GREETED IN DENMARK
Greenland Explorer and Companion Re
ceiye Gold Medals From the King.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Aug. 2.-Cap-
tain Ejnar Mikkelsen, the Danish Artic
explorer, and the engineer, lversen, who
accompanied him, both of whom We're
rescued on July IL last on the coast OF
Greenland by Norwegian fishing ves-
sci, arrived here today and were gre. ted
by enormous crowds. The two explor-
ers who had spent more than two years
in Greenland, which they started to
cross in the summer of 1910, after dis
covering the depot left by Mylius Erich
sen, who, with two companions mad
perished in Greenland in 1908, were gen
orally thought to have died in Green.
land. Their arrival on July 27 at Aales-
und, Norway, caused considerable sur
prise and the relation of their terrible
hardships and their almost miraculous
rescue by Norwegian fishermen reused
the greatest interest here and through
out the world. Captain Mikkelsen aud
engineer Iversen were late this afternoon
received by the king at the palace, when
his majesty conferred gold medal on
each of them.

PRACTICALLY GIVES UP CASE.
Snodgrass Girls Death Has Not Been
Explained-Can Didn't Contain Ether.

Catskill, n. Y. Aug 2.--Greene coun-
ty officials last night admitted that they
were at standstill in their efforts to
lmravel the mystery OF the death of Miss
Dorcas |. Snodgrass, the Mount Vernon
nurse whose dead body was found in
Dubois creek here last Sunday.
District Attorney Wilbur said that the
officials had followed up every clue but
/ been able to learn nothing to shed light
OH the mystery.
II was informed to-day" said Mr..
Wilbur. "that Miss Snodgrass' sister,
Mrs. John i. Crider, left Mount Vernon
to day fer California, and that she was
satisfied that no suspicious circumstances
surrounded her sisters death. In view
OF that fact, | can see no reason for
an additional expenditure of the county's
money unless something tangible devel-
ops. We shall, of course, continue to
investigate anything that seems to point
TO solution"
The district attorney added that Dr.
Rooney of Albany has reported that the
can labeled "ether," found yesterday in
Dubois creek, contained only some petro-
lcum product, probably metal polish
DISCHARGED by some yachtsman"; and
that the presence of rough appearing
man on lonely country road, about
the time of the nurses disappearance,
had been explained"

BRIT0NS FIND FAULT.
Not Only With Their Own Poor Showing
But Methods of Others.

/ London, Aug 2-The continued agi.
tation over Great Britain's poor showing
in the Olympic games at Stockholm
| brought about meeting last right of
| the athletic advisory club to, consider
the situation. Lord Desborough, who
presided, said that ii Great Britain COM
| peted at Berlin where the next 0ly.m
pic games are to be held. she must take
the games as seriously as the other an
tions. He advocated team representing
the entire empire in the track events.
Lord Desborough said that England
had not done badly In her palmiest days
but could not do better against a marvel
like Kolehmainen. The Finn did so
well, said he, that ] would not be sur
iprised to see him running for the Uni
ted States at Berlin"
Lord Desborough proposed that a fund
of S25 be raised in each of the next three
years and $4,000 the fourth year he
used for preparations. A letter from Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle was read, anuoune.
ing that he will appeal to the public for
Sl25.000 for the same purpose.
The Rev. r. S. Decoureey LaFan,' a
member of the British Olympic commit
tee, proposed that Sl50y000 be raised. He
said that a Swedish trainer told him
that If he had had the British athletes
for three months the Americans would
have stood no chance.
]. G. Merrick, president of the Athletic
union in Canada, and secretary of the
Canadian Olympic committee, declared
that ii the same care were taken in ath-
letics, as in rowing and football, and if
the Olympic winners were held in q ) high
regard as in the United States. Canada
and Great Britain could produce as good
a team as the United States.
The most exaggerated impressions pre-
vail in England regarding the American
Olympic team. Enormous sums were
spent and an army OF trainers were car
ried according TO the British newspapers.
Lord Desborough is quoted as saving
that the running track and swimming
tank constructed abroad the steamer
Finland for the Americans. cost 100000.
The solemn Blackwoods magazine prints
an editorial under the head "Ihe Folly
of International Sport" which is the
fiercest attack upon the Americans that
has yet appeared. 1t accuses them Of be-
ing professionals whose only business
is to show that these United States tan
whip the universe"
The editorial continues:
'ln the train Of the heroes came a
vast army of rooters. a peculiar adjunct
to athleticism happily unknown among
Englishmen. We saw them four vears
ago, and do not cherish pleasant mem
DRY of their antics. 1t is the business
of the rooters to encourage their cham
pions and to prove their disgust at every
success not won under the Stars and
Stripes. To this end they came armed
with tin trumpets and unseeming things
called college yells."
The editorial concludes by advocating
that the Olympic games be abandoned.
