three years since before that there was
very little rifle target practice done by

PEARYs FEAT pLEAsEs COOK.
Later Discovery Of the North Pole Will
Confirm His Own Success.


Copenhagen, Sept. 7-Copenhagen
was electrified by the report of Com
nander Pearys announcement that he
had reached the north pole. DIR. Cook
was Immensely interested, and said:
That is good news. l hope Peary did
get to the pole. His observations and
reports on that region win confirm
mine.'
Asked if there was any probability of
Peary's having found the tube contain
ing his records, Dr. Cook replied:
Il hope SO, but that is doubtful. on
account of the drift"
DR.. Cook added:
Commander Peary would have
reached the pole this, year, probably
while was there. Last year his route
was several hundred miles east of
mine. We were rivals of course, but
the pole is good enough for two.
That two men got to the pole along
different paths" continued the explor-
er, Should furnish large additions to
scientific knowledge. Probably other
parties will reach 1t in the next ten
years, since every explorer is helped by
the experience of his predecessors, just
as Sverdrup's observations and reports
were Of immeasurable help to me. I
can say nothing more without knowing
further details than that ] am glad OF
it,
While DR.. Cook was conversing cas-
ually with American friends the pos
sibility of the denouement which
electrified the world was laughtingly
suggested. DR.. Cook remarked:
1T Is possible that Peary will turn up
now. He is about due to get back; if
he succeeded his feat will confirm
mine"
It is doubtful II history furnishes
more dramatic episode than the break

STATEMENT OF PHYSICIAN
Talk Of Operation Revived-Harriman'
illness Again unsettles Stock Market
and Pacifies Decline Several Points
Slight Rally Occurs on Reports from
Sick Room.

Arden, N. Y, Sept. ALI alarming
rumors regarding Harriman's condition
have been revived following his re-
lapse of Sunday night. From the best
information obtainable today, however,
it is believed the attack was a tenn
porary sickness caused by the sudden
change in temperature or indiscretion
in diet, which the sick man in his
weakened condition was unable to
throw off. Dr. Lyle, Harriman's pri-
vate physician, calls the attack acute
Indigestion" and says the patient Is
better.
While Harrimans last attack in it,
self may not be serious, there is al
ways the danger of grave consequences
IN the case of a man weak as Harri-
man. On account of the patients long
illness and his extreme weakness there
are fears that his life may be in dan
ger thru mere exhaustion or heart fail
ure Talk of am operation has been
revived, but there is nothing definite
to support such rumor.
Odell is Summoned.
Ex-Governor Odell came from his
home in Newburg today and was taken
up to the Hartman house. Odell told
a passenger on the train that Harri-
man was very sick man." 1t is
believed that Odell was summoned to
Arden Last night. 1T is believed the
party now at the Hartman house in
cludes Ex-Governor Odell, Robert b..
Gerry, Harrimans SON n-law; DR..
Lyle, and two other physicians, all the
members of his immediate family and
several nurses.
