SR. FRED COOK’S WHOLE FAMILY
HAS DISAPPEARED FROM VIEW
Friends of the Explorer,
Charitably Inclined, De
clare Dr. Cook’s Mind
Gave Way Under the
Rigors of Arctic Cold.
NEW YORK. —That Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, who today Is a man without
a country, is mentally unbalanced, is
the explanation some of his few re
maining friends are making of the
colossal hoax of which he made all
civilization his victim. Seeking a
charitable explanation for his perpe
tration of what is branded ‘‘the most
monumental fake of history,” they
declare that his mind must have giv
en way under the rigors of the Arctic
cold and that the hardships of his
years in the extreme north bred the
hallucination that he had really ac
complished the discovery of the pole
succeeding where five hundred previ
ous leaders fsad failed in centuries of
effort.
H. Wellington Wack, Dr. Cook’s for
mer attorney, and one of his stanchest
friends, said, in discussing the verdict
of the University of Copenhagen:
"Would a sane man have had any
thing to do with Capt. A. W. Loose
and George H. Dunkle at a critical
moment, when he was the target for
attacks from all over the world?”
TWO STILL
BELIEVE IN COOK.
Today the discredited explorer, in
hiding and offering no defense, is not
only a man rejected of his native land
and the world, but a man deprived of
the belief of the hosts of friends who
flocked to him in the first hours of
his false success. Of all the crowds
that hailed him as a conqueror but
a few months ago, only two today
expressed any remnant of faith in him
—his brother, AVilliam A, Cook, the
Brooklyn milk dealer whose partner
the explorer was, and Captain B. S.
Osborn.
A new factor in the case Wednes
day was the disappearance of Mrs.
Cook and the explorer's children.
They are said to be in a boarding
school; Mrs. Cook's whereabouts were
as much a mystery as her husband’s.
This development gave credence to
the reports that Dr. Cook had quit
America forever, and that he would
spend the rest of his days in hiding
or seclusion, living on the proceeds
of his lecture tour. He Is said to have
SIOO,OOO in a Brooklyn bank, and
more funds elsewhere, and it is stated
that one of his last known acts in
New York was to withdraw $4,000 in
cash he had deposited with a local
trust company.
CLUB MAY
EXPEL COOK.
Wednesday night the Explorers’
club of New York, of which Dr. Cook
is a member and which has been
among the foremost of his supporters,
elects a president. Cook, even up to
the moment of the Copenhagen ver
dict, was looked upon as the only pos
sible man to head the club. Wed
nesday a dozen members declared that
there was practically no possibility
of his name being mentioned as a can
didate.
A move for his expulsion from the
club was reported to be under way
Wednesday.
. Not only is the alleged polar dis
coverer branded a fraud, but his past
career, including the much contested
claim to the ascent of Mount McKin
ley in Alaska, is to be closely inves
tigated by the National Geographical
society, which announced at Washing
ton that the findings would be given
to the world.
the press today has a general note of
regret that courtesy in a way inter
national should have turned out so
disastrously.
The Koebenhavn says:
"Cook’s abasing of the university is
his greatest shame. Fortunately, the
university itself tells the world of its
mistake."
The Politiken says:
"Frankly, we regret only that an
honorary degree was bestowed on this
man by the university. Only one mem
ber of the council of the Institution
advised against such a step.”
In several editorials it is pointed
out that other cities envied Copen
hagen its opportunity of being the
first to welcome Cook.
COPENHAGEN
INDIGNANT.
COPENHAGEN. —The final blow to
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the American
explorer, whose claim to have dis
covered the North Pole was prac
tically repudiated by the University
of Copenhagen, Tuesday, wiping away
the last chance of a possible mistake,
was struck Wednesday, when Prof.
Elis Stromgren, head of the univer
sity commission, declared Cook to be
nothing more than a bungling cheat
Prof. Stromgren at first was among
the most ardent supporters of Cook,
and it was he who insisted that the
university inquiry he carried to the
end, when other members of the com
mission desired to drop the whole af
fair in disgust.
f “We have teen hoaxed in the most
shameful manner,” said Prof. Strom
grf/i-Wednesday. “And the man who
hoaxed us was one through whom we
thought to honor a great nation.
“Dr. Cook was supported by Mr.
Egan, the American minister, and
moreover, he received the congratula
tions of President Taft. Cook’s con
duct is disgraceful.”
The support Minister Egan gave

The Boy Mayor

S. M. (Sherble) Becker, the former
“boy mayor” of Milwaukee, who has
gone to New York and paid the start

stoek exchange, rented a $30,000 a year
suite of rooms in the Plaza hotel and
set for Gotham to fall. Becker said lie

Danish Women Support Dr. Cook
and Believe He Found the Pole
NEW YORK.—“Poor Cook! Poor Cook!
My daughter wept when she saw the New
York papers at quarantine this morning.”
This was tho comment of Maurice Egan,
the American minister to Denmark, on
the finding of the commission of the con
sistory of the University of Copenhagen
on the Brooklyn explorer’s “proofs” that
he had reached tho North Pole.
Mr. Egan, with his wife and daughter,
Miss Carmelita Egan, reached the city
on the Scandanavian-American liner Oscar
IT Wednesday, en route to Washington,
where they will spend the holidays with
Mr. Egan’s other daughter, Mrs. Jerome
Elmer Murphy. Mr. Egan brings with him
a hand-painted porceJain cup as a gift
from the king of Denmark to his first
grandson, a seven-months-old baby.

