Arctic mmt.er Amved at 8t John’s, N. F., Yes- i terday, Aboard DR. GOOK'S STORY Schooner Jeame ., SEEMS TRUTHFUL Has no R‘oofl to Doubt b W Jone, N Sebt 23 —Harry of New Haven believes that B hetick & Cook found the pole, and that Commander Peary did the same. In expressing this belief today Mr. Whitney sajd that he knows mo reason tdr doubtiag Cook more than Peary. Cook’s Seems 7MM’HI and Probable, “Dr. Cook's story,” he added, “seems to me truthful and probable. Nothing else would explain his twelve months’ absence.” Cook’s Inetruments Left With Whitney ‘The schooner Jeanie arrived here to- ‘Whitney aboard, coming from the Greeniand coast by Indian Harbor, Labrador. -Mr. Whit- ney feels keenly the position in which he is placed. He went morth, he said, merely on a hunting trip, and now finds himself in the st center of a polar controversy. Dr. Cook left with him at Annootok several cases con- taining instruments, some other be- longings, but, so far as Mr. Whitney knew, no written records. There may have been records, however, packed with Dr. Cook's personal effects, but the explorer did not teli him especially that he was leaving written records in his possession. What Cook Told Whitney. Speaking of Dr. Cook’s detailed ac- count of his trip to the pole “tr. Whit- 1d that the explorer showed him v the western drift of the ice had landed him in a region far remote from| where he expected to go and he was urable to get back. He could not speak with authority as to-whether Dr. Cook and his two Eskimos could carry on their three sledges enough food for their journeéy to the pole, as he him- self is a novice.in Arctic traveling. He declared he knew nothing of the controversy heyond the vaguest details. The first he learned of it was at In- dian Harbor, when he received mes- saged from several American papers asking for, a_statement. Theue he answered briefy. Cook’s Stores Were Tr.nl'crrod Mr, Whitney denjed that Commander Peary' had removed Dr. Cook'’s stores from: Annootok to Etalh. What Peary reglly did was to transfer a few things and Tebyild the house at Annootok. Boatswain Murphy’s only reason for refusing to help Captain Bernfer's Cas nadian expedition to-get' dogs and sledges,‘at ‘Etah was that they were short of ‘dogs_themselves. Mr. Whit- ney had trouple in gefting enough dogs for his_ teams all through the winter, and Murphy was looking out for Peary, so that he would have suf- ficlent dogs for .the commander’s ex-" loring. trips around the country when e returned from the. north. Story way of Peary’s Instructions Regarding Cook’s Stores. There were two houses on the Green- land shore, one at Annootok, holding Cook’s ‘stores, and another at Etah, holdfng Peary's stores. The three white men, Whitney, lurphy and Pritchard, sometimes occ and some. times the other.of these houses. Murphy was'in. charge of both houses. He is . not. able to read or ‘write. He had . written instructions from Peary which Whitney, at Peary's request, read over to him from time to time. These Instructions were very stringent. They directed Murphy to ‘use Coolc’s stores first-and Peary's af- terwards. Murphy was told in them that he was to give Dr. Cook every help if he came along in a needy con- dition; and, furthermore, the instruc- tions implied that Murphy was to or- ganize an expedition to search for Dr. s Account More than Peary’s Whitney Keenly Feels His Position as Storm Center of the Polar Controversy—Said