BALDWIN BELIEVES BOTH.
Explorer Who Has Made Arctic Trips
Credits Peary and Cook

NEW YORK. Sept 7.-Evelyn Briggs
Baldwin. the explorer, who has made
tlips to the arctic regions. was enthusiasts
tic Monday night over the news that
Peary had also discovered the pole.
THE news was doubly gratifying TO
me- he said. because | had been wait
ing all day to hear from Peary. | have
no reason to believe otherwise than that
this is reliable information. l credit
both mems stories.
Il rely on Peary because of his long
experience and also because his Observa-
tons have never been questioned. and |
believe Cook, because he fully realized
that his observations must be accurate IN
order to avoid the stigma that would at
tach to his name otherwise. DR.. Cook
had undoubtedly been preparing for this
emergency for some time previous to his
departure, since he was equipped with
three fine chrOnometers and seXtants.
Had he been Indifferent as to his OBJ
servations he would not have supplied
himself so thoroughly. His observations,
however, would not perhaps be taken
offhand so readily as those of Peary, ow,
ing to the latter's long experience ana
training.

MRS. COOK BREAKS SILENCE.
Makes First Comment and Congratulates
Peary Upon His Achievement.

PORTLAND, Me. Sept. 7.-Breaking
her long silence. Mrs. Frederick A. Cook,
whose husbands claims Of having dis
covered the north pole antedate those of
Commander Peary. commented today on
the reports of Commander Peary having
reached the goal of his ambition.
Mrs Cook said: IF Commander Peary
has discovered the pole, as l am sure my
husband DID, l heartily congratulate
him."
The New York dispatch stating that
Rudolph Francke had brought to her a
diary from her husband at Etah, which
Mrs Cook had transcribed and which
would go far towards proving her hus-
bands claims to the discovery of the
pole. was denied by the wife of the ex-
plorer Mrs. Cook stated that Francke
had merely brought DR.. Cooks trunk
from Etah. and that she knew nothing
of its contents.
Mrs Cook said that as yet she had
made no arrangements for meeting her
husband. and was undecided as to when
she would leave Portland.

DIARY IS COOKS EVIDENCE.
Important Document in Safe Deposit
Vault in New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-One of the
most important pieces of documentary
evidence on which DR.. Cook will rely to
prove his claim of discovering the north
pole, it was learned today, is already II
this city. 1t is a diary kept by the eX
plorer up to the day he severed connec
ton with his last white companion.
The diary was left at Etah, Green
land, when the discOverer departed on
his quest farther north and was brought
here by Rudolph Francke, the steward
of the expedition, when he got Woro
from Cook to leave Etah and go home
taking with him the records OF the
expedition up to that time. Francke dG

Wolf Trap, Climbs Tree and Then
Falls to His Death.

QUINNESEC. Mich, Sept. 7.-ISpe-
cial. Making the rounds of his wolf
traps in the Fence river district of Dick
inson county. ROLAND Ames. one of the
best known Of upper Michigan's hunt
ers and woodsmen, discovered that a
black bear had become caught in a trap
and had made off with it. He follow
the trail for ten miles ana was sur
prised to find not only did it lead back
TO within few rods of the starting
point. but that the trap hung from the
limb Of a tree and the bear. dead with
n broken neck, lay beneath it. 1t is
surmised that the bear sought safety in
the tree and. becoming entangled in the
trap chain. fell TO the ground, the weight
of the animal breaking the chain in
such 4 manner as to leave the trap sus-
pended from the limb.

IS GREAT AID TO SCIENCE.
American Coast Survey Will Receive
Benefit from Peary's Report.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. =
The coast and geodetic survey is very
proud of Commander Peary's achieve
ment i'll reaching the pole. The com
mander was. under detail to the coast
survey during his expedition. and the
entire service feels that it will receive
some reflected glory from the result. 1t
is also believed that the world at large
will he benefited in many ways by Mr.
Pearya observations.
The survey is especially interested in
tidal currents of the polar region. and
it is believed that the Peary report when
made Will afford much information re-
garding it. Said Acting Superintendent
Perkins today, in discussing the sub
ject:
The first service which the survey
will expect of Mir. Peary after his ar
rival will be the preparation of more
detailed report of his expedition. We
are especially interested in such tidal
ObSerI ations as he was able to make and
these will be of great Importance both
in the study of the circulation within
the polar basin as well as in the general
study of the laws governing the tidal
currents of the world
Mr.. Perkins expressed confidence that
Mr.. Peary would be able to report the
location Of land nearer to the pole than
hitherto has been found. The nearest
known earth to the pole is Croker land
but Peary land is almost as near.
Both are about 800 miles distant from
the apex of the world, but the officials
of the survey are convinced from the
direction of the currents that there is y
comparatively large body of land some
what farther to the west and nearer TO
the pole than Crocker land. and they
believe that Peary will he able 20 supply
information concerning it. The incom-
plete report of DR.. Cooks observations
sustains them in this theory as far as

ALL TAKEN OFF IN BOATS.
Men, Women and Children Stampede
from Their BeIths When Big
Liner Strikes.
VESSEL IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS.

ST. JOHNS, n. F.. Sept. 7.-Thrilling
scenes attended the loss of the Allan
LINE steamer Laurentian, bound from
Boston for Glasgow. which piled upon
the rocks near Cape Race during a dense
fog Monday. The vessel is a total
wreck, but the fifty passengers and forty
members of the crew escaped to land
after "a trying experience.
Passengers in Stampede
The Laurentian was making about
thirteen knots an hour when she struck
the rocks. The ship rebounded heavily,
the shock throwing most of the pas
SengerS, who were asleep, from their
bcrlhs. They stampeded for the deck
without stopping to dress, and for half
an hour much excitement prevailed.
Capt. Imrie and his officers succeeded Ill
quoting all hands. A stiff northeast
wind hanged the ship about, and the
situation became 50 serious at { o'clock
that orders were given to put the boats
overheard. Twenty-Five of the paSseng-
crS. mostly women and children, were
placed i'll the first boat. but, unluckiy.
the bow tackle collapsed and they were
thrown into the sea. Capt. Imrie had
ropes thrown over the side, and within
fifteen minutes those who had been i'm
mersed were drawn TO the deck by
sailors.
BailIng Keeps Boat Afoat
Finally six more liftboats were put
over and the passengers transferred to
them. The stormy seas constantly
drenched the shipwrecked people. and it
was only by constant baiIing that the
lifeboats were kept afloat.
About 10 o'clock. after the boats had
been adrift two hours, fishing boat
was sighted. The boat piIloted the life
and crew were cared FOR by the fisher
folk. a steamer left st. Johns to bring
the shipwrecked people to this port.
Soon after the Laurentian piled up the
plates amidship gave way. Later the
hull broke in two near the engine room.

mound which he has discovered upon
his land and which is rich in phos-
pilates. Within few months it is
expected that the orchardists of this
section will be growing produce with
the bones of ancient Indians
This mound is eight feet high on the
average and covers about two acres.
1t is evidently an old burying ground.
as human remains. skulls and bones
have been unearthed, together with
beads shells and trinkets The earth
is finely pulverized and full of all
manner of substances highly decom-
posed
Ponce recently sent sample of the
earth to the University OF California
for examination and has received re-
port that it is full of phosphates and
is one of the finest of fertilizers. He
has promised to send a sample of the
earth to the chamber of commerce in
this city and will arrange to put it
on the market as fertilizer
1t is probable the mound builders
responsible for this burial ground were
a prehistoric tribe. as remains of later
Indian tribes have been found Just
north of the site of the Hotel Ven
dome, where an ancient pueblo existed.
The latter Indians. however. merely
buried their dead in the ground at some
distance from the streams Several
