EVENTS AT NORTH POLE
. TOLD BY MATT. HENSON
Peary's Colored Lieutenant Nar
rates Interesting Incidents.
NIGHT SPENT IN SNOW HOUSES
Observations in Morning Indicated
, Goal Was Only 150 Yards From
Its Tentative Location Flag
Cheered by Eskimos.
Battle Harbor, Labrador. "We
hoisted the Stars and Stripes twice at
the North Pole," said Matthew Hen
'son. He is Commander Robert E.
Peary's colored lieutenant and the
only other civilized man, according to
Commander Peary, who ever reached
the pole.
Henson gave an account of the one
night and two days he and Comman
der Peary and four Eskimos, camped
at ninety degrees north latitude. He
personally assisted in raising the
American, flag, and he led the Eski
mos in the cheers, with an extra cheer
for Old Qlory in Eskimo.
"Having, spent eighteen years with
Commander Peary and a considerable
portion of that time in the arctic,"
said Henson, "I have acquired a
knowledge of the dialect of the North
ern Greenland Eskimos, who are prob
ably superior to any other. As is
commonly known to travelers in the
Far North, the Eskimo entertains a
strange prejudice toward any tongue
but one, and it is therefore necessary,
for successful dealing with them, to
study their unwritten language.
"We arrived at the pole just before
noon on April 6. the party' consisting
of the Commander, myself, four Es
kimos, and thirty-six dogs, divided
into two detachments equal in num
ber, and headed respectively by Com
mander Peary and myself. We had
left the last supporting party at eighty-seven
degrees fifty-three minutes,
where we separated from Captain
Bartlett. who was photographed by
the -Commander. Captain Bartlett
regretted that he did not have a Brit
ish flag to erect on the ice at this spot
so that the photograph might show
this as the farthest north to which
the banner of England had been ad
vanced. I kept a, personal diary dur
ing this historic dash across the ice
field.
"Our first task on reaching the
pole was to build two igloos, as the
weather was hazy and prevented tak
ing accurate observations to confirm
the distance traveled from Cape Col
umbia. Having completed the snow
houses we had dinner, which included
tea made on our alcohol stove, and
then retired to rest, thus sleeping one
night at the North Pole.
"The arctic sun was shining when
I awoke and found the Commander
already up. There was only wind
enough to blow out the small flags.
The ensigns were hoisted toward noon
from tent poles and tied with fish
lines. .
"We had figured out the distance
pretty closely and did not go beyond
the pole. The flags were up about
midday April 7 and were not moved
until late that evening. The haze had
cleared away early, but we wanted
some hours to take observations. -We
made three close together.
"When we first raised the Ameri
can flag its position was behind the
igloos which, according to our initial
observations, was the position of the
pole, but on taking subsequent obser
vations the Stars and Stripes were
moved and placed 150 yards west of
the first position, the difference in the
observations being due perhaps to the
moving ice.
When the flag was placed Com-
mander Peary exclaimed in English:
" 'We will plant the Stars and
Strines at the North Pole.'
"In the native language I proposed
three cheers, which were given in the
Eskimos' own tongue. Commander
Peary shopk hands all around, and
we had a more liberal dinner than
usual, eat'i man eating as much as he
pleased.
'The Eskimos danced about and
showed great pleasure that the pole
at last was reached. For years the
Eskimos had been trying to reach that
SDot. but it was always with them
'tiquelgK' which, translated, means,
'get so far and no closer.' They ex-
claimed in a chorus, 'Ting neigh tim
ah ketisher,' meaning, 'We have sot
there at last "
Henson said conditions were about
the same at the pole as elsewhere in
the arctic circle. All was a solid sea
of ice. except for a two-foot lead of
open water two miles from the pole.
The Eskimos who went along on
the final lap were Ootah, Egrngwah,
Ouzaueeah and Sislco, the two first
being brothers. Commander Peary
took photographs of Henson and the
Eskimos waving flags and cheering.

WOMEN KILL EACH OTHER
With Knife and Revolver Have Fa
tal Struggle in Chicago Flat
Mrs. Julius Tripp and Sifcor-in-lar,
Mrs. Jacob Silvers, of New York,
Dead as Result.
Chicago. Two screaming women,
both wounded, called for help from
the' first floor apartment at 5609
Prairie avenue. When neighbors
rushed into the flat they found one
woman dead, 'writh eleven bullet holes
in her body, and the other uncon
scious with a bullet wound in her
breast and a knife cut across her fore
head. She died a few hours later.
