COMMANDER PEARYs DATES
ARE OBSCURE AND CONFUSING.
Paris Papers Show Disposition to Crit
icise the Explorers Story.

Parts. Sept 10.-The first installment
of Commander Peary's recital OF his
expedition TO the north pole was pub

today and had an enormous sale. As
notice vas given that the article was
copyrighted the other newspapers
handled It with care but in their COM

To criticise. This Is perhaps due to
the fact that Commander Pcary's re-
Elections upon DIR. Cook are considered
nIigt nerous The Temps is especially
causilc. and expresses the opinion that
the first part of Peary's recital Is real

that whereas his diary uD TO March

whatever suspicious was raised against
DR. Cook is equally applicable to him.

with little more than the clothes they
had on their backs. Mr.. Goddard was
the last to leave the house and he had
to swim through deep water to get to
the hill. The party was without food
or shelter for three days. The por-
tiOn of the Hill above water was not
more than one hundred feet square.

New York, Sept. 1O.-Wall streets
response today to the death of 4. FL.
Hartman was a buoyantly strong
stock market in which securities made
sensational gains and held them to the
vesy end. The volume of business was
enormous-wefl over 100000 shares,
and to this vast amount the better
known Hartman stocks, namely, I'm
ion Pacific. common and preferred.
and Southern Pacific, alone contribut-
ed over one third, while other prop
critics in which the late magnate was
more remotely interested, added prob
ably as much more to the sum total.
Hartman Stocks the Leaders.
: The day resulted in complete rout
of the short interest, which was prob
ably more extensive than even the
best-informed had imagined. Even
before the opening heretit was evi-
dent from the tone of Ari5erican -secur-
tiles in London that the strongest sup
port was forthcoming and initial prices
in New York dispeIled ali doubt with
advances n practically all issues,
though the Hartman stocks were the
leaders

fore the end of the first hour semi
official announcement was made that
the Kuhn, Loeb-City bank interest:

Rumors Neither Denied Nor Con-
firmed.
While the Hartman stocks were
soaring, Wall street was teeming with
runors, some of which hinted at con-
test for control of the Union Pacific
railroad. None took these rumors
very seriously, but considerably more
attention was paid to persistent ru-
fnors that J. p. Morgan & Co were
buying heavily OF Union Pacific shares
and that arrangements for taking
member of the Morgan firm into the
Union Pacific executive committee
were already completed. None of these
stories was either denied or confirm
ed in authoritative quarters.
Plans Of Construction and Develop
nnent to Continue.
No official statement was issued-by
the Hartman officials during the day
relative ito the future policy of those
properties. but banking interests in
touch with the situation were author
ity for the statements that Mr.. Harri-
mans plans of construction and de-
veiDpment would go steadily forward
Meetings of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific boards of directors
win probably be held next Monday and

than the expressions of regret at the
passing away of Mr.. Hartman will
then engage the attention of the di-
