HER IDEAL VILLAGE.
Jersey Woman Would Have One
Church and Pure Food

New York, Oct 13-In an address
before the members of the Civic club
in the suburban town of Arlington, N
J.. Mrs. Mary Pattison, president of
the New Jersey Federated Women's
clubs, explained what she believed
would be the ideal town. Besid es be-
ing on a slightly elevated spot in
New Jersey" it would have only one
church, a big school where the chill
dren were taught how to be happy and
healthy, where there would be many
winding roads, few hills. cool, pic
turesque valley with a happy r1vuiet
a big market where only pure food
was sold and many little cottages with
large lawns. There would be no use
for lawyers and doctors.

Prof Dyche with Emil Diebitsch,
brother-in-law of Commander Peary,

rescue Peary in 1895 and found him
In Inglefield gulf
Prof. Dyche also went with DR..
Cook and about forty other professors
and advanced collegiate students on an
expedition into the arctic regions in
the interest of science.
This whole party was shipwrecked d
twice and lost it's steamer, the Mi
randa.
DR.. Cook, Prof. Dyche and all the
other scientific men and the crew were
rescued by a fishing vessel, the Golden
Hope, commanded by Captain Henry
Dixon.
Commander Peary's statement
published today" said Prof. Dyche to
a state Journal representative, ito my
mind is absolutely incredible. 1t is
based on the testimony of ignorant
Eskimos who were incapable of un-
derstanding a country to which they
had never been before, well enough to
outline such a map as that published
today and credited by Mr.. Peary to
their explanation. Only intelligent
white men with instruments could
make their way to such country and
be able to report in detail upon it a
year after the trip was made.
Believes in Cook.
while 1 believe Commander Peary
reached the pole accompanied as he
was by relays of men, provisions and
supplies. backed up by four we'll equip
ped supporting parties with Eskimos
and trained dogs, I have not the
shadow of doubt that DR.. Cook reached
the pole first and exactly as he says he
reached 1t in his own published story
and the photographs and observations
taken by himself and printed in the
State Journal. during the last ten days
in connection Herewith.
'Peary says in his statement that
DR.. Cook threatened these Eskimos If
they told anything about the trip.
DIR. Cook told me himself personally
when l visited him, at his request in
Kansas City, that he had placed no ban
on either Eskimo or white man as re-
CARDS the details of his trip except
that part from the main land, about 81
degrees north latitude to the pole and
of that part he permitted information
to be given out that he had beaten
Peary's record of 1906.
1.-The most remarkable part of this
story says Prof. Dyche, Consists of
q statement that DR.. Coo; got to the
north part of the land bordering on
the great Arctic ocean. the poin: which
he had striven for for month during
the hardships of intense cold and the
1igors of arctic climate-with ample
supplies, sledS and Eskimos all in first
class condition and then simply turned

Pole Controversy.
There Gould Be No Better Tes-

PEARY'S CONFIDENCE
Should Have Caused Him to
Bring Them Along.
DCc.er Refuses to Enter Into a
Newspaper Discussion.

Buffalo. N. Y, Oct. 13.-'I can only
say that the actual living human wit
nesses of my journey to the pole will
themselves be able to disprove the dis
torted 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 I. 1t seems to
me that he might have brought them
along with him If he was so confident
that they would corroborate his story.
He however. chose not to do so. I
will therefore send for them as soon as
possible and place them at the disposal
of any scientific or other body that may
desire to examine them with the aid of
any competent interpreters whom the
examining body may appoint"
Asked whether he would make a d.
rect reply to Peary's statement as had
been intimated in an interview at Cleve-
land. DR.. Cook said:
There is nothing to add to what has
been said. I do not intend to enter a
newspaper controversy with any one -
DR.. Cook was given public reception
on the change floor of the Chamber of
Commerce at noon.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-10-13

if it is true. it brands as an impostor
and prevaricator an American citizen
whose reputation for veracity and
honesty has been equal to that OF
Commander Peary himself.
The evidence which Commander
Peary produces as such, comes from
Eskimos who in the light of civilization
are savages and ignorant of most of tho
things that go to make up the bulk of
the knowledge of civilized people.
Confidence in ESkimOs.
THE story impugning the character of
DR.. Cook comes from these Eskimo
Peary and his associates on and around
Lieutenant Peary's vessel and to Lieu
tenant Peary and his personal asso-
Ciates.
IF Lieutenant Peary and his asso-
ciates have such great confidence IN
the honesty, intelligence and truthful
ness OF these people, would he be will
ing to put the same credence to the story
which they may give to DR.. Cook and MS
friends on DIR. Cooks ship when they
may be examined after having been
brought to New York?
why did Lieutenant Peary go into
such details questioning the Eskimos
when none of them claimed that Cook
asked not to reveal this part of the
story Peary did not know it himself.

GARRY OWN REPUTATION"
Backer BradIey's Expression on the
Peary Statement.

New York. Oct. 13.-when the
statement of Commander Peary con-
corning DR.. Cooks alleged movements
in the polar regions was brought to the
attention of John r. Bradley, the
financial hacker of the Cook expedi-
ton, Mr.. Bradley said:
Mr.. Pearys allegations carry their
own refutation. There is one feature
of his charges. however. which it might
be worth while to note. When Mr..
Peary presents this map, traced he
says, by the direction of the Eskimos
who were with DR.. Cook, he says he be-
Iieves that during fourteen months DIR.
Cook exposed himself to Iardshfps no
less than those which he would have
suffered in the prosecution of legit1-
mate polar expedition, but all to no
purpose.
when one considers that DR. Cook
has been fitted by inclination and ex-
perience for the work of exploration
and that during his manhood his
dream has been the penetration of the
boreal center, the folly of supposing
that with the equipment and oppor-
tunity he would remain inactive is
too obvious for serious discussion"

Introduction by Peary.
Some of my reasons for saying that
DR.. Cook did not go to the North Pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him. and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimoa
who started with DIR. Cook from An
oratok in February, 1908, were at
Etah when / arrived there in August
1908. They told me that DR.. Cook
had with him, after they left, two
Eskimo boys or young men. two
sledges. and some twenty dogs The
boys were I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-
lah- 1 had known them from their
childhood. One was about eighteen
aid the other about nineteen years Of
age.
on my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement

in August, 1903, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos tod me.
in a general way, where DR.. Cook had
Sound and that he had told the white
rnen at Etah that he had been a long
way north, but that the boys who
were with him, I-took-a-shoo and
Ah-pe-lah, said that this was not so.
The Eskimos laughed at DIR. Cooks
story. On reaching Etah. I talked
with the Eskimos there and with the
two boys and asked them to describe
DR.. Cooks journey to members OF
my party and myself This they did
in the manner stated below.
