COOK
RSD
New York Aldermen Vote to
Give Public Welcome.
EXPLORER TO GO TO CITY HALL
He Submits to Severe Cross Exami
nation on Alleged Doubtful
Points In His Bcport of
Discovery of the Pole.
New York, Sept. 23. The board of
aldermon has passed a resolution
formally Indorsing Dr. Frederick. A.
Cook's claim to be the discoverer of
the north pole and providing for a pub
lic welcome to him at the city hall,
the duteof which has yet to be fixed.
After a period of rest and seclusion
following his boisterous welcome Dr.
Cook submitted cheerfully to one of
the severest cross examinations since
he announced his discovery of the
north polo. The Interview was con
ducted by forty newspaper representa
tives, Including several from foreign
newspapers.
The most Interesting phase of the In
terview was reached when Dr. Cook
was asked If he would object to show
ing his diary. He Immediately con
sented and after retiring to his room
returned with a small octavo note
book, which he showed freely to all.
It was a thin book contululng 170
pages, each of which was filled with
fifty or sixty lines of penciled writing
In the most minute characters. The
book, be said, contained considerably
more than 100,000 words, while ho has
besides other books embracing his ob
servations and other data. He did not
show them, however.
Some of the more important ques
tions put to Dr. Cook during the inter
View and his replies thereto follow:
"Did anything ever occur in the life
of yourself and Mr. Peary that would
create enmity or bitterness between
you?"
"No, nothing whatever that I know
of."
"Do you look upon Commander Pea
ry as a friend or as on enemy?1'
"I must say I do not know. I hnve
treated Mr. Peary as a friend, and un
til I know moro about tho situation I
shall continue to do the same."
"Would you be willing to meet Peary
in a debate when he gets here?"
"As far as I am concerned the Peary
incident Is closed. Mr. Peary is not
the dictator of my affairs, and I do
not care to say anything further about
him."
"Did you know Mr. Whitney when
you had met him on your return to
Etah?"
"No; ho Introduced himself, but I
did not catch his name and did not
know It until the following day."
"What caused you to have such con
fidence in Mr. Whitney that you en
trusted your instruments to him?"
"I knew him by name, and circum
stances that arose while I was with
him justified my confidence. I gave
him the instruments to bring back be
cause I thought they would be less lia
ble to Injury on board his vessel than
if I took them across glaciers and
rough ice covered country."
"Why was it necessary to intrust
your records to Mr. Whitney under a
pledge of secrecy?"
"I do not think I am bound to di
vulge to Mr. Peary tho news of our
work. I am perfectly willing to give,
it to the world and have given It to the
world. There Is no reason why I
should give any news to Peary. I was
perfectly willing to give it to the
world, and I have done so."
"Knowing that a ship was coming
north this summer for Whitney, why
did you not wait for that ship and
come direct to New York instead of
going to South Greenland and sailing
from there to Copenhagen?"
"I knew that the Danish government
ship would get me homo betore Whit
ney's ship."
"What Is your opinion of the story
told by the negro Ilenson of the In
formation he obtained from your two
Eskimos?"
"Well, tho Eskimos were bound down
by me not to tell any one whero they
had been. I should like you to havt
Henson here and cross question him
yourself."
"What instruments did you have
with you from Capo Thomas Hubbard
and back?"
"Sextant, artificial horizon, three
compasses, three chorometers, watch
es, thermometers, barometers and a
pedometer."
"What observations did you make at
the pole and how many and what was
tho altitude of the sun?"
"The altitude of the sun gave us our
positions. That Is all there Is to say
about that. Wo made regular astro
nomical observations such as would
be made by the compass and other in
struments. Wo merely made the nau.
tlcal observations that a captain
would make aboard a ship."
"Will you describe In detail any sin
gle observation taken by you at tho
north pole, with the exact figures of
the results and the corrections ap
plied?" "Not at this present moment. I will
describe every one of them in detail
when they go to the University of Co
penhagen. They will go there within
two months. Tho entire records will
be delivered to tho university, and
after that they will go to everybody
that wants to examine them."
"In your original narrative you said:
The night of April 7 was made nota
ble by the swinging of the sun at mid
night over the northern ico. Our obser
vation on April 0 placed the camp in
latitude 80 degrees 30 minutes longi
tude 04 degrees 2 minutes.' The as
tronomers say that in the latitude yon
mention tho midnight sun would have
been visible on April 1 and that if you
really saw it for tho first time on April
7 you must have been 550 miles from
the pole instead of 234, ns you sup
posed. Therefore to have reached the
pole on April 21 you would have had
to travel thirty-nine miles dally. What
is your explanation of the apparent
discrepancy i?
