NEW YORK. Sept. . Peary has
reached the North Pol. It has been
doubly discovered. From the bleak coast
ef Labrador Commander Peary today
flashed the news that lis bad attained
his foal in the Far North, while at the
ram moment In Denmark Dr. Frederick
A. Cook wm being dined and lionized by
royalty for the same achievement.
Yankee grit has conquered the frozen
North and there has been created a co
incidence such as the world will never
sea again. Two Americans have planted
th flag: of their country In the land
f ice. which man has sought to pene
trate for four centuries; and each, ignor
ant of the other's conquest, has sent
within a period of five days a laconic
message of success.
Message of Victory.
Here are the various messages received
today announcing Peary's victory:
'Indian Harbor, via Cape Ray. Sept.
6 To Associated Press. New York: Stars
and Stripes nailed to North Pole.
S.gned "PEART."

(Signed) "PEARY."
Found "o Trace of Cook.
A dispatch from St. Johns. X. F., says
that Peary found no trace of Dr. Cook.
This news reached here tonight through
Captain Robert Bartlett. of the Roose
velt. Peary's ship.
While Peary does not expressly re
pudiate Dr. Cook's contention in so many
words, his statement may have an im
portant bearing upon determining the
extent of Dr. Cook's explorations.
The Roosevelt was In good condition
and th crew all right. Captain Bartlett
wired, and he reported that the schooner
Jeannle. carrying supplies for the expe
dition, had met them oft the coast of
Greenland.
Coming south, the Roosevelt passed
Etah and Upernavtk. where Dr. Cook
had preceded Peary. The Roosevelt to
r.lght Is bound for Chateau Bay, Lab
rador, with Peary and party on board,
where she Is due tomorrow. Chateau
Bay lies northwest of Castle and Henley
Islands on the northern shore of Belle
Isle Straits and due east of Belle Isle.
Nails Flag to Pole.
Cook in his first message was brief,
but non-committal. Peary was even
briefer, but specific. "Stars and Stripes
nailed to the Pole," h said. Five days
ago Dr. Cook sent out from the Shetland
Islands the first message of his success,
a message that has aroused a storm of
controversy around the world. Today
Robert E. Peary, lost from viewln the
land of Ice and unheard from since Au-
' gust. 1908. startled the world by a similar
message sent from Indian Harbor, Labra
dor. There was no qualification: It left
: no doubt.
World Awaits Details.
With but a word from Peary, the world
waits for details, but none will be avail
able until he arrives at Chateau Bay,
Labrador. . Both th old and the new
world were apprised of Peary's rea

Young Man Is Killed in Eugene and
Revelation of Death Is Received
In San Francisco.
i
EUGENE. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.)
What is believed to be a remarkable
case of mental revelation is conveyed
In a letter received by the Chief of
Police her from a San Francisco
woman who asked for information
about a brother she dreamed had been
killed or seriously injured.
The woman Is Mrs. Kimmers. of, 1030
Stanyan street, San Francisco. Her
brother, C. W. Jessie, was killed in a
cavein In the Payne brickyard her
Thursday. Friday night his sister says
she had a mental vision of his being
killed or meeting with a serious acci
dent. Inasmuch as Jessie had been her
but a short time and as no one here
knew of his relatives, it is not prob
able that Mr. Kimmers had received
any tangible notification of th acci
dent to her brother wnen she had the
prophetic dream.
Mrs. Kimmers' letter was received
yesterday afternoon and was turned
over by the Chief of Police to the
Coroner, who got into communlcatibn
today with her by long-distance tele
phone and conveyed the intelligence- of
the young man's tragic death.
In her letter Mrs. Kimmers' descrip
tion of her brother lert. no doubt as to
the identity of the young man who had
been killed here. In her conversation
with the Coroner Mrs. Kimmers asked
that the body of her brother be held
here until she could get into communi
cation with another brother wh'o re
sides in Rosevllle, Cal.
PREHISTORIC BONES FOUND
Tooth of Monster Vncovered Near
Pendleton 14 Inches Long.
PENDLETON. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.)
Portions of a skeleton of some un
known prehistoric animal of unusually
huge proportions have been unearthed
by Orvllle Elder, on his farm in Despaln
Gulch, about 18 miles northwest of Pen
dleton. To convince his skeptical
friends that his find is genuine. Elder
brought In a tooth which Is 14 inches
long and has a chewing surface 7x3
Inches.
The molar Is In a fairly good state of
preservation, but Elder says most of
the other bones crumble to pieces as rap
idly as they are removed from the
earth. There are some pieces of the
ribs which are six or eight feet long,
however, and as all the bones seem to
be of like gigantic, proportions, the ani
mal must have weighed many tons.
A peculiar feature of the find was the
remnant of a sort of horn on the nose
which would seem to Indicate the ani
mal belonged to some extinct specie not
unlike the rhinoceros.

