tOBbf TORK, Oct 12.—The following statement of Commander Robert
B. Peary, which he submitted, together
with an accompanying map, to the
Peary Arctic olub in support ot his
contention tbat Dr. Cook did not reach
the Nortb Pole, is now made public for
tbe first time. The statement and map
have been copyrighted by the Peary
Arctic club.
Introduction By Peary.
Some of my reasons for saying that
Dr. Cook did not go to the North Pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimos who
started,wltb Dr. Cook from Anoratok
ta February," 1908, were at Etah when
I arrived there to August, 1908. They
told me that Dr. Cook had with him,
after they left, two Eskimo hoys or
' young men, two sledges and some
twenty dogs. The boys were I-took-a-
shoo and Ah-pe-lah. I bad known
them from their childhood. One was
about 18 and the other about 19 years
of age.
On my -return from Cape . Sheridan
and at the very flrst settlement I touched (NerIre. near Cape Chalon) ln August, 1909, aad nine days before reaching
Etah, the -Eskimos told me, in a general way, where Dr. Cook had been;
that he had wintered to Jones Sound
ahd that he had told the white men at
Etah that he had been a long way
north, but that the boys wbo were with
[hlm, I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah, said
that this was not so. The Eskimos
laughed at Dr. Cook's story. On reaching Etah, I talked with the Eskimos
there and with the two boys and asked
them to describe Dr. Cook's journey to.
members of my party and myself. This
they .did in the manner stated below.-
Signed   Statement sf  Peary,  Bartl*"-,
McMillan, Borup" and Hensen In Regard  te  Testimony  of  Cook's  Two
Eskimo Boys.
Tne 'two-Eskimo boys, I-tobk-a-shoo
and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied Dr
Gook while he was away from Anoratok in 1908 end 1900, were questioned
separately aid independently, and were
corroborated by Panikpah, the father
of one of them (I-took-a-shoo). who
I was personally familiar with the first
third and the last third of their journey, and who said that the route for the
remaining 'third, as shown by them,
was as described to him by his son after his return with Dr. Oook.
Notes of their statements were taken
by several of us, and no one of us has
any doubt that they told the truth.
Their testimony was unshaken by
cross-examination^ was corroborated by
other men iii the tribe, and was elicited neither by threats nor promises, the
two boys' and their father talking of
their journey and their experiences in
the same way that they would talk of
any hunting trip.
Boy Shewed Route.
To go more toto details: One of the
boys was called in and wltb a chart on
the Jtab'e before him, was asked to
show where he had gone with Dr.
Cook. This he did, pointing out with
his finger on the map, but not making
any marks upon it.
As be went out, the other boy came
in and was asked to show where he had
[gone with Dr. Cook. This he did, also
without making any marks, and -indicated the same route and the same details as did the first boy.
When he was through, Panikpah, the
father of I-took-a-shoo, a very intelligent man, who wae in the party of Eskimos that came back from Dr. Cook
from the northern end of Nansen's
Strait, who is familiar as a hunter with
the Jones Sound region, and who has
been ih Commander Peary's various ex
pedition for some fifteen years, came
to and indicated the same localities and
details as .the two'boys.
Gave Localities.
Then the flrst boy was brought in
again, and witb a pencil he traced on
the map their -route, members of our
party writing "upon the chai-t where
according to the boy's statement, they
bad killed deer, bear, some of their
dugs, seal, walrus and musk-oxen.
Th* second boy was then called in
and the ;two went over the chart together, the second boy suggesting some
changes as noted hereafter.
Finally, Panikpah, the father, was
again called in to verify details of the
portions of the route with which he
was personally faillar.
The -bulk of the boys' testimony was
not taken by Commander Peary, nor in
bis presence, a fact that obviates any'
possible claim that they were awed bv
him.
Certain questions on independent lines
froni the direct narrative of the Eskimo boys were suggested by Commander
Peary to some of us, and, were put by
us to the "Eskimo boys.
Still later, Commander Peary asked
tbe Eskimo boys two or three casual
que. tions on minor points that had occurred to him.
Cook Threatened Boys.
'  During the taking of .this testimony,
it developed that Dr. Cook   had   told
these boys, as he told Mr. Whitney and
Billy .Pritchard, the cabin boy thait they
KEY WEST DESOLATED DY
GREAT TROPICAL STORM
Loss of   Life Smaller   Than at   First
Reported.
