OPINIONS OF CHIEF MEN rnanlmous Call Given Portland Pastor- Pre-eminent as Winner of Souls Brougher May De cide by Sunday. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Sept. 1. Spe cial.) Temple Baptist Church, by unani mous vote tonight, extended a call to Rev. James Whitcomh Brougher. of the First Baptist Church, of Portland, Or., to become the pastor to succeed Dr. Bur dette. In response to the question: "What hait you to say as to Dr. Brougher for Temple Baptist Church?" the following answers were given: D. K. Edwards, deacon and leading business man Dr. Broughter Is the man for Temple Baptist Church at the pres ent time. I know of no other who can fill the pulpit as can Dr. Broughter. Rev. A. P. Graves, evangelist of Na tional reputation Dr. Brougher's pre eminent usefulness as a soul-winner and as an organlrer and church leader causes mt to regard him as the most acceptable man to succeed Dr. Burdette. Hon. Mattlson B. Jonea. leading Bap tis layman of Southern California We want a man" that preaches the word of God. I know of no one on this continent that will come nearer to filling our pul pit than Dr. Broughter. C. C. Boynton, chairman of pulpit com mittee Dr. Broughter seems to be the only available man to satisfy all the de- mands of the Temple pastorate. We must have a man who haa demonstrated his power and his success. z. When Informed last night that a formal call had been extended him to the pas torate of the Temple Baptist Church, of Los Angeles. Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher, ' pastor of White Temple, expressed his appreciation of the offer, but said that ' he bad as yet made no decision. "I wish to give this matter further consideration before announcing my de ' cislon." said Dr. Brougher, who had Just reached Portland from Los Angeles. ', where he preached In the Temple Church ! last Sunday. "I expect to be ready to ! make a reply within a week, and if I i have decided by Sunday I may tell my , congregations that day what course I shall take." POLE IS FOUND BY COOK (Continued From First Page.) .there were some animal comforts oc casionally to be gained. "For several days after sight ofknown land was lost, the overcast aky pre vented an accurate determination of our position. On March 30 the horlson was partly cleared, and new land was -discovered. Our observations gave our po sition as latitude M.47. longitude $ 36. There was urgent need of rapid advance. Our main mission did not permit a de tour for the purpose' of exploring the coast. Here we saw the last signs of solid 'earth; beyond, there was nothing stable to be seen. Maddening Desert of Frost. "We advanced steadily over the mo notony of moving ea Ice and now found ourselves beyond the. range of all life n-either footprints of bears nor the blow hole of sals were detected. Even the microscopic creatures of the deep were no longer under us. The maddening in fluence of the shifting desert of frost be came almost unendurable in the dally routine. The surface of the pack offered less and less trouble, and the weather Improved, but there still remained the Ufe-sapping wind, which drove despair to its lower recess. Extreme cold com pelled physical action. "Thus, day after day, our weary legs spread over big distances. Incidents and positions were recorded, but adventure was promptly forgotten In the next day's efforts. The night of April 7 was made more notable by the swinging of . the eun at midnight over the northern Ice. Sunburns and frostbites now were re corded on the same day, but the double day's glitter Infused quite an " Incentive Into one's life of shivers. "Our observations on April $ placed the company In latitude 86.36, longitude 94.2, "In spite of what seemed long marches, we advanced but little over a hundred miles. Much of our work was lost In circuitous twists around troublesome pres sure lines and high Irregular fields. A very old Ice drift, too, was driving east ward with sufficient 'force to give some anxiety. Although still equal to about 15 miles, daily, the extended marches and the long hours of traveling with which fortune favored us earlier were no long er possible. "We were now about 200 miles from the pole and sledge loads were reduced. One dog after another went Into the stomachs of the hungry survivors un til the teams were considerably di minished In number, but there seemed to remain a sufficient balance for man and brute to push along Into the heart of the mystery to 'which we had set ourselves. Reach "Great Nail." "On April 21 we had reached 89 de grees 59 minutes 46 seconds. The pole was In sight. We covered the remain ing 14 seconds and made a few final observations. . I told Etuklshook and Ahwelsh (the accompanying Eskimos that we had reached the 'great nail.' Everywhere we turned was south. With a single step we could pass from one side of the earth to the other: from midday to midnight. At last the flag floated to the -breezes at the pole. It was April 21, 1908. The temperature was minus 38 centigrade: barometer. 29.83: latitude. 90: as for longitude, it was nothing, as It was but a word. Crazy With Joy, bat Weary. "Although craxy with Joy. our spirits began to undergo a feeling of weari ness. Next day, after taking all our observations, a sentiment of intense solitude penetrated us while we looked at the horizon. Was It possible that this desolate region, without a patch of earth, had aroused the ambition of so many men for so many centuries? There was no ground, only an im mensity of dazzling white snow, no living being, no point to break the frightful monotony. "On April 23 we started on our re turn." BEATS VETERAN EXPLORERS Cook Achieve What Hundreds Have Failed to Do. