ANOTHER POINT
IN THAW'S CASE

tuition, the commitment of Thaw to Matteawan on the ground of
insanity at the time of committal was clearly unconstitutional.
Thaw, he contends, was acquitted by the jury because he was in
sane when he murdered Stanford White; but there was 10 legal
proof that he was insane after he was acquitted. Truly the re-
sources of the criminal lawyer are infinite when the resources of
the client are likewise infinite, as in this ease. So ii need not be
expected that a court decision adverse to Mr.. Blacks, theory of the
constitutional law will end the matter. There will be other pegs
to hang a doubt upon.

COPENHAGEN AGAINST COOK
Preliminary Report Says His Claim
Is Not Established.

Copenhagen-The Associated Press j.
informed by a high authority that the
committee of the University of Copen
hagen, in its preliminary examination OF
his records, failed to discover proof that
Frederick A. Cook reached the north
pole.
A preliminary report was made by the
examining committee at a secret ses-
sion of the consistory of the university
today. The consistory listened to the re-
port, which provoked an animated dis
cussion. 1t appears that the data so far
submitted is not held sufficient to es-
tablish the explorers claims.
The result of the discussion was a re-
quest on the part of the consistory that
the committee continue it's work. The
university body will leave to the inves-
tigators proper the matter of making
public later the results of their inqui-
ries.
1t is learned that several members of
the university consistory are exceedingly
angry over the rector's preliminary re-
port, one of them expressing regret that
the university had not waited until DR..
Cooks claim that he reached the pole
had been proved before honoring him.
