HE STOOD THE TEST Dr. Cook Was Interviewed by Forty Newspaper Representatives IT . WAS SEVERE He Stood the Cross-Exam-ination Well and Answered all Questions New York, Sept. 23.—Dr. Frederick A. Cook, seeking rest and seclusion with his family after the boisterous welcome of yesterday, denied himself tn interviewers today and remained in his suite at the Waldorf-Astoria until late last evening, when he submitted cheerfully to one of the severest iCTOss-examinations since he announced his discovery of the north pole. The ordeal of the interview, which was conducted by forty newspaper representatives, including several from foreign newspaper, proved at least that he was not afraid to meet ;the publiq. Incidentally, the city of New York officially recognized his achievement when the board of aidermen passed a resolution commemorating his discovery and providing for a public welcome at the city hall. The date of the reception will be announced later. The material points of Dr. Cooks answers today did not differ in a great degree in his original recital. Some slight details Were cleared up, however, which throw light on the way in which the polar dash was effected. As the questions asked were put by laymen they did not go deeply into the scientific aspect of the expedition, but Dr. Cbok was ready to answer anything pertinent to the is-

sue. The most interesting phase of' the interview was reached when Dr. ! < ook was asked if he would object to showing his diary. He immediately consented, and after retiring to his room returned with a small octave note book, which he showed freely to all. It was a thin book, containing 176 pages, each of which was filled with fifty or sixty lines of penciled writing in the most minute characters. The book, he said, contained considerably more than 100,000 words, while he has other books embracing his observations and other data. He did not show them, however, today. As question after question was asked, whether it was of a trivial nature or of a more serious trend, Dr. Cook answered in a low voice without hesitancy, as though in full possession of all his facts. The interviewers were rather severe in regard to details, but nothing indicated that the polar traveler’s memory was at fault, even in the most minute particulars. Sometimes, when a petty question indicated ignorance he smiled with good humored sympathy at the lack of technical knowledge displayed. Occasionally .when a question was long and complicated he asked for its repetition. o SPECIAL Two vacant lots on Closs street, four squares from court house, very fine, desirable locations.

IN KNOX COUNTY Next Sunday Will Be a Hot Day in Their Campaign LOCAL OPTION Many Preachers Will Invade Vincennes on That Day Washington, Ind., Sept. 23.—The local option campaign, which is holding the undivided attention of the residents of Knox county, is to invade the annual meeting of the Indiana M. E. conference!, now in session here, and many of the preachers will fill pulpits in that county next Sunday to champion the cause of the “drys." Before the members of the conference arrived in Washington the leaders of the Knox “dry’’ movement sent to them invitations to take part in the Sunday demonstration, and today the preachers from that county were busy circulating among the delegates extracting promises of support. Dr. Fred W. Hart, pastor of the local church, said that when the proper time came the conference would probably pass a resolution indorsing the Knox county option fight and giving its support. It is thought that the matter will be brought before the conference tomorrow. The '“drys” have provided automobiles find arrangements have been perfected to place the preachers in every section of the county. The Vincennes district quartet, now here,will 1 go to Vincennes Sunday and participate in the services to be held in the churches there.
