luncheon tendered him at the Brooklyn
Club yesterday. Commander R. E.
Peary, who sailed for Europe, today, ex

Rot back to civilization I had the full
est information of what had been done
by another in the Arctic regions and
when and where, and what would be
claimed by this man. The telegrams I
sent which caused me to be criticised
were sent deliberately and after full
consideration. That was my position.
1 knew that a deliberate attempt was
to be made to defraud the country, mor
ally and financially, and as an officer
of the United States Navy I felt I must
give warning to the country and that
I owed it to myself also to give warn
ing that I might escape a charge of
being an accessory to the crime. My
position is still unchanged and will not
be changed ' hereafter."

tion and Even Politics.
(Continued from First Page.)
and Italy, and then Bjornson went
back to Norway for ten years.
It was during these ten years that
he found himself. He began the series,
of plays which conquered" the Nor
wegian stage, and - also--' iavaded the
Danish, Swedish and German theaters.
All the while he was pouring out
volumes of short stories, fables, poems,
long- novels and critical essays. Part
of the time he was editor of the Norsk
Kolkeblad, and for two years he was
director of the Christiania Theater. He
left this latter place because he was
not allowed to have his own way.
As Bjornson grew older he went Into
politicsJalmost in spite of himself and
always as a refotxner, leading at one
time a conspicuous movement against
Swedish domination of Norway. In
later years he became almost as well
known an apostle of universal peace as
is Tolstoi himself.
Works Are Famous.
In 1908 his celebration of his golden
wedding was the occasion for" general
good wishes.
Among the best known of his works
which have been translated Into Eng
lish are "Synnove Solbakken," "The
Klsher Lass," "The Bridal March," "In
Gods Way," "A Gauntlet," "The Herit
age of the Kurts." "Pastor's Song,"
"Paul Lange," "Arne," "Laboremus,"
"Magnhild." "A Happy Boy" and "Cap
tain Mansana."
Bjornsen was a linguist, speaking
Knglish, French, German and Italian
fluently, as well as the Scandinavian
languages. His journalistic style was
as incisive as a sword cut; his dramas
of modern life are better adapted to
the stage than Ibsen's, and his verse
has all the lyric quality of Tennyson,
without losing the Norse vigor.
INSURGENTS RIP UP-BILL
(Continued from First Pagre.)
around neck he made his way to the
floor, arriving In time to pass between
the tellers.
Madison, of Kansas, an insurgent,
offered an amendment reducing from 60
to seven days the period during which
an order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission might be suspended by the
Commerce Court pending application to
the court for its Injunction In certain
cases. The insurgents very generally
voted for the amendment, which was car
ried, 138 to 124.
The Commerce Court provision had not
been disposed of when Mann, of Illinois,
in charge of the bill, moved to lay the
measure aside for the day."
When the railroad bill is finally re
ported from the committee of the whole
to the House, any or all of the amend
ments adopted today may again be voted
on and a roll call on any vote may de
demanded.
Dictation, Cries Clapp.
During the debate in the Senate on the
railroad bill, Clapp, referring -to what he
characterized as Crawford's "frantic ap
peal" to the Roosevelt policies in support
of -his amendment, declared Roosevelt
never had attempted to dictate to his
party. Next to Lincoln, no man had
ever so accurately interpreted the public
will, nor had been so far from- attempt
at dictation as had Mr. Roosevelt, h
said.
Holding at arm's length a copy of
the railroad bill, Clapp declared that
Mr. Roosevelt never had sent to Con
gress a "document like that, with or
ders to put it through."
The evil time had come after Mr.
Roosevelt's retirement and when a
few men in Congress had undertaken
to trample on rights of the people and
to arrogate to themselves the right to
say what should be done, he declared.
No harmony could be expected from
such action. The Republican party
never had resided in the White House,
nor Capitol, but was found in the
country at large.
Clapp said he believed the American
people still were reluctant to give up
the Republican party, and thought if
Congress would pass acceptable rail
road and savings bank bills, and give
