DR.. Cooks Story OF
Discovery Of North Pole
(By Associated Press.)

by ASsOCluttu EItSs.D
PARIS, Sept. 2.-+'After pro-
longed fight with famine and frost,
we at last succeeded in reaching the |
North Pole"
Thus declares DR.. Frederick A.
Cook in q signed statement this
morning in the Paris edition of the
New York Herald.
The statement. which is dated
Sans Egede, Lermick, Wednesday,"
continues.
A new highway, with an inter-
esting strip of animated nature, has
been explored and big game haurts
located. which will delight sports
men and extend the Eskimo horizon.
Land has been discovered on
which rests the earth's northern
most rocks. A triangle Of 10000
square miles has been cut out OF the
terrestrial unknown.
The expedition was the outcome
of summer cruise In the Arctic
seas on the schooner Bradley, which
arrived at the limits of navigation
In Smith Sound late in August, 1907.
Found Plenty Of Assistance.
/ Here conditions were found fav-
orabie for launching venture to
the Pole. J. II. Bradley literally
supplied from his vessel suitable
provisions for local use. My own
equipment for emergencies served
well for every purpose In the Arctic.
Many Eskimos had been gath
cred on the Greenland shores at
Annatosk for the winter bear hunt.
Immense quantities OF meat had
been collected and in camp were
plenty of strong dogs. The combi-
nation was lucky, for there was good
material for equipment.
All that was required was con-
venicntly arranged for at point
700 miles from the Boreal center. A
house and workshop were built Of
packing boxes by willing hands, and
this northernmost tribe of $50 peo-
pie set themselves to the problem
of devising a suitable outfit.
Forced New Route.
Before the end OF the long win
ter night we were ready for the en-
terprise and plans had matured to
force a new route over Grinnell land
northward along It's west coast out
on to the. polar sea. y Ff E54tt.
The campaign opened with a Few
scouting parties being sent over the
American shores to explore. the way
and seek the. game haunts. Their
mission was onuly partly successful
because OF the storms.
At sunrise OF 1908 February 19)
the main expedition embarked. on its
voyage to the pole. 1t consisted OF
eleven men and 10 dogs. drawing
eleven heavily laden sledges.
The expedition left the Green
land shore and pushed westward
over the troubled Ice OF Smith
Sound. The gloom OF the Ions
night was relieved only by few
hours of daylight.

issue his candidacy for the office of
state senator from the Twenty-seventh
senatorial district, composed of the
counties of Faulkner and White. Mr..

good officer. Mr.. Donnell has
achieved great prominence in fraternal
circles and has been elected to the
highest offices in the gift of the Odd
Fellows of Arkansas, master of the
grand lodge and sovereign representa-
tive. He is known as man of unim-
peachable integrity, and in him the
people of the district would have a
safe. conservative and honorable rep
resentative in the upper branch OF the
state legislature Mr.. Donnell has been
solicited for several months by many
of his friends to offer for this position,
and they will doubtless learn with
pleasure that he has decided to make
the race and will accord to him their
loyal support. He promises if elected
to devote his entire time during the
session in giving TO The state and dis
trict his best efforts and will take es-
pecial pride in looking closely that the
interests of the states institution To-
Gated at Conway are not neglected by
the Legislature.

MINE FIRE BURNS Is YEARS
COAL BLAZING FOR MILES UNI.
DER OHIO HILLS.
Surface of Hooking Valley Being
Changed by Cave In-Birds and
Animals Killed by Fumes.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. April 3.-In the
southern part of Perry county, Ohio. near
New Straitsville. a mine is burning and
the fire has been in progress without in
corruption since 1854. 1t was charged BIZ
the owners at the time that the fire was
started by striking miners. but whether
THIS is true or not the fire broke out
while the great miners strike of that
year was in progress. 1t is no unimpor-
tant mining property that is thus being
slowly destroyed, for il is the we'll known
Hooking vein of bituminous coal which is
being worked everywhere through the
Hooking valley on a large scale and with
great profit to the mine owners. That no
effort is made either by the owners OF
the property or the state to put it out
seems inconsistent with the public move
ment now being made TO preserve the ma
tional resources
The fire has eaten its way for miles
under the Hooking hills. and the earth
falling in where the coal has been con-
sumed has reduced the surface of the
country to that of bad lands The
heat from the burning coal below 80
warns the surface that snow meits soon
after a snowfall. and the area burned our
can be approximately estimated by noting
the area upon which no snow lies The
heat is not sufficient, however, to start
Verdure on the surface in winter time
The subterranean fire sends up from
some of the assures vast volumes OF
black smoke, while from others noxious
gases produced in slow combustion pour
forth unnoticed- These entrap birds and
small animals. and frequently many car
cases of such animals are found at such
places, especially i'm the winter season.
Attracted by the warmth and shelter OF
the assures. the birds and animals fire.
quent such places. and are quickly over
come by the asphyxiating gases. One
farmer last winter lost several cows in
this way.
State Mine Inspector George Harrison
said this week that a great property loss
was being worked. but so extensive was
the fire now and SO large a sum of money
would be necessary to put it out that only
the state or nation could take the project
up with the hope Of success.

CLOCKS RUN BY WIRELESS.
Work spontaneously Within Radius
of 100 Miles.
Special Correspondence OF The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. March ~, 1909.
The Elektrotechnische' Zetschrift OF
Berlin devotes an article to an ingenious
invention by Prof. Reithofer and the
Viennese clockmaker Morawetz, where
by clocks within radius Of 100 or ia
miles may be worked spontaneously by
means of wireless electric impulses from
a central station.
The station is equipped much as a
wireless telegraphy transmission station.
The apparatus consists of q pendulum
swinging sixty times a minute and a
cogwheel which revolves one cog with
each swing. When sixty cogs have
passed the pendulum and one minute has
elapsed the wireless impulses are set in
motion by the transmission instruments.
All clocks to be synchrOnized are fitted
with a receiving apparatus and consist
only Of a dia'. hands and a cogwheel at
tachment. with electromagnetic. which.
worked by the impulses from the trans
mission station, move around the hands
of all clocks fitted with the apparatus
in exact synchrony. An ingenious de-
vice prevents foreign electrical impulses
interfering with the working.

The Duke Of the Abruzzi is not going to

IN accordance with his custom in previ-

as follows:
The report of the Associated Charities
shows receipts during the year ending
September 30. 1903. of over $1,000. less
tnan 500 OF which Is shown 10 have
reached the poor. Indeed. il does not
clearly appear that over 500 reached the
needy. the report of the Citizens Relief
Association for the same year shows re-
eeipts amounting TO over $4,000. and ex-
penditures which would appear 10 be
strictly charitable payments of over
5000. Taking the two associations the
receipts were about $4,000, and only
about one-third of that sum appears To
have reached those for whose benefit the
contributions were made. 1t would seem
