land.

arrest here tonight of man and wo-
man having $9,790 in their possession
the police believe they have captured
the kidnappers Of Willie Whitla. In
fact, the woman in the case. who is
somewhat befuddled, admitted that

planned the whole thing. There will
be trouble for me and hell in Sharon
tomorrow"

bound in packages with the original
slips placed on the money when
Whitla took 1t from the bank still
around 1t.
Capt. Norman Shuttuck and Detec-
tive Frank Wood made the arrests in
the east end of the city. When near
the police station the man broke
away from Detective Wood and ran
toward an alley. The police official
fired two shots from his revolver into
the air and the man stopped The
woman made no attempt to escape.
The woman appears to be well edu-
Gated. She says she spent Is years
of her life in a convent in Pennsyl-
vania but denies that she has eve,
been in trouble before. Both the wo-
man and the man deny that they
knew the name Of each other. They
admit they are not man and wife,
According to the police they were in.
toxicated when placed in custody. But
as to their condition they were not
questioned closely by the police ani
were locked In separate cells. Both
will be tried in police court tomorrow

ALTOONA CLAIMS PEARY.
cresson, Given az Birthplace, Not
Inhabited In May, 1850.

ALTOONA, Pa. September S.-ANoona
Is interested in the success Of Commander
Peary, because he is almost a native son.
having been born in Chest Springs, Pa
twelve miles directly west of here, in
May, 1855.
Some encyclopedias give Cresson. Pa.
as his birthplace. This is improbable. fol
the reason that the place known as Cres-
son was uninhabited and without name
at the time of the explorers birth.
Peary's father and uncles came from
Maine TO Cambria and Blair counties In
the early fifties, and engaged In the ium
bering business, which they had followed
in Maine At first they split barrel slaves
and hoops from white oak and hickory
which then abounded in the mountains
They afterward followed a general lum
Der and sawmill trade, becoming pros
porous.
Their descendants are numerous In
northern Cambria county. but are gener'
ally known by the name OF Perry. While
James Perry was operating shook fac.

their estimates for the next fiscal year
an item for the purchase of lot adjoin-
ing the Brookland public school. the
Brookland Citizens Association has writ
ten the Commissioners that this addi-
tional ground is necessary to provide a
suitable playground for the children.
originally Brookland had an eight
room school building. which covered all
or nearly all Of two lots" the letter says.
THE school board was petitioned to pur-
chase an additional lot for playground
purposes. This was granted by Con-
gress.
subsequently an addition of four rooms
was built on this lot. making the Brook

Cook WithhoIds Details
in Lecture at Copenhagen

COPENHAGEN, September S-One Of
the most remarkable results Of Com
mander Peary's rivalry with DR.. Cook for
the discovery of the pole IL that DIR.
Cooks profits from the enterprise are
likely to be largely increased.
He has received offers for his books and
lectures at twice the figures previously
rendered. One American of the highest
standing cabled terms almost startling
and, 1t is believed, far beyond any sum
hitherto paid for such work. DR.. Cook
Is likely to accept this offer.
The controversy Is beginning to wage
warmer here. Commander Peary's state
ment is unanimously accepted as true.
but there il q large following faithful to
DR.. Cook.
Withholds Details for Book.
His lecture before the Geographical So
ciety last night however, added little to
the information he had already given out
with reference to his expedition. He re-
peated the declaration Of his intention to
withhold details until the publication of
his book.
The king and queen, Prince and Prin-
cess George of Greece and many Of the
members of the royal family, together
with a large gathering OF the most prom
inent people in Copenhagen. Yesterday
AFTERNOON witnessed the presentation to
Dr.. Cook of a gold medal by the crown
prince. and listened to the explorers lee
ture afterward.
Standing In front of an immense map
OF the arctic regions. which was sur
mounted by the Stars and Stripes, DR..
Cook outlined his progress to the north
pole.
Introducing the explorer, the crown
prince said that his reception in Green

POWER LAUNCH DAMAGED.
Ruby In Collision With the Steamer
Queen Anne.

