COOK COMING
HOME A WRECK
Wife Says He's Broken in Health
and without Funds-Will
Arrive To-day.

Belingham. Wash. March o3.-Dr, Will
liam II. Axtell, a personal friend Of Fred
erick a. Cook, to-day received Il letter
from Mrs. Cook dated Vnlpar raise, Chile,
in which she says the explorer Is broken
in health, without funds and unable to
continue his night to establish his claim
that II. discovered the Pole. DR., Axtsil
said to-day.
Mrs, Cook tells ine in her letter that
Cook made considerable money out at
his trip when he first arrived in New
York but that he spent II In defending
himself against bitter attacks from his
enemies before the Copenhagen decision
was made public.
Cook left New York later to escape
contunely. says Mrs Cook and to q no.
fore the board OF inquiry at Copenhagen
as his own representative. Then Mrs.
cook followed him, met him In England,
found him nervous wreck and very III.
"She writes that It was her fault that
Cook did not appear publicly at tho time
he was unfavorably reported on, 6h0
says she took him to Holiand France.
Italy and then to Spain. whore they en-
barl1ed for Buenos Ayrss.
From Bucnos Ayres they went around
Cape Horn to Chile Cook is still very
I'll and will be In no condition To take up
his fight for the honors which no still
says should have been his"
DR.. Axtell added that, according to tho
letter, the explorer and his family will
arrive quietly in New York tomorrow
and will settle down for quiet life.
Mrs. Cook says he continued" that
her husband has no funds with which to
go 10 the Arctic regions nfter the proofs
required by the University Of Coperhag-
en- and that II he had tho necessary cash
he knows OF no one he could trust to do
the work for him"
BROTHER DOUBTS THE STORY.
New York. March 23.-william L. Cook.
a Brooklyn milk dealer and brother Of
DR.. Frederick A, Cook, said tonight that
If the doctor was to arrive In New York
Tomorrow he was not aware Of 1t. He
added that he had heard from the ex-
porer recently. from what point he de-
clined to say, and expected another letter
soon. Therefore he did not place much
faith in the report that his brother was
so near New York.
DIR. Axtell Of Bellingham might be a
friend Of his BROTHER he said. but per-
sonally he knew nothing Of such an
acquaintanceship.
OSBORN RELIEVES AXTELL
Capt b. s. Osborn. secretary Of the
Arctic Club Of America and ono Of
Cooks staunchest supporters during
the polar controversy. said tonight
that DR.. Axtell is one Of DR.. Cooks
closest friends and that the letter re-
ceived by Axtell was undoubtedly re-
liable. Thus Captain Osborn believes
that Cook will he in New York to-
| morrow.
Captain Osbon was unable. however.
to give any definite informa ton as
to which boat he expected the doc
| tor to arrive on.
