President Taft arrived here today sim-

after a hard day in Spokane yesterday.
The president made a brief speech.

HARHY WHITNEY MILLIDNIIDE SPORTSMAN WHO
HAS DR. COOK'S DATA A LOVER Of THE WILD
Most Important Man in North
Pole Controversy Has Been
Cowboy Alligator Hunter
Seal Fisher and Polar Hunt-
er—His Letter to “The
Boys” From the North.
By W. G. Shepherd.
New Havcm—Gunn. 29. —Dr.
Cook is banking on Harry Whitney
and it looks as if Dr. Cook had made
a good selection.
The eyes of the world are turned to
Whitney.
Down at Louie Heublein’s cafe a
famous layout where Harry used to
hang out with Yale chaps they all say:
"Gee whiz! What’s he to do when the
reporters get after him? And he'll see
his name in the paper!” And they all
laugh because Harry shies at public-
ity.-
"But he'll be dead game” they
add.
You can’t say that Harry actually
hates civilization. But ho acts as if
he does. He is only 38 years old but
he has spent 20 years of his life in
God's open air in the wildest places he
can find.
The climax of his love for the wild-
ness of nature was his trip to Etah
from which he will soon return.
Harry eamc by his longing for wild-
ness honestly enough. His father
Stephen old Henry Whitney
was a dub man and adventurer and a
lover of hunting. Harry the first boy
in the family began to chafe at re-
straint when he was 18 years old. The
morning bells at Yale didn’t appeal to
him. He simply wouldn’t go to school.
His family had millions but he want-
ed to be a cowboy. So he went into the
cattle business in Montana. But that
wasn’t exciting enough for him. He
never went around his ranch until
roundup time and then he led in the
wildest cowboy chases.
He heard that hunting was good in
Florida so he shot alligators there.
Then he got a chance to go seal fishing
in Nova Scotia the most exciting sport
in the north. He went with Capt.
Samuel Bartlett on the Algerine in
1900 and after that the call of the
north entered his blood.
One day in 1907 Whitney was chat-
ting with some boon companions in a
New York club when polar hunting
became the topic. Frank Carnegie neph-
ew of Andrew mentioned the fact
that Peary was willing to take half a
dozen club men up north to hunt when
he started ont on his north pole hunt.
Then and there they fixed up a party
to go. When the time came the folks at
home had persuaded all but Harry to
pull out.
Peary took him up to Etah which is
made up of a dozen or so snow huts.
There are no white men either there '
or at Annotok 60 miles further north.
Peary and his merr remained at Etah !
for a time until Aug. 16. Then they
steamed away. If you want to feel all
the loneliness that this young hater of
civilization felt-as he saw the boat de-j
part and knew that he would not sec
a white man's face for a year you
have only to read this letter which he
wrote to Louie and the fellows back in
the Heublein cafe. They’ve got it i
framed on the wall there.
"Etah N.G„ Aug. 16. 1908. I
"Dear Louie and all the rest: When I
you get. this I will be in darkness as
we lose the sun Oct. 12. T will see it no
more until March 15 so it will be a
long dark winter. But.” he adds as
if trying to cheer himself "I am in
the finest muskox and reindeer coun-
try in the world and I decided I would
never get s better chance to kill some
than by staying hero this winter. I
have six Eskimos with me but have
not gotten so that I can understand

ing a log house and I will live in it
for three weeks'so as to be here to
kill wolves. Then I'H take the dogs
and sleds and go to Annoch” ((the
right name is Annotok. but at that time
Whitney was unacquainted with the
region) “60 miles north* of here. An-
noch is the most northern settlement in
the world and about 12 Eskimos live I
there.
"I also have a big lot of provisions
for Dr. Cook whom no one seems to
know much about.” (These are the
provisions which Peary seized and
placed in charge of his boatswain Mur
phy. Murphy when Cook came to him
refused t<i_admit Cook owned the sup-
plies).
"You and all the boys should just
see-me here. I have had all my bear-
skin clothes made just like the Eskimos
and am a sight.”
But up at Annotok he found that be
had neighbors Boatswain Murphy and
Cabinboy Pritchard whom Peary had
left with stores. And once in Febru-
ary. while he was visiting them/ they
saw three human beings slowly making
their way acros the ice dragging their
own sledges.
It was Cook "whom no one seemed
to know much about.”
It must have been a thrilling meet-
ing. That's one of the things Whit-
ney will have to tell tp the world when

COURT PERMITS RUBBER
HOSE AS CHILD WHIP
Chicago. Sept. 29.—Rubber hose to chas- ।

judicially sanctioned by a grand jury |
as proper setting aside the hickory j

ruler of old. "A hose does not cut the |
flesh even if it. does leave dark spots
on the skin” was the contention made
by Superintendent C. B. Adams of the
State School for Boys at St. Charles to
the grand jury to which the Illinois
State Humane society made complaint.
The jury upheld him. to the alarm of
the 361586 boys of chastiscable age in
Chicago who mind "dark spots on the
skin” as well as "cuts in the flesh.”
The trustees of the tjt. Charles institu-
tion chose the hose for flogging because
they deemed it "humane” another step
toward the reinstallation of corporal
punishment in the schools. The trite
adage of "spare the rod” so long in
disfavor is again being coaxed into the
limelight by the most advanced educa-
tors.
The personnel of the board that pass-
ed upon the propriety of the hose as a
flaggellator before the case went to

New York Sept. 29. —Chief interest
in today’s program for the Hudson-
Fulton celebration centers in the va-
rious airships which have been waiting
for favorable weather. It was be-
lieved that desirable weather conditions
had now arrived and that flights would
be made by Glenn H. Curtiss and Wil-
bur Wright in their aeroplanes and by
Capt Baldwin and George L. Tomlin-
son in their dirigible ballopns the latter
in a contest for a $10000 prize offered
by the New York World for a flight
between New York and Albany.
Mr. Curtiss remained on Governor’s
island al) night so as to take advan-
tage of the first favorable weather con-
dors accompanied by seven black
slaves reached the city from Boston
where they landed from the steamship
Canopic. To board the steamer they
traveled 400 miles on horseback over
the mountains of Morocco and to them
America was a fairyland of which they
had never even dreamed.
The distinguished Moors each a high
official in his own country were assign-
ed to a large suite-and outside of the
door of Aach room one of the white tur-
baned slaves took his position. As
their religion prescribes that their meat
must be killed according to certain
rites the delegates and their slaves
were in danger of starvation until a
member. of the party visited a local
slaughter house aud saw that thes*
rites were observed.
After discharging their commission as
representatives of the sultan the Moors
will remain in this city ten days and
will then return to Morocco.
Points of vantage fron; which to
view the rowing regatta today be-
tween the crews of warships from all
nations were in brisk demand. The
principal events were pulling races
among the crews of foreign vessels tor
which the commissioners had offered
money' aud medal prizes.

that Mr. Wright was in close touch with
his aeroplane shed.
Aside from the maneuvers of the air-
ships the program included general
commemorative exercises by universi-
ties. colleges schotis museums and
learned patriotic societies throughout
the state. In Greater New York the
scene of the greatest action moved to
the Bronx for a repetition of the his-
torical pageant of yesterday in Manhat-
tan. . j.
