PRIDE OF UTAH
CITIZENS TO Be
TESTED TODAY
Votes Will Decide Whether This
State Shall Have a Fine
Capitol Building.
POLITICAL PARTIES
ARE ALL INTERESTED
PROMINENT CITIZENS WILL
WORK TO GET LARGE VOTE
STATE OFFICIALS SPEAK.

Today the question Of whether Utah
shall have a state capitol building or
whether it will continue paying out for
rent eacn year over $1,000, partly TO the
city and partly to the county and to many
private Salt Lake concerns, will be settled
by vote of the electorate.
1t is a matter that should bring out
larger vote than Is usual on such Ques-
lions, and with this in mind prominent
citizens took the matter in hand yesSer-
day so far as the city districts are con
cerned.
Automobiles will be on hand to convey
voters to the polls and will call for any
who desire them.
All three parties in the city will con-
tribute workers, teams and automobiles
Governor Spry has asked all employees
of the state who can be spared to help,
and Mayor BransfOTd has given similar
instructions to city employees.
Registry agents viii be at the voting
when the polls open. until o'clock in the
evening, when they close to attend to
transfers. Competent judges Of election
have been secured for all the districts.
Machine Voting Simple.
Last evening the judges were given in
structiOn in the sheTiff's office In the use
of the machine, which this year will be
very simple matter. All a voter has to
do after entering the booth is to place
ner at the word Yes" and swing back
the bar. Until he or she has done this
1t viii be impossible to leave the booth
after having once entered it. There will
be no confusing tickets, no party en-
blems in sight, and IL will not even be
necessary to touch the releasing knob
a the bottom OF the machine, which will
be an Improvement over the operation of
the machine last year.
The judges will be prepared to fully
explain how to vote to any doubtful cleo
tor. and will pull the cord which enclOses
the voter upon entering the curtains.
Machines win be used in all the city dis
tricts, as the law compels, and several
machines will be kept in readiness in
case Of emergency.
The Salt Lake vote will, Of course, be
practically unanimous and should be
heavy. The polling places were printed
IN The Herald on Sunday morning. and
are published again this morning. It
should be easy for any voter to ascertain
where he or she should vote.
Some opposition has developed to the
erection Of the capitol largely through
the efforts Of William Glasmann of Og-
den in his newspapers. Glasmann has
been conducting a press bureau and has
been turning out material for country
newspapers throughout the state. This
and some unfair criticisms have aroused
the governor and the elective members of
the administration to issue the following
statement, which is being given all the
prominence possible at this late date:

AMERICANS CAIN.
Cheaper Insurance De-
fleets Grain Shipments
From Montreal TO Atlantic
Ports in United States.
Seasonal Hazards Of st. Lawrence
River Navigation the Cause.

Montreal, Nov. 4.-Freight and in
surance rates have brought about a
curious situation IN connection with the
shipment OF grain from Canada 10
England. Despite the large increase IN
the grain output from the Canadian
West, Montrea; is getting less of the
grain freight trade than it has had
in past years
The explanation is that freight rates,
from, say Boston to Liverpool, are one
and half cents per bushei cheaper
than from Montreal to Liverpool and
that though the extra cost of trans
porting the grain from the Canadian
West to Boston brings the total cost
of freight from the wheat fields to
England to 12A cents in each case,
the insurance on the freight from
Boston is less than one-third of that
on grain freight on the Montreal route
outward bound.
In other words, American ports are
getting Montrcars grain export trade
because the insurance rates on grain
cagoes from those ports are about 20
Ger cent. less than such freight from
Montreal.

COOK is VERY BUSY
Preparing His Polar Data for Trans

New York. Nov. 4.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, who is here after a lecture
tour in the West, commenced today II
assemble the papers and reports OF
his Polar exploration in preparation
OF the data which he intends to sub
nit to the University of Copenhagen
within the next few days.
DIR. Cook said he would devote his
entire time to the preparation Of his
report to the Danish scientists unit
it was completed and forwarded as he
had promised. He hoped to get il
ready within a week. he said, and in
the meantime he did not wish to enter
into a discussion of any collateral
topics in regard to the North Pole con-
troversy or his proposed trip to the
summit of Mount Mckinley
In regard to the resolution adopted
yesterday by the National Geographic
Society referring the question of
priority at the pole to a committee for
investigation, Dr. Cook declined to say
anything at this time. He would take
the matter up, he said, when it had
been brought to his attention officially

The new theory advanced by l.. L.
Cooper relative to the human stomach
has attracted such widespread atten-
ton that the public in cities visited by
him has been Joined by many physicians
in a discussion of his beliefs and medi-
'cines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis
ease can be conquered without first al
leviatng all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and women
OF this generation are half-sick, owing
to degenerate stomachs. And lastly, he
claims that his New Discovery medi-
cine will rejuvenate the human stom-
ach in few weeks time.
Cooper has been travelling from one
city to another, conducting in each
what he calls campaign of education
For the past year he has met the pub
lie in the larger cities of the country,
and his success has been phenomenal.
Thousands of people have fiocked to his
headquarters wherever he has gone,
and the sale of his medicine has been
beyond anything OF the kind ever be-
fore Witnessed
Possibly the most interesting feature
of the attention Cooper has attracted is
what his army of followers whom he
has converted to his beliefs through his
medicines, have to say on the subject.
The following unsolicited endorse
ment comes from ]. l.. Turk, living at
915 Locust street Vincennes, Ind,
whose statement is characteristic or
thousands received from persons living
in all parts Of the country. Mr. Turk is

New Workers Turned Out
Without Much Warning.
But Il Is Out Of Court Build
ing, Recently Condemned.
Gordon Of $50 Police Around
Building to Protect Public.

