twelve states and one territory-New

several days. The Cairo lynchings
were the only cases of the kind that
occurred north of the Ohio River dur

quadruple lynching, with four cattle

Copenhagen, Dec. 1S.-The consistory
of the University of Copenhagen at a
secret session today received a prelim-
mary report covering the first stage of
the work of the committee examining
Cooks polar records. An excited dis
cussion followed. The committee has
not completed its investigation.
The report was presented by Rector
Torp, but it's nature was carefully
guarded from others than members of
the consistory. The latter are pledged
TO secrecy. TO newspapermen, Torp
said: "The committees work is not
yet finished. | cannot tell how long
ii will continue, but | hope the result
can be made public before New Years.
Both members of the consistory and
examining committee have been for
hidden strictly to make public any
thing whatever regarding what has
been accomplished thus far by the in
vestgators."
Popular opinion here appears to
have undergone a change. From the
beginning of the controversy the popu-
lace Of Copenhagen has been decided
ly pro-COok. Recent developments,
however, have been disappointing and
today the general impression prevails
Cooks papers do not constitute proof
that he discovered the pole.

HENRY FRICK TO OBSERVE
HIS SIxTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Former Steel King is Still in Harness
and Yields Tremendous Influence
in Financial World--No
Plans TO Retire.

New York, Dec. 1S.-When Henry
Clay Frick resigned the active man
agement of the Carnegie Steel COM
that he was To retire from business
and spend the remainder OF his years
in the enjoyment OF his ample for
tune. The report was far from cor
rect. as events soon proved.
Tomorrow Mr. F'rick will celebrate
his sixtieth birthday and. so far as
Is known, he is still without any in
tention of getting out OF active har-
ness. There are few buster men i'm
New York today and fewer stil who
WELD such tremendous measure of
influence I'm the world OF finance.
A great deal had been printed about
Mr.. Fricks achievements. his mar
velous success and his rise to great
power when he came TO New York in
1900, but 1t was not until some years
later that Wall street seemed TO wake
up to the fact that he was a dominant
influence In the financial world.
II was just before his entry in the
directorate OF the Reading Railroad
company that Mr.. Frick made his
name more famous and showed that
his power was second to none. Just
about this time Wall street was ex-
perlencing panicky feeling. There
was a great bear movement on and
the attack was made principally
against Reading. For three DAYS the
market was completely demoralized.
About noon of the third day there
came the first CLEAN OF hope. Reading
began to shoot upward on enormous
transactions. After the stock had re-
covered all its previous losses Wall
street began to look around to find
out who was the power behind the
Reading throne. The news leaked out
that it was Henry C. Frick, and that
he had bought practically every voting
share of the stock. BY the coup In
Reading the financier from Pittsburg
was credited with having increased
his bank account some eight millions.
During the past few weeks Mr. Frick
is understood to have added largely
to his holdings of Reading company
common. His influence, it is said. is
being exerted i'm favor of an increase |
In the Reading common stock dividend. |
He is also credited with some. of the |
recent buying which has helped to |
advance the Pennsylvania group OF
stocks He is believed TO be the iarr- !
est individual holder of Pennsylvania |
