COOK MERELY NODDED
When He Heard of Attack on Danish
 Explorers Report.

Duluth, Minn., Oct. 23.-Commander Peary's latest move in the polar con troversy, his dispatch to Washington friends regarding the Rasmussen story. brought nothing but a nod from Dr Cook when he learned of it here today The doctor intimated that 1t was unlikely that he would take any particular notice of the attack on the Danish explorers report
 Neither could pr. Cook be induced to say anything regarding the dis patch from Missoula that his agents in Montana had secured satisfactory evidence that Barrill's affidavit relat- ing to the ascent of Mt. Mckinley was the result of Inducements. His only comment on that dispatch was that General Weed evidently had been mis- taken or misquoted regarding his go- ing west. as it would be impossible for the explorer to go to Montana be- fore the latter part of November. and possibly not until the middle of De- cember
 Cook will go directly to New York from Minnesota on Monday night, and will devote his time to preparing his report on the north pole trip for sub mission to the scientists. After that is done he will feel at liberty to take up the Mt Mckinley matter in Mon tana or wherever else it may seem best to do so.
 Dr. Cook also dictated message to Professor Torp of the University of Copenhagen. The text of the message is: Hope to send Mir. Lonsdale with data and records in about a month. Instruments cannot be sent until next year"
 Dr. Cook stated that his lecture tour will be abandoned for the purpose of completing the data as early as possible. to be forwarded to the Uni versity of Copenhagen.
 The instruments. regarding which there has been so much comment, will be sent for next June. according to statement made by pr. Cook today. This will bring the instruments to this county some time next Semptember.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
 FOR RICH AND POOR A THING IN WHICH AMERICA
 lAGS. Views Expressed Before American Federation Committee.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-The social and industrial conditions in the United States demand that industrial educa- tion for rich and poor alike should be democratic.
 This conclusion was reached by many prominent leaders of working men and industrial educators. ad- dressing the American Federation of Labor committee on industrial educa- ton today.
 Suggesting that European countries were far ahead O. the United States in the matter of fitting young girls and boys for. a trade. Charles F. Richards of New York City, organizer of the National Society for the Pro- motion of Industrial Education. argued that the committee should fight for a plan that would relieve the American school boy of the confusing plight of not knowing what to do when turned away from school. He declared that more than one-fourth of the boys left the public schools in New York before graduation. because they were sick of it." This he regarded as due to the lack of industrial training
 President James Duncan of the fei- eration strongly endorsed the proposi- ton of introducing industrial training into the last grades of the sIanimar schools.

tion purpose:

The foregoing will be news which will gladden. the waiting population of Parker. where belated hope has bred a sickness of heart.
 The townsite of Parker was or dered set off more than a year ago, and the people there, proceeding upon the belief that the next early step would be distribution of the town lots, went about building a town. more or less permanent. the same as if the lots had already been dis tributed. Up to this time the gov ernment at Washington had acted with commendable promptness.
 It seemed certain that the people of Parker would own their own lots by the beginning of last summer at the lftest
 Then came an order for the ap- praisement of the lots. In due time, that is. in some weeks a telegram was received by The Republican stating that the appraisers had been ap- pointed.
 In another due time the appraisers appreared on the ground and per formed their task with d celerity which satisfied the least patient of the Parkerites. They occupied less than two weeks and sent in their re port. Following close upon the heels of this step came word that the re- port had been approved.
 That was more than two months ago. and ever since then Parker has declined to take an interest in any thing else. The Announcement of the discovery of the pole by pr. Cook hardly created a ripple along the Colorado. Peary's subsequent ap- pearance on the northern horizon never stirred Parker.
 The announcement of the coming to Parker of Secretary Ballinger was the Iivest bit of news Parker has had and that event was looked forward to as having a direct bearing on the townsite sale. No doubt it had. since the instructions for the sale followed so quickly upon the secretary's visit last Thursday.

ROYAL RECEPTION
 0f EMPEROR NICHOLAS
Even the Common Italians Were
 Apparently Overjoyed.

Raccogni. Italy. Oct. 23.-On Elm peror Nicholas triumphal entry into Italy today, whatever may have been under the surface, there was an out ward manifestation of a cordial popu- lar welcome to the head of a friendly state. Threatened demonstrations were sternly suppressed and there were an imated crowds on the city streets. Houses were decorated with bunting and flags, carpets were spread before the doors and there were triumphal arches An extraordinary military guard attended the emperor from the moment of his entry into Italy through the famous Mont Cenis tunnel. which was lined with soldiers almost close enough to one another to touch hands.
 Troops prevented crowds in the vil- lages from approaching the railroad line This served to stimulate the cu- riosity of the people who, when crowd ed to the rear by the soldiers. climbed to the treetops to view the passing train and shouted with waving hats. Long live Russia" Long live the emperor"
 Women threw bouquets over the heads of the soldiers and against the train. At the station Emperor Mich olas was met by King Victor Emman- uel and high government officials in gaily bedecked carriages.

CLOSING NIGHT IS
 MOST SPECTACULAR
THE END OF THE GREAT POR-
 TAlA FESTIVAL.
All Earlier Efforts outdone in Scenic
 Representation.

