COMMISSION PROPOSES
 CHANGES IN THE LAW FOR THE REGULATION OF INTER
 STATE RAILROADS What Is Needed to Make the Act What
 1t Should Be

Washington, Dec 21-Reeommenda- tions for changes in the present law regulating the transportation com panies are contained in the twenty third annual report of the interstate commerce commission. transmitted to- day to congress.
 Five of tue suggestions made by the special committee selected by Presi- dent Taft to draft. changes in the ex- isting interstate yepmmerce act are of fered in the report It is known that the commission a- body favcrs the plans proposed by that committee. but as a matter of courtesy has refrained from discussing any changes in ad- vance of special message on the sub ject. which the president indicated that he will send to congress.
 Briefly summarized, the proposed amendments are as follows;
 That physical valuation be made of the interstate railroads of the country which shall be binding on the courts and the commission.
 That the commission be given power to prevent advances in rates or changes in regulations or practices to the disadvantage of shippers pending an investigation into the reasonable ness of the proposed changes.
 The commissions authority to estab fish a joint rate and through route is limited to cases where no such route exists and the commission recom- mends that this limitation be stricken out of the law so that it may estab- fish through route wherever upon in vestigation it is found desirable.
 X further recommendation is that fin certain instances the shipper be per mitted to direct the intermediate rout- ing of his traffic; also that the law be so amended as to give the commission undoubted authority to enter a cOrrec- tive order as the result of an investi- gation instituted by the commission upon it's own motion.
 The commission again calls to the attention of congress. the increasing importance of some form of federal control over railroad capitalization.
 The opinion is expressed that viola tions of the law, such as relating in some form or another. are decreasing Some account is given of the proceed ings during the year in the enforce nsent of the safety appliance law, and the commission states that the results are gratifying.

A SIGN OF A CONSPIRACY.

Washington, Dec 21.-Any doubt that the whole force of the Taft ad- ministration is to be behind the in- vestigation demanded by both sides in the so-called Ballinger- -Pinchot controversy was dispelled by events in and out of congress today. There is now no question but that President Taft himself is as eager for a merci- less probing of the whole matter as hitherto he has been reluctant to ad- init the necessity for it.
 A motive much deeper than a will lingness to do justice to Mir. Ballinger is ascribed to Mir. Taft by senators. representatives and others active in politics. Men in d position to know the sentiments of Mir. Taft, declared tonight that he has at least become convinced of the truth of what his friends have been telling him for many weskS-of what he has hitherto laughed at-tha1 there lies behind the attack on MT. Ballinger more or less definitely organized movement to discredit the Taft administration. es- pecially by spreading the impression that the so-called Roosevelt policies are in unfriendly hands; that Bal finger was made the target on the theory that he offered the most vul- nerable point in the administrator.

Copenhagen. Dec. 21.-Widespread indignation over the deception which has placed virtually the whole of Den mark in somewhat humiliating po- sition has taken place today of the hero worship heretofore accorded the explorer Cook.
 While there have always been some who doubted that Cook would be able to prove his claim. few doubted that he would at least supply some plaus- ibie data and supporting material The public is unable to comprehend why Cook sent his papers when he ad- mits in a letter presented to Professor Torp by his secretary Lonsdale. that Tt seems unwise and impossible to give final judgment because of the absence of the instruments and ob- servations which I left at Etah."
 Members of the examining com mittee are angry over the doctors behavior. Professor Stronger, the president of the committee. is furious and tonight characterized Cook s treatment of the university as shame less"

DECLARED AN IMPosToR

copenhagen. Dec 21.-The report or the special committee Of scienus's which the University of Copenhagen apnointed to investigate Cooks claims that he discovered the pole was SUD mitted to the consistory of the uniVer sitv today. was indorsed and given to the public. The report shatters com pleteIy, almost contemptuously. the explorers title to such discovery ana fills the officials and people or Den mark with chagrin at the figure Den mark was made to assume in the eyes of the scientific world.
 The public was prepared for yer dict of mot proven" but did not expect the recent hero to be branded as an imposter Many still cling to the be- lief that Cook acted in good faitn, put narbored delusions.
 FxpIorers and scientists have almost entirely lost faith in Cooks honesty, while one of his warmest supporters, Knud Rasmussen helped to frame the report The evening papers attack Cook severely and reproach him for hiding. which they regard as sign or a guilty conscience.
 The degree which the university con ferred upon. Cook will be withdrawn.
 Commodore Gustav Holm, the arctic explorer, g member of the committee, said: Cooks papers convict him of being a swindler. We have agreed unanimously that his observations are worthless
 Professor Olufson. secretary of the Danish Geographical society said: Tt is the saddest event of my life. As an explorer there seems to be no doubt that Cook is absolutely unreliable
 The National I'idende, while deplor- ing that the university conferred degree, finds consolation in the fact that others honored Cook. 'The pres ident of his own country and the envoy to Copenhagen" says the paper were guarantors of him. Denmark didn't blunder alone
 Rasmussen. one of Cooks strongest supporters. said the papers Cook sent to Copenhagen were most impudent

4 FATAL SHOOTING
 OA \. s {. LINE
DAVE o'poNNELL INSISTED ON
 DYING.
Williamson a Contractor Found it Nee 
 esssary to Kill Him.

