REPLIES TO PEARY.
DR.. Cook Explains Entrusting lnstru-
ments to Harry Whitney.-His
Choice of Home Route.

New YORK, OepC. zt.-OF. OOOh
consented tonight to give the AS
ISOLATED Press a formal reply to some
of the most material charges brought
against him by Commander Peary. A
more complete declaration will be
issued when Commander Peary makes
his accusations over his own sigma
ture. The statement is as follows:
"Commander Peary says that my
sledges we're not fitted to Arctic travel
and that he would not care to voy-
age in the Arctic with them. The only
sledge Commander Peary saw was
half a one, which I had given to
Mr.. Whitney as a souvenir. The re-
mainder Of it had been used to make
bows and arrows.
"As to my reasons for leaving my
instruments with Mr.. Whitney, he
had told me that the Erik was coming
to Etak and would take him over to
the American side to hunt big game
and would come back to Annatok.
The distance from Annatok to Uper-
navik by the route which I was COM
PEELED to follow was nearly 700 miles.
In that journey I had to travel over
high land in two places with glaciers
and difficult places to negotiate. The
ice was extremely rough and there
was a good deal Of water to be ex-
pected that would have subjected the
instruments to a risk which was en-
tirely unnecessary when Mr.. Whit
ney awaited a ship to 60 to Etah for
him upon which he expected to re-
turn direct to America.
''By going to Upernavik [ hoped
to get back by the end of July or the
middle of August. I wanted to see
my family as soon as possible as. 1
had been separated from them for
over two years, while Mr.. Whitney
did not expect to get back before Oc-
tober.
Gas to the charge that had not
found traces of Commander Peary's
records at Cape Thomas Hubbard: !:
The point which Commander Peary
woubd call Cape Thomas Hubbard IS
a round promontory, and it would be
difficult to find any distinct point
which could be positively recognized
as Cape Thomas Hubbard. From
Commander Peary's map I am abso-
lutely unable to locate Cape Thomas
Hubbard. We did not search for any
cairn where records might be de-
posted. In fact, I did not know that
Commander Peary had left any rec
ord there.
considerably to the west [ did
see a rock which might have been
merely a clump of rocks. 1 was at a
very long distance from it, and
there was no reason why | should
have searched. I left a cache of pro-
visions close to the beginning of the
cliffs which Sverdrup puts down as
Svartevoeg. There was no lndlca-
ton near where We left our provls-
ions.
"The other points Of the so-called
charges have been replied to IN de-
tail or several occasions. I will an
swer everything in the most formal
way when Commander Peary prints
or makes public his other points. Ny
reply will be given out as a written
statement.''
DR.. Cook lectured tonight at Car
negie hall under the auspices of the
Arctic club of America.

SCORES INJURED BY EXPLOSION
Downtown Building Wrecked at
Pittsburg.-Films Ignite and
Terrific Explosion Follows.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. PA terrific
explosion occurred to-day in the Off
ces of the Columbian Films Exchange
located in the Ferguson building, be-
tween Smithfeld and Wood street, in
the heart Of the downtown district.
From fifty to seventy-fve persons
were injured, many Of them serious
ly, and the monetary damage is es-
timated at 100000 or more.
At first it was believed seven en-
ployees Of the film company had lost
their lives, but thorough search of
the ruins fail to disclose any dead.
The employees, it is now thought,
made their escape, and have not been
located, owing to the great confusion
which followed the explosion.
A score Of the injured we're taken
to hospitals. A majority Of them are
burned, while the others sustained
fractures Of the arms and limbs.
The force Of the explosion was so
great that the south wall Of the Fer
guson building, on Third avenue, was
blown out. The remaining walls were
badly damaged, and the building in
spector Immediately ordered them
razed. Windows for fully square
on either side of the explosion were
broken, and number Of pedestrians
making their way along Fourth ave-
nue., the "Wall street" Of Pitts
burg, were cut by falling glass. The
explosion was caused by an electri-
cal spark. The manager of the film
company was absent.

