KISSED COOK OFF
COPENHAGEN STAGE

COPENHAGEN, October 24-Dr.
Frederick A. Cooks theatrical at
tempt tonight to vindicate his reputa-
ton by a lecture in the hall where
two years ago he addressed the royal
family and some of the most promi-
nent persons of Denmark, under the
auspices of the Geographical Society,
on the occasion of his triumphal en-
trance into the capital, resulted in en-
tremely riotous scenes. DR.. Cook
was finally compelled to retire inglo-
riously by the back door.
Ever since it was announced that
Cook was returning to this city 10
lecture, the newspapers and the peo-
pie have been strongly stirred, and
threats Of violence were freely cir
culated. Fifteen hundred persons as
sembled in the hall tonight and a
great crowd outside greeted DR.. Cook
with an uproar of insulting cries He
was escorted by police, however, and
no violence was attempted.
The meeting within the hall was
turbulent throughout A small frac-
ton of the audience supported Dr.
Cook and applauded his efforts. 9th
ers Kissed continually, with the result
that the two sides almost came %
blows.
The lecture, illustrated by means
Of lantern slides, was for the most
part repetition of his former talk.
DR., Norman Hansen, the Danish ex.
plorer, who formerly supported Cook,
started trouble by loudly denouncing
Cook as a pure swndler, The climax
was reached when an alleged picture
of the North Pole was thrown upon
the screen. The audience was so hos
tile that Cook stopped mis- lecture and
withdrew. He was escorted by a
strong detachment Of police to his
hotel through the side streets.
On the return trip Cooks carriage
, was surrounded by a crowd, who
threw eggs and apples at the occu'
pants. The attitude of the people
was so threatening it was deemed
10 advisable to put police guard in the

GULF OF MEXICO
SHRIMP FISHERY

Shrimps are found in abundance in
the numerous shallow lagoons all
along the Gulf Coast The industry
has not been exploited on a large
scale or in a systematic manner. No
attempt has been made to improve the
quality or to increase the supply and
develop the industry. All efforts seem
to have been directed with the sole
object of supplying the local demands.
There ought to be a good and pay
ing market for fresh shrimp through
out this country for the people here
are very fond of them and prepare
dishes, by aid of other things, which
are really very grateful to the palate.
Care and consistent efforts would
largely increase the supply, which is
not sufficient at present to warrant
one in engaging in the expectation OF
the food Fresh shrimp, in small guam
titles, are always to be had, but the
greater part of the catch is slightly
cooked and then dried. In this state
the shrimp are generally marketed
and command good prices wherever
put on sale,
Shrmps are caught with nets and
the habitat of these crustaceans is co
termnOus with that of fish, oysters
and turtles. The operation is a sim
pie one, as in the shallow waters the
nets are easily handled and the eX
penses connected with the fishery are
extremely low.
The manner of preparing the dried
/ shrimp for the market is exceedingly
crude, and thus the quality of tho
product is much impaired by careless
/ handling, Improved methods woult
also raise the standard of quality anC
create a very large demand for them
not only in this country but also il
foreign parts.

the corporation.
Now that the suit has been fled,
however the public will not be dis.
posed to bubble over motives or con.
siderauons of delay, but will welcome
the prospect of a definition OF lle
steel trusts position. After alI, the
vitality important question before the
country is whether this corporation
works in effect in restraint of trade
to the end of increasing the prices ot
its products to the consumers wheth-
or it's profits are legitimately founded
upon genuine capitalization and
whether finally its present corpor-
ate form is an advantage to the Couu-
try or a disadvantage If the steel
trust is in violation of the antitrust
law its dissolution, perhaps, in the
manner prescribed in the court in the

No real harm can be done TO legti-
mate business by the filing of this
suit The government asks for no de-
struction of property, but rather for
its conservation. 1t is merely seeking
to compel one of the largest Of Amer
lean corporations to comply in rs
corporate form to the statutes. IN
view of all the circumstances the gov
eminent is proceeding conservatively,
and If business is injured by ITS
action it will probably be because
public confidence has been deliber-
ately shaken by speculative interests
intent upon running the stock market
to lower levels, or disturbed by the
proceedings of the very corporations
/ against which the administration has
moved.

The wholesale cutting down of ba-
mana trees and the removal of potted
plants under the impression that only
these growths were responsible for
the breeding of mosquitoes, places
Honolulu in about the fifteenth cen
fury.
We have been in Cuba, India and
China during epidemics, and in none
of these places could the tropical
growths be considered as very impor-
tant accessories to the disease.
In Havana, during a very. serious
outbreak of yellow fever, it was
shown as a positive fact that the trees
and plants rendered infinitely less as
sistance to the mosquitoes than did
other things. The duck ponds around
the Alamendares River constituted
the chief source of danger, and when
those ponds were attended to the
plague subsidized
In Bombay, the chief menace to the
public health lies in the closely-clus-
tered, ramshackle, illy-yentilated and
poorly-lighted houses in the native
quarter.
Honolulu is unhappily provided with
both evils! the duck ponds and taro
patches too close to town on one side,
and the filthy Oriental quarter on the
other. The city is yet to know how
serious these two sets of conditions
menace the public health.
The first impression of visitors, con
corning the beauties Of Honolulu seen

in evidence in the vicinity of the duck

One man, Eugene Augusta, a Porto

thirty-one others were saved, and
eight of these owe their lives to Miss
Martus, who rescued them on a pom
toon which they had cut away from
the dredge and upon which they were
being carried rapidly to sea when she
went to them in a launch and, getting
a line attached to the pontoon, towed
it back to her home at Tybee light.

at irregular intervals, the shrimps
swarm up the rivers and are then
caught in great numbers by the farm
ers, who prepare them for the mar
ket. However, their arrival is some
what problematical, and too much de-
pendence must not be placed upon
what may have occurred in other
years. Shrimps are also used as fish
bait, both dry and live ones being
used, as the fish bite greedily at
either.
The shrimps from the Gulf coast
are of good size, generally fully three
inches in length and frequently eX-
ceeding this measurement. They are
much larger than those caught on the
British coast and the north Atlantic
coast of the United States, They are
in fine condition the year round, and
may be caught in the lagoons any sea-
son of the year without fear of inter
ruption by northers, at least not for
more than a day or so during any
time of the year.
No attempt has been made to supply
regularly the domestic market, much
lass to build up an export trade There
seems to be no difficulty in extending
the former and building up fine for
eign trade.
The fishing rights regarding shrimps
are in the hands of the Federal Gov
eminent; they may be obtained at
small outlay. Were attempts made to
develop the fish and oyster business,
/ the same concession would cover the
three lines and reduce expenses con
siderably in the aggregate.

There is nothing i'm the least sur

haliug the steel trust into court after
having secured decisions by The
United States Supreme Court on the
legality Of such corporations as he
Standard Oil Company and the Amer
lean Tobacco Company. Between
those two trusts and the steel corpo-
ration there may be a difference dis
cernible by the courts, but i'm the eve
of the public the three combinations
have stood in the same category and

There is nothing in the case as pre-
scented to the court that might not

only surprising fact about the steel
trust suit is that it has been so long
in the Offering The consolidation Of
the steel plants which formed the
physical property of the corporation
