Says He Sees No More Reas
on For Doubling DR..
Cook Than Commander
Peray.
THE BABY ACT OF
COMMANDER PEARY
Left Cook Records in Cave
Guarded By
Eskimo.

st. Johns, y. F., September 29.-
Harry Whitney OF New Haven be-
liey4s that DIR. Frederick A Cook
found the pole and that Commat der
Peary did the same. In expre.s 'ag
this belief Mr.. Whitney said that
he knew no reason for doubling
Cook more than Peary.
DIR. Cooks story he added,
seems to me truthful and probable.
Nothing else would explain his
twelve months absence"
Speak ng OF DR.. Cooks detailed
account of hic zip to the pole, Mr..
Whitney said that the explorer show
ed him how the western drift of the
Ice had landed him in a reg on far
remote from where he expected TO
go. and he was unable to get back.
He could not speak with author ty
as to whether DR.. Cook and his two
Eskimos could carry on their three
sleds enough food for their journey
10 the pole, as he h mself is a no.
vice in Arctic travelling.
Mr.. Whitney denied that Peary
had removed DR.. Cooks stores from
Annatok to Etah. What Peary did
was to transfer few things and
rebuild the house at Annatok. Boat
swa Murphys only reason for re-
fusing to help Captain Berniere's
Canadian expedition to get dogs and
sledges at Etah was that they were
short of dog5 themselves. Mr.. Whit
ney had trouble in getting dogs for
team all through the winter and
Murphy was looking out for Peary
so that he would have sufficient dogs
for the commanders exploring trips
around the country when he return
ed from the north.
The day the Roosevelt was leay-
ing Etah for home Whitney inform
ed Peary that Cook had entrusted to
him certain belongings to bring home
. OT the vessel that was coming up
for Whitney, but as his ship had
what to do with this property.
Peary declined to permit Cook S
belongings TO be brought aboard the
Roosevelt, and he put whitney on
his honor not to include anything
belonging 10 DR.. Cook i'm his own
luggage. Whitney thereupon went
ashore from the Roosevelt. seperat-
ed CooN's property from his own
luggage, and with the aid of Cap
tain Bartlett commander OF the
Roosevelt. whom he had asked to
help h m. repacked Cooks property
In boxes After this had been done
Whitney and Bartlett caiched all
Cooks property in a cave in the
rocks. They built up the cave Sc
curely with stones and turf and lefs
It, and the property n charge of one
Of Dr.. Cooks Eskimos

nues, sold its business to the Mort hero
Express Company for five million dol

800, 600 per annum for fifty years.
This sworn statement shows that
from its organization to date of the re-
port the entire cash investment of the
new company aggregated $3.50 40S and
that this was represented by property
worth as much, old property having

company reports it has acquired from
It's earnings $40, 600 in stocks and
$3.50, 600 in bonds of other companies
on which last year it drew dividends of
about ten thousand dollars.
From the total net revenue Of $50,

paid its six ckholders 800. 900, be
Ing s per cent dividends; paid itself AS
the Northern Pacific Express Com
pany 100000 annual payment on the
purchase contract, and holds the bal
ance for investment. Incidentally the
company paid about one and One-half

citic Railway and affiliated lines, for
The exclusive privilege and for trans
portation. Half the gross revenues 90
10 the railroads, half of the remainder
is the cost of doing business, including
all saleries and expenses, and the rest
% per cent on each dollar taken in, is
the company's profits, according to It's
own sworn statement.
