DR.. Cook Dropped from Roll
of Arctic Club He Founded

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The Arctic club
OF America-founded by Dr. Frederick A.
Cook and his supporters in the North pole
controversy-through its board OF directors
has dropped the name of the explorer from
its roll of membership.
The action of the Arctic club directors
last night was unanimous and followed
nard on the heels Of the explorers sum
mary dismissal from the council OF the
5Iooklyn Institute OF Arts and Sciences
TWO days ago and strips from the explorer
almost the last vestige OF scientific honors,
only the degree OF doctor of philosophy,
conferred by the University OF Copenhagen,
remaining.
The Arctic club of America led in the
welcome festivities to DR.. Cook on his
return from Greenland and Copenhagen.
Later the club rendered Dr. Cook, a former
president OF the organization, a banquet
at the Waldorf-Astoria, while many of
It's individual members, including Admiral
Schley and Captain Osborn, warmly cham
pioned the cause OF Cook, when his now
discredited polar claim was challenged.
Another member OF the Cook family

OF the discredited explorers wife-made a
| statement last night Mrs. Dudley says
| DR.. Cook is a nervous wreck, unable "a

he remains in hiding is that he could not
stand the strain Of further controversy.
I'VE are praying" says Mrs. Dudley
that he will soon recover so that he may
come forward and defend himself. Mrs

answer can be found in Mr. Hitchcock S
statement to The Bee tonight. When asked
direct question. whether he contemplated

IT have been seriously considering the
matter and expect to make proper an

and that will be in ample time The pri-
maries do not occur until August"
A telegram from Lincoln gave the infor-
nation that after a series Of conferences
among democratic leaders held early In
the week the consensus of opinion was
that Hitchcock should make the race. The
telegram further stated that leading
democrats declare that W. j. Bryan will
will not run for the senate. They also
aver that Governor A. c. Shallenbergel
will be candidate for reelection. This
practically slde-tracks Mayor Dahlman OF
Omaha who has gubernatorial ambitions

Of the Lincoln state house. Mr.. Hitchcock
disclaimed any knowledge whatsoever. Tt

LINCOLN Jan. 6.--(Special)-'In my
opinion the primary law enacted by the last
legislature expressly exempts the nomin-
alton of candidates for United States sena-
tor at the primary election to be held in
August"
Such is the statement of Attorney GEN
eral Thompson following a reading Of the
act.
Language to my mind can hardly be
any palmer" he continued. "It appears
to me the intent of the legislature was TO
prevent the nomination of candidates for
the senate"
The section Of the lawlabout which there
has been so much dispute reads as fol-
lows:
Section 1854 (primary when and where
held.)-There shall be a primary election
held at the regular polling place in each
precinct on the third Tuesday in August
and annually thereafter on the third Tues
day in August, for the nomination of all
candidates except those exempted from the
provisions of this act to be voted for al
the November election and United States
senator, and said day shall be the first
day Of registration Of voters in all cities
where registration is required.
There is no punctuation in the section.

II the opinion of the attorney genera

II both parties heed the Oregon Bryan
| law then 1t is possible that an unlimited
number of candidates may have thei

is no way by which the legislature can b.
forced to elect the one who receives th'
plurality OF the votes cast.
"I am in favor of the republican party
entirely ignoring that Oregon plan o
voting for senator's" said H. C. Lindsay
clerk OF the supreme court. ZIP my opinion
IL would be a good idea for the republican
state committee to have an early meeting
and go on record urging candidates for tn
legislature on the republican ticket t
ignore that law. The law itself is no

Famous Slaughter
 Quarantine Fence

The famous Slaughter drift or quarantine fence case that ior several years has been in the land office and at times under the consideration of both the secretary o! the interior and the secretary o. agriculture, has come to su end, for the time being st least, due to the efforts Of United States Attorney Morrison and the Lave Stock Sanitary board.
 The history of the fence affair is generally known and has been of great interest to stock raisers to whom it was of great importance that the fences in the controversy be left standing to prevent the spread of the Texas fever.
 In 1901 fever infected cattle were crossing the international line at a point near Slaughter's ranch at San Bernsrdino. To prevent the infected cattle from entering the country and spreading the dreaded disease among the stock on this side of the line Slaughter built fence which extend- ed along the line for many miles. | has proven protection for all Cochis' csttlemen.

 The article on Arizona was written by John $. McGoarty, one of the ab- lest authors and writers on the Pacific coast. and it speaks of this territory in such terms that few paragraphs from the magazine are reproduced as lollows:
 Buried deep in the sands> are the Seven Cites of Cibols. but over their ruins and high above the'r lost towers stand thrice seven cities now, richer, more beautiful and endlessly more al- turing with the romance of progress than Cibola ever was. Again the fields are green from the touch of living waters, again are wrought from the treasure houses of the inexhsustible hills, gold and silver and bronze for R queens girdle and the battle axes of chieftains. The name of Arizona that was writ in sand through countless ages of sleep is now written in furnace flame on the scroll of midn ght skies |.
 "Gope is the lswless life Of the des- ert, the Apache has been beaten step by step and inch by inch into submis- sion, his war bonnet hung away for ever. his children learning to read and write in school, his sons with their strong hands to the blow.
