CLAIMS THAT DIR. COOK DID NOT
REACH SUMMIT OF MOUNT
M'kINLEY.
DECEIVED PUBLIC WITH PHOTO
Cooks Only Companion Declares Ha
Never Got Nearer Than IA Miles
to Top Of Mountain-Made
No Effort to Scale Peak.

New York City.-The Globe prints
an affidavit made by Edwin N.
Barrille, the guide who accompanied
DIR. Frederick A. Cook on the trip
when the explorer says he reached
the top of Mount Mckinley. Barrille's
picture appears in DR.. Cooks book,
ITO the Top of the Continent" waving
a United States flag on peak which
DR.. Cook asserts is the highest bit of
land on tie North American continent.
Barrille's affidavit says that he and
Cook were never within fourteen miles
of the summit of Mount Mckinley and
that they made no serious attempts to
climb that lofty peak.
Mckinley 20 Miles Away. y
Barrille's affidavit was made before
notary public in Tacoma, Wash, Oct.
4, and has just reached New York. He
swears that the highest point they
reached was 10000 feet, while Mount
Mckinley is 20,39O feet high: that
when he was pictured holding up the
flag In the pose used in DR.. Cooks
book that the summit of Mount Nc.
kinley was plainly visible 20 miles
away. He swears that DR., Cook told
MIN at the time that the picture was
TO be falsely used as the summit of
Msklnley. He says that other photo
graphs and drawings in Cooks books
are likewise not what they purport to
be.
The affidavit Is accompanied by q
dairy in Barrille's own writing. He
swears that portions Of this dairy,
which are false, were dictated by DR.
Cook, and that dates were changed
as Cook directed. He thus admits that
he willingly took part in the deception
that he accuses his employer of per
petrating.
1t does not appear whether the
publication of the affidavit is a piece
or news enterprise on the part of the
Globe or is a part of the effort OF
Commander Peary's friends to dis
credit Cook.

THE CHIEF WANTS EMERGENCY
WARD FOR TREATMENT OF
LEMON EXTRACT DRINKERS.
SAVED THIRD BY NIGHT VIGIL
Have Died From Effects-Police
Do Not Want Victims to Die
In Their Charge In Jail.

lola, Kas.-To All Officers: You
are instructed to observe the condi-
ton of Bill Jones, arrested at 5 o'clock
this afternoon at the passenger sta
ton of the Missouri Pacific railway
for being drunk. Jones has been
placed in Jail and has evidently been
drinking concoction of bay rum,
lemon extract and ginger. Should the
prisoner show any symptoms of seri-
Gus illness, summon physician at
once and have the prisoner sent home
for treatment until recovery-John
j. Greed, Chief of Police.
This is the substance of an order,
left at the police station by Chief Of
Police John j. Creed. It's strict OBJ
servance by Thomas l. Christy. assist
ant chief of police, commanding the
night patrol, together with the watch
full care of DR.. E. C. Reynolds, county
health officer, avoided a third fatality
among unfortunate men placed in the
city section of the county Jail.
Hlccoughed Story of Drinking.
Jones was stumbling about a wait
ing room at the Missouri Pacific pas
senger station when John J. Creed
came along. Jones was clearly vio-
lating the city ordinance-he was
drunk-in public place within the
corporate confines of the munich
pality.
Chief Creek placed Jones under ar.
rest and led him to Jail.
Jones' stride was a cross between
the lockstep and a polka as he wob-
bled along with the chief toward the
Jail. But on the way, he hiccoughed
a story which made the officer lis.
| ten.
Been drinkin' bay rum-hic-an
| gingerale-an' lii lemon 'stract,'
Jones barked the best he could. When
the Jail was reached Jones was sc
badly indisposed that Chief Greed
summoned a doctor and left the or
der to the officers which probably
saved Jones' life.

the Legislation League at No 20S West 5sth street
Yesterday afternoon on the suffragette movement
and said among other things mat at every sur

risked their lives, while some had in fact dleo

Mrs. Margaret Holmes Bates protested that me
cost was out of proportion 10 the gain.
Il wouldn't risk my life or sacrifice my SELF
reensct " she said for the sake of giving the
ballot to every man. and child in the
world
That answered Mrs. Wells, illustrates the
difference between a sufragist and a suf1ragette-
The suffragette thinks nothing too great 10 90
for the cause. The women who don't want 10 sac
rifce their self-respect say: Let other women go
further and sink lower
AT this point the case for the nservatve sur

took the ground that both movements were nee
essary.
The suffragettes" she said, go out in the open
where every hod carrier can hear them' you
couldn't get a hod carrier into hall
Mrs Bent further gave the sunraget'es cTeot
for the present widespread interest n the SUI
