hampton's Magazine Doc tOred.
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Sept. 2ASensationa1 charges against Rear Admiral Robert P. Peary and a reiteration that he, and not Peary, discovered the North Pole, were made, today, by Dr. Fred erick Cook, to the National Federation of Geographical societies. When that body meets in Rome in Mid-October, it will be asked to name a committee to consider the entire matter. Cook declares that he can now prove his case with all of his missing docu- ments, which he left in the Arctic with Harry Whitney, and claims that he is prepared to demonstrate abso- lutely that he did all he could in the way of exploring the frozen north.
 ''I include in my proofs my conn plete study of the meteorological phenomena, my observation of the singular stability and uniformity of the thermometer and barometer and a detailed account of my shadow ob- servations. I gave eight polar alti- with the sun at 12 degrees above the horizon.
 '1 beg to call your attention to the fact that at the time MT. Peary said he took observations at the Pole the altitude of the sun was less than sev- en degrees above the horizon. Diffi- cult as it is to take observations at 12 degrees, because of refracted light any accurate observation at seven Ge- grees is well nigh impossible. Yet MT. Pearys case rests on this point"
 Cook explains that he did not pro- duce his proofs when originally chal- lenged by Peary because he could not do so. He insists that he did not send all of his material to Copenhagen because it had not been scientifically compiled and that he now realizes which he is at present rectifying in the proofs he is sending to President William Smith of the Scottish Geo. graphical society.
 His day by day record, Cooks says, shows his daily observations and checks up his speed record. thus ''con- clusiveIy'' proving his claims.
 He assails the Peary speed records as bordering on the impossible and such that they should De analysed by the scientists Of the world f
 Cook openly declares that the Amer ican Geographical Society accepted Peary's word on copies of his records and absolutely failed to examine and have tested his instruments, "an un- precedented performance and one call culated to prove that the society was far from impartial He refers to the fact that the decision at Copenhagen, but declaration that his proofs were insufficient and that he has now remedied this defect.
 Cook declared that his narrative in Hampton was emasculated and "ed1- torially doctored'' for advertising pur- poses and that material changes were made without his consent.

 Aviation Field, Squantum, Mass, Sept 2-Joseph F. Cummings dropped into Dorchester Bay shortly after ' this morning from a height of more than 800 feet. He was unhurt
 Only by the narrowest chance did Cummings escape drowning. He was going 500 feet high at such a rate of speed that when the long tail of the birdlfke monoplane in which he was making a practice flight struck the surface of the water, the machine turned completely over. Cummings was on top of the broken flier and extrfcated himself from the wreckage before it sank. Had the machine not turned over Cummings could not pos sibly have gotten away from under it in time to save himself. The crew of the revenue cutter Gresham went to Cummings help and returned him to the aviation field. It was Cum mings' initial flight. The blowing out of a, cylinder head in the engine caused the machine to drop like a plummet. Nothing on earth could

SAMUEL WHEELER SURE
 G0ODSELL PLAN IS BEST
Opposition to Costly and Unnecessary Herring Sys- tenn Grows as Enormous Expense Is Realized.
Taxpayers Should Not Be Burdened With So Expen- sive a Scheme, When an Efficient System Can Be Installed for Much Less.

That local tax payers both large and small are with Zalmon Goodseii ,n his effort to secure a sane and efficient sewer system for the city of Bridgeport at a minimum of expense is daily manifested by the assurances MT. Goodsell is receiving from not only men of moderate means, put owners of factories and large realty as well.
 A Farmer reporter learned today that Samuel Wheeler. after a stu1y of the situation, was convinced that MT. Goodsell's plan was the pest TOT ,os the city. MT. Goodsell was seen ana questioned concerning the report. Tn a chat with the reporter he said:
 ssI am pleased to count among those who uphold my views on this important question. MT; Samuea nuoa Wheeler Support from m snch sa hiah1v SVuree rec Carded. MT. Wheeler has taken a deep interest in this question and this foranoou he assured me that he was hOrourhly in accord with the effort I have been making to prevent the overburdening of the community with a bonded expense that ultimate lv will reach $3,000,00O.
 ssMr. Wheeler and his family have done more than any other Brldge- nort family to build up and beautify fha city. His distinguished father fine late Nathaniel Wheeler, foremost among Bridgeport manufacturers, was chairman of the committee tnat planned our present system or trunk rewers. Besides the interest which Nathaniel Wheeler held in the great manufacturing plant that bore his name he was interested in other ln- A,atries here and all of his busy life took a keen and commendable inter est in looking for the future growth of our city.
 samuel Wheeler and his brothers are right in the forefront of the city largest tax payers and certainly their views on this question are worthy of the highest consideration.
 tr s.Other large owners or property and heads of industries here have as- sured me that they believe the sys- lem which I have advocated is the one the city should adopt.
 ~I feel that whatever influence, possessed by those who are commit ing system. and who are trying to force its adoption upon an unwilling nubIfc. may have with the aldermanlc body. that the public at large IS dead a rainst it and that our responsible officials can easily ascertain that sentiment if they so desire.
 ssWhy our taxpayers should be 'burdened with this expensive scheme when one equally as efficient can be installed for not more than $300,0 900 is a mystery to many. There cer- Ifainiy can be no justification for plac- Ing such a burden upon the people and I shall in the future as l have m the past, do all in my power. to prevent 1t"
