PEABTS ATTACK. COOK'S RE
TORT. PEART Whitney (fated that he
merely had soma of Dr. Cook be
longings and asked to put them
aboard the Roosevelt. Thli I re
fused to permit- I knew what Cook
wan up to and that he had been
trylnr to take every advantage of
my llfe'a work and supplies. There
fore. I did not care to make the
Roosevelt an express for Dr. Cook.
COOK My Instruments are not
lost: I am sure of that. If I had
known what I know now. I should
not have wt either records or in
struments at Etah.
The American flag which I had
hoisted at the North Pole I rave to
Mr. Whitney at his special request.
He had It In his private trunk when
he went aboard the Roosevelt, but
he was not permitted to bring It
with him. He was compelled to take
it out of the trunk and bury It.
If Peary had been in need of any
thing at Etah. he could have had
everything of mine.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook consented tonight ' to ' give, the
Associated Press a, formal reply to some
or the charges brought against him by
Commander Robert E. Peary. A more
complete declaration will be issued by
the explorer -when Peary makes his ac
cusations over hie. signature. The state
ment follows:
"Commander Robert E. Peary says that
my sledges were not fitted to Arctic
travel and that he would not care to
voyage In the Arctic with them. The
only sledge Commander Peary saw was
a half one, which I had given to Mr.
"Whitney as a souvenir. The remainder
of it had been used to make bows and
arrows.
Why He Kept Instruments.
"As to my reasons for leaving my in
struments with Mr. Whitney, he had told
me that the Erik was coming to Etah
and would take him over to the Ameri
can side to hunt big game and would
come back later to Annotook. The dis
tance from Annotook to Upernavik by
the route which I was compelled to fol
low was nearly "00 miles. In that jour
ney I had to travel over high land in
two places, with glaciers and difficult
places to negotiate. The Ice was ex
tremely rough and there was a great deal
of water to be expected that would have
subjected the instruments to a risk which
was entirely unnecessary, when Mr.
Whitney awaited a ship to go to Etah for
him upon which he expected to return
direct to America. By going' to Uperna
vik I hoped to get back by the end of
July or the middle of August. I wanted
to see n-.y family as soon as possible, as
I had been separated from them more
than two years, while Mr.- Whitney did
not expect to get back before October.
Peary's Cache Hard to Find.
"As to the charge that I had not found
traces of Commander Peary"s records at
Cape Thomas Hubbard, the point which
Commander Peary would call Cape
Thomas Hubbard Is a round promontory
and It would be difficult to find any dis
tinct point which could be positively rec
ognized as Cape Thomas Hubbard from
Commander Peary's map, and I am un
able to locate Cape Thomas Hubbard.
We did not search for any cache where
records might be deposited. In fact, I
did not know that Peary had left any
records there. Considerably' to the west
I did see a rock which might have been
a cache, but it might have been merely
a clump of rocks. I was at a very long
distance from It and there was no reason
why I should have searched. I left a
cache of provisions close to the begin
ning of the cliffs- of what Sverdrup puts
down as Svartevoeg. There was no in
dication where we left our provisions.
Will Answer in Detail , .
"The other points -of the so-called
charges have been replied to In detail
-on several occasions. I will answer
everything In the most formal way when
Commander Peary prints or makes pub
lic his other points. My reply then will
be given out as a written statement"

NEW YORK. Sept. 17. "My Instru

and swinging an electric lantern at his
side. President Taft was locked in a nar
row iron cage and dropped 1200 feet
through midnight blackness Into the
depths of the famous old Leonard cop
per mine at Butte today, and had the
rare experience of seeing miners at work
with a giant drill in a vein -of high

Bisulphide of Carbon Is Dropped
Into House to Annoy Other Boys,
but Chemical Kicks Back.
GRESHAM, Or.. Sept. 27.-(SpecIal.)
Basil "Littlepage, eon of a local real es
tate dealer, was thrown from a chimney
top on his father's office to the ground,
a distance of 20 feet, Saturday, by the ex
plosion of bisulphide of carbon, which he'
and some companions had dropped down
the chimney to annoy four boys who had
locked themselves in the room. Neither
Basil nor any of the boys In the room
wae injured by the explosion.
- The affair resulted from the refusal of
John Littlepage, Charley McCall and tw.o
other, boys named Metzger and Pugh, to
take part In a game of football that had
been planned. An attack was made on
tlie four boys for their refusal to play,
and they took refuge in the. real estate
office, barricading the door against their
tormentors.
Then the boys on the outside hit upon
the plan of forcing the others out of the
room by dropping a pound of bisulphide
of carbon, which they procured at. a
drugstore, down' the chimney. The re
semblance between the odor of the chem
ical and that of spoiled eggs, was deemed
sufficient to' cause an Immediate evacua
tion of the room.
As a precaution against the escape of
the fumes of the chemical. Basil under
took to sit on the top of the chimney on
a board he placed there-for a seat. It
happened that a fire was In existence be

that sent him flying to the ground.

