STANDS BY COOK.
One of Peary's Former Surgeons
Defends Cook.

DR.. Thos. H. Dedrick. of Washing
ton. N. j., who was surgeon of the
Peary expedition in 189S-19O2.
promptly came to the support of
DR.. Cook Wednesday. He said:
~; THE charge (referring to Peary's
statemenD may lesson Mr.. Cook s
standing in popular estimation until
ais defence can be heard, but the
scientific world will he affected only
~ scientific discrepancies. DR..
Cook VIII undoubtedly have scien-
3 fific records and observations with
out Eskimo proof
4 "If Eskimo proof Is needed, there
are enough admirers of fair play in
the world to send impartial inter
prefers to the tribe"
Analysing the Eskimo character.
DR.. Dedrick is inclined t think them
unreliable, with a temperament
which would lead him to agree for
suavity's sake and because OF imme-
diate benefit with man on the spot,
having a ship loaded with what is
most dear to an Eskimo's heart
This would be especially true" ar
CUES DR.. Dedrick, IF their former
benefactor had departed homeward
as Cook did on a sled with no halo
of a ships prestige"
In conclusion DR.. Dedrick said:
Suppose Cook next year went
up and distributed presents as ships
do, and asked If his rival had got
ten out of sight of land and they
said no., what matter would II
make to the public?"
Other important parties may YET
be heard from. The whalers which
arrive at Dundee this fall may alsC
know what the Eswimos say.
Declare Peary a Fakir.
At New York among the friend,
OF DR.. Cook who rallied to his de
tense was Capt. B. s. Osborn. sec
rotary of the Arctic Club, of AmerI
ca. who in an interview. said:
"Peary in making these charges
Is digging his own grave. He is 1
colossal fakir. and his STATEN ents ar
a fabric Of untruths. AS soon as h,
sets foot In New York, Mr.. Bradle!
and myself will give out afidavit
in support of our position.

Peary opened DR.. Cooks trunks ant
data and that he opened letter DR.
Cook had written to Mrs. Cook. rea,
Il and then sealed IL up again
Peary also wrote Mrs. Cook tellinl
her badly that her husband was
fakir."

HAVOC OF FLOODS
PRIESTS BRING NEWS OF DE-
STRUCTION IN MEXICO.
Towns Entirely Wiped Out and
Thousands of People Drowned by
Mexican Freshet.

| Advices from Monterey, Mexico
is to the effect that a number OF
village priests, after making jour
neys over miles of devastated coun.
try, have arrived there, bringing the
| first news of the destruction wrought
by the recent floods in the outlying
districts. Their stories indicate
that the havoc is more widespread
and terrible than was at first be-
lieved.
The priests of Arramberi have
informed Archbishop Lenares that
Arramberi was destroyed, and today
his people are wandering over the
country in search of food. The de-
struction OF the roads has made 1t
impossible to send on relief sup
plies.
The story brought In by the priest
OF La Ascension is to the effect that
this town and its population Of 1000
souls have entirely disappeared.
The people. he says, may have taken
to the hills. or they may have per-
ished.
mot stone was left upon a stone
In La Ascension" the priest said.
Where there was once rich farms
is now nothing but water"
Another priest from Allende says
that place also disappeared with
large loss OF life, and that the
neighboring fields have been con-
verted into lakes.
The priests were more than a week
In making their way into Monterey.
They describe the destruction as the
most awful ever experienced in Mex
leo. Aid Is urgently needed In these
outlying districts, particularly as the
authorizes are busy with Monterey
and its vicinity.
Bustamemnte and La Escondida
have been added to the list Of de-
stroyed villages.

SHOOTING OF MRS. G. c. BIGHAN
LEADS TO ARRESTS.
Coroner Swears Out Warrants for
w. B. Avant, who Shot Mrs. Big
ham, and for Her Husband.

