New York, Special.?Cheered by a rr
thousand men and women as he en- n
tered the banquet hn.ll on the arm of n
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley b
(retired), I)r. Frederick A. Cook t?>hl T
his story Thursday night before the fi
must oruiiant audience mat lie lias j o
addressed since he left the court of | a
Denmark. t]
While there was no official representative
from either State or nation, v
the assemblage was cos:no]H)litan and o
enthusiastic. Crowded in the great
ball room of the Waldorf-Astoria e
they toasted the Brooklyn explorer 0
and listened attentively to his recital u
in the form of an after-dinner ad- (j
dress. t
Among those at the tables were ex- s
plorers, some of whom know the dan- *
gers and suffering of the Artie zone v
almost as well as I)r. Cook himself.
Men of science were there also, but t
the address was not technical. a
Commander Peary's name he did 1
not mention except at the end of his

"There is glory enough for all." t
After due greeting for the ovation
Dr. Cook said:
"The key to frigid endeavor is sub- *
sistence. There is nothing in the en- {
tire realm of the Artie, which is 5
impossible to man. If the animal fires <
are supplied with adequate fuel there '
is no cold too severe and no obstacle
too great to surmount. No important j
expedition has ever returned because !
of unscalable barriers or impossible
weather. The exhausted food supply '
from a limited means of transporta- j
tion has turned every aspirant from
his goal. In the ages of the Polar
quest much has been tried and much
has been learned.
Most Important Lesson. j

The problem belongs to mod- ,

simplified to fit the new environment. ,
"The effort of getting to the Pole <
-s not one of physical endurance, nor I
i it fair to call it bravery; but a 1
roper understanding of the needs of

with the accumulated lessons of

moment Commander Peary crossed
the international boundary line at
Vanceboro, shortly af *r 8 o'clock
Thursday morning, u; /1 he arrived
at Portland at 8 o'c/ock Thursday
night his reception by the citize/is
of Maine amounted to a continuous
ovation.
At Bangor important papers on his
expedition were turned over by Peary
to Oen. Thomas H. Hubbard, of New
Yoxk, president of the Peary Artie
Club.
Along the 350-mile route through
eastern Maine Commander Peary
was cordial and appreciative although
he appeared to be rather tired.
At Old Town, a city of about 6,000,
the first big demonstration on this
aide of the border was made. At I
Bangor the explorer was welcomed
by thousands and when he walked f

After meeting the charge that lie

he Pole by saying he preferred to

"Now, gentlemen, I appeal to you

To the criticism against his equip- 1
nent he explained that these should
>e simple and not burdensome and ?
hat he had sufficient supplies.
"Now as to the excitement of the 1
iress, to force things of their own
lickings from important records ino
print," said Dr. Cook. "In reply .
o this I have taken the stand that
[ have already given a tangible account
of our journey. It is as con*
jicic us me preliminary reports OI

observations, the record, are of ex- *
ictly the same character. Hereto- !

whereas, we agree to deliver all within

His Observations. 1
"Now, gentlemen, about the Pole, 1
We arrived April 21, 1908. We dis- 1
covered new land along the 102d 1
meridian between the 84th and the
Both parallel. Beyond this there waa
absolutely no life and no land. The
ice was in large, heavy fields with
few pressure lines. The drift was
south of east, the wind was south of !
west. The clear weather gave good,
regular observations nearly every
lay. These observations, combined
with those at the Pole on April 21
ind April 22 are sufficient to guarantee
our claim. When taken in connection
with the general record, you
lo not require this. I can see that,
nut this and all the other records
will come to you in the due coarse of 1
ivents.
"I cannot sit down without
icknowledging to you, and to the livng
Artie explorers, my debt of
rratitude for their valuable assistance. 1
rhe report of this Polar success has 1
ome with a sudden force, but in the
jresent enthusiasm we must not ferret

At Waterville he was officially wel:omed

jruard met him at the station where
1 stand had been erected. The school
;hildren, each carrying an American
lag, were banked solidly about the
stand, with the guardsmen around
hem. As Peary mounted the stand
he children cheered and waved their 1
lags. A crowd of several thousand

tome moments.
When Commander Peary stepped to
he front his fraternity mates of Col>y

PR COOK ARRIVES

of Joy and NatWe Pride.
New York, Special.?Dr. Frederick
V.. Cook arrived at an early hour
Tuesday morning and was met by
Irs. Cook and two daughters on a tug
>oat which came alongside and the
ero of the occasion stepped across
nd was soon embracing his loved
es.
No official representatives met him
iut Brooklyn's reception to him had
11 the elements of a riot except vioence.
From the moment the Grand
tepublic warped up to her landing
nd the explorer, flanked by militianen
and police, fought his way into
n automobile, until he left the Bushvick
Club Tuesday night for the
Voldorf-Astoria in New York, the
urging crowds taxed the capacity of
he police and more than once got out
?f control.
Along the five miles of avenues
hrough which the explorer pass(d,
the mounted police were couinunlly
fighting a way for Dr. Cook's
lutomobile, wlven they were not stemning
the massed thousands, who
seemed to have only one object?to
areak loose and embrace Dr. Cook.
As the Grand Republic steamed up

