CooK DESERTED AGAIN.
Explorer Gives New Address, but Ig-
nores ALI kilograms Sent Him.

Copenhagen, Jan. 17.-Walter Ions
dale, DR.. Cook s secretary, and the last
of the explorers friends, has now lost
confidence in the doctor. Lonsdale SAYS
the last letter from Cook was dated in
city in southern Spain, December "a.
II gave another address to which Ions
dale could telegraph, and promised a
long letter of detailed information.
Lonsdale since has telegraphed several
times to the address given, but received
no reply, nor the promised letter. The
solitary notebook sent the commission
was received from Mrs Cook December
q, from the same city in Spain. Ions
dale has no idea where Cook is now.
Lonsdale was private secretary to
United States Minister Egan up to the
time of the arrival here of DR.. Cook.
with whom he then associated himself
in a similar confidential capacity. He
accompanied the explorer to the United
States, made the typewritten duplicate
OF the polar records, and brougfrsA the
data here for examination by the uni
verslty committee. He has remained
loyal to his employer until now, when.
ne says, he is beginning to doubt him.
Lonsdale estimates that Cook cleared
$4,000 from the exploitation of his
Arctic reputation.
Insane After Trip to North.
Cleveland, Jan. 17.-Dr. Frederick
a. Cooks story of the discovery of
the earth's apex was the result of polar
insanity, according to Rev. B. E. Rowe.
Episcopal bishop of Alaska. Bishop
Rowe said that both Cook IS remarkable
story and Commander Peary's frame
OF mind upon hearing that story, read
lily can be attributed to the loneliness,
the grayness and the silence of the
north. CAN men come from the polar
circle with their nerves shattered, {"
said the bishop, "and in Alaska we
send home so men annually after the
long winter, their minds completely
wrecked"

coUNTERFE1TERs' MINT FOUND
Secret Service ohicials Capture Three
Men and Outfit.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE most
complete coin eounterfeiting outfit thar
has ever fallen into the hands of the
federal authorities was captured here
by secret service men this afternoon,
and with it three men were arrested.
The secret service men admit the seiz-
ure and arrests are of great Importance
and the result of concerted effort in
following trails leading in many diree-
tions.
The plant was located in a lonely
shack on the rocky summit of Bernal
heights, the highest hill in the city,
and was captured after a spectacular
assault. Secret Service Operatives
Harry Motif and ]. NJ. Nye were on
the ease, and after definitely locating
their quarry, they called City Detec-
tives Reagan and o'Connen to their
aid.
Last night the detectives on watch
in the shrub-eOvered rocks saw four
OF the men they mad marked enter the
shack, but the attack was deferred in
the hope that other members of the
gang might come TO cover.
They were disappointed in this, and
late this afternoon Chief Operative
Mofit decided TO act. Creeping on
hands and knees the four officers ap-
preached the shack, and on signal
made 4 rush, but the house was well
barrieaded, and they were compelled TO
batter an entrance with an ak. While
they were breaking in the doors, one
member Of the gang escaped, making
his, way down a cliff on the brink of
which the cabin stands.
The three men arrested gave their
names as Michael Angelo, Samuel Di
Cola and Samuel Arman. These are
probably assumed names, and there is
reason to believe that at least two of
the prisoners are important captures.
After securing their prisoners, the of
tieers examined the plant, which filed
the little hut, and were astounded at
its completeness and the mechanical ex-
cellenee of the machinery 1t was a
miniature mint. They found almost
perfect dies for every coin from 10
cents to $40, and lathes, saws, stamps
and other accessories of the finest work
manship.
The stamps are said to be of almost
the same pattern as those used in the
United States mints. The largest stamp
was so massive it could not be carried
into the Federal building. 1t is too
powerful for hand operation, and prob
ably fearing the noise of a motor or
other power engine, the gang had de-
vised and installed a complicated and
ingenious system of lever and grad
uated weights, applied by long steel
beam. No coins or metal were found.
for the raid was timed just before the
plant was to have been placed in oper-
alton.
1t is understood the clew followed
by the secret service operatives began
with the purchase of the big stamp, and
has been followed for months. They
refuse, however, to say where the stamp
was bought.
''Coins from dies identical with those
we have here" said one of the officers,
''are now in circulation in the east, and
may have been made with this machine.
This gang is probably part of coun-
try-wide organization. -

lrrigate $50 600 Acres.

Klamath Fslls-The Warner Lake
Irrigation company was recently in
corporated with capital stock Of
s25, 900, for the purpose of irrigating
a large tract of land in Lake county
under the Carey act. The officers Of
the company are: W. H. Bradford,
president; E. C. Belknap, vice-presi-
dent; and chief engineer; C. q.
Gleim. secretary; n. B. Millard, as
sistant treasurer and manager.
1t is the intention of the company
to reclaim approximately $50, 900
acres. The Warner valley is beauti-
ful district of approximately 100 miles
in length lying in the eastern part of
Lake county. This valley is so shell
tered by the mountains that it has a
climate all its own; so different is the
climate from the surrounding territory
that the stock men have for years
made a practice of wintering their
sheep and cattle in this district.

stated that he thought by careful at

about one-half of the crop. The hail
stones were, in some instances, al
most as large as baseball, and one
which was selected weighed three
quarters of a pound, and the storm
was so severe that II almost complete

house roofs were riddled by the hail
stones. How does this sound to Ore

the United States senate. as against
Senator Piles, whose term Of office

tary Ballinger, who is from the same

Hill yesterday Of Representative
Poindexter, of Washington;
Colonel Roosevelt will see very

and Intends to say nothing as to any
contests for nomination. II he has
anything to say on such subject

"All that Mr.. Roosevelt said In this
case was that he was pleased TO find
that. as he had expected from Mr.
Poindexter's past record, Mr.. Pon-
dexter was In hearty sympathy with
Mr.. Roosevelt's views as to conserva-
tion and similar subjects Mr. Roose-
welt EXPRESSED no opinion about the
senatorial contest, and Mr.. Roose-
welt believes Mr.. Poindexter is not
responsible for the statements which
have appeared. Certninlv. insofar
as these statements have quoted Mr..
Roosevelt. except ms above indicated,
they had no foundation whatever in

called forth by the fact that he took
exception to special dispatches from
Oyster Bay last night. in which he
was quoted directly as saying that

HIS contest for seat In the United
States senate.
The colonel received a delegation
