there is a stringent law on the subject,

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days DsaIinss in All
Tho Leading Stocks.

New York, Jan. 19-Those concerned IN
the stock market had their attention al
verified today from general causes anect-
ing values to those having to do with
purely speculative causes. The collapse
in Columbus and Hooking Coal and iron
affected the market in much the same
way as the Rock Island episode in the
market of Dec. q and gave rise TO the
question whether investigation and dis
cipline by the Stock Exchange authorl-
ties were to follow as in the ROCK lsland
case. The activities of a market poor IN
the Hooking stock have been notorious
for months, in the course of which cen
turesome bear traders attempted to proht
by the evidence of imitation in the price
of the stock by short sales. so perfect
has been the control of the stock by tne
pool that they are able to mete punish
ment to the bears as often as they hap
pened and at the same time further the
project of advancing the market quota
ton for their holdings. How little gen.
uine demand existed for the stock at the
price attitudes to which it had been lifted
was the striking demonstration of its ac-
ton today when bankers called loans
to market their stock for what 1t would
bring. The collapse to % compared with

Is Report Now Made.


Boston, Jan. l9.-The free hide victory
AT Washington last year has greatly aided
the prosperity of the shoe trade, said
Thomas f. Anderson, secretary of the
New England Leather Association, in his
report at the annual meeting of the or
ganiZation today.
The report gave an outline of the new
activities engaged in during 1909. Chief
among these has been the Inauguration
of an aggressive campaign Of publicity in
connection with New Engand's shoe and
leather products.
The association elected Charles c. Hoyt
of Boston president Mr.. Anderson secre-
tary and George Mcconnell of Boston
treasurer. Among the vice presidents
chosen were: Charles X. Fox and William
n. Spaulding, both of Haverhill, and
Arthur G. Walton of Lynn. The direct
ors include Frank P. Aborn, Charles S.
Grover and Edward r. Hoag, Lynn. and
Frank G. Bradley, Haverhill
The association, in a set of resolutions,
placed itself on record as opposed to the
publicity clause in the federal corporation
tax law and petitioned the United States
Congress for it's repeal.

Complete Examination
Of Or. Cooks Notes and Stick
To Their Original Verdict.
Honorary Degree Conferred on Him
May Be Rescinded Later.

Copenhagen, Jan. 19-The committee
of the University of Copenhagen has
completed its examination of DR. Fred
erick A. Cooks original notes, and to-
day confirmed its previous conclusions
that not the slightest proof that the ex-
piorer reached the North pole had been
submitted.
The report was submitted to the con-
sistory of the university today. The
committee finds that the copy of Cooks
data upon which it's previous decision
was based conforms in the main to the
original notebook now in its possession.
The latter, the examiners say. contains
various alterations, but there is noth-
ing to show whether the changes were
made with the purpose of decelVlhs.
While the cOnsiStory was unanimous
in declaring that Cooks claims were
absolutely untrue, there are sun soi'i''
of it's members who urge that COOK Is
an honest man. though not sclehtls''
SO far as the University OF Copenia-
gen Is concerned, Dr.. Cook Is now d
back number.
No immediate STEPS will be taken TO
rescind the honorary degree conferred
unon Cook by the university. as the
verdict of the consistory is merely one
of cease unproven" so far as the decl-
sion of the university is concerned.
However, Rector Solomansen and Prof.
S+rcmbren the chairman of the exam
lining committee, have been delegated
to further consider all evidence at their
disposal, after which final action con-
corning the university's honoring of the
explorer may be taken.
