AsRUzzI WOULD FLY TO POLE.
italian Aviator Will Accompany the
Duke on His Aerial Dash.

London, Dec. 22.-The quest of the
north pole in an aeroplane is said by
the Rome correspondent of the Cen.
trail News to be the ambition of Duke
Abruzzi. The duke is now on his way
to America, the correspondent says
to confer with Captain Peary regard
ing the feasibility of an aeroplane
dash to the north
Cagno, one of the most daring Ital
ian fliers, will accompany the duke
should the plan be attempted. One
will use Farman biplane and the 9th
er Bleriot monoplane, each machine
having carrying capacity of two pas
sengers and large amount of fuel.
Ten years ago Duke Abruzzi led a
polar expedition to latitude sc degrees
and 33 minutes, north, setting a new
record up to that time. He also as
cended Mount Stelias in Alaska and
has explored the Himalayas.

Saws Husband Painted Face.

New York, Dec. 22.-The judge was
so astonished last week when the

it would be best to fix the husbands
bail at $50, and let him return today
to face the wife's charges. No lawyer
could put 1t better than Mrs. Weiss.
whose testimony is as follows: 81
could tolerate his looking occasionally
at other women, judge, and also his
staying out late at nights, even though
we were married only year, but
couldn't stand his painting his face.
It's bad enough for a woman to do so,
but mana husband who spends fif-
teen minutes before the mirror every
morning painting his cheeks rosy and
pencilling his eyebrows! Well, judge,
left him." Mrs. Weiss is II and her
husband is two years her senior. The
judge will decide today whether she
ought to have a separation or an out
and-out divorce.

Questions for Or. Cook.

New York, Dec. 22.-Reporters for
the newspapers of this and other cities
have prepared a list of interesting
questions which will be submitted to
DIR. Cook, the explorer, on his arrival
from Europe today. The most import.
ant question on the list is, "Will you
refund the money you earned from
lectures on your discovery of the north
pole from funds you expect to receive
from your story of how you made the
mistake of thinking that you had dis.
covered the pole?" Dr. Cook, accord.
ing to his friends and representatives
comes back to clear his name and re.
gain the confidence of the American
people.
DR.. Cook has been In exile for al.
most year, travelling from one place
to another, first In South America and
then In Europe. Most OF the time dur
ing his exile, however, he has been in
London. He has gone about among
Americans there with utmost freedom
and at times has registered under his
own name. Yet, despite the fact that
there has probably never been a mar
whose photograph has been published
so much and so often, there have beer
only few who have guessed his iden
tity.
