Discoverer Banquetted in New
York and Tells Brilliant
Audience Of Exploits
ENTERS BANQBET HALL
ON SCHLEY'S Arm
Address Not Technical, and Speaker
Reiterates That He Discovered the
North Pole April 81, 1908.

NEW YORK, September "a
Cheered by thousand men and wo-
men as he entered the banquet hall on
the arm of Rear Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley, U. S. N. (retired), DR..
Frederick A. Cook told his story to-
night before the most brilliant audi
ence that he has addressed since he
left Denmark. The banquet was given
by the Arctic Club of America, Of
which DR.. Cook is a member in rccog-
milton of his last polar venture. which
eliminated in his announcement that
he had reached the North Pole. While
there was no official representative
from either state or nation, the assem-
blage was cosmopolitan and enthus-
iastic. Crowded in the great ballroom
of the Waldorf-Astoria, they toasted
the Brooklyn explorer and listened at
tentively to his recital in the form of
an after-dinner address.
Among those at the tables were ex-
plorers, some of whom knew the dam
gers and suffering of the arctic zone
as well as DR.. Cook himself Men of
science were there also, but the ex-
plorer addressed himself primarily to
the great majority Of his hearers,
whose interest in polar conquests has
but lately been aroused by the clamor
of the world over the two reported
achievements.
The address was not technical. He
expressed thanks for the honor ac-
corded him, reviewed the history or
mans endeavor to attain the pole,
pad tribute to the loyalty of John r.
Bradley, the man whose money en-
abled him to undertake the expedition.
answered briefly a few charges that
have been made against him, and re-
iterated that he unfurled the flag at
the pole on April 81, 1908. Comman.
der Peary's name he did not mention
except at the end of his speech, when
he said:
There is glory enough for ALL"
Then it was that Pearys name min
gled with those of other explorers to
whom he had referred with reverence.
DR.. Cook appealed to his hearers
to accept his narrative of his journey
to the pole as he had seen fit to give
it so far.
1T is complete as the preliminary
reports of any previous explorer he
said. Heretofore such evidence has
been taken with faith and the com.
plete record was not expected to an.

is not taken by the experts, however
to indicate that he is losing ground
but is ascribed to the fact that there
Is now no cotton within a quar-.
ter of mile of the old field, and there
was nothing upon which they could
feed, since they eat absolutely nothing
that has yet been offered them besides
cotton bolls and sweetened water, and
get no nourishment from the latter.
Besides, there was no sweetened wa
ter in the field mentioned. These
were evidently starved out.

INSECT KILLERS
TO Be PRESERVED
Agitation Begun For National Institu-
ton With Object of Preserva-
ton of Birds.

NEW YORK, September 24.-To
| save the natural wealth of America by
educating its people regarding the val
lie of wild bird life, as the only sure
| check to the insect pests that are rap
idly devasting the crops and woods of
the country, is the object of a move
lnent that was set on foot in this city
| Wednesday. Headed by the National AS
ISOLATION of Audubon Societies, cam
paign is to be begun in every section
of the continent which it is intended
shall result in the establishment of 81
national university devoted to the CON
servatiop of American resources
through the preservation of the pest
, killing birds. Suitable endowments
'sss an educational institution Of such
vital Importance is to be at once sought
by officers of the association
To greatly extend the educational
work that is now being pushed with
all the funds at the command of the
Audubon workers is designed to be the
main aim of the proposed national
university. Skilled ornithologists are
to be employed in Investigating, com
piling and analysing scientific data
showing the capacity of various spe-
cies Of wild birds for destroying such
pests as the Gypsy Moth, the Boil
Weevil and the Brown Tail Moth
whose ravages have been proven to
cost the country one billion dollars in
its crop yield each year. Men and
women lecturers, aimed at the pro
posed university, will be stationed in
every section of the continent to pre-
sent to the people proofs of their
enormous loss in agricultural wealth
due solely to lack of knowledge of the
work done by the feathered insect
eaters, that nature intended to check
crop plaques.
On the children of the land, who
will face this most pressing problem
when bird destruction has brought on
an even more appalling spread of cron
killing insects, the Audubon officials
declare they must base their hopes for

