- DR. COO red by Board GUIDES AFFIDAVIT A FALSEHOOD Dr. Cook Declares He will Substantiate Every (laim He Has Made—“The Confidence You Repose in Me Is ‘Not Misplaced”—May Take Legal Action in the Ear- rill Matter—How the Affidavit was Obtained. New York, Oct. 16.—Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn, came back to New York as calm and smiling as ever, received the freedom of the city conferred by the board of aldermen, branded as a lie the affidavit of Bd- | ward N. Barrfll, the guide who says | he did not attain the summit of Mt. McKinley, and, finally, to erown the day, fired the shot which started a | twenty-four-hour automobile race at Brighton beach. Another Lecture Tour in West. He will remain in New York until Sunday night, when he will start for the west on another lecture tour. In the x'eantime he will confer- with counsid over the. advisability of bring- ing action against Barrill for alleged perjury, and he may issue a detailed afidavit in reply to the guide. Presented a Gold Medal. The conferring of the freedom of the city upon the explorer was a formal affalr, conducted jointly by the board of aldermen and ~ the Arctic ciub of America. 'The club presented to him & gold medal in recognition of his dis- covery of the pole. while the aldar- men took the ‘oceasion to recognize him officially for the first time since his arrival on home shores. George Borup and Prof. Donald B. McMillan of the Peary expedition, were among the interested spectators of the cere- mony. Before the honor was bestowed, President McGowan of the board an- nounced that “I deem it fair to Dr. 00k to say here that he wanted this action by the board of aldermen post- poned until after ‘all his proofs had been produced. but we declined be- cause it was believed that the senti- ment of the board was belief in Dr. Cook, and I believe the city of New York believes in him.” This. statement was with cheers. Dr. Caok's Spesch. In his speceh, Dr. Cook said in part: “This is the proudest moment of my life, and to feel that you have confidence in me, in the face of the unfoupded statement and against the falee affdavit, published during the 1ak few days creates a fecling of pride in me that my countrymen be- lieve my word. “f will substantiate every claim I have made with every proof within the power of man.

Their presence us a proof conquest will not e necessary Has Lofg Talk With His Lawyer. After the ceremdny at the city hall. Dr. Cook had a long talk with ‘his Jawyer, Henry Wellington Wack of New York. concerning Barill's affida- vit. He afterwards intimated that he had not vet decided to take legal tion in the- matfer. Can Produce Original Diary. “1 am perfectly willing to go before the Explorers' club and give my tes- v as to the ascent of Mt. McKin- said Dr. Cook, tonight. “In fact, ve already consented to do s0. He was asked whether he could pro- duce the original diary of the climb. “I will look into the matter and see whether 1 still have my original dia- ries” he replied, I believe they are somewhere, and § will produce them if 1 can find them.” Barrill Lied His Affidavit. Dr. Cook reiterated his charge that Barrill lied in his afdavit. “The dec- laration that the point where the pho- tograph with the flag was taken was far from the top of Mt. McKinley is a falsehood,” he said. -“It was taken at the summit. His statement that I told him net to tell anyone @hout the trip 1s also baseless. There Wwas no se- cret whatever about_it. Miller Always Hostile. “As to Miller, he has been hostile to me from beginning to end. I have no reason to say I have found him un- truthful, bute he. knew nothing about the climbing of Meunt McKinley, as he was sixty or seventy miles away at the time.” How the Guide's Affidavit Was Ob- tained. Details of how Barriil's afidavit w obtained became avallable here toda The guide came-here quietly two days ago and informed Gens Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic elub, that everything in the affidavit was true, and, after talking with mem- bers of the Explorers' club, departed with his wife, presumably for the wes! ‘While in the city Barrill talked with Gen. J. M. Ashton of Tacoma, who ob- tained Barrill's affidavit, with the affi- davits from Fred Printz, a packer on the Mount McKinley expedition; San uel Beecher, the cook, and Walter Mi ler, the photographer, all members of the Cook party. General Ashton, speaking of the snanner in which the Barrill affidavit was obtained, said: "I received word from General Hubbard to ascertain the exact truth concerning Dr. Cooks elimb of Mount McKinley and had not the remotest idea what side I was on or would be on. “[ gent Miller to Barrill and other members of the expedition and had them brought to Tacoma. They were all carefully examined, ~Barrill spoke openly and squarely.from the start. “Barrill said that' the doctor was a good fellow and. that, he rill) had not given the Mount McKinley matter & thought until the north pole question came up. The gulde sald to me: “Th T talked it over.with my wife afier you sent for me and we reached the con clusion that it was my- duty 1o sive the world the’ truth.”” Other Affidavits to Be Produced. General Ashion said thet there were wother affidavits, the originale of which, he understood, were all to be turmed over to the committee of the Fxplore club which is invesfigating Dr. Cook’s “eascent of Mount McKinley. as well as 0 other authorized organizations which e éndeavoring to ascertain the truth it the pole and Mount McKiniey.