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. "Single-handed ( and alone. Dr. Cook haa apparency accomplished what . hundreds of more experienced and better equipped ex plorers have been trying for in vain for years," was the comment of Herbert L. Bridgman. of Brooklyn, secretary of the Peary Arctic Club and an intimate friend of Dr. Cook. "Beside men like Peary." continued Mr. Bridgman. who lias himself taken a large part In several Arctic expedi tions during the past 15 years. "Cook is a comparative amateur. He went north merely as a surgeon of an ex pedition and was left behind with a small store of supplies at his own re quest. "He reached the pole, the dispatches tell us. on April 21. averaging in the nejghborhood of 15 miles a day if he traveled a straight line, and making a far higher average if as is likely he was compelled to go In a roundabout way. "Dr. Cook's achievement shows how largely the element of luck enters into the problem of Arctic explorations. If the reports are correct he has accom plished almost without equipment or preparation. a thing which the most elaborately outfitted expeditions have failed in." EXPLORERS ALL PAY TRIBUTE Baldwin Doubts Success, but Os borne Says He'll Prove It. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. Other explorers now in New York added their tribute to Dr. Cook's achievement. Anthony Flala. author of "Fighting the Polar Ice." who has made two trips to the Arctic re gions, said: "Dr. Cook well deserves the honor he has won and I am heartily glad that hU efforts have been successful." Evelyn B. Baldwin, organizer of the Baldwin -Ziegler expedition. was In clined to await fuller reports from Dr. Cook before giving full credence to the report. "The task of reaching he pole." he said. "Is stupendous and the man who first accomplishes It deserves great credit." Captain Bradley Osborne, who has been twice In the Arctic Ocean and once In the Antarctic, was confident that the reports of Dr. Cook's success were cor rect. "I am confident." said Captain Os borne, "that he will have ample data to prove his claim, too. His daily obser vations, his photographs of polar scenes and his notes on the geography nnd the topography of the unknown North are likely to prove about the most Interesting reading that has been put before either scientists or laymen In recent years." SHACKLETON ADDS. TRIBTTTE Say Polar Expeditions Will Con tinue for Scientific Research. LONDON. Sept. 2. Lieutenant Ernest H. Shackleton. in a special article contrib uted to a morning newspaper, says: "I have very recent recollections of the hardships of the struggle in Ice-bound re gions. Therefore. I can realise the effort Dr. Cook's feat cost and consider it a personal pleasure that it has been crowned with success." "Of course the attainment of either pole will stop the fitting out of expedi tions designed solely to reach the pole, but even after both poles have bee.i reached scientific expeditions will con tinue to penetrate the polar regions, which, apart from the poles themselves, will remain a vast field for scientific study and research" A dispatch from Lerwick to the Times says it Is stated there that Dr. Cook has reached the. magnetic pole. ONE-MAN DASH ACROSS SEA. Shackleton Lauds Cook's Feat as a Remarkable Achievement. LONDON. Sept. 1. "I am more than pleased to hear the news," said Lieu tenant Ernest H. Shackleton. who re turned recently from an expedition that went very close to the South Pole, when Informed of the announcement of Dr. Frederick A. Cook's polar success. "If the news is correct'contlnued the Lieutenant, "It is a very remarkable achievement.. It must have been a one man dash to the pole, as Dr. Cook's only companion was Rudolph Franke, who left the explorer when he was be tween 500 and 600 miles of the pole." In an Interview yesterday Lieutenant Shackleton dilated on Commander Rob ert E. Peary's achievements, and said that if anyone reached the North Pole he expected Peary would be the man. HE DARE NOT BE MISTAKEN London Times Calculates Cook's Story Must Be True. LONDON. Sept 1. In an editorial, the Times says that such a man as Dr. Cook is. prima facie, not likely to mislead the world about his achievements. "When he telegraphs his wife 'success ful' and to the director of the Belgium Observatory that he has reached the pole, we are bound to accept the statement as serious." says the editorial. "If by any chance further investigation showed that he had been mistaken in his latitude and that he had not quite reached the mysterious spot for which Peary, Nansen and Wellman have striven vainly, there would be a reaction of opinion that even the most hardened explorer would not like to face." y SCIENTIFIC VALUE IS HIGH British Scientists Declare Results of v Cook's Journey Useful.' WINNIPEG. Man.. Sept. 1. The Brit ish Association for the advancement of Science at Us national meeting showed great interest In the report that Dr. Cook had reached the North Pole. Colo nel Sir Duncan Johnstone, president of the geographical section, declared the ex pedition would be of the highest scien tific value If scientific observations were made by qualified men. Cv H. Chisholm. professor of geography at Edinburgh University, said magnetic observations that could be made at t'ao pole would likely be among the most valuable results of the day. CAN COOK PROVE DISCOVERY? Rome Paper.Says Only Astronomical Observations Can Convince. ROME. Sept. 1. The Trlbuna asks how Dr. Cook. If alone when he reached the pole, hopes to prove the authen ticity of his discovery. No faith, the Trlbuna says, can be attached to the evidence of the Eskimos, who are ignorant of scientific matters. The Trlbuna. however, hopes that Dr. Cook will bring back among his as tronomical observations taken at the pole, which astronomers can easily verify, convincing proof of his marvel ous discovery- Schley's Pean of Victory. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. A telegram from Rear-Admiral Schley tonight says: "Dr. Cook's great achievement fills me with dollght and I rejoice at his suc cess. I always believed that Cook would succeed if it were possible, as he Im pressed me as being full of force, cour age and determination. Hurrah for this magnificent American success, and brave Cook."