"The northern horfeoo at midnight
had been so obscure that we could pot
toll whether the sun was below the
horizon or above It We were not
making observations at midnight I
hnve sold that It was possible to sec
the sun on midnight of that day. My
impression Is that we were absolutely
unable to see the sun the midnight be
fore that. Tho horizon was obscured."
Thursday, Sept 30, has been selected
as the date of the banquet of tho Dan
ish societies of Greater New York In
Dr. Cook's honor. Tho banquet of the
Arctic Club of America will bo held at
the Waldorf-Astoria tonight.

New Jersey Governor Comes Out For
Direct Primaries.
Nownrk, X. J., Sept. 23 Governor
Fort of Now Jersey In un uddress here
on "Political Conditions In New Jer
sey" aligned himself squarely with
Governor Hughes of New York on the
subject of direct primaries.
"Governor Hughes' declaration has
the right ring," he said. "Every legis
lator must be free to exercise his own
judgment. He must bo his own man
and owe no allegiance to any other
master than the people. The way to
secure that Is by tho direct primary.
Wo can only get that In New Jersey
by overthrowing present lobby condi
tions at tho statchousc.
"I love tho party of Abraham Lin
coln nnd want to stay in it, but I do
not want to see it boss ridden and un
responsive to tho popular will. That
overy boss is against the direct pri
mary is plenary evidence that it is
right.
"Bosslsm is tho serious political
problem of our time."

GUNNISON TUNNEL OPENING.
Government's Great Irrigation Proj
ect Is Formally Inaugurated by
the Nation's Chief Execu
tive at Montrose, Colo.
Montrose, Colo., Sept 23. President
Taft has crossed tho continental di
vide and today finds himself west of
the Rocky mountains. For twenty
four hours tho president has traveled
with the panorama of the white cap
ped peaks of the rockies in view, and
at one time the tram ran for a mile or
more through fields of snow. At Ten
nessee pass the climb to the top of the
divide carried the president to an alti
tude of 10,240 feet.
For the first time the president trav
eled through the Grand canyon of the
Arkansas, where at one place the half
mile deep canyon is so narrow that
there is not room for the track and
the river, and the former has to be
carried over the rushing wnters by
means of a hanging bridge, suspended
by cables imbedded In tho rocky walls
of tho chasm.
Tlie president did not feel the alti
tude, and nt the end of his first week
of "one night stands" ho Is In splen
did health despite the efforts of the
hospitable wost and Its elaborate and
never ending breakfasts, luncheons
and dinners. Mr. Taffs voice also is
in the best of condition. There was a
little huskluess for a time, but it has
disappeared.
At an eminence overlooking the val
ley of the Garden of the Gods, with
the rockies in the background and
dark clouds playing tag with Pike's
peak, Mr. Taft expressed his admira
tion of tho view with unrestrained en
thusiasm.. Secretary of tho Interior Ballinger
assistcd President Taft today jp the
formal opening of the Gunnison tunnel
at Montrose, Colo., tho greatest irriga
tion project the government has ever
undertaken.
The tunnel is 80,000 feet (six miles)
long, 11 by 13 feet Inside measurement
nnd lined throughout with cement. Tho
main canal is thirty feet wide at the
bottom, eighty-throe feet wide at the
top, and tho average depth of water Is
ten feet. Tho capacity Is 1,300 cubic
feet of water per second.
Tho tunnel cost over $5,000,000. It
turns tho flow of the Gunnison river
Into the .magnificently constructed
bore, main and distributing canals,
which will Irrigate 150,000 acres of
choice land now seniinrld.
Mr. Taft announces that he will not
make his speecli upon the subject of
the conservation of tho natural re
sources until ho reaches Spokane on
Sept. 28. It wns at Spokane that the
controversy between Mr. Balllnger and
Chief Forester Pinchot arose, and Mr.
Taft regards it ns probably the best
place to discuss the issue.
At Pueblo thirty-two sheriffs of Colo
rado counties, in the costumes of the
plains, joined the party in a special
car to act as a guard of honor to the
president during his stay In the state.
In khaki trousers, blue fianncl shirts,
peaked hats, cartridge belts and pistol
handles protruding from holsters they
surrounded tlie president at every stop.
Advance arrangements had been made
for mounts for tlie sheriffs, nnd they
had a bunch of bronchos awaiting
them at each city visited.
