to be disregarded.
The Salt Lake Tribune gives an
account of the first days enforcement

COOK MAY TRY
FOR SOUTH POLE

Washington, Oct 3.-When DR.
Cook was asked if he would fit up an
expedition TO go TO the South Pole,
swer. but he added that the discovery
of the South Pole would be easier
than the North Pole.
An enthusiastic crowd of several
thousand greeted DR.. Cook on his ar

ness to see or get near him. were kept
In check with difficulty by scores OF
policemen and detectives.
At the station there was con-
spicuous lack of official courtesy TO

nor we're any civic bodies represented.
While DR.. Cook was being escorted
through the station his identity was
mistaken by a policeman, who in try

struck by some one from behind just

a discussion of criticisms aimed at

glad to have discovered the pole and
was glad also TO have returned to tell
the world about It, he had endeavored
to make it plain that his was pri
