DESPATCH FROM WHITNEY TO COOK New Haven Polar Region Hunter Says in i'is Telegram to Cook “Sze you Soon, Explain All”—On Account of Peary’s Refusal to Bring Along the Doctor’s In- struments They May Not Arrive Until Next Spring. New York, Sept. 26—Commander Robert E. Peary refused absolutely to allow any of thé records or Instru- ments of Dr. Frederick A. Cook to be brought aboard the steamer Roose- velt, and was thus instrumental in causing these records to remmin in a cache at Etah, Greemland, according to Harry Pavne Whitney, the New Ha- ven sportsman, in a despatch received in this city by Dr. Cook toda. Message from Whitney to Cook. The message whigh came s a re- eponse to the one yent by Dr. Cook, is as follows: “Strathcona, via Indian. Harbor and Cape Ray, N F., Sept. ! “Dr. . A. Cook;*Waldarf, New York: arted for home Rooseveit. Noth- trig arrived for’me. Peary «would al- low nothing belonging to you on board.

Dr. § questioned today as to his views of the situation created by the action ascribed to Commander Peary. but he declined fo say any- thing derogatory-of ‘his rival, - “It may be that the instruments will arrive this vear, after all" be sald. “and as for the records and observations their non-arrival here ‘makes’ no difference whatever, as 1 have eomplete dupli- cates, so that there will .be-no.delay in compiling my. story. with all its . Cook did 1ot appear to be great. 1y perturbed " the news he received from Mr. Whitney. He hopes to see him in a very short time and to bear & complete explanation of tife occur- rences at Etah. No Slander Suit Apanist Peary. Dr. Cook denied thg,report that he was to bring suit for slander against Peary. “There |8 no truth in the re- ort,” he said, “I have no intention of inging suit. Naturally, I am tak- ing ‘measures to have -everything in order in cage of necessity; but 1 have sievar ‘even (Holight of filing a suit and 1 wieh to contradict such reports &t once.” 1f they are still at-Etah, Dr. Cook’s instruments rpay not arrive in New York until the spring of 1910. There is a, possibility, however. of their reaching here this year, for another vessel may have-touched at Etah aft- er the Roosevelt left. Absence of Records and Instruments Will Not Affect Ultimate Results. “1 shall wait." continued Dr. Cook. 1 think that Mr. Whitney knew what he had In his possession. It would be very dificult for me to say what effect the occurrence will have. The absence of the records and Instruments will, however, not affect the ultimate result a particale. But it would be very desirable to have the instruments here: that ix certain. “Mr. Whitney certainly knew that the effects left with him were import- ant. He compelled to tell Pearv that he had my things w him. He is too homest to suppress such information. “1 bad not spoken to Mr. Whitney of any estrangement between Mr. Peary and myself. He had believed that a ship would come for him from the American side and the._things would go along -in it. -The leaving of the instruments may cause delay in sendin~ my records to Copenhagen, but will not affect the people who are to make the final investigation. “There were & few originals among the documents left with Mr. Whitney, but it will npt make any difference if they are never found again. Whitney reaily does not know what there is or what there is not among them. Instruments Will Be Looked After. “The instruments are not lost. The Eskimos know Where they ‘are. They will ‘be looked after. . “Whitney has sent no word except’ they are at = - ah. 3 “As to the question of proof, that 1s the same, whether the observations are made by oné person or by five or more. $ “ I am sure Peary had no means of getting any news of me since the mid- dle of-'April; but he knew that I' had gone south. . My instruments were packed separately i~ several boxes and these were put into a packing- case. They could not be injured’ by falls or rough hamdling. ' “Regarding the ibility that a ‘man could go within two or three and think he that to the in ‘When Mr. Whitney met me on my arrival at Etah, the first thing he said was: I, T have been here in a lueky year.' “It is impossible to send anyone to Etah to fetch the instruments and re¢ords at this time of the year, as ivigation is closed; and if it were open a ship would take four or five ‘weeks to get there. Nensensical Charge of Copying Peary's Sledge ges. . “Mr. Whitney,has.said all he needs to say of the subject of my expedi- tion. The remark that has been made that I copied Peary’s sledges is non- sensical. He hitherto used the exact prototype of the Bskimo sledge. never copied anything. I have not seen him for over two years, so I could not have coyled his ideas. “T have netered igto no arrange- ment to meet Mr. Peary at any time. Whitney's Steamer Due 8t. John'son Wednesday. 8t. John's, N.-¥., Sept. 26 —Wireless despatches received hére say that the schooner Jeanje, ,which Is bringing Harry Whitney, the New Haven bunt- er, back to civilization, left Indian Harbor yesterday = morning St for John's and likely would 'not call at Hattle Harbor.

