WAS eEWiLOeREo.

He said he had always looked on
the discovery of the pole as an ac-
hievement for his own personal sat
isfaction, for the satisfaction of a
craving and desire that was greater
than any other factor in his life.
When he found how tremendous
sensation his statement that he had
attained the pole created, he was
overcome with bewilderment. DR..
Cook then tells the story of the days
in Copenhagen and later in New
York and of the crisis in his life
that caused his flight from New York
and his voluntary exile from the
United States. The explorer says
that Notwithstanding the fact that
he was followed by the shredest
newspapermen in the world day
after day and that sums ranging up
ward of several thousands of dollars
were offered for clew as to his
whereabouts he has never worn a
disguise and has never taken any
unusual precautions to conceal his
identity. Part of the time, he says,
his wife has been with him and part
of the time his children.

WANTS TO RETURN.

With the opportunities for thought
that his exile has given him-Dr.
Cook says he never even had time
to sleep more than three or four
hours between his arrival at Copen-
hagen and his disappearance in
New York-he has found growing
stronger and stronger the desire to
return to his own country, to be
understood by his own people. He
realizes better than any one else the
esteem in which he was held.
II have been called the greatest
liar in the world, the most monu-
mental impostor in history" says
DR.. Cook. Il believe that in every
undesirable way | stand unique, the
object of such suspicion and vituper-
alton as have assailed few men,"
With this realization, DIR. Cook
wrote his story and says that to him
the honor of discovering the north
pole no longer means anything.

Happenings
Racy News From the Capitol Regard
ing Sugar Stock.
BY l.. D. Timmons.
Honolulu Dec,

by ~. AlnuiOhS'
Honolulu Dec. 13
The sensation of the day in the
sugar world is sweeping decline
in raws at New York late yesterday.
Without any hint of what was COM
ing, the bottom of the market sud-
denly dropped out, sales being made
at 1856 against the last previous
quotation of 4.O5. 1t will thus be
noted that the decline was 19 cents
per hundred pounds, something
rarely heard of in the sugar market.
What makes the drop all the more
surprising is the encouraging tone
of the last previous news on the sub
ject.
The immediate cause OF the slump
is not know here and probably will
not be until the arrival of mail a
week or more hence from the Coast,
but the accepted theory seems to be
that the Christmas market has been
satisfied and that the approach OF
heavy Cuban cargoes has caused
holders of spot sugars to unload on
sacrifice terms.
AS previously indicated in these
columns, however, the slump need
not have been great surprise, for
it was really overdue. With the
enormous output of this year., it was
and is the plainest thing in the
world that the market will be smoth-
cred for time by spot sugars from
Europe and Cuba, to say nothing
of other incoming shipments. That
this congestion will be temporary
only is a theory held by many close
students of the market; and this
opinion seems about as reasonable
as any other.
The point of most interest in
these Islands is the market in jan
uary, Februrry and March. Will
the big crops of Europe and Cuba
be partially out of the way when
Hawaii again reaches the market?
The indications are that such is
quite possible, and that fairly salts
factory prices may be realized for
the Hawaiian crop as whole.
EFFECT ON srocks.
The drop in the price of sugar
will undoubtedly have depressing
effect upon stocks in the local
bourse. Honolulu stock figures are
swayed instantly by market con.
ditions, and are certain to decline
with the price Of raws. Moreover
Christmas affairs will claim first at.
tention from now on, 80 that tho
stock market is certain to lack thrill.

week in January.

Of
Insanity
DR.. Cook Says He Don't Know What
He Found.

