arctic Jennie, with 1 lurry Whitney, the New Haven big game hunter, on rit. rim arrived here from the tire roust by way of Indian Harbor, l.abra-dor. Mr. Whitney win questioned regarding the statements imiil" to liim bv Or. Fred erick A.

Cook in Creenland. said Cook arrived at Annafok in April of this year and declared that he bud reached the north pole a year ago. He pledged Vbit.ney, hwever. not to cl Commander Peary, who to he informed only that. Cook had gone far-tber north than Henry's previous record.

fl decreet fi Doctor Conk told Whitney that he had ri.voicp!i..-hcd nil be expected to, and more beside, and that he was now through with the northern country. Whititey did not communicate the latter part of this statement to Commander I'cury. Continuing, Mr. Whitney said that Dr. Cool; had complained to him of IVary's takinr over his hou and stores, but declared that he bad suffered no unfair-cs.

Peary's -tew aid. William Pritchard. was prcent when these statements were made. Like Whitney, be was pledged to secrecy by Dr. Cook.

Murphy, Teary'f boatswain, who wa in charge of the stores, was absent at Ktah on thi day end did nt hear Dr. Cook's, communications. There were two houses on the dreen-land shore one et Annatok, holding Cook's and another at Klah, holding Peary's stores. The three whit? men, Whitney, Murphy and Pritchard, some time occupiid one and sometimes Cue other of these house. Murphy was in charge of both thes? liouses.

He was not able to read or urite. He had written instructions from Deary, which Whitney at Peary's request, read over to him from time to time. instruction were very strin-fy-nt. They bad directed Murphy to use Cook's stores tirt and Peary's afterward. Murphy was told in them that re wa to give Dr.

took, every help it be came along in a needy condition and furthermore, the instructions implied that Murphy wa to organize an expedition to search for Cook, hut, according to Mr. Whitney, this part of the instructions worded very ambiguous-Jy. Mr. Whitney mid that Conk hud a ropy of these instruction and would doubtless make them public. Murphy treated Cook very civilly and Cook suffered no discourtesy.

When Dr. Conk mid his Eskimos, ar-'rived at the house, they had no Being too tired to drag It over tho 'roiudi ice they had left it 20 miles from F.tali. The following day some other Eskimo" went out, recovered the sledges, and brought them in. On them were Dr. Cook's instruments, clothing and food.

After passing two day at Anrmtok, where took first met Whitney, Cook for Ktah. Whitney accompanied bim. Cook remained for three day at Ktah. organizing his trip south to Cpper Naxik. The doctor had figured out roughly the date that he would be likely to pet to Upper Navik and when the Dundee whaler or the Danish store ship would reach there an.l he argued that he hail no time to lose.

He planned originally to take two Eskimos- and two sledges, but one Eskimo fell sick and this it necessary for him to cut down the lusrgaee lv could tnke onth with him. He consequently asked Whitney to take charge of the instruments with which he had made observations at thf pole. There were three cases, one containing sextant, another an artificial horizon, and the third an instrument which Mr. Whitney said lie could not recall. It possibly might have been a chronometer.

Cook left no written records with Whitney that Whitney is 'aware of. There mar have been some records, however, in the other boxes in which Cook packed his clothes and his personal effects, but Cook did not tell Whitney especially that he was leaving any written records with him. Mr. Whitney was very positive about this. After Cook' departure for the south Whitney resumed his hunting.

He took over Cook's two Eskimos, Etukishuls and Arwalalv, to show him the country WANTED: 50 MEN AND WOMEN T. F.

lb- mid be found these two Eskimos to be quite satisfactory in subordinate capacities, but lie knows nothing of their value in a da-h acre the polar sen. Continuing. Mr. Whitney- said that la-'t month, when piary on board the lioooevelt reachfil llta'i from the North after his winter's work there, he, Whitney, informed him of Dr. Cook' arrival in Apiil.

adding that Cook had told him to tell I'earv that Cook bad t'one b-'vom PiarjV lattlust noith. Peary made no comment on this, and Whitney said h-was Hot askd any other question by Peary, but the day Cook'n came to Whitney and bim what Peary's men were trying to et them to av. Ptarv's men had dantn the Eskimos nuper and maps, but the Eski mos declared thev did not understand these papers. So far us Mr. Whitney is aware, Eskimos never admitted that while with the doctor they had only progressed "two sUeps" from land.

The day the was leaving Etah for home, Whitney informed Peary that Cok had cnlni-ted to hint certain to bring home otl the vessel that was routing lor Whitney, but a tids ship hai not arrive. 1. Whitney was at a la-s what to do with this property. Peary declined, to permit Dr. CookV lw jonjrinys to he brought aboard the lloo-exelt and he put Whitney on hi honor not to include anUhinjr jadoivuiii; to Dr.

Cook in his own Indira jre. Whit-ti thereupon went ashore from the Koo-evelt, separated Dr. Cook's property from his own banae and, with the aid of Capt. Kohert Parth-tt, commander of the Pooscvelt, whom he had a-ked to help him. repiuked Cook's property in boxes.

After this had heen done Whitney and I'arttett cached alt CookV prop, erty in a cave in the ro anil left the property in charge of one of Dr. Cook' Eskimos. "It may be remarked in passing," Nr. Whitney went on "that 10 venrs fiRo J'eary did With tlie explorer, Sverdrnp, who was eiuiitu; in Smith -round, what he had done with Conk: be refused to bring back any Svcrdnip's letters or records." Asked why be did not return to Etah and Cook'- property, as he had joined the Whitney plied that he and Captain i'artlet de'nati-d that point at length. TUrtlott wanitsl him to back but he -was in a predicament because a Winchester rifle which he bad promised bis chief Eskimo was not brought tip by thi Jennie.

He did not like to go back to Etah without it. In eniniusion. Mr. Whitney dec'ared that be reprette.l Ixdiiff eniracd in- this controversy. Jle mid t'lat he had found both Dr.

Cook and Commander Peary most courteous and considerate and the' he had never met any men whoe conduct generally w-. more commendable or whose dealing with him had been more fair. Statement by Gen. Hubbard. Par Harbor, fept.
