COPENHAGEN UNIVERSITY PRO CLAIMS HIS FAILURE. BRADLEY VERY MUCH DISGUSTED The Explorer Falls to Make Coed When Hie Records Are Investi gated by the Learned Men of Denmark. Copenhagen. The University of Copenhagen , the first institution of learning to recognize Dr. Frederick A. Cook as the discoverer of the north pole , Tuesday solemnly declared that the explorer had failed to establish the claim on which hla high honors had been based. The committee appointed by the university to examine Cook's records recently presented Its report to the consistory of the university , which re viewed the deductions of the experts with the greatest care and discussed the ( hidings from every standpoint. That both the committee and the con- History wore disappointed was soon known. The consistory met Tuesday and adopted a written report to the effect that the alleged records submitted for examination by Dr. Cook failed to prove his claim. The report of the committee , of which Professor Stromgren was chair man , as presented to the consistory , states that Cook's papers are without any value ; that his report to the uni versity Is practically as that pub lished In the New York Herald on his return from his arctic expedition. The copies of his notebooks sub mitted , says the committee , contain no original calculations of observations , but only results thereof. Accordingly the committee concludes that he af fords no proof of having reached the polo. Now York. News that the Univer sity of Copenhagen had declined to ac cept Dr. Cook's claim that ho had reached the north pole came as no surprise to scientific circles here and to many of his friends who had been prepared for the result by the early Indications that the claims would not bo favorably passed on. Dr. Cook is now in Christiansand , Norway , according to William L. Cook , his brother. Dr. Cook mysteriously left the Hotel Grammatan in the Bronx November 21 , whore ho had gone to prepare his records supporting his claim that ho had reached the north polo. It now appears that ho sailed November 27 on the steamship Caronlo for Naples , whore ho remained for several days. This Information was contained In a letter the explorer sent to his brother , who said : "Dr. Cook has authorized me to an nounce that ho is in Europe trying to gain a much needed rest and that Is all I can say. At the proper time my brother will make a statement for publication and until ho sees fit to dose so there will bo nothing for his friends to do but respect Ills wishes and al low him to remain In seclusion. " "Ho lias fooled us all , from the king of Denmark down , " was the exclama tion of John R. Bradley , Dr. Cook's backer In his arctic trip , when ap prised of the news from Copenhagen. "And ho fooled me with the rest , " Mr. Bradley added. "As a matter of fact , " continued the sportsman , "I long ago lost all In terest In Dr. Cook , the north polo and everything connected with it. Polar bears and the wild life of the arctic in general are the only things that have over interested mo much in that connection. "As for Dr. Cook , I haven't seen him or heard from him since he left the Waldorf-Astoria to go to Bronxvlllo to 'prepare his records' for submission to the University of Copenhagen. 1 wasn't in communication with him while ho was at the Cramnmtan and , as a matter of fact , hardly had an hour's solid conversation with him all the while ho was hero after his re turn from the Arctic. "I discounted this decision from the University of ( \v 2nlmgen some tlmo ago , " continued Mr. Bradley. "In com mon with the rest of the world , I was delighted with the first news from Dr. Cook that ho had discovered the pole. Ills actions , however , and his failure to make more than the meagre state ments regarding his trip which early followed his return to civilization took some of the smack off of the supposed triumph. "I began to weaken decidedly when Dr. Cook loft us all without so much as a word of good-bye. When a man runs away you can't expect his friends to light for him , and Cook's flight for that's what it seemed to amount to killed all my Interest in him and his affairs. Before that I had never had reason to doubt Cook , and his whole course In thls\matter seems inexplicable - explicable to mo. Brldgman Knew It. "From my personal knowledge of Dr. Cook and my knowledge of the work In the Arctic , I never wavered In my belief that Dr. Cook could never prove the claims ho made , " said Her bert L. Brldgman , secretary of the Peary Arctic club , when Informed of the verdict of the Copenhagen scien tists. "I thoroughly believed In the story of Peary and the Esquimaux that Cook had not gone far north. Again Dr. Cook's story was filled with holes so that anyone who had knowledge of Arctic conditions could plainly see that no faith could be placed in it. " NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CiTY Items of Interest Around the State House Street Car Merger. A preliminary argument was heard by the railway commission Monday In the matter of County Attorney Tyr- roll's compjalnt against the merger of the Traction company and the Citi zens' Street Hallway company or Lin coln. coln.Ono Ono result was the consent ol the Traction company to an Investigation af Itu physical valuation and service by fadward II. Uemis , an accountant who spent two years investigating the fltrcet car company of Cleveland , O. Mr. Tyrrell sent for Mr. Bemls. Mr.Allen _ , of the Traction company , look the position that the face value of stock amounted to nothing , that It was worth what investors cared to pay after they had looked into the com pany's affairs , and that the value placed upon It might be too low or Lee high. The light of the