PEARY WELCOMES INQUIRY.
HE CAN EASILY DISPROVE
COOKS CLAIM, HE SAYS.
The Naval Commander Declares That
He Is Glad the Prospect is Bright
For Speedy Settlement of the PO-
lar Controversy, and Claims he Is
Ready to Prove That Cook Never
Reached the Pole.

Battle Harbo., Labrador. Sept 16.
-(Via Marconi Wireless Telegraphy
to Cape Ray, N. F.-Commander
Robert E. Peary declared today that
DR.. Cook was expected by the world
to submit to ar impartial tribunal, or
board Of arbitr alton. a revised and
authentic signed statement Of his al
legged discovery Of the pole. DR.. Cook
soon would reach the United States.
Commander Peary said. and ne was
glad at the prospect of the matter be-
ing submitted for consideration at an
early date. 1t should be done inside
Of couple of weeks, and when 1t
was done. the Commander declared,
he was prepared to turn over to the
board of arbitration, to the public and
to the scientific bodies an array of
testimony which would disprove Dr.
Cooks claims for all time.
Continuing, the explorer said that
he had stated In q private message tC
a friend that DR.. Cook had given the
world gold brick" This message
had been allowed to leak out, and
while he would have preferred 6
more elegant expression, he was will
ing now to let these words stand, be-
cause they were at least emphatic
The explorer said also that he would
turn over to competent tribunal an(
the public certified copies of his owr
observations made on his trip to th'
pole. with all other information bear
Ing thereon. Peary does not care t.
exhibit these records at the presen
time, for the reason that the inform
alton contained therein. If divulged II
advance Of the placing on file Of DR.
Cooks authorized and definite state
ment, might be Of advantage to tn,
Cook partisans.
1t is rumored here that Comman
der Peary's brief will contain sensa
tional statements, and that a portion
| Of his document was prepared a.
long ago as the early months Of 1908
when letters were received from DR.
Cook in Greenland giving notice tina
he intended to make a dash for tn,
pole.
Commander Peary dwelt particu
larly upon the observations taken a
the apex of the world, and the move
rnents Of Harry Whitney. the sports
man Of New Haven, Conn.,. who ha
been described as the bearer Of rec
ords substantiating DR.. Cooks claim
to have reached the pole April 21
1908.

CHURCH MEMBERS SHOULD AS
SUME OBLIGATIONS.
DIR. Parkhurst Thinks Many Persons
Fail to Apprehend Their Larger
Duties.

What Is the Matter with the
Churches?" asks Theodore Dresser,
Editor Of The Delineator and DR..
Parkhurst answers:
'Doctrinal formulas count very
much less with Christians than form
erly. Men who think carefully and feel
deeply discriminate much more sharp
ly than formerly between theology
and religion. between the part the in
tellect plays and the part the heart
and the will play In Christianity.
There Is. Of course, an advantage
in brooding over the great doctrines
of the gospel: end II may be made
auxiliary to the life. but the invisible
spirit of the gospel will soak into the
soul to depth impossible to any for
mutation of the gospels meaning.
These things lie out too distinctly on
the very face Of Christs teaching to
excuse either those in the church or
out Of 1t for failing to act on the basis
of the view herewith presented, save
for the reason that a degree of prom
inence. due to ecclesiastical contro-
rsies. has been given to the matter
kof the intellectual conception Of gos-
pei truth. that has obscured the more
fundamental and fruitful Significance
of Christianity experienced as a new
life begun In the soul; life that leans
toward the law laid down by the Mas
ter: q life that has begun to learn the
lesson of love taught and exemplified
by Him; and life along the pathway
of service over which He has gone be-
fore.
while, then. 1t is not to be denied
that the Christian Church is the most
powerful organization anywhere for
the uplift of the race. it's power would
be tremendously enhanced II church
members would realize that church
privileges are mated with church obli-
cations, and II they would not allow
the Church to be considered 80 close
corporation as to exclude those who
ought properly to be in 1t, but who
are at present kept out by barriers
Of misspprehension and tradition"

"A Lesson of the Road Learned by :
Salesman.

Chicago Tribune.
"A salesman's desire to extend his
acquaintance Is laudable, but he must
use judgment in the manner in which
he does it.
John l.. Vance (Which is not his
name) the best salesman Of a large
Chicago house, had just returned the
night before from trip through
Kansas. He was seated at his desk
dictating when two detectives from
the Central Station presented them
selves for admission.
Are you Mr.. John l.. vance?" tn
asked.
Il am," was the reply.
And Is this Michigan ave-
nue?"
ut is"
Il am sorry" said one of the de-
tectives, showing his star, "but we
will have to ask you to accompany us
to the station. We have had a tele-
gram from the sheriff at Mcpherson.
has.' giving us your full name and
address. asking us to hold you on
charge Of fraud"
Mr.. Vance was dumfounded. He
had only been in Mcpherson over
night. had failed to sell his man any
goods, had paid his hotel bill. and
left town the following morning. At
the police station he convinced the
chief that there must be some mis-
TAKE, and was released upon his
promise to return the following morn
ing, at which time further details
were expected.
When Vance arrived at his office in
the morning there was a night tele-
gram on his desk from a clothing firm
at Mcpherson which read as follows:
Unless you wire money, will impris-
on you for obtaining goods under
false prerenses." The sender of the
telegram Vance had never heard of.
Nor did the description received from
McPherson at the police station dur.
ing the day fit him. The chief was
satisfied Of the mistake, and dismiss
ed his suspect
Then Vance began to think. He
remembered that on the train as he
was nearing Mcpherson, his COM
panion in the smoker had been a dan
per young man with whom he had ex-
changed cards. after few minutes
or conversation. 1t afterward devel-
oped that this man had presented the
card and obtained a suit of clothes
asking the dealer to send the bill
around to the hotel the following eve
ming. His expense funds were ex.
pected. was the mans excuse for not
paying cash. He had missed his
check In THO last town.
| The merchant consulted a "rating.
book. and as Mr.. Vance's firm was
well rated the credit was granted
| Needless to say. neither the dappe,
/ young man nor the suit of clothes
was to be found in the hotel the fol-
lowing evening. The register showed
that Mr.. Vance had left that morn
ing.