III IlcNCiiNh NOoh, CilC piooh-
lyn explorer, in an article published
in Hamptons s magazine, confesses
that he does not know whether he
reached the north pole DR.. Cook,
who has been in hiding for more
than a year, has informed the edi-
tors of the magazine publishing his
story that he will return TO the
United States with his wife and
children December % in order to
spend Christmas here.
Doctor Cook, in his story, deals
with the Psychology of his adven-
lures and says:
Did | get to the north pole?
Perhaps | made mistake in think
ing that l did. Perhaps / did not
make a mistake. After mature
thought | confess that do not know
absolutely whether | reached the
pole or not. This may come as an
amazing statement, but | am will
ing to startle the world if by 80 do
ing | can get an opportunity to pre-
sent my case.
BY my case | mean not my case
as geographical discoverer, but my
case as a man. Much as the attain.
ment of the north pole once meant
to me, the sympathy and confidence
of my fellowmen mean more.
| WILL TELL AL.
Fully, freely and frankly ] shall
tell you everything; tell you every
thing leave the decision will
you. If, after reading my story
you say, Cook is sincere and honest
half crazed by months of isolation
and hunger, he believed he reached
the pole; he is not a faker, then
shall be satisfied" 4"
| DR.. Cook tells the story of his Iif
land pictures what he calls the over
powering ambition for exploration
that beset him and finally culini
mated in his effort to reach the pole
Cook declares that at the time h
convinced himself he had discover
ed the pole he was half mad. H
spent two years in his quest AM
during that time endured hunge
and privation that, he says, woul
unbalance any mind.
The explorer states that it woul
be impossible for any man to de
monstrate beyond question that h
had been to the north pole. H
characterizes the artic as a region {

Hands Across
the Sea
Notable Demonstration in London When
Lord Mayor Dimes the Jackies.

Sir Thomas Vesey Strong, the
lord Mayor, and the corporation of
the city of London gave luncheon
at Guildhall to 750 American sailors
from the visiting fleet.
The bluejackets arrived by train
at Charing Cross headed by Com
mander Sims of the Minnesota and
the officers of the staff, and accom-
panied by the band of the Cold
stream guards, which the war office
had ordered out for the occasion,
marched through the streets in the
west end of the city to the ancient
hall, where 80 many famous guests
have been honored.
A big crowd assembled outside
the station and, lining the streets
on which traffic had been stopped,
gave the Americans, who carried
the stars and stripes and their
ships colors, rousing welcome.
WELCOME At ov,LoHALL
Arriving at Guildhill the visitors
formed in quadrangle. while the
band played the Star Spangled
Banner"
Sir Thomas received Commander
Sims and his officers in the recep-
ton hall, and before luncheon was
served passed around the dining hall
greeting the guests. n
The bluejackets were seated at
long tables in the main hall. At
the head of the table was the lord
mayor, with Commander Sims at
his right and with aldermen and
uniformed officers around them.
In the gallery, the lady mayoress
entertained Mrs. Reid, wife OF the
American ambassador, and the
wives of the visiting officers.
The menu was simple but plenti-
full, including turkey and great
barons of beef, carried in with pom
pous ceremony, plum pudding and
mince pie.
LORD MAYOR spEAKs
| The dining was followed first by
formal toasts to King George and
President Taft. Sir Thomas then
welcomed the sailors. He said that
lit was his privilege to receive the
officers of the American fleet yes
terday and that the corporation OF
the city of London was equally
proud to receive in the same hall
today the men of the American
navy. He added:
Il offer you the heartiest welcome
of England, where no one is more
popular than the man behind the
, gun. The American jack tar is
: regarded with a large share OF that
affection which is felt for our owr
men,"

! Replying, Commander Sims spoke
with enthusiasm of the friendl!

fleet had been received in London
D This, he said, could not happen il
9 any other country, but was mad
possible by the strong ties OF bloo'
between the two countries.

British empire was menaced by al
. external enemy, it might count up

The GENTLEMEN
Elaborate Spread for Gentlemen
at the Home of Mrs. Miller.

As general rule gentlemen know very
little in regard to the inside workings of
womens clubs. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that every gentleman whose wife
belongs to what has heretofore been con-
sidered that very mysterious "What-so.
Ever" club, is DOW an ardent supporter
of women's clubs, and is very solictous
in regard to the welfare of this particu-
lar club.
Last Thursday evening the ladies of
the club entertained the gentlemen to an
elaborate five-course dinner at the de-
lightful and commodious home of Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Miller. The hostess
kindly took the entire evening in charge,
ana to say that everything was up to the
highest standard of excellence would be
putting it lightly. We are safe in say.
ing, however, that the arrangements for
the evening, from start to finish, could
not have been excelled.
The dining room was profusely deco.
rated with smilax, hot house roses and
potted plants. The menu was elaborate
and entirely 10 keeping with the other
arrangements.
1t being the birthday of Mrs. w. f.
Hoyt, one of the members of the club,
she was the recipient of beautiful
bouquet of pink roses-a gift from the
hostess.
After dinner, the balance of the even.
ing was spent in social intercourse, music
and cards At late hour the guests
reluctantly turned their footsteps home
ward, the gentlemen feeling indeed as
though they were indebted to the ladies
of the club, and especially to Mr.. and
Mrs. Miller for another delightful even
ing.

