(By United Press Leased Wire.)
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 22.-Den-
mark today is divided into three
camps, as far as DR.. Frederick
A. Cooks claims to the discovery
of the north pole are concerned.
A handful of people, including tn :
inspector of North Greenland, still
believe Cook reached the pole; a
large number believe he thinks
he reached the pole; and an over
whelming majority brand the ex-
plorer as the greatest imposter of
modern times.
just Rambled Around.
The generally accepted view IL
that Cook wandered around the
Arctic region in search of the
pole, but without sufficient scien-
tific knowledge to know where he
went.
He emerged from the Arctic,
his critics declare, with deter
mination to make a bold claim
to the discovery, stalking every-
thing on the forlorn possibility
that his meager, unscientific OBJ
servations might possibly oe
substantiated.
Call Him a Swindler.
The mere taking of such a
gamblers chance, the Danes as
sert, discredits Cook as scient-
list: but when he attempted 20
bolster up his claims with obser-
vations he never could have made,
he became a swindler, they al
lege.
Amundsen Still Loyal.
Roall Amundsen, of all Cooks
friends, remains loyal. He de-
clares that the explorer, In an

believes Cook thought he. did.
Gave False Address.
The University of Copenhagen
is being severely censured for ac-
cepting Cooks claims at once, en-
abling him to gain recognition be-
fore submitting his proof. The
consistory committee has been un-
able to find Cook and is now con-
vinced that the address he gave
them was false. His secretary,
Lonsdale, also declares he is in
ignorance of the explorers wherH-
abouts.

(By United Press Leased Wiro.)
BOMBAY, India, Dee. 22.-The
police are working today on the
theory that the assassination last
night of A. NJ. T. Jackson, the
administrative head of the import
ant city of Mask, who was shot
to death in the lobby of a Bonn
bay theater, was the direct re-
suit of widespread plot to MUIR
der English officials. The assas-
sin, native, boasted of his deed
when arrested.
Jackson was entering the thea
ter with two young women when
the native approached and fired
without a word. The official fell
mortally wounded, dying a few
hours later.

OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW
The ONLY SALVATION.

In delivering the opinion
which ousted Sheriff Cazalas of
Mobile from Office for neglect of
duty, Justice Simpson, of the
Alabama supreme court, ex-
pressed with force a great truth
underlying the Same develop
meut of every state of the un-
ion;
Ii must be admitted that the
law is severe and eXacting but
the evil which it is intended to
correct demands trenuo us
measures of prevention. In this
free government of ours, respect
for the laws is the very base
rock upon which must rest ali
our liberties, and if mob law is
ever Iustifable. then the most
cherished principles of that
body of laws which we call
common and which have come
to us hallowed by the wisdom of
ages and which we have imbed-
ded into our constitution are
wrong and the boasted rights
and liberties of the American
citizen constitute a solemn force.
1t is true that critics may
smile and declare that our statute
books are teeming with foolish
provisions which were not ex-
pected to be enforced and which
were not expected to be enforc-
ed when they were framed, hav
ing been adopted only to satisfy
and reduce to calm certain ele-
meuts of the population whose
principal occupation is to dis
cover freak ideas of government
and insist upon ;heir being en-
acted. tits true that oftentimes
legal processes are slow and un-
certain and that justice is many
times defeated by the use of
money and by sharp lawyers who
take advantage of technicalities
to evade righteous conclusions.
1t is lamentable, il is horrible
that such should be the case,
and one of the Hottest aims of
craftsmanship to day should be
the cure of these hateful evils.
But, nevertheless. what Judge
Simpson affirmed is absolutely
true. 10 all governments laws
should be held sacred and obey
ed to the letter, but in repub-
he, a government of the people,
