NAME BOARD TO FIX INTEREST
6eItrami Treasurer Sends DELAYED
Payment To State.

st. PAULA request was made by
Attorney General George T. Simpson
upon Gov. A. o. Eberhart for a board
to decide whether Treasurer G. H.
French, of Beltrami county, shall pay
interest on a payment of $1,449.02
which was delayed in transmission
from July II until this week.
The county officials sold some state
timber land last summer, authorized
according to law by the state auditor.
but the proceeds were not transferred
from the county treasury to the state.
This week the treasurer sent the
money without interest. Under the
law the state is to be paid interest.
and as it was not the connty's fault
that the money was delayed, it could
not be taken out of the county treas
ury, but should be paid by the treas
urer from his personal funds. The
treasurer. however, says that the only
reason he did not send the money was
that John Wilmann, recently deposed
county auditor, would not sign the
warrant.
In view of this the attorney general
does not believe it just for the treas
urer to pay the interest, and in such
circumstances the law provides that
the governor may appoint board
composed of the attorney general and
two members of the supreme bench
to determine whether the interest
should be paid.

gress at Chicago.
Everybody down there is looking
for land, and many inquired about

Impression that we cannot raise any

They knew that we could raise wheat

that we can raise any corn.
"The government crop reports for
the present year show that Minnesota
was the second state in the Union in
its yield per acre of corn. But not

report. A corn exposition would show
the world what we can do in this line.

present high cost of living. There
were also thousands of farmers from
all parts Of Illinois and other states
who were looking for land in Mime

for investment and others for their

Great Apptause-Many "Taft Pol

BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.


Washington, DEC. Cat noon to-day
Vice President Sherman in the Senate
and Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in the
House called to order the Sixty-f1rst
congress of the United States for it's
first regular session. Really the first
session of this congress was the extra.
ordinary one of last spring called to
revise the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings Of the first day In the cap.
1tol because at the beginning Of the
extraordinary session in March last
the speaker Of the House was elected.
Moreover, before the extraordinary
session was ended, Speaker Cannon
appointed all the committees which
are to take legislation under consid.
GRAFTON for the next two winters. The
appointment of the committees ended
the campaign on the part of the mem.
bers for choice chairmanships and, il
the chairmanships were not forthcom.
Ing, for seats in the more important
subsidiary bodies of the House.
Ready for Work At Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and 80 it
Is that, so far as committee work is con.
cerned, the House not only is ready
to proceed at once to consider legisla.
tion, but most of the members have
brought themselves into a frame Of
mind to do what they are called upon
to do without regard to their past feel
ings Of disappointment and perhaps,
anger.
AS II always the case on the open.
Ing day OF congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently well to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
|: The galleries of both House and
Senate were jammed with people. All
classes Of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors.
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and In the Senate as we'll. was filled
to it's fullest capacity with ambassa.
dors, ministers, attaches and the la.
dies Of the different legations. Mem.
bers of the families of the president
and of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries, and the cabinet and judici.
ary and army and navy circles were
well represented.
By a rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as a tribute ia
the memory to some deceased mem.

Scientists Discredit Loose's Story.


Copenhagen, Den.-Dr. Torp, rec
tor of the University of Copenhagen,
said that the charges published in the

A. Cook are based on pure fiction.
Nevertheless, he added, he would ac-
cept the offer to examine the docu-
ments prepared by Loose and Dunkle
which the Times has agreed to send
to Copenhagen.
The committee which will examine
DR.. Cooks records is composed of the
following: President Prof. Ellis Strom-
gren, director of the astronomical OBJ
servatory; DR.. C. H. Pechule, astrono-
mer attached to the observatory; Gus
tave Holm, explorer; Prof. A. B. Yen

personal lawyer, Henry Wellington
Wack, has severed relations with his
client. Mr.. Wack refuses to confirm
or deny his withdrawal, but it can be
affirmed on competent authority that,
after consultation with his partners.
Mr.. Wack wrote DR.. Cook so long ago
as Nov. 30, that he must beg him to
seek legal advice elsewhere.
L have not the remotest idea," said
Mr.. Wach, where DR.. Cook is keep
ing himself or why he persists in
seclusion when his presence is vital
to his own interests and his friends.
read that he is in Brooklyn, in a sani.
tarlum in Maine, in Philadelphia
asylum. but personally, 1 am inclined
to the belief that he is abroad.
"One thing, however, is certain
there is agreement for the first time
among those who have always be-
lieved that DR.. Cook discovered the
North pole, those who have never be.
Heved and those who waited to be in
formed on disintertested authority.
Partisans and skeptics alike now con-
cede certain cardinal facts which ad-
NIT of no argument, namely: DR..
Cook has sent his records to the Uni.
versity of Copenhagen for the inspec.
ton of commission. Two men-one
broker, who says he acted as a 20.
between, and one a skilled navigator
have sworn that they supplied the
doctor with complete set of fabricat-
ed observations, covering his trip
northward, step by step to the pole, in
agreement with his narrative as orig
inally published. These sworn state.
ments carry within themselves their
own proof or disproof.
THAT is to say, if the papers now in
the hands of the University of Copen-
hagen contain any considerable pOr-
tion of the boreal observation which
Capt. August Loose says he worked
out by the reverse route no farther
north than the Gramatan Inn, in
Bronxville, N. Y, the deduction is that
DR.. Cook felt no confidence in the ade.
quacy of his own proofs.
IF, on the contrary, the Copenhagen
records show that DR.. Cook made no
evident use of the calculations Captain
Loose says he supplied, it will be fair
to assume. that he accepted them only
as checks on his own data. The in.
quiry will then revert to it's first sta.
tus: Are the original observations of
DR.. Cook sufficient"
Others of DR.. Cooks friends grant.
ed that Captain Loose consulted freely
with him and even occupied rooms ad-
Joining his at the Gramatan inn.
Whether this propinquity served as an
opportunity for cooperation merely or
for collusion, is a point on which not
even Captain Loose cared to pro-
nounce positively. The captain, how
ever, went freely into his own motives.
Il went to DR.. Cook" he said,
thinking 1 could help him. A short
talk convinced me he was ignorant of
some of the essentials of navigation.
My task enlarged, but that was no
question for me to debate so long as l
was paid. Now that the payments
have ceased and the doctor has disap.
peared, speak out.
