Dr. Frederick A. Cook. arrived in New York on Thursday on the steam shlp George Washington as calmly s if there bad never been a North Pole controversy. He looked well and said lttle; In tact a typewritten interview banded the reporters em braced an that be had to say witn the ecepdon of the necessity to-mal ttles of conversation thrust upon him by intervlewer. Of far more dramatic Interest was a headed controversy among the teammship passengers concerning the Impression he had inade upon them The -doctor stil asserts that he be lieves be was at the pole. Dr. Cook in his statement referred to the fact that be was In the United tates* less than a month ao. "I arrived in Quebec on October 29. went to Troy. N. Y.. then to Newburgh and Poughkeepsie." said be. "I was In the two last named cities about three weeks. writing. re Ising and correcting proofs of m! story. I registered under an assum ed name because I was very busy too busy to receive my personal friends or newspaper men. No oth er precantions were taken to kee; my presence concealed." Dr. Caad said he didn't know wha: his 'pans for the future will be; that he had no plans whatever for going on the lecture platform. " have come back solely for the purpose of rha btating myself and my family by setting matters rlh I with my countrymen.- he declared The argument -among the George Washington's passenger arose wher the doctor's symthftes aboard wished ft unde stoothat be was rt calved with no shadow of discrImIna tica by the other passengers. His enemies wished it made clear that he had been shunned. The minute th men who had gone down the harbor on the revenue cutter stepped into the saloon. representatives of both sides descended on them. Persons - who 2n ordinary circumstnces dodge pUlcity as they would the plague. Mirly button-holed the reporters in their eagermnes to present their case Wh!!e the dispute In the ladies' %a on Moled, more temperate minded pasenger elsewhere found time to tenl without heat about the doctor's trip- He came aboard at Bremen. they said wearing a funl beard, but had it shaved oet the next day.

Once when the tnoats were going around before bedtime and it came his turn to name a health, he was quick to propose the "Stars and Stripes," a toast that none could re Another time when a passenger who had not remarked to him before asked brusquely: "Are you Dr .Cook?" He answered "My name is *Cook." "'Are you the Dr. Cook who went to the North Pole?" persisted the questioner. - -' "I have been there." asserted the doctor gracely. The typewritten interview with the doctor did not satisfy the reporters. They plied him with questions. but almost aid of them he parried. ~You have written this, doctor: AMfter mature thought. I confess that I do not know absolutely whether I reached the pole or not.' Do you be lieve that you did?" -"I sti believe it" "Does your uncertainty at all ex tend to your ascent of Mt.

Last year they bought up the bulk :>f the hogs at from 6 to 7.30. then raised the price of meat and the price y hogs to 10.35. But notice the bulk at the hogs were already cornered by :he packers. through their agents. rhat was the trick. They then un loaded packers' meat several years :>ad at the high pri(es. A great many people betieved that the farmers were iLne cause of the costly meat, because :f the high priced hogs. Why. bless rour life, the farmer didn't have a thIng to do with it. He don't ftx the rice on anything. The packers pr!ce e ho;. and meat hoth. and that's what they are up to acnin. Did you everkknow the gamblers to do any thing else but flx prices? They fix them both ways. 7t's another dollar on the price of a hat. And a cent on a pound of tea: A:,d a dIme on this and a dIme on that. To be paid by you and me. But It oughtn't to make us rage.

Yes. that's the game. It's been played 40 years. Made the people believe--when there was a good crop --that there was too much, and riht straight farmers went to dump ig everything on the farm for sale. and often us farmers didn't get the cost of production. But that's the game. The price is fixed down when the farmers are selling and up whe'n consumers are buying. Ton let mue fix the price when I buy and again when I sell, and I'll fx myself blamed quick, but It will be hard on the fellow that deals wizth me. There's. not a business on earth that can live and let the buyer fix the price, no matter how bist of how strong.,it would be but a question of time until it would go broke. Even Rockfeller. with his mIllIons, rouldn't stand it, if he let the buyers lix the price on his oil. A system with the power to price is u hat saves the business.
