SYDNEY. C. B.. Sept. 19. New light
was thrown on the controversy over the
discover" of the North Pole on the arrival
of the steamer Tyrien, from Battle Har
or. where the correspondents learned
from two members of Commander Peary's
expedition that Dr. Cook had met them
at Etah and had said nothing of dis
covering the Pole.
When Harry Whitney. George ' Norton
and Larned went to Etah on the Erik
to bring provisions for Peary, both Nor
ton and Larned turned back and Whit
ney obtained permission from Commander
Peary to remain at the Etah station.
Commander Peary stationed John Mur
phy, boatswain of the Roosevelt and Wil
liam Pritchard. assistant cook of the
Roosevelt, at Etah to guard the stores.
Murphy, telling of his experiences at
Etah. said:
Murphy Says Cook Was Hungry.
"Commander feary told me to go
ashore at Etah to guard the stores which
I saw taken from the Roosevelt and the
Brick Pritchard was with me. Sometime
last Spring a white man came into camp
and Mr. Whitney told me it was Dr.
Cook. He did not stay long. Cook looked
tired and worn out and -said he was
hungry. I had an argument with him.
as he claimed that some of the stores we
were guarding belonged to him. He had
only two Eskimos with him and as all his
dogs were dead, the doctor had to pull
his sledges.
Pritchard said these Eskimos told him
thev had been way. way north.'
"None of the party at Battle Harbor
would discuss what had .been learned
from Harry Whitney, as Commander
Peary had given orders that the Cook
controversy must not be mentioned. It
was commonly reported at Battle Harbor,
however, that Peary had some differ
ences with Whitney, who decided that In
stead of returning to Sydney on the
Roosevelt, he would- do some shooting
in Greenland.
Peary Did Not Tell or Pole,
Friends of Dr. Cook here pointed out
that when Commander Peary on his re
turn from the Pole sent for Professor
McMillan, who had gone to establish a
base of supplies at-Cape Morris Jessup,
he did not mention In his letter to the
professor anything of his discovery of
the Pole. The message, which was made
public by Professor McMillan at Battle
Harbor, read:
"S. S. Roosevelt. April 23, 1909. My dear
McMillan: Arrived on board yesterday.
Northern trip was entirely satisfactory.
There is no need of Greenland depot.
Captain came on board the 24tn. Con
centrate all your energies on tidal ob
servations and line soundings north from
" Cape Morris Jessup. Use intended sup
plies for roe for this purpose.
(Signed) COMMANDER PEARY."
Commander Peary's adherents assert
that the words "northern trip entirely
satisfactory" indicate clearly that the
expedition had accomplished Its purpose.
Professor McMillan said at Battle Harbor
he had seen Harry Whtney, at Etah and
that Whitney did not tell anyone of Dr.
Cook's discovery of the Pole.
Peary's Exploring Ended.
It was at Battle Harbor that Com
mander Peary told the story of his Jour
ney to a score or more of correspondents.
He will head no more trips to the
Arctic, nor, for that matter, to the nt
artic His work in the ice fields is
finished.
"I have accomplished the ambition of
my life." said the commander.
"I shall always be interested in Arctic
exploration, but it must now be left to
younger men."
Commander Peary often broke his nar
rative to call upon Professor Donald Mc
Millan, naturalist and geologist, to re
late some incident of the trip.
No less Interesting than Peary's dash
to the pole were the discoveries of Pro
fessor McMillan of relics and stores of
seven previous Arctic expeditions, those
of General lireely in jS81-S4: -ommander
Hall in 1871: the Amundsen exploration
party of 193: Sir John Woods expedition
the exploration party of Admiral Sir
George Narea in 1S75-78. and the expedi
tions of Commander Peary In 1S96 and
1900.
Again Hints at "Fake."
Commander Peary prefaced the "in
quisition." as he called It Hvith the
statement that he had made his position
clear in reference to the Cook contro
versy in early dispatches sent by wire
less to the Associated Press.
"I shall pay no attention to the fake
stories or any side Issues," said Com
mander Peary, "that are put out to dis
tract attention from the main question,
has Cook been at the pole?' "
"Do you think it possible for any man
to fake observations to prove that he was
at the pole?" he was asked.
"In the opinion of Admiral Melville. V.
8. N.. Admiral Sir George Nares. R. ti..
and myself, yes." he responded. Then
he continued.
"I do not care to speak of other obser
vations in view of what I claim, and I
won't say anything more until the state
ment signed . by another Is ofTered and
then I will submit .my statement."
MORE.
Traces Liven Christmas Day.
The story of Christmas day in the
Arctf was pictured by Commander
Pear)'. Athletic contests were arranged
by Professor McMillan and a running
course of 73 yards on the ice and snow
was laid out beside the Roosevelt. Christ
mas day falls In the dead of the Arctic
night, and to light the racing path little
whale oil lamps were set on snow
mounds. In the flickering yellow light,
this weird company, hooded and garbed
in the heavy furs of the North, gathered
and applauded the contestants.
"Tuh Cuh .Mah won the race for the
married women and Professor McMillan
had offered the selection of one of three
things as the prise a bar of soap, a box
of thread and a frosted cake.
"We. were all curious to know which
article Tuh Cuh Mah would select," said
Professor McMillan. "I knew I would
take th frosted cake. If It had been my
choice, but she quickly took the soap.
"Poor Ross Marvin won the footrac.
for the Americans, while Sigloo won the
race for the Eskimo men.
"The holiday was fittingly observed on
the Roosevelt, and while muskox took the
place of turkey, there were all -sorts of
puddings and sweetmeats on the table.
We had Washington pudding and plum
pudding, and Captain Bartlett opened

