DANES STUDY
COOK RECORDS
If Absolutely Accurate it May
Arouse Suspicious Of the
Committee
WEATHER MAKES CORRECT
OBSERVATIONS IMPOSSIBLE

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
COPENHAGE., Dec. H.-Should the
polar data OF DR.. Frederick A. Cook be OF
an absolutely accurate nature it will
arouse more suspicion in the minds of the
committee that is examining II on behalf
Of the university than IL It is somewhat
inaccurate This was made plain to-day
by a member Of the committee, who de-
clared that It was a known fact that
frost and storms admittedly encountered
I'm the polar region rendered absolute ac-
curacy in observations impossible and the
committee expects TO encounter dithcuiues
and some deviation from tho absolute
accurate record that might be compiled
by scientific deductions rather than ac-
tual experience.
The committee will have completed its
report and the university announced its
aecision within a fortnight. While there
has been a hue and cry on the part OF
the Americats over the disappearance OIL
Dr. Cook, there is no anxiety here. lie
has communicated TO the committee OF the
university his exact whereabouts 80 that
II Il Is desired to communicate with MIN
Il can easily be done.
M one knows whether the committee
will consider the afndavits and other data
submitted on behalf of George II. Dunkle
and Captain August W. Loose in which
the latter alleges he prepared the figures
for Cooks use. The data is I'm the possess
sion OF the committee but what It intends
10 do with it remains a profound secret.
The committee got down to work on the
Cook records early to-day.
Professor Stroemgren first read over all
Of the data Then the papers were divided
among the committeeman, who after ex-
amining each individual notation, will eX-
change with the other hembers so that
each will be able to express an opinion on
the record as a whole and also on each
unit
Realizing fully that its work will be re-
viewed by scientists everywhere the COM
mittee will not hurry over the records,
but all will be considered in every detail
and scientifically proved. When the final
result is known It has been decided that
the announcement will be made by the
chancellor Of the university and by his di-
rection transmitted 20 other scientific
bodies

statement to-day, Provisional Presi-
dent Estrada and General Chamor~o
have entered into an agreement with
Generals Nasquez and Toledo. leaders
Of the government forces at Rama and
Greytown respectively. that there shall
be no fighting in Bluehelds. They are
said 70 have notified the American
government OF their intention TO keep
Bluefelds without the zone OF battle
and 10 protect all property here.
United states Consul Monat is pre-
pairing quarters for the American
marines, his activity being construed
as n proof that the United states in
tends to land marines shortly.
The situation at Rama Is unchanged.
Vasuuez has sent two more ennis
sares TO Rama TO confer with Estrada.
though Il is believed their purpose Is
TO delay the threatened attack by
Estrada until reinforcements for the
government troops arrive.
u is now believed that Estrada will
not attack Vasquez until Congress acts
regarding a successor TO Zelaya, whose
resignation has caused intense rejoicing
hore If Congress names man eatis-
factory TO the revolutionists, the two
armies at Rama will probably effect
permanent truce. II Madriz is chosen
however. there Is little doubt that
Estrada viii lead his long threatened
attack on Vasquez.
Estrada's delay can be explained on
no other ground as all reports agree
that his force IS superior TO that OF the
government. Reinforcement for the
latter are said 20 be on their way from

stores to purchase and kept the bundle
wrappers busy. And here the course of
shopping varied, some persons insist
ing on carrying each AID every pur-
chase with them and accumulating
enough bundles to stock big freight

ORDER THIEVES
TO KEEP AWAY
BOOthwyn and Ogden Residents
Will Protect Themselves
at Any Cost

Up in the neighborhood Of Booth
wyn and ogden stations, on the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, the residents
are stirred over the recent robberies
and it would be a dangerous neigh
borhOOd for any strangers to make an
attempt 10 force an entrance TO any
OF the houses. The people are pre-
pared for any depredations and have
their guns loaded and in readiness to
fire.
This state Of siege has been caused
by the robberies at the stations along
the railroad in that vicinity and the
later stealing Of a horse from the sta
BILE at the country residence OF John
G. Frostburg.
Late Wednesday night. Edwin A.
irwin. of Ogden, was passing the home
of William Miller and Edward Ship
pen Van Leer, not far from Boothwyn.
A dog barked at him and some one
I'm the house at a window fired a shot
from revolver. The bullet did not
come near Mr.. irwin, but he drew his
own pistol and returned the fire, di-
recting tho shot into the air. He then
beat hasty retreat towards his resi-
dence.
The bicycle taken by the thieves who
entered Boothwyn station was found
near a bridge about a quarter of a
mile away. 1t belonged TO the agent,
Lewis Mcdonald. He said that the
robbers had taken no express packages,
but had broken into a chewing gum
machine and stolen $3.50 i'm cash. Miss
Peters, the agent at Ogden station,
said that nothing Of value was taken
from It.
Because of the desertion of the BIZ
cycle so near the scene of the robbery
the detectives Of the railroad now sus-
pect youths in the enighborhod Of hav-
ing committed the deeds.
