PRESIDENT GANNFTT
 CALLS COOK A FAKIR.
 FEIGNING INSANITY

Washington, Nov. 3O-'I honestly believe that Dr. Cook is a public fakir and is trying through his con- fession. to rehabilitate himself in the good graces of the American people," said President Gannett, of the Ma tional Geographic society, today. Further, l do not believe that Cook was insane.
 1 am sorry. but I think he will suc- ceed, in measure, in regaining the confidence of the American people, because those who first welcome him with open arms will now accept his excuse that he was insane at the time end made his claim in good faith.
 'Was he insane when he climbed Mt. Mckinley? If he was insane then, will almost concede that th- frigid zone might have caused his mental unbalancing during his polar expedition
 Gannett does not believe that Dc Cook can regain the respect of thu, scientific men of this country. He said that he intended to see Captain Peary at once. as he thinks Dr. Cooks insinuation that it was an im- possibility for any one to discover the North Pole casts an unjust slight" upon Peary's claim. Gannett said he would help obliterate. from Peary's records, any blot which Cook might try to place on them.

PEARY WITH NO COMMENT
 WILL LEAVE DECISION TO
 THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,

Washington,Nov. 30.-Captain Rob- ert E. Peary is willing to leave the decision to the judgment of the American people. as suggested by Dr. Frederick 4. Cook, in his confession, regarding the worldwide North Pole controversy. Without open exultation. and without any intimation of pity for his fallen opponent in the contest for the glory of discovering the Pole, Peary. today. read pr. Cooks appeal for sympathy.

He showed absolutely no fac fal sign of qualification, but now and then cleared his throat with a sound that suggested great satisfaction.

His sole desire is to make the people of the United States realize just what he went through during his two and one half years in the Arctic fastnesses, ana 10 make them see what press of that led him to do the thing that con- flrmed the worst suspicious in the minds of his fellowmen. His state ment has been written since August and he has revised it since so that every point is clear and distinct Dr. Cook prepared. in London, an auto graph statement. certifying to the gen. uineness of the article. In this state ment, Dr. Cook says:f

 Dr. Cook will return to the United States with his wife and children, De- cember 2. in order to spend Christ mas among his relatives.
 The men, who have been associated with him during the preparation of his story. say that Cook is looking bet since he arrived in London a little over year ago. He has had an op- portunity to rest and think, and. in stead of his flight having harassed him into ill health. it seems to have had just the opposite effect

 New York. Nov. 30--Dr. Frederick A. Cook has confessed. This announce ment was made today by Benjamin Hampton. editor of the magazine that paid $50.0C0 for Commander Peary's story of his trip to the North Pole.
 In his own story. the first install ment of which will appear in the Jan- uary number of the magazine. Dr. Cook frankly admits that he does not know whether he reached the North Pole or not
 In the opening article. dealing par ticularly with the psychology of his adventure. the man who has been al- ternately lauded as the greatest ex- plo-er and denounced as the most colossal fakir of the age. declares:
 Did get to the North Pole? Per haps I made a mistake in thinking I did Perhaps I did not make a mis- take. After mature thought I confess that do not know absolutely whether I reached the Pole or not. This may come as an amazing statement. but am willing to startle the world, if. by so doing. I can get an opportunity to not my case as geograph cal discov- erer, but my case as a man. Much as the attainment of the North Pole once meant to me. the sympathy and confidence of my fellowmen mean more. t
 Fully. freely and frankly. I shall tell everything-and- leave the decision with you. If. after reading my story you say, Cook is sincere and honest;

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 30.-Judge Bond, today, ruled that the prosecc- tion, in the murder trial of Hattie Le Blanc, shall not introduce in evil dence any of Clarence Glover's words before he was dying, to the effect that he was shot by Hattie Le Blanc, or that he was dying. The court held that the witnesses could not tell &C., curateIy what Glover said on account of the excitement and confusion coin cident with the shooting.
 Hattie Le Blanc came into court this morning amidst a general cran- ing of necks of the spectators and took her seat between her usual at tendants, Court Officer Rhoades and Prison Matron, Mrs. Wharnock. She wore the same blue frock and -he deathly pallor that spread over her face. yesterday. was slightly relieved by a suggestion of color.

