REFUSES TO CALL OFF HENSON.
William A. Brady Says Negro Will Lecture
Despite Commander Peary's Protest

The merits of the dispute being waged be-
tween Commander Robert f. Peary and Matt
Henson, the negro who went on the North Pole
expedition. the question of the appropriateness
of the negro starting his lecture tour a week be-
fore Mr.. Peary is scheduled to begin his lectures,
rehearsed last night by William A. Brady. the
theatrical manager. Mr.. Brady has engaged Hen
give lecture at the Hippodrome tomorrow
night. When asked to whether he had received
any protests the matter from Commander Peary.
Mr. Brady refused state.
II don't TO discuss Mr.. Peary's feelings in
the matter at all" said Mr.. Brady. What he says
does not concern He is evidently labOrng
under the impression that the days of slavery are
yet over. and that because Henson is a negro
who worked for him he has not the right of free
speech. Mr.. Henson. however is free American
citizen and l don't how Mr. Peary or any one
else prevent his giving lecture the North
Pole if he wants to. AS far the photographs
are concerned. Mr.. HensOn's lecture will be illus
trated by genuine pictures.
Some of the pictures in which Henson appears
we admit taken by Mr.. Peary. but there
is copyright law at the North Pole l don't see
how can be restrained from using them. At
any rate. matter what protests come in. the
lecture will take place at the HippOdrome Sun
day evening and. judging from the advance sales.
il is going to be big success "

Hartford, Ark. Oct. Thames A. Boen a coal
operator well known in the Southwest and who
says he has hunted with the men who made the
Mount Mckinley trip with DR.. Frederick A. Cook

Mount Mckinley trip that had been related to him
by DR.. Cooks guides. BarrilI and Fred Prince

recollection IS that these letters told the attempt
to scale Mount Mckinley in 1904. which failed two
thousand feet from the summit. The letters de-

Barril claimed to have reached the summit few
feet ahead Of CSOk.
Fred Prince attached to the federal survey
party that surveyed the line between Montana and

DANES BEGIN TO DOUBT.
Cooks Reply to BarriH Regarded
V0gue-POIar Claim Upheld.

Copenhagen Oct. 15.-The affidavit OF Edward

reached the summit of Mount Mckinley, and
what is considered here a vague reply 10 the
affidavit by DR. Cook believed to have weak
ened somewhat the American explorers statement
that he ascended the mountain 20 its apex. Pub
lie opinion. however still favors his claim that
he reached the North Pole The newspapers are
reticent on the subject. but the authorities and
the explorers continue to trust in DR. Cook
Professor TOrp, rector of the University OF
Copenhagen, in an interview to-day said:
Il catxot give the particulars regarding the
Mount Mckinley story. but it is clear that DR.
Cook is being pursued BY enemies. There is no
reason for me 10 change my mind because the
stories are printed. II is impossible to check
them Nevertheless. we cannot understand why
Dr. Cook cannot send us the observations he made
al the North Pole before two months"
Captain otto Sverdruk the Arctic explorer, also
thought that the denial Of Dr. Cooks conquest Of
Mount Mckinley was due to his enemies. The
5nnaffence over DR. Cooks submission Of his polar
records CaDtafn SVerdrup said, was unreasonable,

Herbert L. Bridgman secretary of the CLUB
said he had not met the guide but from a tee-