San Francisco. oct. 23.-San Fran cisco's streets were one vast ballroom tonight and the flying feet of thous- ands of sailors made the hard asphalt seem like springing spruce as they glided through waves of confetti at the seven stationary floats from which as many bands sent forth strains whose dying echoes marked the close of the festival.
 Almost a million people crowded the sidewalks as the parade of illuminated floats passed in review. In those floats San Francisco outdid her repu- tation for love of pageantry. One of them weighed 10000 pounds and all were on a scale of magnificence which has seldom been attempted.
 Californias history from the discov- cry of San Francisco Bay by Portola to the discovery of gold were set forth in graphic scenes. The building of the Central Pacific and the driving of the last spike by Leland Stanford were portrayed on the float by students from Stanford University. The gamb- ling hall and the pioneers and floats emblematic of the natural beauty and resources of the state stirred the crowd to volleys of applause
 one of the most striking of the scenic floats was that showing the Yosemite with it's froyning cliffs over which real water fell in cataracts. The discovery of the north pole" with both Cook and Peary mailing the flag to the great nail" had for decorations huge cakes of ice in which were frozen fish and green streamers of smilax. the whole illuminated by 15O0 incandescent lights.
 During the day many events scat tered the crowd. some going to the bay to watch the regatta. others to the park stadium or to the tennis courts.

THIS GOVERNMENT SCORED
For Making Its Secret Ser vice An Instrument in the Hand of President Diaz For Punishment of Politi- cal Enemies

Los Angeles. Oct. 23-At a mass meeting held here tonight. speeches protesting against the proposed de- portation of L. Gutierrez de Lara to Mexico were made by prominent Los Angeles citizens. including Judge John D. Works, a former superior court judge A collection was taken to as sist in defraying the expenses of de Lara's defense. and resolutions were adopted. Mrs. de Lara. the American wife of the imprisoned Mexican attor- ney and author. was given an ovation by the two thousand persons present when she was introduced by Rev. Rev mold E. Blight of the Los Angeles Eel lowship. who acted as chairman of the meeting.
 The first speaker was John Kenneth Turner. the American Magazine writer and author of "Barbarous Mexico" now appearing in serial form, who was guided through Mexico by de Lara. Turner said that the deportation of de Lara means his death. He. scored the Les Angeles police force for their alleged assistance given the Mexican government and stated that the de- partment of justice and the secret ser vice of the United States had been placed in the hands of President Diaz to do his work, because of the priv iIeged American interests in Mexico.
 Judge Works severely arraigned the local police and the government off cials. T am not here to denounce the Mexican government" he said, but to deal with our own country. We have evils enough here" He stated that he had made an impartial inves- tiGation of de Lara's arrest and had ascertained that it was wholly without warrant or authority Of law. He des- ignated as an outrage and d violation of the constitution the arrest by the secret service and other officers of men said to be dangerous" before the arrival of President Taft in various cities.
 These men must unearth an an- archist once in a while or lose their jobs" he said. They make the pres ident believe that he is in constant danger of death, which in my judgment is deIusion."
 Other speakers were Attorney. Job Hartman. former socialist candidate for vice president: Rev. Frank | Wheat and Stanley Wilson editor of The Citizen. The resolutions which which were adopted protested against the arrest of de Lara as an alien an- archist, and declare belief in his inno- cence They criticize the government officials for lending aid to effect the return of political refugees to foreign countries. Copies will be sent to the president and the department of com merce and labor. De Lara is still in jail.

SUBJECT NOT DISCLOSED
But Supposed to Relate to Railroad Interests of For mer in Manchuria Which May Pass to Information al Syndicate

St Petersburg. Oct. 2S.-Russian and foreign diplomatic circles ascribe great importance to the netting at Harbin on October 26 of NJ. kOkOysoff, the Russian minister of finance, and Prince Ito. president of the privy council of Japan, although the exact motives impelling Japan are not known The subjects to be discussed were not suggested in the Japanese overtures. and NJ Kokovsoff. in accepting the in vitation to meet Prince Ito, barred political questions. He said that he was competent to discuss only finan- cial and technical subjects, those covering the status of the Mahchurian railroads which have proved such a financial incumbrance.
 Russian statesmen are seriously considering the sale of the Russian railroad interests in that territory. The Japanese proposal to purchase the portion of the railroads remaining in Russia's hands might be entertained by Russia because of internal cOmpli cations. It is understood that Japan is ready to make tangible offers. and the Russian government is disposed to look with favor on a proposition for the sale of the Manchurian lines either to China. financed by ar international syndicate. or to such a syndicate di- rect.
 It is authoritatively stated that overtures for the purchase of the lines were made during the summer by a group of financiers with which F. H. Hartman was connected. but these have lapsed since Harriman's death
 The railroads that may be sold in clude both the main line and the southern branch from Harbin to Port Arthur. The Russian title runs about thirty years. after which it passes to China. Only China's lack of finances prevented earlier negotiations for the transfer of the title before its expira- ton, both Russia and China having agreed to this in principle.
 The placing of the North Man churian railroad under international financial control would have far reaching political consequences, as it would virtually create a buffer state to safeguard the political integrity of Manchuria until China is strong enough to assert herself.

Washington. Oct. 23.-Commander Peary telegraphed his scientific friends here today that it was impossible for Knud Rasmussen. the Danish eX- pIorer, to have seen any members of the Cook party. and any information Rasmussen may have received was. therefore. not at first hand.
