Dr. Cook stated that his lecture tour would be abandoned for the purpose of completing as nearly as possible the data to be forwarded to the University of Copenhagen. These data and r-e-ords will be officially passed upon by the Royal Geographical Society of Co penhagen. As yet these scientists huve not examined the full and complete rec ords of the doctor.

Barri'.l In his affidavit declaring that Dr. C"ok did not reach the summit of Mount McKinley. was secured by the attorneys representing Dr. . F. A. Cook in this city today from C. G. Brldgford. :unttl recentlv a partner with Barrill in the real estate business in Hamilton, Mor.t. This affidavit contains the state- ment that Barrill told his partner that ;lt meant from 5"J0 to I'.O.WO to him to make the affidavit against Cook. Other . affidavits contradicting statements made I by Barrill and declaring that the latter made contradictory statements before he made his affidavit were also secured by ' the attorneys, but have not yet been made public. Mr. Bridgford will leave here Monday for New York, where he ' will appear as a wltners in support of the sworn statement he has made. His affidavit recites: Found Barrill Man of Integrity. I have known Edward N. Barrill. of Darby. Ravalli County. Mont., for about 10 or II years. During this time I have i had business relations with Mr. Barrill. , W( have been in the real estate business ' together. , We had offices in the City ' of Hamilton and our business relations continued until he went to Seattle, which was about the last of September, 1909. During the time I have known Mr. Bar rill we have been intimate acquaintances, having had more or ess business trans actions and associations together. Dur ing this time I have always found Mr. Barrill an upright citizen and a man of integrity. Our relations at this time are friendly, although we have dissolved our partnership. We nevertheless bear to one another the clo-eet relations of - friendship. , Meant Money for Barrill. "The first time I beard Mr. Barrill say anything relating to Dr. Cook's ascent of Mount McKinley was in September of this year. This was about the time of receiving the news of the discovery of the North Pole. He and I started out in an automobile up In the south end of Hamilton. I stopped at the Ravalli Hotel to see a gentleman. When I came out he and Mr. Nichols were talking. This Mr. Nichols is from Chicago and is con nected with the Bitter Root Valley Irri gation Company. They still talked while I was there and Mr. Barrill said to Mr. Nichols: 'I will see you thla evening.' Mr. Barrill told me that afternoon that Mr. Nichols wanted him to come to his office In Hamilton and make .a state ment to him regarding Dr. Cook's ascent . of Mount McKinley. Mr. Barrill said that he did not intend to go. He said that this meant money to him. The next evening he met Mr. Nichols at the Hamilton bar and Mr. Nichols asked Mr. Barrill why he did not come to his of fice the evening before. Mr. Barrill said that he did not have time; that he was too busy, he could not go. Mr. Barrill told me that Mr. Nichols told him if he would come there and make a statement with reference to Dr. Cook's reaching the summit of Mount McKinley he would give him a bond that he would get his money. "Means $5000 to $10,000 to Me." "Then the next conversation I had with Mr. Barrill was the evening before be started for Seattle. He had told me a time or two before about getting a tele gram from a man by the name of Miller. 1 think Mr. Miller la a photographer in Seattle. I went to him that evening and told him we had some men to take out to look at some land the next morning. He said to me. 'I cannot go: that party Miller from Seattle is at Missoula and I am to meet him there tonight. This means from $5000 to J1O.000 to me.' "That was the last I saw of Mr. Barrill until he came back from Seattle, which was on Thursday, October 7, 1&09. : He came up from Missoula and he went on up homo to Darby that night. Mr. Barrill, after coming from Seattle and before going to New York, left the ira ' pression with me that he was going as the friend of Dr. Cook. ' Said Cook Ascended Mount. "Mr. Barrill stated that he was there at Mount McKinley when Dr. Cook made the ascent of Mount McKinley. Mr. Barrill showed me pictures in a book and said that the pictures had been taken on the trip up Mount McKinley. He also showed me a picture of the place where they were cutting the steps on Mount, McKinley. He then showed me the diary used on the trip and showed me right where Dr. Cook frore his toes;. . showed me the packhorses crossing the water and also showed me light where the glaze of ice was on the mountain. "From what Mr. Barrill stated. I judged that Dr. Cook and he had reached ' the top of Mount McKinley. I judged as much from what other men told me as from what Mr. Barrill told me. Mr. Prints told me that when Dr. Cook and ' Mr. Barrill returned from their trip and rejoined him. Barrill said: " 'I introduce to you the man who went to the top of Mount McKinley Dr Cook; congratulate the doctor." (Signed "C. G. BRIDGFORD." COOK WILL. NOT ASSWEK PEARY Will Prepare Report Immediately, Get Instruments Next Summer. Dl'LUTH, Minn.. Oct. 23. Commander Peary's latest move In the Polar con troversyhis dispatch to Washington friends regarding the Rasmussen story brought nothing but a nod from Dr. Cook when he learned of it here today. The doctor intimated that it was un likely that he would take any particu lar notice of the attack on the Danlsa explorer's report Neither could Dr. Cook be induced to . say anything regarding the dispatch from Missoula that his agents in Mon tana had secured satisfactory evidence that Barrlll's affidavit was the result of "inducements." His only comment on that dispatch was that General Weed evidently had been mistaken or mis quoted regarding his going West, as it would be Impossible for the explorer to get to Montana before the latter part of November, and possibly not until the middle of December. Prepare Koport for Copenhagen. Dr. Cook will go directly to New York from Minneapolis Monday night, and will devote his time to preparing his report of the Nortb.

