After the members of the examining committee had made th¢mselves acquainted jndividually with the material delivered and o convinced themselves of its utter worthleéssness as a means of determining whether Dr. Cook reached the pole, the president of the committee, Prof. Strom gren, cglled a general meeting of the com- mittee for last Friday, when the report to the university, and which 18 now made public, was drawn up. Lonedale, who had been Invited to this meeting to answer some questions, brought with him a.leiter. which he had recelved trom Cook, which bore neither the place nor Aate of its writing. The Gnopened en- velope, however, bore the postmark Mar- swellles, December 14, 1909. The same en- velope contalned a letter addressed by Cook to the former rector of the University of Copenhagen, Prof. Torp. The letter to Torp was dated New York, Seftember 27, 1909, Original Mecord Not Offered. Documents hapded the commission of the University of Copenhagen for examination are: First, @ typewritten report prepared by Dr. Cook's secretary, Walter Lonsdale, and covering sixty-one pages of foolscap Socond, A typewritten copy made by Lens- dale from Cook's notebooks. This occuples sixteen pages of fooltcap and includes a desctiption of the oxpedition during the period from March 18, 1908, to June 13, 105, durihg which, according to the statement, Cook journeyed from Bvartevog to the North pole: 4nd. feturned. to a point on th: polar ice not specitically Indlcated, bu west of Axel Helbers land. The papers were not accompanied by a private letter from Copk, but Secretary Lonsdale stated verbally to the commission that the original notesand books of the explorer from which bls coples were made had been sent to Europe by another routs as o precautionaty measuro and would be delivered to the university in- the. course of o few days . | In presunung the dafa Lomsdale stated explieitly -and répeatedly that the copy numbered two was o complete afid accurate duplication of, the Information contained in all of Cook's notebooks that could be of any importaiice to the university for the purposes of the examination, 1n spite of the explorer's promise and his secretary's assurance that they would be torthcoming the commission is not yet in pospesglon of the original notebook and dlary. ©Oook'Now in Norway. NEW YORK, Dec. 2L—News that the University of Copenhagén had declined 1o accept Dr. Cook's c¢lalm that he had renctieq the North Pole came as no sur- prise, to_sctentific eircles here and to many of his friends who had been prepared for the result by the early Indications that the clainis-would not be favorably passed on. Dry; Cook 18 now n Christlansand, Nor- way, accordipg to Willlam L. Cook, his brother. Mr. Cook said that the dootor had greatly recovered from the nervous breakdown trom which he was sufefring when he left here. Mr. Cook declared the explorer was ready to g0 to Copenhagen to give the uni- versity further information concerning his claims. Dr. Cook mysteriously left the Hotel Grammatan in the Bronx November 24, where he had gone to prepare his records supporting his elaim that he had reached the North Pole. It now appears that he salled November #1 on the steamship Caronia for Naples, where he remained for several days. This Information was col- Jocted In a letter the explorer sent to his brother, who said: “Dr. Cook has authorized me to announce that he is tp Europe {rying to gain a muen needed rest, and that 1s all I can say. At the proper time my brother will .make a statement for publication and until he sees fit to do so there will be nothing for his friends to do but to respeot his wishes and allow him to remain in seclusion.” “Fooled Us All"—Bradley. “He has fooled us all, from the king of Denmark down,” was the exclamation of John R. Bradley, Dr. Cook's backer in his arctic trip, when apprised of the news trom Copenhagen. “And he fooled me with the rest,” Mr. Bradley added “As a matter of fact' continued the sportsman, I lorig ago )hn all Interest in