Burkett Thinks
Central Bank is
Not on Program
Bankers of Nebraska Do Not Want
it and He 0ppOses-To Push
Postal Banks.

WASHINGTON, Nov H-Cspecial Tele-
gramO-Senator Burkett, looking like a
thoroughbred, arrived in Washington to-
day for the forthcoming session Of con-
gress. Mr.. Burkett refused to talk politics,
except to say that the republican party in
Nebraska was never better organized than
Il is today. nor in better condition to make
a fight. He will re-introduce his postal
savings bank bill, which attracted most IA
vorable attention during the last session
Of congress throughout the country. and
will hammer away at II until he gets il
through.
one thing Senator Burkett said that may
give an index TO his vote on financial ques-
tions, was that he did not believe Senator
Aldrich would get his central bank idea
through congress. The bankers in Ne
braska don't want II and a great many
business men are opposed to the proposi-
tion. The senator said that everything
looked good at home. Farmers are pros
porous. crops are good and the future looks
very bright" he said.
Former Representative Lacey of Iowa q
strong anti-Cummins man of that state
called upon President Taft today and dis.
cussed with him the western political situa.
tion especially with reference to activitie,
Of so-called insurgents and the attitude q
Speaker Cannon toward them.
"All efforts to dissatsfy farmers and
others who are prosperlng in the west
made by insurgents, will fail" he said.
"The people out in my section are thor,
oughly in accord with Speaker Cannon and
they are living in an era Of prosperity an

that He Sailed for

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Whether DR.. Cook

matter of dispute between his personal
friends and his personal counsel, II. w,
Wack Mr.. Wack gave out a statement
today, by pre-arrangement with DIR. Cook,
in which he declared his client had already
sailed and gave at length the reasons for
his journey. Later in the day he received
a telephone message from John r. Rrad-
ley, DR.. Cooks banker, informing him that
there was a strong probability that DR.

and, to the best of my knowledge embodied
his plan. have had no notification of any
change except such as has late today come
to me indirectly through Mr.. Bradley.
As the steamer Havana left her pier this
afternoon, a man was seen on board who
bore a strong resemblance to DIR. Cook. He
refused to give his name.
Evidence of an attempt to steal his
original records has cautioned DR.. Cook
to employ reasonable safeguards In trans
mitting them.
Ii is denied that DR.. Cook is in any dan
ger Of collapse. He wishes, say his friends
to be within call of the Danish commits
sion that will examine his records, al
though, in the phraseology OF his state
ment, it is admitted that his naturally
robust health has suffered by the grea
change from a diet of ice and pemmlcan'
to the food of civilization.
While awaiting the verdict of the com
mission. according to the statement, DIR
Cook will rest in Italy in some spot Sc
cure from intrusion, where he can worl
at the narrative Of his Arctic journey.
