IWm Divided Into Two Cunips On
* the Question of His Heception.?
^ What He Says.
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, arrived In
New York ou Thursday on the steam- 1
ship George Washington as calmly !
ss if there had never been a North
Pole controversy. He looked well !
and said little; in fact a typewritten 1
interview i'uuded the reporters em- |
braced all 'v if he had to say witn
the exception ot the necessity formalities
of conversation thrust, upon him
I by interviewers
tOf far more oramutlc interest was '
-Leaded controversy among the i
eumship passengers concerning the
ipression he had mado upon them
The doctor still assertB that he believes
he was at the pole.
IDr. Cook In Ills statement referred
to the fart that ho was In the I'nited
States less than a month a^o.
"I arrived In Quebec on October
29, went to Troy, N. Y . then to
Newburgh and Poughkcpsle," said J
he. "I was in the two last named i
cities about three weeks, writing, re- j
vising and correcting proofs of irtj !
story. I registered under an assutn- |
ed name because 1 wag very busy
too busy to receive my personal
friends or newspaper men. No oth I
er precautions were taken to keep
m\ presence concealed."
Dr. Caad said he didn't know what
his plans for the future will be:
that he had no plans whatever l'or i
^ gome on the lecture platform
"I have come back solely for the;
purpose of rehabilitating myself and
my family by sotting matters rinht
?with my countrymen." he declared, j
The argument among the rtcorge'
Washington's passengers arose when
the doctor's sympathizers aboard
wished it understood th it he was received
with 110 shadow of disrlminaHon
by the other passengers. Ills,
? enemies wished it mad ? clear that ho
^Ihail been shunted. The minute the

passengers elsewhere fnnnil titn? tr,
tell without heat about the doctor's
trip. lie cauie aboard at Bremen,!
they said, wearing a f:' 11 beard, but
had It shaved ofl the next day. He
waa an unostentatious passenger,
playing cards of an evening witu a
few friends and neither S'-eklng nor,
avoiding attention.
Once when the toasts were going ;
around before bedtime and it came
his turn to name a hea'th, he was
quick to propose the 'Stars and i
8trlpes," u toast that none could refuse.
i
Another time when a passenger
who hud not remarked to him before
asked brusquely: "Are you Dr
Cook?" Ho answered, "My name is
Cook." i
"Are you the Dr. Cook who went 1
to tho No-th Pole?" persisted the
questioner. ]
"I have been there." asserted the i <
doctor gracely. i
The typewritten Interview with the J 1
doctor did not satisfy the reporters j 1
They plied him with questions, but j I
almost all of them he parried. j 1
"You have written this, doctor: j i
'After mature thought, 1 confess that '
I do not know absolutely whether 1 j
reached the pole or not.' Do you be- jc
Hove that you did?" '*
"1 still believe It." , <
"Does your uncertainty at all ex- >?

"Not in^H^least, I shall have a '
reply to make 7f>'Prof, Herschel C.
Parker's latest attack oil my ascent '
of Mount McKlnley In a 'ew days M'
probably next Monday.
"Did you still believe In your records
when you sent them to the Uni- i <H
versify of Copenhagen?"
"Ob, certainly." 1 I
"Then why did you call Oapt. An- ' !
gn"* W. Loos to aid you In compli- 1 I
lng ' hem ?"
"That will be answered In fhe , 1
next installment." il I
"Yet you accept the verdict of A 1 I
university?" I
"Yes, I think we have accepted
that."
"And you believe that Peary got to <1
i the pole?" j<I
I "I have never questioned It."
From the steamer Dr. Cook went
direct to the Waldorf-Astoria, whe.e i
he stayed before, on his welcome J
from Copenhagen. j *

