COOK WOULD NOT RETRACE Professor Djche, of Kansas, Points Out Weakness of Peary's State ment Absurd to Suppose Cook . Would Give Cp the Trip. TOPEKA. Kan., Oct. 13. Professor I. L. Dvche. head of the department of natural history of the University of Kansas, who made several trips to the north as a member, both of the Peary and the Cook exploring parties, and is personally acquainted with the explorers, made a statement today to the Topeka State Journal, touching on the present controversy, after reading Commander Robert E. Peary's statementss Peary's Story Incredible. 'Commander Peary's statement pub lished today," Mid-Professor Dyche, "to my mind is absolutely incredible. It is based upon the testimony or ignorant Eskimo, who were incapable or under standing a country to which they had never been before well enough to outline such a map as that published today and cred ited by Mr. Peary to their explanation. Only Intelligent white men with Instru ments could make their way to such a country and be able to report In de tail upon It a year after the trip was made. '"While I believe Commander Peary reached the Pole, accompanied by relays of men. physicians and supplies, backed up by four well-equipped supporting par- ties with Eskimos and trained dogs. I have not the shadow of a doubt that Dr. Cook reached the Pole first and exactly ' as he details in his own published story. ' supported by the photographs and ob servations taken by him and printed or told In connection with his story. Why Should Cook Turn Back? "The most astounding part of Com mander Peary's story, it seems to me, consisted of a statement that Dr. Cook got to the north part of the land border ing on the great Arctic Ocean the point for which be had strlved for a month ' during the hardships of Intense cold and the rigors of Arctic climate with ample supplies, sleds and Eskimos all In flrst I class condition, and then simply turned back, apparently for no reason., i "How unlikely ft Is that a man with . over Jl years' Arctic experience, fired with an ambition of a lifetime, would 1 give up just at a time and place when 1 one of the greatest trophies the world has i to bestow upon a brave and daring ex ' plorer was standing within his reach, beckoning him to come on." COOK TO SE.VD FOR ESKIMOS . Kxplorfr Scores His Rival for Xot . Bringing Witnesses. " BUFFALO, Oct. 13. "I can only say that the actual living human witnesses of my Journey to the Pole will them selves be able to disprove the distorted conclusions put Into their mouths In the statement Issued by Commander Peary.", said Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who arrived here -today, to the Asso ciated Press. "There could be no better testimony than that given by the men themselves before an unbiased body of Inquirers. Commander Peary evidently regards their evidence as of the most profound importance, and so do I.- It seems to me that he might have brought them along with him If he was so confident that they would corroborate his story. "He. however, chose not to do so. I will, however, send for them as soon an possible and place them at the dis posal of any scientific or other body that may desire to examine them with the aid of; any competent Interpreters whom the1 examining body may ap point." Asked whether he would make a di rect reply to Peary's statement, as had been Intimated In an Interview at Cleveland last night. Dr. Cook said: "There is nothing to add to what has been said. I do not intend to enter Into a newspaper controversy with anyone." Dr. Cook was gl-en a public recep tion at the Chamber of Commerce at noon. FERRER DEAD; PARIS BOILS (Continued from First P IN CREDO King from being placed In a position where he might have to grant or refuse a Papal request for pardon. What attitude the Vatican assumed to ward the Ferrer rase cannot be learned, as the officials will neither deny nor V confirm that any step looking to a par don for the revolutionist was taken, but tt Is understood If anything was done the negotiations .were carried on directly be tween the Pope and King Alfonso. . . The one phase of the affair that the Vatican emphatically denies Is the asser tion that the Spanish Ambassador here took any action to prevent the Interven tion of the Pope to procure a pardon. WAS DANGER TO MONARCHY Ferrer Often Accused of Preaching and Plotting Republic. With the execution of Francisco Ferrer, the authorities have removed from the affairs of Spain one long suspected of revolutionary' actiities