Arctic Veteran Says Eskimo
Could Not Outline Map of
Cook's Route.
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.

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

don for the revolutionist was taken, but
tt Is understood If anything was done the
negotiations .were carried on directly be

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.

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

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

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."

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.

of Insurmountable obstacles, by a regen
eration so rapid and complete as to ba
the wonder of the world. 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."'

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

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

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"

Canyon at 7 P. M. He will spend tomor

priced corsets. We will grant that the
' finishing and trimming of $4 and $5
corsets are of a finer grade of material.
At the same time the quality of ma-
-terial put into this corset is durable,
serviceable and strong. The model is
an exact reproduction of the latest Fall
lines demanded by dressmakers.
At 98c we believe this to be the
"peer" of any corset ever offered in the
City of Portland, not at 98c, but at
$1.50 and $1.75, as the regular price of
this model is $1.75.