FAKIRS ARfc CAUGHT
^ > ?
CLAIMS TO UK AM KRI CAN CHRISTIANS
I*'COM T1 KKKY.
Were Soliciting Fue ls to Build '
I,
Churches and Orphanages Over 'J
Greece or Itulgurlm.
Several times In tUt last fev years ,
able-bodied men, c ilmln' to be j
American Christians ' ?ve solicited
funds from th?? ' ???ie of this city to
!> " u.i.uM in place of those destroyed
by the Turka, or orphanages
to accomodate the children of Christians
murdered by the Turks. They
generally traveled In pairs dressed lu
the garb of ministers of the gospel, |
and raised considerable money. As
will be seen by th<< articles that follows
below that these fellows are fa- '
kirs, and deserve no help or pity: <
The discovery that four Turks who j !
passed through Atlanta last week I
begging for money with which to
build an orphanage at Ninevah, 1
were frauds, has led to the further |1
discovery that other fakirs of this
sorf are operating in various parts
of the country. Three have been arrested
in Macon on warrants sworn <
out by Joe Logan, of the Associated I
Charities, two of whom have been 1
carried to Atlanta. I
These three, however, are said
not to be 'he four men who begged
in Atlanta. Very probably, though. ' i
all are members of the same band. J
Skillful impostors of tlielr sort,
working in harmony and in all likeli-,
hood directed by one leader, are car- .
rving on th? ir humbuggory in a nun.
ber of places.
Several times before fakirs of t'ais
description have pastied through At- |'
lanta, begging for some charitable
endeavor and taking away witn them
considerable sums. Such swindling
schemes nave, indeed at times,
reached national extent.
Two of the men arrested at Macon
give their names as Deacon MiekuoI
Joseph and Archdeacon Johan
Benin, both members of the Chaldean
church. The third man is Thus.
Antoin. I
ORicer Jordan, one of the policeman
at Ma on who arrested the three
Armenians, say he believes that I <
somewhere they have committed at
more serious crime, lie thinks this;
because the moment the men were!
arrested though they had been charged
with no vio'ent crime, they began i
to proterl in their broken Knglish j
that they had not killed "the man."
They s< enied to know of some one
having been murdered and ouch to he
unxioes to convince the officers that
he was innocent of the crime.
The two men who have been
brought, to Atlanta admit that they
are cheats and that they have no intention
of building an orphanage in
MesopiKam'a.
The fraud that the hand of Aomin
jus is perpetrating w is brought
to light through a story publish! d in
The j Mirnal. The four of them who
we e in Atlanta were seen by a reporter
as they were begging from ortico
to olllce in the post otlice
house building. They told a guileless
tale of liow they had tramped j'
10.000 miles from a place they nam-I
ea as Motnh Golouw, in Syria, how
they had crossed Europe, traversed
Great Rritian and been in practically
every state in the United States.
They had collected $2..">00 and need
ed only 12,500 more They save
their names us Rev. Showell Chirkin
th and Rev. Marcus George, and
Deacons George Purgeow and Nathanial
Daniel. Among tlieir credentials
was a letter of indorsement
from Bishop Nelson.
Prof. Isaac M. Yonan, a native
Persian, who is a professor of theol3gy
in Urma college, saw the story
ind recognized the men as frauds.
Professor Yonan was visiting ("apt.
R. M. Clayton. From Bishop Nelson
:ie learned that a collection for the]
Tour men was to be taken the next ]
Sunday at St. Phillip's cathedrai.il
The rector was warned and an effort |'
was made to arrest the Turks. Be- '
:oming alarmed, however, they slipped
nut of Atlanta. The police at all
Mtles in Georgia and other south rn i
:itiea were notified of the fakirs and I
he two now in jail in Atlanta ami
the third, who will soon he on his!
way there, were arrested in Macon.

Vote Selling in Ohio.
The revelation now being made in :
\tlan.s County, Ohio, in reference to j
vote buying and vote selling, indi- I
ates how tlie Republican party with I

pet rate its po > "r. A in ore appalling
|)ictnro of corruption anions: the Man's

Itlair. who >t..iiel the investigation,
in a eliarge to the (Irani! Jury said
tnat the purchasable vote of . no

prices for which each could lnhought
were four. 1 in four-fifths of
the poling-pl ? of the county and
were used by both parties.
From the testimony before the
court it seems that the election authorities
openly participated in the
purchase and sale of votes. Farmers
have teen known publicly to auction
r>ff their votes to the highest bidder
without causing comment, let alone
arrest. Conditions prevailin: in Adams
County are said to exist in n.-mtv
of other counties In Ohio. It is
the county districts that are especially
under suspic ion, and the same
circumstance is generally to be observed?where
there Is the least organized
vigilance and publicity in
elections. fraud and corruption are
most likely to flourish.
These Ohio farmers who confess
to selling their vote are well-to-do,
substantial citizens, who seem to
think it no harm to turn an honest
penny by selling votes to those who
will pay the most for them. Such
men have no true conception of what
citizenship really means, and they
should not be allowed to vote. We
would be sorry for the fellow who attempted
to buy the votes of our farmers
on election day. He would be
taught a lesson he would not soon
forget. nut It is different in Ohio.

