dent of Santa Clara college, to have
received a cablegram this morning
from DR.. Frederick A. Cook, announc-
ing the success of his polar expedition.
to enter her son as a student at the
college. This morning, according to
Father Gleeson, she telephoned TO tell
him the news she had received. Ihe
message she read to him was as fol-
lows:
Have placed the stars and Stripes
over the North pole"
She explained that it was from Or.
Cook and had been sent in accordance
with an agreement between them that
he would let her have the first news OF
the fate of his expedition.
Mrs. Martz left on morning train,
and it was understood at the callege
that she was going to San Francisco

ance between them. Mrs. Mertz SIS
ter, visiting in their home here, also
denied any relationship. Mrs. Martz

FLOODS DELAY FIVE
. WESTBOUND TRAINS

WOODSIDE, Utah, Sept. 1.-Five
westbound trains of the Denver & Rio
Grande, with about 600 passengers,
were tied up here last night owing
to a washout of about fifty feet of
track at Verde, sixteen miles west of
here. Construction crews have been
sent to the scene from Helper and
Green River. Eastbound passenger
trains are tied up west of the wash
out.
Conductors of the five trains at noon
yesterday were instructed to feed all
passengers free of charge.
The heaviest rains in years fell in
this section yesterday. Cattle, horses,
bridge timbers and about everything
imaginable are coming down the Price
river Much damage will result to
ranchmen through the loss of crops.
The wires are working badly, so that
the damage to the west of here is not
ascertainable.
Advices from Verde are that 1S0 feet
of track is gone, with fill to make
of an average of fifteen feet high. Gin
ders are being hauled to the scene from
Helper and elsewhere, as well as nu-
merous cars of coke from Mounds and
Sunnyside.
Large construction forces are being
brought from east and west, including
the grading outfits at work on the
double track between Helper and
Colon. Vice President Shively of the
Baltimore g. Ohio, with party of
friends and officials and their ladies
in a private car are at the tail END
of the tied up trains at Woodside.
No more trains will be permitted to
move to this point until the .conges-
ton here is broken, but will be held
at Green River and Helper. Assistant

NORTH POLE SOUGHT
FOR MANY CENTURIES

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-The dream OF
finding the north pole has for centu-
Iies lured explorers, scientists and Gar
inc adventures. That this dream has
now become a reality by the achieve
ment of DR.. Frederick A. COOK OF
BROOKLYN rests upon the reports capied
from Copenhagen, apparently through
an official source and upon DR.. COOK
express declarat tion in a dispatch TO
the observatory at Brussels from Ler-
wick, Shetland Glands:
Reached north pole April Il, 1908
Discovered land far north. Return TO
Copenhagen by steamer Hans Egede'

At the same time DR.. Cook cables
Iaconic message from Lerwick saying:
"Successful. Well. Address Copen-
hagen"
Several days must elapse before any
further confirmation is available. The
Danish government steamer Hans
Fgede has left Lerwick bound for Co
penhagen. where she is due next Sat
urday.
Some of the most recent or note
worthy attempts to reach the north

-soThe most extraordinary feat in

Adolphus w. Greeley, commander OF
the Lady Franklin bay international
Polar expedition from the United
States in 1884, when informed tonight
of Cooks success.
"Dr. Cooks achievement reported by
the Danish colonial office" said Gen
eraI Greeley, -lnust be viewed as the
most extraordinary feat in polar eX-
nlora tions He was practically with
out what previously had been consid-
cred to have been an indispensable
equipment for extensive polar travel.
''The attainment of the north geo
graphical pole by an American is an
achievement that merits the highest
possible acknowledgment and consid-
GRAFTON by the American people. AS
one who once beat the record, l offer
my hearty congra 'ulations."
General Greeley's party reached SO
degrees. "a minutes north, thus pro-
ceeding further toward that much

