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.

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 Concluded on Fag 0.) Young Man Is Killed in Eugene and Revelation of Death Is Received In San Francisco. i EUGENE. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.)

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.

PREHISTORIC BONES FOUND Tooth of Monster Vncovered Near Pendleton 14 Inches Long. PENDLETON. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.)

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.

After be ing lost in the ice caves at Lake Mary, ten miles below here, for nearly 24 hours. 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.

When the I report that Commander Peary had 4 I discovered the North- Pole reached f here. Dr. Cook said : "I hope the news la correct. Peary has reached the Pole, his descriptions of that region will con- firm mine." I 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. Concluded on Page 4.) ....... TT--- ............ ....... ?

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.
