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." Democratic League Begins Work. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 11.

' "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."
