COOK TENDERED GREAT
 OVATION IN COPENHAGEN

m an interview this afternoon, Dr. Cook claims that he has proofs to toFshow that he has found the north pole. He said that in his opinion the greatest achieyment of his expedition was the discovery of an arctic conti' tent containing about SO,OOO square miles of land which was not covered by ice. This opens new field for polar discovery and research.
 Pressed for data, Dr, Cook refused to give out any details. He said he had contracts for the sale of his story and therefore could say nothing more He is being bitterly criticised in some quarters for this attitude, for placing commercialism above science.
 Cook is still the center of the pub lie eye and crowds block the streets when ever he appears in the automo- bile. in which he is being taken about the city,

BLAISDELL ON STAND IN
IMPERIAL VALLEY TRIAL

When the trial of Frank N. Chaplin,
David H. Chaplin and Paul H. Nc
Pherrin, charged with frauds in con-
nection with the acquiring of title to
government lands, was resumed in the
United States district court this morn
ing, H. w. Blaisdell was called to the
stand. The entire forenoon was con-
sumed, however, in the argument which
followed the interposition Of objections
made as to the admissibility of his tes
timony.
Blaisdell is we'll known in Southern
California and Arizona, through his
connection with a great number of
past years. He was connected with
the California Development company
in the capacity of a civil engineer and
recently pleaded guilty to a similar
charge as that upon which the present
defendants are being tried, being fined
$4,000 upon his plea. While on the stand
q few days ago Blaisdell testified that
he, and not the defendant, McPherrin,
had paid the alleged dummy" claim
ants and this statement was also set
forth in affdavits which were made by
John E. Turner, Andrew j. Macklin
and Frank Pierce, who aver that they
each received $40 and the amount OF
the filing fees, from Blaisdell.
Judge Wellborn commented severely
upon this feature, stating that at the
time of the imposition of the sentence
of fine upon Blaisdell the court had
no idea of his connection with the
pending cases as shown by Blaisdell's
own testimony.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The National Lib

night to the country, which may be re-
garded as q party rally for the cleo

tirely on the constitutional struggle
between the house of lords and the

"If the present action of the peers
Is not repudiated swiftly by the people
rights and privileges won so dearly by
our forefathers in their great strug-
giles for freedom are all surrendered
The manifesto declares the peers
power of veto must be restricted sc
that the last word on legislation and
finance will rest with the house OF
commons. Otherwise no liberal min
istry again can assume the RESPONSE
bilities of office.
I'm the fight forced upon u.s." the
manifesto continues, "the electors will
have to decide whether they wish to
govern themselves or be governed at
second hand by few hundred hered-
itary peers who have thrown the con-
stitution into the melting pot in order
to shift the burden of taxation from
wealthy land and liquor interests into
food and the neeessaries of life.'