Mr. | whom Dr. Cook is said to have given a detailed account of his trip to the pole, has sent a wireless message from Indian Harbor, Labrador, in answer to the question: “Did Cook reach the. pole?” % “I have no reason to doubt Cook’s statement,” says Whitney. PEARY JUSTIFIES HIS ACTION AS TO COOK’S EFFECTS. Says He Had;Been Aware for Some Time of Cook’s Intention to Claim Honer of Discovery. Portland, Me., _Sept. 26.—It -was learned ‘from a source close to Com- mander . Peary tonight that the com- mander justifies his action of refusing to allow Dr. Frederick A. Cook's In- struments or records on board the homeward bound steamer Roosevelt on the theory that he had been aware for some time of Cook's intention to ‘laim the_discovery of the north pole, and that Peary, therefore, would sanc- tion mothing in’ aid of this project. 3 plorer, Paary's forthcoming statement con- cerning Cook, it was also learned, will charge that the Brooklyn explorer cannot producé shoes, sledges or other equipment which will ‘show the wear and tear that comes from travel over the Arctie ice. This is the first inti- mation of any specific evidenge that the commander will produce, although he has said from time to time. that he has evidence enough to discredit Dr. Cook. ¢ Whitney’s Arrival Spurs Peary to Make a Statement. It seems evident that Peary is de- sirous of issuing his statement in the near future especially since the ar- rival of Harry Whitney at Indian Har- bor. While he declares that Whitney has no part in the controversy, Com- mander Peary has nevertheless re- ceived messages concerning Whitney's progress. He has made no attempt, howeyer, to-communicate with Whitney and says that he will make none. Arrival of the Roosevelt at Eagle Island a Surpri The Roosevelt arrived unexpectedly today gt Eagle Island, Commander Peary's. home, to leave Peary’s per- soanl belongings and to receive sup- plemgntary orders. The vesdel's ar- rival’ was a surprise, for Commander Peary, who proceeded her to his home, said mothing of the possibility of her touching at Eagle Island. On the other hand, when she safled from Sydney on Wednesday morning last the general understanding was that she would pro- ceed direct to New York, with a prob- ability of taking part in one of the Hudson-Fulton naval parades. After unloading Peary's belongin, which filled four or five small boats, the Roosevelt had steam up tonight ready to sail for New York. Com- mander Peary will go to Bar Harbor tomorrow fo, a conference with Gen Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic club. He will remain there until Tuesday night, possibly later, and it is there that he will probably issue the formal statement attacking Dr. Cook. & Roosevelt 8, for New York. Portland, Me., Sept. 26—The Roosevelt left EagleIsland for New York at 10 o'clock tonight. The Roosevelt, with favorable weather, should arrive in New York Tuesday night or Wednesday.

END OF THE WORLD TNDEFINITELY SIDETRACKED Holy Rollers Again Many of the Faithful Give It Up. West, Duxbury, Mass., ‘Sept. 26— The time set for the end of the world as revealed in visions to some of the more radical of the Triune Immersion- ists who hape gathered at Ashdod for the.past few days, has passed, and to- night at the little chapel of the faithful & service of prayer and song was held to ask the counsel of God and to await his revelation. Dozens of the faithful . have given up all hope of the “great glorification” at the present time and have gone to their homes, but others have arrived to take their places. Mark B. Radcliffe, leader of the sect in Yonkers, N. Y., said that a large number of the faithful may be expected to arrive tomorrow. and that by that time there should be about 150 present. There were two more baptisms to- day, bringing the total number of im- mersions ‘at the present conclave up o Rain fell heapily t out the day, but had apparen e effect on the ‘enthusiasm of the nd. Re- ligious services were the lit- tle chapel and were continued tonight in the hope that some. revelation of the spirit might be made regarding the purification of the by fire, or that some counsel as to the future might be given. The meeting at the chapel was thrown open to such outsiders as cared to attend and was conducted much in the same manner as prayer and testi- monial meetings of other Genomina- tions. But nearby, in a room that serves as a kitchen, there was another meeting to which only the faithful were allowed admittance. The room, which is 40 feet long by 30 wide, was crowded with Immersfonists. All were standing with hands and faces uprais- ed and with lips moving, apparently waiting for some revelation.

It was found that there was nothing objectionable about the play, that there was nothing which could do any harm, it being clean and interesting. Alderman Whiting sald: “We found the play all right and will allow it to come. "There was mothing objection- able that we could see.” Councilman Geer said: “There was nothing injurious about the play, noth- ing which could do any harm. The negro situation is different today than it was fifty years ago, and the com- mittece could find nothing objectiona- ble. It is a good play.” The decigion of the commfttee was reached in the theater at New Lon- don and they returned home on the Bar Harbor express. They could not find t! the different scenes referred to at the hearing were harmful, or that the dance of the colored woman was as represented. MANY NEW VOTERS MADE IN NORWICH.

DAHLIA SHOW BY NQI‘“GULTURAL SOCIETY Beautiful Display of Flowers Attract- d Large Crowd to Buckingham Memorial—Those Who Won the Prizes. . With a larger -attendance than in previous years the 1909 dahlia show of the New London county horticul- tural society was ‘held at the Buck- ingham Memorial in this city on Sat- urday. Both the hall and post room were devoted 'to the tables of flowers and the admirers and growers foun plenty to take up their attention dur- ing the afternoon and evening. The classes had been attractively arranged by W. W. Ives, while the secretary, Frank H. Allen, and Mrs. Allen had plenty to- do in the way of making arrangements and gettin ginto shape several displays which were sent here from-out-of town. The committee from the society in charge of the show in- cluded Otto Ernst, H. F. Parker, Frank H. Allen, S. A. Gilbert, Michael Shea, Gustave Neuman, R. R. Wilcox, Rev. Neilson Poe Carey, O. Lange, W. W. Tves, J. Stevens and Charles T. Beas- ley. The show revealed to local dahlia growers that the amateurs in this vi- nity had not succeeded as well as usual in dahla culture on account of severe drouth conditions, a less num- ber being evident than usual. The show also disclosed what has been done by the commerNial growers in the way of incréasing the size. of blooms if all classes in recent years to meet the. popular demand for: great flowers, “The greatest double dahlia.
