ROME, Sept. 2-The duke of the Abruzzi,
who, since his own Arctic expedition in

exploration, and before he left for the
Himalaya mountains, he expressed the
opinion that DR.. Frederick A.. Cook was
perhaps the man destined to accomplish
this great feat. which may be the greatest
achievement Of the twentieth century"
He based his opinion on what he had
heard of DR.. Cooks former Journeys and
his preparations for this one.
In a letter received recently at Turin
from the duk the royal explorer asked II
anything had been heard from DR.. Cook.
He said he did not believe the American
was dead. and expressed the belief that
he would surpass all his predecessors on

ity to Call Constitutional
Convention

WASHINGTON. Dec. Statehood
legislation at the present session Of
congress will not go beyond giving au-
thority to the people of New Mexico
and Arizona to hold constitutional con
ventions and provide means for such
conventions. il the wishes of leading
members OF congress dictate the policy.
This program is in harmony with the
messages of President Taft.
In the last secession of the siXtieth
congress the house passed a bill to ad-
nit New Mexico and Arizona as sep
arate states 1t was predicted the
measure would go through the senate
quickly. Such was not the case.
Some members of the senate COM
mittee did not like the looks of certain
land grants to individuals which had
not been received under territorial adj
ministratiOn. Some claims for large
holdings under Spanish grants also
were viewed with suspicion.
Furthermore. estimates coming from
the territories as to population. both
as TO numbers and class We're not ac-
cepted. and il was thought best TO de-
lay action until after the 1910 decen-
nial census could be completed.
Taft's recommends tiOn, it is said, will
furnish the excuse for delay.
In the case of the adoption of the
constitution for Oklahoma the election
WdS cOfupllcdteO Wltu the SeieCtlOn OF
state officers. and Taft is determined
this situation shall not Tecur in New
Mexico and Arizona
Should the conventions draft cOnsti-
tutfOns which do not adequately pro-
tect public interests in the matter OF
safeguarding public lands and natural
resources and should those constitu-
tions be adopted BY votes Of the people
of the territories the president could
reject them if he desired and congress
again could open the way for the adop-
tion of satisfactory constitutions. This
course was almost impossible in the
case of Oklahoma. as the people had
expressed their choice of state officers
and justice had TO be done them.
Indications are that a bill will be
passed at this session providing for
the means of holding constitutional
conventions and for elections TO pass
upon the question of adopting or re-
jecting constitutions. 1t is believed
that the effect will be to insure good
state constitutions and make it certain
that the two new stars will be added
to the flag within a year of the ad-
jOurnment of the present congress.