to take an active Interest In yachting.
locked canister of good things, which his
wife quietly gave to me before we left
the South, and told me to give it to her
husband on Christmas day. I found that
Mrs. Peary had worked the Captain-the
snir.s way and had given him a locked
canister for me to be opened on Christ
mas day. We had hot toddy r.d cigars
for all. . All the members of the party
received a box of candy from Mrs.
Peary."
Speaking of the scientific value or the
expedition to the North Pole, Commander
Peary said that soundings from Cape
Columbia to the Pole were valuable and
supplemented the data given by Nansen
and Cagni on the other side of the Pole.
"The reaching of the Pole," added
Peary, "is proof of man's final conquest
of the earth. As it stood, with the Pole
unfound, it was a continual reproach to
civilization. The discovery of the South
Pole may now be looked for as an accepted-
fact. Work In the Antarctic is
quite different than in the Arctic. An
expedition to the North Pole must com
plete its work within the year. No base
can be left for another year's operations,
while in the Antarctic an explorer can
lay a base that will be permanent for the
future advance the next year."
Arctic Will Be Summer Resort.
That Greenland, and the Arctic regions
will become a Summer resort in time is
Commander Peary'a- confident belief, and
Dr. Goodsell, physician of the expedi
tion, asserted that the dry air and con
stant sunlight of the Summer was a fine
cure for tuberculosis. The explorer
spoke sadly of the loss of Ross Marvin,
who was drowned on April 11.
"We were In our igloos." said he, "when
Kood Look Too and Inuh Gluh Too.
whom Percy, the steward, had chris
tened Harrigan.' came Into camp with
their heads down. They shook their
heads, and we knew that poor Marvin
had been lost. They sa1d they found tha
hole where he had fallen through the
thin ice, and that they could see the
back of hl fur coat above the surface of
the water!"
Commander Peary was asked if he be
lieved the Pole could be reached again
and to what he ascribed his success. "I
believe." he said, "that any member of
my party could reach the Pols twice out
of three times Just the same as Captain
Bartlett could take the Roosevelt through
the ice floes to Cape Sheridan four out
of five times. You get your training as
you progress towards the Pole. I keep
myself sound, clean and straight.
"The expedition this time was particu
larly fortunate in the absence of winds
east and. west across our course and to
the fortunate prevailing wind in our faces
that held the ice to the land.
New Sledge Was Great Aid.
"Again, we had fhe advantage of a new
type of sledge without which we would
not have been able to make our remark
able progress. This type of sledge, the
Morris K. Jessup sledge, shows marked
development. It reduces the traction
force on the dogs and also reduces the
strain on the drivers. It 1 Is no picnic
In the Arctic: just hard work all the
time. There is no riding on the sledges,
but Just pushing every minute."
Professor McMillan, telling of finding
relics and stores of earlier expeditions,
said he came upon some supplies at Fort
Conger that had been left there by the
Greely expedition in 1881-84.
"There were coffee, tea. canned pota
toes and rhubarb and I tried them all."
he said.
"It turned strange to think that 17 out
of that party of 25 had died of starvation
after they had left these provisions be
hind. They had to go back under orders
and failed to find the relief ship at Cape
Sabine.
Greely Relics Found.
1 also found a trunk of Colonel David
L. Bralnard. and a scientific book belong
ing to Ueutenant Frederick Kingsbury
from his son. Hardy Kingsbury. There
was alij a temperature book Inscribed to
Ueutenant Kingsbury, from his old
friend and well-wisher. George W. Clarke,
Detroit. Mich.' There were also unilgrmi
of General Greeley, which I wore. antJ -book
in which George W. Rice, pho
tographer of the party, had placed some
plates. There were other relics, such as
watch charms, musical Instruments and
stickpins.
"Near Etah I came upon the old Polaris
House in Thank God Harbor, which had
been used by the expedition of Com
mander Hall In 1871. I found at latitude
81:44 a cuff on which was still written
plainly the name of Sir John Lockwood.
While at Kukanl. I walked into an Es
kimo hut and found the Eskimos eating
oft a plate on the back of which was the
name of the ship GJoa. which carried
the Amundsen expedition of 1908-06. I
gave the Eskimos a cup for the plate."

