Former Pole Explorer Says Evidence of Two Are Identical. San Jose. Maurice Connell, observ er at the United States weather bu reau here and a member of the Gree ley North Pole expedition, defends Dr. Frederick A. Cook from the at tack made by Walter Wellman Mr. Connell declared that instead of hav ing to take food from Annatok, a dis tance of "00 miles, to the pole, the Cook party killed so much game dur ing the first part of the Journey that when reaching Cape Hubbard, 400 miles from the Pole, they had a greater quantity of supplies than when they started from Annatok. The fact that Cook, three days out from Capk Hubbard, cut down his party to two Eskimos and 26 picked dogs, ac cording to Connell, is further reason why he could have made better and unimpeded progress. "In a country where supplies can not be replenished," saidConnell. "the fewer the men and dogs used the few i r loads they are to haul." "Wellman tells us that he could manufacture a latitude observation at any time. Certainly that Is not very convincing," adds Connell. "But i.'oi.k could not well manufacture a time observation or a longitude ob servation neither could he manufac ture magnetic variations and above all, how could he state whether the north pole was en land or on sea un less he had been there? "If anything was needed to con firm Cook's claim that he reached the pole In April, 130S, Peary's narrative of the Journey made by himself In 1 .ion would confirm it. Cook stated that no land exists at the pole; so says Peary. Cook stated that the ice fl ies were of larger extent and smoother as the pole was neared, and that there were fewer pressure ridges; so says Peary. Peary in every detail confirms Cook, even to the peculiar color of the ice at the pole." WILLIE HOPPE WILL .MEET OR A MORN1XGSTAR New York.

In addressing the court Yes terday regarding the cases John Mc Court, United States district attorney, mentioned the Vert case In a manner that indicates he will be fined heavily. The case against R. E. Porter was posiponeu. With the exception of two men all I the defendants returned to this city th's morning as likewise did Judge James A. Fee who was legal represen. tative. In discussing the case today one of the defendants said: "We feel that the cases were all un justly brought, yet w considered it cheaper and more satisfactory to enter pleas of guilty and be fined than to contest the cases. We would hare been forced to bring witnesses from all over the country and it would have cost a small fortune to have taken the cases through the courts." PROTECT IBEX. Baker Man Finds Herd In Mountains. Spokane, Wash. Sportsmen In Spokane and throughout the north west will give W. R. Parker of Ba ker City., Ore., every support In his efforts to secure a state or federal protection for a herd of ibex on Mount Eagle In Oregon. Parker ad vocates the creation of a preserve on the mountain so that the only known band of ibex on the continent may be saved from slaughter. He has hunt ed big game In eastern Oregon for years and possesses wide knowledge of the trails and canyons In the moun tains, and believes that since the hount of the herd is known to others the animals ought to be protected to prevent extinction. When he first announced the presence of the band In the mountains some of the veteran hunters asked for proof, which was forthcoming by Parker bringing out a dead buck, doe and fawn. Parker looks upon the ibex as a big asset In a sporting way for the entire north west.

I had not gone to sleep yet whoa I heard the firemen shouting in front of the house and we all got out. The first we know about the cow and the lamp was when we read about it. Father and mother died sad at heart over that world-strewn fake."