railway commission to order stock cancelled is questioned and no such power by the commission has been shown. Mr. Tyrrell alleges that the com pany Is not worth the value of the Traction company and the Citizens' company combined. "Onu horse may work single and-tlus other may not work double , " he said. "The two companies were getting along fairly well In single harness and no complaint was made. When tin companies were put in double harness people had to wait half an hour for a. car and no heat is provided in cars. I assort that the consolidated com pany is not worth as much as the sum of the two car companies. Let them make good their capital stock before Issuing more stock. " The physical value of the' Traction company as determined hy the railway - way commission , was $1,400,000. The company had stock outstanding to the amount of over $1,000,000 , but It Is claimed to have put into the plant $2- 500,000 in all. The commission will await the tes timony of Mr. Bemis before it acts. Mr. Bemls is now in the city and will got to work at once. Mr. Tyrrell in his complaint asks that the merger lie dissolved , that bet ter service be granted and the stock heretofore Issued bo cancelled. Mr. Allen alleges that the commission has ? c'iieral control of street railways , that it can determine the rates . to bo charged and the service rendered and that the public is not interested in the amount of stock Issued. It the commission will determine the rate it matters not to the public what amount of stock is issued because the value of the stock Is made by the judg ment of investors. Mr. Tyrrell alleges that the company must make good , its capital stock be fore it Issues additional stock ; that its stock has been issued in violation of law and that if additional stock is Issued it will not be sold on the open market at the market value , but will uo sold secretly to unwary investors. State Collects Nearly $70,000. , State Treasurer Junkin lias collect ed ? C9,020.25 as a result of the state occupation tax law passed by tlve last legislature. The act was Introduced by King of Polk , u republican. This col'ectlon includes $25,835.30 paid under dor protest by more than GOO corpora tions. It also inclining penalties for failure to pay on time. i Some alleged that the secretary of state lui'l no right to accept fees under protest. lie did so and will now be obliged to pay such fees into the state treasury. The constitution of the state 'provides that all fees shall be paid in advance to the state treasurer , but 'this ' provision has been ignored con- jsiderably since the conviction of Audi tor Eugene Moore for embezzlement. In the Moore case the supreme court reversed the conviction on the ground that Moore had not embezzled public funds , the constitution requiring the state fees to bo paid In advance to the 'state treasurer and not to any state olllcor. The state occupation tax law appears to net aside the constitution In that it permits tne secretary ot .state to accept fees. ' The collection of fCfl.02C.25 by the secretary of state under the state oc cupation tax law will bo Increased a few hundred dollars If the secretary accepts all the money that has been offered by delinquents , He is accept ing such funds and will continue to ac cept all that Is offered till about the first of the year. Appeals to Supreme Court. The question whether or not the Omaha tire and police commission can grant n , license beyond May 25 , 1910 , when their terms expire , has been ap pealed to the supreme court. The case of Peter Johnson has been ap pealed. The board granted him a li cense from January 1 , 1910 , to Jan uary 1 , 1911 , and the anti-saloon league appealed the case. District Judge Leo Estello decided that the board could grant a license for any period within Its term of office and January 1 , 1910 and January 1 , 1911 , both being within that term he nolithat the li cense could bo issued.

WHAT PREGIDENT TAFT AND OTHERS THINK OF CANADA. Another Fat Year for the Canadian West. Our Canadian neighbors to the north are again rejoicing over an abundant harvest , and reports from reliable sources go to show that the total yield of 190D will he far above that of any other year. It la estimated that $100,000,000 will this year go into the pockets of the Western farmers from wheat alone , another $60,000,000 from oats and harley , while returns from other crops and from stock will add $40- 000,000 more. la it any wonder then that the farmers of the Canadian West are .happy ? Thousands of American farmers have Bottled in the above mentioned provinces during the past year ; men who know the West and its possibili ties , and who also know perhaps bet ter than any other r.ooplo , the best methods for profitable farming. President Tnft said recently in speaking of Canada : "Wo have been going ahead so rapIdly - Idly in our own country that our heads have been somewhat swelled with the Idea that wo are carrying on our shoul ders all the progress there is in the world. Wo have not been conscious that there is on the north a young country and a young nation that is looking forward , as it well mayto a great national future. They have 7,000,000 people , but the country is still hardly scratched. " Jas. J. Hill speaking before the Canadian Club of Winnipeg a few days ago said : "I go back for 53 years , when I came West from Canada. At that time Canada had no North-West. A young boy or man who desired to carve his own way had to cross the line , and to-day it may surprise you one out of every flvo children born in Canada lives in the United States. Now you are playing the return match , and the North-West is getting people from the United States very rapidly. We brought 