He had Been Nérth Merely on Hunting Trip. Cook; but, according. to Mr. Whitney, this part of the {Nistiga wai word- ad_very uubiluo :h.n Cook had a Mr. Whitney said copy of these instructlons and would doubtless ‘make them public. Murphy treated Cook very clvilly d Cook suffered no discourtesy.' .Mr.. Whitney said -that.last month, when Peary, on board the Roosevelt, reached Htah from the north, after his winter's work there, he “(Whitney) in- formed him of Dr. Cgok’s arrival in April, adding it C told him (Whitney) to tell Peary that Cook had e beyond Peary's tlnhzn north. eary made no comment on this and Whitney said he was not asked any other questions by Peary. What Copk’s Eskimos Sa But the next day- Cook's Eskimos came ‘to Whitney and him what Peary's men were trying to get them ;:s‘:'l Peary” )no: had shown ::e skimos Toaps, but the Fakimos deciared they 1 ot under- stand these papers. 8o far as Mr. ‘Whitney is: aware, Cook's Eskimos he\er -d-nm that while with the i v had only progressed two '!;l?.'; "ug mme pocseit leavi e day the »was - leaving Etah for home Whitney informed Peary that Cook had:entrusted to him certain belongings . to. bring home on the vemsel that was camln[ up for itney. but as this ship had not ar- rivea Whitney wi t a loss what to go flthllh& Trl' {’e ry declined 0 permit, 's_belongings to be Brought aboard # e Roosevelt, and he put Whitney on_ his b ot to in- clude anything belonging to Dr. Cook in his own luggage. What Was Done - 'll&l.fiqni\’l Property ‘Whitney thereypon went ashore from the Roosevelt, separated Dr. Cook's property from his own baggage, and, with the aid of Capt.

Asked why he did not return to Etah and get Cook's property, after he had joined the Jeanie, Whitney replied that he and Captain Bartlett debated that point at length. Bartlett wanted him to g0 back, but he was in_this predica- ment: He had promised his chief Es- kimo a Winchester rifie, which was to hdve been brought up by the Jeanie. But for some reason or other this weapon was Dot on board the Jeanie, and, before Whitney left Etah, he had arranged the matter with the Eskimo by giving him .an equivalent for the rifie. He explained that he ‘did mot likke to- go back to Etah and, when ked for the rifle, have to admit that was not on board. Mr. Whitney therefore decided to go bear hunting. In conclision Mr. Whitney declared that he regretted being dragged into this controversy. He said he had found both Dr. Cook and Commander Peary most courteous and considerate, and that he had never met any men whose conduct generally was more commendable or whose dealing with him had been more fair. EXPLORER GOOK‘ APPROVES OF ALL WHITNEY SAID. “Everything in the Interview is Sub- stantially Correct.” New York, Sept. 28.—Dr. (‘Dok when own Mr. Whitney's statement made at St. John's today, said tonight. that he entirely approved of all that Mr. Whitney had said. “Everything in the interview is sub- stantially correct,” said Dr. Cook. “Tt copfirms all my declarations.” ‘With reference to the written in- structions given to Murphy, the boatswain, by Commander Peary, Dr. Cook said: “The written instructions handed to the illiterate Boatswain Murphy were worded very ambiguously, as Mr.Whit- ney affirms, but I will not comment on them now. Let Mr. Peary publish papers left with Mr. prr ‘Mr, Whitney flity unaware of the written records being left with him. They are of much consequence, as I have duplicates.