DR. COOK CONVINCES.
3ubmits to Cross-Fire by Newspaper
Men and Dissipates Doubts by Answering
Promptly and Clearly?
Shows His Diary.
A New York dispatch of Wednes3ay
says Dr. Cook, seeking rest and
seclusion with his family after the
looisterous welcome of Tuesday, denied
himself to interviewers and remained
in his suite at the Waldorf
Astoria until late Wednesday evening,
when he submitted cheerfully to one
of the severest cross-examinations
since he announced his discovery of
the North Pole. The ordeal of the inloi?lMOU'
i olt t*?no
? *vn, " uivu nao vwnwuv.icu uj iuity
newspaper representatives, including
several from foreign newspapers,
represented at least that he was not
afraid to meet the public. Incidentally
the city of New York officially
recognized his achievements when the
board of aldermen passed a resolution
commemorating his discovery and
providing for a public welcome at the
city hall. The date of the reception
will be announced later.
As the questions asked were put by
laymen they did not go deeply into
the scientific aspect of the expedition.
But Dr. Cook was ready to answer
anything pertinent to the issue.
The most interesting phases of the
interview was reached when Dr. Cook
was asked if he would object to showing
his diary. He immediately consented
and. after retiring to his room,
returned with a small octaco notebook
which he showed freely to all. It was
a thin book containing 176 pages, each
of which was filled with fifty or sixty
lines of penciled writings of the most
minute characters.
The book, he said, contained considerably
more than one hundred thousnn/1
ti'nrilc urlnla tin line Kncwloe nt lio*
books embracing his observations and
other data.
The itnerviewers were railier severe
in regard to details but nothing indicated
that the Polar traveler's memory
was at fault even in the most
minute particulars. Sometimes when
a petty question indicated ignorance
he smiled with good-humored sympathy
at the lack of technical knowledge
displayed.
PEARY'S RECORDS MISSING.
Discovery of the Loss of Records and
Important Manuscripts From the
Steamer Roosevelt Causes Change
of Plans, and the Steamer Drops
Anchor at North Sydney.
North Sydney, N. S., Special.?The
sailing of the Arctic steamer Roosevelt
was delayed Wednesday night
owing to the fact that the records and
other important manuscripts which
were taken from the steamer Tuesday
by souvenir hunters have not been recovered.
Shortly after 0 o'clock the
Roosevelt pulled out from her pier,
after taking on a full supply of coal
for the run to New York. A few
hundred yardB from the pier Cnptain
Rartlett dropped anchor.
Professor McMillan, who feels his
loss keenly, said later that he had re
ceived information to the effect that
some of the important papers had
been traced to the wife of a prominent
citizen.
The woman denied taking the articles
mentioned, although she admitted
having taken some things from
the Professor's room.
A Truro, N. S. dispatch of Wedneslay
says Commander Peary had no
further statement to make regarding
the Polar controversy while traveling
westward to his home in Eagle bay
'rom 8ydney. The explorer with his
pamily left Sydney early Wednesday
ind reached Truro in the night. Later
the Peary party departed for Portland.
Their trip to Troro occupied
mtire day and at the stations an
oute groups of people gathered to
lateh a glimpse of the explorer.

GULf COAST STORM
Wreck and Ruin in The Wake
of Equinoctial Tempest
WATER HIGHER THAN FOR YEARS
I Death List Runs to 38 With Probably
50 More in Isolated Districts?
Property Loss Will Ron Into
Millions.
Memphis, Special.?The Equinoctial
gale of Monday night was very
! severe.
So strong was the force of the wind
that the waters of the Mississippi,
backed up from the gulf a hundred
miles below, rose three feet at New
Orleans levee. The neighboring lake9
were agitatd till they all overflowed,
covering the adjacent lowlands. The
waters from Lake Borgone were added
to the volume of the flood, but
when the latest dispatches came out
of New Orleans there were outlying
parts of that city covered with water,
while the winds had damaged several
buildings.
The direction of the wind was
northwest and its area was great, for
it reached far up to the northernmost !
line of Louisiana, west of the Mississippi
river. An early blow destroyed
the tracks of the Louisville & Nashville
road along the coast west of
New Orelans and this latter gust
wiped out the tracks of the Illinois
Central north of the isolated city.
The last train to reach Memphis
from New Orleans was the through
Illinois Central that arrived here at
8:15 Monday night. It had left New
Orleans soon after 9:15 in the morning.
Coming north through Louisiana
and Mississippi the train passed
through continuous rains almost as
far as Jackson, Miss., but there were
then no reports of unusual winds. The
storm came up soon afterward.
An Atlanta special on Tuesday
says: Central Monday night in Mississippi
and sweeping north at the
rate of 200 miles a day, the hurricane
which left a trail of wreck and ruin
through four States, continued on its
course with unabated fury.
It was helieved that the total destruction
will equal that of four years
ago, when more than five million dollars'
worth of timber was felled.
From Jackson, Miss., dispatches
say: Two persons were killed here

