Signed Statement Of Peary. Bartlett.
Mcmillan, Borup and Henson. In Re-
gard to Testimony Of Cooks Two
Eskimo Boys.
The two Eskimo boys. I-took-a-shoo
and Ah-pe-lah. who accompanied DR..
Cook while he was away from Anora.
tok in 1908 and 1909. were questioned
separately and independently. and
were corroborated by Panikpah. the
father of one of them 0-took-a-shoo).
who was personally familiar with the
FIRST third and the last third of their
journey. and who said that the route
for the remaining third. as shown by
them. was as described to him by his
son after his return with DR.. Cook.
To go more into details: One OF
the boys was called In. and. with a
chart on the table before him, was
asked to show where he had gone
with DR.. Cook This he did. pointing
out with his finger on the map, but
not making any marks upon 1t.
As he went out. the other boy came
in and was asked to show where he
had gone with DIR. Cook. This he did.
also without making any marks. and
indicated the same route and the
same details as did the first boy.
When he was through. Panikpah.

telligent man. VINO was in the party
OF Eskimos that came back from Dr.
Cook from the northern end Of Nan
sens strait, who is familiar as a hunt
er with the Jones Sound region. and
who has been in Commander Peary's
various expeditions for some fifteen
years, came in and indicated the same
localities and details as the two boys.
Then the first boy was brought in
again, and with. a pencil he traced on
the map their route. members of our
party writing upon the chart where
according to the boys. statement. they
had killed deer. bear. some of their
dogs, seal, walrus and musk oxen.

INTRODUCTION BY PEARY.

Some of my reasons for saying that
Dr. Cook did not go to the north pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimos
who started with DIR. Cook from An
oratok in February. 1908. were at
Etah when / arrived there In August,
1908. They told me that DIR. Cook had
with him. after they left, two Eskimo
boys. or young men. two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
Itook-a-shoo and Ah-pelah. had
known them from their childhood.
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years OF age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement
touched (Nerke. near Cape Chalon) in
August, 1909. and nine days before
reaching Etah. the Eskimos told me.
In a general way. where DIR. Cook had
been; that he had wintered in Jones
Sound. and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been n long
way north. but that the boys who were
with him. I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pelah.
said that this was not SO. The Eski-
mos laughed at DR.. Cooks story. On
reaching Etah. ! talked with the Es-
KINDS there and with the two boys
and asked them to describe DIR. Cooks
Journey to members of my party and
myself. This they did In the manner
stated below.

they were much clustered, and could
do nothing but stammer their thanks.
Finally one of them rounded to and
said: why. Mr.. Casey, this Is most
generous OF you. 1t will allow US to
get What we want very much--a fine

Casey thought that would be the
right thing to do.
And, Mr.. Casey" said the spokes-

donation, isn't there something you

a congregation which completely filled
the place participated in the event.
Father John f. Nugent is the pastor.
Father Peter C. Yorke, who delivered
the sermon, pointed out that thrice had
the church been burned down.
'rhe outsider he said, often won
ders how we are able to build these
churches and to maintain them. He
often gives us credit for superhuman
shrewdness and business ability; but
if he looks deeper he soon learns that
where one or two Of the churches may
have been built by individual muni-
ficience the vast majority were found
ed in poverty and rose on the generous
self-sacrifice of priest and people.
RIGHTS AND DUTIES TAUGHT
'-Heswill find in them no distinction
of rich and poor, of color or race and
from the pulpit he will hear the rich
reminded that if wealth has its rights
it also has its duties, and he will hear
the poor taught that if labor has it's
duties ii also has its rights.
AT the communion rail he will dis
cover no distinction of race or station.
There the dividing walls of nationality
are broken down. All are equal be-

MONEY CONDITIONS PUT
DAMPER on SPECULATION
Year End Requirements Influ-
ence Dealings in Wall Street

NEW YORK. Dec. 1s-The stock
market last week reflected the shifting
influences Of conflicting factors in the
speculation. The year end require
ments on the money market exercised
some cOnstraint on the activity
Sentiment was responsive TO favor
able prospects, but actual benefits ac-
crUed brought a reactionary tendency,
due to profit taking sales. and re-
vealed the extent to which the specu-
Ia tion has already progressed in the
disc0unting Of events calculated to
increase values.
The effect Of the increase in divi-
dend rate on Reading was a case in
point On the other hand. the asso-
citation Of support against the effects
or any unfavorabie influence was
taken to prove that the control Of the
market was still entrenched in TIE
hands Of coteries Of powerful capital
lists that have been credited with the
direction OF the speculation for many
months.
II was with the probable future
plalas Of this element that speculative
surmIse concerned itself as between
"a determination to push the price
advance further in the coming year
or an effort TO distribute heavy hold
ings on the first favorable opportunity
anorded by an awakened demand for
stocks.
There is much discussion Of the
bending supreme court decision in the
American tobacco company and the
standard oil cases, and il is feared
fnaf the uncertainty surrounding the
esnected decisions may harm stock
speculation. and possibly regular
business activities.
