WASHINGTON LECTURE.
Or. Wiley Quizes Explorer On Arctic
Foods, But Adds No Questions
About Pole.

Washington, d. Cdr. Frederick
A. Cook, the Arctic explorer, an
bounced shortly after his arrival from
New York to deliver lecture, that ne
will acquiesce in the proposition that
The University of Copenhagen be asked
to waive its claim to q prior exam
nation of his records, in order that
American geographic societies and
other scientific bodies in this country
may be enabled to review his data.
He said he would be satisfied to
have the decisions Of all these trik-
unals announced simultaneously.
DR.. Cook reached Washington at
$40 o'clock and was driven immedi-
ately to the new Willard hotel where
he had dinner and talked with the
newspaper men before going to local
theater to deliver his lecture.
Frankness characterized DIR. Cooks
answers to every question asked by
newspaper men.
When asked if he would, in the
future, fit up an expedition to go to
the South pole DR.. Cook said he was
not yet prepared to answer on that
point, but he added that discovery Of
the South pole would be rendered
much easier than that of the North
pole and would be attended by far
less dangerous risks.
He pointed out that probable route
to the South pole would be along
stretches of land on which stations
might be established and that this
would mean a quicker discovery.
DR.. Cooks lecture, which occupied
about an hour in delivering, was fire.
quently interrupted by cheering.
The explorer asserted that while he
was glad to have discovered the pole
and was glad also to have returned
to tell the world about 1T, that he had
endeavored to make it plain that his
was a private expedition and not one
backed by the government or by a
polar trust"
His only reference to Commander
Peary was in lauding the bravery of
nearly dozen explorers whom he
named and this evoked loud cheering
At the close of the lecture, DR..
Cook was the guest of the National
Press club during the remainder of
the evening. Among the guests of the
evening was DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
the governments pure food expert.
When DR.. Cook was introduced to DR..
Wiley, the latter at once began to
ply the explorer with questions.
Now l want you to tell me what
'pemmican' is" said DR.. Wiley, who
appeared to be more interested In
what DR.. Cook had to eat In his polar
trip than in the discovery of the pole.

Steam Threshers' Bond

Pierre-The attention Of the COM
missioner OF insurance has been called
to the alleged fact that many thresh.
ers are violating the law under which
every person owning or operating
tteam threshers are required to take
out bond or an indemnifying insur-
ance policy to the amount OF $500 to
secure the farmers for whom they
thresh against loss occasioned from
fires set from the machines Before
farmers allow threshers to begin they
should inquire neither the thresher
has taken out bond or policy; and. II
he has not to at once report to this
department. My reason for asking
this will be seen from reading the last
section of the law. which reads as
follows:
Section 3146--Any person who shall
fail to execute bond or take out and
keep in force the policy of insurance
required in the preceding section
shall be deemed guilty of misdomean-
or. and upon conviction thereof shall
De fined mt less than one hundred

WALSH is GUILTY
Misapplied the Funds Of the Chicago
National Bank

National Bank
Chicago, Oct. 5.-The verdict of the
trial court which found John r. Walsh
guilty of misapplication of funds OF
the Chicago National bank was af-
firmed by the United States circuit
court of appeals here today.
Counsel for Walsh in the appeal laid
the greatest stress on what they al
legged was thelack Of criminal intent
on the part of the defendant. Opinion
of the court of appeals, written by
Judge Humphrey and handed down by
Judge Grosscup, is brief and confined
almost wholly to the question of
criminal intent. The allegation that
Juror Palmer was unduly Influenced.
Is dismissed with a word, but little
more Is wasted in eliminating the al
legation of inconsistency and repug-
nance.
As to lack of criminal intent the
opinion leads: aF
Under Section 5209 there could be
misapplication OF bank funds by an
oldcer which would be innocent and
not criminal and there could be mis-
application which under the statutes
would be criminal What would show
the difference between misapplic atoms
which were criminal and those which
were not, what would show innocence
or guilt, good faith or bad faith, the
court sought by instruction carefully
to define and we think did fairly de-
fne."
Counsel for Walsh have 30 days in
which to ile an application for re-
hearing by the court of appeals. Mean
while he will be at liberty under his
present bonds of $50 900. Under to-
days decision Walsh must serve q
sentence of years Imprisonment, i'm
posed upon him by trial jury unless
the supreme court reverses today's de-
cision.

WRI0HT's FLIGHT

Does Spectacular Stunt at Hudson.
Fulton Celebration
New York. Oct. 4. An aeroplane
flashed by the white dome OF Grant S
tomb today, then running gracefully in
mid-air over the Hudson river, shot
back to Governors Island, ten miles
away. Wilbur Wright thus placed his
name In the rank with Hudson and
Fulton In one of the most spectacular
feats OF aviation.
Over masses OF warships, from who's e
decks the hoarse cheers Of the sailors
were borne up to him, Wright few the
twenty-mile round trip, remaining in
the air thirty-three minutes ana thirty
three seconds, alighting ct the aero
drome without mishap.
During the flight this morning, bust
ness was practically at standstiil In

cheers swept up from the banks Of the

THE FLIGHT.
The fight was made under condi-
tions only moderately favorable.
Almost ind.stinguishable against the
gray banks of clouds, the machine
scared past old Castle William and
entered the canon between the Man
haitian sky scrapers and the Jersey
hills. The aeroplane was first ut q
height of 200 feet, but unexpected air
currents moved the aviator down un-
til barely a hundred feet above the
river traffic.
Over the warsnips he passed, cheered
by sailors of the United States. Ger
many, France and Italy.
When the aeroplane reached the
British cruiser Argyll, eight miea
above Grants tomb, Wright gracefully
curved about and started on the re-
turn. The wind was then favorable
While the ten MES up the stream oc
cupied nearly twenty minutes. the re-
turn fight was made in little more
than thirteen. Nearing Governors Is
land he gradually lessened his height.
Past the island the machine sped, an
eighth of mile over the bay: then
veering sharply around Wright headed
swiftly for the landing place In which
he settled with the ease of bird. amid
the piaudits of the soldiers and the
civilians.
SURPRISE TO ALL
The fight today was surprise to
all. Throughout the Hudson-Fulton
celebration the elements had prevented
any special aviation demonstration,
excepting, Wright's encircling of the
statue of Liberty.
There had been disappointment VIII
