IS NEAR NORTH POLE
PossIsLE DR.. FREDERICK z. COOK
HAS ALREADY REACHED GOAL.
ATTEMPT WAS UNPRECEDENTED
Yesr Ago Last Spring Started on
Hunting Expedition, With No
Thought Of Making Dash.

New York, N. W.-Letters re-
csived here by Anthony Falls and
other friends OF Dr. Frederick y. Cook
lead them TO believe he has. practl-
cally alone and unaided, discovered
the North pole. II he has not actually
made the discovery he Is believed
to be within striking distance, ana
news of his success Is thought TO be
only n matter OF time.
No word has been heard from DIR.
Cook since March II last. He was
then on the polar ice north OF Cape
Thomas Hubbard. about $50 miles
from the pole. He was the only white
man. with several Eskimos and a big
equipment Of dogs. sleds and sup
plies. When he wrote then he was
on the eve OF making n desperate dash
for the pole over the ice.
Dr. Cooks wife and two children
live a. go Bushwick avenue. Brook.
Ign. Mrs. Cook is not alarmed about
her husband and is confident he will
return safely. She has supreme faith
in his ability TO overcome the rigors
Of the life In the arctlcs. Though there
is now little chance OF hearing from
him before next summer at the earli-
est, she is facing the situation calmly
and without misgiving.
DIR. Cooks attempt 10 reach the pole
was unprecedented. A year ago last
spring ne started on hunting expedi-
ton with John r. Bradley, a wealthy
New Yorker. who had hunted game in
polar regions. MIR. Bradley bought a
ll0-ton Gloucester fishing schooner
with an auxiliary gasoline engine. re-
named her the John r. Bradley, and

EIoHT.HoUR LAW VALID.
Employment Of Men Longer on Public
Works lnvaIidates Contracts.

Albany, n. Y.-The court of APP
peals Tuesday decided unnni
mously that the section of the labor
law known as the eight.hour clause
was valid. and that no workman upon
public work should be employed for n
longer period In any one day. II also
decided that any contractor who
works his men longer than eight
hours invalidates his contract.
The question was raised In the ac-
ton brought by Williams Engineer.
ing and Contracting Co. against Her.
man A. Metz, comptroller OF new
York. to compel him to pay the com
pany about $4,000 on a contract for
the completion OF sewers in tho
Bronx. The comptroller refused pay.
ment on the ground that the cOntrac.
tor had violated the labor law, in
that ne had employed his men more
than eight hours a day and Ad not
pay the prevailing rate of wages.
The court of appeals reverses the
lower courts decision. which directed
the issuance OF a peremptory writ ot
mandamus for the payment OF the
amount demanded by the company.
The highest court is unanimous in
its decision. Nearly $4,000 is In.
yolyed in this contract.