Mrs. Julius Tripp, who, with her
husband, lived in the flat, was the
dead woman. She was lying fully
dressed on the floor of a front bed
room, her clothing torn almost
shreds. The other woman was her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Jacob Silvers, of
New York. She was attired only in a
night dress, and was lying on her
back cn a bed in an adjoining bed
room. Beside her was a new revol
ver. Mrs. Silvers died at the Washing
ton Park Hospital at 10 p. m., and be
fore dying confessed she had killed
her sister-in-law.
The rooms in which the fight oc
curred were found in confusion. Fur
niture was wrecked and pictures lay
on the floor, indicating that the strug
gle between the women was a long
and desperate one.
Between periods of delirium in the
hospital before her death Mrs. Silvers
said that she and her sister-in-law had
quarreled over household matters.
"I made up my mind to kill her
with an axe," the woman said, "and
then I came to the conclusion I would
use a revolver."
Relatives of the two women bear
out the belief that Mrs. Silvers was
not of sound mind.

BANDIT PARDONED BY TAFT.
L. A. Potter, Who Held Up Stage
Coach in Brdvado, Freed.
Washington, D. C. After twenty
four years' imprisonment for a boyish
bit of bravado L. A. Potter, a "lifer"
in the Leavenworth penitentiary, has
been pardoned by President Taft.
Potter was an Illinois Vad Wp
went to Texas, became a cowboy, and
in 1885, after drinking too much one
night, held up a stage coach. He
made no attempt to harm any one
and got away with only $9. But he
was convicted and sentenced to life
imprisonment.
He is now fifty and broken in
health. One of his hold-up victims,
Mrs. J. W. White, wife of the presi
dent of the German National Bank of
Mason, Texas, has been trying for
years to have him pardoned, and her
efforts have succeeded.
TWO DIE IN PISTOL FIGHT.
Neither Victim Lives Long Enough to
T-n ww nfli wo a,
Necsho, Mo. Two deaths resulted
from a fight with revolvers between
Kenry W. Estes and Ben Marshall on
the streets of Newonia, a village
twelve miles east of here.
Neither lived long enough to tell
what the quarrel was about.
Estes was a large dealer in cattle.
Marshall came from a good family,
but in recent years had a bad reputa
tion. He was quarrelsome, and had
been in court several times,, once for
attempting to kill a man.
Estes came to town and met Mar
shall. A quarrel was started by Mar
shall, and both m"en drew revolvers
and ran into the street. Each fired
one shot and both fell mortally
wounded.

F H. HARRIMAN'S ESTATE
LEFT TO HIS WIDOW
Brief Will Makes Her One of
World's Richest Women.
$100,000,000 PROPERTY VALUE
Only One Named in the 90-Word
Will Stocks and Bonds May
Have Been Transferred Before
Death to Save Inheritance Tax.
New York City. E. H. Harriman,
in his will, which was filed for pro
bate at Goshen, Orange County, N. Y.,
left all his property, real and per
sonal, to his wife, Mary W. Harrinaac,
The estate is variously estimated at
between $20,000,000 and 100000,
000. Mrs. Harriman was also ap
rodnted executrix, without any re
Afictions. The document, which was made
public by Charles A. Peabody, presi
dent of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, who is understood to hare
drawn up the will and was one of th
witnesses, contained just ninety-nine
words and was probably one of the
shortest wills on record considering
the .value of the estate involved. It
was dated June 8, 1903, and was as
follows :
I, Edward H. Harriman, of Arden,
in the State of New York, do make,
publish and declare this as and for
my last will and testament, that is to
say:
I give, devise and bequeath. all of
my property, real and personal of
every kind and nature, to my wife,
Mary W. Harriman, to be hers abso
lutely and forever, and I do hereby
nominate and appoint the said Mary
W. Harriman to be executrix of this
Will.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
st my hand and seal this eighth day
of June in the year nineteen hundred
and three,.
Signed. 1
EDWARD H. HARRIMAN.
Signed, sealed, pablished and de
clared by the testator as and for his
last will and testament in our pres
ence, who at his request and in his
presence, and in the presence of each
other, have each of us hereunto sub
scribed our names as witnesses.
Signed. 1
CHARLES A. PEABODY,
C. C. TEGETHOFF.
C. C. Tegethoff, who, with Mr. Pea
body, witnessed the will, was Mr. Har
riman's private secretary.
