DIR. COOK MAKES
| A CONFESSION
Explorer Admits That he
Doesn't Know Whether He
Reached The Pole
HALF CRAZED BY
MONTHS OF ISOLATION

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook has confessed. This an
nouncement was made to-day by Ben
iamin Hampton, editor of the maga-
zine that paid $4,000 for Commander
Peary's story Of his trip to the North
Pole.
In his own story" the first install.
ment of which appears in the January
number of the magazine, DR.. Cook
frankly admits that he does not know
whether he reached the North Pole.
In the opening article. dealing par
ticularly with the psychology of hia
adventure, the man who has been al
ternately lauded as the greatest ex-
plorer and denounced as the most COLI
ossal fake of the age, declares:
did / get TO the North Pole7 Per-
haps I made a mistake in thinking
did. Perhaps / did not make a mis-
take. After mature thought / confesH
that ! do not know absolutely whether
| reached the pole This may come as
an amazing statement, but / am will
ing TO startle the world II by so do
ing, ! can get an opportunity to pre-
sent my case.
by my case I mean not my case
as a geographical discoverer, but my
case as q man. Much as the attain
ment of the North Pole once meant to
me- the sympathy and confidence OF
my fellow men mean more.
Fully. freely. and frankly / shall
tell everything -and leave the decision
with you. If. after reading my story
you say Cook Us sincere and honest:
half crazed by months OF isolation and
hunger he believed that he reached
the pole; he Is not a faker,' then
shall be satisfied
Tells His Life Story.
Dr. Cook tells his life story and pic
lures the overpowering ambition for
exploration that heset him until TN
/ ally Il eliminated In his effort 10
/ reach the pole. He declares that at
the time he convinced himself that he
had discovered the pole he WAS half
| mad. He spent two and one half years
In his quest and during that period
endured hunger and privation that, he
says, would unbalance any mind.
Cook declares that 1t would be i'm
possible for any man to demonstrat
that he had been 10 the North Pole
He characterizes the far north as q
region OF insanity where one cannot
believe the evidences gathered BY ones
own eye"
He says that he had always looked
upon the discovery Of the pole as an
achievement for his own personal
satisfaction-fo the satisfaction Of a.
craving and desire that was greater
than any other factor in his life. When
he found how tremendous a sensation
statement that he had attained the
pole created, he was overcome with
/ bewilderment
His study of his own psychology Is
described by those who have read his
narrative. as wonderful piece of de-
scriptive writing.
J One of the most remarkably facts
brought out by his story Is that in
all the time he had been away. with
the shrewdest newspaper men In the
world on his trail, with newspapers
Offering sums that ranged in tho
thousands for the slightest definite
news Of his whereabouts, he has never
worn a disguise and has never taken
any unusual precaution to conceal his
identity
Part of the time his wife has been

THIEVES BREAK
INTO POSTOFFICE
Emit. Both FELTON, and Ogden
Offices, But Get
Little

Thieves entered the FELTON, station
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company and the postotiice at Ogden
station late Monday night, and while
falling to obtain much booty at the
FELTON, station, they secured a quantity
of stamps and postal cards from the
Ogden station. At the former place
the burglars evidently tried to open
the safe and were frightened away be-
fore they had time 10 accomplish the
act.
The robbery at the Ogden station
has been reported to the government
by Postmaster George P. Worrell, and
a postal inspector will be assigned to
make an investigation. The detectives
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company have the station robbery IN
hand and have located several clues
TO work on. A feature in connection
with the two robberies is that about
this time of the year in the past few
years the two stations have been Wis
tied by burglars, possibly looking for
Christmas money.

HOT CAMPAIGN
ON in ENGLAND
Has Started With a Rush,
and Outbreaks in Many
Cities
FORM OF GOVERNMENT
RESTS On THE OUTCOME

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON. Nov. 30.-The coming
general elections, with the mOmen-
tous questions they must have de-
cided. have developed widespread
violence throughout all of England
and Ireland. Partisans, realizing the
serious import of the impending bal
loting seem unable to control their
passions.
The call for the general election
was met with an unprecedented
apathy i'm all England. Then, when
the people realized that the whole
form of English government rested
on the outcome, interest was awak-
ened to the fever pitch.
Scores of meetings were last night
broken up with violent scenes and
tO-day's campaigning is almost dan
gerous TO the parliamentary candi-
dates. Scores of spell binders have
been mobbed in various parts of Eng
land while many candidates them-
selves have been egged. These out
breaks are not limited to any sec
ton, but are occurring everywhere.
Home Secretary Winston Churchill
who is taking a most active part in
the Liberal campaign, has been made
the special target for personal abuse
and has been attacked a number of
times. The feeling against the young
secretary is so bitter that when he
smoke in Sheffield to-day 200 special
settlement had to form a square
ABOUT him and protect him from his
political enemies.
The situation in Ireland is even
more serious, so far as physical vio-
lence is concerned. There has not
been political meeting at which
the Redmandites and the O'Brien-
ties have not clashed, many times
with serious results.

