The Automobile Dealers Association learned last night that their loss from the Snake Hill climb will reach about 300 dollars. Parking receipts fell short of expectations and entry fees were only nominal. Meanwhile in a separate matter, Rudolph Francke sues Robert E. Peary for 10 000 dollars, claiming Peary confiscated furs and ivory while Francke was ill in 1908 Utah. Peary denies the suit as ridiculous and has referred the case to US Ambassador David J. Hill in Berlin. He is en route to London and Cook is believed to be in Europe, last heard in Scotland.
