Peary if at obtained, this infor mation, a forecast of the indictment he and Oen. Thomas Hubbard, presi dent of the Peary Artie Club, wilt draw against the contentions' of Dr. Frederick A. Cook that he has reach ed the North Pole. ' ; .,- There are 14 counts in the Indict ment and they may be summarized as follows: ,i. ;: - First That Mr. Peary and Matt Henson, either individually or to gether, talked with every member of the Smith Sound tribe of Eskimos and obtained testimony that corro rates that' of . E-treck-a-sboo and A-pel-lah, the boys who accompanied ; Dr. Cook, that Dr. Cook had not been Out of sight of land. Second--Tbat in violation of the recognitized custom of Artie explora tion Dr. Cook has not brought back records left iu cairns ' at points he asserts he had reached, notably the one left at Cape Thomas Hubbard in ; i906 by Mr. Pesryl . , . . Third That Dr. Cook's story that traveled from Annotok to the Pole' and then back to Jones' Sound, a distance of more than 251-2 degrees, or about 1,700 miles: in one sledginz .season is impossible lie points put that this is more than twice the best v previous record of 11 degrees, and Mr. Peary's best record this year of 114 degrees. -v. : ;;'-.- ." ' Fourth-rThat his general equip- '. merit was such that it would bo a physical impossibility to have accomplished- the remarkable feat " t : Fifth-rThat Dr. Cook maintains he , carried a glass mercurial hoiison oo big trip of 1,700 miles, whereas Mr. Peary; used a 'east iron horizon,- so that .it would, not only be saved from being broken, 'but could be heated when the mercury froze. This is necessary sometimes, Mr. Peary con tends, as mercury freezes, at minus 35. Dr. Cook reports finding it as -cold as minus 83 degrees. . , v Sixth That Professor ,' Marvin brought back from 86 degrees 38 minutes duplicate records . of Mr. Peary ' march and of his own to prove absolutely that Mr. Peary reached that latitude. " - v Seventh That Captain Bartlett brought back from 87 degrees 43 minutes duplicate records of Mr. Peary's march and of his own to prove absolutely that Mr. Peary reached that latitude. Eighth That the sledge of Dr. Cook's was of such a type, not built on the lines of any Artie explorer's sledge, that it could not possibly have Listed for a .march of a day with a standard load of 500 or 600 pounds. Ninth That Dr. Cook's snow shoes were of a impracticable type for use in the Artie and were not of the kind that would conduce to speed. Tenth That Dr. Cook's leaving of his records at Etah was a scheme on his part by which he eould claim they were lost or destroyed, and so could escape being forced to produce them. . EleventhThat no man who had carried the American flag to the Pole would leave such -a slight and easily transported article in charge of a perfect stranger. Twelfth That Dr. Cook did have fresh dog teams from Etah and could have ' carried his burdens to Uncr- navik. Thirteenh That v when Harry Whitney' went on board the Jeauie be did not take time to go back to Etah and get the articles that he must have , known were valuable to Dr. Cook.

Mr. Taft broadly took the stand that white the present administration is pledged to follow out the policies of Mr. Roosevelt, such pledge does not involve him in any obligation to carry out these policies without congression al authorization. - He created much enthusiasm when he annoanced that he would urge on Congress the necessity of authorizing Secretary of the Interior to issue $10, 000,000 bonds for the completion ol irrigation projects, which work is sus pended because of lack of funds and failure of the projectors to observt tho limitations of the reclamation act. President Toft Tuesday gavi credit both to Mr. Pinchot and to Mr. Ballinger. He referred to the won derful work of Mr. Pinchot and said that while that work had brought de nunciation at first it was now general ly realized that the reforms begun bj Mr. Pinchot were not only necessary, but could have been begun ten year: ago. President Taft Wednesday night reached the Pacific coast, just two weeks after his start from Boston. During the' day he passed throug'i a region which displayed its marvels in the way of fruit raising.

BEST OF FULTON PAGEANTS Twenty-Are Thousand Men In Line and 2,230,000 Looking On - Itritfsh Red-Coats and German Goose-S(eps Attract Attention. New York City. Twenty-flve thou sand fighting men, drawn from all the principal navies of the world and from every branch of the United States Army ar.d Navy, passed Id re view in the great military parade that will stand out as the most brilliant pageant " of the Hudson-Fulton celebration.- Not less than 2,250000 persons viewed the parade, and it aroused them to an enthusiasm that left them tired, hoarse and happy. The first big thrill cams when Governor Hushes appeared at the starting point nnd the military bands blared out airs of the countries whoso sailors were about to inarch. "God Save the King, " "Die Wacht am Rhein," "The Marseillaise" and others came In suc cession, nnd then, following a brief, magnetic pause, the first notes of "The Star Spjangled Banner" rang out. They carried clear 10? three blocks each vy: nnd the , crowd, packed to suffocation along each block and In every side street, went wild vith enthusiasm. The post of honor at the heaa of the marching line was awarded to the Jackis from the British ships. In their wide-brimmed straw hats they caught the fancy of the spectators at once as they swung atonp, big, bronzsd men, -700 strong; and the cheers the t ' greeted them 'were re doubled when a detachment rot. the royal marines came into sight behind them and furnished the piquant Spec tacle of BritiBh redcoats under arms In the streets of New York Cltyv ., -..

Uncle Sam's tars turned out 10,000 strong, the de tachment from each ship being pre ceded by a flag bearing the ship's name, and all along the line the crowd picked out Its favorites, only to prove Its individual fickleness and general loyalty by turning to cheer the next division as soon as one had passed by, Leading the military forces of the United States came the boys the crowd always loves all the time the West Point Cadets, New York City has seen them so often It might baye grown used to the splendid marohlng of the future officers of Its Army, but the sight never palls, and the cadets never made a braver showing, nor re. eelved a more uproarious welcome. Detachments of cavalry, artillery and infantry, regulars, militiamen and volunteers to the number of 10,000 made up the rest of the parade. The crowds along thejlne of march and In the adjoining streets furnished (a themselves one of the memorable features of the parade. The police admitted that they never before had beeq called upon - to handle each throngs, but previous lessons proved to have been learned well and there was far less confusion and dangerous congestion than ever before,. Tbe field ambulances that had been In stalled at numerous points were ad mirably conducted and -all Who re quired relief were attended to prroptly. '.--',.. The grandstands were erowded. but there was complaint at" the prices charred. In suite of the efforts that had been made to 'prevent it, thou-. sands of tickets feu Into the hands 01 speculators, who not only asked for 5 to $10 for aa ordinary sat. but often were insultingly persistent In trying to fovea thlr sale. Beats in windows sold rapidly, anl though lit tle business was done in this line in Fifth avenue, except in tbo business buildings at the lower end, the ten ants of fiats and apartment houses along Central Park West did not hesi tate to take ia strangers at aa aver age price of 5 a head. The parade was divided into nine divisions. First inarched tho sallnr3 and marines of foreign navies. They were escorted by a platoon of mount ed policemen, Grand Marshal Roa and his-staff and Squadron.
