DR. COOK AND COMMANDER P[ARY---THE|R DISCOVERY,
THEIR CONTROVERSY, THEIR PROOFS AND THE RESULTS

throughout the twenty-four hours.
Naturally this means that any ex-
plorer claiming to have located the
pole must have remained there one
entire day-merely for the sake of
confirming this"
Prof. Milton Updegraff, professor
Of mathematics, U. S. ~, and direc-
tor of the Nautical Almanac, further
explaining this, said:
ITO an observer standing exactly
at the pole. the sun would during the
day. move around the horizon at an
altitude of about 10 degrees, the
height slowly increasing as the de-
clination of the sun, the altitude Of
the sun would remain the same.
Upon DR.. Cooks ability to make
these observations with benumbed
hands, no facilities for conveying his
Instruments and the most discourag-
ing conditions for recording them.
rests his claim to discovery of the
pole.
con April 21, when Cook claims TO
have discovered the northernmost
point, there would be the sun for OBJ
servations During the months from
October to February the sun at and
near the pole is below the horizon.
Observations during that period of
darkness would have to be made from
the stars"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured,

BY local appliances, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the mu.
cons lining Of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube Is inflamed you have a rumblIng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is
entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an lnflamed condI.

CASTRO NO "LIBERAToR."
Deposed President Says There's Nc
Such Thing as True Freedom.

BERLIN, January 2S.-Cipriano Castro,
the former president Of Venezuela, was in
terviewed In this city today regarding
certain reports recently made public to
the effect that he was planning a counter
revolution in Venezuela and that it was
his ambition to become the new liber-
ator'' of the people of Venezuela.
Senior Castro received his questioner
seated at desk, He wore a black skull
cap decorated with gold braid, and he was
still looking rather weak as a result of
the confinement that followed his recent
operation. He said
II cannot accept the role of liberator
me, because my experience OF nine years
as president has taught me that true
freedom is chimera, and when we be-
lieve We are about to attain it the
peoples ideas of liberty degenerate into
license. Unhappily. It seems that new
nationalities, like Venezuela, are doomed
10 be the slaves of the passions of their
own sons or the slaves of another nation.
Il am convinced more than ever today
of the wisdom of the words of the great
Nberator, Simon Bolivar, when he was
about to die: L have sown in the sea-
These were prophetic words whose mean
ing repeatedly has been proved true.
IT repeat what | said on another occa-
sion; / do not complain of anything or
anybody. What / desire most Is peace
and retirement"
Senior Castro will leave the private
hospital where he now Is Saturday and
return to the Hotel Esplanade.

the definition Of a miner was "one that
worked at the face of a mine,' and that
this should be borne in mind in framing
a bill to establish an examining board, II
union miners were to obtain full benefit
from the reform.
Mr.. Walker was of opinion that the
state boards xamining candidates and is-
suing certificates to Competent miners
would necessarily be composed Of union
miners. and therefore would be able to
exercise q strong influence to the ad-
va7tage OF the United Mine Wor+erc Of
America in progressive strikes.
The ostensible purpose Of the state
examining board is to assure both miners
and operators that the men In the pit
are skilled and that the danger to life
and property had been reduced to q mini
mum SO far As human agency Is con-
cerned.
President Lewis urged that it should
be specified that tho members Of . state
board should be chosen from working

Brownsville Compromise Bill
May Strike Breakers.
DEMOCRATS ARE OPPOSED
Foraker Hopes to Be Able to Disre-
gard the Minority.
WANTS TO END WRANGL1NG
Measure Provides for Commission
of officers to Report on Each
Re-Enlistment Application.

Now that the leaders of the republican
party in the Senate after two years Of
wrangling. have agreed on a compromise
settlement of the Brownsville affair. the
indications are the democratic members
of that body may delay the dropping Of
the curtain on the last act. The trouble
is that while Senator Foraker can muster
a majority of the republican votes for the
compromise measure the solid democratic
opposition to any re-enIistment measure
stands in the way of its passage.
Notwithstanding this condition of az
fairs. MIR. Foraker Is optimistic. He Is
still hard at work trying to round up
enough republican votes to enable him to
leave the minority out Of his plans en-
tirely.
Both the Foraker bill and that of SEN
ator Warner Of Missouri. the President s
representative in the Senate's investiga-
ton Of the Brownsville affray, provide
for the re-enlfstment of the colored troop
ers under certain conditions. The War
President; the Foraker bill gives COM
mission of retired army officers authority
to decide on each individual applicat ton
for re-enliStment.
The compromise measure, which Is sat-
isfactory to the President and to Mr..
l.
active army officers, to be appointed by
the Secretary of War. and to report to
him on each application.
President to Have Final Say.
This means that the Secretary of War,
or really the President, will have the
last SAY in each case, but it prescribes
the method Of handling the cases and
directs that he shall act on the advice of
a legally constituted board.
Most Of the republican senators have
come to believe that the various investi-
cations of the Brownsville affair have
fixed the blame on no individual. and
that. aside from the question of who is to
blame, q fair opportunity should be given
each discharged soldier to prove his inno-
cence and re-enter the army. That is the
reason the compromise has gained such
headway.
AS for the democrats. they believe the
testimony leaves no doubt that the col
ored soldiers did shoot up the town of
Brownsville. They, therefore. believe
that the Presidents act In summarily
discharging without honor an entire COM
pany was right and no steps should be
taken to ameliorate its effect.
Senator Foraker is appealing to the
Senate to give him a vote on the COM
promise bill as a last request before he
leaves the Senate for good, March 4
next. He Is likely to bring up the Ques-
tion any day and ask for a roll call that
will dispose Of the entire matter as far as
the Senate Is concerned.