If the highest estimates of the
value of the estate are correct, the
will makes Mrs. Harriman one of the
richest women in the world, if not the
richest. The only other women who
are regarded as her possible rivals
for that honor are Mrs. Russell Sage,
whose wealth has been estimated at
$80,000,000; Mrs. Frederick C. Pen
field, whose fortune has been also es
timated at that amount, and Mrs.
Hetty Green, who is believed to be
worth anywhere from $40,000,000 to
$100,000,000.
Since no provision is made for Mr.
Harriman's two sons and three
daughters it is believed that he pro
vided for them before his death. The
children are Mrs. Robert Livingston
Gerry, who was Miss Cornelia Harri
man; William Averill Harriman, Miss
Mary Harriman, Miss Caroline Harri
man and Roland Harriman.
Among some of Mr. Harriman's
closest friends it is believed that dur
ing hia last illness he gave large
blocks of railroad stocks to each of
his children and to a number of his
close business associates and em
ployes.
TAFT DEFENDS TARIFF LAW.
Says All of It is Good But the Wool
Schedule.
Winona, Minn. President Taft de
livered his defense of the Payne
tariff bill here. .
It was the speech for which the
country has been waiting ever since
he affixed his signature to the bill.
The President talked frankly and
fearlessly to his audience.
He pointed out the things in the
law that he does not like and arrayed
against them its good points.
On the whole he conceived It the
best tariff law the Republican party
has ever passed, and therefore the
best ever enacted in this country, and
as he views the law it is on the whole
a revision downward in accordance
with his own and the party pledges.
He acknowledged that the wool
schedule is too high and ought to
have been reduced, yet the fact was
deplorable, as it seemed to him, that
the interests of the wool products of
the West and the woolen manufac
turers of the East were so strongly
intrenched in Congress that to have
insisted on a reduction of the woolen
schedule would have defeated the en
tire bill.
For. President Tft to hav6 vetoed
the bill would, in his opinion, not only
have demoralized the party but de
stroyed all chance for the accomplish
ment of other reforms to which he
and the Republican party were
pledged. The President spoke with
great earnestness when he came to
this part of his speech. It was ap
parent that he had felt the sting of
the criticism of his signing the bill.
Harriman's Grave Impregnable.
The grave of E. H. Harriman at
Arden, N. Y., has been covered with
a great mound of concrete, which will
be reinforced with three tons of steel.
Spencer F. Eddy Resigas.
Spencer F. Eddy, of Chicago, has
sent in his resignation as Minister to
Roumania and Servia. His decision
is due chiefly te continued illness in
his family. Mrs. Eddy, who is in
Paris, has not been well enough to
join her husband. f

NORTH STATE TOBACCO CROP
-
Reports Gathered From Sec"
tiona and Briefly Stated.
In response to a request by the
News and Observer of Raleigh, many
reports on the tobacco crop have beeiri
sent in and published.
From Martin county the report in,
part is: The acreage of to
bacco in the county was increas
ed this year about 5 per cent,
perhaps with an eager -sxpectation of
becoming rich, on account of rains
which were so numerous during the
early summer. The crop this year
will amount to 40 per cent less than
the crop of last year. The yild will
be about five hundred pounds to the
acre, while last year the average yield
was eight hundred and fifty, or there
about. The Reidsville report says: The
average this year is about the same,
or less, than last year. In pounds,
tobacco is considerably less, although
it makes up in appearance, for it is
all light in color very little mahog
any to be had.
The Henderson reporter says: The
crop of tobacco in Vance county is
about as follows : Acreage as com
pared with last year, 105 per eent.
Quality as compared with last year,
75, per cent. Quantity as compared
with last year, 75 per cent. Prices
here are much improved and the
farmers are better pleased.
The report from Greenville sajs, the
tcbaiyo acreage in Prtt county this
yar ii only slightly increased over
last yi'hi not more than 10 tc 12
per cent. The guality of offerings up
to this time has been very poor, the
first primings or sand lugs and tips
consist uting probably 90 per cent
of the sales.
A Rocky Mount reporter sa.s:
U is .evident that the fferifjr6 ou
the it pJ market from Nash and Etigr
oombe counties and otMo.s as well are
as a " hole inferior to what was sold
here last year. It seems that
the tobacco this year falls short in
weight, and is light and thin and
while tips and good itsafc'.have norcJ
a slij,1;! improvement in quality as
what was offered last month, these
are sliU short ,of the standard.
The Kinston reporter says in part :
The acreage of the tobacco crop this
season in Lenoir and those counties
tributary to this market is about one
eighth larger than that of last year.