this country again their numbers had
been reduced by death to seven. At

EXPEDITION SURVIVOR

CONFIDENCE IN COOK

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Amos
Bonsall; the only survivor of the Elisha
Kent Kane North pole expedition that
left this city in 1853, only to meet dis
aster at point estimated at 700 miles
short of the goal. was intensely in
terested in the report of the success of
DR.. Cooks expedition.
"I shall believe that DR.. Cook has
discovered the pole until the contrary
Is proved" said Mr.. Bonsall today, ''for
I have always felt that an American
would do it. 1 think the extraordinary
pluck manifested by Dr. Cook deserves
this reward. He went north practi-
cally on his own hook.
"Of course, DR. Cook will bring ma
terial evidence. of the discovery or he
will be able to give convincing data.
otherwise scientific men will be in
clined to question the claims.
1.-THE rigors of that region are such
that it is almost impossible to conceive
of human beings surviving at all. 1t
is. and always has been a question of
endurance and little else, of willing
ness to endure things of which the
average mortal has no conception"

UNSUCCESSFUL EXPLORER IN

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Rear Ad-

tired. who conducted several eXpedl-
tions into the Arctic regions, was in
elined to discredit the report from Cop
enhagen that the north pole had been
discovered by DR.. Cook.
Il did not know that DR.. Cook had
an outfit available for that purpose
he said, land l don't think the report
can be true DR.. Cook has been wan
dering in those parts for some tlnle. II
is inst possible that the story ema-
mated from some Danish skipper who
has just returned from the north
When asked what would be the value
of the discovery, if the authenticity OF
the report was confirmed, Admiral Mel
willie said:
For one thing it would put an end
to the Arctic fad. The only use to
which the discovery could be put
would be of a scientific nature"

LONDON IN FUR0RE
OVER COOKS LUCK

LONDON, Sept. 2.-Dr. Cooks feat
has created the greatest interest among
all classes here especially geographers'
The brief telegram concerning MS
achievement printed in last evening
papers. together with sketches OF Dr'
Cooks records and all known preliili- M,
naries of his expedition, were read win
the utmost eagerness and there Is the
greatest curiosity to hear the story OIL
the explorers triumph.
The news was Immediately sent TO
King Edward at Marienbad and he dis
played the greatest interest.
The London morning papers give TINS
the premier place and print every
available item concerning DR.. Cook
explorations.
E1ditoriallv. however, the papers In
general, while giving ungrudging hon
or to DR. Cook as man of reputation
ven fitted to achieve the triumph, are
Inclined to skepticism and think 1t ad>
visable to wait details from DR.. COOK
himself. .,
some disappointment is expressed
that Great Britain thus has been ROB
he'd of the envied honor, but there Is
satisfaction that 1t goes at least TO a
man of Anglo-SaXon blood, bearing d
name already famous in sea story
Lieutenant Ernest H. Shackleton IN
n. special article contributed to a morn
ing newspaper says:
II have very recent recollectlons OF
the hardships of the struggle in ice
hound regions. Therefore, 1 can realize
the effort DR.. Cooks feat cost and feel
a personal pleasure that 1t has peeh
crowned with such success.
''Of course the attainment or either
pole will stop the fitting out or eX-
Deditions designed solely to reach the
pole. but even after both poles nave
been reached scientific explorations VIII
continue to penetrate the polar regions

will Temain a vast field for sclentlnc
study and research.

ONLY BALLOON LACKING TO MAKE
HEARTY FERRIS WELCOME PERFECT
ACTOR-M MANAGER AND WIFE ARE
GREETED BY FRIENDS
Dick Reiterates Statement That Los
Angeles Is Good Enough for
Him and He Intends TO
Stay Forever

T HERE was only one thing lacking
when Dick Ferris and his wife,
Il known perhaps better by her stage
name Miss Florence Stone, stepped off
the Salt Lake limited, on time to the
dot. at o'clock last night, to be
greeted by the heartiest kind of well
come from a big crowd of friends.
The one thing lacking to put Dick
into tune with his future slams at the
clouds and the figures of the weather
sharps was the big paper balloon that
Cap Ryus, Dicks mining partner
and well known auto man, had forgot
ten to bring.
But even without the balloon the well
come accorded to the actor-manager-
balloonist-automobi mining man was
one of the heartiest ever rendered a re
turning Los Angeleno after wanderlngs
in stageland in the middle north.
Long before the Limited was due
"Cap''Ryus was on hand in Dicks own
big car. 1.-THE old boy can go home in
his own blue machine If he doesn't do
anything else said Ryus. IL ne
broke he won't have to ask anyone for
a nickel carfare anyhow'-and the
cap laughed, for he had heard about
the crowded houses at the Metropolitan
theater in Minneapolis.
Next to blow in with a big "Corbln'

