COOK SAILS FOR
EUROPE TODAY
EXPLORER WILL &C TO ITALY
TO REST WHILE COMMITS
SION SETTLES HIS FATE.

New York, Nov. 27.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook sailed for Europe today on
board the steamship Caronir
Although DR. Cooks name did not
appear on the passenger list the state
ment issued from the Offices Of his
lawyers, shortly after the Caropia
cleared confirmed the anticipat ~
rumors Of the doctors departure, and
established the fact that his observa-
lions and papers are now well on the
way to Denmark.
Evidence of an attempt to steal his
original records, he says has caused
him to employ reasonable safeguard
in transmitting them. 1t is denied
that Cook is in any danger of coll
lapse. He wishes, say his friends, to
be within call OF the Danish commits
sion that will examine his records.
although in the phraseology of his
statement it is admitted that his nat
urally robust health has suffered by
the great change from a diet of ice
and pemnican" to the food of civiliza-
ton.
While awaiting the verdict of the
commission, Cook will rest in Italy, in
some spot secure from intrusion, where
he can work at his narrative of his
arctic journey. This book is not to be
published until his claim to the dis
covery of the north pole has been con-
frmed nor will he resume his lectures
before the University of Copenhagen
until that day.
He remains confident, he says, that
"the most competent scientific body in
Europe" will find that he reached the
pole April 81, 1908.

PosTMAsTERs FROM THE
II ~ DEPARTMENT..

Washington, Nov. 27.-There is a
limit even to the governments supply
Of mail bags, according to Second AS
sistant Postmaster General Stewart, in
issuing formal notice to postmasters.
In future they must supply the needs
OF those publishing houses and news
papers to the end that complaint in
regard thereto may not be lodged with
the department The matter is brought
to the attention Of postmasters because
OF the fact that certain of them are
loaning United States mail sacks in
large quantities to other than publish
ers and news agents, thereby losing
sight of the limitations of the depart
ment's regulations.

Washington, Nov. 27-President
Gompers and Secretary Morrison saw
the president for the first time today
since they were sentenced for con-
tempt. Their call had ..othing to do
with the criminal proceedings, how

the British house of parliament, yho
We're fraternal delegates to the recent
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor at Toronto.

Gompers had intended taking up
with the president the mater OF ex-
empting labor unions from classified

view with the president was inter-
rupted by a cab from Secretary Knox.
It was then arranged that the labor
leaders should be received by the
president Monday morning for that
purpose.

Digs Up Christmas Cache in Lads Room and Sinks
 Into Oblivion

There may be mean men in this world, men who will treat their sons to new hair cut, or wash the windows that their progeny may look out and see the street cars % by, or even go so far as to make tbeIr spouses comb thelr hair with fork in order to save their new tortoise shell combs, but Globe has, or has had very recently, the meanest man on record.
 Any man who would steal the tips hoarded mp by a bell hop puts all the other meanest men, real or traditional. in the gloom so far that they wouldn t even cast shadow in the full glare of the bust of glory of a Podunk county fair.
 And that is just what has happened m this city. Some time Sunday. Alma Tate, the youngster who Jugs ice water and sult cases at the Dominion and who IS known among travelling men as the most gentlemanly bell hop in the south west, was touched for his entire col lection of Christmas tips, amounting to $l7.60
 Business was good with young Tate on Christmas day and as the result. he ND''''hNh tiP' lb Ailt tAlthl Dl HBdGlN SIS. He did not buy foolish water or buzz wagons, play the slot machines or otherwise spend his money riotous- ly, and when he retired to his room in the Manzanita Saturday night, he carried $l760 with him.
 He carefully slowed his money away and when he. came on shift the follow. ing morning, he left the money in his room. He thought nothing about it. but when he went back for change. later in the day, there was no $17.6O to be seen anywhere in the immediate vicinity of the place wherein it had been cached.
 Tate searched long and ardentIy. but without avail. During his absence. some one toe mean to bear description had sneaked in and made away with the luere.
 And while the cheerful bell hop hops bells, he counts the days between now and next Christmas and wonders if he will encounter such terrifcally hard luck next time.

 As Boyle and Winderborn have been under the watchful eyes of the Miami officers for some time, they were sus- pected of the robbery when it was first discovered. A further investigation led to their arrest and incarceration.

Six Hundred Children of All Kinds Made Happy Satur-
 day Evening

As the result of the generosity of the people of this city and the untiring en ergy of fhe Salvation Army, which ear ried out the work, over 600 children were made happy at the Christmas ex ercises at Dreamland Saturday even, ing.
 More than 600 children received presents from the big Christmas trees which had been prepared, decorated and loaded down with good things by the members of the Salvation Army.
 An extensive program of songs and recitation took up the early part of the evening When'this program was over, gifts were distributed to all of the child. ren who were present.
 After practically all of the children had been supplied and it was seen that there were presents enough for all, a number of Indians who were in attend anee were given candy and toys. This was the first time many of the Indians had experienced any thing of this nature and to say that they were pleas. ed would not express the conditions as they really were.
 A big crowd of spectators attended the exercises and looked on with en- ioyment as the presents were distribut- ed.
 But not all of the happiness dispensed by the Salvation Army was spread among the children. The money raised by the Merry Christmas fund. over $500, also went to buy good things for the poor families of Globe, thirty-seven boxes of good things having been dis tributed on and immeJ ately before Christmas day.
 II is hardly likely that more thor oughly happy Christmas was ever spent before by many of the people who were the recipients of gifts from the Salva. ton Army.
 The members of this band put their soul into the work and they are deserv ing of the highest praise from the peo- pie of this city.
 The members of this band wish to thank the people of Globe for the liber- ality with which they contributed >to. ward the good cause. as the following letter from Captain James Allen win show:
 'On behalf of those who received assistance through the liberality of the people of this city and on behalf of the Salvation Army, which was thus en. abled 10 carry out this good work. | wish to extend my sincere thanks for the generosity with which the people of Globe responded to this cause.
 "l wish to thank the Silver Belt for the publicity given this cause and to thank individually not only those who gave of their money. but those who assisted in other ways.
 Jesus said, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it unto me- God bless you all
 ''Oyer 6VJ presents were given to as many children at Dreamland and thir ty'seven homes were made happy with supply of good things. Out of the money collected, we have on hand a bal. ance of S33, which will be used for purposes as it is needed.
 During the eighteen years that have been connected with the Salvation Army, l have never met people more liberal or generous hearted than those 1f Globe.