FARMERS SHOULD
BE VERY GRATEFUL
Mississippi Legislator Who Has Been
Visiting the West Says Texas Crops
Are Fifty Per Cent. Short-People
Are Coming Back Home.
BIZ Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss, September "a
According to Hon. A. L. Yates, mem
Der of the legislature from Marion
county, who has been on business
trip through Texas, the farmers OF
Mississippi ought to shake hands with
themselves over the fact that they
have much better crop prospects than
those prevailing in the Lone Star
state.
THE folks here at home who are
talking about poor crops ougth to
visit Texas, and they would feel bet
ter over it," says Mr. Yates. "The crop
in that state is about fifty per cent
less than last year, and the yield OF
1908 was nothing to brag about. Hun
dreds of people who moved to Texas
few years ago, attracted by the al.
Turing reports of exceptional oppor-
tunities to get rich quick, are getting
back to their former homes. On a
train the other day met a gentleman
who was carrying his family back to
South Mississippi and he said that
when he reached the old home state
once more he intended to stay there.
No Rain in 18 Months.
In Dallas they told me that there
had not been a good rain in that vi.
entity for eighteen months, and | am
ready to believe the story recently
told that there are bullfrogs in Texas
nearly a year old that have not yet
learned to swim. Dallas, l was in
formed, has only about a ten-day
water supply in sight, and how to pro-
vide the city with water when that is
exhausted is a perplexing problem. |
noticed in a police court report that a
man was fined $25 for washing off his
buggy with water, and ordinances
have recently been enacted prohibit
ing the sprinkling of streets.
Taking her all in all, old Mississip
pi is the best state I know anything
about, and man has to get away from
home once in while in order to thor.
oughly appreciate it."

so DAYS FOR KEEPING
DISORDERLY HOUSE

In the city court this morning Judge
Davis imposed a 30-day Jail sentence
upon Mrs. E. A. Tyson, charged with
conducting a disorderly house. Many
complaints had been made against the
woman and she had been convicted
once before, but sentence was sus-
pended pending good behavior.
After hearing the evidence, Judge
Davis imposed the jail sentence but
said he would suspend it If Mrs. Ty-
son would leave the city. She has
three small children, which doubtless
caused the Judge to be more lenient
than he would otherwise have been.

and by his conversation shaped his
thoughts and principles. He detern-
med to become a lawyer, and entered
the office of the attorney general Of
Virginia, where he remained one year
before he obtained license from the
judge of the court of appeals to prac-
tice his profession. His parents moving
to Kentucky, he followed and settled i'm
Lexington, practicing law and becom-
Ing favorite with the best people.
Such was his skill as a pleader that it
was said that no murderer of whatever
degree of guilt, who was defended by
him, was ever sentenced to be hung.
For while he was attorney for the
commonwealth. He married Lucretia
Hart in April, 1889, and was subse-
quently blessed with eleven children.
Becoming celebrated for his eloquence
he grew active in politics. His popu-
lar1ty was at first affected by his ad-
vocacy of the emancipation of slaves.
a policy which he stood by throughout
his lifetime, but his active participa-
ton in the campaign against the alien
and seditioR laws restored his popular
1ty and he was elected to the Ken
was appointed senator to fill an unex-
pired term and also again in 1S09-1O
under same circumstances. At the ex-
p1ration of his term he was elected
congressman and was elected speaker
by large majority, though he was not
prohibited from taking part in debates.
He resigned from congress in 1913, to
become member of the commission
appointed by the president to negoti-
ate peace with Great Britain He re-
turned to America and was elected
to congress again, declining the posts
of minister to Russia and secretary of
war He was returned to congress
several times and served fourteen
years as speaker, and not one of his
decisions was ever reversed. He was
elected speaker one year by a vote
of 140 to Z. His eloquence made him
leader in all imp ortant debates and he
was constantly before the public's eye
In 1929 he was for the presidency by
large majority, but was made secre
tary of war by the president elected.
In 1881 he was elected to the United
States senate He ran for the presi
dency in 1888 and was defeated by
Gen. Jackson. His tariff speeches at
tracted much attention, he was a
strong protectionist. His clash with
Calhoun on the slavery question has
gone into history. Clay was an abol-
itiOnist, Calhoun the ablest champion
of slavery. He was defeated in his
third race for the presidency in 1874.
Such was his popularity that in his
sixty seventh year he was forced to
offer his mansion for sale to meet GER
tain financial obligations, money
poured in upon him from anonymous
donors more than sufficient to end his
embarrassments. In 1S4S he was again
elected to the senate. He became an
active advocate of the anti slavery
compromise and the Mason Dixon line
and declared against secession from
the union. Shortly before his death, on
June 20, 1852 Mr.. Clay said: IF any
one. desire to know the leading para
mount object of my public life, the
preservation of the union will furnish
him with the key
