Doctor Cook is a resident Of Brooklyn,
IL. Y. For years he has given his at
tention to Arctic explorations, and in
1891 % was surgeon Of the Peary Arctic
expedition, and in ls07.09, surgeon Of
the Belgian Antarctic expedition.
He has received numerous decorations
from the geographical societies Of Eu-
rope for his research and writings in
the polar field
Doctor Cook started On his present
expedition in the summer Of 1907, sailing
from North Sydney, G. B., on board the
schooner John r. Bradley with Captain
Moses Bradley as sailing master The
party was reinforced with sledges, dogs
and Arctic equipment at Etah Green.
land, whence they sailed March 3, 1908.
Doctor Cooks plan was to set aside all
tradition BY making the dash to the pole
during the winter months, when the ele.
ments are considered least advantageous
for an advance northward.
Nothing has been heard from Doctor
Cook for the last IS months. A special
committee Of the Arctic club had, how
ever. made careful calculations upon his
probable whereabouts and had reached
the conclusion that Doctor Cook had
discovered the pole
It was Doctor Cooks plan to make
bis base Of supplies or permanent camp
at Annatoak, in Greeland, about 20 miles
north Of Etah This would place him
about 1000 miles from the North Pole

dated March II. 1908, when he was near
Cape Thomas Hubbard
He then reported that his health was
excellent, that he had picked up q large
party Of Esquimaux Of superior intelli,
genee and that his prospects for success
were bright He intended to push On

It's d Big Political Joke-Former Census
Director Cause Of First Big Fight
in the Taft Adminis-
tration.

Beverly, Mass, Sept 2.--one Of the
most exquisite jokes Of current political
history became known here Yesterday
when it was learned that S. n. D. North
had been suggested By his friends as
man who should be appointed by
the president to the foreign tariff board
North IS the man around whom there
centered the first big fight after Mr. Tafs
went into the White House. He was
director Of the census, and Secretary Of
Commerce and Labor Nagel determined
TO get rid Of him. North's friends, Of
whom there were many, turned hand
springs and performed all sorts Of polti.
cal athletics to have him retained, but
he walked the plank, giving way to J..
Dana Durand
The suggestion that the former dirso-
tor be appointed to anything by this
administration has been put in the dark
est pigeonhole in Beverly.
J. C. Cobb Of Boston. who was prom.
iuent in Washington in the extra ses-
sion Of Congress in behalf Of the tariff
commission, now known as the foreign
tariff board, had an appointment TO see
the president yesterday afternoon. He
Is regarded as a candidate for the body
which he helped to create, but the pre-
vaiIing impression that Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Reynolds also a
Massachusetts man, is booked for the
board. would seem to preclude the selee-
ton Of Mr.. Cobb
Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster gen
eraI. also saw the president yesterday
afternoon. He arrived in Boston yester-
day morning and came to Beverly at