SESSIONS OF SENATORS AIMED AT
 INFLUENCE OF LOBBY
Progessives Believe That Previous Isolation of Senators Has Made Them Easy vict ms of Legislative Agents Dinner at Strdtfed Brings Discussion of Question Of Mnoiy
 Representation Next Linner In Kew Haven

As result of their meeting at the Stratfield in this city, yesterday, the Republican members of the Senate are very much nearer a place where they can go into caucus and merely vote"
 They are coming perceptib1y closer to the point where a general under standing is being arrived at without pledges and by the agency of infor- nal talks.
 It is beginning to be understood in high Republican circles that the "so- cial sessions are the device of pro- pie way hope to destroy the influence of the lobby, which has, as States Attorney Judson has said, controlled the Senate through two decades.
 To the influence of the lobby the social sessions" oppose the natural tendency to work together that is ex- pected to arise among the Senators as they meet over good dinners to talk politics.
 Said one Senator, That the Sena- tors hitherto have not met each oth- er personally until they reached the Republican caucus has been one of the. fruitful conditions upon which the lobbyist has seized to his own advan- ta~e. becoming sometimes, or ire quently, the only means of communf- cation between one Senator and an- other.
 "But the social sessions, even if the lobby remains powerful, tend to vest the control of the Republican end of the Senate in the Republican Sena- tors.

 lures the overpowering ambition for exploration that beset him until final ly 1t eliminated in his effort to reach the Pole. He declares that. at the time he convinced himself that he had discovered the Pole, he was half mad. He spent two and one-half years in his quest and during that period en- dured hunger and privation that, he says. would unbalance any mind
 Cook declares that it would be inn possible for any man to demonstrate that he had been to the North Pole. He characterizes the far north as a region of in2Inity where one cannot believe the evidences gathered by ones own eyes" He says that he had al ways loo T upon the discovery of the personal satisfaction-for the satisfac- ton of craving and desire that was greater than any other factor in his life. When he found how tremendous a sensation his statement that he had attained the Pole created. he was over come with bewilderment
 His study of his own psychology is described. by those who have read his narrative. as "a wonderful piece of descriptive writing.''
 One of the most remarkable facts brousht out by his story is that. in all the time he has been away, with the shrewdest newspaper men in the world on his trail. with newspapers offering sums that ranged into thou sands for the slightest definite news of his whereabouts. he has never worn a disguise and has never taken any unusual pi ecaution to conceal his identity. Part of the time his wife has been with him and part of the time his children. too. The children are now in retreat in France and Most of the time during his exile he has been in London. He has gone about among Americans. there with the utmost freedom. and, at times. has gone about under his own name. Only a few have guessed his identity al- though there probably never has been a man whose photographs have been so widely and often printed. Even those who did guess the identity of the exile were turned away. with ease. by the remark that the doctor used every time anyone would say he look ed like Dr. Cook:
 why, yes, have been told that be- fore"
 With the opportunity for thought that his exile has given hin-he says he never even had time to sleep more than three or four hours a night, be- tween his arrival in Copenhagen and his disappearance from New York-he has found. growing stronger and stronger. the desire to return to his own country. understood by his coun- trymen. He realized better than any one else the esteem in which he was held.

CRITICISE COL.
 TAYLOR FOR HIS
 NEGLECT OF CITY
Ignored Rights of Citizens In Making His Contract with the Dredging Com pany.

Lieut.. Col. Harry Taylor who let the contract for the dredging of the To- cal harbor admits that he is respon- sible for the awkward predicament in which Capt John Smith of the Coast wise Dredging Go. and the city find themselves relative to the dredging beneath the Stratford avenue bridge. In a letter he gave for publication There is nothing n my contract with the Coastwise Dredging co. which in accordance with my understanding of the contract would permit me to re- ruire the dredging to be done between F o'clock midnight and p. m. with out paying extra payments for these special hours of work"
 A prominent business man said this morning, Why in the name of good business and common sense did not Col Taylor write a contract that would permit him to require the dredging of the harbor at a time that a would not inconvenience over 50,000 people? Is Lieut.. Col. Taylor so i'll informed about the condit ons in the City of Bridgeport that he does not
 know that the bridge in question connects the road between New York and Boston, that it is used daily by all of the working people. who reside in Stratford. Milford, and about half of those who live in East Bridgeport, that is used by thousands of teams, automobiles and trolley cars every day?
 He must think that Bridgeport. is a jay town and can close up it's main streets at any minute. Bridgeport is a part of the same country that Col. Taylor works for. I should not think that he would like to admit that he was a party to a contract that failed to look after the interests of the peo- pie. Director Kenny is justified in not permitting the dredging to be done in the daytime. If the dredging is going to be done at night at extra cost the Government should pay for if even though Col. Taylor left it out
