Dr. Frederick Cook Reaches Long Sought for Point April 2
GOMPERS AGAIN
MAKES ADDRESS TO
EUROPEAN unions
(By Associated Press }

PARIS, Sept. Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, addressed the In
ternational Trades and Unions con-
gress again today, denounced inter-
national strike breaking and de-
clared the systematic immigration
of workmen in the times of depres-
sion and strikes in other countries,
to be one of the greatest menaces
to organized labor. Gomper's pro-
posal for the organizating of an in
ternal federation of workmen could
not be discussed because the Ameri-
can Federation isn't affiliated with
the European unions, but a British
resolution of the same import was
adopted. A resolution was then
passed against workmen offering
their services at times when the
dockmen and stevedores strike. The
conference adjourned to meet at
Buda Pest in 1911.

RAWHIDE FEARS
A REPETITION OF
The CLOUDBURST
(By Associated Press.)

RAWHIDE, Sept. lit is now
believed the cloudburst which de-
stroyed over one hundred houses in
Squattertown last night didn't re-
suit in any loss of life so far as is
known. The four persons reported
as missing last night were found to-
day uninjured. The property dam
age is estimated at 100000, of
which the Proskey Mining company
suffered loss of $4,000. The en-
tire equipment of the mine was de-
stroyed and the shaft filled to tn
collar with water. A shipment of
high-grade ore is also reported car
ried away by the food. Tonight the
clouds gathered above the towl
again and there is some fear of a
repitition of the cloudburst.

BOARD OF REVENUE
SOON TO CONVENE

George Springmeyer, assistant dis
trict attorney, left yesterday for Car
son City, where he will consult the
members of the board OF revenue
regarding the resolutions passed by
the commissioners of this county in
which it was declared that an emer-
gency existed which called for the
county's making a loan in order to
meet certain pressing indebtedness.
Under a recent act of legislation
it is provided that when the board
of commissioners OF any county in
this state shall present its resolu-
tion to the state board of revenue,
declaring a condition existing such
as is described above, the board of
revenue by its approval of the reso-
luton authorizes the county to make
the necessary loan. Mr.. Spring
meyer will attend the meeting OF the
board of revenue this week and urge
the necessity OF the approval OF the
resolution sent from this county.
and 1t is believed he win meet with
little or no interference in securing
the desired end. The amount asked
to be approved is $4,000. which
will be used for the payment OF the
local nre department and certain
other debts which have gone unpaid
for some time. .--Goldneld Tribune.

1t is understood the Danish con-
sui at Lerwick, where the Hans
Egede remained for two hours, was
officially notified of Cooks success
but was bound to secrecy. Director
Ryberg, the head of the Greenland
administration bureau, said tonight,
he didn't expect to receive any fur
ther details of Cooks achievement
before the arrival of the Hans Eg-
ede, which will probably be Satur-
day.
The announcement of Cooks sue
cess caused great enthusiasm here
and many Americans called at the
legation to congratulate Minister
Egan. The noted explorer and COM
mander, leader of various North
Pole expeditions, is convinced the
message is true, but remarked. that
1t was strange that no mention was
made in the cable as to whether or
not there was land at the pole.

CRIPPLE CREEK (Colo.), Sept.
Immediately following the an
nouncement by Thomas F. Walsh,
millionaire mining man, that he had
deposited substantial sum with the
school of mines at Golden to defray
the expenses of testing samples of
ore believed to be pitchblende, comes
the declaration of Carl Hextus, a
well known prospector of the Cripple
Creek district, that pitchblende ore
can be found in paying quantities
near this city, as samples discovered
some time ago have been pronounced
genuine by experts.

few hours of daylight. AS we cross
ed the heights of Ellesmere Sound
to the Pacific slope, the temperature
sank to minus S3 centigrade Sew
eral of the dogs were frozen and
the men suffered severely. We
forced our way through Nasen
Sound to Lands End. In this
march we secured 101 muck oxen,
seven bears and 335 hares. We
pushed out into the Polar sea from
the southern point of Herbert is
lands on March IS. Six of the
Esquimaux returned from here.
With four men and forty-six dogs
moving supplies for eighty days, the
crossing of the Circumpolar pack
was begun. Three days later two
other Esquimaux, forming the last
of the supporting party, returned,
and the trials were now reduced by
a survival of the fittest. Two of the
best men and twenty-six dogs were
picked for the final effort There,
before us in the unknown line, 460
miles away, lay our goal The low
temperature and persistent winds
made life torture. But cooped up
in the snow houses, eating dried
beef, tallow and drinking hot tea,
some comforts were gained. For
several days the sight of known
land was lost. On March 80 the
horizon became partly clear and
new land was discovered Observa-
tions gave the position as latitude
.S4.47, longitude 86.36. Here we
saw the last sights of solid earth
beyond which nothing stable could
be seen. The advance was steadily
made over a mohotony of moving
sea ice and we found ourselves be-
yond the range of all lights, so that
neither the foot prints of bears nor
the blow holes of seals could be
detected. The maddening influence
of the shifting desert frost became
almost unendurable in the daily
routine. The extreme cold compell-
ed physical action and thus day
after day our weary legs spread the
big distances. The night of April
was made notable by the swinging
of the sun at midnight over the
northern ice, and the observation on
April 9Th placed the camp in latitude
S6.36, longitude 94.2. We were
now about 200 miles from the pole
and the sledge loads were being
rapidly reduced. Dog after dog
went into the stomachs of the hun
CRY survivors until the teams were
considerably diminished in number
but it seemed to remain in the bal
ance for the man and brutes to push
along into the heart of mystery to
which we had set ourselves.
"On April 21st we reached SO de-
grees, SO minutes, as seconds. The
pole was in sight and we covered
the remaining IA seconds and made
a few final observations. Every
where we turned was south. With
a simple step We could pass from
one side of the earth to the other;
from midday to midnight. At last
the American flag fioated to three
seas at the pole. It was April 21,
1908. The temperature was SS cen
tigrade. latitude 90 and as for lon
gltude, It was nothing as 1t was but
a word. There was no ground. only
an immensity of dazzling white
snow; no living being: no one to
break the frightful 'monotony. On

