through a period of several days an

some excitement today coupled with

toward rowdlness that had been dis
played' on the approach of the boll

was dismissed on sccount of shoot

breaking out window-panes. In the

clared that many of them are less

the Immoral Indulgences of their psr

WITH THE DATA
Report Made Today .
Commission Declares That the
Documents of Dr. Cook Do
Not Carry Conviction and Are
Not Satisfactory
NO SURPRISE- BY REPORT
Copenhagen. Dec. 21. ? The data
submitted by Dr. Frederick A. Cook
to the University of Copenhagen are
not sufficient to prove his claim to
the discovery at the north pole, ac
cording to the report of the commis
sion jnade today to lb* consistory.- ?
The commission's report declares^
mat me documents do nat amy *on
vlction, and" that the records and ob
servations ace- entirely insufficient to
warrant the verdict that ha discov
ered the pole.
The report created little surprise
In official circles.
A sensational feature of the find
ings is that Dr. Cook had no- original
observations or documents, not even
his famous diary, on which he bsseil
many of his claims. _ ?
Among the pe'opln there wy s6mc
thing qf a scnyal in^ in tfrr roport.tfH ?
the adherents of tho first cjaimant to
the discovery of the pole were still
strong, though, their ranks had been
rcrastderably thinned slncrc Dr.
first came down our qf* the Great
While North.
? Xlu^tonnr t>f ll'ti IftQQCi had haan .
foreshadowed, however, and for sev
ural days there were. rumors. In spite
3.f the strict orders to< all the mcirt
bcrs of the commission against tslk
Ing, that Dr. Cook wxiuld not be ac
claimed ns the man who did the feat_
which bafiled Hhe race for centuries.
The charges mad^ against Dr. Cook
in America, as well as $)>6sc of Lhe
rorelgners, "had done much in the last
Tow month* to discredit bUn. ? ?
Th<Tflfial blow was the publication
of the allegations of Captain A. \V.
Loose and George II. Dunkle. of New
York, to. the effect that they had sup
plied to order.'iiud for a price which
was not paid, the very data which the
Copenhagen University authorities
nave passeu on.
The doubt thrown ; on Dr. Cooinr
alleged ascent to the summit of Mt.
McKlnley-ln Alaska and the many at
tacks on him by American scientific
and naval men had almost completely
alie nated from him the support, vf
Europe, except for the 'little strong
hold of the faithful at Copenhagen.
It was reported that only the In
sltitence of Professor 8lromgren* led
to the continuation of the examina
tion to the end, some of the members
of the commission desiring to drop
the entire matter stfter they had
pushed the examinatl6n^but half way
through the .documents. '
Today's action of the I'niverslty
of Copenhagen in effect destroys Dr.
Cook's last vestige of standing in flic
scientific ^rorld as the discoverer of
the North Pole.
