COPENHAGEN, Dec. 20.-That the
committee investigating the polar da-
ia of DIR. Frederick A. Cook will re-
turn a report neither favoring nor
ayerse to the claims of the explorer,
was the prediction today of a member
of the faculty of the university of CO.
penhagen, who is cognizant of the de-
liberation of the committee.
Savants of the Danish university
who are serving on the committee are
said to be deeply embarrassed by their
former championship of DR.. Cock. This
coupled with their inability to find
ANYTHING approaching acceptable proof
in his reports, has placed them in
difficult position and they are casting
about for a way to retire gracefully
from the controversy.
Rumors have leaked from the COM
mittee room that the data submitted
by the Brooklyn explorer is SO lncom-
plete that Cooks presence before the
committee would not aid its work anu
ha will not be asked to appear.

OIL TRUST
IS MOI YET
DISSOLVED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-This is the
day on which the Standard Oil COM
pany, the so-called greatest trust in
the world is dissolved, wrecked, de-
molished and put out OF business, un-
der the recent decision of Judges San
born, Vandeventer, Hook and Adams
of the United States circuit court
Their decree of dissolution becomes
effective today, and nothing can save
the "oil trust" but an appeal to the
United States supreme court, which,
by the way, has been taken. The. 49,
ing the case, the Standard Oil will con-
tinue to do business at the same old
stand, until the United States supreme
court has handed down it's final decis-
ion. The legal fight against the "octo-
pus," which has continued for three
years, will have to be waged for some
time before the last gun is fired. At
torneys for the company assume an
air of confidence, but it is rumored
that the trust is quietly preparing
to devise ways and means for divid-
ing into independent" companies, In
case the supreme courts decision is

yesterday afternoon experienced the
novel sensation of being held up in
broad daylight, and in the Garden City
of the Northwest, when a team driven
by Dave Wareham became firmly es-
tablished on the track and refused to
move. In an effort to frighten the ami
mails from the track, the engineer drove
the pilot of the huge machine to within
a few feet of the dumb brutes and
gave several angry blasts of the whis-
tie, but the horses, quivering with
fright held the fort, and defied the
iron monster. Efforts to push the WA
gon upon the animals, and thus force
them from between the rails proved
fruitless, and it finally became neces-
sary to detach the wagon and roll i,
to one side, in order that the driver
and members of the train crew might
lift the horses bodily from the right
of-way.
The hold-up occurred at the crossing
just above the new o. r. & N. station.

MAKES
LAST APPEAL

CHICAGO, Dec. 20-John R./Walsh,
convicted banker, has begun his final
desperate fight to the last ditch. To-
day his petition for a writ of review
from the United States supreme court
will be filed in Washington, and his
attorneys will commence their prepa-
rations for their legal battle before the
court of last resort. If that fails, the
aged financier will have to face the ig-
nominy and disgrace Of prison. AL
ready he is constantly under guard,
with the eyes of officers always upon
him. Although Walsh himself MAIN
tains hopeful attitude, his friends
have little confidence in his ability to
escape the penitentiary already yawn-
ing to receive him. But the old man
goes about his business, apparently
almost care-free and If he is torment
ed by grim spectres of striped-clad
criminals. his friends know nothing
of it.
The appeal to the supreme court
marks the last attempt of the former
f1nancier to escape the penalty of five
years imprisonment, imposed on the
verdict finding him guilty of misapply-
ing the funds of the Chicago National
bank while he was it's president.
Since the denial of his petition for

every voter does his duty. The "wets"

settled is the majority and bets have
been freely offered this afternoon at
to 1 that the majority will be 500.
1t is said one of the leading wet

$500 that the majority would not fall

frightened by passing freight, reared
