COOK ENROUTE TO ETAH
Reported on Bradley's Yacht in Quest of Proof of North Pole
 Discovery.

London, Sept. 16.-Dr. Frederick Cook, the discredited arctic explorer, is now en route to Etah, on the north west coast of Greenland, to recover records which he alleges he left there on his return from the North Pole, according to the Copenhagen core spondent of the Central News.
 Cook is aboard the yacht Beauty belonging to John R. Bradley, who backed Cook in his last polar hunt. News of Cook was brought to Copen- hagen by a ship that sighted the Beauty and learned of the doctors mission from the explorer himself.
 Cook is after records, which, he says, will yet prove his claim to being the discoverer of the North Pole, a claim that first brought him the plaud- it's of the world and then the world s derision.
 The vessel bringing the news of Cook also brought letters from off. cials of Greenland, stating that all the Eskimos who were associated with Cook on his last polar trip are con- vinced that he reached the pole.

FRAUD REACHES EUROPE
SWiNDLED BANKS WILL TRY TO HOLD OPERATORS BROTHER.
Total PecuIations May Reach Half MilIion-Lax Bank Methods Pre-
 vailed in New York.

New York, Sept. 16-An interna- tional aspect was added to the bank fraud case of Adolph Rothbarth, the hop importer, who is in the Tombs, charged with duping the Mercantile National bank and the Liberty Nation al bank out of $133,000 in the attempt to make $1,000,000 in Wall street, when lawyers for the banks in ques- tion began work to hold foreign con- panies responsible for Rothbarth's peculations.
 Indications are that Rothbarth's deals may aggregate $500,000 or more.
 The Rothbarth firm of hop dealers is divided in two branches, Adolph, through power of attorney, controlling the American branch, and his broth CTS the foreign section. Because ot Adolph's power of attorney from his rbothers, lawyers believe that the European people can be held respon- sible for all of his vast financial obli- gations.
 Rothbarth is accused of obtaining $5S,000 from the Mercantile bank and $75,000 from the Liberty National bank. He has been arraigned upon but one charge-that of securing $10,- 900 on September 1, 1908, from the Mercantile National bank with fraud ulent securities.
 r Rothbarth hopes to be sent to pris- on. He begged for the longest term that the courts could give him.
 The Rothbarth case again brings to view the ease with which large sums of money can be secured from emi- nent finncial institutions. The testi- mony shows that Rothbarth's claims, gated. His statements that his branch of the business was collossally rich in assets was not questioned.

 The itinerary of the prince and his suite after arrival in the United States has not been definitely deter mined. The details will largely be left to the official representatives of President Taft and the navy depart ment, who will have general charge or the party's entertainment.

 AGREEMENT.
FEARS SCANDALS EFFECT
intention Is to Remain in the United States Until Her Demands Are Satisfied by Her Husbands
 Family.

New York. Sept. 16.-Mme. Cava- lieri is coming to this country. The singer is expected to appear in New York the week after next, and from that moment, if she has her way and is not advised differently by her attor neys, there will be something doing every minute.
 Fears for Operatic Career
 Alarmed at the possible effect the expose of her pre-nuptial negotiations with Robert w. Chanler may have on her operatic career in this country, she is coming to make fight. In the first place, she will try to convince the people of America that she did not dupe Sheriff Bob," and that she had never intended to dupe him, but was herself the victim of legal technicali- ties and of the stubbornness of the trustees of the Chanler funds, who would not pay over to her her hus- bands money even when he said she could have it.
 Cavalieri is hurriedly making ar engagements to come here and remain
  ished. Her friends say she is going to stay here until she gets the money she thinks is due her. Chanlers friends say that in that case she will bid Paris eternal farewell
 Diva's Brother States the Case.
 Oreste Cavalieri, brother of the opera singer, thus defended her in a statement:
 The time has come to speak right out in meeting. as you say here in America. and that's what I'm going to do. Personally I do not believe that my sisters husband has any but the noblest feelings toward his wife Yet l knew from the beginning of Chan ler's wooing the opposition of his en- tire family, and particularly that of his sister. Mrs. Richard Aldrich. was manifest at every turn.
 Mrs. Aldrich led her brothers and sisters in their powerful persuasion and extended arguments to convince MT. Chanler that he must not marry Lima, and that they thoroughly dis approved of the match. Yet Mir. Chan Ter loved my sister and persisted in his wooing. It was for him to make up his mind. He knew exactly upon what terms my sister would marry him, and, in fact, he eagerly offered anything to win her hand"
 Mrs Richard Aldrich does not deny that she opposed the union. In fact she is no more in love with the ex sheriff's wife now than she was before the singer annexed the Chanler name She does not refer to Mme. Cavalier Chanlar by name, but when discussing her calls her that person."
