SUIT GROWS OUT OF DOVER
CALAMITY TWO YEARS
AGO.
REGISTERED MAIL IN SAND,
Several Cars Never Recovered
From Quagmires of Cimarron,
Near Kingfisher, and Uncle Sam
Demands That Railway Com-
pany Make Good,
United States District Attorney John
Kmbry yesterday filed suit on behalf of
the federal government for $6,000 dama-
ges against the Rock Island railroad
company of Oklahoma.
The suit Is the out growth of a wreck
of a passenger and mail train at Dover,
Oklahoma, about two years ago. It will
be recalled that a train of several cars,
including one carrying United States
mail, plunged through a bridge spanning
Die Cimarron river.
None of the cars was recovered. The
bottom of the river at that point is
quicksand and all of the cars soon cover-
ed with water and mud. It in claimed
by the government that the mall car
curried $6,000 of registered mail and it
sues the railroad for that amount.
That wreck and everything connected
with it borders on the unusual. It Is
one of the few railroad wrecks where
the cars wore surrendered to the quick-
sand and the suit following as a se-
quence Is said to be a rarity in lesal
procedure.
Vow. -w. miNTEE, WORKMAK
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Mrs. Bui-
lock Workman, a noted mountain
climber, accompanied by her husband.
\V. Hunter Workman, arrived here on
the Dcutehland, of the Hamburg-Am-
erican line. Returning alter live
mountain climbing in the Him-
alayas, Mrs. Workman said :
In the five years that I have been
climbing mountain peaks in the Him-
alaya range I have reached the top
of. Num Kun. That was in August.
1906, and by scientific and accurate
measurements I ascertained that it
was S00 feet high."
Mr. Workman asked the ship news
reporters not to say anything harsh
about Miss Anna Peck's 'assertion that
she had reached the highest mountain
peak in the world.
"Really, ' she said, ' Miss Peck has
not a leg to stand on. It is a sad
state for noe in her Line of business,
as Miss Peck had no means of meas-
uring tiie altitude that she claims to
have reached. If Miss Peck's claims
ar«- proved T shall be tlie lirjjt to ac
knowledge them.
She spread it all over the world
that she had climbed higher than any
other woman, but I say. 'Let her prove
I am ready to offer my proofs at
any time, as I always carry instru-
ments with rne."
Mrs. Workman is the daughtc
he late Governor "Bullock, of Massa-
husetts. Roth she and her husband
will spend some time in Massachus-
etts before attempting any more re-
cord climbs.

Copenhagen, Wednesday
To the Editor of ill' Herald: —
I honestly believe I have
found th' North Cole and I am
willing to submit all my evi-
dence to pure scientists, astron-
omers and explorers, awaiting'
with calm and clear conscience
their ver i:et and that of the
world.
If Commander Peary says hi
has discovered tin
lievc him. and wliil
enter into controversy with
I him, I feel that in justice to Mr.
John li. Bradley and nth'T
friends 1 must refute the siat.-
ment which Commander 1 eary
is said to have made, that 1 took
his Eskimos and his stores. The Eskimos are
nomads; they belong neither to Peary nor to
Cook, and I paid them ten times the value of
the gun and knife agreed upon at the s!art.
In replv to the foolish charge that I did not

gan Jr.. was elected today to the iatei
K. H. Harriman's place on the hoard
of directors of the National City bank
By Wall street the election is re-
garded as one of the most significant
of the week's financial developments
presumably indicating that harmoni-
ous relations exist between the Mor-
gan and the Kuhn. Loeb-Standard Oil
groups of financiers. Added weight
whh giv en the event because it follow-
ed ho closely upon the recent reports
that the Morgan interests w«*re about I

eminent of the Harriman roads and
that the younger Morgan was slated)
as the ultimate successor of Mr. Har-
riman in the command of the L'nion