KEY' WEST, Fla., Oot. 12.—Hundreds
of homeless are still roaming the
streets, hungry and with little prospect
of shelter tonight, as a result of yesterday's storm. Fortunately the weather is warm and there is little physical
suffering. The war department has instructed the commandant of the coast
artillery companies stationed here to
aid the city authorities in every way
possible and tents and bedding will be
distributed by the soldiers. No estimate can be given of the financial loss,
but It is believed it will be between
$2,000,000 and $3,000,000. One death is
reported.
A mate of the schooner Medford lost
his -life at the government wharf and
his body was washed overboard. Three
members of the.crew of another schooner are missing and it is thought they
were drowned.
Matacumbie reports no loss of life
there. The reported. loss of 800 lives
along the east coast is believed to hei
unfounded.
The Florida East Coast raUway extension steamer Phil. Sheckel arrived
here this afternoon from Sugar Loaf,
bringing the first direct news from the
thousands of men employed on the extension, concerning whom there was
grave apprehension. The camps at
Bocachica and Sugar Loaf were destroyed and tbe grade for thirty miles
above Stock Island is badly damaged
but there has been no loss of life along
the line.

CLEVELAND", O., Oct.. 12.—Dr. Frederick A. Cook, Arctic explorer, accompanied by Mrs. Oook and lecture staff.
f-'-t i.ycu here today from Detroit. Dr.
[Cook, who lectured here. tonight, was
met at the depot by Commodore George
VI, Gardner and Attorney Samuel P.
[Ortii. who. accompanied h'im on his trip
to the frozen north several .years ago.
After luncheon Dr. Cook was taken
to the Case School of Applied Science,
where he addressed the students.
"It is the same old story," said Dr.
Cook, when he was shown the statement issued by Commander Peary, together with the map accompanying it.
"I have replied to the points raised a
dozen times," he continued. "The map
published by Commander Peary in -itself indicates that the Eskimos have
respected their promise made to me,
that they would not- give any information to Peary or his men.
"I will not enter toto any argument
about the matter but I will bring the
Eskimos to New York at my own expense and they will prove, as did Mr.
Whitney, all that I have claimed."
Dr. Cook would not consent, to go
over the details contained to Mr.
this:
"The Eskimos," ho said, "are only
too willing to say something that tbey
think will please their questioners."
The explorer was not: at all perturbed by the accusations. A confident
smile flickered over his bronzed face
when they were shown him. The doctor continued:
"Rasmussen, who will be here shortly, has seen the Eskimos and knows
the real story. They did not try to
deceive' him. He was with them for
fourteen days. They know him and
told him everything. He speaks ,the
Eskimo language for he is a semi-
Eskimo himself and tne people have
tbe most complete confidence in him."
He concluded:
"That is all I have to say now."
He then proceeded to the lecture
room in the utmost good humor amd
confidence to deliver his lecture.
TiVERTON POUCE HAVE
NOT DISCOVERED CLUE
One Bit of Evidence Was Found to Be
Misleading.
TIVERTON, R. I., Oct. 12.—Although added evidence of the fact tbat
a murder had been committed was
found tonight through the discovery
of the torso of the young woman
whose legs were found yesterday in
the underbrush adjoining Bulger
marsh road, the police tonight were
still without a clue to the identity of
the victim or of those responsible.
Deduction over night, however, had led
them to look to Fall River, or possibly Tiverton, as the scene of the
crime, rather than to New Bedford.
A seeming indipation that Fall River
was the place of the murder was
found to the pencil written name and
address "Frank Hii, (or HiU) Pleasant
street, FaU River," which appeared on
the inside of the cover of the traveling
bag, the lower part of which contained
the severed lower limbs found yesterday. Inquiry at Fall River, however,
failed to attach any connection with
the crime to two men of that name ta
the city, neither of whom live on
Pleasant street
The local police will tomorrow organize a posse which will. -- closely
search the underbrush and thickets

Clarke and Wagner In
the Third.
DETROIT, Oct. 12.-MDeitrolt defeated
Pittsburg five to nothing today and
evened up the count In the world's
championship series, each now having
two victories to its credit. The game
was played with the mercury at 34 degrees above zero, .but 17,030 persons
braved the chilling temperature and
freezing blasts and the great majority
of them felt well repaid for their polar
experiences, because they were with
Detroit.
