DEGREE TO BE WITHDRAWN
Scientists Saddened by What For
mer Supporter Now Calls Scan
dal Blame Is Divided With
Minister Eagan.
COPENHAGEN, Tc. 21. The report
of ths special committee of scientists,
which the University of Copenhagen ap
pointed to Investigate rr. Frederick
" Cook's claims that he had discovered the
North Pole, was submitted to the con
sistory of the university this morning.
Indorsed by that body and given to the
public.
The report shatters completely, almost
contemptuously, the American explorer's
title to such discovery and fills officials
and people of Denmark with chagrin at
the figure Iionmark la made to assume in
the ryes of the scientific world
The public was prepared for a verdict
of "nofc proven,' but did not expect its
rrt'cnt hero to be branded as an im
postor. Many Btlll cling to the belief
that Cook acted In Rood faith, but had
labored under a delusion.
Scientists Lose Faith.
Kxplorers and scientists almost entirely
have lost faith In Cook's honesty, while
one of his warmest supportei-s, Knud
rtasinusscn, helped to frame the report.
The evening papers attack Cook and se
verely reproach him for hiding, which
they regard as a sign of a guilty con
science. ' The rector of the university. Dr. Salo
monson, when questioned as to the pos
sibility of the university canceling tie
degree which It conferred on Dr. Cook,
says that no decision has been reached,
but be thought that the degree would be
withdrawn in the same way as a govern
ment could deprive a person of an order
obtained under false pretenses.
"Swindler," Says Member.
Commodore Oustav Holm, Arctic ex
plorer and a member of the committee,
aid:
. "Cook's claim that he made the ob
servation 89 degrees. 69 minutes, 46
seoonds near the Pole proved immedi
ately that he was a bad observer, but
nothing- Indicated that he was a
swindler. Now, his papers convict him
of being- a swindler. We examined
Cook's observations first and agreed
unanimously that they were worthless.
Captain Loose's observations were not
used in the papers Cook submitted to
the university.
Professor Olufson, secretary of the
Swedish Geographical Society, said:
"It is the saddest event in my life.
As an explorer there seems to be no
doubt that Cook Is absolutely unreli
able," Degree Prematurely Given.
The National Tidende. while deplor
ing that the university conferred the
degree In a moment of enthusiasm, finds
consolation in the fact that others
honored Cook when he returned to
civilization.
"The President of his own country
and its envoy at Copenhagen," says the
paper, "were the guarantors of him.
jDenmark did not blunder alone. Our
country must now leave this sad affair
to America and Cook."
In an Interview tonight, Knud Ras
mussen said:
"The university would not invite me
at first because I was one of Dr. Cook's
strongest supporters. Later, however, I
was invited to the Investigation, and
when I saw the observations I realized
It was a scandal.
Papers Called "Impudent."
"My confidence in Cook has been
based on personal impressions, on .re
ports that I had received, and" also on
the testimony of the Eskimos, when
they all said that he had made the trip
rrom Cape Sparbo to Etah, and such a
I rip in the dark of Winter would suf
fice to make a man famous. But the
papers which Cook sent to Copenhagen
University are most impudent. Any
schoolboy could make such calculations.
It is a most childish attempt at cheat
ing. Cook has killed himself by his
own foolish acts."
Commodore Hovgaard. explorer, said:
"Although It has not been proved that
Cook did not reach the Pole, I can only
regard. Cook as an imposter."
The report of the committee, of which
Professor Stromgren was chairman, as
presented to the Consistory, states that
Dr. Cook's papers are without any
value; that his report to the University
of Copenhagen is practically the same
as that published in the New York
Herald on his return from his Arctic
expedition.
Proofs Wholly Lacking.
The copies, of his notebooks, as sub
mitted, contain no original calculations
of observations, but only results there
of. Accordingly, the committee con
cludes that he affords no proofof hav
ing reached the Pole.

