EVIDENCE SUPPORTS COOK
knud Rasmussen Writes That Eski-
mos Believe His Story

Copenhagen, Denmark, Wednesday,
October 20.-Mrs. Knud Rasmussen,
wife of the Danish Arctic explorer,
has received from her husband re-
port of his impressions of Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, with a special request
for it's publication in the New York
Times. The report, which is dated
at Julianshaab, Greenland, Septem-
Der rs, reads as follows:
"The last post from Denmark tells
me that there has been some surprise
among my countrymen that |, who
was the only white man who saw DR..
Cooks start and who was the only
man with the real knowledge OF the
Eskimo language who had been in
contact with the Cape York Eskimos,
have not sent any statement TO civil
ization about my impressions Of DR..
Cooks North Pole trip. |, therefore,
now hasten to take this opportunity,
which is afforded me by my acciden-
tai meeting with the steamer, TO ex-
pedite the sending of my opinion to
Denmark, an opinion which, in view
of Pearys attacks, may be OF value.
ALetter to Dr.. Cook
Il was on a voyage in Umauak bay
North Greenland, when DR.. Cook
passed Umanak, going south on his
way to Egedesminde where he was
going to wait for the Hans Egede to
take him to Copenhagen. AS |, be-
fore my journey in the Gedthaab to
North Star bay, 20 miles north of the
far Cape York, would have an oppor-
tunity of meeting the Cape York Els
kimos, wrote just before | started
from Hugssnak on July 19 letter to
DR. Cook. the contents of which were
as follows:
My heartiest congratulations On
your happy north pole journey. Your
victory is the greatest in the history
of Arctic exploration 1t will bear its
reward in itself, but great victories
always bring envy to light and you
will. on your return, have to reckon
on a big fight with eyer-ready doubt
ers. / therefore mean to be Of great
help to you if |, when during the sum-
mer, | am visiting the polar Eskimos
at Cape York get a thorough inter
view with your companions. If ! hap
pen to meet them In order to help
me in getting the interview as COM
plete as possible ! ask you to give
me a short resume of your journey
before you leave Greenland, and | ask
YOU to send this to Umanaak by the
Hans rgede on the 3D.
However, during my stay between
Cape York and Kimo | did not meet
DR.. Cooks two companions, who at
the time were about 100 miles north
Of North Star bay, and the informa-
ton | could get from other polar Es-
KINDS was therefore only second

Women Delegates Joined in the Melee

Springfield, Ill, Sept. 15.-Women
delegates struck men delegates over
their heads and shoulders with UNI
brellas while the masculine delegates
fought among themselves at the open
ing session of the National convention
Of the Yeomen of America yesterday.
The trouble started at the outset of
the meeting. 1t is charged that an
attempt was made to seat delegates
who said they represent lodges in IL
linois and other states to which char
ters have not yet been issued. The
excitement was intense for a time, but
order was restored BEFORE anyone was
seriously hurt.

The display of machinery by the n

at the fair.
The attendance was poor at the fair

New Union Pacific Freight De-
pot In Near Futures
Crowded Condition of Present
Structure Starts RumOrs.
GOODS DAMAG e ID
By Rain-Left Outside for Lack
of Room.
Congestion of Freight Trains
Need Cutoff.

The fact that the Union Pacific
freight depot has been often congest-
ed with merchandise lately gives
ground for a story which is being told
in railroad circles. that new freight
depot is to be erected west of the pres
ent structure in the near future. While
this can not be officially confirmed it
is well known that a larger storage
place has been needed for some time.
This was forcibly brought to attention
Monday night when the rain dam
aged considerable quantity of goods
which had been stored on the plat
form for lack of room in the building.
The men at the depot did their best
to protect the goods and get them I'M
der cover, but it is thought that
large number of claims will be filed
against the company because of the
damage resulting.
The freight traffic is also said to
be much congested and shows need
for the Calhoun Bluff cutoff. 1t is
possible that this traffic will be SO
much increased when the Onaga ex-
tension is finished that it will be ne
cessary to put on a night switch
engine and crew.