and who, because pf his education and Influence. . was deemed a peculiar danger to the state. The decree of the court-martial was carried out In the face of protests from sympathisers not only In Spain but In parts of France. ' In Paris and Rome at tacks were attempted upon the Spanish embassies, which, however, were pro tected by police and soldiery. Many pe titions for clemency were addressed to Kire Alfonso, who also was threatened with death should he not spare Ferrer's life. Ferrer was formerly a director of the Modern School of Barcelona and was re peatedly accused of teaching revolu tionary doctrines. In 1906 he was ar rested, charged with complicity with Manuel Morales in the attempt upon the life of King Alfonso on the day of the royal marriage. On trial. Ferrer was acquitted. On September last he was arrested, charged with having Incited the rioting in Barcelona last Summer. This outbreak, which " spread through the Cstalonian provinces, was In the nature of a protest against the sending of Spanish troops against the Moors on the Riff Coast, and for a time assumed alarming proportions. It was alleged that Ferrer was a prin cipal in the uprising. At his trial docu ments were submitted alleged to have re lated to revolutionary movements and to have Included the proclamation of a Spanish republic. GIRL WHOM J.'M. BARRIE IS REPORTED TO INTEND MARRYING. J -aa" IS X -7i V. v. t t If:, i f A. L rii'Lixis CMASE, BARRIE DIVORCES FAITHLESS WIFE She Admits Cannan Is Only Man in World for Her and Is Cut Loose. FORGIVENESS IS REJECTED Rumor That Barrle Will Marry Pauline Chase, Actress) Whom He Has Almost Adopted Had Xo Domestic Bliss. LONDON. Oct 13. After telling of his wife's indiscretions with a youthful au thor .named Gilbert Cannan. James M. Barrle, the author and playwright, was today granted a divorce from his wife who was Mary Ansell. the actress. His friends say that he will marry Pauline Chase, the, American actress, who has been so close a friend to both him and his wife and has been such a frequent guest of theirs that she has come to be regarded as their adopted daughter, they having no children. Offered to Forgive Wife. Barrie himself took the witness staffd. He said that in fcl908 he had permitted the co-respondent the use of a cottage which he owned at Farnham. It was at this cottage that the alleged mtsconduot took place. The plaintiff said the matter first came to his ears from the servants and that, when the accusations were made known to his wife, she admitted their truth. Barrle said he offered to forgive theof fnses on condition that defendant should break off her acquaintance with Cannan. He also said he would consent to an agreement of separation. Cannan Only Man for Her. Both offers were refused by Mrs. Barrle. who pleaded with her husband to set her free, declaring that Cannan was the only man In the world to her. No damages are asked by the plaintiff, but Cannan must pay the costs. Mrs. Barrle made no defense. Couple Not Congenial. While gossip freely couples the names of Barrie and Miss Chase, none ventures to insinuate that he sought the divorce for the purpose of taking another wife. While the divorce causes general sur prise, his family and Intimate friends have expected it. for the couple differ greatly in temperament and have not lived In harmony. Mrs. Barrie was a pretty and distinctly talented actress when Barrle married her, 15 years ago. She was playing In his first dramatic success, "Walker, London." She now Is a most attractive woman, distin guished in appearance and always gowned in the test taste. Miss Chase was the original "Pink Pajama Girl" In the "Liberty Belles." and has been piaying In Barrie's "Peter Pan" in London. CRANE IS VICTIM OF JAP (Continued from First Page.) partment toward the Japanese-Chinese treaty. It Is the opinion here that If this wag the real basis for the ousting of Mr. Crane. Mr. Knox, as Secretary of State, would have fol lowed the usual diplomatic method of burying the real Issue as deeply as possible, especially when its confirma tion officially tended to magnify the existing diplomatic conditions, and would have offered some other excuse. It was apparent 'today that every effort will be made In administration circles to ignore further pursuit of the Crane Incident. If possible. It was stated at the AVblte House that, so, far as known there, the Incident was closed. In the absence 'of Mr. Knox, officials In charge at the State Department ex hibited a decided inclination to