STATE DEPARTMENT REFUSES
TO ENTER INTO THE COOK
REARY CONTROVERSY.
The National Geographical Society
VIII Name Committee to Go to
Copenhagen to Examine DR..
Cooks Records.
~iAss~'swsX

hington.-Refusing to be drawn
into the Cook-Peary north pole con
troversys the state department on
Thursday declined a request that it
cable American Minister Egan at
Copenhagen to request of the univer-
sity of Copenhagen permission to ex-
anime the records Of DR.. Frederick A.
Cook when they were submitted to
that institution.
The request was made by delega-
tion from the National Geographic So
ciety. which will appoint committee
to visit the foremost Danish scientific
institution to whiSh DR. Cook is to sub
NIT his records. The desire to have
the request go through the Official
channels was made at a conference
held In this city between prominent
members of the society.
The request was made on the
ground that the examination would be
by scientists Of attainments particular
ly valuable in the adjustment OF the
polar problem.
The department took the request
under adytsement and later decided 1t
would not accede to 1t. 1t was felt
such action would constitute official
recognition of Commander Peary
against DR., Cook, that any unusual ac-
ton on its part might be interpreted
as an Endorsement of the claim of one
or the other of the. two explorers as
to priority of discovery. The depart
ment has notified Secretary Grosven-
or of its attitude.

one of the most complete and
thorough alarms that is furnished
by the Electrical Protection COM
pany.
There is a system of alarms con-
tanning six gongs, one of which is
on the outside of the building,
five are on the inside, two of which
are located in the vault, the other
three being at convenient points
around the interior of the build
ing. There are really two vaults
in the Lumbermens Bank, one
being located in close proximity to
the banking room, and in which is
stored the money safe and valu-
able papers. The other vault
adjoins the first vault and con-
tains the safety deposit boxes.
Both of these vaults are lined with
steel.
By means of the new electric
burglar alarm every inch of the
steel lining of these vaults is d.
rectly connected with the alarm.
Any person touching either the
handle or the dial or any part of the
vaults or approaching the steel lin
ing from either inside or outside of
the bank, when the vaults are
closed, will Immediately touch off"
the six alarm gongs. These gongs
will beat a very lively tattoo for
twenty-three consecutive hours un.
less they are stopped. This alarm
is very thorough one and the in
Sailing of the system places the
Lumbermens National Bank among
the foremost banking institutions of
this part of the state.
The bank is also protected against
burglary, either the night or day
light hold-ups. AS the bank is also
protected in every manner known to
bankers, depositors get the very best
for their money at the Lumbermens.
The bank officials have ordered
eighteen feet of steel shelves for
use in the vaults. These shelves
are most up-to-date pattern.
The installing of these appliances
completes a very modern banking
establishment.
Two years ago the old furniture
and fixtures of the bank were re-
moved and new mission furniture
and fixtures were installed. In addi-
ton to this there are all of the
accessories for expeditions and efici-
ent banking.
