WARNING TO News BANDITS
COOKS NARRATIVE TO BE
PROTECTED BY LAW.

NEW YORK, September 14.-Under the
caption, stop Thief" the New York Her

; in this mornings issue:
There are times and situations in which
parliamentary language being found USE
less it is necessary to call things by their
proper names and to handle delinquents
; without gloves.
THE Herald's original story by DR..
Cook, specially cabled from the Shetland
: Islands, announcing his discovery Of the
pole was unscrupulously appropriated by
certain news associations and individual
. newspapers, despite ample and timely
notice that it was the Herald's property
and fully protected by copyright.
Newspapers in other parts Of the coun-
try included in the Herald's syndicate
were naturally outraged to find that the
mincing words-and telegraphed to their
competitors for publication on the same
morning.
: The Herald is in honor bound to pro-
. tect these and other newspapers that were
. entitled to exclusive publication of the
: story in their respective communities. and
preparations have been made for the
prosecution of the news associations and
individual papers that knowingly and de-
3: family appropriated this property.
mo honest man regulates his conduct
by the penal code. Every one concerned
: was fully informed that DIR. Cooks story
had been written for the Herald and was
!; its exclusive property. The question in
; certain quarters, however, was not wheth-
er the Herald's rights would be violated
: by publication. but whether the penalties
: Of the copyright law could be evaded by
!: lifting the story from the Heraids Eu-
ropean edition. and-owing to the differ

publication on the same morning.
!: LAS the law Is interpreted by high au-
, thorities copyright for the United States

These remarks-and they are In the
. nature of fair warning-are timely in view
Of the fact that the Herald will tonor-
row publish the first of the four chapters
OF DR.. Cooks amplified story Of his dis
covery Of the pole.
He has written this narrative exclu-
sively for this newspaper. and 1t will be
cabled from Europe by the Herald and for
the Herald and those newspapers to
/. which the Herald gives legal right to its
publication, and these rights will be pro-
tected. and. if invaded. will be vindicated

LAST WORD SAID! COOK IS MANI
STARS NEVER MEANT PEARY
TO DISCOVER NORTH POLE.
American Astrologer's Chart Show
That Explorer Was Doomed to
Disappointment.

HoBoKEN, n j.. September 10. 1909.
To the Editor in Chief OF
The Washington Star.
Washington. D. c.:
Dear Mr.. Editor:
AS an American astrologer, I wish to
state, astrologically speaking. that II any
man did discover the north pole. that
man in my opinion was DR.. Cook, ana 10
settle the controversy once and for all
in the Cook-Peary argument, will say
that l set up q chart or figure OF the
heavens at and for the time the Roose-
welt started on her journey for the poie'
and from the CONGREGATIONS or planetary
influences in the heavens at that perioo
l came to the conclusion and predicted
the fact in several newspapers that the
Peary expedition would never discover
the north pole, or that the journey would
come to some grief or experience Sc
we're disappointment and many serious
difficulties. II not come to bad end
The planetary conditions at the birth OF
that the north pole would positively be
discovered around the middle or latter
part of that year If it ever would at all.
and this was due to the fact that the
planet Neptune was posted IN the zooi-
acal sign Of Cancer. and Cancer is wa
terry sign, as we'll as an extreme north
erly sign, and Neptune in Cancer signt-
fies the fact that some peculiar and
most remarkable discovery would be
made in the extreme northern part Of
the world. as Neptune is an occult or
peculiar planet, SO to speak, and quite
mysterious in his influence. and governs
the tides to a great extent, as we'll as
frozen zones.
It will shortly be proven that Dr.. Cook
deserves the credit and proud honor as
being the first man to discover the
north pole, and double honor and pride
in the fact that he il an American at
that.
Trusting that my statement will 80
far to settle once and for all the Cook
VS.. Peary controversy, which / feel sure
it will when all the proofs are shortly
seen in this matter, / remain. sincerely,

gions in the union.made garments. they
are going to give him a banquet.
Preparations to honor DR.. Cook are
more advanced than those for Peary,
because the latters arrival is more dis
tant and his plans as yet more nebu-
'lous. Singing societies Of Brooklyn
have arranged to go down the harbor
in a chartered steamer to welcome their
hero with lyric praise. Bells will ring
and whistles blow from factories. fer
ries and all the water craft OF the bay.
On the other hand. In response to the
equally great interest in Peary. prep
arations are being made at the Ameri-
can Museum Of Natural History to set
apart a special section Of the building
for a display OF Peary's arctic collec-
ton, which have been housed In moth
proof vaults for the summer.

every precaution will be taken to put
the Roosevelt in as seaworthy a con-
dition as possible. Under the best OF
circumstances the steamer is bound to
make a slow run to Sydney, probably
not more than five knots an hour
Commander Peary also is anxious lest
Dr. Cook should reach New York first,
although he adds that the Brooklyn ex-
plorers attempts to induce scientists 10

The Roosevelt will start Thursday or
Friday. She will go from North Sydney
TO New York. and. If possible. take part
in the Hudson-Fulton celebration.

The Roosevelt was decorated with nass

Pearys daughter Marie born in the arc

TO BUILD NEW
COMPRESS IN SELMA

Selma, June Especial. 1.-The in
dications are that bitter war will
be waged here next fall in the COM
pressing of the cotton crop Of Central
Alabama.
This will no doubt mean that the
price of COMPRISING the cotton will
be cut and that there will be scram-
BILE for the cotton by the different COM
press companies.
1t was authoritatively announced this
afternoon that the Gulf Compress Com
pany had purchased the Fisk lot, in
the eastern part of the city and would
soon begin to erect thereon a COM
press. One of that company's COM
presses, now located at Meridian. will
probably be moved here, and the press
will be ready by the time the cotton
is gathered.
For several years the Gulf Compress
Company has rented and operated the
two congresses here. which are owned
by local capital. Their lease expired
some months ago. and since then the
owners and the Gulf Compress Com
pany have not been able to agree to
terms, which results in the announce
ment that the Gulf Compress Company
have not been able to agree to terms
will build a plant OF It's own.

TWO BIG PLANTS
MAY RUN FULL TIME

Decatur. June 4.--(SpeciaI. )-There
is well founded report here that
on July l. the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad shops and the American Oak
Tanning Works, both in New Decatur,
will open up with a full force of men
and will work on full time.
This will mean much to the Decaturs
because 1t will add several thousand
dollars to the monthly pay roll of
the two cities.
For some time the railroad shops
have been working with a reduced
force of men and only working from
three to five days a week. The usual
number of men employed in these
shops is $500. For some months this
number has been cut less than half
The tannery has been practically
closed for more than a year. When
running with a full force this plant
alone employs about 500 men.
