Ba, arbor to consult General Hub
BARI, president of the Peary Arctic
4 club, as to the adyisability of immed-
lately launching hts charges against
Dr. Cook. Peary will remain in Bar
Harbor at least over tomorrow
Whether his charges will be given out
there, he says rests with Hubbard
Asked whether as reported. he would
soon 80 to New York. Peary said "The
Roosevelt sailed last night for New
York When she passes Sandy Hook,
will be on the bridge. When she
docks, ! will tell the people that the
man who found the pole. is standing
on the Roosevelt"
Peary would not discuss Whitney
excepting to say that Whitney could
not help Cook He also refused to
discuss why Whitney left the Roose-
welt for the Jeanie. He said: .I
nave only this to say. Cook did not
reach the pole. am prepared to
leave the verdict with the world.

Cook instruments cannot be brought
back for year. Cook adherants are
bitter against Peary, but Peary's
friends say he was aware of Cooks in
tention of claiming the pole and did
not intend to help his fraud.
Dir. Cook decared that the ship
which brought his two Eskimos back
from the north would stop at Etah and
pick up the instruments which Whit.
ney had cached there. He says they
are in waterproof bag and will not
be injured by lying on the rocks for a
year. He says the two Eskimos will
be careful of the instruments. Whit

Peary About Finding
Pole.

PARIS, Sept. 27.-The Paris edition
of the New York Herald prints dis,
patch from its correspondent aboaro
the steamer Jeanie with Harry Whit.
ney, sent by wireless from Indian Har.
hor, giving Whitney's account of his
meeting DR.. Cook on April 27, when
Cook told him he had passed two
days at the pole. When Cook left on
sledging trip to Upernavik he in
trusted Whitney with his sextant and
horizon finder, as Whitney said a
ship was certain to come for him.
Cook requested Whitney to tell Peary
that he (Cook) had passed Peary's
record, but not to say anything about
his finding the pole. This Whitney
promised, and, therefore, he did not
tell Peary or any one aboard the
Roosevelt what Cook had told him
about his success.
Fearing that no ship might arrive,
Whitney determined to return with
Peary. The latter told him in the
most emphatic way that he could not
take anything on board belonging to
Cook. He added he would say no
more about it, but would trust Whit
neys word of honor that he would
not take anything with him belonging
to Cook. Whitney was forced to un.
pack the Instruments, flags and boxes,
Of the contents Of which he was ignor.
ant, and leave them on the rocks at
Etah. where they now are.
Peary refused to take Cooks sled,
which Cook had given to Whitney, on
which Cook had made his entire
journey Whitney ends by expressing
faith in Cooks story, which the Eski-
mos ccrroborated as far as Whitney
was able to understand

fact that the grave OF the Conrad
baby had been opened during the
night and the body stolen.
The sheriff's Office has been busy
on the case since the discovery OF
the crime. but there is so far no clew
to the identity of the body snatchers.
