ALONEAT POLE Peary Accompanied by One Eskimo Made Final Dash Over the Ice. APPEARED AS FROZEN SEA ' Peary Endeavored to Get Soundings But at 1,500 Fathoms Ciot no Bottom?Correspondents May Take Explorer Aboard Steamer to Hurry Home. A dispatch from Battle Harbor, Labrador, says the following details of Commander Peary's journey to the North Pole have been gleaned from members of the expedition on board the steamer Roosevelt: The only men to reach the Pole were Commander Peary and one Eskimo, Eging Wah, by name. The other white members of the various parties that left Capt Columbia were sent back one by one as Mr. Peary drew nearer daily to his object. Mathew Henson, Mr. Peary's negro attendant, and three Eskimos, the only other members of the reduced party that made the final dash, were left on the march south of the Pole. At 85.38 the party consisted of Mr. Peary, Capt. Bartlett, Matthew Henson, a negro man. who has been Mr. Peary's personal assistant on so many of his expeditions, tne n.siumos, seven 6ledges and sixty dogs and the journey north was resumed. The ice was perfectly level as far as the eye could see. Capt. Bartlett took the observation on the 88th parallel on April 3, and then reluctantly returned, leaving Mr. Peary, Henson and the Eskimos with provisions for forty days to make the final dash to the Pole. This reduced party started on April 3. The men walked that day for ten hours and made twenty miles. Then they slept near the 89th parallel. The Pole was reached on April 6, and a series of observations were taken at 90. Mr. Peary deposited his records and hoisted the American flag. The temperature was 32 degrees below zero. The Pole appeared as a frozen sea. Mr. Peary tried to take soundings, but got no bottom at 1,500 fathoms. Mr. Peary stayed at the Pole for thirty-four hours and then started on his return journey on April 7. Hasn't Dr. Cook's Records. A dispatch from New York says the following wireless and cable message has been received in that city: "Battle Harbor, Labrador, via Cape Ray, N. F., September 12. "I have no knowledge of Dr. Cook's having given Mr. Whitney any records. There are no Cook records on the Roosevelt. (Signed) "Peary." In Copenhagen, Dr. Frederick A. Cook declared that he had given to Harry Whitney, the wealthy young big game hunter, part of the records of his observations on his return from the North Pole to Etah, Greenland. Dr. Cook asserted that ?Ir. Whitney would bring the irecords to this country. Commander Robert E. Peary on his return from the Pole, a year subsequent to that of Dr. Cook, picked up Mr. Whitney at Etah, and was bringing him south on the Roosevelt when they met the relief ship Jeannie, to which Mr. Whitney was transferred to continue his hunting for a few weeks in Baffin s bay. It was confidentally expected by Dr. Cook's supporters here that Mr, a hitney had turned these records over to Commander Peary, and that the latter would bring them to this country with him. While it is certain that Commander Peary will receive a notable reception on his arrival in New York City, all plans are merely tentative, as nothing definite is yet known as to when he will reach that city. One report states that the Roosevelt will be able to leave Battle Harbor before the end of this week, while another states that it can hardly depart from there before the end of the month. In any event, New York anticipates the livliest few weeks in many years, when the rival explorers do come. Dr. Cook is due on September 21, and four days later the HudsonFulton celebration begins, anfl in this, it is expected, that Polar argument will be forced to a conspicuous position.

( EAP TO ESCAPE FLAMES j HUNDRED HAVE CLOSE CALL WHEN HOTEL BURNED. Entire Ground Floor is Ablaze When Flames Are Discovered ? None ^|| Hurt Seriously in Jumping. A dispatch from Edgemere, Long Island, says in a fire which destroyed 1 ' the Holmeshurst Inn there before daylight Monday morning seventyfive guests and twenty employees experienced exciting and narrow escapes. The fire, which the proprietor said, was of incendiary origin, started in the basement and worked up through the frame structure so rap- th idly that the entire first floor was pr ablaze before the guests were given the alarm. While most of the guests were able to leave by stairways, half a dozen, among them two women, leap- w ed from a second-story balcony, but in were not seriously hurt. * The guests were cared for in , cl neighboring couages. me uuiei building was valued at $75,000.

