BISSEL ATTACKS COOKS CLAIM
CIVIL ENGINEER OF PHILADEL
PHIA A DOUBTER.
Makes Some Calculations and Finds
Flaw in Statements Made
by Explorer.

One Of the latest men to attempt to
show that DIR. Cook did not reach the
north pole is Clinton s. Bissel. a civil en-
gineer of Philadelphia. who claims to
have made careful analysis" of the
route travelled by DR.. Cook, and who
argues that a man accustomed to making
observations in the far north would not
employ the terms used by the man who
claims to be the discoverer Of the pole.
The statement Of Mr.. Bissel is, in part
as follows:
THE report reads the night of April I
190s) was made notable by the rising OF
the sun at midnight over the northern
ice. Observations on April
placed our camp at latitude sc degrees 36
minutes. longitude 81 degrees minutes.
in order TO understand the import of
this statement it will be necessary to per-
form a simple calculation with the aid of
the Nautical Almanac and the tables
contained in Bowditch's American Prac-
teal Navigator
Reduces the Latitude.
1.-The result gives 81 degrees 50 minutes
10 seconds. which is the latitude NORTH at
which a man whose eye was at sea level
would see a few rays of the sun at mid
were raised 1000 feet, as II would be il he
were on the northern headland of Axei
Heiberg Land. there would be a difference
of 80 minutes IL seconds (Bowditch. by
formula), which would tend to reduce the
latitude. Deducting this. il gives 81 de-
grees Il minutes q seconds, which is the
latitude at which some OF the suns rays
would be seen April Z. 1908, at an ele-
walton of 800 feet above the sea under
normal conditions.
"A remarkable fact now presents A =
self, viz, that the latitude of Cape Thomas
Hubbard Is 81 degrees IL minutes north),
and II DR.. Cook were at this point April
Z, 1908. he probably either saw the suns
rays directly at midnight. by virtue Of a
slight excess of refraction, or else he
saw them gild the submits OF Cape
Thomas Hubbard and Cape Colgate.
which latter is 1000 feet high.
Furthermore. IL DR.. Cook were at lati-
tudc SO degrees, stated in his report
he would have seen the sun. at this date
and hour. more than degrees above the
horizon. and this condition is not one
which would inspire such words as are
used I'm his report. The night OF April :
was made nota BILE by the rising of the
sun at midnight over the northern ice
These words are. therefore. evidence that
probably DR.. Cook was at much lower
latitude than SO degrees April Z, 1908. and
that he might well have been about at
the eighty-first parallel, presumably near

NEW YORK, November 1J.-In a dis

women yesterday found the body of
Frank De Rosa. five years old. who had

The body lay about ten feet from the

they face a new mystery. deeper than
that of his disappearance. for they sus-
pect he was murdered.
Couldn't Have Fallen In.
For the boy TO have fallen into the
chimney would have been a physi al i'm
possibility. He weighed fifty pounds and
was large for his age. The aperture of
the chimney is SO small that. he could
have been crushed down into II only by
great force.
Yesterday his parents and their re-
naming children sat in room of the
tenement adjoining that in which the
chimney had been dismantled, and where
great piles of brick and plaster still cIut-
tered the floor. The mother sa. on the

how he died.

incident Of the refusal of Senator Tillman
to attend the luncheon given President
Taft in Columbia, the subject of news
paper discussion throughout South Caro-

Senator Tillman alleged that in invit-

were violated. In a public address Fri
day last Senator Tillman repeated these
allegations.
Cause Of Delay in Replying.
The committee declined to speak until
the President had come and gone. In his
statement Mr. Gonzales says he objected
to the entertainment Of the President at
the governors mansion. as Gov. Ansel
proposed. because Mr.. Taft had been in