keep out of the whole affair. In the opinion of Washington the Crane Incident will not dies so easily, partially owing to the standing of Mr. Crane, partially to the diplomatic questions directly In volved and' partially because of Mr. J :-i-V:, r - Mi K - THE ACTRESS. Crane's own statement in reply to Mr. Knox, which Is interpreted here as re flecting on the administration .of the State Department. The new developments of today In cluded Information' to the effect that Mr. Crane never saw the ' Chicago Record-Herald article of September 27, the responsibility for which he admitted to Mr. Knox on Sunday night, until Monday last. One of the possible indirect results of the wliole Incident Is the unmistakable notice that Japan has Incidentally re ceived, even In the words of Mr. Knox's statement of yesterday, that this Gov ernment looks with disapproval on her gains In Manchuria through the new treaties with China. ' A man who has studied international politics for many years, but who would not be quoted by name, described it in this way: "It was very necessary that Japan should be advised of the intention of this Government to protect to the utmost the interests of American trade in Man churia, yet In such a way as to avoid placing the State Department In a posi tion from which It would be awkward to retreat in the event of the odds being found too great. "The recent disclosures, the truth of which, as Mr. Crane in his statement points out, ,fhe department fails to deny, may have served this purpose very well, and the fact that the department felt called upon to 'punish Mr. Crane for these disclosures, might well serve as notice to the Japanese Government of Its serious objection to the new treaties." TAFT WILL LEAVE i IT TO KNOX Interested but Silent About Removal of Minister Crane. PRESCOTT, Ariz., - Oct. 13. President Taft evinced great Interest today In the press dispatches from Washington con cerning the Crane case, but gave out no statement regarding it, the intimation be ing that there will be no statement from Mr. Taft at any time. Secretary Knox is In full control of the State Department, and it Is presumed that he has been authorized by the Presi dent to accept Mr. Crane's resignation forthwith.

The toast composed by President Taft, which will be drunk all over the world at the hour when the Portola .

May her fu ture growth be as remarkable as her past and may her civic righteousness and the individual happiness of her citi zens keep pace with it."'

Frank Lonergan. the manager, and the basketball players of the Mult nomah Club held a meeting last night at 'Which the plan to withdraw from the State Basketb3.ll Association was discussed, but no definite action taken ' because It Is desired to secure more detailed information on certain ques tions.

A. at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the Multnomah Club will be prepare4.either to cast Its lot with the organization once more or formally to withdraw. The .principal question to be decided is whether or not It is advisable for Multnomah to affiliate with the state organization because of the number of small institutions represented. Thls matter will be decided before Satur day's meeting. The football practice last night was a repetition of the previous successful workouts of the; Multnomah gridiron warriors. George W. McMillan, the manager, and 17 members of the team worked at. hard practice for over an hour, and when the bqys finished all were tired but still enthusiastic. The following participated: Manager Mc Millan, George Carlson. Smith. Dr. G. F. Sschmelzel. Dave Jordan. Gordon Moores, Jack batourette. Ludlam. Ford, Mays. Buell. Whitlock. Root. Philobar, Powell,' Abiams. Tanzcr and Plummer. Mest of these are new men." but the prospect of a hard game with Wil lamette University scheduled for -Saturday caused the boys to work hard, and Manager McMillan was well pleased with the showing made. Aside from deciding to send Swim ming Instructor Cavill and Wrestling Instructor O'Connell to the Portola week events "at San Francisco very little business outside of routine work was transacted by the board of di rectors at last night's meeting. An other transaction by the board was to indorse Professor Cavlll's Idea of hold ing an annual Christmas day swim across the Willamette River, and the club will offer suitable trophies for the event. Applications for membership are coming In-fast and Indications point to equaling the battle cry of "1500 In 1910" without any trouble.

