11. The New York Times, which has a contract to publish Commander Peary's narratives of the dash to the pole, today published additional cable from the explorer in widen he declares the Roosevelt Is being held up at Battle Harbor for three or four days for coal and overhaul ship and that he does not expect to arrive at Sydney until Sept. 15. In this cable Peary declares that as soon as Cook makes his claims as a discoverer of the pole before a reputable geographical or scientific society he (Peary) will be in a position to furnish material that may prove distinctly interesting reading for the pffblle. In the meantime some of Cook's friends, made angry by Peary's repeated charges, are saying things.

It is intimated by them that perhaps Peary was the man who did not get to the pole; that he found Cook had been there ahead of -him and left, whereupon Peary turned about and hurried back home, hoping to reach civilization first, claim the discovery and make good on his "contracts as a newspaper story writer. NORWAY FAVORS COOK. Thinks Peary's Copyrighted Story Only Confirms Doctor's Claims. CHKISTIANIA. Norway, Sept.

11. Scenes almost rivaling those that greeted Dr. F. A. Cook on his arrival In Copenhagen a week ago were presented today when tho steamer Mel-choir, bearing the explorer, steamed Into pott.

Every craft In the harbor was decked in flags, and the town also is gay with flags and bunting. The mayor of Christianla headed the welcoming committee and presented an address to the doctor, expressing the admiration and congratulations, of all Norwegians. In replv Dr. Cook presented his regret that circumstances would cut short hi stay here, as he wished to sail today on the Oscar II. of the Scandinavian-American line for New York.

The arrival of Dr. Cook has Increased the Scandinavians' belief In the correctness of his discovery claims. The general opinion here Is that Commander Peary has strengthened Cook's claims by his own narrative and will have a hard time in undermining Cook's statements. His Debt to Norwegians.

I saw a new route to the pole, but told nobody. Opportunity came to try the route. and Peary seams angry because I did not ask his permission.

Sept. 11 'Hie Arctic club of America has planned a banquet to be presided over by Admiral Schley, to which Cook and Peary will be invited. The banquet will be held in the ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria, the guests numbering upwards of 1.000. The club sent the same congratulations to both' Cook end Peary, but the membership includes many of Cook's supporters. It stated by members that Cook will be the principal guest, as he is one of tne ciuo members and was considered to have arrived at the pole first.

The Peary Arctic club, a distinct organjzation. is also planning receptions and banquets to champion. Commander Peary has sent no word to the Peary Arctic club in amplifi- cation of his despatches branding Cook's claim to having first discovered the pole as an attempt to force a "gold biick" upon the public. General Thomas If. Hubbard, president of the club, while f'rmly convinced of the good produced by" Peary.

Is not inclined to take his challenge of Cook's claim as a categorical declaration based upon pi-oof that Cook did not reach the pole. He said: "I don't know whether he did or not. Hut I understand Pearv's attitude. Kearful, no doubt, lest institutions like the University of Copenhagen and Geographical societies Mould take Cook's statements for framed and accord him recognition J'hich they later could not well withdraw, he sounded a warning.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11. Enforcement ot the Illinois ten-hour law for working women, which went into effect Jul 1, was today prohibited by a circuit court injunction, when Judge Tuthil! enjoined State Factory inspector Davies from prosecuting employers who work women more than ten hours a day.

The suit was brought by a loohl paper box company and two of its women -employes, who made affidavits that they had worked for the firm 32 and 16 years respectively and uere unable to earn living wages unless permitted to work more than ten hours.

The decision of the court was based on the theory that the law denies women their constitutional rights to make individual-contracts and work us they please.

11. tion of Louis Frank, the wealthy saloonkeeper and -politician who is the principal witness against Police In spector McCann, on trial charged with "grafting," continued todav. Frank admitted that he visited the state's attorney's office last evening ana was told what corrections to make In his previous testimony. He also talked with Morris Shatz. another witness, and with his brother Julius.

Frank also admitted that he talked about what testimony he would give today. J. Hamilton Lewis, attorney for the defense, demanded of Frank whether he had not attempted to bribe Jlc Cann predecessors and engineered removals of other police officials, also whether such officers who refused to do his bidding were removed from the force or transferred. Lewis also attempted to induce the witness to confess that he had. taken part In distribution of a petition call ing upon the mayor to remove McCann.

