Copenhagen Experts Decide Against Claim TO NORTH Pole
.,aANATIC
NIFE OF LEOPOLD
is EXPELLED
BY Associated Press

BRUSSELS, Dec 21.-The Bar
oness Vaughan, whom Leopold made
his queen in fact, if not in name.
quietly left Belgium today-her
reign ended, her power collapsed,
accepting the hint of the govern
ment that if she didn't depart vol
unfairly she would be expelled from
the country In spite of dispatches
asserting that the king and the bar
oness were married according to
the rites of the church, Leopold's
personal friends persist in their dis
belief
Prince Albert's plan to reunite
the exiled and separated family was
fulfilled today. AS the Baroness
Vaughan passed out forever from
Belgium, the Princess Louise trium-
phantly entered the city and was
officially greeted at the station and
acclaimed by the people. She was
conducted with royal honors to the
chateau Belvedere, which henceforth
will be her official home.
A small sized riot was created
this afternoon by inhabitants from
the provinces who came to the city
to view the body of the dead mon
arch. The trouble was caused by
the closing of the gates of the pail
ace at o'clock. After number
of people had been trampled on and
garments torn, the gates were re-
opened and the visitors allowed to
file past the catafalque.

CONGRESS HAS
ADJOURNED Until
JANUARY Fourth
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Con-
gress has adjourned until January
4. Important steps were taken to-
ward a congressional investigation
of the llinger-Pinchot controver-
sy. A resolution by Flint, calling
for all the papers bearing upon the
case, was adopted. Jones read a
letter from Ballinger practically de-
manding an inquiry, which he said
he courted, and also expressed the
belief that any inquiry should be
broad enough to cover the "pernic-
ious activity of officials in the for
estry service, as well as the alleged
basis of any charges against the adj
ministration of the. interior depart
ment. The house was in session ten
minutes.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 21.-The
special committee of scientists ap-
pointed by the University of Copen-
hagen to investigate DR.. Cooks
claims that he had discovered the
North Pole, was submitted to the
consistory of the university this
morning, was indorsed by that body,
and then given to the public.
The report skaters completely,
almost contemptuously, the Ameri-
can explorers title to such discov-
cry, and fills the officials and people
of Denmark with chagrin at the
figure Denmark is made to assume
in the eyes of the scientific world.
The public was prepared for a
verdict of Not proven" but did not
expect it's hero to be branded as an
imposter. Explorers and scientists
have almost entirely lost faith in
Cooks honesty, while one of his
warmest supporters, Knud Rasmus-
sen, helped to frame the report.
The evening papers attack Cook,
and severely reproach him for hid
ing, which TREY regard as sign of
a guilty conscience.
Although the university has taken
no action toward cancelling the de-
gree conferred upon Cook, it is be-
lieved that it will be withdrawn in
the same way that government
could deprive a person of an order
obtained under false pretenses.
Commodore Gustav Holm, an Arc
tic explorer and member of the
committee, said that Cooks claim
that he had made an observation at
80 degrees, 50 minutes and 46 sec
onds near the pole, proved immedi-
ately that he was a bad observer
but nothing indicated that he was
a swindler. Now said Holm, Ibis

MAGNOLIA, Ala, Dec. 21.-
With state troops and armed depu-
ties patrolling the streets and pub
lie roads leading into Magnolia, and
33 of the negro ringleaders held in
improvised stockades, it is believed
the threatened race war will be
averted. The excitement is not en-
tirely allayed, and every white
mans house for several miles
around is guarded against threat
ened revengeful acts on the part of
negroes, who resent the burning OF
Clint Montgomery yesterday, one OF
the four desperadoes charged with
the killing of Algernon Lewis. II
is reported that negroes are plan
ming to attack the town tonight

ADMINISTRATION
BEHIND TAFT in
INVESTIGATION
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Any
doubt that the whole force of the
Taft administration is behind the
investigation demanded by both fac
tions in the so-called Ballinger-Pin-
chot controversy was dispelled by
events in and out of congress to-
day There is now no question but
that the spresident himself is eager
for a merciless probing into the
matter-as eager as he has hitherto
been reluctant to admit the neces-
sity of it. Men in a position to
know the sentiments of Taft de-
clared tonight that he has become
convinced that there lies behind the
attack on Ballinger a more or less
organized movement to discredit th>
Taft administration, especially by
spreading the impression that the
so-called Roosevelt policies" are in
unfriendly hands; that Ballinger is
made a target only on the theory
that he affords the most vulnerable
point in the administration.
The first step paving the way fol
congressional investigation was TAX

BLUEFIELDS, Dec. 21.-The
revolutionists, under General Estra-
da, completely routed the Zelayan
forces near Rama, today Estrada
captured Recreo, Vasquez,s strong
est position, and has been victorious
all along the line, which stretches
for eight miles.
The casualties on the government
side are high, the greatest execution
being done at Recreo, which the
revolutionists took by assault.
Among those in the revolutionary
ranks were Captain Godfrey Fow-
Ter, formerly in the 33rd infantry,
U. S. A., who was in command Of
the firing line. Tatumbla was cap
tured this afternoon by General
Mena, after bloody fight. A large
number of prisoners we're captured
by Estradas forces.
Word reached here today that Ze-
laya is determined to retain the po-
sition of commander-in-chief of the
army.

sion, and at O'Clock Attorney Nor

for the state. He was followed by
Judge j. A. Saunders for the de
fendant. District Attorney Cleve H
Baker made the closing argument
