ATTEMPT TO STEAL RECORD
Explorer Warned In Time, Sends
Secretary With Dummy After He
Has Sent Real Document
to Copenhagen.
? NEW YORK. Nov. 2. Dr. Frederick
A. Cook is reported to have suffered
nervous breakdown, and his condition
Is such that not even his closest per
sonal friends are permitted to see him.
Tiie work of preparing and annotating
the records by which he expects to
prove that he discovered the North Pole
is said to be responsible for his condi
tion. He came into the city Wednesday
afternoon from the suburban hotel
where he had been at work for several
weeks, and consulted specialists. His
condition was reported to be such that
lie was hurried to the home of a friend
in this citv, where he has since re
mained in seclusion.
An attorney representing Dr. Cook
announces today that the sailing of
Wslter Ixmsdale. Dr. Cook's secretary,
m the steamship'Unlted States, with a
large portfolio, was a subterfuge, and
tiiat Dr. Cook's data really started
for the city of Copenhagen several days
ago on a. much faster steamer.
The portfolio which Mr. Lonsdale car
ried was only a dummy to trap the con
spirators who have resorted to every
means to gain possession of Dr. Cook's
data.' said the explorer's attorney.
"1 am convinced that an effort will
be made to rob him of the package
which he has in his possession before
the steamship reaches the other side,"
said the attorney.
Persons in Dr. Cook's confidence de
clare that his detectives learned that
two men and a woman took passage
on the United States to gain possession
of the data which, they believed Mr.
Ionsdale would carry to Copenhagen.
It Is said Dr. Cook received a letter
several days ago from a scientist, in
forming him that an effort would be
made to obtain the records.

"On Safari, North of Mount Kenin. Sept.
Ti. 1909. Dear Mr. Bridgman: Your cable
has Just been brought me by a native run
ner here In my camp by the Guaso Nyiro.
I am writing Mrs. Peary and to Captain
Peary I have no Idea where he is. I am
inexpressibly rejoiced at his wonderful
triumph and proud beyond measure as an
American, that this one of the great feats
of the ages should have been performed
by a fellow-countryman of ours. It s the
great fent of our generation.. We are
Captain Peary's debtors, all of us who be.

was so badly damaged In three places
yesterday that transfers had to be made.
General Manager O'Brien said last night
that the reports he had received Indicated
that all trains would be running on ached,
ule not later than tonight.
At Vancouver the Columbia River was
15 feet 6 inches above low water last
night,' having risen two Inches in the
last 10 hours. The Columbia River at
Vancouver Is now several miles wide.
At Oregon City the Willamette was re
ceding rapidly last night. The locks may
reopen Sunday, and the entire plant of
the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper Com
pany is expected to resume Monday. Mill
C. of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Com
pany, will start up Saturday night, and
Mill D soon after. Mill A will resume
Monday or Tuesday. The machlhe-room
of the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company
will start Monday and the pulp mill with
in a day or two after.
Draw Rest Is Disabled.
Twenty feet of the north draw-rest of
the Steel bridge gave way suddenly early
last night under pressure of a raft of
logs, and joined the mad rush of logs,
planks, boathouses and other objects
down the river.
Thursday night and all day yesterday.
a"s objects would strike the supports of
the bridge, a distinct shock, causing un
easiness on the part of bridge-tenders
and pedestrians, occurred. A rumor be
came current yesterday that the steel
bridjre Is unsafe, but this Is discredited.
Numerous persons living In Alblna took
cars over theBurnslde bridge and walked
down to Williams avenue and took the
car last evening.
Horses Are Rescued.
Four horses, hemmed In on a small
peninsula at the foot of Curry street in
South Portland, owned by the M. C. Ban
fleld Fuel Company, almost starved for
lack of food for two days, were rescued
by Humane Officer Sergeant Crate and
four helpers yesterday afternoon. The
peninsula is used as a pasture by th
fuel company and the horses were ut off
from land Wednesday night by the rise
of the river. At 10 o'clock last night
water several feet deep covered the land
A rowboat was secured by Sergeant Crate
and the horses were made to swim across
the channel to the landing.
Arrangements have been made for
survey of the British bark Gulf Stream
which parted her lines Thursday and
went adrift in the lower harbor. Th
Gulf Stream was towed to the North
Pacific dock yesterday and she will be
surveyed by Captain Crowe this morn
Ing. It is probable that she will be
placed on the drydock as soon as th
Rainier comes off.
Lewis River Falling.
The Lewis River, which has been
near the danger point for ten days. Is
receding. Similar reports come from
other Southwestern Washington points.
The lllamette receded gradually
Albany yesterday, but Is yet at 21 H
feet above low water. It Is a notlcea
ble feature of the present flood that
the swollen waters In the Willamette
Santiam and other Elvers In this part of
the state have fallen more slowly than
In any former flood In many years.
More Showers Predicted.
Cloudy, with showers and light
southerly winds, are predicted for to
day. The rains, however, will not have
any effect on the river. The tempera
ture Is considerably less than during
the first five days of the week, and the
cold will stop the melting or any snow
which may be left In the foothills. The
barometer is rising, and at 5 o'clock
last evening stood 30.07 (reduced to sea
level). California will enjoy fine
weather for the next few days. '