To every question Frank shouted denials. Frank Tells of the System. Frank's testimony had laid bare what he alleged was a perfectly organized system of collecting graft from resort keepers and fallen women in Inspector McCann's police district. The first of his testimony was that he was the official collector for Inspector McCann In the Desplaines street police district; that be regularly paid McCann the money he had collected the first of every month; that McCann caused the arrest of one resort keeper who refused to "pay up:" that McCann had to be paid J250 before he would free the same resort keeper; that Frank continued his collections for five or six months; that the alleged graft sometimes amounted to $475 a month; that McCann caused the arrest of women on the streets and released them after they had paid from $10 to $20 each; that McCann ordered Frank to force one of Tils woman tenants to move when she did not "pay up," and then made Frank pay him $100 for getting rid of her; that one man who was operating a respectable hotel had to pay McCann $50 before he could get a license for his place. The witness also ldentifed a number of checks which he alleged had been cashed by him, declaring the prceeds were paid to McCann as protection money.

Just before the court adjourned Bernard P. Donnelly, said to be a brother-in-law of McCann. was seized bythree detectives from the state's attorney's office and dragged from his position near the jury box, and hurried to State's Attorney Wayman's office. There, it is said. he was charged with having attempted to influence the jury by nodding and smiling at one of the jurors.

Donnelly denied that he had tried to communicate with the jurors. After a close examination by Wayman he was allowed to go. Sum Anti-Saloon Sleuth. SPRiN'OFlELD. Sept.

CASE YET Friends of Murdered Girl Maintain That She Accused No Particular One. DETROIT.

Sept. 11. After a week of gruelling experience in the hands of the police, Martha Henning, friend and companion of Maybelle Millman. whose dismembered body was recovered from Ecorse Creek, tonight was released from detention and sent to her home at Ann Arbor. Miss Henning sent the Millman girl to a doctor for treatment, but has convinced the police she has revealed all she knew.

Detectives now believe Miss Millman mentioned no man who might be involved as abbetting her surgical treatment, but that she assure.d the Henning girl and the other woman just before she visited the physician's office that she "accused r.o one of being responsible for her predicament." It was learned that a man ran up from the creek at midnight a week ago and leaped into a wagon driven by two farmers. He appeared excited and asked them to drive faster, as he wanted to overtake an automobile. He rode a short distance, then Jumped and ran to an automobile standing by the road. This corroborates other information that the maiv: jrjven a wtk from Ecorse creek" stopped on the bridge after extinguishing "the head lights of the automobile. It was this time, the police believe, that the gunny sacks containing the body were thrown into the creek.

Operation "Sot XecCMftnry. The bitterest revelation Is that May-belle Millman may have died because of a mere illusion, as her anxiety becaitie desperaUon and conviction. The physicians have not stated definitely that her condition did not warrant her application for surgical attention, but merely state that they have found no evidence of such a condition in their examination. "I believe her case was merely a psychological Illness." said a prominent Detroit physician today. "I think Miss Millman only believed she was sick: She became worried, fretted over her supposed illness, and finally consulted a physician and was made ready for an operation before the doctor had thoroughly examined her.

She died under the anaesthetic given her in the preparatory process." Though all the physicians agree that every preparation was made for an operation It has been impossible for them to reach. a concerted decision as to whether "she died during the operation or from an overdose of an anaesthetic just previous. Crime Done Anyway, Say Police. Captain of Detectives McDonnell, who throughout the Maybelle Millman case has given his closest attention to mak ing a case against a physician and lert the investigation of the man primarily responsible for her alleged condition to the sheriff's office, today made the strongest statement he has made yet regarding the findings of the physlciansj examining Maybelle Millman body. "We do not care." he said, "whether there was an operation or not.

or. more over, whether there was any incentive for an operation. The theory that the girl died on an operating table remains unshaken and the cutting up of the body plainly reveals the intent to conceal a crime. "Incidentally. I might say we are not looking for any other physician than Dr.

Fitch, now In custody." GOVERNMENT FINDS NO BASIS FOR ACTION State Laws, However, Were Violated in Pressed Steel Car Strike. WASHINGTON, Sept- 11. Acting Attorney General Ellis today addressed letters to the governors of New York and Pennsylvania, submitting evidence taking In the Investigation of the Pressed Steel Car company strike, at Pittsburg. Ellis announced It does not appear that a prosecution for violation of federal statutes can be sustained, but that the testimony tended to show violations oT the New York and Pennsylvania laws. Ellis advises the governors that the evidence showed that employment agencies induced men to go to Mo-Kees Rock to take places of strikers without telling them where they were going or the nature of the work and without giving the written contracts as required under the state laws.