CHRISTMAS GIFT
COST $750,000
RICH PHILADELPHIAX GIVES
WIFE F1XEST NECKXACE.
George J. Widcner Remembers
Daughter of Late William KI
kins, With Pearl Collection.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 21 (Spe
cial.) Probably the most splenbid and
costly Christmas gift that any woman
In the world will receive this year will
be a rope of magnificent pearls, costing
1750,000, which George D. Widener will
present to his wife, who was Miss
Eleanor Elkins, daughter of the late
William Elkins, traction magnate.
It Is said to be the m-st costly string
of pearls in the world, and at a recent
sale in New York brought the highest
price received for pearl necklaces.
It Is said Widener intended the rope
of gems, some of which are nearly as
large as pigeon eggs, and sufficient for
a king's ransom, as a surprise for his
wife, but the news of his intended gift
has leaked out.
It Is probable that society will soon
have an opportunity to admire at first
hand what is said to be the finest col
lection of pearls, gem for gem, that any
woman has been privileged to wear.

TUFT SEES WISDOM
OF RIGID INQUIRY
Justice to BallingerNot
Whole Motive
SENATE CALLS FOR PAPERS
Investigation Delayed to Per
mit Leaders to Confer.
NELSON IS AGREED UPON
President Is Convinced Attack Yells
Conspiracy to Show Roosevelt
Policies Are in Unfriend
ly Hands.
WASHINGTON. Dec. ZL Any doubt
that the whole force of the Taft Adminis
tration is to be behind the investigation
demanded by both sides of the so-called
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy was dis
pelled by events in and out of Congress
today. Without question President Taft
himself is as eager for the merciless In
vestigation of the whole question as hith
erto he has been reluctant to admit the
necessity for it.
. A motive much deeper than willingness
to do justice to Secretary Balllnger is
ascribed to President Taft by Senators,
Representatives and others active In poli
tics. Men in a position to know the senti
ments of Mr. Taft declare that he has at
last become convinced of the truth of
what his friends have been telling him for
many weeks of that he has hitherto
laughed at that lying behind the attack
on Mr. Balllnger is a more or less defin
itely organized movement to discredit the
Taft Administration, especially by spread
ing the Impression that the so-called
"Roosevelt policies" are in unfriendly
hands; that Mr. Balllnger was made the
target on the theory that he offered the
most vulnerable point in the Administra
tion. Taft Xow Convinced.
Because he was loath to believe that
such a propaganda was under way Mr.
Taft opposed every suggestion from. Mr.
Balllnger or his friends that attacks upon
the Land Office should be met with a de
termination to expose those responsible.
Though slow to come to a decision, it Is
known that Mr. Taft Is now inclined to
believe that the criticisms that had
cropped out in many widely separated lo
calities are a part of a deliberate deter
mination to make trouble, which amounts
virtually to a conspiracy.
The first step in paving the way for a
Congressional Investigation was taken to
day. Senator Flint introduced a resolu
tion in the Senate requesting the Attorney-General
to send to the Senate all
papers in his possession that relate to
the case. These papers include the re
port of L. R. Glavis, dismissed agent of
the Land Office, who sought to connect
Mr. Ballinger with the Cunningham coal
land cases in a manner reflecting upon his
record.
Conference Approves Plan.
The Flint resolution was adopted.
Later it was learned that it had been
drafted by Attorney General Wicker
sham and that it was one of the sub-
Concluded, on Pace 8.)

CABINET CRISIS AVERTED
Greek Minister of War Resigns but
Premier Comes to Rescue.
ATHENS. Dec. 21. The Minister of
War, Colonel Lapathiotls. presented his
resignation to the Premier today. The
Premier did his utmost to avert a crisis,

outcome of a soene In the Chamber of
Deputies y-ewterdpy, when the War Min
ister attacked the administration of ex

ex-Premier protested and left the Cham
ber in a body.
Humors were heard today that unless

government without the Chamber. For a.
time the situation was tense and great

SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 21. (Special.)
; Governor Hay does not advocate
state-wide prohibition. He believes the
Republican party has gone far enough,
at least for the present, with the local
option law, but probably, at the next
session of the Legislature, adoption of
the Nebraska law for daylight saloons
will be urged. These significant utter

Governor Hay returned to Spokane

Davenport, said:
"In explaining my position on the
liquor question I said that the Repub

liquor question at present; that I was
not in favor of a state-wide prohibition
law. In fact, if I had the making of
the law, and if It was absolutely in my
hands, I would not pass a state-wide
prohibition law, as I feel that the peo
ple of the state are not yet ready for
that law.
