Soldiers and Secret Police
at Inauguration.
FEARED A DEMONSTRATION.
In Order to Keep the Crowd Small tho
Services at the Last Moment Were
Transferred to the School of
Mines Building.
City of Mexico, Dec. 1. President
Dlnz and Vice President Corral were
inaugurated today. The ceremonies
took place in the School of Mines
building instead of the new chamber
of deputies, as previously had been ar
ranged. The excuse given was that
the new building Is not ready for use,
but it Is whispered about that tho
change was made to keep a crowd
away from the place where the innu
gural ceremonies were held. The
School of Mines has not one-fifth the
capneity of the new building.
AH the members of the cabinet and
high government officials and diplo
mats wero present. No one else ex
cept those holding special invitations,
and those were few, attended. The
streets were lined with a double row
of soldiers.
Diaz and Corral appeared before the
speaker of tho houso of deputies and
promised in simple language to con
duct the affairs of tho country for the
next six years as they have done the
last six.
The speaker then said:
"If you do, the nation will reward
you. If you do not, the nation will
hold you responsible."
Many hundred secret police were
sworn in as deputies for the inaugura
tion ceremonies.
Chuvlscar, a town near Chihuahua,
Is held by the rebels. The mayor of

the conditions in the northern section
of the country.
NOT GUILTY, SAYS GALLAGHER
Will Be Tried Late Next Year For
Shooting Mayor Gaynor.
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 1. James J.
Gallagher, the former employee of the
dock department who shot Mayor Gay
nor Aug. 9, was arraigned before
Judge John A. Blair In tho court of
common pleas nnd pleaded not guilty
to two indictments, one for assault
with Intent to kill Street Cleaning
Commissioner Edwards and the other
for carrying concealed weapons.
The indictment for shooting Mayor
Gaynor, which Is for assault with In
tent to kill, was not pressed by Public
Prosecutor Garven of nudson county
for the reason that a charge of mur
der can be brought against a prisoner
under the New Jersey laws a year and
J day from tho date of assault.
If Mnyor Gaynor should die before
Aug. 10, 1911, Gallugher could be In
dicted on n charge of murder in tue
first degree. The prosecutor prefers to
hold the prisoner until that time be
fore trying him on the charge of as
sault with Intent to kill the mayor.

COOK CONFESSES.
lie Isn't Sure That He
Reached the Pole.
SELLS STORY TO MAGAZINE.
Admits That Perhaps Privation Drove
Him Mad and Made Him Believe
That He Had Accomplished
His Great Ambition.
Now York, Dec. 1. Dr. Frederick A.
Cook has confessed.
This announcement is made by-Ben-Jainln
Hampton, editor 6r the maga
zine that paid $50,000 for Commander
Peary's story of his trip to tho north
pole.
In his "Own Story," the first install
ment of which will nppcar In the Jan
unry number of the magazine, Dr;
Cook frankly admits that ho docs not
know whether ho reached the north
pole or not.
In the opening article, dealing par
ticularly with the psychology of his ad
venture, the man who has been alter
nately lauded as tho greatest explorer
and denounced ns tho most colossal
faker of the age declares:
"Did I got to the north pole? Per
haps I mnde a mistake In thinking I
did. Perhaps I did not make a mis-
tnKe. Alter mature thought I con
fess that I do not know absolutely
whether I reached the polo or not.
This may conic as an amazing state
ment, but I nm willing to startle the
world If by so doing I can get an op
portunity to present my case. By my
case I mean not my case ns a geo
graphical discoverer, but my case as a
man. Much as the attainment of tho
north pole once meant to me, the sym
pathy nnd conildence of my fellow
men means more.
"Fully, freely nnd frankly I shall
tell everything nnd leave the decision
with you. If, nfter reading my story,
you say, 'Cook is sincere and honest;
half crazed by months of isolation nnd
hunger he believed that he reached
the pole; he Is not a faker' then I
shall be satisfied."
Dr. Cook tells his life story and
pictures the overpowering ambition
for exploration that beset him until
llnally It culminated in Ids effort to
reach the pole. He declares that at
the time he convinced himself that he
had discovered the pole he was half
mad.
Cook declares that it would bo Im
possible for any man to demonstrate
that he had been to tho north pole. He
characterizes the far north as a Veglbn
of Insanity, "where one cannot believe
the evidences gnthered by one's own
eyes."
He says he had always looked upon
the discovery of the pole ns an
achievement for his own personal sat
isfactionfor the satisfaction of a
crnving and desire that was greater
than any other factor In his life. When
he found how tremendous a sensntlon
bis statement that he had attained the
polo created he was overcome with be
wilderment. One of the facts brought out by his
story is that lu all the time he has
been away, with the sjjrewdest news
paper men in the world on his trail,
he has never worn a disguise and has
never takeii any unusual precaution to
conceal his Identity.
Part of the time his wife has been
with him and part of the time his chil
dren too. The children are now In a
retrent In France, nnd Dr. Cook and
his wife are in Europe. Most of the
time during bis exile he has been in
London.
With the opportunity for thought
thut bis exile has given him he says
he never even had time to sleep more
than three or four hours a night be
tween his arrival In Copenhagen and
his disappearance from New York ho
was found growing stronger nnd
stronger In the desire to return to his
own country to be understood by his
countrymen.
"I have been called the greatest liar
In the world, the most monumental
Impostor In history," he says In start
ing Ills story. "I believe that in a very
undesirable way I stand unique, tho
object of tsxcli vituperation nnd suspi
cion as have assailed few men."
Cook will return to the United States
with his wife and children Dec. 22 in
order to spend Christmas among his
relatives.

FALLS 3 STORIES IN SLEEP.
Girl Lands on Grass Plot No ho the
Worse For Acjoldont.' !- , 't -
New York, Dec. 1. Fortunately for

TRIES TO KILL SICK GIRL.
Sweetheart Then Shoots Himself After
Being Barred From Kissing Her.
