TIE ONLY ONE. SAYS PEARY. De'.ares He Can Refute Cook's Claims.- Himself Sole Dis coverer. zattle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. 14. (via Wireless to Cape Ray, N. F.) "I am the only white man who has eve: reached the North Pole. and I ar prepared to prove it.' This state ment was made to the representative of the Associated Press by Command er Robert E. Peary in reply to a ques ion on the Peary-Cook controversy. The Associated Press tug Douglas Th:mas. after a stormy passage up the west coast of Newfoundland and through the strait of Belle Isle from Sy.ney. arrived at this lonely coaling set.:ement at noon yesterday. A squall of rai. was sweeping over the harbor as :he Thomas steamed in, but with gla,ses it was possible to make out the mas and hull of the Arctic steamer Rocsevelt moored in the inner bay. The Thomas broke out -the "North Pole" flag, the same emblem that was flying from the mizzenmast of the Roosevelt. and signaled, "The Asso ciated Press congratulates you." The Roosevelt then signaled the thanks of Commander Peary for this message, wbereupon the Thomas gave three loud blasts on her whisttle. In re sponse there came from the Roosevelt a c:orus of barking and yelping from the Eskimo dogs on board that echoed back from the surrounding hills. The Roosevelt looked little the worse for her second trip to the pola: regions. The redoubtable Capt. Rob ent Bartlett invited the Thomas to lay alongside and the correspondent t3 core on board without Oelay. As to Cook's Claim. THe corerspondent was taken at onee to Commander Peary's .eabin and began questioning t;be explorer re garding the merits of Dr. Frederick A. Crook's claim to reach the po:e. The commander declared positively that he would not further discuss this subject until the main point. whetLer Dr. Cook had actually reached .he North Pole or not, had been decided by it:ers. He then dictated the fol lowing tatement to the Associated l'ress for publica:ion. I an tie only white inan who has. eve1 reached the North Pole. and I am pJrepar'ed to prov'e it at the prop er ;ime. I have "already sta ted publicly tha:. Cook has not been to the pole. This I reamfrm and I will sitrad by it, but J. derline to discuss tile details of the :natter. This will conme out later. I jave said thait D)r. Cook's sta:iment thlat he had reached the poie should not be taken seriously. andU that 'I have him nailed' by con cre:e pr'ofs to support my statemfenIt. Will Say Mcre Later. In six months you probably will get :he whole story. It would not be polic~y for,.me to enter upon01 a full dle -bate wiith:et subject as it now sta:nds. To do so I would be,giving out much iformation of which other uses could b)e made. I intend to wait until Dr. Cook has is.sued his full au thorized statements. Up to the pres ent tme there have ,been only nwspa per accounts of Dr. Cook's alleged po Jar trip, and these may or may not be accurate. When Dr. Cook has time to :ssue a complete authorized ver sion of his journey will be t;he proper opp>rtunity for me to make public the information which I have. After tha: the jury-iu other words the peo ple anzi the scientific bodies of the world-will pass judgment on the matter and there will then be nothing left of Dr'. Cook's c'ase but his own assertions tiat he has reached the ra-~h Pole. In the meanwhile it is my determination not to deal with debates for the reasons already Merely Shrugs Shoulders. Ommander Peary was the~n asekd if new land could have been disco" erecd in latitude 84 longitude 86. In rept1 ly 5e hruggedl his shoulders and sa:i it was qui: e possible that an uni known cunti:nent existed further west. He referried to thje land discovered by himself oin pr'evio'us trips that had .not y:ben explored. Asked what would ,be the interna tional effect of planting the Stars and Stripes at the North Pole, Command e9 Peary said he had notified the seeretary of state that he had ta ken possession of the pole in the n-ame of the Uriited States and that it remained for the seeretary to de eide wI;at t'hat meanit. He said he had left records on the ice at tihe C ommander Peary is done with active exploring. He will continue to tak.e an interest in Arctic and Ant are:-ie explorations. bu,t from his home, and he declared that he would withdraw from field work. Feels Marvin's Death. .x>mmander Peary spoke feelingly of the death of Prof. Marvin of Cor ie:l university. who, at the head of one of t:e supporting parties. broke tho ugh a lead of thin ice ou :he re turn trip. The body was not recov eed.: and his personal effects were bhrid in the ice. Scross. Wr. isnm,H n lege :n' lh i..e his at. wa s erected at Cape Sheridan just above the Roosevelt's winter position and visi,ble for miles. This is 73 miles from t:je point north of Cape Colum bia where he was drowned. The health of the party in general was good. according to the statement of Dr. John Goodsell. the surgeon of the expedition. Two Eskimo children were born and are still living. There was an absence of scurvy, due chiefly to -the experience of the commander in the selection of food and supplies necessary for the health and care of the party. DEVELOPMENTS FAVOR BOTH COOK AND PEARY. New York, Sept. 14.-Developments in the North Pole controversy to-day contained arguments in favor of both Commander Peary and Dr. tCook. The oft-repeated charge that Peary made use of Cook's stores is denied by Her bert L. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arctic club, with plausible ground for refutation. On the other hand, the supporters of the Brooklyn physician have been quick to seize upon the intelligence that only one Eskimo stood by the naval officer's side when he raised the American flag at the extreme top of the earth. 1 The backers of Commander Peary point out that while Allen Whitten the boatswain of the Peary auxiliary steamer Erick, in 1905 and 1908 de clares that. Peary's people took Dr. Cook's stores at Etah and Annotok. He admits that he did not know whether"or not the removal was by ar rangement with Rudolph Franeke. Cook's steward, who has been in dharge of the supplies. Herbert L. Br.idgman's statement, wired from Sydney. N. S., where he is awaiting the arrival of Peary on -the Roosevelt, asserts that instead of appropriating lhis rival's stores. Peary only "saved'' them after they had been abandoned by Francke. Mr. Bridgman says that Franeke was pick ed up by Peary 's men at North Star bay. between Cape York and Etah. while lie was try-ing to retturn to civi lization troi the spot wlere Cook had left him. Franckel. says Mr. Briignii. said he was physically un iit to remain longer in the extreme north and after Pea ry's surgeon had contirmled this Slat ement. Franeke was givell monley by Peary to take him home. The attitutde of ( o'ok' supporters one Eskimo to contirmn his statement regarding the :6 hours speuit at the pole is exp)ressed by Frederick D)elen baugh. an exp.lorer and oflieer of the American Gieographical1 society. Mr. Dlenbaugh is (quoted to-day as fol lows: "'It would now seem that tihe pre ponderance of Eskium evidence is in1 favor of Dr. Cook. There evidently ws no scientist present in either ase to verify tile observations. Per hap,s two Eskimos are better thain one (Dr. Cook says two Eskimos were with him at the pole) but I do not know that ii makes any great differ ene." RHEUMATIC FOLKS. Are You -Sure Your Kidneys Are Well?I Many rheumatic attacks are due to uric acid in the blood. But the duty of the kidneys is to remove all uric acid from .the blood. Its presenceI there shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't dally with "uric acid sol vents.' You might go on till dooms day with them, but until you cure the kineys you will never get well. Doan 's Kidney Pills no.t only remove uric acid. but 'eure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid is end ed. Here is Newberry testimony to prove it. Mrs. M. Q. Chappell.. 929 Fair St., Newberr;.. S. A'., says: "I suffer.-d from r'heumatisIn anld kidney trouble for several-years. There was m1uch pain in the small of my bacek, I lYad frequent, dull headaches and fMt generally miserable. My kidaeys wee weak and caused me added an noance.
