COPENIIAGKN, Dec. 21. The
coimnittee which has been Investigat
ing the data of Dr. Frederick A.
Cook today oflldally reported to the
consistory of the University of Cop
enhagen that Dr. Cook's records and
observations nre wholly Insullieient
to warrant the verdict that he dis
covered the North Pole.
The report was adopted by the
Consistory, thereby rejecting Dr.
Cook's claims and throwing out all
of his data, which, according to re
ports, is no more convincing titan
accounts previously published in 111
newspn pers.
'Mr. Lonsdale, Dr. Cook's p.iva;c
secretary, who represented the ex
plorer here, is bitterly disappoint!
at the report of the investigators.
He is 'making an effort to Induce
the Consistory to withhold Hnai
judgment until the whole of Cook's
data can be presented. Lonsdale
told the committee that the mi-fing
data forming a part of Cook's orig
inal documents, have been sent from
America by a route different from
that by which the records already
examined here were brought, lie
says the additional data will anive
here in a few days. The object In
dividing the data and routing it dif
ferent ways, Lonsdale explained,'
was to afford proper protection.
The Consistory refused to pay any
attention to Lonsdale's appeal, and
its findings announced today Is final
60 far as that body is concerned.

Council to Take Initiative
Toward Bond Issue
TO EXHAUST $75,000 LIMIT
Pelllion For Another Sight Officer
Denied Expertlng Measure
Sllll Hangs Fire
A controversy over a SCO leenl
fee and action on Ave petitions wore
the features of a three-quarter hour
meeting of tho city council Monday
night. Tho bill for legal services
was presented by Attorneys John T.
Long and F. G. Micelll for represent
ing the city In the case of Senator
Albert Abraham, who unsuccessfully
contested the valldltly of the ordin
ance under which tie was licensed
$10 for practicing law. After several
minutes of argument the claim was
allowed In the full sum of $50.
Two ordinances were given final
readings, but only one was passed.
This one has for its object the pro
tection of the pavement from unnec
essary mutilation. The other ordin
ance provldos a maximum appropria
tion of $500 for exporting the city's
financial records of the past eight
years. A majority of the council re
fused to allow the measure to be
placed on Its flnnl passage, fearing
defeat for It by the adverse votes of
two of the eight councllnien present.
More Paving Wanted.
The most Important of the Ave pe
titions wblch were received by the
council asked for another 'bond Isbuo,
this time in the sum of $40,000, for
tiie extension of street paving. It Is
the wish of the petitioners that, if
their prayer Is granted, the procedure
be the same as that w'hlch governed
the first paving Issue of $115,000.
Hence, they did not want their peti
tion regarded as an initiative docu
ment, but only as a recommendation.
The council, in repeating former pro
cedure, would have to take the for
mal Initiative Itself, declaring Its In
tention of floating 'bonds and then
call a special election to allow the
citizens to either ratify or reject the
proposal.
Without a dissenting vote the
council grunted the petition, and
Mayor Ilaynes instructed City Attor
ney Neuner to draft the required or
dinance to start the project. The
petition is signed by Bcores of local
citizens, exclusively property ownerB.
While non-freeholders mny vote at
any municipal election, the promoters
of the proposed Issue decided that a
petition from property owners exclu
sively would carry more weight with
the council In a question Involving
such a largo Bum as $40,000. This
amount added to the existing paving
Issue of $35,000 will exhauat the
$75,000 limit prescribed by the
charter. The petition mnko no
suggestions as to what particular
streets should be paved.
Where I'nviliK Ih Wunted.
Another of the flv petitions to
the council, anticipating a second
bond Issue, asking for the laying of
bltullthic pavement on Stephens
street, from Cass to Blakeley, In the
Waite Addition, a distance of 11 and
3-4 blocks .The petitioners, property
owners directly affected by tho pro
posed Improvement, make their
prayer conditional upon the city pay'
ng 50 per ctnt of the cost.
Thta petition was luld oil the
table upon the suggestion of Mayor
HiiyneB, who pointed out that th
council would be in no position to act
on it until a bond Issue was author
ized.
No IMrii Night Officer.