WILMINGTON LEGISLATORS
IN HARMONY CONFERENCE

conference, but the members were
unanimous in their opinion that there
are many legislative matters affecting
Wilmington, which are free or should
be free from partisanship that could
be agreed on by the Wilmington dele
cation harmoniously prior TO the con-
vening of the Legislature or early in
that session. Generally, the other
members of the Assembly follow out
the attitude of the Wilmington mem
bers regarding legislation affecting
Wilmington.
Charter Talk Later.
There was some general talk about
new charte- for Wilmington. but
that subject was not gone into to any
extent. IL will be considered at a con-
ference in the near future, as will be
several other important subjects One
is that of Strengthening out the tangle
affecting the legality of Wilmington
government because the law under
which the city election was held IN
June 1909. has been declared invalid
by the State court. II viii be necessary
for the next Legislature to take action
to validate the acts of the p resent mu-
new election law for Wilmington. As
the situation now is, Wilmington's
credit is impaired in the financial mar
ket and new issues of the city's bonds
will not be bought by brokers' or
financial houses because Of the cloud
upon the legality of the present city
government.
Thus far no conference of the Re-
publican members of the next Legis-
lature has been held to talk over the
details of organization, the selection
of a speake- for the House and presi-
dent pro TEN for the Senate, clerks, at
torneys and other officers. It was said
to-day that such a conference will he
held sometime early in December
The name Of Representative Alfred B.
Moore of this city, is being mention
ed for Speaker of the House.

TUCSON STAR BL|NKS
 ITS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Pays a Pleasing Testimonial to Work
 of Phoenix Board of Trade.

The Tucson Star in a recent issue throws a very charming and well de- served bouquet at the Phoenix board of trade and the Phoenix people who support it and incidentally admits that Phoenix is moving along just as it should be doing. The article is re- printed for the benefit of those who have been faint hearted in the work of the board and those who think that the constant and persistent labor of years is not taken notice of. It is only hoped that every town in Ari- zona will build up as fine a working body as the Phoenix board. and in proportion to its size there is no req son why any town should not do so for there is no section of Arizona that does not possess something worth be- ing proud of.
 Whatever may be thought of the particular plan now being followed by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce to advertise that town and the Salt River valley, it must be admitted that it is doing the work. Ten years ago Tucson had the larger population, but undeniably today the difference is equally large in favor of our northern neighbor. Where Tucson receives one addition from the outside world the Salt River valley receives ten. This difference is not warranted in the makeup and resources of the two towns. But Phoenix realizes the inn portance of making a persistent effort to secure new population, new indus tries, and to blare abroad its advan- tages and resources"

Familiar Face Seen
 With Buffalo Bill

Those who took in the Buffalo Bill performance in Phoenix Monday saw a familiar face in the arena with the Mexican ropers. One of the cleverest of the bunch proved to be Tiger Jack" whose real name is J. NJ. Ciemente but who is better known by the former. Tiger Jack did many stunts with a rope and was assisted by a young lady on horseback, who, 1t was afterward learned was his wife. In conversation with Tiger Jack after the show it was learned that he has full charge of the Mex ican ropers, the party having been brought up from the City of Mexico by him. He has also a. similar troupe with the Miller Bros. 101 Ranch Wild West Show. He and his wife divide their time between the two shows.
 Tiger Jack usually spends his win ters in Tempe and says he expects to follow that same custom this year if he can make suitable arrangements. The season for the Buffalo Bill show is fast coming to a close and the az will only be on tour now couple of weeks longer.

WORLDS LARGEST CHEESE.

When one considers that it requires about ten pounds, or five quarts of milk, to make one pound of cheese, one may gain some idea of the enor- nous quantity of milk required to make a cheese weighing over two tons. Such a cheese has been made at Appleton. Wis, for the National dairy show, to be held in Chicago October 20-29 The cheese is so big that the maker built it upon a flat car, using great hoop of galvan- ized iron fifteen feet in circumference It required over twenty tons of milk to furnish the curd for the cheese, which is four feet and eight inches in diameter and three feet nine and one-half inches in height. It is of fine quality and is believed to be the largest cheese ever made.
