BARRILL'S AFFIDAVIT
HAS LITTLE EFFECT
ON DANISH OPINION

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 15.-The affi-
davit of Edward N. Barrill, denying
that DR.. Frederick A. Cook reached
the summit of Mount Mckinley, and
which was considered here as vague
reply to the affidavit by DIR. Cook, is
believed to have weakened somewhat
the American explorers position that
he assembled the mountain.
Public opinion, however, still favors
his claim that he reached the north
pole.
Professor Torp, rector of the Uni
versity of Copenhagen, said:
1T is clear that DIR. Cook is being
pursued by enemies. There is no rea-
son for a change of opinion because
these stories are printed. 1t is i'm
possible to check them"
Capt. Otto Sverdrup, the Arctic ex-
plorer, also thought that the denial
of DR.. Cooks conquest of Mount Nc
Kinley was due to his enemies.
Commander Hovgard, also an Arctic
explorer, said:

After thorough investigation he re-
ported to me that an offer of con-
siderable sum of money was made to
Mr. Barrin on the condition that he
prepare and sign an affidavit which
would be calculated to discredit my
claim that 1 succeeded in scaling the
Alaskan peak.
"This offer, so my report informs
me. was made to Mr.. Barrill in the
presence of c. G. Bridgford. repu-
table citizen of Hamilton, Mont, who
is associated with MIR. Barrill in the
real estate business.
"Barrill at that time. according to
the statement Of Mr.. Bridgford to my
representative, declined to make such
an affidavit and informed the men who
had requested him to swear that l did
not reach the top of Mount Mckinley
that to make such an affidavit he
would have to commit perjury and sell
his own SOUL
Met Walter Miller
"several days after this proposal was
made to Mr. Barrille he, in company
with Frederick Printz, who also was
a member of my Mt. Mckinley expe
ditfon, joined Walter p. Miller, the
official photographer of that expedi-
tion, in Missoula, Mont, and accom-
panied him to Seattle and Tacoma. 1t
was while on this trip, am Informed,
that Barrill made the affidavit which
was printed in New York for the first
time yesterday.
"Since Barril1 and myself were the
only two members of the party to
reach the top of Mt. Mckinley it is
now simply q question Of my word
against his statement. Within the
next forty-eight hours, however, affi-
davits made by prominent citizens of
Hamilton, Mont, will be handed over
to the Associated Press and will be to
the effect that during the last three
years Barrill has continually rehearsed
the Mt. Mckinley story and has at all
times insisted that we succeeded in
reaching the summit of the mountain.
"No one has been found in Hamilton
who can testify that at any time he
has ever heard Barrill tell the story
as it is related by him in his sworn
affidavit.
Refute BarrilI Story
az have today received numerous
kilograms from reputable citizens of
Montana who have talked with Barrill
and are willing to make affidavits as
to his former version of the Mt. Nc
Kinley trip. 1 have tonight forwarded
a telegram to Anthony Fiala asking
him to head an expedition to Mt. Nc
Kinley to bring back my records.
Another telegram has been sent to
Prof. H. C. Parker of Columbia uni
versity. who accompanied me in the
early stages of my last Mount McKin-
ley expedition, asking him to join
Fiala. I have the assurance that the
necessary funds for the expedition
will be forthcoming, and the expedition
will be entirely under the supervision
and direction of Mr.. Fiala. The pre-
Iiminary arrangements for the trip
will be made at once and the eXpedl-
fion will start at soon as the weather
permits next year.

doubt invite number of experts in |
