SPEAKS OF HARDSHIP ENDURED
May Not Have Been Able to Cor
rectly Manipulate Scientific In
struments Rescuers Go
into Leydcu Mine.
(Special to The Evening News.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. Pleading
that no one should discredit him un
til they knew what he had been call
ed upon to pass through in the
Arctic regions, Dr. Cook, in today's
Issue of Hampton's Magazine, opens
his story and lays the ground work
for his defense, not of his alleged
discovery of the North Pole, but o(
his honesty in the belief that he ac
tually accomplished the feat. All
through the introductory chapters of
the story Dr. Cook refers particu
larly to the great mental and physi
cal strain that he experienced in
his search, and to the possibility
that the hardships endured may
have effected his mind to the ex
tent that he could not accurately
make the scientific observations nec
essary. He states that he would not
have stood the suffering that he did
endure If it was true that he pre
meditated to lie concerning his work
and discovery of what he believed to
lie the North Pole.
Explore Gnu-Filled Shaft.
DENVER, Dec. 16. In a desperate
effort to rescue the ten imprisoned
miners In the lower levels of the
Leyden mine, a corps of rescuers,
lieaded by Prof. Roberts, of the gov
ernment rescue service, equipped
with oxygen helmets, entered the
-workings today and are endeavoring
to penetrate to the place In the tun
nels where the men are believed to
have walled themselves In to pro
tect them from the fatal gases which
filled the mine after the explosion
occurred. Hope Is entertained that
the men are all alive, and the res
cuers, are exploring shaft No. 2,
which is filled with gases, and no
man could live there only for the
oxygen helmets worn. The cause of
the disaster has not yet been ascer
tained. ASSESSMENTS RKIR'CED.

latter gentleman spoke In the Inter
est of Hyman Wollenberg. The com
plaints varied somewhat, a number
of the remonstrators contending that
they were unable to connect with the
sewer, while others were of the opin
ion that the assessment was exces
sive, and was not In proportion to the
benefits derived. After due delib
eration the ' assessments levied
against proerty owners not directly
benefitted by the sewer, were reduc
ed twenty five per cent, the difference
to be paid by the city.
Most of the remonstrators were as
sessed $96 per lot, and objected upon
the grounds that the assessments
were excessive considering the pros
pective benefits derived. Accord
ing to the decision arrived at at last
night'B meeting, the city will pay ap
proximately $2,000 of the total of
$5,000, representng the cost of the

Hobson mid Allies Allege that De

Cowardly to Keep the
People In Ignorance.
(Special to Evening News.)
WASHINGTON', Dec. 16. Declar
ing that Representative Tawney 1b
the man responsible for the present
lack of preparation for war and the
ability to repeal an Invasion, Con
gressman Hobson, of Alabama, as
sailed the Minnesota representative
today. He asserted that Tawney had
misrepresented Brmy and navy af
fairs In his public utterances, and
was now preparing to fight the pro
posed appropriations for fortifying
the Panama Canal. The truth is,
said Hobson, that Tawney has been
deliberately deceiving the public in
stating that over sixty per cent of
the total revenues of the government
have been devoted to preparing for
war. As a matter of fact the enor
mous pension list is paid out of this
sixty per cent, but Tawney purposely
refrained from making that fact
kuown.
Charge is Childish.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. In an
exclusive wire to the United Press
this afternoon. Representative Mc
Lachlan replied to Representative
Tawney, who charged that there is
a conspiracy to stampede Congress
into adopting measures for large ap
propriations for military purposes,
and says that the charge is too child
ish to be taken seriously. Repre
sentative McLachlan alleged that it
was wicked cowardice to hide the
national weakness, and that it was
cowardly for alleged patriots to at
tempt to keep the nation in ignorance
of the real state of affairs nnd then
when war was declared to send un
trained men into the field with ob
solete weapons to uphold the national
defense McLachlan scathingly re
marked that Tawney knew nothing of
the army or its needs.

LKTTKKS BY WIHK.
Western liilon Has Inaugurated
Mail Service.
The Western Union Telegraph
Compauy announced recently another
Innovation in telegraph service called
the "Special Ocean Mnll Service",
designed to save time in foreign cor
respondence. A letter from Port
land or San Francisco to London re
quires as much time crossing the con
tinent as it does crossing the ocean.
A. New York merchant writing to
Yokohama must post his letter prac
tically a week before the mull steam
er sails from San Francisco or Van
couver. The Western Union has arranged
for the use of Its night letter and
other telegraphic service In connec
tion with outgoing ocean mails so
that this week of transcontinental
time may be saved. Its New York
office wiU receive telegrams from
any part of the country destined to
European addresses and will for
ward them in a sealed specially ad
dressed envelope by the first out
going Atlantic steamship mail. The
same plan will be followed in San
Francisco. Seattle and Vancouver for
trans-Pacific malls.
This will enable correspondence to
be dispatched from any part of the
United States for an ocean mail with
in a few hours of sailing time. The
only charge In addition to the usual
telegraphic tollB to the ocean mall
port will be Ave cents for postage.
Telegrams should bear, the full mall
address of the foreign correspondent
for whom they are Intended and
marked "care Ocean Mall, New
York", or San Francisco, Seattle or
Vancouver as the case may be. No
charge will be made for the address.

