WHY STUBBORN?
Little Disposition at Uni
versity Of Copenhagen
To Have Americans at Exam
ination Of Cooks Papers.
Cook Denies That Danes Have Sent
North to Prove His Story.

Copenhagen, Nov 5.-The feeling
among the professors of the University
of Copenhagen who are directly con-
cerncG in the prospective examination
of TIE North Pole records of DR.. Cook
today, is distinctly against agreeing
to the proposal of the National Geo
graphic Society that committee of
Americans be present at the examina-
ton.
Rector Torp had conference on the
subject today with Prof Stromgren,
the astronomer and DR.. G. f. Pechule
of the meteorological office, both of
whom have been designated to investi-
gate Cooks records.
Professor StrOmgren warmly resent
ed the suggestion and declares that he
was absolutely opposed to others than
representatives of the university hav-
ing anything to do with the first eX-
animation.
Rector Torp, however, decided to
submit the proposal of the National
Geographic Society to the consistory
OF the university and that body has
been summoned to meet tomorrow and
settle the matter.
It is anticipated that the ma jority of
the consistory Will prove no more ia
vorable to the present proposition than
it die to the earlier suggestion that
the university waive its claim to the
prior examination in favor of the Unit
ca States.

concerning Former President Roose-

Mr. Roosevelt had been killed in Afri-
ca and because of the dangers of At
rican hunting. fresh in the public mind,
owing to Mr. Roosevelts magazine ar
ticles there was some uncasiness until
Douglas Robinson, Mr. Roosevelt :
brother-in-law, said cmphatically that
he took no stock in such reports.
Mr.. Robinson branded the first vague
reports of the day false and when in
formed tonight that later rumors from
the shadow lard of ncWsparerdom had
it that (Mr. Robinson) had been adj
vised by cable of Mr.. Roosevelt s
death. he authorized another vigorous
denial.

vey steamer Bach, sent crowd Of
several hundred people in the neigh
borhood OF the kittery ferry slip into
a panic and then tcrrOriZed the inmates

before the police finally got him iii Gus
tody. SeOgren had shore leave from the
Bach last night and is believed to have
been under the influence of liquor
when he ran amuck today. Near the
ferry slip of the Atlantic Shore Line
Railway he brandished his revolver
and fired several shots, one of them
passing very near q woman who was
walking up the slip.
Threatening to "shoot up the entire
city Seogren jumped into the door of a
barber shop and loveled his weapon
at the BARRIERS and the men in the
chairs. There was a hurried flight of
BARRIERS and customers to the rear of
the shop. Seogren contented himself
with putting couple OF bullets
through the window of the establish
ment and then he ran into saloon,
where he held up the man behind the
bar Impelled by the sight of the re-
volver and word of command from
.he sailor the saloon keeper executed
a few dancing steps, while Seogren

No, one was injured.

All four of the injured men were
very brave and urged the engineer

keep the battleship on her work. I'm

at 4 o'clock the North Dakota steamed
into this harbcr and Immediately sent
the injured men ashore.
The defective tube was replaced la
Ter in the day and arrangements were
made to leave at midnight for the 81

The battleship is expected back at

tract today. but her builders. the Fore

see what she could have done had the
4-hour test been completed with her
