toyDr Norman Hanson a prominent
Danish physician who several tlmoa
visited Greenland to study oyo die
cases
Dr Cook told practically the sarna
tory to one of his closest American
friends just a week ago before Com
tnander Peary reappeared on the
nccno hut said ho did not intend to
jnako it public becauso it might load
la unpleasantness
Dr Hanson was with Dr Cook for
lime time In Greenland and returned
Jth him on tho Danish government
camer Has Egcdc
Now that Dr Cook has gone ho
jTitoB I am no longer under any ob
ilgntlon to keep silent and will exorcise
GOY right to publish the otory about
toehouse in the story which Dr Cook
fcad too much delicacy to relate to
I
3no world I write it from memory
< tu Dr Cook told it to me and I am I
iullv convinced that In no details aro
my recollections wrong
Story of the House
Dr Cook had built his houao for
stores In Anatook north of Etah and
It was this depot which ho started to
reach in February 1909 crossing
Smith sound It was a pretty largo
house the walls being built of heavily
filled provision cases so that Dr
Cook know that when this Important
point was reached everything was
safe He had before the start given 1
permission to a young friend named
Whitney to use the house while hunt
ing musk oxen for sport In the winter I
of 190SOD J
Whon Dr Cook and his two Eski
mos exhausted and half starved came
within a short distance of the house in
Anatook young Whitney camo out to I I
bid him welcome but Inside the house
was a stranger a giant Nowfoundland I I
boatswain on watch This man had
been placed In Dr Cooks house by
Peary when the latter passed Etah j
with his ship bound north Peary had
given the boatswain a written order
which commenced with tho following
word Said Cook Wa Dead I
I This house belongs to Dr Frcder
ick A Cgok hut Dr Gook Is long ago
dead and there IB no use to search af
ter him Therefore I Commander
iRobcrt E Peary Install my boatswain
in this deserted house
This paper tho boatswain who I
could neither read nor write exhibited
to Dr Cook and the latter took a copy j
This copy however he docs not In
tend to publish If Pearys course doc
not force him to do so Dr Cook gavo
me a jively account of how the young
millionaire Whitney during the wholo i
winter was treated like a dog by the
boatswain and how he had wltnoosed
the sailor bartering Dr Cooks pro
visions for food and bear skins for
himself Dr Cook also had to put a
good face on the unpleasant situation
Ho bad to beg to get into his own
house and had to make a compromise
with tho boatswain
4 Dr Cook mado a present of tho I
hoiiBc with all Its contents to his two
faithful Eskimos with the provision
that Whitney was to have tho use of
the houso as long as his hunting trip
lasted but he was compelled to lot
the boatswain continue his watch The
boatswain however received strict or
ders not to exchange any more of the
provisions or guns
To Mr Whitney Dr Cook gave his

PEARY WILL TRY TO
PROVE COOK A LIAR
Sydney N S Sept 12 Plenty of
evidence designed to back up his state
mont that Dr Cook did not reach tho
North Polo Is In tho hands of Com
mander Poary according to assertions
made hero tonight This view Is
taken by a large number of explorers
scientists and others who arc hero
to grdet the explorer
Commander Peary win have with
him Incontestable proof to support ev
ery statement ho has mado in connec
tion with Dr Cooks trip to tho Arc
tic Herbert L Bridgman secretary
of tho Peary Arctic club said Pvory
ono who knpws Peary realizes that he
novor makes s statements unless be can
prove thorn absolutely When tho
proper time arrives and that will ho
when Dr Cook has made his state
ments over his signature the proof I
will forthcoming I quite agree
with President Hubbard of the Peary
I Arctic club that Dr Cook might havo
learned weeks ago in Greenland of
Commander Pearys discovery and
I that In the Interim he wove the story
of his discovery of the North Pole
News you know travels fast bmoug
tho Eskimos and It Is quite likely
Cook heard of what Peary had done
Bridgman IB Flattered
Mr Bridgman said he felt much flat
tered that Commander Pear had stat
ed that he was the only logical can
didate for the Polar commission1 I
The Belgian government In 1896
said Bridgman Invited the Several I
nations to attend an International
polar commission The United Status
designated me to act as its representa I
tive at tho congress and I took my cre
dcntlals from the various geographical
societies Arctic and Explorers clubs I
Two years later a definite call for a
meeting of commIssion was Issued I
and the conference was held In Brus I
sols In lay of that year j
The commission was designed to
develop a sort of coordinate system of
Arctic exploration which would have
presented just the sort of controversy
which has now arisen The commis
sion also planned to define the work
of the geographic and other sclentltlc
branches of such Arctic exploration In
order that tho results of each expedi I
tion might be determined and labor
economized
Peary Moves Precisely
Commander Peary felt I should bo
mado commissioner but nothing fur
ther was done in the matter
Commander Peary Is moving south
ward In the same precise manner that
characterized his methodical and well
calculated dask for tho pole Tho
Roosevelt Is being overhauled and
painted at Assize Harbor near Battlp
Harbor and her commander has or
dered that every injury sustained In
her long stay In the Ico cradle of Capo
Sheridan shall he removed before she
sails for this port
CAPT SMITH HAS
FAIT INDRO COOK
Seattle Sept 12 Captain E A
Swift of the barge Neptune which ar
rived In port today declares that he
has faith In Dr Cook and not only
believes that he discovered the north
pole but also that he ascended Mount
McKlnloy 1
Dr Cook was brae fearless and a
born leader of men said Captain
SwlftAttlJe time ho entered Alas
ka he talked of ascending Mt McKln
Icy and ho made a proposition to me
that refused because of Its danger
Dr Cook proposed that I tnko him up
the Chullitna rapids through the box
canyon In his launch I had never
seen the rapids but knew that tho
trip would be very dangerous and I
declined to try it Dr Cook took two
mon and went through tho rapids Af
terwards I met a miner who told mo
ho had seen the launch In the canyon
with full power on making sure but
Slow headway up the stream
After Dr Cook ascended the rapids
he landed at the base of the mountain
on tho south side where he followed
beaten tracks of animals lip the moun
tain This he told me afterwards and
I know him well enoUgh to bo certain
that ho ascended Mount McKlnley at
that time as he asserted

