Is a Fraud.

Copenhagen, Jan. 1S.-Walter Ions
dale is the most recent of the former
associates and employees OF DR.. Freder-
lex A. Cook to admit a d~istrust of the

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 typewriter
duplicate Of the polar records, and
brought the data here for the examina-
ition of the university committee. He
has remained loyal to his employer I'M
til now, when he says he Is beginning
to doubt him.

ter from Cook under date of December
"a and mailed from a city in southern
Spain. According to this letter Cook
was on the sea from December IA to
December "a, accordingly was not ac-
quainted with the decision of the ex-
aiming committee when the letter was
written. Since the receipt of this letter
Lonsdale says he has heard nothing
from Cook though he has addressed
several kilograms to him at a point
where he thought the explorer could be

FORCED TO SUSPEND
Strike Of Freshmen Causes
Publishers of Dailies to
Cease Temporarily.

Denver. Jan. 1S.--Probably for the
first time in its history Denver break
tasted today without its usual morn
ing paper. The cause was the difficulty
between the publishers and the local
organization of the international Press
mems union. which reached a climax
yesterday. Although yesterdays confer
nee was continued until long after
midnight, no basis for agreement could
be reached, and publishers of the two
morning papers decided not to make
any attempt to publish this morning.
The demands of the local union orig
inally Were for a seven-hour instead Of
an eight hour day Inc an increase of 81
a day, the changes to date from March
/. last. These conditions were agreed
to. but before the fnal adjustment
could be made the pressmen demanded
that they be granted time and a half
for the extra hour they had worked I'M
der the new scale from last March.
This the publishers refused and the
lockout followed. Negotiations will be
resumed today.
The increase of 81 a day and time
and a half for the extra hour since last
March will aggregate between $15,O 0
and $4,000 for the four local dailies.
II an adjustment is not reached
speedily the trouble may involve pa
pers in other cities of the state.