Dr. Cook, the North Poléd.and everything connected with It. Polar bears and the wild life of the Arctic in general are the only things that have ever interested ine nuch in that eonnection. “As for Dr. Cook, I haven't seen him or heard rom him”since he left the Waldort- Astoria to go to Bronxwlle to ‘prepare his records’ for submission to the University of Copenhagon. I wasn't in communication with him while he was at the Grammatan and as a matter of fact hardly had an hour's solid conversation with him all the while he was here after his return'from the Aretlo. “I discounted this deeision from the Uni- versity of Copenhagen some time ago,” continued Mr. Bradiey. “In common with the rest of the world I was delighted with first news from Dr. Cook that he had discovered the pole. His actions, however, and his fallure to make more tham the moagre statements regarding his trip which early followed his return to civilization took some of the smack off the supposed tri- umph. Sick of Whote Affair, “I began to weaken decidedly when Dr. Cook left us all without so much as & word of goodbye, When a man runs away you can't expect his friends to fight for him and Cook's flight=for that's what it seemed to mé to amount to—killed all my Interest in him and his affairs. Before that 1 had never had reason to doubt Cook and his whole course in this matter scems inexplicable to me. “1 am sick of the whole blooming polar business and I don't want to hear any- thing more about the North Pole or any of Its attributes,’ was the characteristic way in which Mr. Bradley summed up his attitude. Charles Wake, Dr. Cook’s closest per- ito sonal friend and the only person beside his brother, who knew the whereabout of the explorer in the last few weeks was 80 dumfounded, when Informed of the verdiot reached by the University of Copenhagen that he gaped for breath and dropped the telephone recelver, “This 18 such a sever blow to me that I cannot now fully appreciate it said Mr. Wake when he had partially recovered his composure. “I had every confidence in Dr. Cook, Yet I am well acquainted with the authorities of the University of Copenhagen, and I know that any verdict they reach Is just and true, “Dr. Cook never expected this adverse declsion I know, for he always spoke with full confidence and the professors would decide that he had gone to the pole. At present I do not know what to think of my old friend, Dr. Cook. Certainly 1 never dreamed of such a fraud as now seems apparent.” Dr. Cook's clalms that he made the as- cent of Mount McKinley in Alaska, the highest peak in America, I8 now under Investigaiion by a committee of the ex- plorers' club here. Dr. Cook promised to appear before the committee after he had completed his polar data, but he did rot do so. His guide, Bdwarda Barrill, who Cook oclaimed went with him up the mountain, came out with an affidavit a few weeks ago declaring they had not been within several miles of the peak, American Soclety to Investigate, WASHINGTON, Dec. 2L.—Prof. Wiills Moore, president of the National Geo- graphle boclety, which through a committee of the body {8 conducting an Investigation intg, the discovery of the North pole, ex- pressed the livellest interest in the inform lon from the University of Copenhagen. “Our own committee,” said Prof. Woore, ‘with Prof. J, Howard Gore as ¢halrman, will continue ite work so that its report may be complete and contain a full his- tory of the discovery of the pole. We hope that the report will be so fair and impar- tlal that the world may understand in all its detalls the controversy respecting the discovery which has arlsen.’ Some of the members of the board of directors of the Natlonal Geographic so- clety saw no reason why anything should be done by them in relation to the claims of Dr. Cook as the discoverer of the North pole. So.far as they were concerned the incident was ended. These members of the board don't care e Dr. Cook's records and are quite ready to let the matter drop so far as Cook {8 concerned.

