Brooklyn Man Swears to Nar

SAYS DR. COOK IGNORANT
Captain Aftgust Loose Declares That
North Pole Explorer Knew Little
r Nothing About Method of
Taking Nautical Records.
NEW TORK, Dec 8. (Special.) The
New York Times presents tomorrow
the remarkable narratives of two men.
made under oath, declaring that they
were employed by Dr. Frederick A.
Cook to fabricate astronomical and
other observations for submission to
the University of Copenhagen, which is
about to pass upon Dr. Cook's asser
tion that ha discovered the North Pole
on April 21. 1908.
These men are George H. Dunkle. an
insurance broker, of New York, and
Captain August Wedell Loose, a sea
captain, of Brooklyn. For their labor
they were to have received Jointly from.
jt. 1,00s uuu, with an additional
bonus of $500 to Captain Loose upon
the acceptance of the records by the
University of Copenhagen. They say
that Dr. Cook had paid them only $260
when he disappeared on the eve of the
dispatch of his "records" to Copen
hagen, two weeks ago.
Two Men's Movements Followed.
The Times has followed the steps de
scribed by these two men and has -verified
their goings and comings, their
purchases of books and charts, and the
fact of their Intimate relations with
Dr. Cook.
The full narratives of Captain Loose
and Mr. Dunkle constitute one of the" most
fascinating chapters in the literature of
imposture. Captain Loose, frankly ex
presses hia scorn of Dr. Cook's claims,
laughs st his ignorance of the simplest
essentials for accurate observations in the
Arctic regions and describes at length
how. working backward from the Pole,
he calculated observations that would fit
in with Cook's narrative, and coached
him on the necessary modifications nf th.
. latter as for example, that he must be
sure to record . that he rose before 4:16
o'clock on a certain morning, because it
i was at that hour that a certain star
mentioned in one of Loose's calculations
, would be visible.
Mr. Dunkle describes the lnrentinn r.r
the enterprise; how from the newspapers
I mey gatnerea that Dr. Cook was In deep
. water, and inferred that he would be glad
to pay for help; how Dunkle got John R.
i Bradley. Cook's backer, to introduce him,
i how the subject was led up to- delicately
and the bargain finally struck and carried
, out and how at last Cook disappeared.
AVhal Cook Received From Loose.
Captain Loose asserts that he supplied
Dr. Cook with:
Twenty-four altitudes for latitude sights.
One chart covering; route frrom Svarte
VM to the Pole, with all of Dr. Cook's as
sumed positions marked upon It.
Complete observations for time and chro
nometer rate, as they might have been
taken by stars at Anoratok and Svartevaag,
probably 30 In all.
.Diagrams for compass error and correc
tion at different points. . .
Calculations for longitude, about 20 in all.
Sixteen observations as they could have
been taken at the North Pole, in two sets,
lgbt with depression of pole considered and
eight with depression Ignored.
"It took me only about three minutes
on my first acquaintance with Dr. Cook,"
says Captain Loose, "to get the idea into
my head that' he had never found the
North Pole. I found that he was entirely
ignorant on many vital points of the
method of taking observations.
Captain Amazed at Cook.
"It amazed me that a man who needed
so much enlightenment would have the
nerve to come out md say he had dis
covered the North Pole. Even if he got
there, I soon found that from his own
admissions he did not have the proofs
that would pass. I could not help wonder
ing how he ever imagined he had found
, the Pole if he did not know how to take

"In your declaration you say that you

After referring to various waterways
projects in detail, the President continued:
''A year ago President Roosevelt and I
were together on a platform before the
conservation of resources convention, tn
which both advocated issuing bonds that
a project improving waterways, when be

