GREELY QUITS THE
EXPLORERS CLUB
Cook-Peary Controversy Is At
Bottom of Controversy
GREELI Is FRIEND OF COOK
Trouble Dates Back to Peary's An
nouncement Of Discovery Of Pole
When Dinner Planned for Cook
Is Called Off.
GREELl Is FRIEND OF COOK

New York, December 11.-(Special.) 1.-The
Cook-Peary controversy has led to the
resignation of Gen. A. w. Greedy from
the Explorers club, of which he was
president before Commander Peary was
elected in that position. Peary is now
president.
General Greely's letter Of resignation
was a BRIEF formal document, In which
no reason for his action was given.
but 1t is a matter of general knowledge
among men interested in exploration that
General Greedy thinks the Explorers club
is dominated by Peary partisans.
When DR.. Cook first claimed to have
discovered the north pole the Explorers
club invited him to a dinner to be given
while the Hudson-Fulton celebration was
on Then Commander Peary came out
with his claim of discovery and his asser-
ton that Dl ook was an inposter, and
the Peary faction In the club succeeded
In having the proposed dinner called off.
General Greedy expressed his opinion at
the time in unmistakable terms. General
Greedy, himself an Arctic explorer of ex-
perience and reputation. has stood
staunchly by DR.. Cook in this contro-
versy. The announcement of the resigna-
ton was made today by Secretary Harry
c. Welsh. who said:
IT am not in position to say that
General Greely's resignation was due to
the Cook-Peary controversy. In view of
his friendship for DR.. Cook. however, and
the confidence he expressed in him, the
resignation may be so construed by many
persons. I can say that he did not men,

LEADING MEN AT BANQUET

and sixty-four distinguished men heard
three members of the cabinet of the
United States address the eleventh annual
dinner Of the Pennsylvania society of
New York at the Waldorf-Astoria to-
night.
OF the speakers the most emphatic note
was struck by Franklin MacVeagh, Sec
Rotary of the Treasury, who delivered
bitter arraignment of customs frauds,
particularly at the port of New York
George W. Wickersham, the Attorney
General, and Philander c. Knox, Secre-
tary of State, the other two prominent
speakers, also delivered addresses. The
former emphasized the need of federal
power. He said the increase in this d.
rection had been unjustly criticised.
Secretary Knox confined himself to
the increasing cooperation of nations.

Concerning customs house frauds In New
York, Secretary MacVeagh said:
you know what we are trying to do for
this city. We are trying to cut out
fostering corruption. You may say that
tho customs service at New York Is a
blot upon the federal government 1t is
also a blot upon New York city And
what the government Is doing, and at
tempting to do, is not only to clean up its
own premises, but 70 raise the standard Of
public service in iris city.
1.-The undertaking needs the Presi-
dent at the back of it, and it would be
impossible for any man In any position to
be more direct and normal in his outlook
upon a question of good government or
to be more resolved to back to the limit
any important and wise project Of I'M
provement than President Taft
I'm what the department of justice and
the treasury department are undertaking
to do at this port, and in less important
but still important things, We shall at
tempt to do in the other ports of the
country. We have President Taft be-
hind u.s.
Secretary Macveagh here praised Will
liam Loeb, Jr collector of the port, for
the work he has accomplished.
The dinner tonight was a brilliant af-
fair. Seated under the time-honored por-
trait Of William Penn, and the emblazon-
ed coat of arms of the state of Penn
