TURKS PARLIAMENT
 IS WAXING WESTERN

Constantinople. April 1.-tSpecial)- The Turkish parliament is rapidly ac quiring western customs. Tsmail Renal Bey. leader of the moderate liberal party, having reiterated the opinion. based on the offers made to the old regime by a British syndicate, that the Bagdad railway could have been con- structed without a kilometric guaran- tee, continued. with reference to an in situation made by local newspaper with regard to the motives forssup- porting the concession, in the followin g words: T consider that in attempting to save the country s20,000,000 I acted more periodically than those who all lowed a foreign railway company to prey upon it's resources"
 The remar rlk was taken up as a per sonal insult by the grand vizier. who rushed forward and seized the deputy by the arms. While Halil Bey and Ia laat Bey were attempting to intervene Dervish Bey, committee deputy for Seres. coming from behind struck Is mail Kemal heavily on the head. Anne q Riza suspended the sitting and owing to the efforts of the party leaders Der wish Bey was persuaded to kiss the Albanian deputy's hand and beg his pardon. The grand vizier was then with some difficulty prevailed upon to apologize to the deputy for Berat

firmed from independent sources, three of the gang have been arrested, 1nd the police are now engaged in careful search for cab driver who is said to have manufactured the circular saws used by the gang in their attempt to gain entry to the strong room contain ing over $125,0o0.
 Among the men arrested is young fellow engaged in the drawing depart ment of the ministry of marine at q salary of $50 a month. He was somehow able to keep a pony and carriage, was lavish in regard to dress, wore costly iewelry and frequented the gambling dens of the city. One of his female friends is also under arrest. She is well known to the police as an export thief A clerk of the bank, who was at first arrested, and then released, has been re-arrested. He also, though earn ing only $3 a week. lived extravagantly when out of doors. He is the son of a cook and with his mother and sister and two brothers lived in miserable tene- ment.
 There was a dramatic scene when the informer was confronted with the man Ella, employed at the ministry of ma rine. This man, the police are certain, is the chief of big gang of burglars. Ella confessed that three months ago he proposed that the informer, whose name

COOK SAYS HE DID
 NOT GET GREAT PROFIT

were losing their enthusiasm, I voluntarily freed them of the contract.
 Much criticism has been hurled at me because I started on lecture cam paign when 1 should have prepared my data and submitted proof. At that time l was in no position to anticipate or un- derstand this criticism. Every explorer for 50 years had done the same thing, all had delivered lectures and written articles about their work after first pre- liminary report.
 My family needed money. Huge sums were offered me hourly; I would have been a fool had I not accepted some of the offers. I am advised that stories of enormous lecture profits have been told. I am informed that the newspapers said I was to receive s25.000 for going to St. Louis. The truth Is that I got less than half that. All told, I delivered about 20 lectures in various large cities, receiv- ing from s100O to s10,000 per lecture. My expenses were heavy, so that in the end I netted less than s25,000. When I de- termined to stop the lecture work and prepare my data cancelled s140,0o0 worth of lecture engagements"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-02

That he did not scheme to exploit his Arctic experience, that the reports of enormous earnings were grossly exag- gerated are statements made by Dr. Frederick A. Cook in the installment of his own story in the March Hamp tons. pr. Cook shows that he ignored offers aggregating s1,000.0o0.
 Were I the calculating monster of cupidity which some believe me-" says pr. Cook. T suppose I should have been more curcumspect in making my financial arrangements. 1 should hardly have sold my narrative story to MT James Gordon Bennett for s25,000, for instance when there were single offers of s50,0o0, s75,000, s100,000 and more for 1t. What MT. Bennett asked and of fered s25.000 was a series of four articles on adventures in the north, for use in the Sunday supplement of the Herald. l had no such articles prepared at the time, nor, as l knew, should l have time to write them. l did have the narrative story of my tri, which con- sisted of 25000 to 30,000 words, com plete. I decided when I heard the first reports of doubt to promptly publish my narrative story as evidence of the sincerity of my claim. So I gave this to MT. Bennett for a sum offered purely for Sunday articles. Mir. Bennett of fered me s5000 additional for the Euro pean rights of this story. To this offer l made no reply. giving MT. Bennett the sole news rights of the story for the entire world.
 s By the time I left Copenhagen, as I figured later. offers for book and g. azine material and lectures aggregated just one and one-half million dollars. A prominent New York manager made an offer of s250,000 for a series of lee lures.
 After making my arrangement with MT. Bennett, while still in Copenhagen, the Matin of Paris sent me an offer Of s5O00O for the serial rights of a French transla ton of the story. which was to appear in the Herald. This included q lecture under the auspices of the paper in Paris. My desire to show my appre- citation of the hospitality of the Danes by returning to America on a Danish boat prevented my considering this offer seriously. The oscar II was a slow boat. I could have gone to Paris, delivered the lecture, and returned to New York by a fast boat, arriving there just as soon as the oscar II, and have gained this s50,000
 "T made a contract with a New York publishing house with the idea of get ting out my book and all proofs possible as soon as the presses would allow in view of an imminent controversy. For the English and American rights to my book l was to receive s150,000 in a lump sum and additional royalties which, It was estimated, would run up to another s15o000. Although papers were signed for this. later on when things seemed turn lns against me and saw the publishers

Six Carloads of Chickens

From the Chicago Examiner.
 Thirty thousand chickens passed through western cities recently from -,e- braska to San Francisco. The fowls were sidetracked' at various points and were viewed by many people The ship ment was made by J. G. Gaeschin, who owns a number of poultry houses in diff ferent parts of Nebraska. It consisted of six carloads. every car carrying approx inlately 5000 fowls.
 Each car had a keeper who gave the birds constant attention and saw that they were properly fed and watered. The trip is usually made in eight days, but Tn this instance it took 15 days on account of snow.