The American league champions outclassed their rivals in every department
of the game and the pitching of George
Mullin will make one of the brightest
bits in the baseball history of Detroit;
It is hard to conceive of any- pitcher
having his opponents more at his
mercy than Mullin had Pittsburg today
There was never a moment when he
was not the absolute master of thc
situation and he was at his best with
men on bases. Four hits represented
the ability of the visitors and no two of
those were made in the same toning.
Wagner Struck Out.
Mullin performed a feat to the third
inning that will live long In the annals of baseball and was frozen on the
minds of those who saw it. In the
third inning he struck out the mighty
Wagner, with two out and ■ men on
second and third. That was a mighty
feat, but just previously he had struck
out Manager Clarke, a hard hitter,
with men on first and second. A
double steal on Clarke's third strike
moved the men to second and third.
where they were when Wagner came
to bat. T.eifield was also a victim or.
strikes in this same Inning, giving
Mullin three strike-outs iri one session
All told, he struck out the visitors ten
times.
Detroit scored because lt was able
to hit when hits spelled runs, Stallage.
Jennings' young catcher, distinguished
himself In. the second inning, by sending Detroit's first two- runs across the.,
plate with a drive just out of Miller's
reach. In the fourth inning Bush's
ringing donble into the overflow crowd
in the left fleld scored another run and
it was immediately followed b.v another
two-bagger into ,the same place by Ty
Cobb.
Lelfield Was Derricked.
The onslaughts by Detroit in the second and fourth innings drove Leifteld.
Pittsburg's star left-hander, from tho
slab and he was succeeded by the
veteran Phllllppe, who was able to
stem the Detroit tide, although they
pressed him hard in the eighth inning.
Eight hits were made by Detroit and
six of those came in the two innings
when the scores were made, only two
were wasted.
Outside of Mullin there were no stars
on the Detroit team, but their ensemble
work was brilliant. Every man did the
right thing at the right time and only
one fielding slip marred the otherwise
perfect performance.
The cold apparently affected the
Pittsburg fielding far more than it did
Detroit's, as the National league champions put up a miserable exhibition in
that department. Six, errors were
charged to the infield—Abstein, Miller
and Phillippe, each getting two. The
six errors detract Uttle credit from Detroit's performance, as only one of
them figured, in the scoring.
Odds Have Changed.
The conclusive victory of Detroit has
toppled Pittsburg from its proud position as the favorite in thejietting and
even money is now being offered as a
more equitable indication of the relative merits of the two major league
league champions. The teams left for
Pittsburg tonight and the fifth game
will be played at Forbes field tomorrow. The scene will then shift back to
this city where the sixth game is
scheduled for Thursday.
Detroit is celebrating its victory to
due stvle .tonight and the American
leaaue champions' supporters are more
than confident Detroit will be successful in its third attempt to win the
world's baseball championship.
Wagner Was Helpless.
Hans Wagner failed to star ae he
did in yesterday's game. At the bat be
was helpless before Mullin. The first
time he was luck enough to draw a
base on balls but he was forced out
lat third. The third inning saw his
[memorable strike-out; in the sixth he
sent a hot liner into Tom Jones' hands
and la the ninth he was an easy out,
Morlarity to Tom Jones. In the fleld
he had two putouts and four assists
bnt most of tbem were of the easy
sort. His best play came in the fourth
Inning when he fumbled a grounder
by Stanage for the fraction of a second and recovered it quickly and
touched second, forcing Tom Jones
and threw to flrst in time to double
up Stanage. If he had fumbled the
grounder for an appreciable time
longer, Detroit might have had many
more runs, as three runs came after
the double, play.
Cobb made one hit--a two-bagger—
and reached first once when -he was
hit by Leifteld. The otber two time*

to front of jtbe plate, but Gibson threw
him out both times.   In the field he ha/1
WASHINGTCN, Oct. 12.—Organized
labor, representing many parte of this
country, Canada and even Cuba, paid
a notable tribute tonight in this city
to the home-coming from Europe of
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
arrived here early this evening from
New. York. The celebration in. honor
of his return after an absence of several months was probably the most enthusiastic " demonstration ever accorded aa American labor leader. The
occasion was featured by a monster
parade, followed later by a big mass
meeting in Convention ball. It is estimated 20,000 mon and women participated in the parade.
