Washington, Sept. 1-State Depart ment officials are of the opinion that it is of little consequence 10 the Unit ed States what lands Dr. Cook has dis. covered on his way to the North Pole so far as actual territorial possession Is concerned.
 It is recalled by Department ofi- cials that ever since 1928 American ex- plorers in both the Arctic and Antarc- tic have discovered vast areas of land to which no claims were ever made.
 As to the particular territory which Dr. Cook is said to have discovered the statement was made today that il was quite probable that these lands would be found to be an extension ot the mainiand-of Greenland. and. if so they belong to Denmark. At any rate

Doubtea |. wsshineten.

Washington, Sept. 2-fhe statement from Nashville today to the effect that Secretary of War Dickinson had fntf- mated that the case of Carl J. H. Book CT. Jr., of Georgia, one of seven ca- acts from the United States Military Academy dismissed for hazing Cadet Sutton, might be re-opened. was receiv- ed with some doubt by the army of- ficers in Washington.
 The act of Congress approved March s, 1901, provides in effect that any ca- det found guilty of hazing another ca- det shall be summarfly expelled and that he shall not be eligible for re- fnstatement until two years after the class to which he belonged shall have graduated. It is pointed out, neverthe- less, that if the Secretary of War ia convinced that a material error was made by the board of inquiry in its findings, and that in all probability the cadet was not guilty of hazing, the Secretary may direct another in- vestigation. and that in this event. f the second board finds the cadet inno- cent of the charges. the Secretary may re-appoint the cadet. and also desig- nate the class to which the cadet shalt be assigned.
 Department officials here are of the opinion that the Secretary has no au- thorfty under the law to reinstate a cadet expelled for hazing.
 Nothing on the subject has been heard here from Secretary Dickinson.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. Esd. La
Elite is the latest one OF the local
colony Of ball players who is said to
be withholding hisasignature to con.
tract because OF what he considers an
offer OF salary that Is too small.
The rise OF La Fitte in the game has
been rapid and he is now slated for
work with Detroit next season, that
Is, Of course, provided he comes 20
terms with the powers that be.
Last season La Fitte was with Jer-
sey City In the Eastern league. and
was bought from that club by Detroit
after he had made an excellent record
with the team that Joe Bean managed
When q contract was sent him from
Detroit IL is said the Atlanta pitcher
thought the salary too small and for
that reason declined 10 sign.
la Fitte has not had anything TO say
on the subject and the fact that he had
not signed became known through a
friend.
La Fitte from his early boyhood gave
promise OF being a good pitcher. He
got his start In the game at Narist
college when Joe Bean began TO coach
him. Afterwards he went TO Tech and
there was the mainstay OF the Yellow
jacket club, At that institution the
good work Bean had done in getting
him started was TO be seen. Between
these two there developed a strong
friendship and when Bean went to-
Jersey City he signed La Fitte. II was
only short time before he attracted
attention OF the big league scouts and
then he soon landed with Detroit
La Fitte is not hard man 10 han

considers he is worth will make the