Washington Sept 12ln official clr
clos hero more than ordinary Inter I
est Is excited over the Investigation j
In Now York Into the alleged Illegal
operations of some of the transAt j
lantic steamship lines especially the
HollandAmerican line The charges
that these lines have entered Into
conspiracies with certain American
railway lines In restraint of trade
that rebates have been paid them by
some railroads and that they have
laid themselves liable to prosecution
under tho terms of the Sherman anti
trust act did not surprise thoso who
had followed the proceedings In what I
was known as the Cosmopolitan ship
ping case before the Interstate Com
merce commission
Tho proceeding was brought by the
Cosmopolitan Shipping company of
Philadelphia against the Hamburg
American Packet company and other
transAtlantic steamship lines I is
alleged that tho ocean lines named
had entered Into an arrangement with
American railroads by which the bulk
of European freight sent to this I
country was handled by the steam
ship companies In the pool to the det I
riment of the Cosmopolitan company
which also operates a line of trans
Atlantic steamers
Tho Interstate Commerce commis
sion Investigated tho complaint but
dismissed the case on the ground that
it has no authority to act The evi
I dence was turned over to the depart
ment of Justice
Not only arc the regular transAt
lantic lines involved but tho South
American steamship companies have
been brought Into the government In
vestigation The charges affect par
ticularly tho coffee trade which Is one
of the predominating factors In the
freight traffic between the United
States and Brazil and other countries
on the South American continent
The Investigation of tho South
American steamship lines Is not as
well developed but tho allegations arc
of a startling character and if sus
tained by the investigation promise
very Important developments

SUSPENSE ENDED
IN WALL STREET
I
Now YorK Sept lThe long sus
pense In which the financial world
has beon held by the declining health
of E H Harriman was ended by his
death on Thursday and speculative
attention turned promptly to the fix
ture I is this which explains the
fact that prices of securities mounted
buoyantly upwards on the news of
the death of the man whoso plans and
activities Involved more widespread
Interests and material hopes probably
than any other individual of his gen
eration
Since the financiers departure from
Europe and discouraging message
he sent to his friends as I herald of
his return tho conviction has been
general and growing more that an
early termination of his career was
approaching Tho after effect of his
death showed clearly that precipitate
bear operators made attempts at short
sales In the anticipation of a stat of
disorder In thp markel The urgent
I demand from fliEs elementof course
laccounted largely for the violence of
Uie recovery Of a class with this
buying was that by would be investors
who have feared to buy Harrlman
stocks at tho greater advances which
have occurred in them but who were
eager watchers for a reaction
This class of buyers made a clear
Impression upon tho whole stock lst
Their position seemed to be one of
abounding onfidence In the general
business Buyers of a semiInvestment
class wero largely In evidence
cass llrgely
The showing of the government crop
report last week seemed to excite no
fears In the financial district that there
would be any danger of a shortage In
the required supply of cereal crops
The same hopeful spirit regarding
the financial outlook prevailed against
the evidence of heavy inroads making
on tho cash reserves of the banks dIll
lug the last weak Tho Interior de
mand upon the reserve centers set In
In large force But the rates for money
remained unaffected Weekly reports
of the great foreign banks showed a
position so strong as to afford a ready

Wnshlngon
great suffering In the flooded districts
of Mexico as told In telegrams re
ceived at tho state department today
from ConsiidGenoral Philip C Hanna
brought forth another appeal tonight
brougt the American National Red
Cross society for funds with which to
supply our unfortunate neighbors of
Mexico with the necessities of life
Tho loss of life and destruction of
property Is even greater than was at
Mm supposed and I Is predicted that
great physical suffering will prevail
among the homeless during tho fall
and winter
Tho destruction was greatest In the
country and small towns between
Monterey and Matamoras Mr Hanna
says the American consul at Mata
moms reports that place under water
and serious conditions of affairs pre
vailing and that tho railroads be
tween Matamoras and Monterey hare
been washed away
We are sending supplies down tho
railroads as fast as It Is opened said
Mr Haunas appeal He suggested I
that It might ho possible for tho
American army In the southwest to
cooperate with the Mexican army and
American and Mexican consults In assisting
sisting tho border towns
I Is believed by man Mr Hanna
said that more than ten thousand
lives have been lost and thousands
le8
are homeless
Relief work Is being carried on by
the head members of the Mexican Red
Cross In attempting to build small
homes for the sufferers before the
cold weather sets In In maklpg his
plea for aid the consul general says
there are great numbers who liavo
lost their all and who will suffer ant
die wltlioulonl help and shelter
The Mexican people he continues
are doing nobly to meet the situa
tion but nearly every Mexican busi
ness man and property owner has suf
fered losses and has done all that he
Is able The people of England Ger
many Canada and the United States
have sent help In large and small
amounts A more generous effort on
the part of our people seems greatly
needed
All contributions received at tho
headquarters of tho Red Cross In
Washington will bo Immediately for
warded by telegraph to the reliable
relief agencies upon the scene
