A summary of the affidavits of persons claiming to have aided Dr Cook In the preparation of his polar data, published in London and New York today, was read hare with amazement. Scientific circles are Inclined to be incredulous regarding the charges, and some persons like Dr Carl Burrtui, astronomer, consider them so Improbable that their effect will be to strengthen confidence In Dr Cook. In an Interview Dr Burrau said: "Passages In the story telegraphed here give me the Impression that the matter Is thoroughly untrustworthy. Take for Instance the statement about Capella. Capella neither rises nor sets in the polar regions, but remains fixed over the horizon.

In order to make observations at the north pole, a more extended and a more detailed knowledge Is necessary than is enjoyed usually by the average ship's captain. "It will, however, be easy for the university to determine the truth or otherwise -of the charges." Commodore Novgaard, noted explorer, and Prof Olufsen, secretary of the Danish Geographical society, also discredit the accusations against Dr Cook. The National Tldende in an editorial, says: "It is natural that calumnies should increase when Dr -Cook's papers are on the eve of examination, the object of his accusers being to Influence the committee." 3 1 Codfish l-LS).

These sworn statements carry wtihin themselves their own proof or disproof. "That is to say, if the papers now In the hands of the university of Copenhagen contain any considerable portion of the boreal observations Which Cupt August Loose says he worked out by the reverse route' no farther north than the Gramatan inn, in Bronxville, the deduction is that Dr Cook felt no confidence in the adequacy of his own proofs. "If, on the contrary, the Copenhagen records show that Dr Cook mads no evident use of the calculations Capt Loose says he supplied, it will be fair to assume that he accepted them only as checks on his own data. The Inquiry will then revert to Us first status whether the original observations of Dr Cook are sufficient?" Asked flatly if he had or had not withdrawn from Dr Cook's affairs, Mr WacK Rutd "This is not the time for an announcement. It might be thought I had deserted Dr Cook in his need.

He may be' delirious. In a sauatariun or on the ocean unable to defend himself." A close friend to Mr Wack relteiated. however, that Mr Wack had long ao decided to close dealings with a client who did not keep his counsel informed of his Intentions or movements. To this phase of the situation Mr Wack made this contribution: "Dr Cook," he said, "has disappeared of his own volition and not by the suasion of his friends. I last heard from him by telephone on Tuesday, Nov 23.

I had seen him personally two days before. He was highly nervous, continually clasped Ills hands over his stomach as If In pain and complained of gastric distress. "Last night Dr Cook's friend. Charles Wack. who first came out with a denial that the doctor had sailed for Italy on Saturday, Nov 27, by the Caronla, confessed to me that ho hadn't the faintest idea where the doctor now is, and that he hadn't heard from him since Nov t.

"My very urgent letters to the doctor hav remained unanswered, although they demanded a reply from any man solicitous for his own affairs, and although they were addressed in the care of his brother, who is supposed to know his whereabouts." Mr Wack, however, did receive a letter from Mrs Cook on Dec 6, dated Dec 4 and potted Dec 5 In Brooklyn, asking him to discontinue all expenses on the doctor's account and tp forward certain papers which Mr Wack understood were rffidaits bearing on the doctor's disputed ascent of Mt McKlnley. These affidavits the doctor originally Intended to take with him to Europe, where they could be available tor the university of Copenhagen. If desired. Others of Dr CookS friends admitted tonight that Capt Loose consulted him freely and even occupied rooms adjoining his at the Gramatan Inn. Whether this propinquity served as an opportunity for cooperation merely or for collusion Is a point on which not even Capt Loose cared to pronounce positively.

"The men have admitted themselves dishonest. I know both of them. "Dunkle approached me a short time ago and asked me to introduce him to John R. Bradley, Cook's backer.

The Specialty Shop, 122 Tremont St LYNN, Dec 9 The new clubhouse owned by the Lynn women's club, at Broad and Nahant sts, was dedicated this evening in the presence of a large crowd, with Gov Eben S. Draper, representing the commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Pres Arthur E. Santry, representing the city of Lynn, as guests. The state federation of women's clubs was also represented by Miss Caroline S.

Atherton, its first vice president. The reception was held in a cozy reception room on the first floor. Those in the line with the governor and the other guests were Mrs Florence M. Breed, chairman of the dedication committee; Mr and Mrs Henry Tapleyi who entertained Gov Draper and Majs Vaughn and Sears of his staff at dinner; Miss Atherton and Mrs Lydia M. Houghton, president of the clubhouse corporation.

During the reception there was music by an orchestra. The dedication exercises were held on the stage of the auditorium and were opened with prayer- by Rev hirnest J. Dennen, rector of St Stephen's Episcopal church. The first speaker was Mrs Breed and on behalf of the organization she extended the congratulations of all of tlie women's clubs to the corporation that has had charge of the erection of the building. Gov Draper was greeted with great applause.

He said that it was the first time he had ever had the pleasure of taking part in the dedication of a building of this kind. He appreciated the honor and said that he was glad to find that one of "his kind" had taken part in the erection of the structure, referring to Henry W. Breed, chairman of the building committee. The governor Spoke of the great principals that existed in cooperation and said that in the business world It was called by another name, corporation; he was glad to find that tills organization had both. By way of illustration he spoke of great railroads that had been made great by little side lines and this same spirit of cooperation existed everywhere.