PARIS, Sept. 1.-"After pro-
longed fight with famine and frost
we at last succeeded in reaching the
North Pole Thus declares DR..
Frederick A. Cook, in signed
statement this morning in the Paris
edition of the New York Herald. The
statement, which is dated "Sans
Edege, Lerwick, Wednesday" con-
tinues: "a new highway with an
interesting strip of animated nature
has been explored and big game
haunts located. Land has been dis
covered on which rests the earth s
northernmost rocks and a triangle
of 10000 square miles has been cut
out of the terrestrial unknown.
"The expedition was the outcome
of summer cruise in the Arctic
seas on the schooner Bradley, which
arrived at the limits of navigation
in Smith Sound late in August,
1907, and here the conditions were
found favorable for launching the
venture to the pole. ]. r. Bradley
literally supplied from his vessel
suitable provisions for local use, and
my own equipment for emergencies
served well for every purpose in the
Arctic.
Many Esquimaux had been gath
cred on the Greenland shores at
Annatosk for the winter bear hunt.
Immense quantities of meat had
been collected and in the camp were
plenty of strong dogs.
Everything was arranged for at
a point 700 miles from Boreal Cen
ter A house and workshop was
built of packing boxes and tribe
consisting of 250 people set them
selves to the problem of devising a
suitable outfit. Before the end of
the long winter nights, plans were
matured to force a new route over
Grinnel land northward along its
west coast and out onto the Polar
sea. Before the campaign began,
scouting parties were sent over the
American shores to explore the way
and seek game haunts. On account
of the storms their mission was only
partly successful. At sunrise on
February 1s, 1908, the main expe-
dition embarked on the voyage to
the pole. 1t consisted OF eleven men
and 1O3 dogs drawing eleven heav-
lily laden sledges. The expedition
left the Greenland shore and pushed
westward over the troubled ice oI
Smith Sound. The gloom Of the
long night was relieved only by a

In religious matters he was Of the
New England type of strict con-
structionists. He believed In strict
observance OF the Sabbath, strict
temperance, and was what some
might call old-fashioned in his ad-
herence to the good old ideals.
He was a wealthy man and gave
literally. Every good work In the
city and Territory has received as
sistance from him, and many OF his
donations have been figured In the
large fractions of million. No
one except his family knows how
much he has given, as he gave qui-
city, and 1t is doubtful II even they
know all.
w. o., Smith, a close, lifelong
friend Of Mr.. Cookies, paid him the
following high tribute:
"Mr. Cooks was IA man OF very high

he developed remarkable business
and financial ability, and conducted
his business on the lines of highest
integrity. His interest In educa-
tional and philanthropic matters has
been of the highest order, and Mrs.

ers & Dickson. Mr.. Cooke was a
member of this firm at the time of
his death. About 1889 Mr.. Cooke
retired and went to California to
live. He was recalled in 1898 to
take the presidency Of the Bank of
Hawaii, as p. G. Jones wished to
withdraw. This position he held up
to the present time, though In recent
months the active management Of
the bank passed under the capable
direction of his son, Clarence II.
Cooke.
There is probably no man In the
city who had such large and diversi-
fed interests as Mr.. Cooke. He was
president of the commission house OF
Brewer & Co., and has been active
in the establishment and director
ates of the following sugar planta-
tons: Eva, Waialua, Kahuku, Ii
hue. Koloa, Kohala, Hawaiian Agri-
ricultural, Onomea, Pepeekeo. He
owned a controlling interest In the
American Sugar Company now being
con ducted as a ranch under the
management of his son. George p.
Cooke. On these lands have been
taken up of late the extensive ex-
periments for the diversification Of
industry.
Mr.. Cooke has been leader In the
business life of the city, having serv-
ed as president OF the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce. He was the
delegate from Hawaii in the repre-
sentation from the Pacific Coast
Chambers of Commerce that visited
Japan last year. and was named as
vice president of that important del
egation. He has been president of
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Asso-
citation and the Sugar Factors Com
pany, Ltd. He has held trustee
ships without number, among them
being trustee OF Oahu College, the
Bernice Pauahi Bishop estate and
the Queens Hospital. He was a
charter member of the Hawaiian So
ciety of the Sons of the American
Revolution.
As a matter of fact, there has not
been business, religious, patriotic
or philantiropic movement in the
last thirty years with which he has
not been associated in some capac'
ity, and invariably as a liberal con.
tributor.
Mr.. Cooke was very active mem.

Hawaii's rifle team has made a
record at Camp Perry of which we
are all proud, but what Hawaii
needs more than anything else is a
community in which every citizen is
able to shoot straight. Better even
than an armory for the militia
would be an enthusiasm for rifle
practice among old and young that
would make Honolulu's shooting av-
erage the highest of any American
city. Then you would hear less talk
of Hawaii's ability to take care OF
itself In time of stress.