HERCULES MILL BURNS
Fire of Unknown Origin Causes
Nearly $100,000 Loss at Burke.
WALLACE Idaho, Sept. . (Special.)
Fire of unknown origin tonight destroyed
the. mill at th Hercules mine, togeher
with expensive machinery. Th plant,
which was one of the most modern in
th Coeur d'Alenes. will be a total loss,
the damage being estimated at between
175.000 and $109,000. with no Insurance.
It is not known at this time what effect
the loss of the mill will have on opera
tion of the mine, but it is not believed
to be necessary to close the mine, as
much of the ore can be shipped in the
crude state until the mill is replaced.
The milling ore could be handled at the
Tiger mill.
The Hercules property is owned princi
pally by th Day family. The niln Is
located about a mile from Burke.

John Mohlenhaup. of Newark. Ohio, and
J. S. Price, a recent arrival here, were
rescued late today by one of the nu
merous searching parties that had been
in the cave all night and today.
The men were nearly exhausted and
badly frostbitten when found and must
soon have perished. They had torn up
their clothing In order to make a rope

TTTT 1
COPENHAGEN. Sept. . Copenhagen
was electrified tonight by the report of
Commodore Peary's announcement that
he had reached the North Pole.' Dr. Cook
was Immensely Interested and said:
"That is good news. I hope Peary did
get to the Pole. His observations and
report on that region will confirih mine."
It is doubtful if history furnishes a
more dramatic episode than the breaking
of the news to Dr. Cook that Peary had
realized the goal of his life's ambition
and repeated struggles. Dr. Cook was
seated at a dinner surrounded by ex
plorers and correspondents in the gilded
ballroom of the Tivoll Casino. Around
his neck was hung a garland of pink
roses, according to the Scandinavian
method of honoring heroes, .which the
explorer wore blushingly and with visible
embarrassment.
Amid till scene whisper went around
the hall that Peary had found the Pole.
Admits Debt to Others.
" Dr. Cook made a striking speech in
which he paid high tiioute to the work of
Sverdrup, who sat ' near, to whose dis
coveries he largely attributed his -success;
to John R. Bradley, who had
financed the expedition; to the intelli
gence, endurance and faithfulness of the
Kskimos. who had assisted him in the
preparations and those who had ac
companied him. The whole story, he
said, has not come out and will not come
out for some time; nor will it come In
installments, but when it is completed.
Dr. Cook did not permit the whispers
of Peary's success to move him In the
least, but when he h,d finished he was
surrounded by correspondents who looked
for some sign of emotion. Then the ex
plorer said: "I am gad."
Asked If there was any probability of
Peary's having found the tube containing
his records. Dr. Cook replied:
"I hope so, but that is doubtful on ac
count of the drift. Commander Peary
would have reached the Pole this- year.

Leaps Into River to Save 4-Year-Old
Son, Who Is Rescued by
David Sholin.
MILWAUKEE. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.)
Leaping into the Willamette River to
save his 4-year-old son, Philip, who had
fallen overboard from a launch. Rev.
T. A. CuIIen lost his life opposite this
place at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
boy was saved by David Sholin.
Rev. Mr. Cullen was a pastor of the
Christian Missionary Alliance, and lived
at 229 Bast Nineteenth street. Portland.
A party of II, including Mr. and Mrs.
Cullen, their two children, G. H. Thomas
and daughter, Ed Sholin. David Sholin,
Mrs. Ruth Turner, daughter and son, left
Portland In a launch this morning for a
pleasure trip to Oswego. The party took
lunch there, and was returning. Cullen's
nttle boy being seated in the front of the
boat, dangling his bare feet in the water.
A sudden lurch of the boat threw him
overboard, and his father, who was a
good swimmer, sprang in to rescue him.
Cullen evidently took cramps, for he
did not come to the surface.
About ten men set at work at once
dragging the river for Cullen's body, the
water being about SO feet deep at this
point. Th body was recovered a half
hour after the accident, but two hours'
efforts at resuscitation failed to restore
the life spark.
PANIC MARKS SHIP'S LOSS
Allan Liner Sinks Passengers Are
Saved With Difficulty.
ST. JOHNS. N. F.. Sept. 6. Thrilling
srenes attended the loss of the Allan
Line steamer Laurentian, bound from
Boston for Glasjrow, which piled up on
the rocks near Cape Ray during a dense
fog early today. '
The vessel Is a total wreck, but the
50 passengers and 40 members of the
crew escaped to land after a trying ex
perience. The Laurentian was making about
13 knots an hour when she struck. The
passengers stampeded for the deck
without stopping to dress. Captain Im
rie and his officers, however, succeeded
In quieting all hands. At 7 o'clock or
ders were given to put the boats over
board. Twenty-five passengers, most
ly women and children, were placed in
the first boat, but the tackle collapsed
and several were thrown into the wa
ter. All were rescued.
Finally six more . life hoats were put
overboard and the passengers ' were
transferred to them. The sea con
stantly drenched the shipwrecked peo
ple, and it was only by constant bail
ing that the lifeboats were kept afloat.
About 10 o'clock, after the boats had
been adrift two. hours, a boat from a
nearby fishing village was sighted.
This boat piloted the boats to the har
bor, where all were landed in safety.'