PROVED TO BE M'CLEAN PRETENDED SCHLATTER'S WILLi FOOD IN POCKET. Leaves Property to Brother, Who Is Colorado Sheepman, and Names His Parents. HASTINGS, .Neb.. Oct. 23. The dis covery of a packet of papers which had slipped unnoticed from the coat of the late Dr. Charles McLean, or Schlatter, will doubtless clear the mystery which has hung about his death. The papers were turned over to the County Judge. Among them was found a will which gave the name of a brother. Hector McLean, of Brush. Colo., who is nar.ied as heir to any property which may have been left. Judge Button refused to divulge the nature of the will. , A telegram was sent to the post master at Brush, who informed the court that Hector McLean was tem porarily absent from town, but that he had a brother named Charles Mc Lean. With the will was a note pinned to a bank book and crudely written as follows:. "Was born- Swell Island, Scotland. My father and mother, Anne and Don ald, were brother and sister, 148 Tra falgar Hotel, New York Ctty." Two bank books showing deposits of 300 each in Philadelphia and New York banks were found today, making a total of $900 In cash deposited In banks In the East. Following the message from Brush, Colo., Mayor Miles, of Hastings, re ceived a letter from David McXaughton, of Chicago, stating that he had "tele graphed Hector McLean, of Brush, Colo., brother of the late Charles Mc Kin, to call at Hastings for the body." CUBANS MAY FIGHT DUEL PEPPERY CABINET MEMBERS EXCHANGE HOT WORDS. Dnqne Resents Advice of Velex and Court of Honor Will De cide Issue. HAVANA, Oct. 23. A duel between two members of the Cuban Cabinet and the retirement from public life of one or both of the combatants is likely to re sult from a sharp difference of opinion which recently arose between JuBto Gar cia Velez, Secretary of State, and Dr. Mathlas Duque, Secretary of Sanitation. Both decline to discUBS the matter, but it appears on good authority that when the strike of the garbage collectors and street sweepers began Secretary Velez In a friendly spirit advised Dr. Duque that he had better take Instant action for the sanitary protection of the city. Other wise, in the event of any outbreak of dis ease, there would probably result a move ment in the direction of a new American Intervention. Secretary Duque considered this Im pertinent interference in his department and made an acrimonious reply, which was followed by the issuance of a chal lenge by Secretary Duque and the nom ination of seconds by both members of the Cabinet. At the suggestion of Presi dent Gomes, the Ministers presented their resignations, which the President is re taining pending an inquiry. The parties today submitted the mat ter to a court of honor to determine whether there existed the necessity for a duel. The court probably will render its decision tomorrow.

Along the entire territory east of the Rockies, however, the mercury is falling with the exception of the Middle Atlantic and the South Atlantic coasts.