Parker. Dec 21.-(Special)-A man by the name of Dave ODonneil was shot by William Williamson at the lat ter's railroad camp. about four miles west of Calzona- An authorized re- port states that Williamson fired in self defense and the affair occurred about as follows:
 On Saturday evening, O'Donnell ar rived in the camp of Williamson much under the influence of liquor. He be- came involved in an altercation with one of the negro employees at the camp. and later he came up to the commits sary store. Williamson told O'Donnell to get away and that he must leave the negroes and mules alone.
 This an cred O'Donnell and with abusive language he started to draw his revolver He was first to produce his revolver, but fatally. He pulled it with his left hand. Before he could change it to his right. Williamson fired the ball taking effect in the right shoulder of ODonnelf. The shot did not knock ODonnelI down, and though wounded he fired simultaneously with Williamson. The second shot took eff feet in O'DonnelPs other shoulder. This knocked O'Donnell down. but he at tempted to use his gun. Williamson at once sent a messenger to Parker for d physician and officer. The sum- mons was responded to by Dr. Mc- Ginnis and Deputy Oliver Norge. O'Donnelrs would was found to be fla tai, and he died on Monday morning thirty-six hours after the tragedy.
 Officer Norge and Williamson left last night for Needles where William son will surrender to the sheriff of San Bernardino county A coroner is en- route from Needles to hold an inquest over the dead whose body is still being guarded by Wiiliamson's orders.
 Williamson, who with his wife came to this country from Alhambra cou- pie of months ago is contractor with the firm of c. D. Smith and company.
 All reports say that no blame can attach to williamson as his action was one of self defense He will probably be released upon completion of the ex- animation.
 ODonnell was employed at the rail- road camp of Scott and Sons. further out on the A & C. line. Little is known at this time of him

THE DECISION

Copenhagen. Dec. 21.-The Univer- sity of Copenhagen. the first insti- tuition of learning to recognize that Dr. Cook discovered the north pole. soIemnly declared today that the ex- plorer had failed to establish the claim on which his high honors had been based. The committee appoint ed by the University to examine Cooks records. reported to the con- sistory of the university which re- viewed the deductions of the experts with great care and discussed the findings from every standpoint. That both the committee and the consis- tory were disappointed was soon known
 The consistory met today and adopt ed a written report that the alleged records submitted by Cook failed to prove his claim. The report of the committee as presented to the consis- tory. states that Cooks papers were without value and that his report to the University of Copenhagen was virtually the same as that published by the New York Herald on his re- turn from the Arctic.
 Copies of his notebook contain no original calculations of observations only the results thereof. The com mittee concluded that Cook affords no proof whatever. produced before the committee.
 A letter from Cook post marked Marseilles, December IA. lends color to the earlier report that Cook sailed from New York for a Mediterranean

 New York, Dec. 21.-Honored by the king of Denmark. heralded by the University of Copenhagen, garlanded with roses by young girls, accorded the freedom of the city of New York and acclaimed as the bravest man that ever dared the silent terrors of the arctic, Dr. Frederick Cook stands to- friends.
 There is not a word from him in de- fense or explanation. Nothing but disavowals from his partisans in the controversy that has ragged since he flashed the word frop Lerwick, Shet- land Islands. to his wife: Successful, well; address Copenhagen" Even his address is lacking tonight only his brother still stands stubbornly by him, refusing to believe that the verdict of the University of Copenhagen has been correctly reported.
 Interest tonight turns on three ques- tions. Where is the doctore What will he have to say for himself? What will he do with himself? Charles Wake, his close friend. and Dr. Cooks brother. of Brooklyn. say he is at Christiansend. Norway. with his wife
 A friend who asked him what he would do if the University of Copen- hagen found against him, said he re- piled: T will go among the Eskimos of southern Greenland and try to carry on such a medical mission as Dr. Grenfell made famous"
  friend, who is the authority for the statement above. was asked tonight how much he thought Cook made of the sale of his narrative to newspa- pers and by his lectures.
 More than ss000O. said Wack More than s10O.00O. said a friend