TWO DAYS OF CONFERENCE
President Will Act on Alaska Coal
Land Today or Tomorrow and
Put Lid on Conservation
Rot Once for AH.
BEVERLY Mass.. Sept. 6. Secretary
Ballinger came to Beverly today, armed
with thre eportfolios filled with reports
regarding the Cunningham coal land e,n
try cases in Alaska, which have been the
subject of serious charges preferred by
Louis R. Glavis, an inspector, against
officials of the General Land Office and of
the Interior Department. Mr. Ballinger
intended also to take up with President
Taft the controversy between the Interior
Dspartment and the forestry division of
the' Department of Agriculture.
The President had accepted an invita
tion to present the cups at the horse
show of the Myopia Hunt Club this af
ternoon, however, and there was no op
portunity to talk over official matters.
Mr. Ballinger will see Mr. Taft tomorrow
and Wednesday. It Is expected that mat
ters in the controversy will be settled
before Mr. Bailinger returns to Wash
ington, Thursday or Friday. 1
Mr. Ballinger ?ouId not be drawn into a
discussion of the policy of the Interior
Department or of the Glavis charges. He
said, however, that the Interior Depart
ment had nothing to fear from the closest
scrutiny.' -
It is the general belief that out of Mr.
Ballinger's Interview with the President
some dehnite action will result. The is
sue has been rather too sharply drawn,
and, as was the case with Director
North, of the Census Bureau, and Secre
tary Xagel, of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, It cannot be overlooked
according to the Judgment of Government
officials who have been perturbed by the
intensity of the controversy. The fact
that Chief Forester Pinchot is a warm
personal friend of ex-President Roosevelt
and that he has railed into question the
faith of the Interior Department in car
rying out the Roosevelt conservation pol
icy makes the situation rather embar
rassing, to the President.

Parachute Fails and He Crashes to
Ground in Front of
Grandstand.
CHICAGO, Sept. 6. (Special.) More
than 6000 persons, more than half of
whom were women, saw Fred Banter, a
balloonist, fall nearly 1000 feet this after
noon at a Labor day picnic at De Kalb.
Nearly every bone in Banter's body was
broken and he is internally Injured but
at a late hour tonight he was still alive.
Banter was to have-made a parachute
leap and his ascension directly In front
of the grandstand at the fair grounds.
When it came time for him to make his
leap, however, his parachute wire failed
to work and he fell the entire dtstance
directly in front of the stand. His body
was crushed into a shapeless mass but
there was still a spark of life left and
numerous physicians who were in at
tendance are making desperate efforts to
save the man's life.
Banter, while falling, missed a hay
stack about 20' feet. Had the wind been
blowing in the right- direction he would
have alighted on the stack and his life
probably been saved.
Banter was an Aurora man and has
made more than 100 ascensions.

for a trip around Tillamook Head, and
that was the last seen of them. Until
yesterday it was thought the young mari
ners had successfully rounded the point,
but their failure either to return or to
send any word explaining their continued
absence has served seriously to alarm
their friends.
A searching party was organized here
today and early tomorow morning a
thorough search will be instituted for

Inquiries Besiege Physician.
Dr. Lyle appeared anxious that Harrl
man's condition should not be exagger
ated. The physician was besieged with
telephone inquiries following a day of
rumors that had apparently started In
New York and had disturbed Wall
street.
Two Incidents at Arden seemed to in
dicate that Mr. Harriman's condition is
again believed to be serious. A trained
nurse was hastily summoned. A second
incident was the sudden postponement
of a lawn picnic arranged by Mr. Harri
man's daughters for the children of the
Episcopal Church here today.
"It is only natural that a sick man
should want a nurse," said Dr. Lyle.
Xurse Needed Day and Xight.
