Meanwhile William started out to the
middle OF the road after the other
Italian. The latter paused moment.
and whirling around, sent 38-caliber
revolver bullet into william Keller's
chest, the bullet penetrating the right
lung and causing almost instant death.
AS william staggered and fell, the
armed Italian leveied his weapon at
Peter, and ordered him to release his
prisoner. Peters grip relaxed. and
the second italian broke from him
and fed. Peter saw that his brother
was fatally hurt. and half craxed by

POOR DOC COOK
HAS ONLY $4,000
Friends Say He Picked Up TriAing
100000 Before He disappeared
Into the Cleaning.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-Dr. Cooks
fake. II fake Il he did, wasn't such a
Tat thing for his pocketbook as some
people figure. his friends say.
They insist that the doctor. In fact.
only picked up trifiing 100000 from
his newspaper writings and the lee
lures he delivered In "a cities right on
the bat on his return TO America And
a whole lot Of that $4,000 went giim-
mering ON various ordinary and cx-
traordinary expenses that bobbed up
before the explorer disappeared into
the cleaning.
For instance. the suite of rooms
which he held at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel is In the S30-a-day class. He
occupied this suite for four weeks,
which meant an expense OF about $S4o.
The third day ne was in New YORK
he took Mrs. Cook to Tiffany's store
and made extensive purchases OF jew
elry for her, and the new white satin
gown in which she appeared at the
Cook banquet was costly piece OF
work. Among other expenses was
$500 for sending a newspaper man 10
Montana to investigate the stories that
Barrill. the Mount Mckinley guide,
was being offered sums Of money TO
declare that Cook was a fakfr COOK
also retained II. Wellington Wack, an
attorney, and TO his secretary, walter
Lonsdale, he paid large salary. IL Is
probable that Dr. Cooks first two
weeks In this country cost him 5000.
This expense was met by the proceeds
Of his first New York lecture, which
Melted him about $4,000. .-
To hear his friends tell II. 1t was
no easy matter to get DIR. Cook TO take
the lecture platform.
II argued with him for six hours
VIM. Gray, who later became his lee
ture manager told me. He Kept In
sisting that he must complete his rec
ords and write his books.
GRAY suggested a few lectures In
large eastern cities, but as soon as
they got on the road. covering Boston,
philadelphia, washington, Baltimore
and other large centers. Gray began to
extend his bookings.
One day Gray showed DR.. Cook q
pile of telegraphic offers from all over
| the country. They were on tram
between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City. Just a few hours before COOK
had received word that Barrill. the
Mount Mckinley guide, had declared
that Cook had not climbed the noun
tain. :.
"They don't interest me, MIR. Gray,
said Cook. I'm losing my faith In
humanity. I did not think man
could stoop as low as this man Bar
rfiI has done"
The lecture tour finally ended at
Minneapolis.
Cooks friends have an ingenious
way of figuring II out that the doctor
hasn't. as they put 1t. money enough
left to buy little farm on which ne
could settle down in exclusion"
To start with they admit that ne
made 100000 from his lectures and
the newspapers.
Expenses: In New York, travel and
legal. $4,000.
Drew out of bank and stuck down
| in his jeans when he disappeared:
$4,000.
Surplus, $4,000.
But see here. The doctor In his OK
plorings had spent all his wife's for
tune OF $4,000.
SO all he has left is $1,000!!!

yocated by Professor J. G. Hume or

him before the American Philosophy

Guided its sessions today.
His subject was The significance
of Suicide and he urged closer In