100 land-seekers , mainly from Iowa and Southern Minnesota , last night out of St. Paul , going to the North-West. Now , these people have all the way from five , ten to twenty thousand dollars each , and they will make as much progress on the land in one year as any one man coming from the Continent of Europe can make , doIng - Ing the best he can , in ten , fifteen , or twenty years. " It is evident from the welcome given American settlers in Canada that the Canadian people appreciate them. Writing from Southern Alberta recently an American farmer says : "We are giving them .some new Ideas about being good farmers , and they are giving us some new ideas about being good citizens. They have a law against taking liquor into the Indian Reservation. One of our fol lows was caught on a reservation with a bottle on him , and it cost him $50. Ope of the Canadian Mounted Police found him , and let me tell you , they find everyone who tries to go up against the laws of the country. "On Saturday night , every bar-room is closed , at exactly ,7 o'clock. Why ? Because it is the law , and it's tic same with every other law. There Isn't a bad man in the whole district , and a woman can come homo from town to the farm at midnight if she wants to , alone. That's Canada's idea how to run a frontier ; they have cer tainly taught us a lot. "On the other hand , wo are running their farms for them better than any other class of farmers. I guess I can say this without boasting , and the Caandians appreciate us. We turn out to celebrate Dominion Day ; they nro clad to hnvo na lioln to farm the country ; they know howto , govern ; wo know how to work. " Another farmer , from Minnesota , who settled In Central Saskatchewan some years ago , has the following to say about the country : "My wife and I have done well enough since wo came from the States ; wo can live anyway. Wo came in the spring of 1901 with the first carload of settlers' effects unloaded in these parts and hullt the first shanty hetween Sas katoon and Lumsden. Wo brought with our car of settlors' effects the sum of $1800 in cash , to-day we arc worth $40,000. Wo 'proved up' one of the finest farms in Western Canada and bought 320 acres at $3 per acre. We took good crops off the land for four years , at the end of which wo had $8000 worth of improvements in the way of buildings , etcS , and had planted three acres of trees. Two years ago wo got such a good offer that wo sold our land at $45 per acre. From the above you will ECO that wo have not done badly since , our ar rival. " Prof. Thomas Shaw of St Paul , Min nesota , with a number of other well known editors of American farm jour nals , t'ourod Western Canada recently , and in an Interview at Winnipeg said in part : "With regard to the settlement of the West 1 should say that It is only well begun. I have estimated that in Manitoba one-tenth of the land has been broken , in Saskatchewan one- thirtieth and In Albora , ono-hundrei and seventy-fifth. I am satisfied that In all three provinces grain can be grown successfully up to the sixtieth parallel and in the years to como youn vacant land will bo taken at a rate of which you have at present no con ception. We have enough people in the United States alone , who wnnt homes , to take up this land. "What you must do in Western Can ada is to ralso more llvo stock. When you arc doing what you ought to do in this regard , the land which in now Boiling for $20 per aero will b * worth from $50 to $100 pro aero. It is as good land as that which ie colling for more than $100 per aero in the corn belt " 1 would rather ralso cattle in West ern Canada than in the corn belt of .ho United States. You can got your oed cheaper and the climate Is bet- .er for the purpose. Wo hove a bet- or market , but your market will im prove faster than your farmers will iroduco the supplies. Winter wheat can he grown in ono-half of the coun- , ry through which I have passed , and alfalfa and ono of the varieties ot clover in three-fourths of it. The farmers do not bcllovo this , but it is true. " Keeping pace with wheat produc tion , the growth of railways has been quite as wonderful , and the whole country from Winnipeg to the Rocky Mountains will soon bo a not-work of trunk and branch lines. Three grea\ transcontinental lines are pushing construction in every direction , and at each siding the grain elevator isLe Lo bo found. Manitoba being the first settled province , has now an elevator - vator capacity of upwards of 25,000,000 bushels , Saskatchewan 20,000,00 , and Alberta about 7,000,000 , while the ca pacity of elevators at Fort William ind Port Arthur , on the Great Lakes , is upwards of 20,000,000 more. Within the provinces of Manitoba , Saskatchewan and Alberta there are flour and oatmeal mills with a com bined capacity of 26,000 barrels per day , and situated along some famous water powers in Now Ontario , there are larger mills than will be found anywhere in the Pralrio Provinces. Last year the wheat crop totaled over 100,000,000 bushels. This year the crop will yield 30,000,000 more. A recent summary shows that on the 1st of January , 1909 , the surveyed lands of the three western provinces , totaled 134,000,000 acres , of which about 32- 000.000 have been given as subsidies to railways , 11,000,000 disposed of In oth er ways and 38,000,00 given by the Canadian Government as free home steads , being 236,000 homesteads ot 160 acres each. Of this enormous ter ritory , there is probably under crop at the present time less than 11,000- 000 acres ; what the results will be when wide awake settlers have taken advantage of Canada's offer and are cultivating the fertile pralrio lands , one can scarcely imagine.