dispatch from Georgetown to
The News and Courier says Coroner
c. J. Fletcher Tuesday swore out
a warrant for William B. Avant as
principal. and for DR.. ]. c. Bigham
as accessory for the killing of Mrs.
G. G. Gigham. wife of the latter, a
Murrell's Inlet, on Saturday night
last.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
reads as follows: THAT the de-
ceased came to her death by a gun
shot wound at the hands of w. r.
Avant and G. G. Bigham as accessory
thereto, both men laboring under
great mental excitement and fear at
the time OF the deed"
1t Is the strong opinion OF every
one In this neighborhood that the
shooting was inexcusable in its gross
carelessness, and deserves to be in
vestigated to the bottom. It Is re-
ported that one OF the probable caus-
es OF the men shooting at the un-
known object was because Sunny
side house was said to be haunted,
and they thought 1t a ghost. The
deputy sheriff is expected to arrive
with the two men tonight.
DR.. G.. G. Gigham. OF Georgetown
county. who was implicated by The
coroner and jury in the killing OF
his wife at Murrell Inlet. was ar
rested at the home OF his mother,
Mrs. M. 8. Bigham. at Forestville,
Wednesday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff Harrell. DR.. Gigham was
carried to Florence and placed in
jail upon telegraphic instructions
from the sheriff of Georgetown.

PHYSICIANS FIGHT PELLAGRA.
Campaign Against Supposed Germ OF
the Disease.

Alarmed by the number OF cases
Of pellagra that have occurred at
Durham. N. c., the physicians of that
city began Wednesday experiments
to locate the origin OF the disease.
Six deaths from pellagra have oc-
Cured in that section. A dispatch
from Durham says:
IAN examination OF the blood OF
a powerful negro who has the dis
ease in most aggravated form re-
vealed a distinct organism and speci-
mems were sent to Richmond and to
Johns Hopkins for more careful
analysis.
"If germ Is found, as physicians
are inclined to believe. some ami
NAL will be inoculated and a cam
paign against pellagra on the germ
theory will be waged. The theory
that the disease has its origin in
corn has been abandoned by the
physicians at Durham, but a fierce
war against the importation Of Wes-
tern corn Is being conducted.
"Dr. McCampbell of the State hos
pital has written paper treating
with IL cases OF pellagrous insanity
and death. Three-fourths OF the cas-
es were among women, which Is un-
usual. 1t is said, as the disease oc-
ours more frequently among men.
None Of the cases which have devel-
oped in that section has been trace
able to cornbread. One victim was
boarding housekeeper. but none OF
the boarders contracted the disease. u

DEATH OF A HERMIT.
For Forty-siK Years Had Not Left
His Premises.

Basil Hayden, who died recently
at Greenbrier. KY. had not stepped
outside the picket fence that bound

that he shut himself In little room
that day in 1868, after his sweet
heart died, and looked no more up
on men. An overseer OF Hayden's
estate named Borders was the only
human being whom the anchorite
saw. and he took care OF Hayden s

PEARY'S VAIN BOAST
That He Alone Reached the Goal
Is Not Strange, But it is Not
Accepted as True by Many Scien-
tific Men, Who Award the Honor
to Cook Alone.

to Cook Alone.
The lie was hurled Wednesday
concering the discovery of the North
Pole, and the foundation laid for
q controversy unparalleled in his
tory. Commander Robert E. Peary
is making uncertain progress south
ward off the coast of Labrador in
his ship. the Roosevelt, but there
came from him Wednesday a mes
sage as direct as his homeward jour-
ney has been slow. 1t challenges
the veracity of DR.. Frederick A.
Cook. of Brooklyn, and further COM
plicates; situation which the whole
world Is discussing.
In erect Peary discredits Cooks
claims with the intimation that he
(Peary) and he alone. planted the
American flag at the North Pole
on April 6, 1909, and that DR.. Cook
who asserts that he unfurled the
nag at the pole on April 21, 1908,
must substantiate his claims.
& Peary's statement rejecting on DR..
Cooks achievement came first to
the Associated Press early Wednes-
day morning. dated Indian Harbor
Laborador, the point through which
he first reported his success by wire
less. 1t had probably been delayed
In transmission and read as follows:
Il have nailed the Stars and
Stripes to the North Pole. This is
authoritative and correct. Cooks
story should not be taken to serious
ly. The two Eskimos who accom-
panied him say that he went no dis
tance north. and not out of sight
OF land. Other members of the
tribe corroborate their story"
To the Associated Press Peary had
sent the dispatch. replying to an
urgent request for an authoritative
statement and some comment con-
corning DR.. Cook. While Peary's
assertion Is of a nature that makes
DR.. Cooks position one of defence.
the Brooklyn explorer yet has sup
porters both at home and abroad.
Many of the Continental scientists
are marking time, pending develop
ments. while those who have formed
no decided opinions in this country