klpnaped and his eyes gouged out and
her husband shot .to death unless she
pays over $1000 In gold before 6 o'clock
Friday afternoon, Mrs. A. N. Parsons, of
this city, is prostrated with fear.
Although the anonymous writer cau
tioned the woman not to make known his
demands, she notified the authorities, who
believe they have sufficient evidence to
make arrests. Careful watch has been
kept of the boy. and officers carefully
guard the Parsons residence at night.
Marked Coin Not Wanted.
Mrs. Parsons received the threatening
letter November 29. It was written in
pencil, bore the local postmark, and was
directed to the Parsons residence, on I
street. The writer demanded that Mrs.
Parsons place $1000 In $20 gold pieces,
wrapped In cotton. In a baking powder
can. and deposit the money at a marked
place in the Granite Hill Cemetery about
6 o'clock December 1.
It was carefully specified that' "If the
money is marked. It will not be accepted,
and nothing but gold will do."
Woman Herself Threatened.
One of the first requests of the writer
is that Mrs. Parsons was not to tell her
husband until the deed had been carried
out, and intimated that if she did her
husband would be Bhot. Further threats
are that, unless the money is deposited
as directed, her 7-year-old boy will be
klpnaped, lils eyes gouged out and his
feet crippled. The woman herself is
threatened with Indignities in addition to
the loss of husband and son.
The writer goes on to say that if he
does not kidnap the boy this time he will
later, and that Mrs. Parsons' home will
be burned and her husband slain.
Information Secured in Omaha.
The letter closes with a postscript,
which reads: "If you can't get your
money soon enough, we will give you till
December 10, S o'clock." The writer
also conveyed the information that he is
a member of a society that has operated
in 27 states, and that his information of
the Parsons family came from Omaha.
A. N. Parsons, who came here last
Spring from Omaha, is now a prominent
real estate dealer in Grants Pass.

WOMAN PRAYS TO
DIE; DEATH COMES
PASSING OF FRIEND LEAVES
HER INCONSOLABLE.
Body Found on Floor of Home, With
No Signs to Indicate
Suicide.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 8. (Special.)
Praying to die because her friend, Mrs.
C. C. Wilson, had died Sunday. Mrs.
Agnes Graham died yesterday afternoon,
at the hour when Mrs. Wilson's funeral
services were being held.
Mrs. Graham had been in almost con
stant attendance upon her friend during
the last days and when the end came
was unconsolable. Kneeling on the floor
of her some for hours at a time, it is
said, she prayed for death. Testerday
afternoon her body was found stretched
on the floor of her home.
Her husband was away and the body
now lies at the undertaking parlors until
the exact cause of death can be deter
mined. There are no marks of violence upon
the body or other signs to indicate sui

East Side Hoqulam Residents Are
Threatened With Shortage.
HOQUIAM, Wash., Dec. 8. (Special.)
In a wooden town. In a, wooden country
and surrounded by wood, a fuel famine
sounds preposterous to the uninitiated.
An Incipient famine of this nature is now
threatening the. East Side residents not
withstanding, and Is brought about by
the fact that the mills situated east of
the river do not produce sufficient wood
for that district, and while the Eighth
street draw span Is being constructed the
mill operators of the West Side are a bit
chary of putting their heavy teams on
the ferry slips, to say nothing of delays
occasioned thereby.
Aberdeen millmen do not care to Invade
the local market, but will, under existing
conditions, sell wood at 81 per load In
event the consumer does the hauling.
West Side millmen make the same offer,
but draymen are reluctant about under
taking the service and the matter of fuel
for the East Side therefore assumes
serious proportions.
LAWYERS SUEF0R $86,250
John Hays Hammond Defendant in
- Litigation Over Stock.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 8. (Special.)
Suit involving 115.000 shares of the Tom
Reed Gold Mines Company, of Pasadena,
was filed in the Superior Court today by
Cyrus F. McNutt, John G. MeNutt and
Joseph Hannon, attorneys, who assert
they are entitled to 8S6.250 for services
rendered in settlement of a suit against
the concern in May, 1908.
Besides the mining company, John H.
Hobbs and John Hays- Hammond "are
made defendants. Hobbs said, according
to the complaint, that he was in a posi
tion to effect a compromise in litigation
which was then pending to acquire a
block of stock, promising the attorneys a
portion of such stock as their fee. Hobbs
afterward said he was able to .obtain only
50,000 shares and that It was necessary to
turn it all in.
The complaint states that Hobbs ob
tained in all 135,000 shares, of which he
retained 115,000, afterward transferring
90,000 of them to Hammond for the pur
pose of placing them beyond the reach
of the plaintiffs.
