It was from this place that Dr. Cook started on his polar expedition at sunrise Feb- ruary 19, 1908. He reports that on March 30 he was in latitude 84 degrees 47 minutes, which is 5 degrees 13 minutes or 362 | miles from the pole, On March 30, at midnight, the sun's declination was 4 degrees 0 minutes north of the equator, and If to this we add 36 minutes for refraction, we get the apparent declination of the sun equal to 4 degrees 36 minutes north, and tts distance from the pole would be 86 degrees 25 minutes, If to this we add Cook's distance from the pole, or 6 degrees 18 minutes, we get 90 degrees 38 minutes for the zenith distance of the midnight sun in the latitude Cook claimed to be in at that time, The midnight sun would therefore be 38 minutes of a degree below his horizon, and would of course be invisible, But the midnight sun was approaching Cook's horizon at the rate of 35 minutes dally, and conse quently must have reached ft on March 31 or April 1 at the latest. Hut Dr, Cook tells us that the night of April 7 was “made notable by the swinging of the midnight sun over the northern tee,” as it marked the beginning of the six months of summer at that pla: Now, If Cook was in the latitude he claims to have been in, HE MUST HAVE HAD A MIDNIGHT SUN AS EARLY AS APRIL 1, But ‘we have no reason to doubt Cook's statement that April 7 showed him his firet midnight sun, as so simple an observation as seeing the sun itself would require neither instruments nor skill in using them, and could as well be made by an untutored Eskimo as by the most intelli- gent white man. Therefore we will accept April 7 as the date of COOK'S FIRST MIDNIGHT SUN, and inquire what conclusions may be legitimately deduced from it. On April 7, at midnight, the sun's declination may be taken as north 7 degrees 4 minutes, and to this must be added the sun's semi- making the declination 7 degrees 65 minutes, in order that the whole sun might appear above the horizon. If, then, the sun was in the horizon of some place at mid- night, the place must be as far from the pole as the sun was from the equator, and consequently the polar distance must be equal to 7 degrees 55 minutes, or its latitude must be 82 degrees 6 minutes, Dr. Cook sivos his latitude at the same time as 86 degrees 38 minutes, There ts, therefore, a discrepancy amounting to 4 degrees 33 minutes fn his lati tude to be accounted for in some way, and this discrepancy is equiva- lent to a linear distance of 316 miles in the place of the observer. COOK 18 DOUBTED. If Dr. Cook’s latitude on April 7 was only 82 degrees 6 minutes, he was then 560 miles from the pole, and in order to reach it on April 21, he must have traveled 39 miles dally. In his journey towards the pole after April 7, nothing ts related of special interest except the extreme precision with which he gives his latitude as determined by bis sextant, namely, 89 degrees 59 minutes 46 seconds, which would give his distance from the pole equal to 1,400 feet, or only 80 feet more than a quarter of a mile. It is perhaps super fluous to add that no portable transit instrument or sextant would be capable of giving that degree of precision, even by @ long series of ob servations, In conclusion, It appears that Dr, Cook's observations show that he was really 650 miles from the pole when he claims to have been only 2M mites from that point. His observations therefore show a discrepancy of 316 miles. The conclusions arrived at in this paper are based upon the assump- tion that the newspaper reports giving April 7 as the date of midnight @ial legisiation imposing conditions which the claimants were either un willing or unable to meet, advised your clients, for your $50 and no expenses and received traveling nervicos you more Glavis Tries to Disoredit. he oe which Mr, Glavin ke to have drawn to your din- credit in this connection is that you, while commissioner of the general land office, came into posseanton of facts concerning the so-called Cun- ningham group of coal land claims which made it improper for you to use wuch facts after your resigna- tion in the course of securing the patents, 1 find the fact to be that as commissioner you acquired no knowledge in respect to the claims except that of the most formal character and nothing which was not properly known to your elients when they consulted you, The evi- dence in respect to which you were consulted professionally was not secured by Mr. Glavis until after your resignation as commisstoner of the general land office, Second Insinuation Unjust, “A necond inference sought to be drawn by Mr, Glavis against you ts that you have acted improperly since becoming secretary of the in- terior in reference to the Cunning- ham cases and have used your in- fluence to Interfere with Mr. Glavis’ efforts to defeat the claims “Your onty action whieh could in any manner affect the Cunningham claims was your order that the 30,000 claims pending and undisposed of in the land office should be pressed to final hearing and disposition as rapidly as posstble consistent with justice, and these Included the 931 Alaska coal claims of which the Cunningham group numbered 19 As such expedition was essential both in the public interest and in that of the claimants, It could hardly be sald to be action taken tn the Cunningham claims. Discharge of Mr. Glavis. “In your answer you request authority to discharge Mr. Giavis from the service of the United States for distoyaity to his superior officera, in making a false charge against them. When a subordinate in government bureau or department has trustworthy evidence upon which to believe that his chief is dishonest and is defrauding the government it is, of course, his duty to submit that evidence to higher authority than his chief. But when he makes a charge against his chief founded upon mere suspicions and in his statement he fails to give his chief the benefit of circumstances within his knowledge that would ex- plain the chief's action, he makes it imposible for him to continue in the service and his Immediate sepa- ration therefrom becomes a neces- wity. You are therefore authorized to dismiss L. R. Giayis for unjustly impeaching the official Integrity of his superior off! ers.” Other Matters. President Taft also refers In his os HARRIMAN LEFT ALL To pay your PROPERTY 10 WIFE WILL FILED TODAY NEW YORK, Bept. 16— The will of Edward H, Harri- man was probated today, read- ing as follows: “|, Edward H.

