State Department Thinks They
Will Not Benefit the
Country.
TOO FAR OFF TO Be GOOD
OTHER DISCOVERIES IN THE ARC
TIC REGIONS HAVE BEEN ADAM
DoNEp BECAUSE THEY WERE
or NO ACCOUNT.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 11-State
department officials are OF the opinion
that 1t is of little consequence to the
United States what lands DR.. Cook
has discovered on his way to the
possession is concerned.
It is recalled by the department
officials that ever since 1928 American
explorers in both the artic and ant
arctic have discovered vast areas OF
land to which no claims ever were
made. Admiral Wflks found in the
antarctic territory OF more than
100000 square miles in area, and DR..
Kane made large discoveries in the
arctic, but no effort ever has been
made by the United States to assert
years ago located lands which never
before we're known to exist.
Many Of the worlds greatest navi-
gators have from time to time made
discoveries to which no claim ever
was made. The principal reason for
this, however, is said to be that these
lands in every instance were almost
inaccessible and absolutely Of no val
ne.
The islands Of Spit7bergen, which
were discovered many years ago, still
are without a recognized owner. On
the maps these islands are designated
az belonging to Russia, but her claim,
II ever asserted, has never been recog-
mixed.
These islands are not only accessible
but have developed some thriving in
dustries, and only within the last few
years has any effort been made to ex-
ercise over them any jurisdiction or
authority.
Recently, however a conference has
been suggested of representatives OF
countries having interests in them to
provide some sort of an administra-
ton for their government. The
United States probably will be repre-
scented by reason of the fact that the
only important coal mines in the ter
ritory are operated by Americans.
AS to the particular territory which
DR.. Cook Is said to have discovered
the statement was made today that 1t
was quite probable that these lands
would be found to be an extension Of
the mainland of Greenland, and, II
SO, they belong to Denmark. At any
rate, 1t Is extremely improbable. it is
said, that the United States would at
tempt to assert sovereignty over them.
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 2-That the
exploration of DR.. Cook in the arctic
regions may lead to the cultivation OF
ivory from the walrus and elderdown
from arctic birds and possibly to the
whale and seal industry was the ex-
pressed belief of DIR. e. s. Huston OF
this city, scientist and author, who has
written several books on the subject
of the north pole and It's surround
ings.
Il have always been of the opinion
that the northern regions OF the world
are by no means useless from COM
mercial standpoint" said DR.. Huston
today. MANY Of us doubtless will
live to see the hyperborean or under
north boreas regions carefully Guilt
waited, as it were, for the ivory wal
rus. the eiderdown of various arctic
birds, and possibly, II deep waters arc
found, for the cultivation of the whale
and fur seal.

HUNDREDS HEAR BOWIE
MICH ENTHUSIASM IS SHOWN AT
 TALLADEGA.
Court Room Filled With Cheering People And Many Are Turned Away-F'Ormer Congress- man Makes Fine Argu-
 ment.

Talladega, Oct. 30-(Special)--At the tapping of the bell that gave the people notice of the time for the anti-amend- ment speech of Hon. Sydney J. Bowie here today, there was a rush for seats by the waiting populace and In the course of a few minutes the seating capacity of the court room was insuf- ficient to accommodate the throng, and there were stili crowding In con- tinuous stream of Talladega's expon- ents of the right of suffrage.
 At this juncture a large number of benches. chairs, and other temporary seats were arranged. These were filled as soon as placed, and the aisles crowded as far back as the door. In fact many were turned away
 As the speaker threaded his way laboriously through the crowd to the stand he was greeted with cheers. The capacity of the court room Is probably 450 to 500.
 Mr. Bowie was introduced by Mayor s. c. Oliver. Mir. Bowie spoke of the Selma audience and said that the crowd there was about like this. He alluded to the flag badge he was wearing, and said. he never flew a doubtful flag or trimmed his sails to meet passing breeze.
 He commented on the provisions of the Ohio constitution and that pro- posed in Alabama, and claimed there was merely a distinction without a difference. Iowa was the same way. South Dakota in seven years has had four elections without settling the question

MIR. COLEMAN AT FLEA
GREAT RALLY or DEFENDERS IN
 COFFEE.
Montgomery Man Ia Given an Enfhu- sIastfc Reception and Delivers an Argument Against the
 Amendment.

Elba, Oct. s0.-(Special )--Peopie from all parts of Coffee County, rep resentative citizens of nearly every beat, voters from New Brocton and En terprise. gathered in the court house this afternoon to hear Hon. Phares the proposed constitutional amend ment.
 It was a rally such as Elba has never seen before, according to state ments made by some of the oldest res idents in this part of the country. Every part of the court house was filled and men stood many deep away out into the halls. There were some women present. a minister or two. sev- eral lawyers and a doctor and for more than two hours the audience listened most attentively to the speaker. In all that time, there were not more than four who left the building, and the tensity of the meeting was broken only by the frequent applause and the sometimes cheers of the assembly.
 MT. Coleman was at all times force full in his uttsrances. He told his au-' dleuce he was going to give them some reasons why they should vote against the amendment, and he did. It was evident that the great nfk3ofity of the people who listened. to him were con-
 
 much so that when he had concluded speaking they crowded around him. holding him for nearly another hour before he could enter a waiting auto mobile for a trip to Troy.
 People who know the voters of cof- fee County well were unanimous In declaring that every beat in the coun- ty will give a majority against the amendment.
 The meeting of today had been called for the morning and for this reason the people arrived early. However. 1t was found impossible to get a speaker in time. but the children's band helped to while away the time while the audience patiently awaited the ar- rival of the noon train. During these morning hours there was an excellent opportunity to discuss the amendment issues with voters from all over the county, and 1t did not take long to as' certain that the ameRders are largely in the miaority In Coffee. E;
 Those who are leading the hghi against the amendment here are jubt- lant over the success of today's rally which was presided over by c. l. Brannen, one of Coffee Ceunty's leading merchants.