Alaskan" and well known to Los An
geles theater goers through his connec-
tion with the Burbank and Majestic
theaters.
Charley Pike, the big passenger agent
of the Salt Lake, joined the rapidly
growing crowd of Ferris welcomers,
and Jack Keogh arrived just in time
with his Sunset" car to dodge on to
the platform and say Hello.

me valuable information which proved
of great service to me on the Discovery
expedition. He impressed me as being
well fitted for polar exploration From
the meager news received today ne
seems to have made an average Of
twlve miles daily from Cape Columbia
to the pole-very good progress, indeed,
considering the difficulties of the Ice
packs.
Remembering the experiences of
Markham and Peary, it must be inn
agined that Cook had extraordinary
good luck in getting northward at such
speed. He does not appear to have

which starts at a point considerably to
the eastward of Cape Columbia, SO
that 1t is scarcely fair to suggest that
he has taken Peary's route"
Captain Scott believes the absence
of FRANKIE, his only civilized compan-
ion, placed DIR. Cook in an awkward
position If he wished to return with
corroborative evidence, but it could
scarcely be expected when he saw the
possibility of reaching the pole simply
with the aid of the Esquimaux that he
would forego the journey only because
he was not accompanied by another
civilized man.
Captain Scott said that if an Ameri
can had succeeded in reaching the pole
1t must be remembered that that coun-
try is on top in pioneer efforts. Great
Britain still holds the premier position
in Anarctic exploration, and he added
that it was to be hoped Englishmen
would not let sip the honor of the con-
quest of the south pole by neglect such
as had been shown lately in north pole

EXPLORERS IN GOTHAM
PAY TRIBUTE TO MAN
WHO FOUND THE POLE

NEW YORK, Sept. L-Several ex-
plorers now in New York today paid
tribute to DR.. Cooks achievement.
Anthony Fiala, author of Fighting
the Polar Ice," who has made two
trips to the Arctic regions, said:
"Dr. Cook well deserves. the honor he
has won, and l am heartily glad that
his efforts have been successful"
Evelyn B. Baldwin, organizer of the
Baldwin-Zeigler expedition, was in
clined to await fuller reports from DR..
Cook before giving full credence to the
report.
1.-THE task of reaching the pole, he
said, lis stupendous and the man who
first accomplishes it deserves great
credit"
Captain Bradley S. Osborne, secre-
tary of the Arctic club, who has been
twice in the Arctic ocean and once in
the Antarctic, was confident that the
reports of DR.. Cooks success were cor
rect.
II am confident" said Captain Os-
borne, that he will have ample data
to prove his claims, too. His daily OBJ
serVations, his photographs of polar
scenes and his notes on the geography
and topography of the unknown north
are likely to prove about the most in
teresting reading that has been put be-
fore either scientists or laymen in re-
cent years.

because of his generosity in letting
everyone else out first. But when ne
did appear there was shout of well
come.
And just behind him was Mrs. Ferris,
as handsome and winning after the
long days of travel as ever she was on
the boards of any theater as Miss
Florence Stone.
There were many women friends of
Mrs. Ferris present, and the happy
couple held an impromptu reception on
the platform before they were hustled
into the autos, merry friends and all,
and started on the way home
"You can say this for me-" said Dick
as he stopped for a moment at the
Hotel Alexandria. We're both glad to
get back. You can't jimmy me out of
this town again. Los Angeles is good
enough for me. and you can put the
down for that for good.
Minneapolis was good to us and we
appreciate it, but old Los Angeles is
the town where Ferris stays now"
