He has been pursuing in Europe for
some months the study of the suggest-

and lately came to London from Hol-

He said:
“If the theory can be proved that
some infinitesimal form of life precedes
the tubercle bacilli, the discovery may
be of the utmost importance. A cer-

on this problem and are bringing great
enthusiasm to bear on the efforts to
solve it. I hope the solution is not
far off; but, of course, it is impossible
to make any prediction regarding it.”

The Morgan line steamer El Paso is
due to reach here this afternoon about
|5 o’clock from New York, towing the
Atlas, the biggest derrick barge ever
brought South. The unusual tow on
such a long voyage has attracted a
great deal of attention, but the finer
has been favored with good weather
and is bringing in the barge In sound
condition.
The Atlas was built in Philadelphia
and will be used at the Southern Pa-
cific docks at this port for lifting and
moving heavy machinery and other
cargo. It is 115 feet long and has a
40:foot beam and draws 9 feet of wa-
ter. The lifting capacity of the barge
is 35 tons without the ballast tanks
and with them 50 tons. The Atlas will
take the place of the barge El Toro,
in use here for several years.
The steamer El Paso sailed from
l^ew York with her remarkable tow
on Aug. 28th. To prevent any possi-
bility of the big barge going adrift
while coming down immense hawsers
are used 'to hold her.

Peary’s Message Is Denial That Cook
Reached Pole.
By Associated Press.
New York, Sept. 8.—Peary’s dispatch
to the Associated Press from Indian
Harbor today, in which he says not to
put too much faith in Cook’s claims
as the latter’s two Eskimos say Cook
did not go far north or get out of sight
of land, and that their story is verified
by other members of the tribe, gives
the first expression concerning Cook’s
claim to have reached the pole almost
a year before Peary. The dispatch has
absorbed the attention of the entire

Berlin, Sept. 8.—The kaiser’s inordi-
nate passion for traveling, which he
has indulged this summer on an unpre-
cedented scale, has been the target this
week fdr angry criticism in Berlin.
First’ the wandering William
charged»with the responsibility for the
mishaps to Count Zeppelin’s new air-
ship, which lay stranded in the open
fields 45 miles southwest of Berlin
three days after her triumphal cruise
over the imperial capital last Sunday.
The septuagenarian aeronaut is said
to have hurried Zeppelin Ill’s comple-
tion and undertaken the 475-mile flight
to Berlin and back to Friedrichshafen’
with a wholly untried vessel simply be-
cause the kaiser had commanded his
appearance at the capital Aug. 28. The
imperial instructions added that any
later date would seriously inetrfere
with the war lord’s traveling arrange-
ments.
The result was that the mechanical
equipment of the new vessel went to'
smash in its first battle with unfavor-
able winds, and that the beautiful
cruiser for three days and nights was
in Immiennt danger of being totally
wrecked on a wind-swept prairie be-
force she could continue her homeward
flight. Even though the Zeppelin III
was hobbling into Berlin crippled, the
kaiser wired Count Zeppelin that he de-
sired the airship to appear here at
12:30 the next day.
The kaiser’s critics say similar mis-
haps overtook other army airships, the
Gross II and- the Parseva,! II, a year ago
as the result of trying t'p obey the pre-
mature orders from the kaiser to pa-
rade before him at the-Dobelitz mili-
tary field.
The emperor is also attacked for al-
lowing his migratory inclinations to in-
terfere with such important state busi-
ness as the passing upon the applica-
tions for the reprieves or criminals un-
der sentence of death. A case is cited
of a man who was kept in agonizing
suspense for five months because the
kaiser was unable to consider his case
earlier, and was then ordered Sent to
the ax.

Will Represent German Navy at Hud-
son-Fulton Centenary
Berlin, Sept. 8.—Grand Admiral von
Koester, who, next to the kaiser, is the
ranking officer in the German navy,
will sail for Ne^v York within a few
days on a Hamburg-American liner as
the head of the German naval repre-
sentation at the Hudson-Fulton cen-
tenary. )
The reason his excellency is not
crossing with the quartet of cruisers
which will fly the German war flag in
New York harbor is that none of the
vessels is of sufficiently imposing di-
mensions to carry the flag of the Fath-
erland’s grand admiral.
Such a standard will be floated temp-
orarily over the new protected cruiser
Dresden, which will be the flagship of
the German squadron, and is a/splendid
vessel of its class.
The kaiser, it is understood, will be
esj>eciaUy keen about the ranking priv-
ileges of his representative at th^Hud-
son-Fulton celebration, and the selec-
tion of a grand admiral was made with
that special end in view.
The only other grand admiral in the
German navy is the czar of Russia. It
is expected that von Koester will out-
rank any other foreigner in the Hud-
son festivities.

Peary’s Arrival.