It is estimated that about a million
and a half pounds of the weed will
be marketed here in excess of the
amount sold on this market last year.
The quality, however, is greatly in
ferior to that of 1908.
The quality of tta? tobaeco crop
in this county now being cured,
says the Dun bury reporter, is prob
ably 25 per cent inferior to that of
last year. The acreage this year is
fully as large, and probably larger,
than the. 1908 output but the number
of pounds will be a good deal less
than last year, owing to the unfav
orable season, sometimes too dry,
sometimes too wet.
The Louisburg report is discourag
ing. The yield is very light and a
conservative estimate would be about
60 per cent, of last year's crop. It
is hard to judge the quality of the
fcrop this year by the receipts coming
in now, as these are only primings,
and are very inferior as compared
with last year. Prices as a rule are
very unsatisfactory, though good
bodied leaf commands a good price,
this kind not offering in any quantity
however. Farmers seem to be thor
oughly disheartened, with an increas
ed outlay they have a poorer yield
and lower prices than last year.
From Durham is heard the local J
crop will fall far short, more than a
75 per eent yield, while many "fear
a slump to 60 per cont. The
average price paid for the season of
1908, was $12.80 per hundred. While
the best weed has not been marketed
yet, it is believed here that the crop
will almost reach that degree of ex-i
cellence owing to the lack of pounds'
that result from the wet weather.
From Oxford the report is the yield
as compared to last year is 100 per
cent. The quality of the crop as com
pared to last year 75 per cent. 'It
is said to be remarkable how the to
bacco crop improved .with the favor
able weather of August.- The growth
was almost wonderful, in the course
.of the month.
The Goldsboro correspondent' has
this to say: The tobaeco crop in
Wayne county has proved a big dis
appointment in view of the fact that
notwithstanding an increase of acre
age this season the yield falls con
siderably below' that of last year,
while there was about .15 per cent,
increase of acreage over, last year.
The amount 'of tobacco produced
equals only three-fourths of last sea
son's crop, or in other words there
is a decrease of 25 per cent. And
too, the quality of the weed is very
inferior. At tfre present time" better
grades are being brought in than
those marketed in August and, as a
consequence prices have advanced.
Good leaf tobacco is selling at prices
ranging from 8 to 15 cents, while a
few small piles are running as high as
$25 and $30 per hundred pounds.
From the Winston-Salem report
the following is gleaned: There will
be more common tobacco this year, as
compared with 1908, and that the
yield per acre will be much smaller.
It is known that a much larger crop
was planted this year than last but
the growers are not expected to4 real
ize as much money on account of
shortage in weight and' quality.
From Person comes the report, the
tobacco crop this year is the largest
raised in several years, and'.will rank
among the best, while sales are rather
small at present the prices are good.
Mrs. Harriman to Ask For Appraisal.
New York, Special. Mrs. Edward
H. Harriman, who by the terms of
her husband's will, becomes probably
the world's richest woman, is -expect-
ed to ask for an official appraisal of
the financier's estate within two
weeks.' Until this appraisal is made,
nothing definite will be known as to
the amount of wealth accumulated by
Harriman, but in Will street it is the
common opinion that it will be close
to $100,000.
Wright Inspects Field.
New York, Special Wilbur Wright
arrived, here Saturday, and inspected
.the field, at Governor's Island from
which he and Glenn H. Curtiss are
expected to attempt a series of flights
over and around the skyscrapers of
Manhattan during the Hudson-Fulton
celebration. "In. the last six years,"
said Mr. Wright, "we haven't ad
vanced much in the art of flying, and
the biplapo we used Orville and I
in our first experiments at Kittyhawk
made some unprecedented records.
Governor Johnson Cannot Live.
Rochester, Minn., Special. The
physicians attending Gov. John A.
Johnson reported at 5 o'clock Monday
afternoon that the distinguised pa
tient was dying and would not sur

Mayo stated that he eould ijot live an

the sick room: "Time drags so. I
am so uncomfortable." Then he be
came silent. He is entirely conscious.
He was still living at 1 :25.
British Steamer With 300 Lost.
London. By Cable.-r-The British
steamer Waratah, Durban to Gape
town, missing since early July with
300 passengers and the crew, in all
probability was destroyed by fire, ac
cording to advices received at Lloyds'
Monday. A cable from Manilla says
the steamer Harlow passed a blazing
ship July '27-180 tniles from Natal.
While watching she saw a violent ex
plosion and -the vessel sank. It is
thought that this was the Waratah.
