Hundred Thousand Neighbors
Join in Welcome to Cook

NEW YORK. September OFT ,s
probable that DR.. Cook would still he
busy II he had had the. endurance to
snake the hand of every person who
fiocked toward the home of the Bnsb-
wick Club in Brooklyn, last night. in the
hope of getting at least a glimpse of the
explorer
The large detail of policemen. under
the direction of Inspectors Sweeney and
Holahan and Capt. Becker of the Ham,
burg avenue station, made it plain to the
thousands who chung to their posts of
vantage near the clubhouse for hours
after the afternoon reception that there
was no hope of their getting inside the
police lines.
But that made no difference to the
thousands who had turned out to give
their greeting to the explorer in the aft
ernoon. Ten thousand persons chung
about the streets from the triumphal
arch erected at the intersection of Bush
wick. Willoughby and Myrtle aventes,
right in front of the old home of DIR.

close as they could to the clubhouse.

streams until by o'clock between 10
600 and 100000 we'll wishers of the ex-
plorer were struggling good naturally
to get place as near up front as pos
sible.
So great was the throng that the large
force of plain clothes men, sent there to
look out for gentry of the light-fingered
sort. had to be taken off this detail and
hustled to the reinforcement of the uni
formed patrolmen, who were fast finding
II impossible to keep the crowd from
storming the clubhouse. The streets for
ten blocks in all directions. were packed
with men, women and children all in the
holiday spirit and armed with every man
ner of noise producer.
While all Bushwick was struggling to
get near the club, the explorer himself
had slight let-up In a day which II Is
safe to say made as strenuous tax on
his endurance as any he spent in the arc
tic region. The respite was only a brief
one. AT O'Clock he was the guest of
honor at a dinner given by the reception
committee Of the Bushwick Club in the
clubhouse at Bushwick avenue and Hart
street.
Beside the explorer and his family and
brothers, thirty-two members OF the COM
mittee sat down 10 the dinner. Halfway

had intended to tarry long enough to
make at least a partial exploration OF
these on his return journey, but the
| weather was SO misty that he had to give
it up. l believe this land was between
the eightieth and eighty-fifth parallels.
DIR. Cook said that day followed day,
with experiences so similar in every detail
| when he had nearly approached the pole
that the history of one day practically
gave that of the others This partly ac-
counts for his not speaking more in de-
tail of his actual experience at the pole
itself.
DIR. Cook said he and his two Eskimos
walked and never attempted to ride The
ice became more and more hubby as
they progressed northward, but grew
| smoother as they neared the pole. At
| night, he said, they made snow house.
Eskimo Wanted to Quit.
lone touching incident was related by
the doctor of the day before he reached
the pole One of the two Eskimos became
homesick to the point of desperation. He
leaned against one of the poles Of the
sledge and wept, saying In his native
tongue:
81 shall never see my home nor my
family again Persuasion, entreaty and
finally stern command were needed 10
induce him to go on. DIR. COOK toid In
both of his lectures of the two days that
he spent at the pole and of the records
and proofs that he had of his actual
presence at the northern axis OF the
globe
at was said that DR.. Cook had left his
records with Whitney. He is quoted as
saving that they will be ready In two
MONTHS the reporter suggested.
II feel sure that DR.. Cook has brought
his records and also, / believe, the as
Economical instruments which he used IN
taking observations. He told me that he
had all of these observations workeI out
and was ready to prove his case step by
step. Probably great many sayings
have been attributed to both Cook ana
Peary that neither one has ever uttered.
Cook Was Lost for Weeks.
''Dr. Cook had no sounding instruments
with him. and he told me that at the
pole he found the ice from fifteen to
twenty feet thick. On his journey south
he made course to the westward of his
northern track He had in mind, he said.
the land he had seen on his northern trip.
1t was on this journey that he was lost
for weeks and was almost ready to give
up
He told me something of that awful
time when he was lost said Prof Will
liam Dahl, another Oscar voyager. He
said he had placed in one of his pockets
reserved these three cartridges to be used
In case of desperate need. to be used to
end their lives and their misery in case
they found death was inevitable in the
end. But he did not admit this He said
the three cartridges saved their lives.
They shot muskoxen with them when
their stores We're entirely exhausted and
they were on the point of starvation l do
not see how any one can doubt the state
mentS made by DIR. Cook"

/ Passing over what DIR. Cook intende ed
| to do within two months and within a
! year, statement attributed to him and
! published in the morning newspapers, as
direct quotation from him, was called to
| his attention.
| 1t may be said here that DR.. Cook has
denied many things which have been set
forth as coming from him. He now made
another denial.
No Peculiar Polar Sky Line.
when you were at the north POLE" was
the question, did you notice anything pc
culiar about the sky line?'
How do you mean? l saw nothing
wonderful"
did you say this?' and the reporter
read as follows:
There were peculiarities of the horizon
that distinguished the top of the earth
from any other spot / have ever seen. |
will tell of these at some other time
Il did not say that said he. That
is mistake"
Did you make any soundings at the
pole?"
NO"
Can you explain why Whitney went
into north Greenland to hunt bear when
he had such important evidence of your
discovery with him instead of at once
hurrying back to civilization?"
why should he hurry back? 1 have
the proof right with me- Whitney told
me he was going hunting and would not
be back. There was no need of his COM
ing back"
why did You go to Denmark before
coming to America ."
Because that was the quickest way of
getting home
Another attempt wa smade to get DR..
Cook to make some reply to Peary. He
only said:
"Peary is not. the judge of my affairs. +"
Are you willing to meet him when he
gets mere"
Meet him how?'
With four-ounce gloves" spoke forth
a voice from the group. The shadow of a
smile crossed the Doctors face.
Have you any bitter feeling against
Peary?"
NO, I have none"

VAST RICHES IN EGGS;
ADVICE FOR FARMERS

WASHlNGTON-In his report last
year Secretary Wilson asserted that
the eggs and poultry produced upon
the farms of the United States are
worth as much as the wheat and the
cotton crops, and that the income from
the henhouses of the land was one of
the four or five most important sources
of the wealth of the nation. This
surprising statement is confirmed by
circular No. 40. which has recently
been issued by the department of agri.
culture, entitled The Egg Trade of
The United States" by Milo NJ. Hast.
ings, scientific assistant animal hus.

This bulletin contains about all the
information that could be gathered
concerning eggs. and the author dis.
cusses the question of quality as well
as quantity He tells us how to deter.
mine the quality in eggs and how It is
impaired by carelessness, by time and
other influences. The method of mar.
