DR.. COOK GOING TO
EUROPE TO REST
HIS NERVES
Strain of Controversy Has Bro
ken His Health.
HIS POLAR RECORDS SHIPPED
Data Sent to Copenhagen by Stealth
to Illustrate Alleged Robbery
Plot

New York, Nov. 81 DIR. Frederick
A. Cook, the explorer, according to a
report last night, was to sail this
morning under an assumed name for
a soiourn in Southern Europe to re-
cover his health after the strain OF
his lecture tour and the preparation
of his records for the University OF
Copenhagen. This report followed
declaration by II. Wellington Wack,
counsel to the explorer, that dia-
bolical conspiracy discovered by Dr.
Cook and his friends to steal the data
of the explorers polar trip had been
frustrated by shipping them to Cop
enhagen on another steamer than
that previously announced.
His friends explain the present trip
by saying that DR.. Cook is in highly
nervous condition.
Mrs. Cook will accompany the doc
tor, their two children remaining
here, attending a private school. Mrs.
Cook, it is said, has been eager to get
her husband out of the city and away
from all care.
Almost any minute II. Wellington
Wack, lawyer, of 40 Broadway, ex-
poets so he said yesterday, to get a
wireless message from Walter Louns-
dale, DR.. Cooks secretary, who Is
aboard the United States of the Scan
dinovian-American Line, on his way
to Copenhagen, saying that an at
tempt has been made to drug Louns-
dale in a plot to rob him of Or. Cook
observations on his trip toward the
north pole.
It tickled Mr. Waek, he declared
yesterday, to know that the plot would
fail, for line records are not in Louns-
dale's possession at all The public
was permitted TO think they were, be-
cause Mr. Wack, as DR. Cooks coun-
sci, wanted to throw the conspirators
off the track.
AS a matter of fact, so Mr. Wack
explained, the records were sent off
quietly and under special guard, sew
eral days before Lounsdale sailed.
They will be secretly conveyed to the
scientists at Copenhagen as soon as
the steamer lands there. To prevent
any possible upset in this plan, Mr..
Wack yesterday positively refused to
reveal the name of tine steamer which
is carrying them.

RUTLAND BANKS MAY MERGE
Rutland County National and Baxter
National Banks.

Rutland, Nov 27.-Unless some
thing unforeseen occurs, the Rutland
County National bank and the Baxter
National bank will be consolidated in
the near future. Plans for the pro.
posed consolidation are already under
way and the details agreed upon, but
it is necessary to advertise the pro-
posed merger and submit it to a vote
of the stockholders of both banks
1t is probable, however, that the
plans will be approved as it is consid-
cred that the proposition would prove
advantageous to both banks 1t has
been the feeling here for some time
that there have been too many banks
in Rutland when the amount of CAPT
tai furnished and the business involved
are taken into consideration. The
proposed consolidation is in line with
similar actions on the part of Boston
and New York financial Institutions

The two Bell brothers and Robert

when they came to a steep hill the
older Bell. named James, told Hubert
to get out and walk. After consider
able grumbling. Hubert got out and
started to walk up the hill with BAH,
falling in behind the team. Young
Bell continued to protest against
what he considered the injustice of
his being made to walk and made so
much noise about il that Ball declar-
ed if Inc didn't keep still he (BalD

The feature of the opening evening
was the sparring match between
Richard Sheeman and James Hunter.
Sheeman is an employee of the Ben
nington Gas Light Company and Hun
ter of the Bennington Light and Pow
er company and the two boxers there
fore had each a considerable follow
ing among their fellow employees of
the respective companies. Hunter
outweighed Sheeman by a consider
able number of pounds and was the
more aggressive of the two. On the
other hand Slheeman outclassed his
opponent in height and reach and his
footwork was superior II was a case
OF a sturdy, rushing boxer who was
ready to come to close quarters at
any time against a lighter but shift
ty' man and the combination of the
two styles of boxing made an inter
esting exhibition for the spectators
The arrangements for the match
were well made and all OF the spec
tators were able to see every move
OF the boxers. The Squared circle"
was not so large as it might have
been and the dancing floor was of
course too slippery for an athletic
event of this kind but these slight de-
fects were unavoidable and made no
material difference.
There were FIVE two-minute rounds
and all were fast from the start to
finish. The last two rounds showed
a trifle more ginger" than the pre-
ceding three but all were marked by
some clever work. The boxers clincb-
ed rather frequently but this was I'M
avoidable because of the limited area
and the unstable footing.

CAN'T SOLVE GLOVER MURDER
WaItham Police Admit Mystery is
Still too Deep for Them

Waltham, Mass, Nov. 27.-In spite
of contrary reports no approach to
solution of the mystery attending the
shooting of Clarence F. Glover in his
laundry last Saturday night has been
given. The authorities admit that
their Investigations have progressed
but little since the arrest on Wednes-
day of Miss Hattie Leblanc whom the
dying man accused of firing the shots.
The rigid Investigations of the girls
story, in which she denied the accus-
atoms of her employer and the exam
ination of Mrs. Glover the widow has
apparently thrown little light on the
case. The officials, however believe
that the two women have not told all
they know about the dead man.
