Knew That Cook Would Anyway Announce Dis
covey' Of Pole, So Planned to Ba|k Any Crook
ed Wok--The |ntimafon Might Show That
PeaIy May Have Had Man in Cooks Party.

New York, Oct 1O.-lt was learned
from an authoritative source Saturday
that the carefully prepared broadside
of evidence which Commander Pcary
has been compiling ever since his re-
turn from the North. with which he
hopes to disprove Cooks claim to have
reached the pole. would be made pub
lie within the next IS hours.
The official statement is said to COM
Prise many typewriter sheets. All
those who have seen it We're llnani-
nous in the expression of belief that it
will completely disprove not only DR..
Cooks claim of the pole, but many of
the statements he has made concern
ing his adventures within the Arctic
zone.
Among other things, the document
which the commander hopes Will knock
out DR.. Cocks claim, is said to contain
a statement that the Cook expedition
left this city two years ago with the
determination to return with the asser-
ton of polar discovery.
With this in mind, Commander
Peary. as he is expected to assert, laid
his plans to combat claims of the
Brooklyn physician i!cforc the Roos1-
welt last set sail for the polar seas. 1t
is asserted that Commander feary's
document will tell of constant survei-
lance Of DIR. Cook by Peary's men dur
ing the two years Cook spent in the
icc-bound regions.
That this surveillance resulted in the
discovery that DR.. Cook never went out
of sight of land, and that his assertion
of polar success was a mere fabrica-
ton was the confident declaration from
The authoritative source through which
the present information regarding
Pearys report was obtained.

Reading was again the great prominent feature. After re- acting A some buying put the price up to above 13O. Union Pacific was strong advancing one point. The majority of the list in the late forenoon generally showed slight recessions from yester- day.

Continued covering of shorts caused a firm advance in it's price but at the higher level business in that stock as we'll as in the other important railroad issues fell off to very small figures.

CBy Our Staff Correspondent.)
 Hartford. March 18.-The hearing on
 charter amendments before the com
 mitte, on Cities and Boroughs. yester-
 day afternoon. was marked by re- newal of the struggle between Mayor Lee and the Bridgeport Common Coun- cil, the one seeking the passage of the bill for a permanent paving commits sion. the other opposing such bill
 A non partisan committee of alder Gould, Griffin. and McMurray repre- scented the council. They. had been ap- pointed by the Council. but the resolu- tion had not been signed by the mayor.
 The mayor declared that the paving laid under the direction of the Street committee in Bridgeport is very poor. Tlte aldermen showed that paving work in Bridgeport was much better done than in New Haven. where the work is in the hands of a permanent com mission.
 Alderman Clifford B. Wilson. Alder man William E. Primrose, Former Sen ator William R. Brown. Elmer H. Ravens. Judge A. B. Beers and Repre- sentative Clarke favored the plan of the mayor.
 Alderman Gould made the principal argument against the amendment.
 There was no opposition to any of the amendments favored by the Com mon Council. They will doubtless be adopted by the committee on Cities and BoroughS and recommended for pass age. These amendments include a provision for the appointment of the city attorney by the mayor, for the appointment of the city surveyor by the mayor. and a number of other changes.
 There was some discussion of the amendment increasing the powers of the board of fire commissioners. The council had voted against this amend ment, but in misunderstanding of its terms.
 It is likely the change will be recom- rnended by the committee and that the fire board will be authorized to have two assistant chiefs, instead of one. - The Little Joker bill. which con- tains the amendment that, if it is will compel the city of to pay damages for riparian rights when it lays harbor lines. was taken up and was continued at the re- quest of Representative Clarke.
 MT. Clarke said that he wanted time to prepare a statement. vindicating himself from statements reflecting up- on him.. which had been made by a because he introduced the bill in question. Attorney w. B. Board man. representing the New Haven Railroad company. after consulting with Representative Clarke, consented to the postponement.
 The amendment increasing the salary of Building Inspector Daniel N. Row and to S1 800 probably will be recom- mended by the committee, less a. re- duction of $20O.
