EXPLORERS' CLUB EXPEL MOK Claim That He Climbed Mount Mc-! Kinley is Rejected.-Charged With Misstatements. New York, Docember 24.-The board of governors, of the Explorers' elub, met today in executive session, and standing in silence, voted with bowed heads that Dr. Frederick A. Cook be [dropped from the rolls of the club for frauds practiced on its members and on the public. Coming hard upon the heels of the crushing verdict lately rendered by the Unive'rsity of Cooeihagen, the ac :ion of the Explorers' club today is the result of inidependent investiga tions, which in now way touch upoi the Polar controversy, and the weight of its disapproval thus become cum ulative. Preliminary to its vote of expul sion, the board nmet to pass upon the report of its committee, which has been investigating the validity of Dr. Cook's assertion that he reached the snmmit of Mount McKinley. This committee, in conoludi:-g an exhaus tive report, recommended that "Dr. Cook's claim that he ascenided the summit. of Mount McKinley in 1906 be rejected by the Explorers' clu,b as unworthy of oredence." The committee's recommendation was based on its finding that "Dr. Cook had repeatedly made statements that have not been in acoodd with the facts, and that he had entered in to agreements which he has failed to keep and that the misstatements and broken agreements deal not only with the matters appertaining to discovery but 'o ordinary financial transactions, so. that no eredence can be given to statements made. by him." OLD "DIXIE" BEST. South's Fighting Song Leads All in Popularity.-Verdict of 0. C. T. Sonneck. Washington, Dec. 23.-"Dixie" has finally been officially proclaimed as first in American songs and music in ".patriot-ic popularity." Such is the verdict,of 0. G. T. Sonneck, ehief of the division of music'of the library of eongress, who has just issued from the government press an exhausti-ve report on four fautons American mus ical compositions. "Yankee Doodle," though no longer a national song, -is still a national air and second& only to "Dixie" in the popularity contest. The origin and evolution of "Yan kee Doodle," "Star Spangled Ban ner." "Hail Columbia," and "Amer ica," are treated in full detail in Mr. Sonneck's volume. He has fam2isheid as far as possi -ble a corect version of both text and musie of all four pieces. Fac similes of the original manuscript.s are repro duced in tlk volume. The historv of "Y:ankee Doodle" is described as "a perfect maze of conflicting stories" and countless ad ditions to and variations from the original. As mxany as 14 variations of the "Star Spangled Banner" are noted, accompanied by a gradual pro* eess of polisliing d modiication. *The year in wvhieh "America" was nirst sung in public is fixed as 1832, but the exmet place and date was not definitely ascertained. "Hail Colum bia"' is strictly a produe.t of the Uni te'd States in botlh words a.nd music in #6ntradietion- .to "America" ani the "Star Spangled Banner," bot] of which partly originated in Eng land.
