resolution will be Introduced In the

glad to submit his claims to a com
mittee of either house.

proofs and those of , Admiral Peary,"
said Dr. Cook. "I am even willing
that the naval affairs committee of
either house be the judges, notwith
standing their natural leaning to
ward a naval officer.
"I have never attacked Admiral
Peary's claim that he reached the
North Pole, but I have criticised the
method in which he laid claim to the
honor. I want no money from con
gress, 'but I do feel as though I had
wrong righted."
Dr. Cook says he will sail for
Europe in December.

tho penitentiary by Sheriff Connor
some day this week.
Judge Searle stated to the jury In
his charge that they could - legally
find the defendant guilty of murder
In the first degree. Ho reiterated
that Just previous to Imposing sen
tence. But it was evident to the dis
trict attorney and others when the
Jury was being selected that if there
were no men with scruples on the list
It would be strange In viow of the
fact that nearly all of the men ex
amined in the case were dismissed
by Judge Newcomb because of their
scruples against capital punishment
and it became necessary to call a new
list of jurors before the Giordano
Jury was half selected.
District Attorney Reedy was asked
by Judge Searle if he wanted to
make any remarks before sentence
would be Imposed. He said ho had
no comments to make. ' Attorney
John P. Qulnan plead for clemency.

Instruction school was held last eve
ning and It was decided that It would

BASKET BALL.
What's the matter with Honesdale
and all of her basket ball teams this
winter?
Plttston, Taylor, WIlkes-Barre and
Scranton all fhave teams and are
playing regularly. Our old friends
from Taylor are playing again with
the same team that they have had for
the past twelve years. Plttston and
Wilkes-Barro have started a series
of games to determine the champion
ship of Luzerne. Both of these teams
havo the saime line-up as in previous
years. It will Indeed seem odd not to
see some of these familiar faces here
on one of our 'basket ball floors this
season.
White Mills, too, under the man
agement of "Eddie" Murphy, is or
ganized, and it is rumored is plan
ning a week's trip, taking in towns

BURNETT FOR DISTRICT
ATTORNEY OF MIDDLE DISTRICT
Among the nominations sent to
the United States Senate on Saturday
by President Wilson was that of Hon.
Uogers L. Burnett, of Stroudsburg,
to bo United Ktntns nictrlot Attnmn,.
for the Middle Pennsylvania District,
viue iv. a. uunsmore. a report from
Washington states that his confirm
ation will not bo opposed.
Mr. Burnett owes his appointment
to Congressman A. M. Palmer, and
thereby Mr. Palmer is paying a politi
cal debt, ono that was expected. It
is claimed that Mr. Burnett became a
candidate for State Senator and for
President Judgo of the 43rd Judicial
District to please Mr. Palmer and
was defeated in both instances. It
cannot bo taken then, that the ap
pointment came 'because of any poli
tical strength of tho gentleman, but
as a reward made personally by Mr.
Palmer for support given him.