which swept portions of Mississippi
Monday night as a result of the storm
falling walls. Hundreds of buildings
were unroofed in the city, fences carried
away and trees uprooted. The
east dome of the new Capitol building
was crushed in and a number of
upper rooms flooded.
The old Capitol building was unroofed,
several sections of the roofing
being carried hundreds of yards.
The stables at the fair grounds were
demolished and several of the exhibit
buildings badly damaged.
Along the coast the water frontage
was swept clear of piers and wharves
from Paseagoula bay to St. Louis,
and the damage to the cities and
towns in that section will nmount to
more than a half million dollars.
Of the ruin that it has wrought,
no one can give an estmate. In New
Orleans alone, five are known to be
dead and a million dollars will not
repair the damage done to the beautiful
Crescent City.
A New Orleans dispatch of Wednesday
says Gradually New Orleans
and the territory surrounding the
Crescent City is recovering from the
first effects of the tropical hurricane
which, starting Sunday, continued
throughout Monday and Monday
night. Thirty-eight human lives are
now positively known to have been
claimed as victims of the storm and
fifty others are reported to have been
lost in lov, ^r Terre Bonne parish, but
as yet this report has not been authenticated.
The number of deaths from stricken
points are as follows: Terre Bonne
parish, Ixmisiana: Definite 29; reported
40. New Orleans. Definite 5;
Frenier, La., definite 4; Desair, La.,
definite 3; Jackson, Miss., definite 2;
Baton Rouge, La., definite 1; Mandeville,
La., definite 1; Bay St. Louis.
Miss., definite 1; Graraercy, La., definite
1; Grand Point, La., reported 4;
tsarataria, La., reported 1;; Pass
Manebae, La., definite 8; total definite
56; reported 45.
The property loss will ran into the
millions. Miles and miles of territory
have been laid waste. Crops have
praetieally been ruined. Dwellings,
cotton gins and sugar mills have been
leveled. 1
New Orleans is still sadly crippled
in the way of railroad facilities and
telegraph and telephone communication
with the outside world.
From early Wednesday, the death
list in the lower portion of Terre
Bonne parish increased as details of
the hurricane'8 destruction were hourly
received, until at night it numbers
19. Thrilling tales of narrow escapes,
and daring rescues came from the
stormswept area.
Mark Hamilton, his wife and five
children were killed at East Brook,

over and then burned to the ground

PRESIDENTJAFT'S TOURl
Enthusiastic Thousands Greet Him
On His Western Trip.
Making hij way still further to the
west, President Taft arrived in Denver
Tuesday afternoon and at night
in the D ver auditorium where a
year ago Mr. Bryan was nominated
as his opponent in the presidential
race, faced a crowd that in its noisy
welcome and continuing enthusiasm
recalled some of the scenes of convention
week.
The President instead of discussing
the conservation of natural resources
took up the subject of the corporation
tar.
He strongly urged that all the
States should adopt the proposed
an>endment to the constitution, however.
to make an income tax possible
in time of need.
The President Tuesday night declared
that the corporation tax was in
itself the best form of income tax
that could be levied and pointed out
that it contained many of the best
features of the income tax law of
England.
Pueblo, Col., Special.?The President
landed across the Rocky Mountains
Thursday morning. For the
first time he traveled through the
grand canon of the Arkansas, where
at one place the half mile deep canon
is so narrow that there is not room
for the track and the river, and the
former has to be carried over the
rushing waters by means of a hanging
bridge, suspended by cables embeded
in the rocky walls of the
chasm. The eleven-mile ride through
the canon was made by moonlight.
i? ..t 1?i.:? .l
my imuuuuc U>UII^UMIIg ViiC
valley of the Garden of the Gods,
with the Rockies in the background
and dark clouds playing tag with
Pikes Peak, Mr. Taft expressed his
admiration of the view with unrestrained
enthusiasm.
At Pueblo the President was driven
at the head of a long procession of
automobiles to the State fair grounds
to face another exuberant throng
and to make a brief extemporaneou"
speech of appreciation.
In the pulpit of the famous Mormon
tabernacle in Salt Lake City where 4
years ago Theodore Roosevelt, then
President, preached a long sermon on
right living and the duties of good
i citizenship, President Taft Sunday
faced an audience which he said inspired
him to try to follow in the footsteps
of his predecessor.
The President's sermon was an appeal
for amity between the people for
attributing the best rather than the
worst motives to the action of others
when possible to do so and not to
harbor hatred or animosity.
<< A i it
sun answer lurnem away
wrath, but gre\ ious words stir up
anger," was the text Mr. Taft selected
from the book of Proverbs. The
sermon was largely made up of a relation
of stories to give emphasis to
the points.
From the tabernacle the President
was driven to review about twenty
thosand sctlool children. At one
point along the line a thousand or
more children had been arranged in a
living flag, red, white and blue caps
and capes serving to outline the national
emblem.
Thence the President proceeded to
the Young Men's Christian Asociation,
where he made a brief address
to men. Lastly the President attend*
ed services especially arranged foi
him at the Unitarian church. Aftei
this unusually busy Sunday morning
left Salt Lake City at noon for Ogden
where he enjoyed an 18-mile rid<
through Ogden canon and made hit
third address of the day at Lester
park.