An incident in connection with the
parade which occasioned considerable
discussion and comment was the action of President Gompers in refusing
to allow a company of the' National
Guard of the District of Columbia to
participate. Although the Central Labor union' at a meeting here last night
went on record in favor of the guardsmen taking part in the celebration,
there was some opposition among -the
delegates on the- ground, it is said, that
the organized militia of the country
was used only "to shoot down strikers
and union men."
MORSE SUDDENLY TAKEN
ILL ON MONDAY NIGHT
Has   Nervous   Breakdown   Following
Court's Action.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Officials at
the Tombs prison reported' today that
Charles. W. Morse,' the financier, had
been taken suddenly ill-and after
spending a restless night had been
visited by the prison physician, who
administered a sleeping potion. The
illness was said to be a nervous breakdown following the failure yesterday
of Morse's appeal from his fifteen-year
prison sentence. Mr. Morse was reported tonight as resting quietly.
Morse's counsel, Martin Vf. Littleton, called at the federal building today to learn the prospects of having
Morse released on ball again pending
the final review of the case by the
United States supreme court on a
writ of certiorari, for which a forty
days' stay of sentence has been granted. Mr. Littleton received no encouragement from the court, it was announced later.

NEW YO'EK, Oct. 12.—New York's
Republican candidate for the mayoralty, Otto T. Bannard, began a speech-
making tour of the greater city tonight,
with several speeches on the West Side.
Has addresses were notably temperate
In tone, he accused none of bia rivals
of any improprieties and he did not
make any reply to Justice Gaynor s
charges that he was a typical machine
candidate and unqualified for the post
to which he aspires. He referred good-
naturedly to the manifold charges and
counter charges which his rivals, Mr.
Gaynor and Mr. Hearst, are flinging at
each other and expressed confidence
that the result would show that the
campaigns of both men were adding
votes to his ticket.
It was a day of rest for the Democratic and Independent candidates.
Justice Gaynor was engaged for the
greater part of the day in clearing up
his court work, preparatory to presenting his resignation from the bench.
This he will probably do tomorrow.
Former Police Commissioner Theodore Bingham, who has hitherto been
a stalwart Democrat, tonight declared
bimself a supporter of Bannard. He
told a large audience at the Madison
Avenue Baptist church that the opportunity for a Tammany defeat this year
was better than ever before. Suffragists of New York today began to plan
a woman's campaign in aid of Mr.
Hearst, who last night declared himself an' advocate of woman's suffrage.
"It is our greatest political oppor
tunity," declared Mrs. Harriet Stanton
Blatch. one of the suffrage leaders in a
statement tday. "Mr. Hearst's reply
has aroused a deep feeling of honor
and gratitude and this campaign is
likely lo mark a historic point in the
suffrage cause."

IN BIGJJBEL CASE
Judge Thinks Circumstances Are
Peculiar
PERSONAL LIBERTY AT STAKE
Judge Anderson Says Plainly That tha
Panama Deal Was Open to Suspicion and Paper Did Its
-   Duty.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 12 —
Judge A. B. Anderson, of the United
States court of this district, today,
dismissed the proceedings against
Delavan Smith and Charles R.
Williams, proprietors of the Indiana-
polls News, who were resisting removal to the district of Columbia for
trial under a grand jury indictment,
charging them With having committed
criminal libel in publishing articles
alleging that there was corrupt profit
of $28,000,000 to the sale of the Panama canal to the United States.
"That man has read the history of
our institutions to little purpose" said
Judge Anderson in conclusion, " who
does not view with apprehension the
success of such a. proceeding as this
to the end that citizens could be
dragged from their homes to the District of Columbia, the seat of government, for trial under the circumstances of this case." The defendants are
discharged."
Judge's Opinion,
At the close today of argument in
the hearing of Messrs. Smith and
Williams, Judge Anderson said that
he was too busy with other matters
to write a long opinion in the case,
though it clearly was one of great
public interest and importance and
involved several complex questions)
of procedure in the United States
courts. He would proceed, he said,
to sum up at once his view of the
evidence and the argument.
"I am of the opinion" said Judge
Anderson, "that the fact that certain
persons were called 'Thieves' and
'Swindlers' does not constitute libel
per se. A newspaper has a certain
duty to perform. As a former president said Tt is the duty of a newspaper to print the news and to tell
the truth about it.' It is the duty of
a newspaper to draw inferences for
the people.
