COOK RELIES ON
ESKIMOS' PROOF
TO SEND FOR COMPANIONS ON
POLAR EXPEDITION
SAYS STATEMENTS WERE PUT IN
MOUTHS BY PEARY
Commander Replies That if State
ments Already Made Are Insult
ficient, He Will Furnish
More EeVidence
tBy Associated Press. ]

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 13.-"I can
only say that the actual living human
witnesses of my journey to the pole
will themselves be able to disprove the
distorted declarations put into their
mouths in the statement, issued by
Commander Peary,' said DR.. Frederick
A. Cook, who arrived here today, to the
Associated Press.
There could not be better testimony
than that given by the men themselves
before an unbiased body of inquirers.
Commander Peary evidently regards
their evidence as of the most profound
importance, and so do 1. 1t seems he
might have brought them along with
him if he was so confident they would
corroborate his story.
HE, however, chose not to do so.
will, therefore, send for them as soon as
possible, and place them at the dis
posal of any scientific or other body
the aid of any competent Interpreter
whom the examining body may ap-
point"
Asked whether he would make a d.
rect reply to Peary's statement, as had
been intimated in an interview at
Cleveland last night, DR.. Cook said:
There is nothing to add to what has
been said. l do not intend to enter into
a newspaper controversy with anyone"
DR.. Cook was given a public recep-
ton on the change floor of the cham
ber of commerce at noon.
Peary's Statement
Commander Peary said today at
Portland, Me-, that If the statement
given out by the Peary Arctic club is
not sufficient to prove that DR.. Cook
nf oh
will be Forthcoming.
when and in what manner this ad-
ditional proof will be given to the
public rests entirely with Gen. Thomas
Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic
club he said. .,,,.----.- -.,....-
"All my evidence in the case has been
turned over to him and will be made
necessary to prove my claim. l have
all confidence in his judgment and have
left it entirely with him."
When the statement of Commander
Peary concerning DR.. Cooks move
ments in the polar regions was brought
to the attention of John R. Bradley,
financial hacker of the Cook expedi-
tion, Mr.. Bradley said:
"Mr. Peary's allegations carry their
own refutation. There is one feature
of the charges, however, which it might
be worth while to note. When Mr..
Peary presents his map, traced, he
says, by the direction of the Eskimos
who were with Dr. Cook, he says he
believes that during fourteen months
DR.. Cook exposed himself to hardships
no less than those which he would have
suffered in the prosecution of a legiti-
mate polar expedition, but all to no
purpose.
when one consideres that Dr. Cook
has been fitted by inclination and ex-
perience for the work of exploring and
that during his manhood his dreams
have been the penetration of the boreal
center, the folly of supposing that with
the equipment and opportunity he
would remain inactive, is too obvious
for serious discussion"

ACCUSED MAN TELLS
TALE OF ESCAPADE
LETTERS ARE INTRODUCED IN
EVIDENCE
Having Promised to Marry
Girl with Whom He
Left

D. H. McMullen, charged with mis-
treating Hazel George, 16 years old,
after, it was charged, deserting his wife
and three children and clipping to San
Francisco with the girl, testified in his
own behalf at his preliminary eXamina-
ton in Police Judge Chambers court
yesterday, and related his story from
the time he met the girl until they were
arrested in Northern California. Al
the conclusion of his testimony he was
held to answer to the superior court in
bonds of $3000
Miss George was recalled to the wit
ness stand when the hearing was re-
sumed yesterday morning. A number
of letters which she is alleged to have
written from Bakersfield to McMullen
here during the month of May were
produced by the attorney for McMullen,
and Miss George was asked whether or
not she wrote them. Some she ad-
mitted writing, but others she declared
she knew nothing about. One of the
letters was dictated to her and she
wrote the contents. This copy and
other letters were introduced in evil
dence, and later handwriting experts
testified that the copy and letters were
written by the same person.
Detective Zeigler testified concerning
a conversation he had with McMullen
and said the latter admitted having
promised the girl to marry her.
Judge Chambers refused the request
of the attorney for McMullen for a re-
duction in bail and stated that $4,000
bonds were low enough.

Broker from Edgemont
British Columbia

aged 55 years, a prominent real estate
broker of Edgemont, British Colum-
bia, was found in a bath tub, partly
filed with water, at the Eastlake sui
phur baths 300 Mission road, yester-
day morning. The coroner was noti-
fled and the body was removed to the
undertaking establishment of John X.
Paul. DR.. George w. Campbell per-
formed an autopsy and found the man
came to his death from drowning.
Although there are many details
lacking, the coroner's office stated
there probably would be no inquest,
as they would take the report of the
autopsy surgeon and render verdict
of accidental drowning.
Ching came to Los Angeles a short
time ago for his health. He obtained
apartments at some rooming house;
Just where, the coroner or the under
takers have been unable to learn. He
went to. the bath house at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon and obtained a
bath room on the second floor.
When the place was closed for the
night Tuesday, the attendants thought
all had gone out, and were surprised
yesterday morning to find the lifeless
body of Ching in the tub.

ing as a consideration that she would
make a will leaving him quarter of
her own estate as we'll as like portion
of that left by her husband. She died

YEARS AGO
Tells of Many Changes and Remark
able Growth of Los Angeles
at Gathering of
Friends

Twenty-eight years ago yesterday at
o'clock in the afternoon j. H. Hum
phreys, the present cashier of The
Herald, and his uncle, Rev. David
Hughes, arrived at the old River sta
ton in Los Angeles, the former from
Council Bluffs, Iowa, and the latter
from Bangor, Wis.
In commemoration of the event of the
arrival Mr.. Humphreys and his family,
including a few relatives, held u
pleasant reunion last evening at his
home, 342 West Fifty-first street. Those
present were Mr.. and Mrs. Humphreys
and sons Ray NJ, Robert L. and John
H., jr., and daughter Leith Alice; Mrs.
David Hughes, Mrs. w. A. Davis, Miss
May Davis and Miss Sarah Hughes.
In speaking of his arrival and some
of the subsequent events, Mr.. Hum
phreys said last evening:
To-day is the twenty-eighth anniver-
sary of the arrival in Los Angeles of
Rev, David Hughes and myself. Octo-
ber, 10, 1881, fell on Thursday that year,
and it was a warm afternoon. 1t was
o'clock when the train rolled into the
old River station, then the principal
terminus of the Southern Pacific in the
city. At that time the Arcade depot
was not thought of. Broadway was
then called Fort street, and it was
residence street from Temple to Tenth.
places or houses south of Second, the
business center being located at Temple
and Main and Spring streets. The
Baker block on North Main street was
the finest building in the city. The
street cars were propelled by horse or
mule power and it was a case of en-
tering at the rear end of the car and
walking up to the front end and drop
ping your nickel into the box hanging
on the wall, the driver meanwhile keep
ing his eye on the box until the nickel
was deposited. The Main street car
line was the only line in operation at
that time. Central park was the only
park. The high school then stood where
the court house does now. The popu-
lation, according to the census of 1880,
was not quite $4,000.
Il well remember carrying the route
of the first number of the Los Angeles
Times through the southern part of the
city, which was December 4, 1881.
also well remember that fish frequently
clogged the water wheel that run the
press of the Times, which was in the
old Downey block. where at present the
new postoffice is being built"
Mr.. Humphreys has been engaged in
the newspaper work during practically
all his residence in Los Angeles. He
has held responsible positions on The
Herald for eighteen and one-half years
continuously.