To Dr. T. Kumagae, physician of the
Imperial University at Tokio, the Presi
dent said:
"Wre have a profound admiration for
the physicians of Japan. They taught
us the way to stamp out the plague. In
Manila they taught us to label the rats,
and by driving them to their holes to
wipe out the source of infection. We
owe them a lasting debt of gratitude."
When Mr. Iawamot. a brokr of tho
Osaka Stock . Exchange, was introduced,
the President expressed his great inter
est in the Japanese market methods, and
laughingly remarked:
"I suppose you have bulls and bears."
"Oh, yes, sir," replied the broker.
"And the lambs, too?"
The broker bowed- low and passed on.
Kojiro Matuskata, - president of the
Kobe Chamber of Commerce and a ship
builder, was only one of what the Presi
dent remarked as being a "gratifying
sprinkling of Yale men all along the
line." He -received most cordial wel
come, the President having met him and
his father, one of the elder statesmen of
Japan, in their native country,
"I bring from my father his humble
but sincere good wishes," said Mr.
Matoukata, who, later, in response to a
question from the President, said he
graduated from Yale in '88.
With Mr. Otani, president of the Yoko
hama Chamber of Commerce, President
Taft exchanged many pleasant recollec
tions of former associations In Japan.
"Mrs. Taft and I remember Yokohama
especially well," declared the President,
"and we still value most highly the sil
ver service presented us by the Cham
ber of Commerce there and which we
continue now to use at the White House.
Whenever Mrs. Taft serves tea that sil
ver makes her the envy of all the ma
trons that come to the White House."
BaTon Shibusawa, in his address, said:
"This is one of the proudest moments
of my life. It has Just been our good
fortune to be introduced to your Presi
dent, and he has been so kind and so
gracious that we all. Individually, feel

never before grlven to any private in

abroad without any official capacity.
"Scarcely less deep was the Interest
manifested in our trip by thepeople at
large. The whole nation united In giv
ing us a send-off such as is given only
to the men going to the front in de
fense of home and country. From this
you can easily Infer how strong and
universal Is the enthusiasm excited in
Japan by our present viBit to your
country.
Friendship Must Continued

The President said:
"I say only what is in the heart of
everyone who hears me, that we are 411
delighted to welcome" this influential,
highly intelligent and most charming
company of our Japanese friends.- They
have. In this company of .50 .business
men of acute intellects, men of far-seeing
commercial experience.
"I am not one of those who believe It
is wise to keep back-the progress of your
neighbors, that your own' progress may
be great. We have much to learn from
Japan and they have much to learn from
us, but as we Improve in both lessons
and as we grow to be greater in com
merce and In business we shall grow- to
be greater customers each of the other.;
Taft Loves Japan.
"The old colonial ' Idea that It was ne
cessary to keep dependencies in a state
of tutelage so their people' did not know
the prices at which they ought t'j sell
goods, that the home governments might
get them cheap and 'sell them at ai high
price,, is a game that works a little while
but in the end if does- no good to either
party. . - ' .'' ' "
"And so it is as between, nations. The
development of "each is for the benefit of
the other, if friendly relations continue
and those commercial conventions exist
between them that ought to exist between
friendly nations. It gives me: personal
pleasure of a very acute character to
meet these representatives -of Japan. It
has been my good fortune six or. seven
times to visit - that . wonderful country
and to enjoy the hospitality of that won
derful people.
Rumors of Trouble Gone.
"We are a curious, people.. We . have
got to run our newspapers. .- We have
to have at tunes emotions stirred in
order that newspapers shall 'have cir
culation, and cannot always do this with
out giving facts.
"Therefore we hare to draw on our
Imaginations and make that to appear
which in fact is not true. Just in order
that there shall be a circulation of In
telligence among the people. Now, in
times past we have been stirred up.
Those of us who know the facts .were
never so" stirred up . as by announce
ments of trouble between Japan and
America. I believe that even the news
papers have : now given up any . such
Idea. Those of us who were In Japan,
who came into contact with all her
great men and talked with; them per
sonally, had no trouble- on that score.
"Japan Is engaged in a contest, in a
struggle I had almost - said, but I
won't say it. beeause It . is not a cor
rect expression in, a war apd prepar
ing herself for it. That struggle is in
the development of .her resources and
the making of her people a great and
successful and commercial nation. She
has proved. her ability on the field of
battle. She has shown . what can be
done by the thoroughness of prepara
tion and courage and careful, deliber
ate steps in the direction of her ambi
tion, in the defense of her rights and
maintaining her prestige on the field of
battle.
"But she is not engaged in that now.
She Is preparing for victories of peace,
and in that we all hope she may be
successful. We are not going to yield
in that controversy If we can help it.
Weyare entering the contest, and I hope
we artll strip ourselves of some non
sensical rtieas that- we have had hereto
fore, that we may make greater strides
than heretofore In the Orient and in
other ;ar distant countries.
' "It gives me great pleasure- to pro
pose a toast to a personage who -in his
life and services to his , people has
shown a devotion and remarkable abil
ity for selecting the- men with which
the wonderful advance of Japan has
been made possible, and .in government
there is no ability, higher than the
power to select the right men to do the
right things. I propose a toast to a
warm and sincere, friend of -America, to
a -monarch whom it. has been my high
honor to know personally and to be en
tertained by in the most hospitable
manner, to a ruler who has devoted all