OLYMFIA, Wash., Sept. 27. (Special.)
If the southwest nd Columbia River

This Is the best judgment of those
delegates who have arrived for the Con
gressional convention to be held here be
ginning at 11 A. M. Wednesday.
Eliminating Thurston County, the
southwest and river counties have 118
votes, or three more than enough to se
lect the man. Jefferson, with ten votes,
and Clallam, with 11. are unpledged, and
ready at any time to plump solidly for
a winner, which would give the combine
an aggregate of 24 votes more than is
necessary to determine the choice.
Ashton and Finch Confident.
Both James M. Ashton, of Tacoma,
and Edward C. Finch, of Aberdeen,
have the nomination for Congress al
ready cinched, if claims of their re
spective enthusiastic supporters are to
be believed. Conservative ones who
have studied the situation declare the
contest is far from ended? and that it
Is possible neither will be the choice
of the Republican district convention,
which meets here tomorrow.
There will be 226 delegates in the
convention, so that it requires 114 to
nominate. The county delegations
seem to shape up for first choice as
follows:
Chehalls. 22 votes for E, C. Finch, of
Aberdeen,
Clallam, 11. waiting for the band

Clark, 18 for E. E. Beard, of "Van

YOUNG DUCHESS
TO WED JOACHIM
WIDOW OF DE CHATJLNES TO
FIND COMFORT IN PRINCE.
Only Waits Completion of Young
Murat's Military Service to
Marry Him.
PARIS, Sept. 27. (Special.) That the
Duchess de Chaulnes, formerly Miss
Theodora Shonts, will pass a large part
of the next Winter In Chicago was .veri
fied In a letter received today from a
fnember of her family, who writes:
"The Duchess has not been in robust
health since the death of her husband.
She desires a change, and nothing could
be a greater change than to move from
Paris to Chicago. Moreover, she has
not been home since she was married.".
Rumors that the Duchess w.ill be mar
ried to young Prince Joachim Murat have
gained ground in the last few months.
Leaders of the younger set affirm in the
strongest manner that, when the Prince
finishes his term of military service, the
marriage will be arranged. From the
standpoint of the older set It Is unreason
able to suppose that the handsome young
Duchess will remain unmarried long
merely because her first husband died.
In France divorce, but not death, would
be a reason.
FIFTH HOLD-UP IN WEEK
Victim Forced to Lie Face Down
While Robbers Flee.
The fifth hold-up In a week was con
summated last night when C. M. Lee, of
376 Taylor street, employed by the
Kazelwood . cream store, on Wash
ington street, was held up and robbed,
shortly before midnight, within a block
of his home, between Tenth and Elev
enth streets. The robbers secured $19
and a gold watch. ,
From the manner in which the rob
beries have been committed the police
believe all are chargeable to the same
agency. The description given by Lee
of the two men answers to that given
of the men who held up and robbed
Allan B. Hutchings, auditor and pay
master of the Oregon Electric Railway,
Sunday night.
After Lee had been relieved of his
money he was commanded to He face
down on the walk and not to move un
der penalty of death. This he says he
did, remaining recumbent for 15 min
utes or more.
SMOKE COMES FROM HOOD
Peculiar Phenomenon Believed to Be
Connected With Earthquake.
For the first time In 30 years smoke was
seen apparently issuing from the sum
mit of Mount Hood yesterday morning at
6 o'clock. The eastern horizon was
lighted by the rising sun and those who
witnessed the smoke say there can be no
mistake.
Captain of Police Slover and members
of his relief discussed the strange phe
nomenon last night at assembly. All tes
tified to- seeing it.
It Is believed there is some connection
between this strange condition and the
earthquake which shocked Illinois and
Missouri early yesterday morning. Ac
cording to scientists, this Is liable to oc
cur In a natural prodigy, such as Mount
Hood, which is in direct sympathy with
the entire continent.
