(By Leased Wire to The Times.) Chicago, Sept. 1 "Everywhere throughout the world, herfe in Ame lea. as Well as In Europe,', the cause of rellelon Is rapidly gaining and wickedness is steadily waning, lndi eating a steady progress of Christian civilization." Thin la the ontlmlstlc view express ed -by 'Archbishop Diomede Falconio aDbstollc delegate to the United States, at Washington, D. C, who is ta Chicago for the consecration today of Rev. Edmund M. Dunne, D. D., as bishop of Peoria. ': "-The brainless rich" are the great est menace to this country, according to - Archbishop Falconio. Asked at the residence of BUhop Qulgley where he is a guest, what he consid 'eria the greatest evil In this coun try," and how that evil could be sup pressed, he gave this answer: "I - consider the prevalence of di vorce the greatest of this great coun trv evils, and I consider the misuse of wealth by he brainless richwho promote divorces and otner evns, me greatest . menace to the united Mates." " , Amnllfvlno- thin he continued: ' "The' misuse of wealth ts7 perhaps the root of most of the country's so cial evils and the unscrupulous meth ods by which great wealth is often obtained constitute another great evil. Healthy public opinion, good laws, temperance and the practical righteousness inculcated by the mnrfcl teachings of religion are ttie remedies for divorce, for the misuse of wealth and the other social and industrial evils. Of course, the great est of these remedies is religion." Continuing he said: I believe this wonderful nation wlU vrove capable of solving all its puzrling problems.

If .there were anything cheap er or 'better, rest assured, that the greatest merchants in Amer ica would not spend individual sums ranging up to half a mil lion dollars a year and over in this form of attracting trade. It Is no longer a question of whether It pays to advertise in the newspaper. Instead, it is up to the advertiser to find out which newspaper will bring him the greatest returns from his advertising. " Most Raleigh merchants un hesitatingly declare In favor of The Evening Times because 'they have had abundant un doubted proof of it superiority as an advertising medium.

China is compelled to declare open ports where the Japanese are given exclusive jurisdiction over all Core- ans and also jurisdiction In criminal cases involving Coreans throughout the district. The opening of the ports was not warranted by any commercial need, according to the impressions herei Consular representation by other na tions is improbable. In face of the Portsmouth treaty not to obstruct any measures that China may take for the development of commerce and industry in Manchuria, Japan has forced a special pledge from China not to build a railway from Hslnmin tun north without Japan's consent. One significant provision is that if China should build the Klrln railway half of the capital required for the construction shall be borrowed from Japan, thus giving the Japanese con trol of an important branch from Ja pan's main line towards Vladtvos- tock. China is also compelled to trans fer the Taischichao-Newchwang line to Japan. SPANIARDS WIN DECISIVE BATTLE (By Cable The Times) Madrid, Sept. 1 The Spaniards have won their nrst decisive victory in Morocco. Word was brought here to- tay of a five hour battle near Zoco El Arbaa when 2,000 Moors attacked a Spanish artillery troop but were driven off. : The Spanish unllmbered their cannon and mowed down the Kabylls. The Moorish losses were ex tremely heavy, although the Spaniards had only three men wounded. All the buildings In range of the guns were levelled. ' This Is the flrst encouragement the Spanish have had on their advance from Melius. Their flrst operations were checked by the Mooj but the forward movement will likely be re commended again tomorrow. Despite the heavy losses Buffered by the Kabyleg, a second attack was made later in the day, the famous chieftain El Cbaldy himself leading the attack. Again the Spaniards re pulsed the fierce tribesmen, inflict ing a heavy loss. The Moors are now erecting fortifications at strategic points apparently planning to let their foes begin the offensive move ment hereafter. ' The Edward H. Harrinian of today. DR.

Dispatch From Lervlk (Jives No Details Cook's Expedition Was the Most Sensational Ever ('juried Out by An Explorer. (By Leased Wire to The Times. ) New York, . Sept. 1 The North Pole, the most coveted goal of all ex ploration for a century, has been dis covered by an American. Word re ceived In New York today stated that Dr. Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, reached the northern tip of the earth's axis on April 21, 190S. This report was confirmed shortly after it was received by word from Dr. Cooke himself in the following cablegram to his wife, forwarded by way of Copenhagen, Denmark: 'Mrs. Frederick A. Cook, No. biU Bushwlek Avenue, U. S. A , case of Mrs. Robert U. Davidson, of No. 603 Bushwlek Avenue, "Successful and well. Telegraph address Copenhagen. , "FRED." Mrs. Davidson Is a friend of Mrs. Cook. She immediately wired the latter at South Harleswell Island, Casco Bay, Maine, where she is spend ing the summer with her two chil dren, of Dr. Cook's success and mail ed the original cablegram. Mrs. Cook left Brooklyn last year ago. this is me nrsi woru to her from' her husband since March Snap-shopt of the famous financier, Arden, X. V. A. COOK a year ago last spring. The first word received in New York of Dr. Cook's tremendous tea I was sent by him to members of the Arctic Club of America and ramo from Lervik, Norway, it was receiv ed by the Colonial OHice of I lie Nor wegian government and was sigiuul by Dr. Cook. The Danish government steamer Hans Egede passed the Shetland Is lands today returning from Green land with Dr. Cook and his expedition on board. Dr. Cook stated that he reached the Pole on April 21, 1908, and then returned to Upernivik, Greenland, in May, 1909. The party is due in Copenhagen on Saturday.