They had prom‘!ed me not to disclose what 1 had done.” “idea and PEARY'S MATERIAL READY FOR THE PEARY ARCTIC CLUB When Passed Upon by That Body It Will Be Made ~Public. Bar Harbor, Me,, Sept. 28.—The ma- terial which ' Commander Robert E. Peary will produce to support his con- tention that Dr. Frederick A. Cook did not reach the North pole, is now in completed form. As soon as it has been passed upon by the Peary Arctic club, it will be made nublic. General Hubbard, president of the club and Commander Peary concluded their confereénce on the subject today and the explorér probably will return ot his home in Fagle island tomorrow. Only Opening Guns in the Campaign. The papers. which are today to such an important part in the oo Peaty. controversy are to be on- ly the opening guns in the campaign Which Commander Peary will wage on Dr. Cook. . It is intimated that Com- nander P has yet othsr informa- tion ‘to ve_his contention, but he thinks it w{'ll be unnecessary to make it public at this time. Although there as \been no definite statement as to the exact date when the mroots win bo made known, it is announced that Gen. Hubbard is_planning to call a meet- 1hs. of the Peary Afetic club in New York next weék. What the Statefent Wil Conl-m. Commander Peary's forthcoming céntribution to the ~controversy is rather voluniinous, but has been pre pared with the ida that it should be Teadily " understogd by the Jay mind. Generxl Hubbard said tonight: “The statement has been prepared and will be. submitted to the club. I do not feel competent to say whethor the club will approve of it exactly in its pres ent form. There will be mo consider- able changes, however. Same expres- sions may be altéred in piraseology but thatiis all. Of €ourse. no one can take from or add to the facts, “The statement will simply contain facts in their proper order and will contain no arguments except as the haréd statement of the facts itself con- stitites an argument.” A Matter for the Pul to Judge. General Hubbard said that he would not pass any individual opinion on the question, but that the club would do that in a Bbody. glancing at Commander Peary, who smiled in an- swer, General Hubbard added: do not care to go on record as saying that the statemrent will prove that Dr. Cook did not reach the pole. That is a matter for the public to judge. 1 can say that Peary’s statement of facts are true.” ‘Whether Commander Peary will be able to attend the naval parade in the Hudson-Fulton celébration next Fri- day has not been-decided.

MILLIONS m'.mmu wm Ulrge Congress to Issue $10,000,- m Bonds to Complete Projects Al- ready Begun—At Seattle Exposi - Spokane, Wash., Sept. 28.—President Taft udny delivered. in Spokane his anticipatéd speech on the conservation of natural resources and outlined the policy of his administration on this subject. Mr. Taft broadly took the stand that while the ‘ present admiinistration is pledged to follow out the policles of Mr. . Roosevélt, such & does not involve him in any obligation to carry out these policies without congression- al authorization. The president added, “however,- that he would take every step and exert every influence on congress to have it enact legislation . which ‘would best subserve the purposes and require- ments of the situation. President Taft created much enthus. iasm - when he announced that he would urge on congress the necessity of ‘authorizing the secretary of the interior to issue $10,000,000 bonds for the completion of irrigation projects, on which work is suspended because of lack of funds and failure of the projectors ta, observe the limitations of the reclamation. act. Hardships' have been worked on many settlers through the suspension of work, and Senator Borah of Idaho, and other western senators and rep- resentatives have urged upon the pres- ident that a bond lssue was the only way in which fustice could be done. Mr. Taft declared that congress did not intend that the government should undertake projects which could not be currently paid for out of the proceeds of the sales of public lands, but added that he had been impressed during his visit to the west with the necessity for immediate relief. Gives Credit to Pinchot and Ballinger. It was in Spokane that the naitona irrigation congress recentlv. met and the. Ballinger and Pinchot controversy arose. This controversy was fostered by the friends and adherents of the two officers, but not by the officers themselxes. esident Taft today gave credit to both Mr. Pinchot and 'to Mr. Ballin- ger. He referred to the wonder work of Mr. Pinchot, and safd that while that- work had brought denunciation at first, it was now generally realized #hat the reforms begun by Mr. Pin- ichot were not only - necessary, but ‘should have beén begun ten years ago. The president defended the re-open ing of lands by the presest adminis- traction ‘as a cmmzmnfn‘wflh exist- ing/laws and declared that Mr. Ball- inger’'s views were In strict accordance with those of the administration. AH-Game Dinner. In addition to making ome of the seven or eight important utterances he set out to make on his trip, Mr. Taft today had some new western experi- ences. He breakfasted as the guest of the citizens, enjoyed an automobile ride of more than an hour about Spokane, made a brief address to a Grand Ar my veterans' and school children gathering, reviewed & military and civic parade, lunched with the cham- her of commerce, had a motor and trolley ride nito Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where he made a brief address, -vis- ited Hayden lake, Tdaho. and ate an all-game dinner at Bozantd inn, across the Idaho line.