Fireboat to Rescue.
After three hours the fireboat George
H. WlIIian:e, having been notified of the
accident by a telephone message from a
resident of Pellwood. who had heard the
whistle calls' of distress, reached the
scene, but was unable to handle the tow,
and the steamer M. F. Henderson was
called on for assistance. The disabled
ferryboat, the John F. Caple. was then
towed to a place of safety. The ferry,
owing to the damage sustained In the
collision and the flood, will be out of
commission for several weeks.
Crest of Flood Passes.
Last night the crest of the flood bad
passed Portland and the Willamette
River was falling rapidly. The Weather
Office estimates that the river will be be
low V feet by tonight. The gauge
showed 22.2 feet at 7 o'clock Friday
morning and at 1 o'clock had climbed
only .1 of a foot. It remained stationary
until dark, when there was a slight fall
noted. The rtver is falling.
Big Log Jam Brealrs.
At 10 o'clock Thursday night the five
lografts which had been Jammed at the
Madison-street draw pier let go with a
rumble and roar that could be heard for
several blocks. The watchman of the
steamer Joseph Kellogg was on the look
out and when the jam broke he sounded
the alarm by continued blasts of the
steam whistle. Bridge tenders ' were
promptly notified but were helpless.
Luckily the larger portion of the rafts
went safely through and only small jams
formed at the different bridge piers.
These were loosened up during the day.
All trains on the Harriman system were
moving as nearly on schedule yesterday
as it was possible. In many places the
track Is eoft and In others the water
from the freshet has covered the track.
This condition exists for a distance of
about one mile near Oregon City, where
all trains on the main line of the South
ern Pacific yesterday ran through 18
Inches of water. The operation of these
trains under the conditions was possible
only from the fact that all of the engines
used on that road are oil-burners. In
which the oil-burning machinery Is con
siderably higher above the ground than
Is the fire-box in the old coal-burners.

sunning himself on top of Squaw Rock
and was captured before he could offer
any resistance. Three rifles lay beside
him and in his pocket was a loaded pis

guns and various other articles he con

GAS MACHINE IS BLAMED
St. Croix Engineer Smelled Ammonia
Berore Fire Broke Out.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. K. The inqulry
Into the loss of the steamship St. Croix,
destroyed by fire Saturday night near
Santa Monica, began today before United
States Steamboat and Boiler Inspectors
Bolles and Bulger.
Chief Officer Frank Milt, who was the
first to reach the scene of the fire, testi
fied that on opening the door of the sec
ond cabin, where the fire Is supposed to
have originated, he was confronted by a
thick cloud of emote, but did not see
any flames. Milt declared that he was
driven out of the cabin by smoke, and,
leaning against the forward bulkhead,
discovered that it was hot.
Near this bulkhead considerable liquor
was stored, and Milt expressed the belief
that the fire might have originated there,
although the place was lighted by elec
tricity. The bartender of the vessel, who
had a key to the liquor locker, will be
called later.
Chief Engineer Charles E. Lowe, the
last of th officers of the steamship
called to the stand today, testified that
he smelled ammonia five minutes before
the alarm was given. An Investigation,
which he made In the engine-room while
the fire was in progress, disclosed a
broken nipple on an ammonia gas receiver.

