When End Came of SENSATIONAL Copenhagen— The Politiken publishes a remarkable letter giving Dr Frederick A Cook’s version of the tromble with Commander Peary over The letter was written by supplies Dr Norman Hansen a prominent Danish physician who several times visited Greenland to study eye diseases “Now that Dr Cook has gone" he writes “I am no longer under an obligations to keep silent and will exercise my right to publish the story about the house in Annatook a story which Dr Cook himself had too much delicacy to relate to the world 1 write it from memory as Dr Cook told it to me and I am fully convinced that in no detail are my recol lections wrong “Dr Cook had built his house for stores In Annatook north of Etah and It was this depot which he started to reach in February 1909 crossing Smith sound It was a pretty lai6 house the walls being built of heavily filled provision boxes so that Dr Cook knew that when this Important point was reacned everything was safe He had before the start given permission to a young friend named Whit ney to use ’the house while hunting musk oxen for sport In the winter ol “When Dr Cook and his two Eskiexhausted and half starved came within a short distance of the house in Annatook young Whitney came out to bid him welcome bub inside the house was a stranger a giant Newfoundland boatswain on watch Th's man had been placed in Dr Cook’s house by Peary when the latter passed Etah with his ship bound north Peary had given the boatswain a written order which commenced with the following words: “ ‘This house belongs to Dr Frederick A Cook but Dr Cook is long ago dpad ajid there is no use to search after him Therefore I Commander Robert E Peary Install my boatswain in this deserted house’ “This paper the boatswain who could neither read nor write exhibited to Dr Cook and the latter took a copy “This copy however he does not Intend to publish if Peary's course does not force him to do so Dr Cook gave me a lively account of how the young millionaire Whitney during the whole winter was treated like a dog by the boatswain and how he had witnessed the sailor bartering Dr Cook’s provisions for fox and bear skins for himself Dr Cook also had to put a good face on the unpleasant situation He had to beg to get into his own house and had to make a compromise with the boatswain Dr Cook made a present of the house with all Its contents to his two faithful Eskimos with the provision that Whitney was to have the use' of the house as long as his hunting trip lasted but he was compelled to let the boatswain continue his watch The boatswain however received strict orders not to exchange any more of the provisions or guns “To Mr Whitney Dr Cook gave his instructions and his observations as he thought these precious things were safer there than on the Tong sledge trip in the spring across Melville bay but all his notebooks and soiled record books which have been so closely written upon he kept and carried with him “To me who understand only very little astronomy the record written down so closely and in all directions were very hard to read but what is the record to us? The two men Peary and Cook there character their conduct that la what Interests us and every little Item throwing a sidelight upon their natures Is valuable” mos Nev — The bodies of Rhyolite Emory Bodge and Tom Flanz two miners who perished of thirst while attempting to cross Death valley have been found four miles west of Skldoo Cal by members of the searching party scouring the desert for a brother of President Eldridge of the National Sewing Machine company who has been lost lor three weeks The men whose bodies were found left Rhyolite late In August and started across the floor of Death valley where the thermometer readies 130 degrees in the shadeduring the summer months They carried two canteens of water each but this supply must have gone half way Crazed by thirst they wandered about until the were overcome by the heat and laid down to die Young Eldridge was attempting to reach this place - from his mining claims in the Panamint range He left his companions three weeks ago Men from all the desert camps have searched the desert The burro which he took with him when ho started across the valley was found a few days ago but there was no other trace of the man HARRIMAN POLICY CONTINUES Personal Fried Chosen to Succeed Mr Harriman at Head of Union Pacific New York — The continuance of the Harriman policy In the management of the Union Pacific Southern Pacific and the chain of allied railroads was made certain on Monday temporarily at lehst when Robert S Lovett E H Hardman’s personal counsel and close friend was elected to succeed Mr Harriman at the head of the Union Pacific executive committee To strengthen further the dominance of the “Hariman idea” Jacob H Schiff and William Rockefeller wer& elected directors In place of Mr Harriman and the late Henry H Rogers and were chosen to places on the executive committee The Union Pacific remains without a president as Mr Harriman occupied this position also It Is understood however that an operating man— probably L F Loree president of the Delaware & Hudson — will be elected by the stockholders October 12 RLOWN INTO STREET Who Visit Lurline Baths Have Exciting Experience San Francisco— Half a score of persons were injured several probably fatally when a boiler In the Lurline baths exploded on Monday Women patrons were blown through the windows of their apartments Into the streets and the building was almost ccmpMely wrecked A muffled roar from beneath the building shook the neighborhood just before noon and a cloud of steam and smoke belched forth The boiler was torn from Its foundation and hurled through the roof describing an arc high in the air and crashing Into the middle of Geary street From the second floor cf the structure wuere the Individual bathrooms were located men and women were blown through great gap in the walls and the windows Women Three Children Mysteriously Shot Utica N Y — A crime for which there at present appears to be no exwas committed against planation three Italian children In this city Sunday evening They are Theresa Pecipio seven years old who is dead shot through the heart Fanny Infusi-n- o three years old badly wounded In left arm and Freddy Infuslno two and a half years old shot through the bowels and will die The smaller children were lured away from the promise of candy by an "aged man and the older girl followed la an endeavor to get the children away from the stranger A Desert Tragedy San Bernardino Cal— Lost on the desert for two days last week Jose Melendez finally reached a Santa Fe section camp near Barnwell only to have his sufferings end In a peculiar and fatal tragedy As Melendez staggered Into a tent where several Mexican laborers were sheltered he offered his revolver In exchange tor food One of the Mexicans took the weapon to examine It when It wa The bullet accidentally discharged entered the right eye of Melendez amt le fell dead s |
