TELLS ABOUT "CONFESSION"
Thinks Peary Reached Pole, and
Presents His Own
Claims.

"Shades of my ancestors," gasped
Thomas Jefferson yesterday morning
from hlB marble pedestal In the palm
room of the Jefferson Hotel, "If It ian't j
old Doc Cook."
Tho famous explorer wrote his name
on tho hotel register and foUimcd to
acknowledge T. J.'s salutation.
"Cemo closer, son," said the old Vir- ;
ginlan, bending down from his porch,
"I've heard somu mluhty hard things
about you. Just answer a few ques?
tions for me. I thought wo all read
your 'confession' In a magazine aovoral
months ago, but now you are Insisting
that you did reach the pole. How
about It?"
"Well, Mr. Jefferson," replied tho
I doc, "my 'confession' was considerably
I edited hcfoie It was published. In
fact, It was edited eo thoroughly that
I I once thought of bringing suit against
I tho magazine. The only 'confession' l
I made In that article, or over have
made, was that I could not swear to
having planted my tube on the pin?
point of the North Pole, any more than
Mr. Peary or any other man could
swear It. In fact, tho convmlttoe that
Investigated Peary's claim said the
same for him that I acknowledged for
myself?that ho oame approximately
within two miles of the pole. It la
impossible lor any human to tak*
mathematically correct latltudo and
longitude observation? within twenty
five or more miles of the northern
axis."
So Efrg? at Kcecptlon.
"I'm relieved on that point, son."
said T. J., "but tell mr about the egg
reception they claim you got on your
second trip to Copenhagen."
"The distortion and malicious slan?
der of that affair Is likely to cost
?ontahody :rt.-,n?y," Dr. Cook replied
sternly. "I have already brought suit
for $100,000 against a New York news?
paper for its false statement of that
meottng In Copenhagen. Instead of
being egged and hooted. I was en?
thusiastically received and heard most
attentively. Listen to what the Copen?
hagen Kxpross says about that same
meeting: "Th.. meeting last night In
the Concert Palace was a decided and
magnificent success for the North Polo
traveler. Dr. Frederick A. Cook. This
was also Dr. Cook's personal Impres?
sion of the evening when wo spoke to

address, i was more than pleased by
the gracious reception tendered mo by

visit there."
"That's good newt, too," said T. J.
smiling, "out toll mc, do you think Mr.
Peary really reached the pole?"
TUiuivh riorj ucucucu it.
"Tea, l think he rcuunod it oppioxl
matoly, just a;; I did,' replied the cN
plorer. "I am not attempting to dis?
credit his attainment ot tue pole, but
l' must expose the methods he has
used to discredit my own achievement.
I will say this confidentially, however.

been sben a money-making business.

"What happened to those Instruments

und when Peary came along in the
ROOSOVelt, Whitney got aboard. Wllull
Peary found Whitney bud my Instru?
ments, bo made Whitney bury them at
Idlaw before he wotiid consent to take
the hunter back tu civilization. If the

proof of my failure, Mr. Peary litid

"But why don't ybil ^o to Ktuw and
gut them," T. J. inquired.
"Because the expedition would cost
5'J?.OO?, und I have no government or
society to back inb financially. More?
over. 1 do not believe the Instruments
arc of any such value In this contro?
versy us Mr. Peury tries to make out.
I may go to Btaw some day to bring
some of my Ksktiuo boys here. Their
Btory will tie worth il thousand in?

STATUTE IS ANNULLED
Supreme Court Declares North Caru~
Una Law Unconstitutional.
Washington, January 9.?Tho Su?
preme Court to-duy annulled the North
Carolina statute of 1005, which penal?
ized railroads for refusing to acccpb
goodj for Interstate commerce. Tho
court found the Iw to bo an inter
ferenc,, with Interstate commerce. Tho
constitutionality of the penalty law
was raised when the Southern Rail?
way was sued by Held & Bourn. oC
Rutherfordton, N. C. for refusal tu
accept a carload of shingles for ship?
ment to Scottsvllle. Tenn.
The court also doclded that Mrs.
D. u. Ruld. who wan delayed for tlvo
days in getting tho Southern Roll
way to receive her household good:-)
for Khlpment from Charlotte. N. C., to
D. -is. W. Va., was not entitled to
S'.jQ as ponaltv, and $'.'"? as damages
iii -er the statute.
In this case, tho Supreme Court oC
North Carolina held that the mere facr,
that tho railroad had no published
rate under tho Interstate commerce
laws from Charlotte to Davis, ami
could not ship the goods without a,
tixed public rate, did not excuse tho
railroad.
Tho Supreme Court of tho United
Stute.? to-day held that the Federal
government alone could regulate the)
reedpt of goods.