MISTAKE. OF YEARS IS RIGHTED | White of New York Will Draw Allowance from Treasary, While Mrs, Daniel White of Nebraska Loses. Another strange pensfon case has just bean brought to light through the special pension department of Omaha, fn which & widow of a New York soldier has been established in her right to a pension, and in which another widow, who supposed she had that right, has been deprived of her pension that she has been drawing for severa. years, . Oscar Withrow, a member of a New York infantry regiment, was captured ih front of Petersburg, Va., and was sent to Andersonville prison, where it was reported that he had dled of seurvy. But it now appears that Withrow did not dle, but be- ceme Insate and through some means man- aged to escape from prison. While wander- ing throwgh the south he was conseripted into the confederate army and was sent west to joln Geperal Price. After the dis- persion of Price’s army, Withrow, who had assumed the nmme of Danfel White, went to Montana, and later married as White, never agiin resuming his own name. The family eventually moved to western Nebraska, where White dled several years ago. He had told his wife enough of the service In the union army to lead her to seek a pension as a soldder's widow, though she knew nothing of his later service In the confederate army. Another Daniel White. It appears that there was a Daniel White in the same New York regiment to which Withrow belonged and both were captured about the¢’ same tline, and the original White id die in Andersonville prison. About five years ago, the original Mrs. Daniel White of New York, filed a claim for a pension, which seemed to be indis- putable, but for the reason that a Mrs: Daniel White in Nebraska was drawing that same pension. The special examiners were put onto the case and the facts Avere finally developed after five years that Withrow was re- ported as dead, as was Daniel White, al Andersonyllle. Withrow had never married as Withrow and consequently none of his heirs ever claimed a penston. The further results of the Investigation of the case developed Withrow ta have survived his Andersonville prison experlences, and that he had entered the confederate army as Daniel White, and, after the war, had removed to Montana and subsequently mar- | John Atana, a Sioux Indian charged with red as White, and later removed to Ne- |in roducing liquor into the Yankton reser- braska, where he died. vation, was sentenced to a term of one year and one day In the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., and in addition was fined $100 and costs. James Riley, also a Sioux Indian, con- victed of horse stealing on the Crow Creek reservation, was given a term of two years in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. James F. Six, charged with selling liquor to Indlans at the little town of Interlor, between the Migsourl river and the Black Hills, in western South Dakota, was glven a term of one year and six morths in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, and in addition was fined $100 and costs. This case Is a somewhat unusual one. As the result of the selling of the liquor by S§ix a number of Indians became intoxi- oated, and becoming involved in a fight one.of them was killed. Since this occur- rence the; government authorities have been more determined than ever to put a stop to the selling of liquor to Indians. ‘The case of John Kays against The Great Northern Rallroad company now is on trial in the federal court.

NEW YORK Dec, 21.—~Tweniy-seven modistes Involved In the vast ‘‘sloeper trunk’” smuggling systems, one of the many ramifications of the customs frauds, which have been brought to light at this port, have been Indicted by the federal grand jury and all probably will be under arrest within twenty-four hours, Having obtained all the evidence necessary to proceed, the government began a general roundup this afternoon with the arrest of nine women d four men. All were arraigned before a United States commissioner and held for trial. Caroline Windmuller, held as belng one of the principal offenders, gave bail for $5,(0. The others gave surety in smaller amounts. It 1s alleged that the government Wwas défrauded out of thousands of dollars by means of trunks containing imported finery which were left on steamship plers and secretly removed later. The government will have to try its first big fraud case all over again. The jury in the case of Joseph McMahon, a former assistant customs welgher, reported tonight it had failed to reach a verdict and was discharged. McMahon was paroled under his former bor of $2,000. McMahon was Jointly Indicted with Eustadio D, Papavasi- lopulo, an importer, who has disappeared. LIQUOR SELLERS TO PRISON Court at Sloux Falls Sentences Three from Near Reserva- tion. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Dec. 21.—(Speclal.) —Several of those who had been found gullty by juries during the present term of United States coyrt, or had entered pleas of gulity, appeared before Judge Car- land and had sentences pronounced in their cases. Always Remained a Widow. The original Mrs. White of New York always remained as a widow. Her claim as the widow of Daniel White was fully established and she will not only recelve a pension of $12 per month for the remainder of her life, but a snug amount of arrear- agés. The Nebraska Mrs, White (or Withrow) has been deprived of her pension, but as an Innocent party to the transaction she will not be proceeded against for fraudu- lently drawing a pensfon. It is possible, however, that she may be restored to the pension rolls as the widow of Osear Withrow, regardless of his serv- lee in the confederate army under the name of White.
