COOKS STORY suBsTANTIATED
Member of Peary's Party Knew of DR..
Cooks Claims Long Ago.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, by Wire
less via Cape Ray, N. F., Sept. 49,
One of the men on the steamer Roose-
welt, at least, knew long ago that DR..
Frederick A. Cook claimed to have
reached the pole He is William
Pritchard, cabin boy and assistant
cook on the Roosevelt, who remained
with Murphy at Annatuofk to guard
the stores. Pritchard had not spoken
to any one on board of Dr. Cook
achievement, but when confronted
yesterday, just prior to the sailing of
the Roosevelt from Battle Harbor, and
told that Cook had said Pritchard
knew the whole story of his dash for
the pole, the youth admitted that he
had learned from DR.. Cook the details
of the final march, and that DR.. Cook
had explained to him the route fol-
lowed.
Whether Boatswain Murphy also
was informed of DR.. Cooks success
Pritchard did not know, but unques-
tionably Harry Whitney, who was at
the store house when Dr. Cook re-
turned from his dash with the two Es-
kimos, is conversant with all the facts.
Whitney did not disclose the interest
ing piece of news to Commander
Peary, and Pritchard kept it from
Peary during the entire journey on
the Roosevelt to Battle Harbor. Prit-
chard said he was at the house at An
natook with Whitney while DR.. Cook
was at Annatook. He heard Cook de-
scribe to the New Haven sportsman
how he went to the North Pole, and
how he remained there two days. He
could not remember whether DR.. Cook
said he remained there April q and
%, or whether it was April % and %.
DR.. Cook used a map to illustrate the
route followed. Asked why he had
not repeated this on board the Roose.
welt Pritchard said that DR.. Cook had
told him to say nothing about his
having been at the pole until the
reached civilization.
Followed by the cheers and shouts
of half hundred Labrador fishermen,
and given a farewell cannon salute,

Beaumont, Texas. Sept. 19,-George
M. Craig, a prominent citizen of Port
Arthur, passed through the city to-
night and voiced a vigorous protest
against the absurd enforcement of
Sunday laws at Port Arthur. He said
that today one could not purchase
anything in Port Arthur except milk
and ice cream, not even soda water
being sold Mr.. Craig says the en-
forcement of the laws in this manner
is not demanded by any portion of the
people of Port Arthur, but that it is
the usual resort of certain class to
insist upon this rigid enforcement of
the Sunday laws until the people raise
such a protest that the other extreme
of allowing saloons and places of
amusement open on Sunday is the re-
suit. He says he has addressed a let
ter to the county judge on the sub
ject, and it is said that other steps
will be taken to get rid of this absurd
and undesirable application of the
strict letter of the law.