He cautioned the great body not to forget the Individual, but to give it a chance to grow. The speaker said that one thing that had impressed him very much wherever he went was the fact that great bodies of men and women are giving much of their time to the improvement of their surroundings. This was noticed in politics, and could be found in "rotten republican Philadelphia and rotten democratic New York." He closed with extending 'the greetings of the commonwealth to the clubs. Mr Santry made some interesting remarks for the city of Lynn. Greetings from Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Mrs Grace G.

Watrous, first president of the corporation, and Mrs Philip N. Moore, president of the general federation of women's clubs of the state, were read. Others who spoke were Mrs May L.

Evidence in the present trial has not brought out as yet the responsibility of any of the executive heads of the company. Indications that the defence of the six former employes of the American sugar refining company would be long drawn out was given today at the resumption of the trial of the men for alleged conspiracy, when at the suggestion of their counsel the term of the TJ circuit court which is trying them was extended six weeks. The prosecution had suggested a month's extension. The prosecution today turned its attention chiefly to James F. Benderna'gel, former cashier at the company's Williamsburg plant, and brought forward another witness, who testified that he had leen Bendernagel pay money without to customs inspectors on various occasions.

Repeats Story of What He Did, But Does Not Attempt to Say What Use Has Been Made of His Work.

NEW YORK, Dec 9 Affidavits of two men asserting that Dr Frederick A. Cook hired them for $4000, with promise of an additional bonus of $500 to one of them, to fabricate astronomical observations and calculations of latitude and Tongtitude for submission to the university of Copenhagen, were published in the New York Times this morning. The men who say that they helped Cook in preparing records of a Journey to the north pole, George H. Dunkle, an Insurance broker, and Capt August Weilel Loose, a seaman, admit that their reason for making the affidavits was tiiat the explorer only paid them 1260 for their work. Dunkle's story tells how he came to meet Dr Cook and caused htm to become Interested in Capt Loose.

Dunkle makes no bones of the fact that he and Capt Loose went to Cook with the Idea that he wanted some one to help him prepare evidence clever enough to fool the Danish savants. Between them the two men decided beforenand that the explorer's original narrative bore traces of fraud, and that Cook would welcome the right kind of assistance in carrying this out. Also there is evidence that Dunkle Intended to reserve the lion's share of the spoils for himself. Referring to Capella, Capt Loose in his sworn statement says: "In working out the observations on stars at Anoratok, I experienced somo difficulty because Dr Cook had made no observations of any kind there. He did not even have a record of time.

It was necessary that we get a line on some fixed stars which could be used in establishing and checking up the time and the rate of his chronometer watches. I determined that Capella, which is a fine star for observation purposes, would be visible from Anoratok. After some little calculation I determined that Capella would be visible In the southern horizon, but on reference to a volume of the 'Arctic Pilot' giving descriptions of the shores of Smith sound, I found that there was mention of a high stretch of cliffs to the southward of Anoratok, and noing abruptly from the beach. "The elevation of Capella above the southern horizon was so low that I was afraid an Investigation would show that it could- not be seen from Dr Cook's Igloo. Consequently, 1 calculated the time-when Capella would appear In the northern horizon, so that It could be seen out over the Ice, as there could be no question of the cliffs Interfering with the observation in that direction.

1 also calculated Capella in the western horizon for a longitude sight, and, assuming the longitude of the point which Dr sC6ok had placed on the chart as Anoratok to be correct, this longitude sight enabled me to give him a start for his chronometer time and his difference from Greenwich mean time. Capt Loose talked today at his home in Brooklyn concerning the statements made in the affidavit. "I went to Dr Cook," said Capt Loose, 'tHinkimg that I might be of some assistance to him, but I never expected when I approached him to do such extended work an I "have done. A sl.ort talk with Dr Cook convinced ma that he knew almost nothing about navigation. He was ignorant of some of the essentials of the science.

"At first I considered it at least likely that Dr Cook had got near the pole, say 89 degrees, or within 60 miles. Even his observations would have given him that accuracy. Later I was forced Into the water. It was pitch dark, except for the glare from the holds, una we never saw htui again. "Our boat was swnmped by a big .1 i.

He traced the history of the big telephone combine, of which he is the head, from the day of its inception down to the present and gave his views upon public supervision of n-lephone and telegraph companies. He told the committee that the American telephone and telegraph company purchased approximately 300,000 shares of the Western Union company of a par value of $30,000,000.

He did not care to state the price. This deal, he said, was closed the present fall. Concurrently with the negotiations or just De-fore it the purchase of shares of New York telephone company stock, which had been held by the Western Union telegraph company, was secured. This is the first time this feature of the deal was made known. The par value of tli is stock, he said, was about tl6.u0Q.0O0.

Mr Vail said that about 1,500,000 telephone subscribers using independent telephones were now accommodated over the wires of the American telephone and telegraph company. Telling of hfs objection to connection of his company's and independent wires, he said: "It gives the smaller companies the benefit of our big system which wo have built up at a large cost."

"Spitzer asked me," continued Hyatt, 'to go to James F. Bendernagel's office to be introduced to him. I declined to go there. I asked him what rent the company would charge the government for the new offices they were prepariret for the weighers.

The limits of error were so great that the recording of sec-ends would not be of the slightest value In adding accuracy, declared the caD-tain. "Still, of course, Dr Cook could have looked at his instruments, seen the seconds and put them down conscientiously If in ignorance of their lack of importance." As to whether he thought it possible for Dr Cook to declare now that these calculations and observations by Capt Loose were simply for comparison of his own. Capt Loose said: "Dr Cook will probably say this, but why did he need any such calculations and reckonings backward as I made for him?
