DR, COOK DECIDES TO
 CANCEL LECTURE TOUR
Says He Will Go to Work at
 Once on Polar Data,

New York, Oct 20.-As a result of the charges made in an affidavit by his Alaskan guide, Edward N. Barril, that Dr. Frederick \. Cook did not reach the summit of Mount Mckinley in 1906 Dr. Cook announced that he would cancel his lecture engagements and would devote his time to the prep aration of the data of his arctic tray els for presentation to the University of Copenhagen.
 Before this announcement was made Dr. Cook had been informed of the re- ccipt by the National Geographic so- ciety in Washington of q dispatch from Commander Robert l.. Peary say ing that he would at once submit rec ords of his journey to the pole.
 Dr. Cook said:
 "I feel, in view of all that has ha0- pened in the last few days, that ! ought to cancel my lecture engage ments and get to work at once on ml proofs.
 Il shall turn my whole attention tu the work of getting off to Copenhagen the complete proofs of my trip to the HUI LII lIplNs tiAA opiA . my baA'tA A' iA'N in shape to send 1t right now. Had il been in shape it would have gone bc- fore this.
 The necessity has now arisen, l be iieve, to turn my attention from Ice turing and devote my time to my proofs. 1 expect that l can get the proofs to the University of Denmark within one month or two at the latest. It will take quite some time tO com plcte them so they will be of use to i the scientists
 Wont you need your instruments 1 that were left at Etah?" was asked.
 Ut would be advisable to have them" admitted Dr. Cook. Yes, wish I might have them, but they arc at Etah and cannot be got until neEt ! year"
 Having sent his proofs away, pr. Cook said, he would then organize m i expedition of his own to go to Mount Mckinley. make the ascent and find his records in order to set at rest for ever the doubt that had been raised as j { t,' accomplishment of that climb.

JOHNSON KNOCKS OUT
 KETCHEL IN TWELFTH
Thousands See Negro Win Big
 Championship Fight.

Colma. Cal, Oct. 20.-Jack Johnson retained the heavyweight champion ship of the world by knocking out Stanley Ketchel in the twelfth round of what was to be twenty round bout in the big open air amphitheater here. The end came so sudden that when Ketchel rolled to the floor and Referee Welsh counted him out the 10000 per sons crowding the arena were abso- !utcly quiet fer a full minute. Even Johnson, who leaned against the ropes half dazcd by his own fall a moment before. did not seem to know. what had happened.
 The climax of the fight was crowd ed into thirty four seconds. At the beginning of what proved to be the last round there had been little in the preceding rouI.ds on which to forecast the winner. The men clinchcd in the center of the ring and wrestlCd to JChnson's corner. The negro brOke away and. posing himself, dashed at Ketchel, who sprang to meet him. Ketchel drove his right d the blacks lowered head. Johnson duckel, and the blow landed behind his ear. He stumbled, fell and landed heavily on the floor.
 Ketchel backed toward the ropes with q faint smile on his battereI, blood streaked face. Johnson rose slowly as though dazcd. As he strengthened to his knees he looked at Ketchel and like a wild beast leapel ! l,n hof tpI them. His right fist shot to the white mans jaw. His left crashed to the stomach. and the right swung again with the speed of lightning, catching Ketchel's head as he recled back.
 Ketchel dropped in heap, and John son, unable to stop his rush, sprawlcd across his beaten rivals legs and fell ! full length himself.
 The negro Srrarg to his feet, but kctchel was cut. Once as the seconds were counted over him he feebly nov ed, then lay still.
 Johnson outwcighcd Ketchel at least twenty-five pounds and lowered three inches above the white man. but , Kctchel never refused the issue and made one of the gamest fights ever seen in d California ring.
 KetchCl. battered and cut on head and face, presented a sad sight as he left the arena, fallen hero. The negro's clcverncss proved the undomg l of the white man. Johnson easily ] evadcd the heretofore deadly left shift Of the Michigander. and Ketchers ] gloves passed harmlessly around his 1 shoulders or were caught on his fore arms.
 l In the early part of the fight John 1 son displayed his usual caution, and his defense bewiIdered Ketchel. But Ketchel kept trying in every round and until Johnson put over the punch i that settled the fight
 JohnsoNs defeat of Ketchel clears 1 the way for d battle between him and l James J. Jcffries.

for the laboring man was recently sug-
gested by Dean Walter T. Sumner Of
Chicago as a long step toward the So
luton Of the problem of poverty in an
address on l"Chicago and Her Laza-
rus" at the MONDAY Lenten service in
the Chicago Opera House. Dean Sum-
ner said:
much of the poverty in our city is
the outcome of ignorance. Education
will be one of the most important fac
tors in the solution of the problem of
the poor. But how can we educate
when those whom we seek to reach
have no leisure moments outside the
grind Of their labor? The industrial
conditions Of today are forcing the la
boring man into rut and keeping him
there. The overworked Lazarus is one
of the most pitiful sights of modern
times. We cannot help him by gifts
of art galleries, parks and museums.
What he needs is square deal. We
cannot solve this problem all at once
But believe that one long step in the
right direction would be the cessation
of labor one day out of the six work
ing days Of the week."

Editors Likeness Outlined In Pillar In
Senate Office Building.
There is only one picture in the new
senate Office building at Washington.
The face of William Randolph Hearst
ornaments the main assembly room Of
the committee on claims. Senator
Burnham. chairman of this committee,
didn't order the Hearst likeness and
is powerless to, direct that 1t be re-
moyed-in fact, it might be necessary
to tear down a section of the big Office
building to get rid Of the Hearst face.
A few days ago one of Senator Burn
hams clerks discovered that the veins
In the marble of one of the large pill
lars in the claims committee room out
lined likeness Of Mr.. Hearst. Since
then hundreds of visitors to the Office
building, including a dozen or more
senators, have seen it. "That's Hearst,
sure enough" said Senator La Fol-
lette when he visited Mr.. Burnham's
rooms the other day. Other members
Of the senate agreed that the face in
the marble is striking portrait of the
New York editor.
There has been considerable specula-
ton as to whether the Hearst likeness
is q freak Of nature or whether in the
cutting and polishing of the marble
shaft a workman by deft skill fash
toned the face.
