Barrill Dares Dr, Cook To Make Affidavit That He Ascended Mit, McKinley While Both Face The Audience — Meeting ‘Adopts A Resolution Declaring Belief In Hamilton, Mont. (Special) .-——After a stormy session lasting until the early hours of morning, a large meet- ing addressed by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, discoverer of the North Pole, adopted a resolution expressing con- fidence in the veracity of Barrill and Printz, the guides who made aflidav- its that Cook did not climb Mount McKinley. The meeting started with an ad- dress by Dr. Cook, in which he at- tacked his enemies for disputing his claims to having climbed Mount Mec- Kinley, and declared he would prove they had spent money to obtain the aflidavits against him, Attorney Crutchfield, representing the guides, questioned Cook after his address, and then the fireworks started. Crutchfield challenged the veracity of Cook's statement, J. H. Durston, editor of the Ana- conda Standard, offered a resolution asking that the meeting declare a lack of faith on the part of the peo- ple of Montana, in all matters about which Dr. Cook made claims, Sena- tor Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana, urged that fair play be accorded all parties to the controversy. No one accepted the Durson resolution and it was withdrawn. Edward N. Barrill, the guide who accompanied Dr. Cook up Mount Mec. Kinley was called on, and on taking the platform declared that Dr, Cook's statements that they reached the top of Mount McKinley were incorrect. Dr, Cook replied by asserting to Barrill’'s face that the latter's state- ments were false, STRIKE MAY WIPE OUT TWO TOWNS Steel Trust Dismantling Some Big Tin Mulls.
