Says Cooks Picture Is Faxed.

Pittsburg. Dec. 20.-That DR.. Fred
erlck Cook the Brooklyn explorer,
faxed" the picture Of the flag which
he claimed he planted at the north
pole. was charged today by DR.. John
\. Brasher. astronomer of the Uni
versity Of P.ttsburg. Had the flag
been planted at the pole, Brasher de-
clared. it would have cast long shad-
ow. as the sun at that me was at an
elevation of eight degrees Cooks
picture. he charged, showed no shad-
ow.
The explorer explained this by stat
ing that the picture was taken small
ami that many details were lost when
il was enlarged for use as a picture
slide. Speaking of the Brooklyn eX-
plorer, Brasher said: when Cook
lcctured in this city he was asked
what sextant he had used in making
h $ observations and replied: I can
not remember This was a peculiar
form of forgetfulness.'
DR.. Brasher does not believe that
either Cook or Peary will be able to
prove they reached the pole.

An entire o. r. & y. freight train
is piled in a canyon four miles this
side of Meacham as the result of one
of the most spectacular and peculiar
wrecks in the history of the o. r. q
y. railroad. Without an engine the
train of 3S heavily loaded cars left
the Kamela station on the very sumit
of the Blue mountains and started on
a wild dash down the mountain while
the engine was taking on coal at the
bunkers. The telegraph wires are
all down and the few details of the
extraordinary disaster has been OBJ
tained by telephone.
AS near as can be ascertained how
ever there was no one on the train
and no one was killed or injured.
though the first report which reach
ed this city was to the effect that
there were forty Greeks on the train
and that all were killed. 1t is now
believed that this report was false.
The train which was wrecked was
an extra westbound freight. 1t
pulled into Kamela about 10 o'clock
and the engine was Immediately cut
off and run back to one side to the
bunkers to take on coal. Hardly had
the work of loading the coal COM
menced before the train started off
down the mountain. The grade at that
point and all the way i'm this direc-
ton is steep so that the further the
train went the faster it ran until the
runaway cars had attained a speed
which was greater than that of the
fastest express train. They passed
through Kamela with rumble and
roar which was heard for miles and
which struck terror to the hearts of
ali who heard it.

OF Meacham was reached when the

track and started off down the noun
tain side. followed by the other 81 All
are now piled in hopeless confusion
while the tracks are torn up and
wires are down.
Working trains are being hurried
from The Dalles and from the east
end of the line but it will probably be
several hours before the debris is
cleared away. All of last nights
trains with the exception of No. 8
and all of today's trains are the 9TH

reach this city for many hours.

Copenhagen, Dec. 20.-That the
committee investigating the polar
data of DR.. Frederick A Cook will
return report neither favoring nor
averse TO the claims of the explorer,
was the prediction today by a men,
Der of the faculty of the University of
Copenhagen who is cogniZant of the
deliberations of the committee. The
savants of the Danish university who
are serving on the committee are said
to be deeply embarrassed by their
former championship of DR.. Cook,
coupled with their inability to find
anything approaching acceptable
proof of his reports, and are casting
about for a way to retire gracefully
from the controversy. Rumors
have leaked from the committee
room that the data submitted by the
Brooklyn explorer is so incomplete
that Cooks presence before the COM
mittee would not aid it's work. and
he will not be asked to appear.

COLD SPRINGS RESIDENT
Huge Cat Sprang at Man While Rid
ing Along-HorSe Sustained Severe
Scratches-First Time Cougar Has
Been Seen There.

August Zeuske, the well-known re-
tired farmer who returned this morn
ng from a visit to the Cold Springs
section of the county. is authority for
the statement that a cougar attacked
a man near Cold Springs Saturday
evening and that the man escaped
only by the speed of his horse He
gives the name of the near victim as
Walter Mosier and says that he was
a very badly frightened man. even
after he had left the cougar far in
the rear and had arrived safely at the
settlement.
The man 81 said to have escaped
uninqjured, but the horse IS suffer-
ing from several bad scratches VIII ch
he received when the big cat made a
leap at his rider.
AS is well known this section Of
the county is several miles from the
mountains or any timber with the ex-
ception of an occasional dwarfed
jun per. The settlers are therefore
at a loss to account for his presence.
Wild cats have been seen frequently
about the bluffs in that vicinity, but
this is the first time a cougars pres
ence has even been reported 1t is
believed that the exceptionally cold
winter and heavy snow has driven the
animal down from the mountains.

um OF pendleton's first coasting uc-

OF tumble taken by him yesterday
morning he is now lying at the hos
pital with his leg broken just above
the knee
In company with several other boys
the injured lad was coasting on Car
field street yesterday morning. 1t Is
rather a dangerous place to coast for
the reason that The walk is narrow
and is lined with trees and with stakes
which have been set for the grading
OF the street
Several boys were coasting down
the hill one behind the other. when
the cap from the boy in front OF
Poebler flew off and landed on the
walk so that when the latter's sled
runner struck il, the sled swerved to
one side, struck one of the grade
stakes and hurled the boy against
a tree.
DIR. c. j. Smith happened to he
standing near when the accident oc-
cured. He quickly picked the in
jured boy up ana took him home
and then discovering the serious ma
ture of the fracture, had him remov,
ed to the hospital where the injury
could be better attended to. The
doctor says it will require care to
prevent stiffening of the knee poin,
as a result of the injury.

For the second time in the history
of her career OF crime and fraud,
Mary Myrtle Johnson or Mrs. Maud
Baney, is again behind the bars of
the Umatilla county Jail. Acquitted
by Seattle jury, after a deliberation
of six hours. of the charge of defraud-
ing the Seattle General Electric Co.
of $500 by means of fake dam
age suit, Mrs. Johnson was immedi-
ately turned over to Deputy Sheriff
Joe Blakeley OF this city. Her at
torneys at first declared they would
resist her extradition but later chang
ed their minds and in company with
the Pendleton officer she arrived in
this city yesterday noon on the North
ern Pacific train.
Under the name OF Maud Baney
she appeared in Pendleton five years
ago in company with a man sup
posed to be her husband and another
man by the name of Hickenschmidt
She proceeded to pass forged checks
on Lee Teutsch, Joe Tallman and r..
Alexander hut before she could make
her getaway was aprehended and
arrested. While in Jail she feigned an
attack of tuberculosis, had "hemor-
hages." disloCated bones and various
othes alleged Affections until she ap-
peared to be about to pass in her
checks" she was finally permitted
to plead guilty TO a charge of utterins
a forged evidence Of debt and was
paroled during good behavior and on
condition that she did not leave the
state It was for violations Of both
the conditions Of this parole that she
was returned to this city for resent
enclng to the pententlary.
As n great amount of time has ell
apsed since she was paroled there IS
doubt in the minds of many lawyers
as to whether or not she can be Jailed
under the old sentence. She is being
represented here by Judge James a.
Fee and he will make an effort to
show that the local court has no juris-
diction over her at this time
There is another warrant of arrest
out for the woman and IL she Is
turned loose here she will Immediately
be taken in custody and taken to Van
cnuver. Washington. where she will
be tried on the charge of obtaining
$3.50 fraudulenty from the North
ern Pacific company by reason of an
alleged accident which occurred at
Yacolt, last spring.
The trial Of Mrs. Johnson which
ended Saturday in Seattle, attracted
much attention throughout the coun-
try on account of the evidence intro
duced by the state to show that the
woman had defrauded several railroad
companies in tho states of the middle
west by means of fake damage suits