A third petition to the council waB
from business men and residents of
lower Caaa and Sheridan HI reels
asking for the appointment of an
other night policeman to patrol that
section of the city, which borders
the railroad yards. A fourth, bear
ing 87 signatures, asked that the
appointment fnll to Ch lit. L. B
KnausH. who at present acts ai
special night patrolman on part of
JackBon and Main mrcetB ana tne
connecting west blork of Cbsb, re
ceiving from prlvnto Buliscrlptlon
$40 ner month. The petition asked
the council lo extend Knauss's beat
so as to Include RoBe and lower Cass
street and to add $20 per month to
the amount he Ib receiving from the
huxInesB men for patrolling hl
orepent beat.
l'non motion of Micelll Hie petl
Hon asking for the creation of the
new police Job wa "Indeflnltle
no.tnoned." Mullen voicing a Boll
tary "no." Thin action, as a matter
of course, sidetracked the KriaiiBB
petition. Mlrell! did not explain his
motion. From other sources It Is
learned, however, that he regarded
the petition solely as an effort to
provide a Job for a friend (not
necessity for additional police pro-
Arc Ught Asked For.
Petition No. 5 before the council
asked for the establishment o.f an
tiro light at the intersection of
Musher nnd Stephens utrcots. Upon
motion of Mullen It wbb referred to
the light committee, of which Mul
len Ib chatrmau.
To the city Improvement conimlt-
toe was referred two complaints.
One of thene, Al. Creuaoii, relates to
a Btanding pool of water at Secoad
Avenuo Suuth and North Jackson
streets. Stonewall Cawlileld asked
for change in the location of the
manhole of the Fullertou Avenue
sower, which, ho said, In its present
location, would interfere with a ce
ment sidewalk which he ia going to
lay in front of his mother's property,
on West Lane Btreet.
Attorneys Paid In Full.
The $50 bill of Attorneys Long
and Micelll for legal services 4u the
Abraham case came up for action on
tho report of Bound and Bellows of
tho Judiciary commlttoo, recommend
ing that the claim be pruned down
to $20. Mullen moved ami Jones
added a Becond to allow the sum of
$20, but tho niotiou never got to a
voto, tho argument Interjected caus
ing tho Judiciary committee to
change its idea about the matter and
support a motion to allow tho bill in
the full amount. The bill com
prised tho one Item of preparing the
brief which basod City Attorney
Neuner'8 argument In the Supreme
Court and resulted In a victory for
the city.
Admitting alike that they knew
practically nothing of the value or
legal work, Hound and Bellows con
sidered that $20 was ample pay for
preparing n brief without arguing It.
In reaching this decision tnoy wore
guided Bomewhnt by tho fact that
Lone nnd Micelll had already re
ceived $100 for lighting tho caae In
the lower courts, uound argueu
further that Neuner, for appearing In
the Supreme Court, charged only
140. out of which he paid his own
expenses, while the attorneys who
merely prepnred the brief were
charging $50, with no expenses at
all to pay. Ilound was willing, now
evcr, to yield to Mr. Neunor's Idea
on tlio mailer. nuureHfuig
council, Mr. Neuner explained tnni
the preparation ot a brief was a
much harder task than arguing It
afterwards, and in this case ho was
of tho opinion that the $50 fee
charged by Micelll and Long was
very reaBonanie.
This statement satisfied Bound and
Bellows as to Hie fairness of tho
claim and they amended tneir re
port recommending tho payment oi
$50. A motion was then put to al
low thttt Bum and It enrried unani
mously. During the discussion ot
the original report favoring me pay
ment of only $20, Councilman Mi
celll remarked:
would rather Bee this oiu uib-
allowed altogether than cut down a
dollar. The city attorney naa torn
mo the brief 1s oaBlly worth $50, and
I am positive -that if we pay less than
that amount the city will be sued."
No Cliiince on Defeat.
By refiiBlng to let the measure be
submitted to a vote, a majority o
the councllnien, suHtulnlng Mcciai
len's motion, preventing the certain
death of the ordinance appropriat
ing a maxmum of $500 for expertlng
tho city records. Mlcolll, who
seconded the motion, explained that

It requIrcB seven votes to enact an
ordinance. Of the eight councilman
present at Monday night's meeting,
four ot them. Bound. Mullen. Bel
lows and Jones, are considered hos
tile to the expertlng proposition.
Friends of the measure will wait
until they are sure of the needed
seven votes before they will agree
to let it come up for final action.
From the fact that Mullen and Bound
votod against the motion for post
ponement It would appear that these
two counctlinen, at least, are op
posed to the ordinance.
Protects Pavement.
The ordinance passed relative to
the mutilation of the pavement pro
vides for Its violation a penalty of a
flue ot from $10 to $100, or Impris
onment In lieu thereof. Under the
terms of the measure no gravel or
loose rock can be hauled over the
pavement In open wagon boxes;
poles or heavy timbers cannot be