VERY SAD CASE i
A Young Ho.band K lied While Aslup
bj His Yonng Insans Wife'
STRUCK HIM WITH AXE
While Mentally Unbalanced Mrs. 1).
B. Hamilton Deals Fatal Itlow to
Her Husbau<l, K. A. Hamilton, at
Their Home Four Miles From the
City of Laurens.
A special dispatch from Laurens
to The News and Courier tells of an
awful tragedy that took place roui
miles from that cit> on Wednesday
night. As he pea< efully slept. E. A
Hamilton, one of the county's lea-ling
farmers was killed in It is room
hy his wife, Mrs. I>ella ltrown Hamilton,
at their hotm four miles southeast
of the cilv.
The deed was committed bv M:.
Hamilton while in a tit <<t mental aberration,
from whi h she iias periodically
suffered for several years, having
during ihe past year spent some
inte at a sanitarium. In In r deadly
work Mrs. Hamilton used a small
hand axe, and apparently one terrific
blow crushed her sleeping husband's
head, causing instant death. With
he exception or the.r infant child no
other persons were :n th> room.
Mrs. Hamilton arose about ll
o'clock and must have gone outside,
where she procured an ax?. She t turned
to the room nd struck la r
sb-eping husband .1 fearful blow in
the head with the dull end of the
?xe. knocking a deep hole in his
skull and splattering blood over the.
walls. Another large wound was
made in the neck as if she had oht
li 111 with the sliaip end of the nxe.
His entire ^iead was mutilated.
Heath was immediate.
Taking her youngest child, about
six months old, she than wont to one
of the nearby negro cabins and told
what she nad done. The alarm was
given after Mrs. Hamilton had taken
her baby and gone out to the colored
cook's house. At 1 o'clock the sheriff
was notified. Meanwhile neighbors
and relatives hurried to the scene
and found Mrs. II. tnllton in 1 terrible
state. One of * he \egioes went
for help, and soon Mr. Herly Itlakely,
her brother-in-law, arrived anil
found Mrs. Hamilton lving across a
bed. When he approached she
sprang up and struggled violently to
get away from him.
In trying to make her escape from
the premises she is said to have
dragged her brother-in-law several
m i.inii ill ii'fi ueiore ueconmig oxhnusted.
after which she cainicd anu
talked about the tragedy, at times
e\pressing sorrow and again saying
it was all for the hot. Subsequently
Mrs. Hamilton was placed in a room
and locked up until early Thursday
morning, when she was brought to
the county jail, and there kept until
2 o'cloc k Thursday afternoon, win n
she was carried to the State Hospital
for the Insane at Columbia.
This sad occurence is the one topic
of conversation on the streets and
everywhere uciversa! sorrow is expressed
at the pathetic case. Mr.
Hamilton was in the city only Wednesday,
and was in a very bouyant
frame of mind. The past season had
been a very successful one with him,
he having sold at one time, alone,
over seventy-five bales of cotton and
out of the year's crop had gathered
between two and three hundred
bales. He was prosperous and among
the most substantial citizens of the
county, being highly esteemed for
his many sterling qualities.
There were no domestic troubles
in the family and the deed was the
outcome of actions resulting from an
unbalanced mind. Mrs. Hamilton
has been in a feeble state of mind
for some time and herself realized it,
for recently she had requested that
all weapons and dangerous instruments
be removed from her reach to
prevent her getting hold of them in
case the feared lit of insanity should
come. However, as it was uot
thought that her condition warranted
such steps, no precautions were
taken.
The case is pet nliarly sad, surrounded
as thev w -re with a lar.te
and happy family rid hundreds of
acres of productive a,mine land.
They had six little children, the oldest
of whim is abo r thirteen years
of age and the youngest about sir
months old. While ample means
are left for their apport. they musi
miss the care and attention of a
mother and father.
