on Tower Hill, surrounded by mem
bers of his family, physicians and
nurses, he succumbed to an intesti-
nal disorder Thursday afternoon, after
a fight against disease which will
rank for sheer grit with his remark
able struggles in the financial world.
Died Peacefully.
Mr.. Hartman died peacefully, ana
almost to the end his brilliant mind
retained it's integrity. After a re-
lapse on Sunday, he sank steadily,
and soon after the noon hour there
came relapse which marked the
approach OF the end.
His wife and children were with
him in his last moments.

but the swiftest automobile in the
Hartman garage had been dispatched
for the Rev. J. Holmes McGuiness, an
Episcopal rector of Arden parish, and
Mr.. Harriman's personal chaplain,
but DR.. McGuiness was not at home.
When found later, although rushed
up the mountain side at break-neck
speed, he did not arrive until death
had come to Arden house

PEARY CLAIMS POLE.
Hot Controversy Arising Between the
Two Arctic Explorers.

Hot Controversy Arising Between the
Two Arctic Explorers.
New York.-The foundation is be-
ing laid for a controversy unparallel-
ed in history, and all concerning the
discovery Of the North Pole.
Commander Robert e. Peary is
making uncertain progress southwark
off the coast of Labrador in his ship
Roosevelt, but there has come from
him a message as direct as his home
ward journey has been slow.
1t challenges the veracity of DR..
Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, and
further complicates situation which
the whole world is discussing. In
effect, it is said, 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 flag
at the Pole on April 81, 1908, must
substantiate his claims.
Cook Stands by His Guns.
At Copenhagen, Cook, when shown
his rivals statement, stood by his
guns, declined to enter into a debate,
and calmly asserted that his records
would sustain him. To prove his
right of discovery before the entire
world, beyond a shadow of a doubt,
he announced that he will dispatch
a ship to Greenland and bring to
America his Eskimo companions.
Then with their testimony and his
data, he declares that he will stand
ready to face all detractors.
DIR. Cooks purpose in bringing his
Eskimo comrades to America is to
have them relate their stories of the
trip to the Pole. He proposes to
have them examined by any men ia
miliar with the Arctic and the Eski-
mo, including the members of Peary's 5
party, if they wish.
Peary claims to have indisputable
records substantiating all his asser-
tions regarding his discovery.
