Return Of Dr. Cook

Copenhagen, Sept. B. The steamer Hans Egede, with Dr. CJok, the American explorer, on ooari, passed Cape Scagen, the northern extremity of Denmark aC ? o'clock this afternoon.
 New York, Sept. 3.-The ex- pacted arrival of Dr, Cook at copenhagen, from the epochmak- ing trip to the North pole, which will be cronicIed tomorrow is the most important news item Of the excursion
 IL is confidently expected, oy his friends and supporters that he will then produce incontroverti- ble proofs that he reached the North pole thus allaying the wave Of skepticism which has b e T manifested in the opinions of many of his fellow scientists, both here and abroad.
 That Dr. Cook will fully be able to substantiate his claims is indicated by a brief official state ment from United States Minister Maurice F. Egan, that the report ed discovery of the North pole has been corroberated by Dr. Der ward Jensen, the Danish inspect tor Of North Greenland.
 It is assumed that the Danish Of ficial investigated Dr. Cooks dis covery after the latter left Green land en route to Denmark and that he will be able to confirm them. l.

Did you ever stop to think just what the North pole is?
 It's mystery has made it the theme of rOmancists who have pictured it an ice bound Eden, the home of the earth's most ancient remnants of civilization a mon- strous maelstrom, a great open ing in the interior around whose curving sides even ships might sail, the point at which all the winds of rCh originate, q great bleak, E swept rock untrod and forbidding, a giant peak ex tending it's ice-cap miles into the. frosty air, and other ideas fantas- tic and unreal and clad in the Iii cicism of the unknown.
 And yet except for it's very eX- clusiveness there can be no mys, tery about it.
 The uny question that could be solveL 1y it's discovery is whether orno- the imaginary point on the earth's surface is an open sea, on a great island, on a mountain CT on l moveable ice-lloe.
 Dr. Cook, the discoverer, reports that the pole is located on a blast, bleak ,Iesolate waste of ice, with b, rJlnd only dazzling snow fields.
 The bones of many intrepid ex- plcrers have been left to bleach upon the intermediate wastes, and untold treasure has been expend- l and untold suffering endured in it's efforts to wrest from Ma ture one Of her last and most ak asly guarded secrets.

The Danish Minister of commerce has chartered a vessel in which take the newspaper correspondents Of the world out to meet the Brook lyn explorer and the Danish Geo. graphical Society will meet Dr. Cook on another vessel. From these unusual preparations is evi- dent that pr. Cook vii lhave a quick opportunity to submit his proofs. ~
 Just when Dr. Cook will reach America will not be known until next week. John D. Bradley, the wealthy New York big game hun ter, who financed the expedition expects a cablegram from Dr. Cook soon after he reaches Copen- hagen and then definite arrange ments will be made for his depart ure for America. Just as Den mark has not for centuries paid such homage to another man as it plans to accord Dr. Cook on his ar rival there, it is likely that the ex plorers return to America will not be less noteworthy.

THOSE ESKIMO MURDERERS.

Explorer Rasmussen Defends the Mo-
torious East creenIanders.
Knud Rasmussen, the Danish sci
enlist. who supports DR.. Cooks claim
as to the discovery Of the north pole,
has written a book on life among the
Eskimos which has established his
reputation as an authority.
Rasmussen tells some weird stories
about the horrible murders practiced
by these Eskimos in their earlier days,
but In summing up their general char
acteristics he adds:
II have never in the course of my
travels lived with more cheerful, more
amiable and good humored people than
these east Greenlanders, who. had they
lived in civilized state, would have
paid the penalty Of the law for most
horrible murders
And again, speaking OF the Eskimos
as q whole, he says
There is no people with a history
which, as regards the bitterness Of its
struggle for existence and the eeriness
Of its memories, can be compared with
the best of the Esklmos. Yes, they are
good natured and filed with desire
for peace in spite Of all. But do not
forget that they are, first ana fore
most. men, and men formed by the ma
ture surrounding them. The mind Of
the Eskimo can be quiet and serene,
but II can be savage and remorseless
as the ocean itself"

OBJECT TO SYSTEM
OF ACCEPTING BIDS
AUDITOR WOULD HAVE ITEMS
CONSIDERED SEPARATELY
Makes Written Complaint to Board of
Public Works Against Method of
Awarding Contradictions
Gil Adopts Change

City Auditor Mushet yesterday sent
a written complaint to the board of
public works against the boards meth
cd in awarding contracts. When con-
tracts for a number of items of one
general line of merchandise are made
it has been the policy of the board to
give the contract to the lowest net
bidder.
The auditor objects to this method.
He believes the items should be consid-
cred separately and separate contracts
awarded.
BY making a similar complaint to
the council the auditor induced the
supply committee to change its sys-
tenn of awarding contracts, and now
the lowest bidder on each item Sc
cures the contract.
Some objection was made to this
method by the supply men. They de-
clare they frequently have material
which they are willing to put in at a
low prince in order to bring the total
of their bids low and make their profit
on the other items in the bill.
