NEGRO HEALTH-SEEkER
FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM

VIM. Henry, a negro % ear
of age who came here about a month
ago from Oklahoma City, seeking cure
OF tuberculosis, was found dead in his
room il wat is known as the old
White House on South Virginia ay-
enue by other negroes living in the
neighborhood early this morning. He
had been living there alone. but other
negroes had lately been caring for
him and when they went to mis- room
This morning he was lying on the
floor, dead. There was evidence that
he had been sick at his stomach dur
ing the night and mad gotten ont of
bed. II is thought that in his feeble
condition he was unable to get back
in bed and possibly that the cold
fastened his death, although it was
aardly cold enough to freeze a per-
son.
The body was removed to the Ullery
morgue and will be held a few days
in an effort to locate relatives. Justice
\. J.. Welter investigated the case
inc finding absolutely no indications
of foul play, decided that an inquest
would be unnecessary.

WAS ONLY WHITE MAN TO VIEW
THE POLE.

DR.. Cook is the only white man TO
view the pole. His party composed en-
tirely Of Eskimos, save for himself. Is
the smallest that ever set out on such
an expedition. That his equipment was
most meager is shown by the fact that
even after he had accomplished that

centuries had failed, almost year

He requested her to cable her address
to him at Copenhagen, for which port
he Is now steaming.
Lost Tidings In May, 1908.
The last tiding from Dr. Cook was
on May Z, 1908. when an Eskimo who
had accompanied him into the ice
bound wilds returned to a point south
with letter from the doctor, stating
he had reached Cape Hubbard, West
ern Elsmere Island. The point is about
500 miles from the Pole.
At the time DIR. Cook was preparing
to push northward. He had provided
himself with dogs and sledges, pur-
chased from the north Greenland. Eski-
mos. He proposed journeying to the
Pole by way of Buchanan Bay, Els
mere Land and through Nansen Strait.
His arrival at Cape Hubbard showed
he was well on his way with the most
difficult part OF his journey before
him.
DR.. Cook led the expedition TO
Mount Mckinley, out of Seattle, In
1906. The expedition was successful,
and the mountain, which up to the
time had baffied the endeavors of man
10 reach it's summit was scaled. After
the perilous ascent the party started
on hunting expedition on the border
OF the Polar regions. when DR.. Cook
expressed a determination to precede
Perry to the North Pole. He announc-

panied the expedition and provided
the funds, II he would give him pro-
visions for 1S months and one trusty

DR.. COOK TELLS OF STRUGGLE
TO REACH THE NORTH POLE.

Paris-The Paris edition Of the New
York Herald publishes a signed state
ment from DR.. Frederick A. Cook,
which is dated "Hans Egede. Lerwick,
Wednesday," on his experiences In the
Arctic regions.
After a prolonged fight with famine
| and frost" says DR.. Cook, I'VE have at
last succeeded in reaching the North
Pole. A new highway with an inter
| esting strip OF animated nature, has
been explored and big game haunts
located. which will delight sportsmen
and expand the Eskimo horizon.
LAND has been discovered on which
rests the earth's northernmost rocks.
A triangle of 10000 square miles has
been cut out OF the terrestrial un-
known.
Outcome Of Summer Cruise.
THE expedition was the outcome OF
summer cruise in the Arctic seas
on the schooner Bradley, which ar
rived at the limits of navigation in
Smith Sound late in August, 1907.
Here conditions were found favorable
for launching a venture to the pole.
]. r. Bradley literally supplied from
his vessel the provisions for local use.
My own equipment for emergencies
served well for every purpose in the
Arctic. Many Eskimos had gathered
on the Greenland shores at Annatok.
for the winter bear hunt Immense
quantities of meat had been collected
and about the camp were plenty of
strong dogs. The combination was
lucky, for there was good material
for equipment.
"All that was required was conven.
iently arranged for at point only
700 miles from .the Boreal center. A
house and workshop was built of
packing boxes by willing hands and
this northernmost tribe of $50 per-
sons set themselves to the problem of
devising suitable outfit. Before the
end OF the long winter night we were
ready for the enterprise and plans had
matured to force new route over
Grinnell Land northward along its
west coast out on to the Polar Sea.
Start Made February 10.
THE campaign opened with a few
scouting parties being sent over the
American shores to explore the way
and seek the game haunts. Their mis-
sion was only partly successful be-
cause of the storms. On the sunrise

Incidentally 1t may be remarked
that the Monroe doctrine is working
pretty well even though quietly. Does
any one doubt that in the earlier
days, before the United States had
proclaimed the doctrine and had
shown she meant 1t, a disturbed con-
dition in South America, like that now
existing. would have proved a strong
temptation to some foreign powers to
step in and get a nice slice OF terri
tory?
