Police Inspector McCain
Chicago, Sept. 11. Payment of
bribe money to Edward McCann while
he was inspector of police at the Des
plainea street station for the protec
tion of Illegal establishments was tes
tified to under oath in Judge Barnes'
court by Louis Frank, a member of
the saloon firm of Frank Brothers, and
one of the principal witnesses for the
state. This testimony was given after
two attempts of attorneys for the de
fense to free McCann on technicalities
had been frustrated.
Frank testified that he first met Mc
Cann in the inspector's office at the
Desplalnes street police station, In
March, 1908, through Police Sergeant
Charles Hawkins, and' that later the
Inspector sent for him. He described
his visit to the inspector In response
to this request and testified that in
his office the police official asked him
to collect money which the proprieto
-of Illegal establishments would bring
to him.
"What was the agreement," asked
State's Attorney Wayman.
"They were to pay me $20 from
each house," replied the witness.
"Who did they hand the money to?"
"To myself, or my brother, or the
bookkeeper."
"When did collections commence?"
"The first of each month."
"Where did you deliver the money?
"At the polite station to McCann."
In answer to ' the next question
I;rank said McCann told hhn on one
occasion that he had to be careful, as
"they" were after him.
"What did the defendant say?" ask
d Mr. Wayman.
"Don't pin any more slips onto the
money, as you have been doing. Give
me the money separately and make
out your own record."

CHEESES BY GliEAT CROWDS.
Leaves Christiansand on Scandinavian
Liner Oscar II Says He Is Willing
to Put His Records Before American
People, but Does Not See Why He
Should Ask. for a Comparison With
Commander Peary First.
Christiansand, Sept. 11. Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook arrived here today oa
the yacht Meichlor from Copenhagen
and boarded the steamship Oscar II.,
which took up anchor and steamed
for the United States as soon as Dr.
Cook had been transferred to her
deck. The Oscar II. is scheduled to
arrive in New York Sept. 21. Dr.
Cook began the journey homeward
apparently happy and confident and
with the cheer3 of a great crowd ring
ing in his ears.
Before the gangplank of the yacht
was drawn up there was a pleasant
ceremony in the cabin, which was at
tended by Maurice F. Egan, the Amer
ican minister, and Miss Egan, the
rector of the University of Copen
hagen and a number of geographers.
Admiral Deklchelieu, in a speech,
thanked Dr. Cook for returning tc the
United States under the Danish flag.
"Green-eyed envy and' jealousy," the
admiral said, "are doing their en
venomed work, but we in Denmark
believe in you absolutely. '
"I want to thank you," said Dr.
Cook, in reply, "for the great honor
that is mine in going home on a Dan
ish steamer. Since I cannot reach
home on an American steamer or an
expedition vessel, it is fitting that I
should go on a steamer of the land
which has given me such happy days.
You have made my return so happy
that the tortures of the past are for
gotten. You have been my friends;
you have fought niy battles. I say
farewell to the people of Denmark."
Speaking to a reporter, Dr. Cook
said: "I am perfectly willing to put
my records before the American peo
pie, but I do not see why I should
ask for a comparison with Commander
Peary first."

himself will be on board, together
with the members of the Peary Arctic

will be in New York city at the time,
but the celebration committee regards
it as unlikely thnt he wiil be Invited