l!JOHS.
the public a tariff commission, the
party still might be saved.
Hughes Makes Sweeping Attack.
Hughes made a sweeping attack on
the railroad bill.
"It is not statesmanship." he said,
"to urge through great measures like
this without argument or explanation.
The people have a. right to ask greater
consideration when their interests are
so materially affected."
Hughes criticised the provision creat
ing a court of commerce because such a
court was not necessary. He contended,
as far as transportation was concerned,
the bill repealed the anti-trust law. He
thought the bill especially objectionable,
as it delegates legislative authority to
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Arguing that under the operation of
the proposed law the smaller roads would
have no chance, he declared railroad
construction, except by large systems,
would be out of the question. He said
It would be especially hurtful In the de
velopment of the "Great West." He said
the Attorney-General in his testimony
explained how the proposed law would
be evaded. Declaring It would not apply
to interstate roads, the Attorney-General,
according to Hughes, had said that
in the case of roads crossing a state line
different issues of stock could be put out
for each state.
"I asked him why go to all the
trouble?" said Hughes, "but I am still'
waiting for the reply."
Ilan-iman's Hopes Realized.
Referring to the many constructions
placed upon section 12 of the bill relat
ing to the construction of railroad lines,
Hughes said there should be a commis
sion to determine its meaning. He con
tended the testimony of Mr. Harriman
before the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion had supplied the platform from
which the pending bill had been con
structed. "He pointed out the way of remov
ing the obstacles in his continent
wide ambition," continued Hughes,
"and ere the grass is green on his
grave we have a bill removing all the
obstacles of which he complained. A
bargain, we are out-traded; the things
we get are trifling compared with the
advantage we concede to great rail
roads. But one disposition should be
made of it and that is its absolute and
unqualified rejection."
Is Anti-Trust Law Suspended.
Heyburn attempted to refute the
contentions that the Crawford amend
ment had the effect of repealing the
Sherman anti-trust law as affecting
railroads. Cummlngs challenged the
correctness of Heyburn's position. He
asserted the purpose of the provision
was to render lawful that which was
not unlawful.
In response Aldrlch coincided with
the views expressed by Heyburn to the
extent of asserting that under the pro
posed law any agreement in restraint
of trade would be unlawful, notwith
standing the proposed law.
Cummins would not assent, declaring
there had been no other idea in fram
ing the provision than to render the
railroads immune from the anti-trust
law. He declared the provision would
be of no vail If it did not legalize
acts now considered illegal it would
be without object.
MANY ACRES TO BENEFIT
Figures Show Great Possibilities of
Klickitat Canal.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. April 26.
.Special.) The big Klickitat irrigation
canal will water upwards of 300,000
acres, drain an area of 175.900 acres and
furnish & continuous flow of 12500 cubic
feet of water per second, the year
around. These figures, and maps for the
first 42 miles of the ditoh, were filed in
the North Yakima Land Office today.
The canal will start in the Little
Klickitat canyon, just east of Mount
Adams; will follow near the river for
about 40 miles and then veer eastward
toward the Horse Heaven country. The
preliminary survey of 110 miles brings it
near the glade south of Mabton.
There will be two tunnels in the first
40 miles, each over two miles in length.
The rest of the ditch is open, compris
ing cement-lined canal and flumes.
Water Is to be stored in a series of res
ervoirs, the first of which will be in
the Klickitat canyon. The dam will be
26 feet high and 676 feet long. The
water of several of the upper tributaries
will be caught and carried by canals to
this reservoir. There will be stored 852,
122 acre feet of water.
The filing of the maps today with the
complete survey of over 40 .miles of canal
indicates that the biggest irrigation
project in Washington Is now well un
der way.
Elks Form Antlers Club.
MMINNVILLE, Or., April 26. (Spe

