ONCE ON POLAR DATA.

Go to Copenhagen First, Then
World Mag Haze Them.

When DR.. Frederick A. Cook stopped reading
from his manuscript at dinner given for him
in Brooklyn last night It was noticed that some
thing more TO the point was coming.
'Now, ladies and gentlemen" he said. '.just
another word" The men and women present
represented the Danish societies OF Greater
New York. I'm the last two or three DAYS
things have happened which have never be-
heved possible to human kind I have tried to
be calm. have tried to control myself; have
attempted to treat others as / should want to
be treated Now. find that this will not longer
do. In the future my campaign must be
changed therefore say to you that my next
move will be to cancel my lecture engagements
at once so that may devote myself solely 70
the preparation Of my data and statistics for
the very earliest submission to the University
of Copenhagen
There was real and prolonged enthusiasm, AZ
this point. Earlier in the evening before Dr
Cook rose to speak. the place seemed more or
less filled with melancholy Danes There had
been references TO ''heartiness of this welcome
to Dr. Cook, who discovered the North Pole but
the diners seemed unable to give their undivided
attention to the preceding speakers. There was
continuous rattle Of dishes. every one was
busy with his plate and the applause was as
sisted considerably by the orchestra.
Rumors have been circulated" continued Dr
COOK as soon as he could be heard. "as TO some
change having been made in the original DIan
but there has been no change. There is no need
LOT d change' This last spoken with unusual
Vlsor' brought the Danes to their feet THE en-
TIRE record will go first to Copenhagen-" he
added. "and then to the geograpbica, soc,s+,e.
