C|)()K-PEARY
DISPUTE
COAST AND GEODEDIC SURVEY
WILL UNDERTAKE TO SETTLE
NORTH POLE CONTROVERSY
BETWEEN COOK AND PEARY.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The coast
and geodedic survey will undertake TO
arbitrate the ePary-Cook north pole
controversy. Cook requests that it
should do so. In view of the fact
that Peary has been operating under
directions of the geodedic survey it
will become the duty of that body to
compute his notes without request
from anyone, and acting Superinten-
dent Perkins said today that if Cook
should so desire the survey would go
over his papers also.
Commander Peary is still in Battle
Harbor. He is making slow progress
southwark toward North Sydney, N
S., whence he will proceed to Ameri-
can ports. No further word has come
from him to any questions concern
ing the monotonous controversy
which has arisen in Europe and
America because of his challenge of
Cooks claim. Cook is still in Copen-
hagen, the center of marked atten-
ton from dignitaries of the official
and scientific world, but with dimin-
ishing prestige. owing to the cloud
overshadowing his glory since Peary's
announcement and his dramatic chal-
lenge of Cooks exploit.

TIES
WITH SEATTLE
IRA ID. EDWARDS THINKS THAT
SEATTLE HAS MORE RESPECT
FOR THE COMMERCIAL M
PORTANCE OF THIS CITY.

Ira D. Edwards and wife returned
last night from Seattle, where they
have been for the past week. Mr..
Edwards went over to participate III
the Wenatchee day exercises and
states that only those who remained
over several days can thoroughly ap-
preciate the effect of the Wenatchee
day celebration in Seattle.
Il thoroughly believe" said Mr..
Edwards this morning, that our lit
tie trip over to Seattle was worth
100000 to the valley. l have a
large acquaintance in Seattle and was
told dozens of times by Seattle resi-
dents that We made the biggest show
ing of any outside community in Sc
attic this year. Strange as it may
seem, there are great many people
in Seattle who even yet have not the
proper conception of our valley. They
look upon us simply as little farm
ing community, small agricultural
town with a couple of thousand acres
of land tributary and naturally they
were much surprised when they saw
a parade with two thousand people
in it, saw the fruit that was given
away, saw the beautiful floats and the
general showing made. I feel conf
dent that we wove stronger ties with
Seattle people and Seattle money by
the celebration last Friday than any
thing that we have ever undertaken
in the past"

Recently Returned From Trip to Europe
in Hopes Of Improving His HEALTH
Removed to His Home at Arden -
Stock Market Has Been Badly De-
moralized By False Reports

Mr.. Hartman was then about 40
years old. Whether Mr.. Hartman
entered the railroad field in accord
ance with an already matured plan
of his or whether his accidental ac-
quaintance with railroad matters sug-
gested to him the enormous possibili-
ties of acquiring the control of large
railroad systems is not definitely
known. At all events, MIR. Harri-
mans entry into the directorate of
the Illinois Central railroad marked
the beginning of his career as man
ipulator of railroad stocks and re-
organizer of railroad systems which,
in the course of ten or fifteen years
made him one of the greatest railroad
kings ever known in the United States
and placed him in control of more
than $4,000 miles of water transpor-
tation lines and of railroad lines OF
an estimated length of nearly $1,000
miles.
During the panic preceding the
election of President Mckinley a
number of large western railroads
had gone to smash, among them the
Northern Pacific and the Union Pa
cific. The wreck of the latter was
particularly bad and seemed perfect
ly hopeless. A Morgan syndicate
made an attempt to rescue the road,
but gave up the plan in sheer dis
gust. But Hartman never lost his
confidence. He formed mixed syn
dicate, backed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
of New York, and including two
members of the Vanderbilt faction,
two of the Goulds, two of the Bos-
ton crowd that had sunk millions
in the old Union Pacific and several
Independent capitalists, among them
Hartman The road was merely a
line from Omaha to Ogden, about
1900 miles long. The syndicate
paid the government $5S,000,000 IN
cash and $27,OOO,0OO to settle with

bEECHER SAYS
DR.. COOK IS
A FAKE
PESHASTIN MAN WAS WITH THE
EXPLORER IN THE TRIP TO
MOUNT MKINLEY AND SAYS
TOP WAS NOT REACHED.