New York, Nov. "A Gordon OF po-
licemen, $50 in all, stood guard today
around New YOrk's $2,000,000 criminal
courts building, which the building in
spectors have suddenly found threat
ems to collapse. No one was allowed in
the structure except a few workmen
and IN occasional evicted court official
in search of important papers. All traf-
fic on the surrounding streets has beer
stopped, and car lines send their pas
sengers around by another route.
Meanwhile 900 workmen are snoring
UP the cracking walls and constructing
shield of Pinch beams across the
surface of Lafayette street to protect
the subway beneath from collapse in
case the building suddenly falls into
the street.
Numerous judges and court officials
passed today hurrying around in
search of new quarters. An enormous
number of cases is still on the criminal
court calendar and the cessation OF
business even for few days means
serious ENHANCEMENT. District Attor-
ney Jerome, who with his numerous
staff of clerks and assistants, occupied
offices on the second floor, the coroner
and the offices of the TOmbs police
court are among the others who sud
denly find themselves without offices.
The city's engineers expressed fear
today that the Tombs prison, which
occupies full city block alongside the
criminal courts building, might also be
affected by the slipping OF the treach-
erous earth on which the foundations
of both are built. Several cracks have
been found in the outer walls, but a
searching examination showed that the
prison is not in any immediate danger
and can probably be repaired at small
cost.
The construction OF the city's SUBJ
ways, which run beneath the streets,
both IN front and rear of the two
buildings, is blamed by engineers for
the slipping of the foundations. The
constant Jar caused by passing trains,
It is SAID, has disturbed the earth be-
meath The engineers expressed the
nope tonight that the courts building
nay be saved by driving the fOunda-
ions deeper into the earth. This work,
'owevtr. will take at least six months
and will cost the city many thousand
dollars.

enced mountaineer and says he was
prospecting about Mount Mckinley
when DR.. Cook and his party started.
"Wc saw them go up to the last
bench. which is an ascent of between
5000 and 5000 feet. We watched them
through our field glasses, and saw
them turn back. No man could climb
to the top of Mount Mckinley. The as
cent of the top is impossible, because
the sides are covered with a glare of
exchanging ice which cannot be
scaled, even if an attempt is made to
cut steps in it,
DIR. Cook never reached the sum-
NIT Of Mount Mckinley. and I wan; to
say right here that no other man ever
l..;tde the top. In the first place 1t is a
physical impossibilty, for the peak of
that mountain is pyramid or pinnacle
OF solid, glarng ice. almost perpendic-
vlar And no man could climb up, and
know exactly what l am talking
about.
my statement that DR.. Cook did not
reach the top of Mount Mckinley is not
based on hearsay evidence. for l was
there at the time Dr. Cook and his party
tried to make the ascent There We're
four of us in the party-the McCarty
brothers of San Francisco. Sam May and
myself We were prospecting in the
gulches and along the creeks at the base
of the mountain when DR.. Cook and his
men arrived.
I'VE saw them start up Yetna river,
and they climbed back because the route
was too difficult. Then they went up the
Shushitna river and got up to the wall of
ice which is many miles from the top.
Through the glasses we saw them
turn back and come down. 1 have pros
pected all over the base of Mount McKin-
ley and have been to the point reached by
Cook. Several others have been that high
on the mountain. and that is as high as
anyone will ever get on account of that
wall of ever-changing ice which cannot
be scaled, even though steps were cut In
its side.
"On that trip Cook did one of the most
inhuman acts 1 ever saw in my life. He
left four horses in the river valley to
starve to death. They were saved until
the winter SHOWS fell and after that there
"as no chance for them. We never saw
the horses after Cook abandoned them

NO UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
in the Wheat Carrying Trade at Port
land, Say Steamer Agents.

Portland, Ne, Nov. 4.-John l.. Tor
rance, local agent of the Dominion
Line, when shown the dispatch from
Montreal tonight said that insurance
rates always go up tremendously OF
tie St Lawrence after Nov. l and ne
was not aware that they are any high
er this year than they have been in the
past.
But one steamer has loaded grain
from this port SO far this fall, but
some 100000 bushels will be taken out
III the next 10 days.
Mr. Torrance said that the high in
surance rates furnished perhaps one
reason for the shipment of this grain
from Portland, but it was not the on
ly one.
Agent ]. NJ Biddle of the GRAND
Trunk said that the amount of gran
to be shipped from Portland this month
is a good showing but not abnormal.
