Pennsylvania For Roosevelt.

Sundays newspaper dispatches from
Philadelphia showed that the republi
can primary election In Pennsylvania
Saturday had resulted ia a landslide
for Roosevelt. Out OF 64 delegates
elected, the early returns showed
fully so pledged for the ex. president,
with the probability that the state
convention which would chose IL
delegates at large would be con srolled
by the anti-Taft element.
The republican organization lead
ers, who confidently looked for victory
are said to have been stunned by The
overwhelming defeat of the Tafl
candidates and had nothing to sa,
of the result.

Indian War Veterans.

| The following is sent out from the
headquarters Of the United Indian
War Veterans with request that it be
published:
Washington, D. c.. April 10, 1912.
The United Indian War Veterans
are organized for the purpose OF get
ting House Bill No. l980O passed.
1t was introduced by Mr.. Rucker of
Colorado, and has been amended and
will be favorably reported by the
House Committee on Pensions, and
when passed will give pension to all
soldiers (or their widows) that served
from 1855 to 1893 in any of the To-
dian Wars, a pension from twelve to
twenty dollars per month. The
records of the War Department show
the names of every soldier when he
was enlisted and when be was dis
charged. or If he was slain in battle,
or waylaid or murdered by the savages.
1t also shows the hundreds of battles
that were fought and names Of thou
sands who gave their lives in protect
Ing the lives of others. 1t also gives
the battles where the whole army was
annihilated, the Custer massacre,
the Fetterman massacre. the Stretton
massacre and the Thorndike massacre
and many others where but few made
their escape. To be taken prisoner
by the savages, they were doomed to
die by the most flendish torture. The
records also show that fighting the
Savages In the desert was the hardest
service ever rendered by any army,
and why should these soldiers not
have pension the same as other
soldiers.
We are in need of the names and
addresses of all who will be entitled
to pension under this act, so that
we can enter their names and ad-
dresses upon our books ia order that
we may be able to get them the proof
of their comrades that served with
them. Send your came and address

LOT NEAR DEPOT
MAY Be PARKED

There is prospect that the vacant
block between the Hotel Bowman and
the O-W. r. & y. track may be park
ed and changed from a place of dirt
and CRIME into a spot of beauty. The
hope for this Improvement lies in the
fact that an effort is now on to get
the railroad. the city council and the
civic club to cooperate in making the
betterment.
Following a talk with Charles
Chamberlain, prominent railroad Of
ficial who was here last week, T. F.
O'Brien local agent for the COM
pany, says he will take the matter
before the city fathers and the civic
club to see what assistance the town
will give towards parking the block.
1t was urged by Mr. Chamberlain
that the improvement should be
made and it is known that other rail-
road officials feel the same about the
matter. 1t is considered that the
present state of the tract is disgrace
ful and a reproach both to the city
and to the railroad.
1t now remains to be seen whether
or not satisfactory terms can be
reached whereby the improvement
may be made.

LEPR0US CHINAMAN
IN WALLA WALLA

Walla Walla, Wash, Nov. 90
That leprosy exists in Walla Walla is
the belief of local authorities, and City
Health officer c. Il. Montgomery has
been called upon by the police depart
ment to investigate Lee Ling, a Chi
nese living In one of the old shacks
on the north side of Rose street, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets.
DR.. Montgomery made a prelimi-
nary examination the last of the week
and cound that the man is suffering
from a chronic case of venereal dis
ease of the worst kind and in ai-
dition TO this he thinks it barely pos
sible that the man has leprosy.
Microscopic tests to determine wheth-
er or not this is the case will be made
this week.
Lee Ling has lived in the city for
the past Is years and Is said to have
been affected with disease for some
time. Some two years ago complaint
was made to city officials, but nothing
was done regarding the case. He has
been given a home on Rose street
dhu 10 DeIhk CdItu LOT DN IUeInDeTS
of the local Chinese colony.
Should it prove that the Chinaman
has leprosy in addition to his other
malady 1t is probable that he will be
turned over to immigration Officer f
l.. Wells.
According to statement made by
DR.. Montgomery this morning, lepro-
sy is not highly contagious.

DR. COOK DENOUNCES PEARY AND DEFENDS SELF
LOCAL AUDIENCE HEARS OTHER SIDE OF CASE

If all that was told by DR.. Freder-
ck A. Cook at the Oregon theater
last evening is true, then Is he the
most abused and the most villified
man who ever claimed "A world wide
attention and his rival, Rear-Admiral
Robert Peary is the blacklist arch

Among the charges which he made
against the latter was the deliberate
attempt to murder him by steallhs

might never live to report the success
of his quest. He accused his rival oil
accomplishing the theft by inducing
the man whom he (Cook) had lett IL

the station upon promise of medica

by Barrel, his companion on the

reached the top he called attention
to the fact that these charges were
not made until after he discovered the
pole and he made the explicit accusa-
ton that il was made for bribe of
$4,000 furnished by Peary's support
ers. He recounted what he declared
to be the details of the bribe, first
an offer of $1,000, then of $4,000. then
of $4,000 made in the office of Col.
Blethen, publisher of the Seattle
Times, and then of $4,000 made in

society was no more national than is
the National Cash Register company
and that any man could be a geo.
grapher in it for 81 per. The three
experts he said were personal friends
of Peary.
In speaking of the report of the
Danish savants, he declared they had
not said that he never reached the
pole but had stated that with his OBJ

other white man to support the claim
they could not declare positively that

ed that thirty arctic explorers, in

gal documents, his own money and
his fists if necessary.
His account of his trip was intense
ly interesting despite the fact that he
is not a trained public speaker, and
the slides supplied what his words
could not in the descriptions of the
icebound zone of the north. His
story was one of hardship and peril
almost unbelievable.
DR.. Cook described his going to the
Arctic regions, the establishment OF
food supply station, the first long Win
ter night of four months and its hard
ships and monotony. He told of his
selection of men and dogs for the dash
to the pole, and of the methods pur-
sued in travelling over the snow and
ice The first stages of the trip We're
comparatively easy, he said, as game
was plentiful and dogs and men had
plenty to eat. He told of the reduc-
ing of his party and of the return of
the EsquimauN, who established pro-
vision caches every so miles, to be
used by the men when DR.. Cook re-
turned. Within 100 miles of the pole
he again reduced his party. taking
with him two Esquimo boys, two
Sleds and a sufficient number of dogs
The party then made the last part

miles, select a camping spot in a bank
of snow, and then preparations for
