PEARY-COOK
(Continued from page 1.))
or myself. The Eskimos engaged bj
me were paid ten times what they
agreed to accept.
"As to the story that Peary says
I took provisions stored by him, my
reply is that Peary took my provis
ions, obtaining them from custodians
on the plea that I had been so long
absent that he was going to organize
relief stations for me in case I should
be alive.- Fdr this'I have documen
tary proof."
This "is Dr. Cook's reply to Peary.
Coming so quickly upon other Inci
dents of the week, the dispatch de
nying that Cook had achieved the
triumphs for which he has been feted
and honored at Copenhagen, is sen
sational. But Cook himself, seems in
no way disturbed. ^_|ie was perfectly
cool and. apparently unmoved when
confronted tonight wltjb telegrams
from the United States saying that
Peary had denounced him as an im
poster. His demeanor has not chang-
iMWHJEWISBiKSHSIW
ed in the slightest from the day he
landed at Copenhagen.
Dr. Cook's friends had urged him
to their utmost to make any state
ment possible for the public, but he
said that all he had to say for the
present was that he had proofs that
he had visited the north pole on April
21, 1908. These proofs were con»
vlncing and in due time would be
given to the world.
When it was suggested to him that
his chances of proving his case
might be ruined unless he made a
satisfactory statement immediately,
he smiled, and asked how could a
man be ruined by popular clamor
calling him an imposter when he had
proofs of his case which could and
would be published, as he bad often
times repeated, when they were in a
proper form to be given out.
Regarding the controversy over his
alleged taking of"Peary's stores Cook
asserts that he has written and other
satisfactory evidence that Peary
took his stores, perhaps believing him
dead.
"Peary Whitney is personally ac
quainted with all the facts and per
haps what he has to say when he
returns may be interesting," added
the explorer. Then Cook remarked
quietly "Make as little as you can
of this and don't say anything disa
greeable about Peary."
It is settled that Cook will send for
the Eskimos who accompanied him
on the last stage of his journey to
the pole, as well as some of the party
who were sent back when the start of
the last stage began. Captain Sver
drup and Cook conferred for some
time today regarding details of the
expedition. Cook's purpose in bring
ing his Eskimo comrades to America
is to have them relate their stories
of the trip to the pole. He proposes
to have them examined by any men
familiar with the Arctic region and
the Eskimos, including members of
Peary's party, if they wish. Cook's
apparent confidence is a factor work
ing in his support in Copenhagen
Those who have had an opportunity
to talk to him are only of one mind
that he is an absolutely sincere, sim
ple man, or deserves a 'pedestal in
history as one of the greatest actors
When the latter, alternative was
suggested to him, he merely express
ed conviction that time, even if there
was no other evidence, would confirm
him in his statements, because with
the rapid advance of means of travel
his route would soon be visited by
others who could have judgment on
his testimony.
Dr. Cook's constitution is of »iron.
In the last three nights he has aver
aged three and a half hours sleep,
sitting up till the small hours attend-*
ing to his correspondence and aris
ing'at six o'clock In the morning to
resume his task, but he shows no ill
effects of the strain. Today included
a lunch given in his honor by the
British minister at the legation end
a motor trip into the country to at
end a dinner given by Mrs. Gammell.
whose husband,financed several Dan
ish expeditions. There he met sev
eral noted geographers and other sci
entists.
All day long messages came from
America to Copenhagen regarding
Commander Peary's charges. The
newspapers contained only one un
pleasant article.
The Politlken, in its leader tonight
says:
"Danes remembering Peary's last
trip with one of their own explorers,
will not be surprised at his, attitude
toward Dr. Cook."
tC

