Or. COOKS RECORDS
READY FOR THE DANES.
Original Data as Compiled in Arctic
Regions Will Go to Copenhagen.

New York, Nov. 24.-The records
which Dr. Frederick A. Cook will sub
NIT to the University of Copenhagen
in proof Of his claim that he reached
the north pole on April p. 1908, are
today in completed form and ready for
the scrutiny to which the university
authorities will subject them.
Walter Lonsdale, secretary to DR..
Cook. will sail tomorrow on the steam
er United States of the Scandinavian
line for Copenhagen, taking the rec
ords with him.
Mr. Lonsdale said today that the
task of arranging the original records
and compiling the report upon them
had occupied several weeks. DIR.
Cooks report, he said, constituted a
rather bulky document.
You can't put it in your vest pock-
et." said the secretary, VINO added that
the document contained, he thought,
between $4,000 and 10000 words.
Il don't think that the general pub
lie understands the work that we have
been doing" continued Mr.. Lonsdale.
ut has been said that we were pre-
pairing the records Such q statement
is inaccurate. The original records go
to the university just as they were
made by DIR. Cook in the Arctic re-
giOns. What we have been preparing
is the report to accompany them"
Mr.. Lonsdale said he expected to
arrive in Copenhagen on Dec. Z and
would Immediately place the records
in the hands of the university authori-
ties. How long the university will
take In examining them and make
known its findings Of course 1 cannot
tell,' he continued. Il should assume
that 1t would be possible for the uni
versity's announcement to be made by
the New Years holidays"
What precaution had been or would
be taken to guard the records en- route
Mr.. Lonsdale did not care to reveal.

her to go as a passenger over any
transportation line engaged in inter
state or foreign commerce.
Startling Situation Disclosed.
"The investigations in Chicago under
the direction of District Attorney Sims
and elsewhere" said Mr.. Mann today
at the close of the conference have
disclosed a situation startling in its
nature as to the extent of the traffic
in young girls both within the United
States and from France and other for
eign countries. Most of these Ameri-
can girls are enticed away from their
homes in the country to large cities.
The police power exercised by the state
and municipal governments is made
quate to prevent this-particularly
when the girls are enticed from one
state to another or from a foreign
country to the United States"
Afternoon Conferences.
Postmaster General Hitchcock par
ticipated in the conferences during the
afternoon. District Attorney Sims has
himself been recommended for appoint
ment to the federal bench to succeed
Judge Bethea. No decision as to this
vacancy was reached so far as could
be learned.
President Tafts views as to amend
ments to the interstate commerce law
have been pretty generally known ever
since his speech at Des Moines on Sept.
20. The conference at the White House
this afternoon, it was explained, was
for the purpose of working out the de-
tails of the amendments needed to car
ry Mr.. Taft's views into effect. At
torney General Wickersham has been
devoting much time to a study of the
law and will have much to do with the
drafting of the bill which will be pre-
sented in congress.
