COOK OFF TO
EUROPE TO TAKE A REST.
Won't Resume Lectures Until
Records Are Confirmed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2T.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook sailed for Europe today on the
steamship Caronia. Although his name
did not appear ON the passenger list a
statement issued from the offices of his
lawyers, shortly after the Caronia
cleared, confirmed anticipatory rumors
of the doctors departure and estab-
lished the fact that his observations
and papers are now well on the way to
Denmark. Evidence of an attempt to
steal his original records, it was said,
warned him to employ reasonable safe
guards in transmitting them.
1t is denied that DIR. Cook is in any
danger of a collapse. He wishes, say
his friends, to be within call of the
Danish commission that will examine
his records, although, in the phraseol-
ogy Of his statement, 1t is admitted that
his naturally robust health has suf-
fered by the great change from a diet
of 'ice and pemmican'' to the food of
civilization.
While awaiting the verdict of the
commission DIR. Cook will rest in Italy,
some spot secure from intrusions where
he can work at his narrative of his
Arctic journey. This book is not to be
published until his claim to the dis
covery of the North Pole a been con-
firmed, mol will he resume his lectures
before the University of Copenhagen
until that date. He remains confident,
he says, that the most competent
scientific body in Europe" will find
hat he reached the pole on April Fl,
1908.

MARS AND HALLEY'S
COMET LECTURE TOPICS.

Professor John A Brashear. of Pitts
burg, delivered a lecture on Our Near
est Neighbor and Our Celestial Visitor
last night in Club Hall, Montclair, UNI
Ger the auspices of the Outlook Club.
The themes of the lecture were the
planet Mars and Halley's comet. The
lecture was illustrated by st~ereopticon.
Mars said Professor Bradshear,
has been studied by astronomers,
probably, more than any other of the
planets on account Of it's nearness to US,
and indeed it has been an object OF
interest to our people from time i'm
memorial. Photography, which is SO
valuable in all other studies of a celes-
tial nature, has proven almost valueless
in planetary research. Mars is only

in the largest telescope in the
world, so you can see how difficult ii
would be to enlarge such an object by

The lecturer then described the canals
and snow-capped mountains, but left
his hearers in doubt as to whether the
planet is inhabitable or not. Regarding
comet, he said that there was
no fear of our earth being destroyed
by the comet.

said. lit will be just as if a gentle

NO CLUE TO PRESIDENT
TAFT'S MISSING PIE.
Wireless Search Is Now Planned
by Makers.

Official Washington Is still p~ieless.
There are. of course, the usual num-
Der OF ordinary pies in the capitol city.
but in making the bold statement that
Washington is pieless We refer to The
Pie, Mrs. Wagner's pie, the great
thirty-six-inch, hundred-pound pie
baked In Newark for President Taft's
Thanksgiving dinner; started toward
Washington with five guards and not
yet sighted.
Friends of the pie and the guardsmen
refuse to believe they are lost. They
believe If the pie was crippled by the
storms which ragged around Thanks
giving time 1t put into some port where
it is now quietly recuperating. just as
soon as the wireless service is resumed
it is believed the pie will be heard
from.
President Taft is quoted as saying:
"The pie wasn't baked. 1t was faxed. q"
We do not believe the President made
such a statement. II he did maenIn-
cent photographs of the pie accom-
panied by a sheaf of affidavits will be
forwarded to him at once.
II anything ~preyentable happened to
the pie 1t Is not believed the guards
men would dare return to their home
as the country Is thoroughly aroused.

VINCENT M. E. CHURCH
TO BE DEDICATED SOON.
New Nutley Edifice Will Be
Opened January 9.

The dedication of the new Vincent
Methodist Episcopal Church, now near
ing completion on Elm street, between
Chestnut and New streets, Nutley, will
take place on January 8, and the serv-
ices will continue until Thursday night
of the same week, a service being held
each night. Prominent clergymen OF
the denomination and speakers of ma
tional reputation from several parts of
the country have been obtained and a
brilliant opening of the new church is
assured.
1t was the original plan of the build
ing committee to move into the new
church on December s, but owing to the
failure of some of the furnishings to ar
rive, the plans were changed n the
new date agreed upon.
No method of disposing of the old
building has been devised and it will
probably be held by the church until 1t
can be sold.

RESTAURANT MAN WINS
POINT In FIRE LOSS SUIT.
Action Has Prelim-
mary Hearing in Court.

Another step vas taken before Chief
Justice Gummere in the Supreme Court
circuit today in the trial of the action
to recover $50. 900 brought by Edward
Stiefel against Charles Bierman, the
outcome of the fire that practically des-
troyed the Anheuser-Busch cafe and
restaurant, at Beaver and Market
streets, in April, 1907. The trial will
come up at the next term of the Circuit
Court, and today's move was in the
form of an application by Otto A. Site
fel. counsel for the plaintiff, to strike
out one of the pleas in the case as friv-
olous. The court allowed the applica-
ton. 1t vas to the effect that Mr..
Stiefel had already received a certain
amount of money from the insurance
company.
The defendant, as owner of the prop
erty, executed a lease to the plaintiff
for a term of ten years, and after the
fire the plaintiff wanted the property
put back in the same condition as when
he leased it, and this he now says the
defendant refused to do.