The general attitude here is one of
suspended judgment until evidence is
actuated., Cook's lecture before the
Geographical society caused profound
disappointment because the people
expected more proofs than Cook has
given. He contented himself' Jn his
lecture with repeating what had al
ready appeared in the form of state
ments in papers. The enthusiasm
oyer the announcement of Peary's
success has not waned in the least
The lie was hurled today concern
ing the discovery of the North Pole
and the foundation laid for a con
troversy unparalleled in history.
Commander Peary is making uncer
tain progress southward off the coast
of Labrador in his ship "Roosevelt"
but there came. from him today a
message as direct as his homeward
journey has been slow. It challeng
ed the veracity of Dr. Cook of Brook
lyn, and further complicates the sit
uation which the whole world is dis
easing.. In effect, Peary discredits
Cook's claims with intimation and he
alone planted the American flag at
the North Pole on April 6, 1909, and
that Dr. Cook who asserts that he un
furled the nag at the pole on April
21st, 1908, must substantiate his
claim.
At Copenhagen, Cook, when shown
his rival's statement tonight stood by
his guns, and asserted that his rec
ords would, sustain him. To protect
his right to discovery beyond the
shadow of a doubt, he announced that
he will dispatch a ship to Greenland
and bring to America his Eskimo
-r,r-— Srtijijtiauaiaggji
companions. Then, with their testi
mony and his data, he declares that
he will stand ready to face al! de
tractors-
Mrs. Cook is in New York tonight
and Mrs. Peary has left her home in
Maine on her way to join her hus
band at North Sydney. Though
pressed for a statement, Mrs. Cook
declined tonight to say anything con
cerning her husband.
By those who received word of
Dr. Cook's discovery with skepticism
his assertions today received with
gratification by those who had been
neutral it came as another surprise
in a series of remarkable happenings,
while to Cook's supporters, it was a
signal for war, Cook, if his plans do
not miscarry will sail for the Unito^.
States Sunday next and will arrive
here by September 21st. By that
time Peary will have reached home
but no one has as yet mentioned the
possibility of a meeting.oCthe two
face to face.
Peary's statement reflecting on
Cook's achievement came fir.rt to the
Associated Press early this morning
dated Indian Harbor, Labrador, ihe
point through which he first reported
his success by wireless. It had been
delayed In transmission and read is
follows: "I have nailed stripes *»nd
stars to North Pole this is authori
tative and correct."
"Cook's story should not be taken
too seriously. The two Eskimos woo
accompanied him say he went 'no dis
tance north and not out of sight of
land. Other members of the tribe
corroborate their story."
About the same time Mrs. Peary
received the following message under
same date, both having been sent
Cape Ray, N. F.
"Good morning. Delayed byfgale.
Don't let Cook story worrxj^yoa
Have him nailed."
The foregoing was signed simply
"Bert," an abbreviation of Robert.
While the message to the Associated
Press bore the single word "Peary"
as its signature.
To the Associated Press the com
mander had sent a dispatch replying
to an urgent request for authorita
tive statement and some comment
concerning Cook. This request had
been sent to him immediately after
he had flashed the news of his dis
covery frpm Indian Harbor on Mon
day.
While Peary's assertion of today is
of a nature that makes Cook's,posi
tion one of defense the Brooklyn ex
plorer yet has supporters both at
home and abroad. Many of the con
tinent scientists are marking time
pending developments, while thoa?
who have formed no opinion in this
country have assumed a similar
stand. With the Roosevelt at Battle
Harbor tonight, Peary should reacu
Red Bay, about sixty-five miles down
the coast, easily by tomorrow, where
he can put details of his expedition
on the wires.
MAY USE INSANITY
DODGEI
Man Suspected of Murder of Moor
head Doctor May Try the Insanity
Plea In Defense When the Trial it
Started Instrument With Which
Death Was Dealt Was Discovered.
Fargo, N. D., Sept 8.—The colls are
tightening about the neck of Frank
Kethman, carpenter, of 736 Ninth
street north, Fargo, suspected of
murdering Dr. Thrond S. Egge, at
Moorehead about 11:30 Monday night.
Circumstantial as well as positive
evidence, has been collected against
the man who was arrested in Fargo
As was stated yesterday morning,
Dr. Egge was murdered late Labor
Day night near the corner of Sixth
street and-Second avenue south, .with
in 100 feet of his home.
to death, his face and head present
ing a horrible sight from which even
the attending doctors and police turn
ed away their heads.
The instrument with which the deed
was committed was a king bolt from
a wagon and this was taken from a
wagon belonging to Alderman Lamb,
of Moorhead. The weapon had been
removed from the wagon and had
been returned to the wagon again..
It is supposed that eKthman "laid
in wait" for his victim for at least
half an hour before committing the
crime. The police do not have the
slightest hesitancy in saying that
they have the right man and they be
lieve that they have the evidence that
will eventually lead Kethman to the
gallows.
Further developments are expected
at the inquest today, for the police
have a great deal of evidence that
has not been given to the public, be
lieving that title ends of Justice will
be advanced by keeping silence until
the case has been presented to the
coroner and his jury.
Great credit is being given the
Moorhead police, the city attorney
of the same town, and the Fargo po
lice, who assisted materially in run
ning down the man who is believed
to be the criminal.
Kethman has a wife and five child
ren living in this city, while the
murdered man leaves a wife and two
children, a boy of six, and another of
twelve years.
It was stated early this morning
that Kethman was already preparing
the way for putting up a plea for In
sanity, and that his strange actions
the night of the murder when he
was striking the trees, as well as his
actions after his arrest, were part of
his plans.
& His attorney, Thomas McEnroe, will
appear for him at the inquest.
There is a possibility that the blood
stains on the shirt and overalls of
Frank Ketchman now held in the
Clay county jail for the murder of
Dr. Egge, can be explained in, a very
satisfactory manner by the accused
man.
Yesterday morning a stranger ap
I pcared on the construction job where
Kethman had been employed as fore
man. The new comer inquired for
Kethman. It was noticed that his
face was badly battered with appar
cntly fresh bruises.
The man claimed that he had had
trouble with Kethman In a Moorehead
saloon the night previous that he
was very drunk and unable to defend
himself that Kethman had pounded
him In the face. He appeared, he

Kethman, whom he was not aware

Moorhead jail.
There Is no doubt in the minds of

"I am convinced that Maybell Mill
man was sent money by some man
for the purpose of having a surgical
operation," said Sheriff Gaston this
evening. "This led her to leave her
home and deceive her parents. The
operation proved unsuccessful. Then
her body was dismembered and the
vital portion destroyed and the rest

Today Sheriff Gaston talked for
several hours with Miss Henning but
she stated that she had no idea what

stated that she knew Maybelle had

of them were frivoulous and showed