Peculiar Circumstances.
"Now there were many peculiar
circumstances about the whole Panama canal business. I do not wish to
be understood as-reflecting upon anybody in or out of office, except such
person or persons as I may name.
"The revolution in Panama, the
circumstances concerning it, were
unusually peculiar. The people were interested in the construction of the
canal. It was a matter of great public
concern. A large portion of the people
favored the Nicarauguan route;
another portion, those who were interested in it, officially and personally—-just interested—preferred the
Panama route. A committee, was appointed to investigate the relative
merits of the two routes. They investigated and reported in favor of
the Nicarauguan. Shortly afterwards
they changed to Panama. Up-to the
time of that change, as I gather from
the evidence, the lowest offer which
had been suggested as the one at
which the Panama property—the
property of the Panama canal company—could be procured was something over $100,000,000. Then rather
suddenly it became known that it
could be procured for $40,000,000.
Some Suspicion.
"Now, there were a number of people who thought there was something
wrong, something not just exactly
right about that transaction, and I say
for myself now that I feel a natural
curiosity to know what the real Itrut'n
was.
"Thereupon the committee of the
United States senate was appointed
to investigate these matters. Several
men were called before the committee
to give their information.
"Mr. Cromwell, lis attorney for
these individuals, stood upon his
privilege whenever questions were
asked, the answer to which would
or might reflect upon him or his associates; but whenever a question
was asked him which gave him an
opportunity to say something in their
behalf he ostentatiously thanked the
examiner and proceeded to answer. To
my mind that was just grounds for
suspicion. I am suspicious about it'
now.
All Are Interested.
"So we have this situation now. We
were all interested. Here was a newspaper printing the news or trying to.
"Now, if that is the situation, the
question is, did these defendants under the circumstances act honestly -In
the discharge of this duty. This indictment Charges these defendents with
commission of a crime ta the District
of Columbia. Now, the constitution of
the United States, in one of the amendments, provides that the accused shall
he tried.in the state or district where
the offense is committed.
No Agency Maintained.
"The Indianapolis News is owned
by these defendants, conducted and
-published by them, printed by them
in the city .of Indianapolis, state of
Indiana. The defendants maintain no agent or bureau or office in
the city of Washington in the District of Columbia for the circulation
of papers within that district.
' "To my mind there is but one conclusion to be drawn. Everything that
the evidence shows that defendants do,
or did, they do and did in the state
of Indiana, city of Indianapolis.
Liberty In Danger.
"To my mind, that man has read
the history of our institutions to very
little pnrpose who doea not put very
little valuation - on the. possible success of evldenoe such as this,   If the
history of liberty means anything; if
the constitution means anything, then
the prosecuting authorities should
not have the power to select the tribunal; if there be more than one to
select from, at the capital of the
nation, nor should the government
have the power to drag citizens from
distant states there for trial."
WISCONSIN SANK FAILS
AND SHORTAGE IS HEAVY
Investments in  Mines Proved to  Be
Worthless.
MINERAL POINT, Wis., Oct. 12.—A
more serious aspect developed in the
failure of the First National bank here
today, it being reported that tbe shortage instead of $200,000, as at first estimated, will run ctose to $400,000. Vice
President Phil Allen is said to have
lost heavily in California and Montana
mining investments. Worthless notes
poured into the bank today and widows and orphans were hard hit, as
Mr. Allen acted as administrator of
many estates. The value of the securities which he has turned over to the
bank has not been ascertained, but
much western mining stock in the collection "is said to be worthless. Bank
Examiner Goodhart today telegraphed
the comptroller of the currency at
Washington, asking for the appointment of a receiver for the bank, and
it is expected that the receiver will
take charge on Thursday.
Mr. Goodhart worked over the
bank's' books until late tonight, practically completing .his work, sey that
everything will be in readiness for tile
receiver. The city is noticeably quiet
in the face of a calamity which affects
a large proportion of the community.
It seems past beUef to a majority of
depositors that anything could be really wrong with the First National bank,
which had been to existence for more
than a generation. The manner ta
which the .bank was defrauded, it is alleged, was by the substitution of notes
in the forged names of well known
local business men for negotiable securities.