S. p. Beecher, of Peshastin, takes
but little stock in the story of the
discovery of the north pole by Dr.
Cook.
Testimony that Cook did not
reach the top of Mount Mckinley
three years ago is accumulating from
the men who accompanied him on
his second Alaska trip. And as Fred
Prinz claims, others insist that Cook
did not take the trouble to pay his
men. Walter P. Miller, of Seattle,
the photographer who made both
trips with Cook, claims to be the
only man on the second excursion
who was paid in full
Cook had to get photographs for
use in his book which he issued
shortly before he made his dash for
the north pole. Miller had the pic
lures, and was canny enough not TO
separate himself from any of them
until paid in full. When Cook de-
parted from Seattle without a set
tlement he clung tighter to the
photographs. AS the book writing
progressed Cook sent appeals for his
illustrations but Miller refused 10
send them Finally, as he explained.
he sent the pictures by express, but
attached a &c. o. D." requirement
that Cook pay him in full before the
express company deliver them. After
a delay of more than a month the
money was provided.
Treated Like Prinz.
s. P. Beecher, of Peshastin, one of
the eight men who accompanied Cook
from Seattle, declared today that he
had never been paid, and affirmed
that Cook. after separating from all
but one of the men in the party, only
made a bluff at climbing to McKin-
ley's peak. Incidentally Beecher
confirmed the story told by Fred
Prinz and Ed. Barrill that Cook did
not settle with them. Prinz lives at
Darby. Mont, and Barrill in Hamil-
ton, Mont. In a Butte dispatch Of
yesterday PrinZ is quoted as declar-
ing that Cook left him stranded in
Seattle.
IT know that PrinZ was not paid,
M
the money in Seattle with which to
get home AS matter of fact none
of us was paid Barrill got some
money but that was a payment for
his solitary trip with Cook when
Cook alleges he reached McKinley's
peak. Barrill has not been paid for
his whole work.
Cook did not get to the top Of
Mount Mckinley. All the pictures
he used to illustrate his book are
pictures that readily can be identi-
fed as views Of lower levels. He
took with him a small camera which
he could operate himself, and pre-
tended to bring back a set of pic
lures to prove he had gone to the
top. In his first story when he got
back he said that the summit was
covered with snow, but his alleged
picture of the peak shows rocks and
soft snow in which footprints can be
recognized There is not a picture
that either Mr. Miller or myself could
not recognize as having been taken
at a 4,000-foot level.
Before Cook took Barrifl and
made his alleged trip to the summit
he divided the party. Mr.. Miller and
Prinz were sent up the Ketchna
river while Belmore Brown and ]
went up the Matanuska river to wait
for Cooks return.

Arden, sept. S.-E. ii. hartman,
the great railroad potentate, died this
afternoon at 3:45 at Arden. For
the past 4S hours wild reports have
been current as to the condition OF
Hartman and the stock market has
been greatly unsettled on account of
the rumors.
Edward Henry Hartman, who will
go down in history as one of the most
spectacular financial geniuses, most
daring stock spectators and great
est railroad magnates of his time,
was born at Hampstead. Long Island,
February 25, 1S4S, the son Of the
Rev. Orlando Hartman, Jr., rector of
an Episcopal church in that town,
founded in 1902. The early life of
the future man of millions was one
of great poverty. His father was a
cultured but poor man, his mother
came from an old and aristocratic,
but equally impecunious family OF
NV Brunswick, N. j. The Rev. Or
lando Hartman, Jr., had a large fam
lily, consisting Of four boys and two
girls and his income was altogether
inadequate to feed, clothe and edu-
cate his children.
~I II rrrir
early education at the district school
and supplemented it by two years
course In a boys school under church
auspices, where the sons of clergymen
paid practically nothing for their
education.
Edward Henry Hartman began his
career as clerk in a broker Office on
Wall street He showed no unusual
ability and for many years gave no
promise of his later brilliant devel-
opment. How he obtained his start
and the funds which enabled him to
buy a seat on the New York Stock
Exchange has never been clearly ex-
planned. The most widely accept
ed explanation. however, was to the
effect that during the famous "gold
corner" engineered by Gould. Fisk,
Timber and others, Edward H. Har-
riman plunged with all his own
money and some borrowed from his
brother, Orlando, and cleared enough
to buy for himself in August. 1870
aseeat on the New York Exchange
Young Hartman married early in
life and married very we'll. 1t was
In every way a very fortunate and
happy alliance.
For a number of years the broker
firm OF E. H. Hartman & Co. did a
thriving business on Wall street.
.speculating with its own funds and
executing commissions for the Van
cerbilts and other wealthy clients. II
was not until 1883 that E. H. Harri-
nan came actively into the railroad
feld. At that time he had become
known as a capitalist, one Of the few
who had gathered together a great
fortune in the ten troubled years be-
tween 1870 and 1880. He was cre-
dited with having in his strong box
a fair list of stocks he had picked
up at extremely low prices during
the various panics. Along in 1888
he was elected a director of the Illi-
nois Central railroad. He was Mt
that time working in close friend
ship with Stuyvesant Fish. who was
elected second vice president in the
same year. Mr.. Fish had also been
a member of the stock exchange from
1876 to 1879, and the two young
men went into the Illinois Central
to work along together. In 1887
Mr.. Hartman became vice president
and Mr.. Fish was electer president.
