 SAYS GENERAL WOOD
Even Though Found Guilty of Minor
 Attractions

New York. Nov 27.-Soldiers con- victed by courtmartial of minor. of lenses and dismissed from the United States army should not be branded as conviets or barred from re-eniist- ment in all cases, according to Major General Leonard Wood in his first annual report as commander of the east
 The present system of handling military convicts should be changed = says the report. and a procedure inaugurated looking to reform as we'll as punishment under which it will be possible for prisoners by good con duct to obtain a standing which will entitle them to re-enlistment in the army
 General Wood also expresses the opinion that it would benefit the country to turn back into civil life a number of trained soldiers each year.

HACKER BRADLEY RUfFlED.
Because the Doctor Left Without Saying Goodbye Contrary Rumors Re garding the Condition of the Explorers Health.

New York, Nov. 27.-Dr. Frederick A. Cook dropped completely from pub lie view today. Not even John k. Bradley. whose money was behind his polar expeditions. knows where he is tonight Confiding his secret to only one man. and perhaps to his wife, the explorer slipped quietly and mysteri- ously away. leaving behind him a string of puzzlied and exasperated friends and a debate more acrimoni- ous than that which followed his an nouncement in September last that he had discovered the north pole on April q. 1908
 Charles Wake. an insurance man. appears to be the only one who knows the mystery of pr Cooks where abouts. and Wake is firm in his re- solve to keep his lips sealed until Dr. Cook himself sees fit to take the public into his confidence.
 In the meantime. concern is ex- pressed over the condition of Dr. Cooks health. Although some of his friends maintain that he has borne up well under the continued strain of lec- turing and preparing his data, opposed to this an intimate associate of the doctor said tonight that Cook ap- peared to be on the verge of nerv- ous breakdown. when he conferred with him on Monday night The friend, who is a newspaper man, is- sued a statement tonight. quoting Dr. Cook as saying: If this thing keeps up a few months longer. will be in an insane asylum"
 John R. Bradley. who is thoroughly exasperated with the whole situation. said: T am heartily sick of all this mystery. Dr. Cook is under no con- tract to me. He may come and go as he chooses without asking my advice or consent. but I did say today to Wake. when I read in the papers that Dr. Cook had sailed. that l should feel properly sore, and that l should think I had a right to feel sore if the doctor had left for an extended trip without saying good-by to me don't know where he is any more than you do. If he is in this coun- try. it's all right. But why didn't. he say outright when he was going?
 ''I still believe in him. My stand tonight is just what it was the day he landed. He has my allegiance un- til the University of Copenhagen has disproved his claim
 At Gramatan Inn it was said that Dr. Cook departed on Wednesday last Mrs. Cook left this afternoon No one at the hotel would admit that he knew of Dr.. Cooks whereabouts. al- though several telegrams addressed to him were received at the hotel with the remark that they would be

BUNGALOWS BY THE SCORE
Summary of Building Con

With something like S70O.OOO worth of business and public buildings including schools and churches either in process of construction or with sites purchased and plans drawn. the building situation in Phoenix for the coming year may he said to be fairly bright. The es- timate given does not include pri- Vate residences, of which there are now more being erected or just completed than at any time in the history of the city
 In the table printed below it is probable that some business struc- lures may have been omitted. The estimate of s70.0O0 for the Y. M. c. A which win be ready for the roof in a short while. does not in- clude the furnishings. but the esti- mate of sl65.O0O for the Bank of Arizona is supposed to cover every thing, including the vault and office fixtures
 Some of the more important busi- ness buildings now under construc ton or for which plans have been drawn are:

TUBERCULOSIS WAR
n
Nearly Every Legislature Now
In Session Considering
Great Problem.
LEGISLATION is VARIED.

New York, March 3.-The National
Association for the study and proven
ton of tuberculosis, states that of the
80 legislatures now in session all but
nine of them are considering legisla-
ton pertaining to tuberculosis and all
of the states whose legislatures will
not meet this year are planning such
legislation in their next session; eight
of the bills include compulsory regis
tration, most of them being modelled
after the New York State law.
While this law provides for the reg
istration of all living cases of tubercu-
losis, and a register Of these
records kept, it also provides
that those records shall not be public
SO that the greatest of objections to
such legislation have thus been remov-
ed. Further steps are to be taken by
the New York department of health to
insure the enforcement of these meas
ures and it Is confidently expected that
with the cooperation of public Off
Gals and private citizens, the death
rate in this state will be materially di-
mmished in the course of few years.
