DANES DON'T BELIEVE 08. COOK
FAKED RECOBBS, KB IS DECEABED
One Nr Scientist De
clares .affidavits Made
To the Effect That
Cook Hired Men to Man
ufacture Records Too
Improbable To Believe.
COPENHAGEN —A summary of the af
fidavits of persons claiming to have aid
ed Dr. Frederick A. Cook, in preparing
his polar data, published in London and
New York, was read here with amaze
ment. Scientific circles are inclined to
be incredulous regarding the charges
and some persons like Dr. Carl Burrau,
the astronomer, considered them so im
probable that their effect will be to
strengthen confidence in Or. Cook.
Affidavits of George H. Dunkle, brok
er, Captain August W. Loose, seaman,
the two men asserting Dr. Frederick A
Cook hired them for $4,000 with the
promise of additional bonus of SSOO to
one of them to fabricate astronomical
observations and calculations o* latitude
and longitude for submission to the Uni
versity of Copenhagen were published in
the New York Times Thursday morn
ing. The men admit their reason for
making the affidavits was that the ex
plorer only paid them $260 for their
work.
Dunkle tells how he met Cook and
caused him to become interested in
Loose. Dunkle says they went to Cook
with the idea that he wanted some one
to help him prepare evidence clever
enough to fool the Danish Savants. The
two men decided that the explorers orig
inal narrative bore traces of fraud, and
that Cook would welcome the right kind
assistance the carrying out the “blufi”'.
Also there is evidence that Dunkle in
tended to reserve the lions share of the
spoils for himself.
Loose Doubts Discovery.
NEW YORK—Captain A. W. Loose,
master pilot and navigator, who made the
affidavit that he formulated a series of
observations and data for Dr. * Cook at
Cook’s request since his return from the
Arctic regions talked Thursday at his
home in Brooklyn concerning statements
made in the affidavit. “I went to Dr.
Cook,” said Loose, “thinking I might
assist him, but never expected to do
such extended work. A short talk with
Cook convinced me he knew almost
nothing about navigation. He was igno
rant of some of the essentials of the
science.
A person not accurate might have
thought himself at the pole when only
within 60 miles of it; as I got deeper
into the matter I began to suspect Cook
was never out of sight of land.”
UNKNOWN MAN IS
BURIED IN SAVANNAH
Special to The Herald.
SAVANNAH, Ga—The body of the
unknown man found self slain with a
bullet in his brain east of the city Sun
day afternoon last, now rests in the
strangers burial ground in Laurel Grove
cemetery—the Potter’s field of Savan
nar. Although coroner Goette kept the
body from Sunday to Thursday no one
ever came to identify it. It was pretty
well established that the man thought
to be C. M. Ford, came to Savannah
from New York by steamer on Friday 01
last week but that was ail that was
found out about him. He wore clothing
that had been purchased in different
cities of the country and seemed to
have travelled a good deal. He was
well dressed and was apparently a man
of refinement. Every effort was made
to find out who the stranger was but
they were unavailing. A photograph was
received from Richmond, Va., today,
where a C. M. Ford, who has recently
been to Savannah and who Is now away
from home lives but it was not a pic
ture of Uie dead man. This is one of
the most mysterious suicides SaVannah
has seen in sometime.

HELP THEOBPHMIS
Almost every one is acquainted
with the great work of charity being
done by the Georgia Industrial Home,
founded about ten years ago by the
lamented Dr. W. E. Mumford, and lo
cated at Macon, Ga. This is possibly
one of the greatest and most worthy
purely charitable institutions in the
whole South, but having no church
or any kind of organization behind il,
sometimes it becomes a big question
as to the how of raising money enough
to keep this noble work going. While
our good people give their thousands
for higher education, and other pur-
We are sadly in need as we try
to car e for the 125 destitute, home
less, and helpless children at the Geor
gia Industrial Home—so as one in
charge of the raising of the neces
sary funds find it necessary to plan
continually.
My plan now for a larger Christmas
offering is to get as many enlisted to
help me as possible. Reader how
about you? Won’t you help me raise
some money for this noble purpose?
If you will, please clip out the fol
lowing agreement, sig n your name
and address plainly, and mail to me
at 410 Second St., Macon, Ga.
“I hereby agree to raise at least
ONE DOLLAR as a Christmas

gia Industrial Home, hetween now

It is understood that each one sign

which will have printed on it sixty
dollar marks, representing the sup
port of an orphan for one year, and
while the obligation is only for one
dollar the holder will be allowed the
right to raise on e dollar for every
dollar mark on the card. It will be
easy to rais e this S6O for a cause like
this, but each one doing so will be
given a prize of ten dollars in gold,
and to each one raising half this
amount will be given a prize of five
dollars in gold.