Hartford, Ark, Oct. 15.—James A. Bolen, a coal mining operator, well known in the southwest, who says he has hunted with the companions who made the Mount McKinley -trip with Dr. Frederick A. Cook, is-credited with declaring here today that he did not believe that Barrill had ~signed the Mount McKinley affidavit credited to him in the story sent out from New York yesterday. /- Mr. ‘Bolen is president of the Bolen- Darnell Coal company of McAlester, Okla., and was in Hartford today on business.. He formerly lived in Kan- sas City. . When Dr. Cook lectured at Kansas City on Oct. 7 Mr. Bolen talked with the explorer concerning a story of the Mount McKinley. trip that had been re- lated to him by Dr. Cook’s guides, Bar- rill and Fred Prince.

Until I see the pictures which Cook has of thesc two guides, and can verify their signa- tures, 1 will not believe that Barrill signed that aMdavit denying they reached the summit. “Until T examine that correspondence 1 can only talk from memory. I asso- ciated with Prince and Barrill in 1905 and corresponded afterwards. My rec- ollection is that these letters told of the attempt to scale Mount McKinley in 1904, which failed two thousand feet rom the summit. The letters describe e successful ascent in 1906 and state positively that they did reach the sum- mit and that Barrill claimed to have reachied the summit a few feet ahead of Cook. “Fred Prince was attache of the fed- that surveyed the line between Montana and Idaho and was. recommended by officials of that party €0 COOK, a8 & guide.” cwms = DOCTOR COOK IS BEING PURSUED BY ENEMIES. How Danish %cientis! Regard the Guide’ Copenhagen, Oct. 15.—The afdavit of Edward N. Barrill denying that Dr. Frederick A. Cook reached the summit of Mount McKinley and what is qon- sidered here as a vague reply to the affidavit by Dr. Cook are believed to have weakened somewhat the Ameri- can explorer's position that he ascend- ed the mountain to its apex Public opinion, however, still favors his claim that he reached the north pole. The newspapers are reticent on the subject but the authorities and the explorers continue their belief in Dr. Cook. Professor_Torp, rector of the “Uni- versity of Copenhagen, said in an in- terview today: “I cannot give¥the particulars re- garding the Mount McKinley story, but it is clear that Dr. C8ok Is being pur- sued by enemies. There is no reason for me to change my mind because the stories are printed. It is impossible to check them. Nevertheless we cannot understand why Dr. Cook cannot send us the obseryittions he made at the nertk pole before two months.” Capt. Otto Sverdrup, the Arctic ex- plorer, also thought that tie aenial of Dr. Cook’s conquest of Mount McKin- ley was due to his enemics. The im- | patience ,over Dr, Cook § submission of his poJdr recl Captain Sverdrup sajd. Was unreg#®nable, because he thought Dr. Cook was too busy lectur - ing in the United States to arrange to send his observations. Commander Hovgaard, also an Arc- tic_explorer of note, sald: “i have not changed my mind about Dr. Csok. I know nothing about Mount McKinley, but I think he can prove that he reached the pole.” “Professor Torp Informed the Asso- ciated . Press that the University of Copenhagen would not appoint a com- mittee to investigate Dr. Cook's north pole data until the records .arrive in Copenhagen. It is considered likely, however, that Professor Stromgren, the Scandinavian astronomer, will head the committee, which also will include sev- eral explorers and .representatives of the meteorological offices. nd Explorers Story.

L _ Both men calmly ands with firm volces pleated not guilty, but no evidence was intro- duced in ' the nolice court and they were held without bail for a hearing ten days bence. The autopsy on the portions of the body thus far found resulted in a report by the medical examiner that there were evidences that an illegal operation had been at- tempted, and the Fall River police al- || lege that Thibeault and Hill had been consulted concerning an operation by Amelia St. Jean, a young wogaen who dinappeared from inis cltPun week ag Both the Fall River and the Tiverton police tonight express con- fidence that the Tiverton victim was the St. Jean girl, but they admitted that they had no more evidence upon which to base this opinion than they had last njght. Apparently the strongest on for thinking Miss St. Jean was. tl victim is the identifica- tion of a bundle of clothing bearing what may be bloodstains, which were found in” Mount Hope bay vesterday, as clothing borrowed by Miss St. Jean on Friday last from her aunt, Mrs. Eva Lemerieux of this city, and worn by her when she last seen. The girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John St. Jean, were unable to identify the portions of the body im the custody of the medical examiner at Tiverton when they made a trip. over there today, but it was the general belief of those interested in the case that, identification would be diffi impossible In any case, w missing.
