Dr.. e. j. Foster. Adopted Son,
Satisfied She Is Dead.

Hartford. Conn. Sept 21.-Dr. E.
J. Foster of Vermont. an adopted son
of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
founder of the Christian Science
church. stated this afternoon at the
home of DR.. Robert c. Harmon, in
East Windsor Hill. that he was GER
tain that his foster mother. Mrs.
Eddy, was dead. and had been dead
for some time, though information of
her end had been purposely concealed
from the public by a coterie of
Christian Scientists in the mysterious
house" in Boston.
He, with Doctor Harmon, who in
cidentally would like to become Mrs.
Eddy's successor. and thus con-
summate a pact which he alleges
Mrs. Eddy made with him years ago,
which in substance was that he, as
the only qualified and logical sue
cessor, should take up her work
when she died, is positive that
clique in Boston has been perpetrat-
ing a gigantic fraud on the public in
general and Christian Scientists in
particular for some time past
Doctor Harmon further declares
that legal action will shortly be taken
against the alleged plotters. but this
same threat was published and never
fulfilled during the early summer,
when Brooklyn agitators were active
against Mrs Eddy.

The memorial building commissin n
has examined the plans of the state
architect for the new. 100000 building
and practically decided to adopt them
as drawn, suggesting only a few minor
changes left in the hands of a subcom-
mittee composed of Governor Stubs,
Commander Rickel of the G. A. r. and
Secretary Martin of the state historics
society.
The plans submitted by Architect
Chandler were highly praised by the
commission as embracing a finer build
ing than was expected possible from
the sum appropriated for that purpose.
There was some discussion at the
meeting of the commission as to wheth-
er the historical society or the G. A. R
should be given preference in the selec-
ton of the suites of rooms these de-
partments are to occupy in the new
building. However, it was the opinion

this kind. They are already paying
for improving parks all over the city

Then there is another complication

new YORK'S BUSY WEEK
Elaborate Preparations Made to
Celebrate Landing of DIR. Cook.

New York, Sept. 21.-This is Ger
tainly New Yorks busy week. With
the daily arrival of foreign and
American warships with DELEGATIONS
the excitement incident to the pre-
liminary rehearsal of what promises
to be two weeks of historic celebra-
ton, the North Pole controversy is
fighting hard for first place in pub
lie attention.
News stories which a few weeks
ago would have been worth columns
each, are now crowding in so rapidly,
with New York as the center of &C
tivity. that many are merely men
toned. DR.. Frederick A. Cook was
held all night at the gateway of the
port on the steamship Oscar II. SO
that the elaborate welcoming, pro
gram, previously arranged, might be
successfully carried out today.
Just as DR.. Cook could have been
landed in this city. so could Com
mander Robert E. Peary have
reached Sidney. N. s.. but for some
reason Commander Peary halted his
polar ship SIS miles out of Sidney,
and during the night slowly APP
preached that port so that he could
make his entry there today, at the

Wife First to Greet Explorer Cook.
For days it has been arranged that
Mrs. Cook and her two children
would go down the bay early this

the returning explorer. More than
one thousand tickets had been sold

AS soon as DR.. Cook has recovered

coming festivities. there can be little
doubt that he will be asked to submit
to some competent geographical BODY
his proofs that he discovered the North

make public his own data until DR..
Cook has furnished his.
Peary VIII Wage War Against Cook.
Following the receptions and other
ceremonies at Sidney and at Portland,
his intention of coming at once to this
city to wage the war against DR.. Cooks
claims. A caolegram from Copenhagen
states that the steamer Hans Egede on
which DR.. Cook returned from the
north, has lef. there for Greenland. She
will return II November, with knud
Rasmussen, who is to cross-examlne
Dr. Cooks Eskimos. who are said to
have accompanied him to the North
Pole.
Great interest attaches to the ar
rival here in a week or ten days of
Peary's ship, the Roosevelt. The cabin
boy aboard this vessel has suddenly
ieaped into prominence as most i'm
portant person through his statement
to the Associated Press that he heard
Dr. Cook tell Harry Whitney at Anna

North Pole. This statement by a mem
