most people will believe that Mr.
Barrill. who is not above advertising
TO the world, truthfully or otherwise,
that he falsified his diary upon Dr.
Cooks order and participated in a
money. making fake. would not be too
honest 10 sell a false affidavit for
money.
As somebody has suggested. II Com
mander Peary had assumed a decent
attitude toward his rival at the start,
the situation might have been differ
ent now as far as the public is con-
cerned. Ne che has ever doubted
that Peary went TO the pole. while
vaEions people other than pro-Peary
fanatics have their doubts as 10
whether DR. Cook really did what ne
says. and In all probability believes
he did. But the commanders bearish
manners have robbed him OF the en-
joyment Of anything like hero wor-

vor of the Brooklyn explorer which
will not be shaken unless and until
a body of competent. unbiased scIen-
lists declares unequlyocally that DR..
Cook did not reach the pole.

LIEUT.. RICHTER DIDN'T
DINE AT CHAMBERilN
Lieut.. Ballenger Tells OF Young ON
ciai's Actions on Evening Before
He Committed Suicide.

Lieutenant Thomas Palmer Ballen'
ger, paymaster on the gunboat Ma
rietta. who was the companion OF
Lieutenant Carl Richter at the Hotel
Chambe Rim Wednesday night, yester-
day gave 10 The Daily Press a state
ment concerning the actions of Lieu(
tenant Richter on Wednesday night.
According to Lieutenant Ballenger
the dead officer did not take dinner
at the Chamberlin Hotel Wednesday
but had his dinner on the Marietta
before coming ashore.
| Lieutenant Richter and myself,
said Lieutenant Ballenger yesterday.
| came ashore to the Chamberliu Ho-
| tel wednesday evening, after We had
had supper sersed us on board. Com
! ing to the hotel we met Miss Hill, inc
seventeen-y a1r old cousin Of Mrs.
Hill, and durins. the evening were
| with the young sirl and several oth-
ers. Lieut. ensEt Richter Timed in I
game of billiard, pool and also di :
scme bowling with the Grove. He W -
in high spirits and seemed exceeding
ly cheerful He had ONLY Srow1 Ia
young girl, whit is yet in school. 4
few days and the evening was spent
BY our entire party toge.n,.. There
was nothing in tiir actions vi Lieuicn-
ant Richter 10 indicate that he cor
templated suicide.
Shortly after II o'clock. Lieutepant
Richter and myself started on the re-
turn journey TO the Marietta. we
reached the gun boat about midnight.
Lieutenant Richter went to his bunk
and | accompanied him there. Mr.
Richter then disrohed. got into his
bunk and when left him was in the
happiest frame of mind apparently.
When he did not come TO break
fast Thursday morning we sent an
orderly to his quarters and the Or
DERBY found the body of the lieutenant
swinging from the strap. The surgeon
on the Marietta gave it as his opinion
that Lieutenant Richter had been dead
not more than two hours.
THE remains were sent to the navy
yard hospital in Portsmouth, where
the body will be held pending the
decision of the family OF the dead Off
Ger as to the funeral arrangements.
Richter came to the Ma
r.etta as engineer officer last Septem-
Der and was a young officer with
promising future before him. None
of us on the Marietta can imganie
the cause which prompted the officer
to take his own life. There is abso-
lutely no connection between the
death of the officer and his visit TO
the Chamberlin Wednesday. as he
had only known the young cousin OF
Mrs. Hills but few days and looked
upon her as a little miss, owing TO
the fact that she is but seventeen
years old"
Lieutenant Ballenger admitted that
the secrecy maintained among the Of
ficers and men concerning the details
of the death Of Lieutenant Richter
was due to orders issued on the Ma
rietta. He said that the officers on
the boat had hoped to keep the de-
tails OF the suicide from the news
paper. although they knew that the
fact that the officer did suicide would
get to the papers.

sam IIildrcth Has Captured First
Honors for Year OF 1900
Amounts Won.
M nERRNRr.s VIcroRIEs.


New York, Ocl g.--Sam Hildreth has
sure been leading James II Keenc a
dogs life this season Right from the
beginning OF real racing--at Belmont
park-on through the long list of rich
prizes that have already been distrib-
uted "a has been Hildreth first and
kcene second. or somewhere else
The Hildreth INST part of 10 has been
almost inyariablc and James r. has
headed the winning owners for so long
that racing has been all out OF joint
for the white and blue spots
The Futuritv went 10 the keeue sta
BILE because Hldreth has not paid
much attention TO the 2-year-old di-
vision. but that best Of baby races did
not atone for the Metropolitan Subur-
ban. First Special and many others
taken into camp by Hldreth.
The kcene coiors are hopelcssly
beaten for 1909, and no other owner has
the ghost OF chance to catch
Hildreth.
All through the season the one argu-
ment that has not been settled In favor
OF Hildreth Is the relative quality OF
his best 3-year-old Fitz Herbert and
the Keene 3-year-old Maskette.
This was TO have been decided in the
Oriental handicap at Gravesend last
Saturday. Maskotte. however declined
tho issue. Fitz Herbert ruled a $50
fayorite but had his measure taken by
Affection. t5-l outsider.
Maskettc this season has not been
a sked to meet colts. all Of her races be-
ing exclusively for FLIES She has only
started three times and on each occa-
sion she scored hollow victory.
Fitz Herbert. from his first victory in
the six furlongs OF the Pocantico, has
gone through his list Of stakes over all
distances up TO the mile and five fur
longs OF the Lawrence Realization in
;he same convincing way. and no horse
OF any age had been able TO stop his tri-
dmphant march up 20 Saturday. All
conditions of tracks, all distances, all
fields, have been alike 10 him.
This Fitz Herbert was one OF the real
bargains OF 1908. He was bred by Perry
Belmont. being a son Of Ethelbert and
Morganatic. and began his racing ca
reer in the colors OF A. J. Joyner. now
training the horses OF Harry Payne
Whitney in England.
Early in the racing year he was sold
10 Herman Brandt for something less
than $1,000 and within 10 days after the
sale Joyner realized he had made a mis-
take and he offered ia buy him back at
a very considerable advance.
Brandt would not sell but later In
the year he sold him 10 Hildreth. Had
Joyner kept Fitz Herbert he surely
would have been a better American
representative than any other Swear
old that was taken across the Atlantic
Maskette Is a daughter OF Disguise
and Biturica and was bred at the cas-
Teton stud OF James r. Keene. Her
most notable race as a 2-year-old was
her victory IN the Futurity
