consummate skill and dramatic art.

aid of several detective agencies and,
notwithstanding the robber obtained
less than $100 by his daring deed, the

New York Has Thirty-Four New Ones
Taking Effect Today.
By Associated Press.
New York, Sept. 1.—Several of the
34 new penal laws which take effect
in this state today will probably form’
precedents for other states. One of
them is that which deems a chauffeur
guilty of larceny if he uses his
ployer's automobile without his con-
sent. This is designed to discourage
"Joy rides.”
Another law provides a 50-year sen-
tence for kidnaping and it is hoped
that this will have an effect of
dampening the ardor of black hand
societies which threaten to steal chil-
dren unless liberally bribed. Another
law makes the dealing in street car
Camp and Henderson counties. The
rolls of Camp county show a total
value of $2,626,470, which is an increase
of $26,480 over last year, while Hender-
son county showed a total valuation of
$5,874,409, which is a decrease of $20,-
796 from last year. From now on tax
rolls will be pouring into the depart-
ment, and from those so far received
all, with on exception, have shown an
increase in valuations over the esti-
mate furnished the comptroller’s
partment.
The governor yesterday afternoon
.issued requisition papers on the gov-
ernor of Alabama for the extradition
of J. P. Hamer, arrested at Mobile, and
wanted here to answer to several
charges of forgery, emnezzlement and
swindling. As stated heretofore, Sher-
iff Matthews has arrested Hamer at
Mobile, but it seems that requisition
papers were necessary to bring -Hamer
back to Austin.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Sept. 1.—It developed
yesterday that the opinion handed uown
last Friday by Assistant Attorney Gen-
eral Hawkins to Secretary of State
Townsend, to the effect that the fra-
ternal beneficiary act of the Thirty-
first legislature repealed the fraternal
beneficiary act of 1899 and the subse-
quent amendments thereto, is much
more far-.reaching than at first antici-
pated. This was disclosed when the
secretary of state's department re-
ceived two charters of certain frater-
nal organizations for filing in the de-
partment. The fact is, the new frater-
nal beneficiary act of the Thirty-first
legislature exempts quite a number of
fraternals from its provisions. Among
those exempted are those fraternal or-
ganizations such as operate strictly in
one country—that is such as burial as-
sociations, etc.; also those frats that
write benefits to their members not to
exceed $300, and those organizations
that transact business in one or more
counties, but not over twenty-five*
from the residence or home quarters of
such association. There are quite a
number of these associations in the
state, all of which are exempt from
the provisions of the new law, and
now since the new law repeals the old
law and subsequent amendments, there
is no law on the statute books to gov-
ern those organizations.
The charters of the two concerns
which are exempted from the operation
received for filing by the state de-
partment, are being held up until some
kind of solution is found to this pecul-
There is no disposition
on the part of the state to knock out
these concerns, and on the other hand
there is no law on the statute books to
govern them, and under which they
shall be filed. Before finally declining
to accept these charters Acting Chief
Clerk Gregg of the state department
say she will make an effort to solve
the matter some way, and will likely
call into consultation the attorney gen-
era’s department. From the turn of
affairs, it would seem apparently that
it was not the intention of the legis-
lature to repeal the old law, but the
attorney general’s department has held
that the old law is repealed.

Washington, Sept. 1.—Officials of the
National Geographical society of this
city were today greatly elated at the
news of the reported success of Dr.
Cook in discovering the North Pole.
Some time ago, the National Geograph-
ical officers say, it was feared Cook
had been lost on a daring trip in
search of the Pole. No news had been
received from him and his friends had
reluctantly given up hope of ever hear-
ing from him again. In fact a relief
expedition was fitted out and sent into
the frozen north in the hope of finding
the explorer dead or alive.

Dr. Cook lives in Brooklyn.
For years Cook has given attention
to Arctic explorations, and in 1891 he

the Belgian Antarctic expedition,
received numerous decorations from
the geological societies of Europe for

Norway.
The friends of Dr. Cook were be-
coming alarmed, and a movement had
been started to make up a relief ex-
pedition. He was expected home last
fall.
Dr. Cook started on his expedition
to the far north in the summer of
19 07. He wintered on the Greenland
coast, and in the last letter received
from him, dated March 7, 1908, he was
about to make a dash for the pole. He
was then forty miles north of Cape
Thomas Hubbard, on the Polar Sea.
Dr. Cook was born in Sullivan coun-
ty, New York, June 10, 1865, and was
educated at the University of New
York. His first experience as an Arctic
explorer was- gained in 1891, when he
went north as surgeon of the Peary
expedition. Subsequently he acted
surgeon of the Belgium Antarctic
pedition in the summer of 1907.

State Will Start All Accounts Afresh
Beginning Today.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Sept. 1.—The new fiscal
year of the state of Texas began today
and all appropriations made by the
Thirty-first legislature are now avail-
able, although all will not be paid dur-
ing this month. At the close of busi-
ness last night there was approximate-
ly $1,000,000 to the credit of the
er al revenue fund,
t All the old accounts are balanced to-
day1 and new accounts started in every
state department. There are several
thousand of these accounts. All pur-
chases made by the state purchasing
agent’s department will now begin to
be delivered.
There will be appropriations aggre-
gating over $2,000,000 to be met this
fiscal year above the regular appro-
priations made by the Thirty-first leg-
islature, and these appropriations are
to be met during this fiscal year, and
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company fine,
or rather what is left of it will come
in handy now to meet these extra
penditures, which embrace new build-
, ings at some of the state institutions.
Yesterday was also the last day in
right to do
business in Texas had in tvhich to
vfve their charters, and quite a num-
ber of corporations were revived dur-
ing the past several days. Among those
revived yesterday were the Water-
works Company of San Antonio, which

penalties, and the Chanler Loan and
Trust Company of San Antonio.
All annual reports of the state de-
partments are now to be compiled, be-
ginning today, and they will be ready
for distribution about Dec. 1.
