University Does Not Under
stand Dr., Cooks Request
AN EXPLANATION is GIVEN
Or. Cook Says That He viii Have
University to Pass Upon His
Records But Reserve De-
cision Until Later.

Copenhagen, October 4--The announce
ment Of DR.. Cooks willingness to request
the University of Copenhagen to waive
its claim to the first examination of the
records of his journey to the north pole
caused keen disappointment and what
ever may be the reply of the university
to the explorers request, present indf-
cations do not foreshadow a graceful ac-
quiescence on the part of the general pub
lie
The rector of the university, in the
course of an interviaw. said today:
mo such request has yet been re-
ceived from DIR. Cook and it is impossible
to say what attitude the university will
take toward the suggestion that Ameri-
investigate the data. The decision of the
university will depend on the reason DR..
Cook gives"
The rector considered that very strong
influences must have been brought to
bear upon DR.. Cook in order to cause him
to prefer such request.
The general public is inclined to be an
noyed at the suggestion that foreign Sci
entific bodies shall first see the records.
The people consider the promise to give
the university here the first opportunity
Of passing upon the records as nothing
but justice in view of the honors heaped
upon the explorer by both the university
and the Danish public and their ungrudg-
ing support and belief in his exploits

TAFT is DELIGHTED WITH
RECEPTION EVERYWHERE
Trip Is Planned to Yosemite Valley
Where President Will Get His
First View OF the Magnifi-
cent Redwood Trees.

Sacramento, Cal, October 4.-After
making one of the longest jumps of his
trip and having been for % hours through
Oregon and the northern half of Cali
fornia, President Taft arrived here to-
night at 7:1O O'Clock to remain until 4
O'Clock tomorrow morning, when he will
proceed to Oakland and San Francisco.
The President was met at the station
by another large crowd. Mr.. Taft was
entertained at dinner, was taken for an
automobile ride through the city to be
cheered along the route and make an
address in the state capitol grounds.

before many of the policies can be carried
into effect, confrmatory and enabling
legislation must be secured and he
pledged himself to use all his power TO
induce Congress to pass all laws neces-
sary.
Having already made a number of set
speeches covering the various subjects
he expects to incorporate in his message
to Congress, the President during the
rest of his tour, will discuss in more or
less detail many Of the phases of the
larger questions, for he believes that
after all the details count more than
mere general declaration of policy.
Period Of Real Rest.
While 20 the average mind the thought
of a day and night of uninterrupted travel
suggests discomforts and fatigue, the %
hours between Portland and Sacramento
proyed to be a period of real rest and
endowment for the President The only
stops made on the way were at division
points-stops necessary to the operation
of the train. There were crowds at each
of these places and the President ap-
raared on the rear platform of his car

NAL remarks
AT Dunsmuir, near the FOOT OF mount

snow clad peaks in all the world, the

California had entirely cured the colo ne
contracted in Seattle.
Mr.. Taft thoroughly enjoyed his stay
on the train He read little, lounged
about the car. played friendly game Oh

ing the five or six hours Mount SHASTA
was in sight, admired that towering peak
in all the charming aspects the wlnolns