Works, former Superior Judge. A collection was taken to assist n de fraying the expenses of De Lara s de fense, and resolutions svere adopted. Mrs. De Lara., the American wife of the im prisoned Mexican attorney and author, wae given an ovation by the on. present when she was Introduced by Rev Revnold E. Blight, of the Los Angeles Fellowship Club, who acted as chairman of the meeting. The first speaker of the evening was John K. Turner, author of "Barbarous Mexico." now appearing in serial form, who was guided through Mexico by De Lara. Deportation Means Death. Turner said that deportation for De Lara means death. He scored the Los Angeles police force for assisting the Mexican government, and stated that the Department of Justice and the Secret Service of the United States had been placed in the hands of President Diaz to do his work because of the privileged American Interests in Mexico. Judge Works severely arraigned the local police and the Government officials. "I am not here to denounce the Mexican government," he said, "but to deal with our own country. We have evils enough here." He stated that he had made an im partial investigation of De Lara's arrest and had ascertained that it was wholly without warrant or authority of law. "These men must unearth an anarch ist once in a while or lose their Jobs," he said, speaking of the Secret Service. "They make the President believe that he is in constant danger of death, which in my judgment is a dclusion.'V Prominent Men Speak. Other speakers were Atorney Joseph Harriman, former Socialist candidate for Vice-President: Rev. Frank I. Wheat and Stanley Wilson, editor of the Citizen. The resolutions which were adopted protested against the arrest of De Lara as an alien, declared belief in his inno cence and criticised the alleged action of Government officials in lending their aid to effect a return of political refugees to foreign countries. Copies will be sent to the President and to the Department of Commerce and Labor. JOY-RIDING IS CHARGED i Patrolman West Accused of Using Taxis, but Denies It. ' As a resrult of information given Chief of Police Cox yesterday afternoon by Councilman Lombard, the conduct of Patrolman Frank G. West Is to be in vestigated: According to Mr. Lombard, who is in the taxlcab business, West is given to "Joy-riding." Mr. Lombard called at the police sta tion yesterday afternoon. He told Chief Cox he had discovered that a number of his chauffeurs have been taking out his machines without hia permission and that Patrolman West had accompanied them. As a result of his discoveries, says Mr. Lombard, he Is going to discharge his crew of chauffeurs and engage a new lot. Chief Cox said last night: "I shall look into this matter, and if I And that Pa trolman West has been riding in automo biles during his hours of duty. I shall take steps to rid the department of his services. We don't want a man derelict in 'his duty. If. however, it is shown that he has merely accepted an invitation while off duty, it Is not probable that charges will result." West himself denies all knowledge of any offense such as, is described bj Mr. Lombard. He says he has never been out in any of Mr. Lombard's taxis, whether on or off duty.

GRIEF MAY KILL MOTHER Aged Woman In Critical Condition After Learning of Son's Death. Is Tammany Strengthened or Weakened ? NEW YORK, Oct. 23. The body of Patrick H. McCarren, Btate Sanator and leader of Brooklyn, who died early to day, will be burled from 8t. Vincent De Paul's Roman Catholic Chureh in the heart of his political stronghold, next Tuesday morning. To his friends he had expressed the wish that his funeral be as simple as possible. Flags were at half mast today on the City Hall of Greater New York and every public building in Brooklyn. Testimonials of regard and expressions of regret have deluged the relatives to day. Charles Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall and McCarren's bitterest political enemy said of him today: "1 have always admired Senator Mc Carren's ability as a leader and the courajre with which he fought for what he believed to be right. All our dif ferences were political, not personal." Ends Tammany's Fight. Speaking of McCarren's- probable suc cessor to tho Democratic leadership of Brooklyn. Joseph Cassidy, formerly borough president of Queens County, said tonlsrht: 'This ends Tammany's fight for Brook lyn. Tammany never desired to go Into Brooklyn except as against McCarren. Now that he Is gone, there wiU be no mora reaching acrofs the river." Political students who could not agree with Mr. Cassidy held that on the contrary Mr. McCarren ' removed from the field, and Murphy's ally, William J. Conners. In control of the party machinery of the state as state chairman, it was now all Tammany. Eventually, it is asserted, the Brook lyn Democratic organization will be come part of Tammany. Commlttee to Direct. Until after election a committee, headed by Bernard York, a former Po lice Commissioner, and August Van Wyck, formerly a Supreme Court Jus tice, will direct its affairs. When in December next the executive committee of the organization holds its regular meeting a new leader will be elected. The man most generally mentioned for the place Is John H. McCooey, the Democratic nominee for Borough Presi dent of Brooklyn, a straight organiza tion man, popular with the McCarren following and long in the leader's con fidence. , The value of the estate left by Sena tor McCarren is a mystery. It is known that he owned considerable real estate and was Interested In an amusement park at Coney Island. Grief ?Iay Kill Mother. . The aged mother of State Senator Particle H. McCarren collapsed today on learning of the death of her son and this afternoon her physician ald her condition was critical. Mrs. McCarren is 84 years old. Keen Interest In the choice of a leader or the Democratic party in Kings County to succeed Mr. McCarren arises from the general belief that Tammany will en deavor to gain control of the party's af fairs in the Brooklyn rJbrough, which the Senator had persistently fought.
