Local Clergyman, Once
 Pupil of Dr. Cook, Has
 UnShaken Faith in Him

Easing his opinion of Dr. Frederick Cook on his collegiate experiences of having the explorer for his Latin in- structor and of being intimately ac- quainted with him, Rev. Morgan Mil lar, pastor of the Olivet Congregational church, firmly believes that the doctor reached the pole from his knowledge of the man he could not believe him capable of a deception.
 Rev. Millar said in explanation of the decision of the consistory of the University of Copenhagen that either Dr. Cook reached the pole and was unable to procure sufficient scientific data to convince a body of men such as the learned Danes of his discov- cry or that the dangers experienced by hin, in the Arctic regions had unbal- anced his mind to such Sn extent that he simply imagined he reached the s0th parallel
