DR.. Cook Demands Proof
From Commander Peary

ON BOARD OSCAR II, by United Wire
less Telegraph, via Boston. September 10.
DR. Cook today made the following
signed statement:
commander Peary has as yet given to
the world no proof of his own case. My
claim has been fully recognized by Den
mark and by the King of Sweden; the
President of the United States of Amer
lea has wired me his confidence; my claim
has been accepted by the International
Bureau of Polar Research at Brussels;
most Of the geographical societies of
Europe have sent me congratulations,
which means faith and acceptance for the
present, and almost every explorer Of note
has come forward with warm and friendly
approval
"A specific record of my journey is ac-
cessibe to all, and every one who reads
can decide for himself. When Peary pub
lishes similar report. then our cases are
parallel. Why should Peary be allowed
to make himself self-appointed dictator
OF my affairs? In justice to himse--, in
justice to the world and to guard the
honor OF national prestige, he should be
compelled to prove his own case; he
should publish at once a preliminary mar
rative. to be compared with mine. and
let fair minded people ponder over the
matter. while the final records by which
our case may eventually be proved are
being prepared.
II know, Peary, the explorer. AS such
he is a hero in arctic annals, and de-
serves the credit of long and hard rec
ord. To Peary. the explorer, l am still
willing to tip my hat. out Peary's I'M
founded accusations have disclosed an
other side to his character, which will
never be forgotten.
when Peary wired that he had nailed
the Stars and Stripes to the pole. i'm
mediately sent congratulations. / then
believed. as l do now, that his work over
q new route far east of M line Of travel
and Of course, that his position at the
pole would supplement my work with
valuable data. There is room enough and
honor enough for two American flags at
the pole"

justice. Whole venires were tainted, he
declared, by this method, even the grand
jury suffering. The states attorney is
said to have been watching the draw
ing of venires for some time, but his
sensational action of Saturday. when he
caused the making of three arrests, is
said to have been based on the confess
sion of a "squealer."
Those arrested were John j. Holland,
secretary and member of the jury COM
mission; Willis J. Rayburn, a real estate
dealer, and Nicholas ]. Martin, secretary
to Alderman ]. Hinkey Dink) Kenna.
All are under bonds.
At the conclusion of the judges meeting.
which was adjourned until pm, Mr..
Wayman said to reporters:
lone thing told the judges was about
the bomb jury, when ia union men were
called. l told them 1t was very strange
that If I were trying a union man lot
of union men were called for jury service,
and that if l were trying a crooked bank
er a lot of crooked bankers were called
into the box. There's something rotten
in Denmark"
Holland was suspended by the judges
from his official position pending the out

The fact that the District government

loss to the local government of the serv-

years past has held down the position in

Tropical Hurricane Sends Ships
Into Carolina Ports for Safety.
Falling Temperature.

BEAUFORT, N. c.. September 90
The steamer Carib Of the Clyde line,
which anchored off the point Of Cape
Hatteras last night with her machinery
disabled and after an unsuccessful at
tempt was made by the steamer Com
manche to tow her to port, rode out the
night safely. This morning the Mallory
line steamer Sabine, bound from New
York to Key West and Galveston. came
to the Carib's assistance, and Capt Nc
Intosh of the Sabine offered assistance to
the disabled vessel. Capt. Packer Of the
Carib accepted the offer for a tow, and
work was begun to get a tow line to the
disabled vessel. This was difficult be-
cause Of the heavy northeast wind, &C
companied by rain. which was blowing.
1t was not until shortly before noon
that a line was made fast. and the vessels
then awaited instructions from the Carib' 8
New York agents as to where to tow
the disabled ship. BY wireless the Carib
was directed to proceed to Southport, N.
c.. at the mouth of the Cape Fear river,
below Wilmington, where the Carib Is
bound. At noon the Sabine with her tow
started south. the weather getting worse
all the time. and it was feared the tow
ing hawser might break at any moment.
The United States revenue cutter Yama-
craw, which was in the vicinity Of Della
ware Breakwater last night, received
word by wireless telegraph from the
steamer Comanche of the Carib's mishap,
and Immediately started for Cape Hat
teras to render assistance, reported by
wireless telegraph this morning that she
was sixty miles north of Diamond shoals
and crowding on all the steam possible to
reach the ship and stand by in order to
help in case Of need.

pected to be felt here.

from the Caribbean sea over extreme

thence northwestward over the Gulf Of
