SOME THINK HIM DELUDED
But the Great Majority Of Them Be-
Believe He Is the Biggest Impostor
Of the Age--StrOng Effort Be-
ing Made to Find Him.

Copenhagen, Dec. %. - Denmark is
divided into three camps to-day over
the claim Of DR.. Cook that ne discovered
the north pole. A few people, including
Inspector North OF Greenland, believe
that the explorer reached the poles a
still larger number believe that Cook
thought he reached il; but the great
majority believe the man is the greatest
impostof of the age
Itis generally accepted that Cook wan
dered about the icy regions without
scientific knowledge to know where he
went, then returning to make the claim,
stating everything on the forlorn possi-
bility that insufficient observation might
substantiate the claim.
A determined effort was made to-day
to find the explorer as the committee
believe the statements as To his where
abouts were false, in an attempt to con.
vince the committee that he would gladly
appear before them if necessary.

TO have these departments taken out,
after the policy had been accepted Al
dermaR Alexander stated that the com.
pany was willing to have the depart.
ments taken out, but as they had made
out the policy at a low rate, because
these departments were covered. they
would not stand for the low rate with
them ont but would make ii same as
thc Old rate. He said that the difference
in favor Of the city would be very
small amount and he made the motion,
which was carried, to pay the original
policy.
a petition TO have the house numbers
drawn on Lawrence avenue was referred
to the city engineer to prepare the num-
bers.
