by Chicago professors. Professor Chit
tenden of Yale said that the Chicago
criticisms were unfair and uncalled for,
but Professor Brewer went much fur

What do they know about it?" he
asked. Doctor Atwood out in Chicago
says he knows Doctor Cook as well as

ASSESSOR DODGE
PRESENTS FIGURES
Convincing Evidence That San
Francisco Has Not Shirked
Her Share of Taxes
Strong Showing Made Before
the State Board of Equali-
zation on Assessment
Continued from Page 8

the fire labor and material were 20
per cent higher than at present. These
figures must carry conviction. You
can not escape them. San Francisco
has not shfrked The total assess
ment OF that city today is within per
cent of what it was before the fire"
The San Francisco delegation called
attention te the fact that many changes
had taken place in the property bound
ed by Third. Ninth. Howard and Town
send streets. and asked the board TO
bear this in mind in considering the
case of San Francisco.
Kern County Lands
Kern county, with total assessment
of $31 1,7T3,963. followed San Francisco
before the state board 1t was .repre-
sented by Assessor J. M. Jameson, su-
pervisor I'll. A. Jastro and Appraisers
Benjamin l.. Brundage, II. I. Tupman
and S. ]. Planz.
Figures at hand indicated that Kern
is assessed on 81 per cent basis. The
board was apparently surprised to find
alfalfa land assessed at only $40 an
acre. The appraisers held. however,
that this was a fair figure. 1t was
stated that the concentration of vast
acreages in the hands of few owners
tended TO keep out settlers and to hold
values down.
Tie investigation included an in
quiry into values in Bakersfield and in
the oil fields. Bearing tracts are as
sessed as high as 500 an acre, each
wel1 $1,000 and improvements are
added
The board did not appear to be sat
isfied with the figures at which the,
agricultural land is carried. and it Is
probable that Kern county will be
raised.
Sacramento County
Sacramento county made a particu-
larly fine showing before the board to-
night. The figures of Assessor E. J.
Kay showed that he was between 81
and 62 per cent of the valuations of the
appraisers.
Sacramento county lost $1,000 900 in
assessments through flood damage last
February. when 10000 acres were sub
merged. This was offset 6y a gain of
a like amount in the city of Sacra-
mento.
The increase in outside lands brought
the roll up to s65,703,010. As against
5.1S0,745 last year. The national
banks here are paying taxes on shares
amounting to a total of 100000. This
is comparatively heavier than almost
any other section of the state.
The Pullman car company will ap-
pear before the board for a further
hearing tomorrow.

sors are suffering from ignorance and
from egotism which is born of ignor-
ance.
They don't know what they are
talking about when they say that ice

progress There are no icebergs there.
In summer the ice expands and there
are hills. but no bergs. In winter. Doc
tor Cook told me, the snow would be
packed and smooth. and it was then he
would make the dash.
Doctor Cook has always had detrao-
tors. Bobby Bunt was one of the frst

book showing how it was possible for
him to climb the mountain in the length

Recalls His Enthusiasm

OAKLAND, Sept. 3.-Charles ..
woodbury. of 1216 Brush street met
Doctor Cook several years ago at
Brooklyn, n. Y, where Woodbury. was
visiting a mutual friend, Herbert L.
Bridgeman. At that time, 1901, Wood
bury said that he was profoundly I'M
pressed by Cooks enthusiasm.
tfHe had made three antarctic trips,
said woodbury., ,"and was full of ardor
over the possibility Of discovering the
north pole.
Doctor Cook at that time declared
that he intended to make the dash for
the north pole unaccompanied by other
white men and he believed that he
would win alone some day"
Austria Reserves Opinion
VIENNA, Sept 3.-Scientific circles in
Austria received the news of Doctor
Cooks discovery with much reserve.
Professor Oberhummer, president OF the
Imperial geographical society, thinks
the links in the chain of his story thus
far received are incomplete. The ques-
tion where Cook passed the winter of
1908-9 according to Professor Ober-
hummer, especially required precise ex-
PLANTATION. Other scientists express
skepticism over that portion of the
story about districts so near the pole
being rich in wild animals.

WITH DEATH

Almost Famished.

July 14-Although both President

party, are laughing at their expert
ence of the past few days, :. is
known that for time tao party
was in peril on its way across the
desert to the estate of Commander
Frederick Attenborough.
While hunting in the direction
of the Attendborough estate. 10
which he had been invited, Col.
Roosevelt, with all his porters and
gunbearcrs, reached Camp Plains
last Saturday night, completely worn
out. The water supply OF the party
was completely exhausted, and the
food was running low. in the ter
rible heat, men and beasts needed
water badly.
Judge their dismay when they
reached Camp Plains to find that
the pool from which they expected to
secure water for themselves and the
animals was completely dried up.
After pitching camp Saturday

Arrested On Complaint of
Madame Helene, a Palm
ist and Ciairvoyant on
Yesterday.
TRIAL ADJOURNED
UNTIL TOMORROW.
Prisoner Asserts His limo
cence and Claims il a
. Badger Game.

on complaint OF Madame Helene,
a fortune teller located at Is Blue
field avenue, j. II. Edmiston was yes
terday arrested on charge OF hav-
ing attempted criminal assault on
the IL year old daughter of the palm
list
Edmiston, who was given a pre-.
liminary hearing before the police
Judge this morning, is still in the
city Jail and will be given trial
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. He
VAS seen this morning by a reporter
for The Daily Leader and stoutly de
MES any guilt Whatever, claiming
that Badger game" was put up
on him by the woman who, he says
was in hard luck. He stated that
Madame Helene offered to compro-
mise and not have him arrested If he
would come across with ten dollars,
which he refused to do. This he
expects to be able to prove at the
hearing which will be given him to-
morrow.
E1miston occupied rooms adsoin-
Ing those OF Madame Helene and it
was here that the claimed criminal
assault occurred. The girls mother
and the accused were on very famil-
lar terms as he was seen in her
apartments often. He admits that
he had been helping Madame Helene
along financially, paying her adver-
tising and printing bills, etc. and
had advanced her about $50 in this
way.
The accused man has been a ia
miliar figure on Princeton avenue
for about ten days, where he has
been engaged in writing fancy cards
in an excellent hand, and almost al
ways had a crowd around him. He
says that he has followed this for a
livelihood in almost every city ia the
United States.
There is an opinion expressed by
many that the man is actually the
victim of a game, borne out by the
fact that he had expressed an inten-
ton of leaving Bluefeld this morn
ing, and if ne had been advancing
the woman money it is possible that
she sought some means of making a
final coupe on his finance.
There is also another charge
against Edmiston, that of having
failed to secure the necessary license
for carrying on his card-writing ON
the streets.
