And starve behind their bars,

DIR. Cook HurIs Defiance at His
DetractOrs.
Makes Ugly Charges Against
Commander Peary.
STANDS BY HIS GUNS.
Says That He Reached Farthest
Northern Point.
Also Alleges That Peary Used
Same Proofs.
STANDS BY HIS GUNS

DR.. Frederick A. Cook, in the course
of his lecture Monday night before an
enthusiastic and apparently sympa-
thetic audience of 800 told of his dash
to the far north and wound up by ac-
eusing Peary and his friends of "brib-
cry, conspiracy, and black hand work .
1t was a graphic description he gave
of life in the Arctic regions and the
hardships endured which included the
near entrance into the Jaws of death
through hunger and privation, and the
story was augmented by stereopticOn
views shown on the screen which were
of an intensely interesting nature.
DR. Cook says he reached the North
Pole. But as for point of accuracy,
he stated. no man can stick a pin In
the pole. Anywhere within radius of
twenty five or thirty miles the obser-
Vations are the same. The earth does
not come to an abrupt point but is as
level at the North Pole as it is else
where. The only thing a man can do
is to reach the most northern point
and if his observations show he can go
no further north science demonstrates
to him that he has reached the pole
went far enough so that my observa-
tions for days showed me there was
no north"
DR.. Cook said he would present his
case to his audience and leave it to
them to decide whether or not he
reached the pole
Il will abide your Judgment he said
but before you enter the jury room
want to fully present my case, and
want you to go with me behind the
scenes of the mill of infamy which has
been grinding under the rival forces to
defame me. want you to see the hu-
man side of this inhuman battle.
In May, 1907, made a compact with
John R. Bradley to launch an Arctic
expedition. Together we quietly work
ed out the intricate problem of a polar
expedition Mr. Bradley hoped to Sc
cure big game in the Arctic wilds; my
aim was the pole.
'.On July 3, 1907, at Gloucester, Mass,
while the boys at home were testing
their fireworks, we embarked on a spe-
ciaIly fitted vessel. That Arctic ex-
pedition was launched without seeking
government or private funds
I'VE entered the Arctic seas through
Davis Strait, between Greenland and
the American shores, crossing the
Arctic circle Quickly we pushed
through icy seas, where the polar bear,
the walrus and the seal fell as prizes
TO Mr.. Bradley's ambition.
THE ship was pushed to the limits
of safe navigation to the anchor at
Etah At this point we were 700 miles
from the pole. Mr.. Bradley's ambition
was satisfied: mine was to begin.
From the ship I picked one COM
panion Rudolph FRANKIE. He was to be
my directing helper and he proved to
be a prince among men, Soon a little
house was built of packing boxes, and
In it we retired to work and study.
The willing hands of a tribe of $50 peo-
pie we're set to the task of making
sledges and equipment.
The Dash for the Pole.

earthly glory sank Four months of
unbroken night followed The world
about was dead, the soul slept. but the

The ship stayed there two days
and Peary changed heart He had in
his possession $4,000 worth of furs
and ivory. He had under his direction
my house and supplies, worth $4,000.
Then Peary called FRANKIE aboard and
gave him two big drinks of whisky.
and some food. In the private cabin
Peary made this proposition: If you
stay here you will die; you can go
home on this ship, and to do so you
must turn over everything that be-
longs to yourself and DR.. Cook The
man was sick and his life was at stake.
The Peary Charges.
"By taking my food supplies it was
supposed he would put me out of the
Way'-murder me- Here is the begin
ming of the conspiracy which has
spread over the world. For long
time Peary had been standing at the
head of long line of easy money. His
game had been spoiled by my success.
The pole might have been reached
years before but the delay was for
profit. He was using the public funds,
drawing a salary from the American
navy and was engaged in private bust
ness for which he had drawn for his
pockets hundreds of thousands of dol
lars from various sources including the
school children"
DR.. Cook claimed that the National
Geographical society was neither ma
t1Ona1 nor geographical, but was in
reality an organization of men who
were friends of Peary and were en-
gagged in the fur business with him.
He told how his records were hastily
passed upon and dishonest verdict
given, and year later how in con-
gress the same jury admitted that in
the Peary proofs there was absolute
proof. DR.. Cook insinuated that Peary
had copied his own proofs.
DR.. Cook spoke of the effort of
Peary and his friends to discredft him
by bribing Barrill, the man who
climbed Mount Mckinley with him. to
swear that the mountain was not
climbed to the top.
There is a clear case of bribery and
blackhand right up to Peary." said the
speaker. IF this man is not guilty of
the neanest trick in history, let him
Mckinley bribery. If what have said
is not true then the prison doors are
open to me-
The speaker said he could produce
the names of the friends of Peary who
offered the bribe on several different
occasions. The final transaction, he
said, was made in a bank at Tacoma,
and the consideration was about $25,-
600.
when we find Peary in the north
stealing my supplies he continued,
1--WE next find him STOPPING to crime
for which he would be 1ynched in any
land where red blood stirs the hu-
man passions. Twenty-Five miles be-
yOnd Etah, this man deserted two in
nocent little children: he left his own
flesh and blood amidst the frosts of
the Arctic There they are today The
meanest savage would not do that r
E. Peary did it."

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

We were speaking of young glrl,
who although only twenty-five or three
years old, looks thirty.
She has not had a particularly hard
life There is nothing especially aging
about her work. She has not mad any
more than the ordinary mortals snare
of sorrows and disappointments-
Why, then, this strangely premature
aging, we debated.
Said the lady who always knows
somehow, 'I'u tell you just what
think it is. It's because she has so
many responsibilities
RESPONSIBILITIES we scoffed, what
particular responsibilities has she, a
girl of tweEty-three, with fatner ana
mother who give her pleasant home,
and not even any younger brothers and
sisters to worry her?"
well" said the lady, "She has her
fathers business to carry on, and then
there's her mothers housework, and
married sisters home and two child
ren, and then there's her older broth
er's business-think what a tax that
must be for her..
you mean that she carries all the
family responsibilities as we'll as her
EXACTLY" said the lady, "Just as
most of these people who get old be-
fore their time do"
Isn't it true?
A
everywhere who are wearing them
selves out just because they have not
vet mastered what Harriet Beecher
Stowe calls one of the most important
parts of the scheme of living-'to
learn just what our responsibility is,
and to let other peoples alone?'
When we were out driving the other
dav. our horse became frightened and
bore down upon a crossroad at a most
undesirable smart pace. Just as we
reached the crossing, another carriage
loouned up in front of us, and although
we pulled in as hard as we could it
looked for an instant as if something
were going. to happen Fortunately,
the other man whipped UP his horse
and got past in time to avoid col
lison.
.'Didn't you think we were going to
run into them ~ I said afterwards
"Oh, no. said my companion cheer
fully, "I knew that If the other man
did his part we would be all right and
I thought he would. 1 believe in not
trying to do the whole thing, but in
giving the other fellow credit for hav-
ing sense, as well as you
It seems to me that that is a pl1iloso-
ply which is too little regarded by
many travellers on the Kings Highway.
We feel that the whole responsibility
OF avoiding a collision rests on our
handling of the reins, while all the
time the other fellow is doing just as
much to avoid it.
We feel the burden of the whole sit
uation upon us, while in reality we are
only responsible for some tiny corner
of the business
We insist on thrusting our shoulders

When he arises he will be escorted a

he and the guests are seated, another

They will reach the Presidents

The Price woman told the officers Mar