Thompson, president of the e< New Orleans cotton exchange and s< head of the cotton firm of W. B. P Thompson & Co., of that city, has t( issued a circular letter to farmers, wherein he offers a new plan for R the marketing of the cotton crop. * He urges farmers to market their r< crops at the rate of 10 per cent a c month. According to Mr. Thompson a this would create a stable market for both buyer and seller. ai Mr. Thompson says in part: "Let the producer of cotton mar- ? ket 10 per cent of his crop each k month for 10 months. An instant a of reflection will convince any thoughtful man that whether the ? crop on the market be large or small s( and whether a hundred planters or c' a hundred thousand employ the ^ method, the result will be better than if the crop were sold at once 11 or the attempt made to hold it all. a If the plan is good for one planter, 0 it is good for all, and if all or any ^ great number of planters adopt it, the problem of marketing the crop is solved." 0 11 WANTS HIS NECK BROKEN. 3 A White Fiend Attacks a Young Negro Girl Twice. m A special to The News and Courier from Spartanburg says an unknown white man attempted to make a criminal assault on a young colored girl at East Spartanburg Saturday cJ afternoon.

EW MENACE TO AMERICA 3dical Science Is Working to Discover the Secret of the Terrible Plague That Has Invaded the United States and Wliich is Caused by Eating Com. Appearance in the United States of at mysterious disease, pellagra, actically a new and hitherto un.miliar kind of leprosy, and which, lough introduced but recently, is reading with great rapidity, may ell excite alarm, says Reue Bache the New York American. It is disease,among the most frightful sown to mankind?which already aims about one milLion victims, dw surviving, in the Old World. Over there it pursues, in nearly I instances, a slow course, killing le sufferers very gradually. But t this country it becomes unique ad is often a swift destroyer, the rmptoms being "telescoped," as one light say, so that the whole course [ the malady may be run within a >w weeks, terminating in death. To call it a "new brand of leprof" is by no means inappropriate, ut, in truth, it is worse?much orse. Not only does it transform le skin of the body in to a yellow nd parchment-like covering, cracki and beset with foul and ulcerous >res, but it directly assails the temle of the mind, reducing the patient ) a condition of insanity or idiocy. Until recently the disease, its ame comiKuinded from two Italian ords, "pelle," skin, and "agra," . >ugh?has been regarded as peuliar ,to the Old World}, though few sporadic cases of it have apeared from time to time in Mexico nd South America. Suddenly and nexpectedly it invaded the United tates?the first sickness of the ind being reported only a few years go in Georgia. Now quite as sudenly it has spread throughout most f the Southern States and, worse till, because of the difference in limate, it has attacked the Middle /est. Fifty cases have been found at le Peoria, Illinois, State Hospital lone, and Captain Joseph F. Siler, f the Army Medical Corps, sent lere to investigate, has reported ) the government that he beiieves le malady has long prevailed, not nly around Peoria, but throughout linois and the great corn growing tates of the West. For it is in corn that the cause f the disease, whatever it may be, irks. The malady is neither contagious or infectious. That is to say, one erson cannot "catch it" or "take " from another. Each individual _I i. c *v* 1 S-J IP /.Afn ibe originates nuui mc uiuiuj wiu irect. In all likelihood, the mislief-making fungus starts its work i the cornfield, where its spones fall pon the ripening ears and grow, ut even this is not a certainty. It may be asked, why does not >oking kill the fungus germs? So i all likelihood it does. But the Dison manufactured by the fungus what makes the trouble, and apirently this is not deprived of its >xic efficiency by high temperatures, hat boiling does not render it harmas is shown by the fact, already entioned, that alcohol distilled om spoiled maize will cause the isease. The spores of Ihe fungus start donies in the intestine, and the jison they produce is taken up by ood and thus carried to all parts ' the body. It is in effect a drug, irticuiany injurious 10 me nrain id nervous system generally? hence the profound effect of the sease upon the mentality. This ef-j ct, like the purely physical sympins, it? progressive, and frequently rminates in idiocy or insanity. When it is said that the disease due to something in moldy or usty corn nearly all has been said at is really known of the cause. is true that at the Meridian ospital, in Mississippi, a new and lknown bacillus has 'been isolad after investigation into a numir of cases of the disease, but hether this is the real microbe of Viagra, whether there is a micbe or whether the malady is due some vegetable growth that enrs the blood through the corn, is ?t actually known. Nor is it likely that an effective medy will be found until the cause definitely ascertained. The Italian eory, and the one commonly acpted, is that it is caused by "a ngus parasitic on maize or by a omaine developed by its putrifac>n." Fungus and ptomaine remain be discovered. Nobody that has ever handled rn can have failed to notice that casional ears am moldy. Perhaps Iy a few of the grains are affected, d, as a matter of fact, these are moved in process of preparation r the table; or. if the grain be elled by hand, only the good part taken for the bin. Thi?. in the tter case, is a precaution obviously icessary, inasmuch as a small jount of moldy corn may do a rat deal of damage in the bin. rough the spreading of the funis. It is in the Southern States and the Middle West that the bulk of e cornmeal output is consumed, miparafivly little of it is eaten other parts of this country. ForDrly. in both sections, the supply corn meal came entirely from small local mills, the grain for which was "shucked" by hand. For this reason none of it was moldy; and consequently the flour made from it was wholesome, containing no disease germs. Those who ate it were safe from "pellagra." Today, however, there is a very different state of affairs. The South has given up growing corn on any extensive scale, and is planting cot- . ton instead. But the people of that J section are still eating as much corn meal as ever, obtaining the product from the North, where it is made in great mills in Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other cities, by machinery. The ears are "shucked" by machinery, which pays no attention to bad ones, and throws the moldy grain in with the rest, to be afterwards ground. Formerly the corn used for making meal in the South was never kept in big bulks. Today, on the s< other hand, it is customarily handled s' in enormous bulks?600 bushels to e a car, and thousands of bushels in a one bin. Under such conditions, es- v pecially if any moisture be present, n the mass is liable to "heat," and the fungus from the moldy grain spreads with great rapidity. Thus *? ?? 1 ? ?A/I f Ko S' is may ue taivtru iui giamcu mai, mu cornmeal whloh comes to market E nowadays is more or less liable to be infected with fungus. No wonder a then, that in the States where corn- p meal is a large item of the daily * diet a disease positively known to D arise from the eating of moldy corn 1 should have made its appearance. p It is by no means to be supposed that the fugi which attack corn are all of them, or even most of them, t dangerous. Presumably, they are, as a rule, quite harmless. But among them there must be some species of a "pathogenic" character, which produces the disease known as pellagra. When sufferers from the malady in its early stages are deprived of corn, and fed on other grain, the symptoms disappear. Summed up, the symptoms com- s prise progressive emaciation, brittle- v ness of the bones, fatty degeneration i of the internal organs (especially \ the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen and s lungs), inflammation of the brain j and spinal cord, nervous troubles f and the frightful affection of the r skin already mentioned. c These conditions become progres- s sively worse. There are evidences of mental weakness, with great depression of spirit. Children are sad of face and look like old men or women. Young women rapidly take on the aspect of ancients. Emaciation sets in, with increased physical weakness. The skin becomes red, with sensations of burning and itchJno* i n/1 noun llif a nn ffi nrti-.p iiife, anu uouaiij wiuo ^uiuuc^o. i Blisters appear, scattered over the c surface: the spiderraia dries and I falls in grayish scales.