BISHOP ROWE BACK FROM FAR
NORTHERN TRIP.
Visits Eskimo Missions as Far East
ward as Point Hope Talks
. of His Trip.
SEATTLE, Sept. 19. Ending his 14th
year of service as the head of the Epis
copal Church for the diocese of Alaska.
Bishop Row, one of thep best-known
men of the entire Northland, whose ex
ploit in spreadin? the gospel throughout
a region renowned for hardships and ob
stacles presented, have gained world
fame, arrived from Nome today by the
steamship Victoria.
He is returning via Puget Sound to
his home station at Sitka after a jour
ney covering the missionary districts
along the Arctic, as far to the eastward
as Point Hope. He soys he is well
pleased with the achievements of his
corps of workers- among the Polar Eski
mos. By arrangements with Ernest Dekoven
Leffingwell. the explorer and geologist,
who is conducting research about Flax
man Island, on the coast shore, several
hundred miles to the east of Point Bar
row, a missionary will, next Spring, be
sent to districts remote from the Leffing
well field. A native-from the Point Hopa
colony of converts will proceed over tho
ice at the breaking of Spring, continuing
his exploration and service so far as
time will permit a return to the Leffing
well camp, where he can be kept over
the Winter or returned to his home. -
"Our work among the Eskimos that I
have Just been inspecting is not greatly
different from usual, missionary mth
ods,"' Bishop Rowe said, upon landing.
"We- do, however, meet with strange
difficulties, despite which I feel safe in
saying that progress as good as could be
hoped for is being made.
"My trip north and east from Nome
was made aboard the United States rev
enue cutter Thetis. Efficient plans of
Captain A. J- Henderson required calls
at all the mission houses and colonies,
1000 miles into the Arctic country from
Port Clarence. The Thetis continued on
to Point Barrow, a station that had not
been previously reached, owing to ad
verse weather conditions for travel, while
I remained at Port Hope. There the
Summer is three weeks long. With a
quantity of lumber that had been landed
two years previously,, a church was
erected with the aid of three Eskimos."
The Japanese government will, next year
send commercial agents to Europe ana
America for the development of Japanese
trade.

PRITCHARD KEPT INFORMA
TION FROM PEARY, THOUGH.
Whitney Also Knew of Achievement,
Says Assistant Cook of Roosevelt,
Who Is Pledged to Secrecy.
BATTLE HARBOR, Labrador, Sept. 19
(by Marconi wireless via Cape Ray). At
least one man on the Roosevelt knew
long ago that Frederick A. Cook had re
ported having reached the Pole.
He is William Pritchard, assistant cook
on the Roosevelt, who remained at
Annotook with Boatswain Murphy to
guard the stores. Pritchard had not
spoken to anyone on board of Dr. Cook's
achievement, but when confronted yes
terday with a wireless message from mld
ocean that Dr. Cook said Pritchard knew
the whole story of his dash for the Pole,
the youth admitted he had learned from
Dr. Cook details of the final march, and
that Dr. Cook had explained to him the
route followed.
Whether Boatswain Murphy also was
Informed of Dr. Cook's success Pritchard
did not know, but unquestionably Harry
Whitney, who was at the store-house
when Dr. Cook returned, is conversant
with all the facts.
Whitney did not disclose this Interest
ing piece of news to Commander Peary,
and Pritchard kept it from Peary on the
entire voyage of the Roosevelt to Battle
Harbor. Pritchard said he was at the
house at Annotook, with Whitney and
Cook, while Murphy was at Etah. He
