now it seems as IL this, like SO many

conspiracy to protect that district?
"Oswald's testimony Is just as good
as that of any man who protited by
that transaction.
"The truth will fit only with the
truth. Oswald's story-vI don't care If
it came from the mouth of hell!-it fits
with the facts in this case like a glove
on a hand. 1t is a key, unclean, II
you will, but wipe the dirt off of it and
it fits the lock. You cannot say the
same of Broadhead's story. Believe me,
1 would like to say it if I could. His
story of the money transactions and
of his relation to all the events in this
case, fits with none of the facts"
Reviews Case ForcefuIIy
Quietly, persuasively, impressively, he
reviewed the most significant portions
of the testimony for the prosecution,
giving interpretations which were clear
and forceful.
Never once was the argument
marred by attempts at rhetorical elo-
quence such as have made some of
his efforts seem like schOolboy vale
dictories; only once was it marred by
a display of personal feeling, when,
speaking of Harper's efforts to get the
ideas of the press" he added with a
sneer, 1.-THE Lord knows they haven't
any IDEAS"
Speaking of the Oswald district he
asked the jury, Where else in Los
Angeles was there a condition of such
magnitude? 1t is shown to have been
a bonanza in iniquity.
"Those women down there had ac-
cepted the hard conditions of this busi-
ness for money; they liked money as
we'll as any one else. Why did they
stay in that district, and pay 500
month rent for cottages such as could
be procured elsewhere for SIS? You
may be sure they would not have
stayed there, paying such rents, II
there had been no pressure to drive
them there. And for Oswald the privi-
lege and the power of collecting such
rents, by having the women driven out
of other places and protected there,
was worth paying for if he had to pay
for it, and you may be sure he did.
"They say Savage was paid by Os-
wald to quit. Paid $500 a month! When
his houses, If they had been permitted
to run as Oswald's were, would have
paid him thousands of dollars month.
But it was being made as hard as
possible for him to run at all, and he
was glad to accept $500

words:

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
TO MAN WHO FOUND
APEX OF THE GLOBE

NEW YORK, Sept. 3-Rudolph
Francke, the last white man who saw
DR.. Cook before his final dash for the
pole, today added his word of tribute
to his friends achievement.
"Dr. Cook never made a statement
he could not prove" said Francke.
From the day 1 first met Dr. Cook I
was impressed with his perseverance.
He does not know what it means to
quit. His strength of purpose is Won
derful.
when I left DR.. Cook 500 miles from
the pole he was about ready to make
his final dash northward. With hick-
ory sledges of his own design with
some of the best trained dogs in the
polar region and with supply of care
fully dried meats and provisions, he
was confident of success.
"Dr. Cook thought it best that I
should return. He was the commander
of the expedition and ] obeyed without
hesitation.
His Last Words
'Francke,' he said to me, as we
parted on the morning of March 8, I
am going to take a desperate chance
and I have decided that it would be
asking too much to expect you to go
with me. I am willing to risk my life
for this idea and l hope to win. ! have
reason to believe that I shall succeed,
but if I go down I shall go alone
From that day I firmly believed that
he would succeed"
Attorney General Wickersham issued
formal statement today effectually
putting a damper on some of the in
terviews credited to him concerning the
Stars and Stripes floating over newly
acquired territory in the polar regions.
He said:
"a reporter came to see me at my
home last night and asked for my
opinion as to the raising of the Amer
lean flag over the north pole. I de-
clined to consider the matter seriously,
and after some iocular remarks in re-
ply to his questions as to what he
could quote me as saying, I stated that
he could say that I had not given the
matter anv serious consideration"

LATEST W0MAN'S HAT
IN CHICAGO WILL BE
KNOWN AS "DR. COOK

CHICAGO, Sept 3.-Dr. Cook, strug-
Cling against the blizzard blasts OF the
great north, little thought of the fame
that was TO be his when he reached the
top of the world. The newest fashion
in women's hats has been named THE
DIR. Cook"
The DIR. Cook hat is suggestive of the
polar region. 1t seems as high as the
cartOonists' pictures of the pole, although
in reality it is only two feet tall 1t is
constructed of brown fur, fuzzy and ex-
pensiye.
1t is just such a hat as the famous
explorer might have drawn over his
head when the wind blew cold, and it
looks massive and solid enough to fur
nish forth a good soup in case of Arctic
emergency. Further heightening its
chilly effect is a snowlike spray or
aigrette. high up on the left side.

COOK AND SHACKLET0N
WILL BE GIVEN DINNER
PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Plans were
formulated today to secure attendance
at the annual banquet of the National
Geographic society in this city next
December of two famous explorers Of
the polar regions, DR., Cook and Lieu
tenant Shackleton.
The society proposes to present to
Dr. Cook and to Lieutenant Shackleton
handsome medals in commemoration
of their achievements.
Prof. Willis L. Moore, president of the
society, said it was the purpose, if
possible, to have President Taft pre-
sent the medals and to make the ban
quet the most notable event in the his
tory Of the Geographic society.

AUsTRlANs WITHHOLD THEIR
OPINIONS OF POLE FINDER

VIENNA, Sept. 9.-Scientifc circles
in Austria received the news Of DR..
Cooks discovery with reserve. Pro-
fessor Oberhummer, president Of the
Imperial Geographical society, thinks
the links in the chain of his story thus
far received are incomplete.
The question where Cook passed the
winter of 1908-09, according to Profess
sor Oberhummer, especially requires
precise explanation.
Other scientists express skepticism
over that portion of the story about
districts so near the pole being rich in
Wild animals.

sertion.
Dr. Sieglin knows DR.. Cook as an
energetic, cool and daring explorer,
who in the past has overcome every
difficulty between himself and his
aims.
zone must accept in principle the
statement that DR.. Cook has reached
the pole" the professor continued,
"but there is certainly ground to doubt
the correctness of some of the pub
hshed details of his experiences. So
experienced an explorer as DR.. Cook
would hardly choose the unfavorable
months of March and April for his
dash.
THE geographical world is in an at
titude of some skepticism toward
reputed discoveries and we must await
the arrival of Dr. Cook with his proofs.
DR.. Cook seems to have been actuated
by a high spOrtive spirit, as well as
a desire for scientific knowledge"