under state law the Antlers Club of
McMlnnvllle, membership in which is

this city will form the club.
With Defeat of Aldridge by Havens
In G. O. P. Stronghold, Demo
crats Are Encouraged to Plan
Sweep of Entire State.
BY LLOYD F. LOSERQAN.
NEW YORK. April 26. (Special.)
Encouraged by the repudiation of
George Washington Aldridge in Mon
roe County, the Democratic Congres
sional Committee has planned to pay
a great deal of attention to conditions
in New York State this Fall.
Chairman Lloyd was In town the
other day, and held secret conferences
with a number of Democrats. To show
the union that exists at present, it
might be stated that he met men of
such widely different shades of opin
ion as Mayor Gaynor, State Chairman
Connera, Edward M. Shepard. Thomas
Osborne, of the Democratic Reformers;
President of the Board of Aldermen
Mltchel and National Committeeman
Norman E. Mack.
Every one promised to do all in his
power to bring about the nomination
of high-class' men this Fall. Mr. Lloyd,
although he did not give out an Inter
view, and In fact tries to keep his
trfp a secret, is very . optimistic. In
fact, he went so far as to say, "there
is not a single Republican Congress
man from New York State who is cer
tain of being re-elected this Fall."
Trouble Stirred tp.
There is no denying the fact that
the defeat of Aldridge has stirred up
trouble for other leaders all over the
state. Already the enemies of the
"Old Guard" are lining up in opposi
tion, and the result promises to be the
retirement of several of the old tim
ers, who have sat in Congress so long
that they believe they have a mort
gage on the Job.
Probably the liveliest fight of them
all centers around the head of Sereno
E. Payne, chairman of the House com
mittee on ways and means, and in
point of service one of the oldest mem
bers of Congress. For a generation
Mr. Payne has been one of those, for
tunate officeholders who never had to
make a campaign. The nomination
came to him by acclamation. The dis
trict was so strongly Republican that
the election was a mere formality.
Year after year, it Is alleged, Payne
has grown further and further away
from his constituents. And year after
year he has gathered a few more ene
mies. Payne's first name should be "Aus
tere." His manner is cold and for
bidding, and he never thaws out on
any pretext. No one has heard of him
making a joke. If he smiles, he first
locks the doors. But for term after
term he has- gone back to Washington.
Recently, despite the cares of Con
gress, Mr. Payne has found it con
venient to make hurried trips to his
home in Auburn. There is an under
current of unrest and dissatisfaction
that has even made itself felt by the
veteran Representative.
The opposition to Payne can be
roughly described as1 made up of
Hughes' Republicans, Insurgent Re
publicans, and offended constituents.
The last named class are particularly
vociferous in voicing " their feelings,
but the others are also on the job.
The offended "constlts" say that
they have been grossly humiliated on
occasions that they have visited Wash
ington. Their Congressman, they say,
has failed to aid them in expediting
their business, has shown them abso
lutely no courtesies, and frequently has
sent word that he is too busy to see
the "home folks." All of which has
not enhanced his popularity.
The Hughes men oppose Payne be
cause he was the political side partner
of ex-State Senator Ben Wilcox, who
was forced out of public life because
he did not vote for the bill to end race
track gambling, two sessions ago. At
the time-of the last Senatorial conven
tion in the district, Payne tried to save
Wilcox, but failed.
The Insurgent Republicans, and there
are a lot of them this year, declare that
Payne ia only a little bit worse than
"Joe" Cannon, whose first lieutenant he
is. These Insurgents declare that Payne
must be defeated "as an object lesson."
The trouble with this reasoning accord
ing to the regulars is that there are so
many "object lessons" planned, that if all
Bucceed there will be no Republicans in
the House.
John W. Dwight, another veteran New
York Republican, is also having his
troubles. Dwight's closeness to the Can
non machine has hurt him, and he has
also gained undesired notoriety by being
the political sponsor of State Senator
Benn Conger, whose expose of legislative
conditions created so much uproar this
year.
Dwight's district consists of five up
state counties, and to quote one of the
Congressman's friends, "hell is loose in
every one of them."
Machine Misuses Conger.
To specify, Tompkins County is the
home of Benn Conger. Despite the
revelations at Albany, Conger has many
friends who think he was misused by the
"machine." Another county in the dis
trict is Chenango, the home of Senate
Leader J. P. Allds, who was bounced
on the ABds testimony. Senator Harvey
Hinman comes from Broome County. He
is the Hughes man who was ordered
chosen to succeed Alrds as Stenate leader,
the edict being sent from Washington by
United States Senator Root. Hinman was
not elected, by the way.
In Tioga County, where the late Thomas
C. Piatt always maintained a voting
residence, the Old Guard 3 have been
routed, and reformers run the "machine. '
They do no-, like Dwight. The fifth
county on the list is Cortlandt, where
the reform forces are already demanding
the head of Dwight, served 1'a la John
the Baptist." '
- Representative Drlscoll, of Syracuse, is
another unhappy man these days. When
Cannon was whipped in the house on the
motion to amend the rules, Drlscoll stuck
to the regulars. Immediately there were
loud cries from his home town. Drlscoll
attempted to fix things, and when the
matter of an auto for the Speaker came
up the Syracuse man lined up with the
insurgents.
And now he seems to e "in bad" all
around. The machine men criticise him
for changing sides, and the insurgents de
clare that he is not really one of them
at heart. The upshot of the matter is
that Drlscoll may fail to land even a
nomination. And his town is so indepen
dent, that, even the big normal majority
may not save him if he is named.
Congressman William H. Draper, of
Troy, finds that his party will have to
hustle to re-elect him. Representative

Congressman Herbert Parsons only had

There are two out-and-out insurgents

Fish, of Putnam, who represents a num
ber of the Hudfon River counties, the
other is Otto Foelker, of Brooklyn. What

When digestion is perfect the fluids

When such a conditiwn exists each

organs. The meal should strengthen
the juices, but on the contrary it
weakens them, so that man by the very

which of themselves bring him pain
and loathing for the next meal.
