DR.. COOK REPORTED
BROKEN IN HEALTH
Explorer Expected to Arrive in New
York Today and Will Pass
Rest of His Days
in Quiet

BELLINGHAM, Wash, March 2S-
DR.. William II. Axtell, personal friend
of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, has received
a letter from Mrs. Cook, written in Val
paraiso. Chile, in which she says the
doctor is broken in health, without
funds and unable to continue his fight
to establish his claim to the discovery
Of the pole. DIR. Axtell said today:
Mrs. Cook tells me in her letter that
DIR. Cook made considerable money out
of his trip when he first arrived in New
York, but that he spent it in defending
himself against bitter attacks from his
enemies.
Mrs. Cook writes that it was her
fault that Cook did not appear publicly
at the time he was unfavorably re-
ported on. She says Cook is still very
i'll and will be in no condition to take
up his fight for the honors which he
still says should have been his
"The explorer, with his family, will
arrive quietly in New York tomorrow,
and will settle down for quiet life the
rest of his days"

Head and Secure Money and
Watch-Meager De-
scrption Given

While on his way to his home, 1O43
Florida street, DR.. Charles N. Alder
son was held up and robbed by two
armed masked men shortly before IL
o'clock last night and robbed of $50
and a gold watch.
The holdup occurred at the corner of
Florida and Francisco streets. DR..
Anderson was walking along when two
men sprang from the shadows of the
trees and placing revolvers near his
head commanded. him to hold up his
hands.
After looking in the muzzles of the
revolvers the victim decided it best to
comply and raised his hands above
his head. While one of the men held
the revolver in front of him the other
went through his pockets and obtained
the watch and money.
Warning him not to make an outcry
or attempt to follow them. the two
holdup men told DR.. Anderson TO "beat
it," He did.
When he arrived at his home he no.
titled the police department but was
unable to give an accurate descrip-
tion of the robbers, as they wore
masks. Detectives were sent to the
scene Of the holdup, but did not dis
cover any traces of the men.

to the platform. The police once more
called on him to surrender, but he re-
piled with several shots from his re-
volver.

shot him in the face. Notwithstanding
this injury, he blazed away again.

and struck Bethea in the right arm
The desperate man tried to fire again,
but the police closed in, and as they
took hold of him he fell dead in the
arms of patrolman.

POSITIVE PROOF S0L0NS PAID

Lawyer Admits Getting Large Sums
from Insurance Companies for
Apparently Doing Nothing.

Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, March 23.-Although
William II. Hotchkiss, state superin-
tendent of insurance, was still unable
to uncover positive proof that money
was used TO buy votes at Albany in
connection with fire insurance legisla-
tion, he developed some interesting
facts at today's session of the inquiry
in regard to the work of William H.
Buckley
Buckley is a lawyer of Albany, who
started his practice in 1901. Three
years later he was getting about $780,
600 a year from insurance companies
for his legal services. Before he was
admitted to the bar Buckley was con-
nected with the state insurance de-
partment. From 1892 to 1896 he was
a clerk in the department and until
1901 he was third deputy
While he was deputy superintendent
according to his testimony today, he
obtained three loans amounting to $61,-
900 from the Phenix Fire Insurance
company of Brooklyn, of whicn the late
George Sheldon. for years the legisla-
tive agent for the fire insurance COM
panies at Albany, was president. For
just such loans as these Sheldon was
deposed from his company several
months ago, was indicted and died
broken-hearted man at Greenwich,
Conn, without being brought to trial
Buckley found it profitable to rep
resent the fire insurance companies,
but he testified today that he never
appeared in court for them; never went
before legislative committees-in fact,
he could not remember just what he
had done. He could only say that in
a general way he acted as counsel for
the companies and had kept no record
whatever of any transaction. He was
under annual retainer from several
companies
Money from Both Sides
In 1904 he received between S25.00O
and 10000. of which about $4,000 was
from the foreign insurance companies,
according to evidence produced He
also received various large sums from
domestic concerns. This was in the
year the Grady insurance bill, which
benefited foreign insurance companies
by reducing the amount of their re-
serves. was passed. The domestic
were opposing the bill and
Mr.. Hotchkiss asked the witness if
he was not getting money from both
sides.
Mr.. Buckley had no opinion on that
subject He would not even admit that
any of the money paid to him was in
with the bill. He said he
knew little about the bill and when
Mr.. Hotchkiss asked him if he had paid
any money to legislators he said:
"Thats absurd; no, SIR

sums during number of years.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachiau Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, aud when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine out of ten
cases are caused by Catarrh. which is moth
inc but an nflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces
