PEARYS STATEMENT
RELATIVE TO RIVAL
BY w. HAMILTON RHODES

Y INDIAN HARBOR, Labrador, Sept L.
"I will have no difficulty in proving
Il that L reached the north pole. My
claim is that L was the first man to
arrive there. 1 don't believe DIR. Cook ever
was anywhere close to it. l believe he is
imposing ON the credulity of his friends.
"The United States government has spent
fortunes in quest of the north pole. 1 have
the government backing me in my work,
end it seems to me impossible that with
DIR. Cooks limited equipment he could have
succeeded"

lBy ASSOClaIeu GTeSS-
N URNER, N. Y, Sept. S.-Edward
H. Hartman is y better. This
n statement is based on the as
sertion today of the two men closest
to him, outside his immediate family.
His medical adviser, DR.. William G.
Lyle, said so twice. His spiritual ad
wiser, Rev. j. H. McGuiness, made the
assertion in almost the same language
shortly after visiting the sick man this
afternoon.
How far Mr. Hartman sflaS improved
and the precise state of his health is
still a matter OF conjecture and the
subject of alarming rumors.
The official information from the
Hartman residence today utterly failed
to quiet rumor, and there seems to be
some ground for the persistent reports
that he suffered a slight attack of in
digestion and that DIR. ,Lyle's reassur-
ing statement referred to his improve
ment from this second seizure.
Condition Desperate
There is no doubt that Mr.. Harri-
mans recent condition has been des-
perate. Evidence of this was furnished
by the empty oxygen tanks that were
sent down from Tower Hill to be re-
turned to the manufacturer.
That these attacks will be recurrent
and that they must grow increasingly
ominous is the general belief. Dr.
Lyle's first statement today lulled con-
lecture only for few hours.
In the afternoon alarming rumors
poured in upon the newspaper men at
Turner and Arden until O'Clock, Wneh

So said Lieut. Peary aboard the

Harbor.
AS special correspondent OF the Lon
don newspaper syndicate 1 obtained
the only direct interview yet given TO
the world by the intrepid naval COM
mander who lays claims to the honors
which a week ago the world was wilt
ing to bestow on DR.. Frederick Cook,
land which the people of Labrador, as
elsewhere, seem still willing should go
to him as the original discoverer OF
the north pole.

Really Believes 1t

From Lieut. Peary's interview with
me, brief though it was, there was
left no doubt in my mind that he
really believes he was the first man
to reach the pole. Which of the eX-
plorers will carry off this honor de-
pends on the careful analysis of the
diaries and observations of the two
men, which scientists the world over
will subject to a most rigid examina-
ton.
Lieut.. Peary is bronzed and IN Vlg-
orous health. He is exceedingly hap
py over his success, but evidently
much chagrined by the reports that
have reached him of the success
claimed by DR.. Cook.
1t is quite apparent Lieut.. Peary is
unwilling to concede the slightest VIC
tory to his rival.
1t is expected the Roosevelt will
reach Red bay tomorrow to coal and
that Commander Peary will report
from there.
Chateau bay. where the Roosevelt
was expected to call on her way from
Indian Harbor, is closed.
Red bay is about twenty miles west
of Chateau bay.

Work has been completed on the
two mess halls, the two bath hous-

derators at Fort Ruger to be used
by the two companies of coast ar
tillery which are scheduled to leave
San Francisco for Honolulu tomor-

been in charge OF Captain Falls,
the depot quartermaster. and the
buildings erected resemble those at
Leilehua for the cavalry. The plac-

the enlisted men and the construc-
ton OF the quarters for the off,

Through a letter that has been
received by Delegate Kuhio from
George Il. Mcclellan, 1t Ia learned
that the reason that the building of

has not received greater attention at
the hands Of the Washington au-
thorities Is because a site has not
yet been suggested that will be sat

Referring to the supplies depot of

the object may be accomplished by
the construction Of series OF small