It is not leprosy, however. A suggestion has been ? made to the effect that the leprosy 1 described in the Bible was actually * pellagra, but there is no reason for c such a theory. Undoubtedly pe'.la- r gra is a modern disease, corn having been unknown in ancient times. " Maize, of course, is of American * origin, and it is safe to say that the Indians, who were large users 9 of conn meal long before the days * of Columbus did not use moldy grain * in its mannfartnrp In the later stages of the malady, sufferers become either partly imbecile or deranged. Sometimes they r entertain delusions of persecution or a of religion. Melancholia leads to i dementia, and they try to commit r suicide, or in some instances exhibit v a homicidal tendency. Not infre- f quently they refuse food. Their o heads tremble and their gait is para- v lytic. Last scene of all is a combi- fc nation of starvation, helplessness, y heart weakness, dropsy and delirium, s ending in death. Occasionally blood s poisoning, or even galloping con- ii sumption of the lungs, sets in at the close. Pictures have been sent to Dr. Elle Metchnikoff, the famous Russian scientist who is now studying 0 it. It is also under investigation at John Hopkins University in Baltimore. Such is pellagra?certainly one of the most frightful physical P afflictions known to mankind. ^ Cl LITTLE GIRL IS MURDERED. cl it Two Other Chldren Badly Wound ed?No Clue to the Crime.

I ^ G00DSJE1ZED ' ary's Boatswain Confirms Cook's Statement of the Looting of His Stores. >EARY BADLY EQUIPPED r. Cook's and Franke'* Collection of Relics Wore Taken by PearyAdmiral Schley Endorses Dr. Cook as Does Capt. Osborn, Secretary of the Artie Club. A dispatch from St. John's, N. F., lys Alan Whitten, who was boatwain of the Peary auxialiary steamr Erik in 1905 and again in 1908, dds his quota to the polar controersy. On his expeditions he saw luch of Peary and knew of Peary's laas. He was also on the Erik in tie summer of 1907 when she lay 5r a week in Sydney alongside the chooned Jno. R. Bradley, in which >r. Cook was starting for the pole. Whitten says that the Bradley was bundantly equipped for Cook's exedition, having supplies for at least hree years. He confirms the charges lade by Dr. Cook at Copenhagen hat Peary's people took. Dr. Cook's >rovision8, adding ttoat not oniy aia he crew of the ship take Cook's tores at Etah, but that -boats were ent to Annatok, thirty miles distant, o remove Cook's provisions which fere stored there. Whitten admitted however that he lid not know if this removal was by .rrangement between Franke, who ^as left in charge of the provisions .nd Peary or Peary's representatives. The boatswain also made the tatement that both Franke's and book's collections of ivory and skins, ome of them very valuable, likewise vere taken. He said that the trou>le with Peary's previous expeditions lad been the lack of supplies. Initead of remaining away for three 'ears, Commander Peary was compiled to return after about fifteen nonths, the real reason, Whitten de:lared, that he did not have enough lupplies to remain longer. Naval Officers Endorse Cook.

