T OR COOK
ShriII Shrieks of Ships
in New York Harbor
Greet Explorer.

New York. Sept. 21.-Thc scene as
DR. Cook was welcomed by his fam
ily and friends was one long to be
! remembered. From o'clock this
morning the explorer intermittently
paced the saloon deck placing his ma
rine glasses 10 his eyes. and watching
every tug or other vessel which ap-
preached TO sec whether he could OBJ
serve his wife on the deck Of the
craft. At one moment he thought he
saw his wife on a small tug; he rails
ed his hat and waved it. Then he
dashed down 10 the waist of the ship,
where a temporary companionway had
been rigged TO permit him TO descend
to the tug bearing his wife. This,
however, was false alarm. and the
explorer returned to the upper deck
At last the right tug was dimly out
lined through the mist, and DR. Cook,
springing to the companionway, leap
ed across the intervening stretch of
water TO the tug and dashed up TO the
hurricane deck, where his wife was
waiting for him waving the stars and
stripes. The returned explorer took
her in his arms without single word
passing between them. DR.. Cook broke
the silence: where are the chill
dren?' he asked. His wife did not
reply, but led him to the children a
few steps away. He kissed his eld-
est daughter then sized the younger
one In his arms and raised her TO his
shoulder At this the spectators broke
out into cheers. Bravo. Cook Wei
come home" Were proud of YOU
rang out across the water.
Then the words. For He's a Jolly
Good Fellow" were sung in chorus by
Dr. Cooks fellow passengers on the
Oscar II as the tug left the ships side,
The Oscar il Immediately weighed
anchor and continued up the river to
her dock and DR. Cook was transfer
red TO the Grand Republic. which was
lying a quarter OF mile away. Gin
ematogaphs and cameras were turn
ed on him from every point as he
went on board and passed Through
guard OF honor of the Forty-seventh
regiment TO receive the greeting OF
the reception committee.
On board the Grand Republic, DR.,
Cook WAS greeted by the official re-
ception committee and wreath of
roses was placed about his neck.Stand-
Ing on the upper deck of the steamer,
Dr. Cook addressed the committee and
his friends briefly.
The trip was a triumphal one. The
Grand Republic was greeted with the
shrlll shrieks of hundreds OF craft,
small and large DR.. Cook stood on
the upper deck.
The steamer after reaching the foot
of West l30th street went up the
river as far as Spuyten Duyvil and
then retraced It's course to the bat
terry and proceeded up tho East River
10 the foot OF South Fifth street in
Brooklyn, where Dr. Cook landed

for the latter he showed special apti-

that the assessor of that county WI
be due for a accounting. which may

The assessors have claimed that the

that the governor can dismiss any as

the Elpaso county assessor is the one