The power launch Ruby. one of the
local feet of pleasure craft, owned by
Capt Edward Plaskett of this city. is
lying on the railway at the Corinthian
Yacht Club headquarters on the river
front with badly mashed bow, the re-
suit, IL Is stated. of the launch having
run into the steamer Queen Anne on the
river Off Alexandria Monday night. The
accident is said to have been the result
Of a misunderstanding of signals. When
the launch struck the steamer the larger
vessel was backing and she remained by
the launch until It was found that all
aboard were safe. The Ruby had aboard
twelve or fifteen people, Including sew
eral children, and when the collision
occurred the launch Vika, owned by
Messrs. England and White, went to the
aid of the disabled craft. and after taking
of those aboard her lowed her into shoaI
water to prevent her sinking. Can't.
Plaskett was somewhat injured by fiying
glass. but he was the only one hurt.
The disabled launch was brought tn

The newspaper correspondents here In

message from Commander Peary in which
the latter advises against taking DIR.
Cooks story too seriously" and declares
that DR.. Cooks Eskimos stated that he
did not go out Of sight Of land.
DR.. Cook expressed himself as indi6er-
ent to the doubt expressed by Peary and
| said that his reply to the denial Of his
story would not be forthcoming until &C
cusatfons were made upon scientific data.
Cook Heard Of Peary Report.
COPENHAGEN. September 8.-Several
Copenhagen newspapers today publish let
tiers from Greenland in which it Is stated
that DR.. Cook, while awaiting the COM
| ing of the steamer Hans Egede, was in
| an extreme state Of nervousness and
anxiety.
| He was DESTROYS of returning to civiliza-
ton as quickly as possible because he had
heard the report that Peary had reached
the pole and wanted his own announce
ment to be made first.
| DR.. Normann Hansen, who was with
| Cook for six weeks on board the Hans
| Ezede ,said today that the explorer 8
| nervousness disappeared when he came
| on board the steamer.
DIR. Hansen had many opportunities or
| hearing DR.. Cooks statements, which,
| throughout the voyage. were UNMARRIED.
DR.. Hansen saw DR.. Cooks diaries ana
his observations. He explained that he
was unable to judge anything from them.
as he Is absolutely ignorant of such
matters.
Greenland Not Skeptical,
Asked whether reports were current in
Greenland that. DR.. Cook had not reached
the pole. DR.. Hansen replied:
"No." He explained that 1t was easily
possible for the versions Of the trip given
by the Eskimos to vary and reach ctvili-
cation in a distorted state.
Regarding the various versions Of the
| story about DIR. Cook having used Com
mander Peary's Eskimos and supplies and
Commander Peary having made use Of
the stores and Eskimos held by DR.. Cook,
, DIR. Hansen could only say that DIR. Cook
had informed him that Peary had used
his Cooks provisions.
DR.. Cook told the Associated Press to-
| day that he would answer no charges on
| this subject until he knew their real
nature and whence they came. He would
then be prepared to give complete reply.

it did over this country. when word was

within a week from Peary, that they had

a wonderful achievement, and both men
are worthy Of the highest honors.
''The reason why DR.. Cook did not find
any traces of the Peary expedition on his

ut is quite evident that Peary discov-
cred no trace Of Cook In the continually
drifting ice. Peary probably. as he
planned, made his dash from a more east
ern point than DR.. Cook, but many cir
cumstances may have arisen to cause
change"
DO you think that Peary obtained more
valuable scientific results than Cook?"
Capt Amundsen was asked.
Probably not" he replied. They were
equally equipped with only absolutely
necessary instruments. Geographically
their achievements are of great impor-
lance 1t Is important also that the two
reports be compared.
TT would be superfiuous to discuss Com
mander Peary's route on his return trip
and also useless to make speculations az
to the points arrived at by the two ex-
plorers. 1t may be that they differed sew
eral geographical minutes.
1T is not important Ii the exact mathe-
NAUTICAL pole was reached or not. It Is
important that the geographical condi-
tions of the spot were observed.

done. What is left will be SUFFICIENT for
