PEARY AT THE POLE.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. b.
Nia Wireless Telegraph to Cape Bay,
n. FD.-Commander Robert e. Peary,
who is still ut Battle Harbor on board
the steamer Roosevelt, conversed
further today with the representative
of The Associated Press regarding his
journey to the North pole. He spoke
particularly of the flags he raised at
the pole, the records he left there and
be touched again on some of the as
sertions credited to Dr.. Frederick A.
Cook.
Commander Peary said that when he
reached the pole the first flag to be
thrown to the breeze was a silhen
American emblem presented to him by
his wife Is years ago. He mad carried
this flag on every one of his expedi-
lions 20 the north, leaving a piece of
il at the highest point he attained
The last remnants were raised and left
at the pole. The explorer then raised
the navy ensign, the flag of the Navy
League, then the flag of the Delta
Kappa Epsilon fraternity and finally a
flag of peace. Tent poles and snow
lances We're used as hagstaffs and
when all had been raised the com
mandcr took number of photographs
of the group.
After this ceremony Peary enclosed
records of his trip ard other docu-
ments and personal papers in box
and buried it in the ice. The doca.
ments were placed in watertight GOV.
erings and the box itself was water
tight. so it would float if the shifting
or melting ice brought it to water.
Commander Peary has not yet devel-
oped the photographs he took at the
pole.
Referring to the weather conditions
at the apex of the world Commander
Peary said he found nothing like the
revolving wind referred to by Antarc
tic explorers. He said. weather condi-
tionS varied from time to time, al
though there was PROBABLY consider
able uniformity He would not say
whether or not he found currents at
the pole.
Commander Pearyl today received a
cablegram asking him to make a state
ment regarding a report from Danish
source that he had posted a notice on
the Greenland coast to the effect that
Ut. 1OOk was utdu, lHdhl1IS LUIS Ho-
ticc a pfetcxt for the appropriation OF
DR.. Cooks supplies.
The explorer said to The Associated
Press representative that he knew
nothing of this; that it evidently was
a newspaper publication. He expects
to be quoted enormously in the press
as making 4 variety Of statements.
Commander Peary has said already
all he intends to say regarding DR.

THE BANQUET TO COOK.

New York, Sept. 15.-The sale of
tickets for the welcome home banquet
to DIR. Frederick A. Cook, which open
cd today, satisfied the committee in
charge that there are plenty of persons
who have faith enough in the Brook
lyn explorers claim to pay S. apiece
for the privilege of attending that
function. DR.. Roswell o. Stcbbins,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Arctic Club. which is arranging
the dinner, said that up to noon he had
received 200 applications for seats
The banquet will occur at the Wal
dorf Astoria on the evening of Sept
90, two days after DR.. Cooks. expected
arrival. Since the number of guests
is limited to 1900 the committee be
lieves that the demand for seats will
exceed the supply and is taking precau
lions to keep the tickets out of the
hands of spectators. Purchasers must
give their names and addresses and no
person is permitted to buy more than
one ticket.
| The Cook welcoming committee of
the Arctic Club declares also that
here is big demand for tickets for
he steamer Grand Republic on which
delegation will go down the harbor
0 meet DIR. Cook and transfer him from
lis steamer the oscar II at Quaran-
inc.
Because it is now certain that Com
mander Pcary will not arrive until
sometime later. preparations for meet
ng him are still in allegiance 1t is be-
lieved that public officers. national
state and city, will hesitate to partici-
pate officially in the welcome to either
claimant of Arctic honors while the
controversy between them is still I'M
settled. Acting Mayor MCGOWAN said
today that nothing had been done by
the city toward recognizing the arriv-
al of DR.. Cook. Mayor Mcclellan left
town yesterday without acting on the
memorandum regarding DR.. Cook which
Acting Mayor MCGOWAN says he left
on his desk.

PEARY COMING NEXT WEEK.

Sydney, N. S., Sept. 15.-Mrs. Robert
f.. Peary today received. the following
telegram from her husband at Bat
tie Harbor, Labrador:
Cannot arrive before end of week."
1t is hardly expected mere that the
Roosevelt will reach Sydney before the
early part of next week. She makes
but five knots an hour and she prob
ably would be further delayed by
stormy weather. 1t is clear that COM
mander Peary is going to stick to the
Roosevelt and not take advantage Of
any offer made him TO come down
from Rattle Harbor on another ves-
sci. sydney is waiting TO welcome the
explorer with undated interest and
the prerarations for his entertainment
are all completed.
Harry Whitney Of New Haven, Ct.
who is believed to have In his possess
sion documents and records proving
the claim of DR.. Frederick A. Cook
that he reached the North pole in
April of 1908. will find several hundred
kilograms addressed to himself when
he reaches Sydney. At present his
whereabouts are unknown, but the 40.
cumulatior of communications for him
here leads to the belief that ne NAV

NOT MANSLAUGHTER.
Frank Leonard of Scarboro Died oil
Heart Trouble, Not Violence.

Portland, Me. Sept. 15.-The coro-
ncrs jury to inquire into the death Of
Frank Leonard of Scarboro, who died
last Friday at a suburban casino,
where it is alleged he and Robert
Lawson of South Portland had been
drinking together and later got into Z
fight was concluded this afternoon.
Lawson was arrested Saturday on a
charge alleging manslaughter and held
for the grand jury which is to report
for the regular term of court tomor-
row. Lawson when arrested admitted
having struck Leonard, but said he did
not think he struck him hard. The
coroner's jury found that death was
not due to the blows struck, but that
it was a case of dilation of the heart
1t is thought that the grand jury vii
only bring a charge of assault ans
possibly no charge will be found
against Lawson.
