MONTERREY, Mexico, Sept. 2.-As

Of life and property are confirmed. Be-
lated dispatches today tell of damage
to the towns of Rayones and Galeana
and of the practical destruction of the

Much money for relief work has been
received from all over the republic and
the United States, but principally from
San Antonio and other Texas cities.
One hundred and two city blocks in
the city were laid in ruins In most
cases they were swept clean. leaving
nothing but deposits of sand. :
The stencil along the river caused

DANISH EXPLORERS
TO WELCOME COOK

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 2,-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cooks credit stands so high
with Danish polar experts that the
first message announcing his success
in reaching the North Pole. meager as
it was, was accepted as conclusive.
Commodore Hovgaard said today:
II believe the message is true be-
cause DIR. Cook is most trustworthy
and opposed to all exaggeration."
c. A. Nielzen. an official of the
Greenland administration department,
said:
"When DR.. Cook saws that he reached
the pole there can be doubt about it.
His scientific discoveries will prove
that"
A committee under the presidency
of the minister of commerce has been
formed to arrange a fitting reception to
DR.. Cook on his arrival at Copenhagen.
DR.. Maurice f. Egan, the American
minister, will be aboard a special
steamer that will be sent cut by the
Royal Geographical society tomorrow
to meet DR.. Cook, who is on his way
here on the steamer Hans Egede.
The Danish government tonight dis
matched the torpedo boat Juliand from
Aarhus to meet DR.. Cook, and the
Julland will probably come across the
Hans Egede off the Sl1aaw. The COM
mander will convey congratulations to
the explorer on behalf of the govern
ment.
The special committee of the Royal
Geographical society will invite DR..
Cook to be the society's guest during
his stay at Copenhagen.

FINE RIVERSIDE HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE
HOUSE OF MRS. B. G. CHURCH
GOES UP IN SMOKE
Loss on Building and Furniture Is
Estimated at $11 ,ooo-When Blaze
Was Discovered Help Was
Two Miles Away
[snecial to The Herald. ]

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 2.-The large,
two-story residence on Brockton ave-
nue. owned by Mrs. Bertha G. Church
was burned early this morning. 1t was
valued at $4,000, and furniture in it
owned by Judson Lewis was valued at
$4,000.
The insurance on the house was $SOOO'
with $4,000 on the furniture. The house
was unoccupied and flames were seen
at 2 o'clock bursting from the center
of the roof The fire already had MADE
such headway that it was deemed use
less to call the fire department, nearly
two miles away The furniture owned
by Mr.. Lewis included some rare Ola
family heirlooms and valuable grand
piano. Mrs. Church had owned the
property but short time, purchasing
it recently from Judson Lewis. 1t was
one of the best known places on Brock
ton avenue and probably will be re-
built