Thought She Will Not Figure ns an
-Heir to Cudahy Fortune.
LOS ANGRLRS, Cal., Dec. 15.
While Mrs. Fdwinn Cowln Cudahy.
divorced wife of "Jack" Cudnhy, is
In Chicago, according to dispatches,
exercising some curiosity as to the
will of the lute Michael Cudahy and
preparing to enact the role of Santa
Clause to' her four beautiful chil
dren, she; may be doomed to disap
pointment on both propositions.
Her children are in Itamoua Con
vent, a private school near Alhambra,
and. apparently she does not know
they are out here. They were brought
several weeks afco nnd placed In
the Academy .of the Holy Name, Pas
adena, and have now been moves.
When Michael Cudahy intervened
in the domestic tangle following the
Llllis affair he entered Into an agree
ment with "Mrs. Jack", when she and
he signed it. This made ample pro
vision for the children and virtually
placed their mother on probation.
The terms have been kept an abso
lute secret. It Is learned from an
authorattve source toduy that Cud
ahy, through his heirs bound himself
to care for and educate the chil
dren, and at the age of 21 give each
$160,000, a trust fund having been
set aside for this purpose.
"Mrs. Jack" Cudahy Is given $5,
000 a year until she shull re-marry
or be proved guilty of misconduct.
It is strongly intimated that she Is
ignored In the will.
This afternoon ttio pupils of the
high school enjoyed n splendid ud
dress by Hon. H. L. Kddy on the sub
ject of "Memory".' .Mr. Kddy Is
at all times an Interesting talker,
and his wide experience gives him
a hold on bis topics that always
makes his lectures unusually Inter
esting. The high school classes lis
tened attentively to the address to
day, and there Is no doubt but the
young people received many valuable
suggestions that will be helpful to
them all through life.

In a speech today. The Mlnncsotan 1b

without defense -as the war depart

the Calf'.'hla Congressman, would

scor: ; at the Idea that there is any
iiise for alarm, and is determined
to hold public purse strings tightly
against Hobson, Congressman Mc
Lachlan and otherB who declare that
the country Is poorly equipped aB far
as the army Is concerned, and who
maintain that the Pacific Coast could
be captured and held for six monthn
by an invading army of 200.000 men
The Minnesota congressman Bald that
the effort to get a confidential re
port of the secretary of war In re
ply to the McLachlan resolution was
a part of the scheme Instituted by
the military enthusiasts to alarm the
people and thereby got their endorse
ment of large .Congressional appro
priations for the army and navy.
Congressman Humphries, of Wash
ington, took a position opposite to
that of Tawney, and said that a for
eign foe could land an invading foe
at Belllnghnm for Instance without
coming within fifteen miles of any
fortifications, und that they could es
tablish an Impregnable position there.
He stated that the foe might have
the wholo country at their mercy,
and maintained that the report of the
secretary of war expresses the opin
ion relntive to the condition of the
country which every man on the
Pacific coast hns known for years to

t'OXSlDKH SCHOOL SITliS. 4
The members ot the Rose-
burg school board convened lu
special session at 4 o'clock tills
afternoon for the purpose of
considering the various sites
for the contemplated high
school building. A petition,
signed by 261) representative
citizens, asking that the school
bo ceutrully located, was read
by Attorney D. L. Eddy. The
petition, although not specific In
its form, suggested the pur-
chase of a portion of the Cath-
ollc church property, situated
on Kane, Chadwlrk and Wash-
Ington streets. The church peo-
pie offer to sell the school board
tho north half ot their block,
166x220 feet In dimensions, for
the sum of $10,000. Among
those who spoke In favor of the
central site aside from Mr. Eddy
were W. L. Dyslnger and J. W.
Perkins, both of whom express-
ed themselves as opposed to lo-
eating the school In the extreme
limits ot tho city. 4
- Shortly before 5 o'clock the
board went into exocutlve ses-
sion, and will probably arrive
at some definite decision this
evening.
From expressions, It appears
almost certain that the school
will be located on the Catholic
site, three members of the -
board, Fullerton, Buchanan and
DUtard favoring bucIi procedure.
Another mutter discussed by
the board was the amount of
monoy necessury to conduct the
schools during the years 1911
nnd 1912. According to a re-
port submitted by Clerk Neu-
ner $35,000 will be necessary
to mnlntuln the schools during

of about $0,000 over the yoar