At the conclusion of the talk Judge Gilliam assured George that he would be given every privilege usually aceorded prisoners at the bar and that if he wanted a lawyer that he would appoint one. “No, no, no, your honor, I'll plead guilty first. I have been jobbed by two lawyers in the city, and I think it is now too late for me to make any adequate defense.” By the second attorney George had reference to Frank 8. Gritfith, of 620 Alaska building, who was ap- pointed by the court, and who fail- ed to show up when George was brought up to plead, Peterson, when seen this morn- ing, dented that George had ever given him the deeds to any prop- erty or had ever told him to sell any. He furthermore said that fn his opinion George ought to hang, and that he did not care to defend a man whom he thought guilty. At the time of the double mur- der George walked Into police head- quarters and announced that he had just shot and killed his wife.

Examined Records. “I have examined the whole record most carefully and have reached a very definite conclusion. It is tm- possible for me in announcing this conclusion to accompany it with a review of the charges and the evi- dence on both sides. It is sufficient to say that the case Mr. Glavis at- tempted to make embraces only specters of suspicions without any substantial evidence to sustain his uttack. “The whole record shows that Mr. Glavis was honestly convinced of the egal character of the ciatms in the Cunningham group and that he was soeking evidence to defeat the claims, But it also shows that there was delay on his part in pre- paring the evidence with which to bring this, with other claims, to hearing 4 that justice to the claimants required more speedy ac- tion than the department, through Mr. Ginvia, seems to have taken, Glavis’ Statements. “Mr, Glavia seeks by quoting from a single telegram in the de- how that at one time the department wished to delay him in his investigations of the Alaska claims and at another time unduly to hurry him, and he attempts to prove these two circumstances by citing telegrams and correspondence without disclosing other oclreum~- stances and correspondence which he knew or had under his control nd which do show an entire proper reason for the action which in each case was directed to be taken. In other words, the reading of the whole record leaves no doubt that In his geal to convict yourself, Acting Secretary Pierce, Commis- sioner Dennett and Mr, Schwarta, he did not give me the benefit of information which he had that would have thrown ght on the transactions, showing them to be consistent with an impartial attl- tude on your part toward the claims in question. Given Office for Merit. “By appointment of Prosident Roosevelt, you became commis- sioner of the general land office in Mareh, 1907, and resigned the position in March, 1908, and then returned to Seattle, your home, to owume the practice of law. In March, 1909, I appointed you secretary of the interior and you assumed the duties of your office n the fifth day of that month. In the interval, when you were not holding office, one of the Cunning- ham coal claimants consulted you in regard to the prospect of securing @ patent upon the claims and in- vited your attention to the character of certain evidence which was being given to impeach the validity of claims by Special Agent Glavis. “You accepted th mployment; visited Secretary Garfield and Com- missioner Dennett; presented the question to them fn respect to which you had been counseled; found that there was no probability of secur- ing the patent of the claims without presenting them under recent reme- fast administration for the purpose of conserving water power sites. These charges by Gov. Pardes, of California, dur- ing the Irrigation Congress at Spo- kane last August.

His mail is being held at his office here, as there is no way of reach- ing San Clemente, and he prob- ably will not learn of President’ Taft's decision until he returns to the main laad next week. Pinchot In Ignorance. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.—All unsuspictous of the fact that dent Taft has given a decision ad- verse to him and to the Roosevelt policies in the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy, Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot today is fishing on San Clemente island, 35 miles out in the Pacific. There is no wireless station on San Clemente island, and Pinchot cannot possibly learn of his defeat until late today. It may be several days before the news of the presi- dent's decision is carried to him. For more than a week the chief) forester, with Senator Frank P. Fitnt, Charles Holder and Stewart FE. White of Santa Barbara, have deen huting on the barren Island. They are the guests of Howard Howland. Pinchot took the trip to rest from his arduous labors of the last month. No date was set for the return of the party. Heney Not Talking. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.— Francis J. Heney today declined to discuss President Taft's decision in the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, and said that his trip to Alaska had nothing whatever to do with the Cunningham coal cases. “My Alaska trip was purely a pleasure trip,” said Heney, “and if there are any reports to the con- trary, they are entirely false.” NEW POSTAL STATIONS Two new postoffice stations for this district have been authorized by the department in Washington, D.

The biggest man in the Buddhist church of Japan is in the city. Among arrivals on the Royal from Vancouver, B. C., this morning was the Reverend S. Otani, brother of the venerable Abbot Count Kozui Otant, who is the uead of the Buddhist church in Japan. The Reverenc S. Otani is himself the second highest dignitary in that church, which has its head- quarters at Kioti Nisi, Honganji, Japan. He studied for several years at Cambridge university, in England, and has visited Africa three times, besides in Egypt, Jerusalem and throughout the whole of Burope in his researches after the true religion. In his travels he has crossed Siberia, and made extensive in- cursions into the various provinces of Russia. He has just returned from New York after touring extensively all over the states, making a visit to Salt Lake City, among other places, where he made a thorough examination into the tenets of Mormonism, During his short stay in this city the Reverend S.
