according to the boys statement, they
had killed deer, bear, some of their
dogs, seal, walrus and some musk
oxen.
The second boy was then called in

gether, the second boy suggesting
some changes as noted hereafter.
Finally, Panikpah, the father, was
again called in to verify details of
the portions of the route with which
he was personally familiar
The bulk of the boys testimony was
not taken by Commander Peary, nor
in his presence, fact that obviates
any possible claim that they were
awed by him.
Certain questions on independent
lines from the direct narrative of the
Eskimo boys were suggested by Com
mander Peary to some of us, and were
put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later, Commander Peary asked
the Eskimo boys two or three casual
questions on minor points that had
occurred to him.
| During the taking of this testimony
it developed that DR.. Cook had told
these boys, as he told Mr.. Whitney
and Billy Pritchard, the cabin boy
that they must not tell Commander
Peary or any of us anything about
their journey, and the boys stated DR.
Cook had threatened them If they
should tell anything.

Woman's Grewsome "Joke."

Man may be a brute, but when it
comes to subtle, cunning and fiendish
cruelty woman takes the palm. Only
woman could have conceived of the
"joke" of sending one undertaken
after the other to a house where no
one had died and where there had not
even been a case of sickness for a
long time. In every case the under
takers had been called up by wom-
an, who informed them that some
body had died at a certain address in
the Bronx and requested them to call
there with their gruesome paraphar-
MALTA as soon as possible. A perfect
procession of undertakers was thus
kept going to that house until the
owner, driven frantic, appealed to the
police for protection.

Signed Statement of Peary, Bartlett,
Mcmillan, Borup and Henson, in
Regard to Testimony of Cooks Two
Eskimo Boys.
The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo
and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied DR..
Cook while he was away from Anora-
tok in 1908 and 1909, were questioned
separately and independently, and
were corroborated by Panikpah, the
father of one of them Q-took-a-shoo)
who was personally familiar with the
first third and the last third of their
journey, and who said that the route
for the remaining third, as shown by
them, was as described by his son
after his return with DR.. Cook.
Notes of their statements were ia.
ken by several of us, and no one OF
us has any doubt that they told the
truth.
Their testimony was unshaken by
cross-examination, was corroborated
by other men in the tribe, and was
ELECTED neither by threats nor prom
ises, the two boys and their father
talking of their journey and their ex
periences in the same way that they
would talk of any hunting trip.
To go more into details: One Of
the boys was called in, and, with 9

asked to show where he had gone with
DR.. Cook. This he did, pointing Out

TAKES A WALK
First Executive Since General Grant
to Stroll About Streets of
the Capital.

Washington, Nov. 24.-President Taft
walked the streets of Washington to-
night and mingled with the people of
Pennsylvania avenue with only few
signs of recognition from passers-by.
Whenever he was addressed he DOTTED
his hat. Incidentally, it might be re-
marked that Mr.. Taft is the first presi-
dent of the United States to take such a
journey since the days when General
Grant, smoking his black cigar, strolled
about the capital.
When O'Clock struck the President

his private office in search of Captain
Butt, his military aide.
Butt, let's walk for a while tonight, .
said the President. IT'S too slippery

Accordingly, the President and the
army officer spent more than an hour
stepping along at a lively pace over
sidewalks spotted with sleet and snow.
The President was clad in a rough suit
of tweed, a Derby hat and a light over
coat. He seemed much interested in
the shop windows. When the two re-
turned to the White House dinner was
ready, and Mr.. Taft seemed glad of the