There is scarcely a woman who at
one time or another during the year
does not find it impossible to go right
10 sleep upon retiring. frequently the
average woman's sleep is a broken and
troubled one and her inability to get
TO sleep nerve-racking and painful.
Here are a few suggestions to use
when troubled with insomnia: The
head should be kept as low as possible
70 insure free circulation of blood
in the brain.
DO not lie in q crouched position,
but stretch every limb to its tul
length.
Sleep only on the right side. When
you lie on your back you welcome
dreams and nightmares. If you lie
on thes tomach you impede the free
working of your lungs, and If you lie
on your left side the digestion and the
action of the heart are handicapped.
A brisk walk or a shower both be
fore retiring is often found to be an
excellent preventive of insomnia.
The old suggestion of counting i'm
aginary sheep jumping over the bars Of
a fence or of listening to the ticking
Of a clock and counting them is by no
means a foolish one.

When the first radical change in
fashions came NJ. Paquin decreed that
we should wear "knickers' instead Of
frilly petticoats, in order to be Of the
proper slimness when wearing his
gowns. This was a death. blow to the
stiff, rustling taffeta skirt. which had
long been a standby in madame's
wardrobe.
Now that fuller skirts are coming
into vogue. Dame Fashion is once
more smiling upon fuzzy lingerie and
frou-frou petticoats They must not
be too fun at the top. however-glove-
fitting tops and flufiiness at the bottom
arc the proper caper. But the cling
ing. soft fabrics and tight skirts have
left their effects. and most women now
prefer soft silk petticoats. Lustrous
messaline is especially fashionable just
at present. 1t makes beautiful petit
coats-the colors are so lovely and they
may be had to harmonic with most
any gown. The material Is so soft
too. that it is pleasure to wear such
a skirt

deep fiounce. and the top Of silk Jersey

Most cities are re-vamning their build
ing ordinances in an effort 10 secure a bet
ter grade Of construction, but 1t is sug-
gosted that nothing would accomplish that
purpose quicker than REIMBURSEMENT OF
property-taNes. As things are now, If a
man does build properly he is simply
called upon to pay additional taxes, even
upon the additional sum, that he taxes
himself for the community's good. over
and above what he might have limited
his expenditure to under the law. IL is
really inequitable. The more hreproof and
better constructed is a building the better
it. Of course IS for the individual, and also
for the community, and people should be
encouraged TO so build.
Il bespeak your hearty cooperation
your advice and assistance in getting your
people to see things in the right way and
to further the movement that has been
inaugurated in the direction Of a reason
able revision OF taxes.

CHIFFON FR0CKS
And thin COATS
Extravaeant Use Of Diaphan-
GUS Fabric, Often Hand
SOmeIy Embroidered

If there is one detail more than another
that distinguishes the infinite variety OF
this years styles Il is the extravasant
use Of chiffon This diaphanous fabric Of
ten handsomely embroidered. is much
used.
From the coliarless effect last fan pro-
duced by the flesh toned guimpe Of net or
lace, we have proceeded TO, yes, actually.
collarlcss reception frocks.
Many OF the handsome reception gowns
Of satin. crepe and other fabrics are quite
guitless Of collar. or even yoke. though
the decolletagc is never decided enough
TO suggest a costume for evening wear.
Many of the new foulard silks being made
up now for spring weddings have these
collarless bodioes. a band Of fancy galloon
outlining the V or square opening al the
throat. OF course, this is rather trying
style for the woman with thin or wrink-
led neck. but since quite as many frocks
are seen with the conventional high stock
OF lace or net covering the throat one
need not bare her coliarbone unless SHE
really wants TO.
The fad for one-tone effects amounts to
craze. and the long silk gloves which
have now stepped into a rank formerly oc-
cupied only by suede and kid, must match
the gown in color. on. the wrists OF these
long gloves are embroideries in self-color
and contrasting effects. some in graceful
floral patterns. others i'm cameo or jewel
designs. When the silk finger tips wear
out one may-if one has purchased the
/ gloves Of a certain malSer-have a second
/ pair of glove hands set into the long en-
broidered wrists.
The very smart woman this spring or
ders a long coat to wear with her res.
taurant' gown. and this coat is 50 closely
built to the lines OF the gown that it seems
an inseparable part of It when on. Re
moved. Of course it shows a complete cos.
tune for indoor wear. Some beautiful
stage gowns appearing in late winter
plays. show these coats matching exactly
in fabric and color.
