Reception at Copenhagen.
Copenhagen, Sept. I. Dr. Frederick
A. Cook's credit stands so high with.
Danish polar experts that the Ilrst
message announcing his success In
reaching the North Pole, meager as It
was, was accepted as conclusive
Commodore Hovgaard said:
"I believe the message Is truo be
cause Dr Cook Is most trustworthy
and opposed to all exaggeration."
C. A. Nielsen, an orticlnl of tho
Croon land administration department,
who is well acquainted with Dr. Cook,
and was associated with him in Green
land, said:
"When Dr. Cook says that ho reach
ed the North Polo there can bo no
doubt about it. ills scientific dis
coveries will prove that."
A committee under the presidency
of the minister of commerce has been
formed to arrange a littlng reception
to the Intrepid exploier on his arrlvnl
at Copenhagen. Dr. Maurice F. Egan,
tho American minister, will be aboard
a special steamer that will bo sont
out by the Royal Geographical society
to meet Dr. Cook, who ' on his way

White Steamers Use Kerosene as Fuel
TIIC WHITE STEAMER WHICH

'I no most Interesting announce
ment ever mnile In connection with
the automobile Industry was un
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago lo the effect that the now models
of tho Whlto Steam Cars could bo run
on keroseno, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Kveryono at once recog
nized that tho uso of the now fool
would add materially to the advan
tages which tho Whlto a'ready pos
sessed over othor types of cars.
There wero some people, however,
who wero sceptical as to whether or
not tho new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, tho
mnkers of the White Car, tho Whlto
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to mako a public demonstra
tion of tho new fuel in tho 1909 Gild
den Tour.
From tho standpoint of tho public,
no test moro satisfactory could havo
been selected. First of all, tho dis
tance covered on tho Glldden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansns City, was 2G50 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still moro important was
the fact that tho car was at all times
whllo on tho road tinder tho supervi
sion of observers named by thoso
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, It would have been impos
sible for tho driver of tho Whito to
havo even tightened a bolt without
tho fact being noted and a penalty in
flicted. At night tho cars were
guarded by Plnkorton dotectlves and
could not bo approached by any ono.