BOOSTERS FAVOR
A SANE FOURTH
Ordinance. Work of Last Year
Reviewed. Last Meeting.

The Boosters club held their regular
meeting last Tuesday, at the usual hour.
Many of its members were either out Of
.own or unavoidably detained. The meet
ing was, however, of special interest to
those present.
John Mutchler was chairman OF the
day, and had charge OF the program he
called upon DR.. Lauphear, who gave his
ideas in regard to a sane Four h of July
celebration. The doctor is opposed to
the use of any explosives on the Fourth
and thought the council should pass a
resolution prohibiting the sale aud use
OF fireworks and explosives wi.hin the
village limits n gave facts and figures
showing the loss of life and limb in the
United States during the past five years.
The number is appalling.
A motion was passed requesting the
village council to pass prohibitive ordi
nsnces in regard to the sale and use of
explosives, the same to become operative
in the year 1911.
Attorney T. j. Cavanaugh reviewed
the work of the cluh during its existence;
mentioning many things that had been
accomplished, and calling attention to
much work Y ct to be done
Rev. G.. E. Harvey was called upon for
remarks, and gave the club some excel
lent thoughts on the coming chautauqua.
He is an expert on chautauqua work,
and knows whereof he speaks. The pro-
gram, he said, for the 1910 chautauqua
was the best to be obtained and the pro-
iect should receive the support and en-
couragement of every citizen of this
community, as it means much to Paw
\ Paw.
The club adjourned subject to the call
of the president. 1t is not planned to hold
meetings during the summer months,
except as it may become necessary.

ANT|-TUBERCULOSIS
SOCIETY IS BUSY
All Over United States. Splitting on
Sidewalks is Menace 20 the
Public Health.

Anti splitting ordinances, laws and
regulations in more than FIVE eights of
the cities and towns OF the country are
not enforced as they should be, alleges
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis 10 a
bullstin issued today. While most of
the larger cities of the United States
have such laws on their books, in the
great ma jority Of cases they are ignored
or overlooked.
The bulletin is preliminary to more
extensive study of the subject which
will be presented at the next meeting of
the National Association in Washington
on May 3, by Robert j. Newton of St.
Louis. 1t covers in detail the enforce
ment of the anti.spitting ordinances 10
80 OF the largest cities in the country.
During the year 1909 in these so cities,
3,42l arrests were made for violation of
the laws regarding splitting in public
places. Over 1900 convictions were Sc
cured and S4,l00S7 was collected in
fines.
New York City had more arrests than
and other city, having had 2,5l3 with
2,099 convictions, and 81 1886 so collected
in fines. Baltimore comes next with
2l4 arrests and an equal number of con-
vctions. Pittsburg is third in rank
with st. Louis in fourth place ST.
Louis, however, would have been in
second place, il the sanitary police who
enforce the law in that city had been at
work in 1909 10 % cities out of the 50
the law was either not enforced at all
or very poorly enforced. OF the remain
ing % cities, less than one. half of them
contributed moro than three-fourths Of
arrests for splitting and of the tines col
| lected.
On account of the fact that National
tuberculosis Sunday was observed
on April 24, the National Association
is calling the attention of clergy men 10
all parts of the country to the advisable.
/ ity of bringing before their -congrega.
tions the necessity for better enforce
ment of the anti-sptting avs.

BOAT CAPS|zED
ON MAPLE LAKE
Sail Boat Turned Over Throwing Occu-
pants in the Water. Ladies Had just
Left Boat in Launch.

The first accident of the season on
Maple Lake occurred last Sunday. B..
r. Crandall and wife OF this place and
Clarence Quick and wife of Kalamazoo
were out on the lake in a small sail boat.
The ladies decided that they would pre-
fer to ride in launch and had just
stepped into one, when the sail boat cap
sized. Perry Yeider was running Long
wells launch, and in trying to assist
the two men who we're in the water, got
a rope around the propeller shaft and
disabled the launch. The en- however
we're taken out of the wet, aud the two
boats drifted helplessly, until DR.. Smith
arrived with his large sail boat and took
the entire party safely to shore.
1t was fortunate that the accident did
not terminate more seriously, for had
the entire party been in the the boat
when il capsized il is hard to tell what
the results might have been.
