"Ahem," said the lieutenant. Then he

Any one who happened to be among the
5000 or 5000 people at the Union station

today that it was the biggest, toughest,

Washington has ever furnished to re-

Reception at Press Club.
At the Press Club after the lecture the

Cook was escorted in. President Spudgeon
introduced him, and he said only a few

CRITICIsEs DIR. COOK.
Local Pastor Says His Lecture Keeps
Folks From Church.

Vigorously criticising DR.. Cook for lee
turing in a local theater on Sunday, Rev.
DR.. c. E. Guthrie of Hamline Methodist
Episcopal Church declared from his pull
pit last night, that he thought it a shame
that the explorer should come to this city,
get theater to open on the Sabbath,
and draw people to listen to lecture of
a secular nature when they should be in
church.
He also arraigned the discoverer for
selling upon his scientific exploits so
quickly as means of earning money

Friends Won, None Lost;
Lecture Makes a Hit

No friends lost and many gained. That
was the apparent result Of DR.. Cook s
lecture at the National Theater last
night.
The great explorer told the story of his
journey to the pole and back. wildly de-
scribing the frightful hardships of the
return trip. Generously he gave full
credit to Commander Peary for his work
of exploration in the far north. And at
his kindly reference to his harshest critic
the audience made the theater rock with
their applause.
Fling at "Polar Trust"
Again DR.. Cook was wildly applauded
when he said he had started to the pole
without any brass band and backed by
no polar trust" This was the only thrust
he made at his critics.
Promptly at S:15 DR.. Cook, accompanied
by President GUIDE OF the Wasnlnstsp ,a
Chamber of Commerce. stepped upon the
stage. His appearance was the slgnai
for a wild outburst Of applause. In the
cheers was apparent the spirit OF nearly
friendship for the explorer In the WORDS
of the street, they were "for him. strong"
DR.. Cook stood in front of the white
sheet on which the stereopticon views
were to be flashed. and bowed and smiieo;
Suddenly the applause died out IL dio
not die gradually, as applause usually
does. It ended abruptly and was imme-
diately succeeded by a hush that was
pregnant with expectancy. Mr.. Gude
stepped forward and. waving his hand to-
ward Dr. Cook, said:

Audience Applauds Wildly.
1t was fully five minutes before Mr..
GUIDE could proceed, for the audience
broke loose again, and cheered and ap-
plauded DR.. Cook more wildly than ever
When the house quieted down MT Gude

DIR. Cook of his welcome to Washington
At it's conclusion the two men bowed TO
each other, and Mr.. Guide left the stage
DIR. Cook walked over to his reading
lamp. gave the signal for the lights to be
turned out and began his talk.
Step by st DIR. Cook carried his ar-
dience with him to the pole and back
again. The pictures thrown on the screen
were intensely interesting. Now and then
a particularly beautiful polar scene would
bring a burst of applause from the au-
dience. When the picture of DR.. Cooks
snow hut at the pole, with the American
flag f1uttering above it, was flashed on
the screen. the cheering was deafening

People Rush Here and There.

Some one saw the machines sneaking
around and there was howl and a rush
to get there first. A train pulled in on
a side track-a little local train that
never heard Of DIR. Cook-and 5000 people
There was no more lane-no order
no anything, but boiling, pushing

Some newspaper men gained the plat
form and met DR.. Cook as he stepped
from the train. Chief Tiser Of the station
police joined them. and gathered squad

about him. They stormed the mob, while
girls. boys, men. women and children,
standing on chairs. boxes-anything-
shrieked and shouted.
They had to drag the doctor through
that mob. 1t was rough-but he smiled
amidst 1t all.
II saw him. l got good look at him..
one woman shouted, totally oblivlous to
the fact that her hat was torn of and
six inches of rat protruded from her
pompadour.
When the storming party had battled
it's way to the door at the north en-
trance half it's members were engaged
in individual struggles for freedom and
breathing room. and were widely
separated from the explorer. At this
front entrance policeman stationed there
to keep order-all by himself-got excited
and threw himself backward onto DR..
Cook and the two men who were cling
ing to his arms to drag him through.
Get back! Get back!" he shouted, and
lunged wildly at the doctor.

ent, that's Cook
Get back!' said the policeman, and he
whirled around, using his arms like a
windmill.
Cop Goes Up in the Air.
You lunatic, that is DR.. Cook" roared
Chief Tiser. The excited policeman
dropped his jaw and looked ashamed.
They lifted the doctor into an auto
mobile.
He waved his hat while thousands of
voices cheered him. and few minutes
later he was safely placed in room 4O1
at the New Willard Hotel, where he
found William GUIDE. president of the
Chamber of Commerce. and a supper
waiting for him.