Third Mate's Statement That Liquor
Ivocker, Through AYhich Wires
Passed. Was Ablaze, May
Help Solve Mystery.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26. The origin
of the fire that destroyed the steamer
St. Croix off Point Duma on November
20. imperiling the lives of more than 100
passengers and the crew, is as much
mystery as ever, although nearly every
officer of the vessel, several members of
the crew and some of the passengers
were put through a searching examination
today by Federal Inspectors of Steam
Vessels John K. Bulger and O. F. Bolles.
Every question asked by the Inspectors
was framed with the object of eliciting
Information that might indicate the cause
of the disaster, but not a statement was
made that seems to throw any light on
the subject.
Acting upon a letter received from
Los Angeles. Bulger called Martin Nett.
an oiler, as one of the first witnesses.
The letter said that Nett had made -a
statement in the Southern city that he
had an idea how the fire started. Nett
denied that he had ever made such
statement and could add nothing to the
knowledge of the fire already obtained
From the statement of Third Mate
Harry Warner that the fire appeared to
be In the vicinity of the liquor locker
and that some of the electric wiring of
the ship passed through the locker, it
Is possible that a conclusion as to the
cause of the blaze may be drawn. Warner
said that on a former occasion the fuses
had blown out and the ship had been In
darkness.
The examination will be continued to
morrow.
ROBBER KILLED IN FIGHT

idji on a railway speeder. Sheriff Hazen,
Deputy Sheriff Johnson and Policeman

bridge, a mile west of Bemidji, to watch
for them.

W. A. CLARK IS ANTI-TRUST
Prefers, Himself, to Wrork as Indi
vidual, Says ex-Senator."
NEW YORK, 'Nov. 26. "Too much
coming in, and not enough going out;
European consumption of copper is not
keeping pace with American produc
tion," said ex-Senator William A.
Clark today, as he stepped from the
gangway of the inbound steamer Mau
retania. "It is true, copper is selling
too low. but over-production is respon
sible. The normal price should be 15
cents; 13-cent copper is too cheap."
Informed of the recent decision
against the Standard Oil Company, Sen
ator Clark said:
'I'm not surprised. I never believed
in large corporate aggregations of cap
ital, and for myself I have always pre
ferred to work as an individual."
BRIAND REPLIES, TO ABBE
Catholic Attitude Against Compro
mise, Says French Premier.
PARIS. Nov. 26 Premier Briand, in
the Chamber of Deputies, today, replied
to a speech of Abbe Gayraud, member
for Finis-terre, who had defended the
action of the episcopate concerning the
public school question and had voiced
the sympathy of Catholics for the Pope.
"You are) being forced into an attitude
that has become so harmful to this coun
try at home and abroad that your con
sciences as Frenchmen should speak
louder .than your consciences as Catho
lics," the Premier declared. "Warfare
seems to -be essential with some people.
It is now war of the schools. You speak
of the possibility of arriving at a peace
ful compromise, but do you think the
present attitude of Catholics leaders is
conducive to this end?"

folly Converted Into Visitors'
Escort.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26. What threatened
to constitute a tangle of international re
lations marked the arrival of the Mex
ican National Band in Chicago. The
band, recognized as one of the leading
musical organizations .of America, Is to
give concerts afternoon and evening in
the Coliseum until the conclusion of the
Land and Irrigation Exposition on De
cember 4.
The band, numbering half a hundred,
arrived over the Bock Island. Just after
the musicians had climbed down to the
station platform at the end of a long
transcontinental Journey, ofTlclals of the
Roclt Island Road suggested that they
play a piece or two In the station.
Plcoolos and tuba were carefully un
packed and the strains of the Mexican
national air would soon have been waft
ed Into the smoke-laden atmosphere of
the station when there came an unex
pected Interruption.
The secretary of the Mexican Consulate
in Chicago, Fernando fierrano, rushed on
the scene.
Consnl Comes First-
"Hold!" he cried In tones that were
anything but pianissimo.
And not a band man tooted.
"This would be one terrible thing," he
explained exictedly. "You play- here be
fore you play for the Mexican Consul?
No, you must not. Come with me."
Crestfallen musicians packed away their
horns and followed. Serrano led them
to the fifth floor of the Monadnock block.
where la located the Mexican Consulate,
presided over by Augustine Pina. Up the
elevator shafts the musicians were hur
ried, and when they had gathered about
the door of the Consulate they began to
play. It was music such as Chicago
seldom hears.
And an unusual Incident went before.
The manager of the Monadnock block.
learning that the band would play there,
called for an extra detail of police, de
termined that the other occupants of
the building should not be disturbed by
tne salute ror the Mexican Consul.
Police Act as Escort.
But aa luck would have It. the band
train got in ahead of time and the
musicians were playing away beforo mo
police squad arrived.
With more tact than is generally ex
pected in such instances, the police wero
Instantly converted Into an escort body,
lined up at the doors, and waited for the
bandsmen to come away. When they de
scended from the fifth floor the police
acted as an escort while the musicians
were taken to the Lexington Hotel at
Michigan avenue and Twenty -second
street, where they will stay -during the
exposition. .
The band is under the leadership of
Francisco Durau.

the figures ten years ago and now. We
are not exporting food stuffs- as we were.