MAKING OF CONSTITUTION ' ' President Advises Arlxonans to Adopt Simple Rules of Govern ment and Make Oklahoma Horrible Eiample. PRESCOTT. Ariz.. Oct. 13. President Taft won a hearty welcome into Arizona todav by proclaiming wherever he went that" he was heartily in favor of state hood for each of the territories of Ari zona and New Mexico. When the joyous ness that greeted his statement had filed away, Mr. Taft had some sober words for his audience in which he sought to impress upon them the necessity for de liberation In framing a constitution. He declared that their constitution should show the simplicity of the Constitution of the United States. ' Avoid Oklahoma Cranks. Mr. Taft urged the people of Arizona to profit by what he termed the mistakes of Oklahoma In constitution-making. He characterized the Oklahoma constitution as a "zoological garden of cranks." The President's train was whirled along at breakneck speed today through scorch ing desert wastes of sagebrush and cac tus. At times the alkali stirred up by the rushing cars filtered in a cloud through ventilating screens and closed Windows and was well-nlght stifling. The sky was cloudless and the sun shone with torrid Intensity. Throughout the day. the horizon was lined with the jagged, rusty peaks of sun baked mountains shrouded in azure haze. Occasionally, - however, the train rushed through a veritable little garden spot of fruits and flowers, where the touch of water had worked Its wonders. Alto gether the President had, a typical glimpse of the Far Southwest. ' Blanket Indians and Autos. ' At Phoenix and Prescott, where he made his principal stops, and at each In termediate station . where he appeared for a moment or two on the rear plat form of his car. he was greeted by the cosmopolitan people of the territory. The anachronism of Indians in their primitive blanket wrappings, standing in the midst of high-powered automobiles, became common before the day was over. Postmaster-General Hitchcock Joined the Presidential party today. With him was Victor Mason, who had charge of the Republican National headquarters In New York during the campaign of last Fall. - In his principal speech, delivered at Phoenix today, the President said: Help to Get Statehood. "It is a new sensation for me to talk to the people of a territory and I may say thus far It la a very pleasant sensation. I want to congratulate you on having such a territory, such energy and such enterprise as has called forth from the Republican party a pledge that you shall have statehood, and in order to establish my relations with you early, I want to say that, so far as I am concerned, I am going, to help carry out that promise so far as I can. "Sometimes It Is better to postpone the marriage and everything else In a novel to the end. but I always have the habit of looking through to see whether it ends all right before I begin, and I am In clined to think that the ladles before me generally follow that course. "Now. gentlemen and ladles for I don't know whether you are going to let the ladies vote or not, and I . speak, there fore, with due consideration, you are an ticipating statehood, you are anxious to show what you can do as an Independent government, and I am afraid you are anticipating the pleasure of that Inde pendence without fully understanding or at least realizing now" the responsibili ties of it, and, therefore. If after having made this announcement, I point out some of the difficulties that you are going to have, you wlli excuse me. How to Make Constitution. "You have got to fomulate a constitu tion after Gongress says you shall come In. and I want to say a word about that constitution. In saying o, I give you an earnest knowledge of the seriousness wfth which I say that I believe you will be made a state. A constitution is for the purpose of laying down fundamental limitations upon your Legislature and your executive. Now, 16 you think that In that constitutional convention you ought to lay down all the limitations that are ordinarily Included in a statute, you are going- to rnake a great mistake. "The greatest constitution that was ever made Is the Constitution of the United States and you can go through that In a very short time. You take the last constitution that was made it is the constitution of Oklahoma and It Is a zoological garden of cranks. I don't mean to say that It has no good ideas In it; it has. But the idea of tying down a Legislature, which la an exper iment, so to speak, with the laws that are to be adapted to a new territory, with a long discourse Imposing all sorts of limitations Is a mistake which you ought to profit by. Make Constitution Simple.. "Your assumption of statehood throws upon you a responsibility that will not enable you thereafter to charge it all to the Federal Government. When you get Into difficulty out here and have bad officials or your Legislature gets you into It In a county or city, you can not say It la the fault of Washsington because Washington does not under stand It. Then the fault will be on your own head. I have no doubt that you will stumble and fall, as other people and other states have stumbled and fallen, but you are Americans, you are come of a race used to self-government; used to taking hard knocks in the school of experience and profiting by them. And-'lf by a caution I can restrain the desire of those most progressive. If I may use that expression, or most full of the Idea of having the limitations on government, can restrain, them from mak ing the constitution other than a funda mental law with simple rules of limita tion, if I can halt and Induce the people of this state to take tlmeto deliberate over that Instrument that is to follow them so long in the histsory of their state and Its growth and development I shall not have let this morning go without Its . profit" (The President left here for the Grand Canyon at 7 P.
