BAD FOR COOK
Danes Find no Proof OF
Pole Discovery.
FINAL VERDICT THIS MONTH
Committee Who Examined Explorers
Records Will Give Them Fur

FINAL VERDICT THIS MONTH

Copenhagen. Dec. 2O.-There is a
strong probability that the consistory
of the University of Copenhagen will
in a few days announce that the rec
ords submitted to It by DR.. Frederick
A. Cook are insufficient to prove that
he reached the North Pole.
The committee which is examining
the records submitted by Or. Cook
made a preliminary report to the con
sistory in a secret session, ana there
is high authority for the statement
that II announced that It has thus far
failed to discover proof Of Or. Cooks
claim.
An animated discussion followed the
statement of the committee, after
which the consistory directed the com-
mittee to continue its work and make
q complete examination Of all the rec
ords submitted. In the meantime no
public announcement will be made.
The report was presented by Rector
Torn. but its nature was carefully
guarded from others than members OF
the conslstory. The latter are pledged
TO secrecy. 1t was admitted however.
that the work thus far accomplished
provoked an animated debate among
the university officials.
To the newspaper men Rector Torp
said:
THE committees work is not yet
finished. I cannot tell how long it VIII
continue. but | hope that the result
can be made public before New Years.
Both the members of the cOnsistory
and the examining committee have
been forbidden strictly to make public
anything whatever regarding what has
been accomplished thus far by the in
yestigatOrs.
II is learned that several members
Of the university cOnsistory are eI-
cedirgly angry over the rector's pre-
liminary report. one Of them express
ing regret that the university had not
waited until DR.. Cooks claim that he
reached the North Pole had been
proved before honoring him.

HOW THE LEGISLATURE
STANDS ON LIQUOR QUESTION

Eighteen additional members of the
General Assembly have replied during
the past week to the request OF The
Times Dispatch for a statement as to
their position on the liquor question.
Of these, two members of the House,
both Republicans, favor Statewide
prohibition. Four Senators and five
House members are for local option.
Five House members are either IN
doubt or do not wish TO express them
selves at this time. Two say they are
for local option, but would vote to sab
nit a Statewide bill to the people
providing there is a popular demand
for such action, and Judge Nelson, who
was listed in last Sundays poll for
local option, is transferred to this class
as a result of statement of his posi-
ton.
A recapitulation of the vote by par
ties shows the following result:
Democrats-Fo local option, 81; all
others, IS.
Republicans-Fo local option, 5; for
Statewide prohibition, 6.
Separated as to both parties and
houses, the showing is as follows:
SENATE.
. Democrats-Fo local option, 10; for
Statewide prohibition, 2.
Republicans-For local option, 2; for
Statewide prohibition, 2.
Total Senators voting, 81; total not
voting, 10. Democrats not voting, II;
Republicans not voting, z.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Democrats-Fo local option, 40; for
Statewide prohibition, 6; non-commit-
tai or doubtful, Z; for local option, but
would vote to submit, 3.
Republicans-For local option, 3; for
Statewide prohibition, 4.
Total members voting, Y; total not
voting, %. Democrats not voting, q;
Republicans not voting, 6.
The result of the weeks replies
seems to indicate that no bill tending
toward Statewide prohibition will be
enacted at the coming session of the
Legislature.
While the number of those doubtful
or non-committal is increased, and
while AZ of the 140 members have not
replied, there is no reason to suppose
that were their views known, there
would be any change in the situation.
The result as stated by the Times
Dispatch now stands:

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1909.

In reference to the objection on
the part of some sort of a so-called
patriotic association of the State OF
Michigan protesting against the ac-
ceptance by Congress of the statue
of Gen. Robt. E. Lee. to be placed
in Statuary Hall, The Washington
Post very aptly remarks:
And in this connectin may we softly
say that there is no provision IN the
Morrill, act that Virginia shall ask the
approval of Michigan of any contrlbu-
tion she shall make 10 the national Val
halla, and we are sure that Virginia
will not open her lips when Kansas
shall send the statute of John Brown,
who was hanged in Virginia, beside that
of Robert Z. Lee for impartial history
to Judge between them.
The answer of the Texan to Gen.
Sheridan applies.
1t is really none of the business OF
any one State or set of States, whom
any other State may choose to honor.
under the provisions of this act.
The idea is for each State to place
the statues of two of her illustrlous
sons from that States view point,
and not from the view point of any
other State. AS The Post very well
says, if Kansas sends the statue of
John Brown no other State could
reasonably protest, or if Oklahoma
were to send one of an Indian Chief.
the business would be her own. She
could only suffer from having her
hero compared with the heroes from
other States. Virginia is willing to
have Robert f. Lee compared with
any of the favored sons of any State
in the Union, and she does not fear
loss of prestige in anything that
goes to make up lofty character and
nobility of manhood as a result Of
that comparison.