The department advises the govern ors that the agencies' licenses may be revoked, or the agencies prosecuted. or both. Two Roosevelt Sons Sail. CHERBOURG, Sept. 11.

"Pernicious and oedema of the lungs was chief cause of liarriman's death as officially slated tonight by Dr. I.yle In the death certificate filed in the town clerk's office at Highland Mills.

There was no mention of cancer, but it was noted the word "chief" was inserted in the printed form after the question "cause of death." Anaemia Is an imporverished condition of the blood, pernicious anaemia, therefore is a severe fcrm of that disease. Dr. Lyle said: "The nature of Harriman's disease does not concern the public and as far as I'm concerned it never will be reported. Harriman himself did not know from what malady he was suffering. The disease was clearly enough defined for correct diagnosis and of that the family was informed.

There was no occasion to satisfy any one else." Lyle said he did not believe Dr. Stumpel made the statement attributed him that Harriman's disease was cancer. ALL HARRIJIA.V ROADS TP. Lines. In Which Magnate Wm Interested Honor Him Today.

NEW YORK. Sept 11. TTie action of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroad swsteins In suspending operations for five minutes during the funeral of Edward H. Harriman, Sunday afternoon, will be followed by most of the other railroads In which the financier was interested and by other interests. The Erie Railroad and the Delaware Hudson "Railroad, it was said, would join the Western Harriamn lines in the stoppage of trains at the hour of the funeral, and it was thought that tne Illinois Central would also show the same mark of respect.

For these five minutes on Sunday afternoon not a wheel will be turning on any part of the 15 000 miles comprising the Union and Southern Pacific sj'stems and the same quiet, may be ordered on other systems included in the 65.000 miles of railroad which, to a greater or less degree, were under the domination of E. H. Harriman. The last time such a mark of respect was shown to transportation systems of the country was on the occasion of the funeral of President McKinley. It was yesterday that no such cessation of railroad operation on the scale on which it Is to be done on Sunday was ever ordered for any private Individual.

Taft today appointed a tariff commission which will assist him in the execution of the new tariff law, with especial reference to applying the maximum and minimum clauses to nations which are unfriendly or friendly In tariff relations with the United States. The commissioners, who were selected by Secretary MacVeagh, are Professor Henry C. Emery of Yale, chairman; James B. Reynolds of Massa chusetts, now assistant secretary of the treasury; Alvln H. Sanders of Chicago, editor and proprietor of the Breeders' Gazette.

The following statement was given out tonight: "The President and the secretary of the treasury agreed that these gentle men are to constitute the board and are given authority to employ such special experts as will be needed in the investigation of foreign and domestic tariffs." The house tariff bill originally pro vlded that the commission should ad vise both the President and 'congress on technical tariff questions. The sen ate so amended this that the commissioners' duties are limited to assisting the President In the administration of the section relating to maximum and minimum rates. At the time of the tariff fight at Washington the President Indicated he was unconcerned about limitations imposed by the senate and left' the. im pression that Vhe commission wouia do able to do all that the tariff framers nrterinallv intended.

Beverly was crowded as never before this afternoon when Taft, from a stand erected In front of the city hall, review a parade of 1.600 Grand Army men of nosts of this vicinity. Crowds in cluding visitors from neighboring towns about the review stand at one time became unmanageable and there was serious danger for a time that women and children would be Injured. The police tried vainly to stretch ropes to hold back the crowd, but the efforts only resulted in women and chil dren being roughly handled. When the president and Governor DraDer entered the reviewing stand a throng blocked the street so that it appeared the parade would have to be abandoned. After the crowd caught sight of the president, however, and cheered several minutes, better order prevailed.

Secret service men accompanying the president took a hand and besides rescuing a number of women and children from the crush, helped to get a passage way open. The Grand Army squeezed through two abreast for a time, but finally there was sufficient room for colv.mns of four to march by. When the last oi the veterans had passed there was a secon 1 rush about the presidents stand in antuipauon of a speech. The president, however, bowed his way out. Taft was the first contributor to the buildinsr fund of the Beverly T.