S. Osborn, secretary of the Artie 21ub of America, of which Dr. Cook s a member. The letter under date >f September 11 from Pocono Manor, ?a., runs in part as follows: "I like Cook's attitude immensely n this unfortunate, unnecessary and inwise controversy.

I It is Claimed That This Corn Has Not Time to Mature Well Before it is Ground. ^ The dread new disease which first made its appearance in the South several years ago, has invaded several parts of the North. Fifty cas- ' es are now under treatment in Pe oria, 111. It has probably existed undetected in the North many years. Dr. Lavindar of the United States ' marine hospital service, has proved1 ^ that pellagra caused the death of two patients who were supposed to have been scalded to death in the Bartonville, Illinois, Insane asylum in 1904 and 1907. They died in bath tubs and their bodies looked like they had been boiled and the nurse who was in' charge of the last case was dismissed i for supposed criminal carelessness. Dr. Lavindar says the appearance of being boiled alive is typical of the disease of pellagra and that death in the bath tubs was a mere concidence. The result is that the nurse has been reinstated. Dr. Lavindar found forty cases in this asylum on his arrival there. The Knoxville Sentinel, referring to the theory that musty corn causes pellagra, expressed the belief some time ago that the spread of the disease was due to the use of carelessly selected corn ground by steam rolling mills instead of the coarse ground corn meal of water mills of the South. The view has been growing in strength. Dr. William T. Woodley, of Charlotte, N. C., has written The Observer on this subject. He blames the use of shock cured corn which, he says, is not given time enough to dry thoroughly before it is husked and marketed. He says that sixty days longer should be allowed to corn in the shock than to corn standing in the field. The season in the West is much shorter than in the South and the farmers push their work so as to get through wtftb cleaning Itheir fields before winter. Dr. Woodley proposes, therefore, that mills be j required to use only corn that ha3 V\s>.r\ry mt urt/)ai? aimarvlo^An Pnrn 1 uccu tuicu UUU^i lOIUUi VV/I u for the table should be cured without stripping the fodder in order to give the ears all the nutriment possible. The amount of corn ground for human food is small compared with the total grown and it would be no great hardship to require the mills to be careful in selecting it. I In commenting on the rapid spread of the disease, the Farmers' Union Sun says here in the South, whose people have always been addicted to the use of corn-bread in some form or other, pellagra was unknown until comparatively recent years. Before the war and long afterwards, we never knew or heard of a case that indicated any of the symptoms of pellagra. It is as now known and described a very modern disease so far as it relates to the South, and its present prevalence, if due to the use of corn, may be attributed wholly to the South's abandonment of the cultivation of corn,! turning its attention to the single. crop of cotton, and depending ex-! clusively for its corn supply on the 1 West, where the methods of har-; i vesting and caring for corn crops: i are such as to make corn an unfit! article of food for man. We read the other day that it is i not an unusual thing for some Western farmers to turn their hogf- [ into fields of corn which was regard- ] ed as of inferior quality. We are i confident that much of this kind of < corn or the meai from it is ship- 1 ped to the South and made into ] bread and eaten by the poorer class j i of our people among whome, espec-1' ially those in mill districts, pellagra I has appeared. We don't believe that i i Southern raised corn, harvested only(< when fully ripe, as was done in ante- j bellum times, and properly ground i into meal, will produce pellagra. | < If the disease is caused from corn, 1 it is this Western corn and its pro- i ducts on which our people have been J feeding ever since they got the cot- t ton craze.

It does the work. our people to go back to first princi- I pies, in other words, force them to cut out Western corn and raise their corn supply at home. It seems that something just like this was required to bring Southern farmers to their senses. Some people can be convinced only by knock-down arguments, and pellagra is one that seems to be of that kind. The Sun is right. Corn has been the staple food of the South too long to allow any room for condemning it wholesale as has been ione by hasty thinkers.