Dr. I'ook for many months was believed to have perished in lite ice of the frozen north, for nothing had been heard from him since March 1". 11)08. At that time he had crossed Ellseinere Island, passed Nansen Straight and had reached the Ice near Cape Hubbard, sixty below Cape Col umbus. Peary's Point of departure in his expedition of 1906. He was then well tind expected to be heard from again in thre months. More than a year passed without further word from him. The dispatch from Lervlc gives no details of what trials and hardships the explore.- and his companions had to withstand. No white man accom panied Dr. Cook. He set out on the dash to the pole with eight Esquimaux, twelve teams of dogs and four sleds. A minimum of Impedimenta was used. Cook's expedition was the most sen sational ever carried out by an ex plorer. . He carried an automobile sled that made high speed over the ice. and that became a motor boat when open water was struck. The news of the discovery of the pole created the greatest excitement here, base of supplies, or permanent camp. spread the world over. Among -sclen- ''it- dpM taken on his arrival at his home at ll.".ts li re win, have watched for years the many expeditions sent out to find tile pohle and plant a flag of one lla lion or another where the foot of hninunhas never touched, the great est enthusiasm, exists over the report of the final victory and the highest of praise is being sounded for I lu- won derfully pluckv American. That Cook escaped with ills life after his two years light for this proud achievement Is considerable little short of marvellous. F.ven while the Peary relief expedition was hunting lor him in the Ice anil mountains of I'roxeu snow beyond the end of -land, he Is believed to have been at the pole making hurried observations for the scientists the world over. The last wold from the explorer was received in .May of last year. It was a letter to his son I'Vaiilt telling him to return- to .New York. He was then in Western Kllsinerelanil, about sixty miles southwest of Cape Columbia, the northernmost portion of the Arctic mainland. The return of Frank Cook was accompanied by great hardships which gave rise to fears thai the father would never be seen alive again. It was Dr. Cook's plan to make his base of supplies, of permanent camp, at Anna Toak. in Greenland, about '20 miles north of Etah and about one thousand miles from the pole. He left there in December, 19u7. and then made his way westward out of the Haehe Peninsula and ailoss to Kllsmere land. It is believed ho reached this in February. llKW. When Dr. Cook started be left behind at Anna Toak the only remaining white man in Ills party. Rudolph Franche. a young Germban. Franke had been told by the explorer to wait at winter quartets until he heard from him and win u lie did hear to ogey instructions literally. (in May 7 PJHS, Francke received a message from Dr. Cook telling him to go back to New York if lie did not re turn to Anna Toak by early June. This was the March 17 letter and must have been written two weeks after the start homeward. June came and went and Dr. Cook did not return. Francke, therefore.obeyed and returned. At Etah, Francke, in terrible con dition, was picked up by Peary's aux iliary cruiser, the Erik. He had 1m provisioned crutches out of two sticks and had been living on walrus meat, which the natives gave to him and to their dogs alike. He was taken to Nova Scotia and from there found his way back lo New York. From the lirst Dr. Cook's dash had been clouded in a mess of curious factors. In the spring of 1907 he ac companied John 'D. Bradley, the fa mous New York millionaire sports man and traveler, in a hunting trip to Greenland. The two set sail from Gloucester, Mass., in a fishing schoon er, provisioned for a two years' cruise.

There Have Been Nineteen Cases During the Past , Eighteen Months GASES ALSO IN CITY .Statement Given Out by Dr. James MrKec, Superintendent of the Slate Hospital About Thirty-three and One.tliird Per Cent ot the Cases at the Hospital Have 'Been Fatal One of the Deaths From This Disease Occurred Only a Few Daj-H Agti Unfiles Physician. The statement was given out today by Dr. McKee, superintendent of the Insane Asylum, that there were now fourteen cases of pellegra at that in stitution. This disease that lias gained such a headway all over the country, is causing the medical fraternity a great deal of worry. It is generally sup posed that, it is caused from eating corn-bread made from corn that was not in good condition, though this theory is vigorously denied by equal ly eminent medical authorities. The first case diagnosed at the In sane Asylum was about eghteen months ago and since that time there have been nineteen cases. The numt her of deaths resulting are about thirty-three and a third per cent, so states Dr. McKee. One of the deaths occurred about four days ago, the vic tim being in the last stages when he was brought to the asylum, and only lived about five days. The fourteen cases now on hands are not consider ed to be in a critical condition. County Physician Jordan says that two cases were reported to the .med ical board several months ago from the country. " . It is also reported that there are two or more well developed cases in this city but up to the hour of go iing to press we have not been able to get their names. In some sectlbns pellagra is more fatal than others. The disease is generally not considered contagious, though there are some who assert that it is. So far it has baffled the ablest physicians, and whether it is caused by bad corn or some other causes, and whether it is contagious or not are questions wheh are now occupyng the attenton of the medical world. MRS.SUTTON ANGRY AT THE DEPARTMENT ( By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Sept. 1. "I am sur prised at the action of the war de partment. This is not a court of in quiry. The exhumation of my son's body is sacred to myself," said Mrs. Rosa U Sutton, when informed today that the Secretary of War Dickenson had directed that the young marine officers in the Sutton tragedy might have a representative present at the exhumation of the body of her son if they wished to do so. Her manner became Immediately excited, Indicating her extreme displeasure. She had previously been speaking of the ap proaching disinterment, and it is pre sumed she expected to have the privi lege of designating those who would be present to witness the ordeal with her mid at the interment to participate In the service incidental to the consecra tion of the as yet unhallowed grave in Arlington Cemetery. How much of controversy this latest order of the war department will arouse is to be determined. Hery B. Davis, Mrs. Sutton's counsel, is expected to return tomorrow. It is possible that the officers con cerned. Lieutenants Adams, Utley, Osterman, and Bevan, of the marine corps, will not send any personal representatives.
