FOUND The NORTH POLE.
Much Sought Goal Reached by ID
tfepid American Explorer.

Cook, an American explorer, reach
ed North Pole April 81, 1908, accord,
in5 to a telegram just received at
the colonial office here.
DR. Cook is on board the Danish
government steamer Hans Egede,
which passed Lerwick at noon to.
day en- route for Denmark. The
telegram announcing DR. Cooks
achievement was sent by Green
land official on board the steamer
and reads as follows:
"We have on board an American
traveller, DR. Cook, who reached
the North Pole April 21, 1908. DR.
Cook arrived at' Uppernavik, the
rorthernmost Danish settlement in
Greenland, on an island off the west
coast, in May of 1909, from Cape
York, in the northwest part of
Greenland on Bafin Bay.
"The Esquimaux of Cape York
confirm DR. Cooks story of his
journey
DR. Frederick A Cook, accompani-
ed by a Norwegian, left Etab,
Greenland, March 3, 1908, taking
with him eight Esquimauz, four
sledges and twelve dogs. He was to
make his way through Ellesmere.
land.
For years DR. Cook has given his
attention to Arctic explorations and
in 1S9l-92 was surgeon of the Peary
Arctic expedition and in ls97-99
was surgeon of the Belgian Arctic
expedition.
The doctor started on his present
expedition in the summer of 1907,
sailing from North Sydney, G B.,
on board the schooner John R
Bradley. The party was reinforced
with sledges, dogs and Arctic equip
ment at Etah, Greenland, whence
they sailed March 8, 1908. DR.
Cooks plan was to set aside all ira
dition by making dash to the pole
during the winter months when the
elements are considered the least
advantageous for an advance north
ward.
The last news recei we'd from him
was dated March II, 1908, when
he was near Cape Thomas Hubbard.
He then reported that be intended
to push on to the northern point
of Grantland and from there start
his dash to to the pole in the winter
of 1908.
WHAT The DISCOVERY MEANS.
Sir Robert Ball, former as
tronomer of the Royal Observatory,
now professor of astronomy at CAM
bridge University, and one Of the
most distinguished British scien-
aists, has written the following state
ment for The New York World on
what the discovery of the North
Pole exactly means:
Two questions being asked all
over the civilized world to-day are:
First, why does any one want to so
to the North Pole? Second, how
does he know when he's there:
To answer the second question
first, the mariner who finds his
altitude in the northern hemisphere
to be 80 degrees knows he can be
nowhere else than at the North Pole.
The astronomer will tell you that
to any one standing at the North
Pole the sun rises and sets only
once a year-six months daylight,
six months night, mitigated only
by a little twilight at the be-
ginning and end of a period of
awful gloom, broken by occasional
moonlight or aurora.
The pole is truly unique spot on
the globe. Cook, standing there
faced due south. Whichever way
he looked he was more than twenty
miles nearer the centre of the earth

Third Time in History That
Niagara Falls Have
FrCzen So Completely

Niagara Falls, y. Y, Feb. 14.-Only
a tiny riyulet, not deep or swift
enough TO carry pulp log over the
brink, is flowing over the American
side of the Niagara falls A strong
wind which has blown since Friday
has held back the water and allowed
the Ice to form. Two employees of the
American reservation walked from
Prospect Point nearly TO Bath Island
this morning.
A great wall of ice runs from the
head of Goat island TO the American
mainland, through which only tiny
streams are able TO trickle. This wall
has even encroached upon the Cana
dian channel. extending out some 200
feet beyond the Third Sister island
and greatly diminishing the flow over
the Horseshoe. Only the very apex
of the Canadian falls is left and that
is robbed OF half of its flow. The
gorge below Is choked and the rapids
have lost their fury. while the whirl-
pool Is barely in motion.
This Is only the third time that this
combination of wind and ice has thus
affected the falls since the white man
came here. The other occasions we're
on March 30, 1913, and March %, 1903.

TO ORGANIZE COUNCIL
OF One HUNDRED MEN

New York, Feb. 1.-THE National
Civic Federation tonight announced
the appointment of committee which
will attempt to organize council oil
one hundred representative mon In
each of the states before whom will
be laid a plan TO secure more uniform
organization.
John Hays Hammond is chairman.
The other members follow:
Alton b. Parker, New York; Myron
T. Herrick, Ohio; David r. Francis,
Missouri. Curtis Guild, Jr., Massa-
chusetts: n J. Bachelor, New
Hampshire; Edward Warheld Mary

John Lennon, Illinois; John H Halli-
DAY, Indiana, and Benjamin Ide Wheel
er, California.
The federation points out that there
are useful national organizations
which hold meetings TO discuss al
fairs peculiar to their own pursuits
and calllngs, but il declares. hereto
fore. there has been no effort 10 cryS-
talize interstate organizations for the
accomplishment OF concrete aims. The
state council to be organized will at
tempt to bring this about.
THE development of the nation and
changes in conditions brought about
by more development have empha'
sized the harmfulness of incongruity
in law adopted as they have been
without any attempt at uniformity in
regulating the subject matter.
The people a the sessions do not
sufficiently know each other. 1t is
confidently expected that a meeting
for the common good of men from all
the states and the opportunities such
meetings will afford for better under
standing and appreciation of the peo-
pie and the institutions of widely
separated states will bring about a
unity of the people"

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. Feb. 14.-The semi
stagnant stock market OF last week
reflects the growing torpor of the
speculative spirit and the determina-
ton to await the clearer outlines OF
the business future before entering
OH further stock market commitments.
The extreme dullness of the trading
proved TO be not incompatible with
the firm tone. from which IL was in
ferred that owners OF stocks were con-
tent to hold them for lack OF oppor-
tunity to market them on favorable
terms and while awaiting a revival In
business and speculative activity.
Such strength as last weeks market
showed was attributed to the de-
mand from the bears to cover up the
short commitments made the week
before on the supposition that a pinch
in the money market might follow the
heavy depletion of the cash reserves
of the clearing house banks and also
that the American-Japanese agitation
in California might afford subject for
disturbance of the markets. AS these
suppositions were shown to be
groundless. the bears covered their
shorts and prices rose The transfer
o. cash from the clearing house banks
to the trust companies vaults. while
1t depleted the margin of the surplus
reserve in the official statement, 1t
was known TO strengthen the real po-
sition, so substantially by removing
the dependence of the trust companies
upon their deposits in the banks for
their ultimate reserve requirements
that confidence in the position was
correspondingly enhanced and credits
accorded with corresponding freedom.
Instead the demand for credits is so
meagre with prospect of continuance
of this condition until more active
trade shall develop and the force OF
replenishment of reserves so consid-
cradle by reason OF inflow from the
circulation to the custody of the banks
that any feeling of anxiety over money
market conditions is prevented. The
fiscal operations Of the government
offer the only likely source OF dis
turbance AS for the Japanese ques-
ton, the rise in Japanese government

sion was in progress was taken as

financial world The action OF the
California legislature will be accepted
AS full continuation of this opinion.
Foreign Influences were also distinct

monarchs to Berlin, the disbandment
OF the Bulgarian reserves and the
agreement between Germany and
France over Morocco all serving to

tions which have been a dormant in

Money markets abroad rapidly re-

from the policy of the French bank.
The clearing of the foreign money
market situation relieved the New

ion has settled down to an acceptance
of period Of delay In trade revival.
