Charges Maliciously Untrue.

In discussing the charge the report said ::
THE statement as whole in its in
situations of combination of unworthy
motive. In it's recital of alleged facts, is
grossly and maliciously untrue. 1t was
intended to convey the impression that
the time for hearing cases was so limited
as to prevent their being properly pre-
scented to the committee. The untruth
fulness Of this statement is clearly shown
by the records of the committee and the
newspaper reports of its deliberations
Not only did the rules make liberal pro-
vision for time In presenting the cases,
but in every instance where the parties
presenting the cases, or any member of
the committee. asked for an extension
of time 1t was granted
The statement of the Roosevelt mem
bers of the committee asserted that the
speed with which the credentials commit
tee brought in reports made it evident
that the reports had been prepared be-
forehand."

COPENHAGEN. July 29.-Having taken
leave of our comrades at Shannon Island
on April 10. we Capt. Mikkelsen's engi-
neer. Iverson, was his only companion)
proceeded northward over the inland ice
with provisions sufficient for a 100 days
journey.
We were much hindered from the out
set by the tempestuous weather The
surface was very billy and full of abyss
g. and as a consequence we and the
dogs fell very often through snowbraes.
We reached an altitude of $500 feet and
PASSED several high mountains between
queen Louise Land and Piede Gerlache,
mapping the border of the land from
there and southwark to Denmark ford.
On May Il we stepped down from the
inland ice to a lake, connected with the
bottom of Denmark ford. We shot two
musk oxen soon afterward in this neigh
borhood.
We sledged along the north coast of
the ford and found the first cairn of
Erickson at S0.25 north latitude
Erickson left this place September II.

Assertions Answered.

''This statement of facts, Endorsed by
forty members of the committee, who lis
tened patiently through all-day and all
night sessions to evidence and arguments
In order to be able to judge cases intelli-
gently and pass upon them honestly,
should be a sufficient answer to the reck-
less, unwarranted and untruthful asser-
tons contained in the statement signed
by eleven members Of the committee two
of whom did not attend sessions of the
committee, did not hear any of the evil
dence presented. and nearly all of whom
indicated their bias by voting In every
case for the delegates known to be favor
able to Mr.. Roosevelt, including numer-
Gus cases in which the action of the ma
tional committee had been unanimous for
the Taft delegates.
AS appendices the statement carried the
majority and minority reports of the Gre
dentials committee on each of the con-
tests.

No advance" Reports Made.

In reply to this statement, the appendix
to the White House statement said:
I'm regard to the assertion that re-
ports were prepared in advance of the
action of the committee on credentials.
no one Of the gentlemen who make this
statement will state, of his own pre-
thus made"
In concluding. the majority Of the Gre
dentials committee, defending its de-
cisions, said:
LAS to the merits of these contested
cases upon which the committee passed.
it should be remembered that the ma
tional committee sat for fifteen days
hearing evidence and argument upon
them Out of total membership of
ftBty three only thirteen members of
that committee objected to the findings
and decisions, and they only with regard
to a part Of the cases, the action of the
committee having been unanimous with
regard to majority of them"

Taken Ill With Scurvy.


We started on our return journey
May 25 from Cape Rigsdagen. The
snow was very soft. and the going was
slow. We searched all through the
land, and found no trace of Erickson.
At this point 1 became very i'll OF
scurvy.
We found a depot on Northeast Bend.
The depot contained very little food.
and nothing besides that. A depot on
Andrups Land was untouched
We reached Molemuk mountain June
81, and had TO lie low until the snow
was melted from the ice ] found very
little hunting in this neighborhood, but
shot a few seagulls. i recovered soon
afterward from the scurvy and could
work again
At the beginning of July we proceeded
southwark on the ice without snow but
were much delayed by the water and
crevasses. We lost our instruments and
other things when a sledge fell into the
water. The provisions were damaged
by salt water. and again we had to lie
low on Havgaads Island until the be-
ginning of August. the outdrifting in
land ice being impossible.
The depot here was quite destroyed by
water. but IL had not been touched. We
got no game. and We're very hungry hay
ing been on short allowances since the
beginning OF July.

No Complaints Were Barred.

The convention declined, by a substan-
tial majority, to reverse the action Of the
national committee, and it referred the
contested cases to the committee on Gre
dentials. When our committee met rules
were adopted by unanimous vote. No one
desiring to make complaint as to the
seating of any delegate was prevented
from presenting his case. The committee
even considered cases which had been de-
cided BY a unanimous vote of the national
committee notably the Indiana case.
The committee on credentials Of the
republican national convention consists of
fifty-three members. The committee in
every case sustained the decision of the
national committee, and in no case by
matorities Of less than two-thirds.

ATHENS

Grange met in regular session, sat
urday afternoon. June 10. The at
tendance was the smallest for long
time owing to busy season when near
~ every man and some of the women
were obliged 10 remain at home try
ing to finish 1912 planting. The lee
turer's program was: Piano solo, Mrs
Ellingwood: Quotations, members;
Reading, Blanche Chapman; Reading,
Annie Fox: Recitations, Mrs. Filing
wood; Reading, Eta Cooley. James
Chapman was called upon to report
the condition of the railroad move
ment. Being one of the most active
members of the r. X. committee, he
was able to give much interesting in
formation especially of the meetings
of the committee in Brighton, Athens,
Cornyille, East Madison and Skowne-
gan II is a discouraging feature OF
this work that since the project was
started, there has been such an adj
vance in prices of material labor,
etc, that a larger sum will be needed
for building and equipping the road
than was first estimated. Ii is hoped
that the committee appointed al these
meetings may be so successful in Sc
curing subscriptions that the railroad
from Skowhegan to Athens will be as
sured within a few months Owing TO
the small attendance, the discussion
of the question as given out at the
previous meeting was left for the
next meeting, June 20, when ii is
hoped there may be large attend
ance that some important business
matters may be decided upon. AT the
close of the session, all who wished
passed to the dining room below
where ice cream was on sale by
committee of ladies from the Baptist
Auxiliary, who were very grateful for
the liberal patronage received not
withstanding the absence of the base
ball boys who had been expected to
play here on that date. The Athens
team went to Harmony where they
played a rubber game, resulting in
score of 10 to 6 in favor of Athens.
The ladies' of the society will be on
hand, June 20, to continue their ice
cream sales at the close of the Grange
session.

large attendance the lecturer merited.

introduced many to the speaker to en-