WASHINGTON.—Any doubt that
the whole force of the Taft adminis
tration Is to be behind the Investiga
tion demanded by both sides of the
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy was
dispelled by events in and out of con
gress Tuesday. There is now no ques
tion that President Taft is as eager
for the merciless probing of the whole
matter as he was reluctant to admit
the necessity for it.
A motive much deeper than will
ingness to do Justice to Secretary Bal
linger is ascribed to President Taft
by senators, representatives, and oth
ers active in politics. Men who are
in a position to know the sentiment
of Mr. Taft declared Tuesday night
that he has at last become convinced
of the truth of what his friends have
been telling him for many weeks—of
what he has hitherto laughed at—that
there lies behind the attack on Mr.
Ballinger a more or less definitely or
ganized movement to discredit the
Taft administration, especially by
spreading the impression that the so
called “Roosevelt policies” are in un
friendly hands; that Mr. Ballinger
was made the target only on the the
ory that he offered for the present the
most vulnerable point in the admin
istration.
One Committee.
In the opinion of members of con

the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy will
not be conducted by a Joint commit
tee of the senate and house, but by a
committee of one of the two houses,

Representative Payne of New York,
a floor leader of the house, said Wed
nesday that he believes there is no
doubt an investigation will be ordered,
and that the indications are that it
will be conducted by the senate com
mittee on public lands. He added that
he also believes the president’s opinion
of Secretary Ballingers correct atti

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 22, 1909.
SENT $40,010
BACK TS ERIN
The Famous Irish Leader
Returned to England
Wednesday. Found Irish
in America Responsive.
NEW YORK. —T. P. O’Connor, the
famous Irish leader in the house of
commons, returned to England on
the Mauretania Wednesday. Mr.
O’Connor spent a number of weeks in
this country, raising funds to aid the
liberal party in the coming election.
“I have sent more than $40,000 back
to Ireland myself from this country,”
said Mr. O’Connor, “and I have as
sisted in the organization of a power
ful committee which will keep up the
good work.
Although I knew of the sympathy
for Ireland in this country even I
was astonished at the readiness with
which the funds were raised. Such
towns as Grand Rapids gave as much
as $3,000. Ten thousand dollars were
raised in a few days in Philadelphia.”
Mr. O’Connor said that he was firm
ly convinced that the hopes of Ire
land lay in the liberal party and that
it would be re elected by even a larger
majority than before.
“I have all of the confidence in the
world in Mr. Asquith,” he said.
Mrs. Philip Snowden, one of the
leaders ot the English suffragettes,
was also a passenger on the Maure
tania. She says that she is going
back to work tor the election of the
liberals.
enhagen is, of course, final,” Mr. Egan
continued. “It does not say that Dr.
Cook is an imposter, and no one in Den
mark believes that today. I myself firmly
believe in Cook, but his proofs are Insuffi
cient. He, at least, believes that he
reached the pole.
“It is not true that the repudiation of
Mr. Cook’s statements in Denmark was
due to the influence of President Tafft
or myself. Both of us were extremely
guarded. The Danes love America and
Americans, and they will accept the word
of any reputable American citizen for
anything within reason.
“The women, especially, are firm sup
porters of Dr. Cook, and a woman’s Intu.
ltlon Is seldom wrong. But I am not sur.
prised at the finding. It was foreshad
owed before I left Copenhagen.’’

CONGRESSMAN
T. K. HARDWICK
NUKES REPLY
Issues Sharp Statement in
Answer to Mr. O. R.
Eve's Latest Card. Will
Contest Richmond Coun
ty With Him. Says Eve’s
Attacks Are Unjusti
fiable.
Congressman Hardwick arrived in
the city yesterday afternoon and
leaves this afternoon for his home at
Sandersville, to spend the holidays.
While in Augusta Mr. Hardwick had
several interviews with members of
the Flood Commission and with others
interested in the effort to improve the
Savannah river and to protect Au
gusta from a re-eurrence of floods. Ib
is assisting in making the arrange
ments for the hearing of Jan. Nth be
fore the House Committee on Rivers
and Harbors.
When asked by a representative of
The Herald, what he had to say in
reference to Mr. O. R. Eve’s latest
“card,” published this morning in the
Chronicle, Mr. Hardwick said:
“Mr. Eve’s continued harping on my
failure to attend the meetings of the
so-called Rivers and Harbors "Con
gress,” is the silliest of rot. I was
not a delegate to that body, not hav
ing been appointed as such either by
the governor, the city of Augusta, or
any commercial body entitllod to rep
resentation therein. Not being gift
ed with the butt-in-sky proclivities of
Mr. Eve it never oceured to me that
1 was under special obligation to at
tend it. Others of the Georgia
congressmen did not do so, and yet
none of them aroused Mr. Eve’s ire
by such failure except myself.
“Mr. Eve seeks to apply to me the
‘rotation in office’ theory, when the
congressional campaign reaches the
proper stage I shall demonstrate to
the people that under the doctrine,
when all my utterances on the subject
are considered, Mr. Eve is In no event
a possible beneficiary—Resides, at the
time I opposed Mr. Fleming, in 1902,
Mr. Eve thoroughly demonstrated that
he did not believe in the doctrine be
cause he supported Fleming. When
he had no selfish interest at stake he
took no stock in It. lie only espouses
it when he hopes to ‘rotate’ himself in,
and me out. As to his real belief on
this subject I appeal from Eve the
candidate in 1909 to Eve the voter in
1902.
“Mr. Eve seems to be much exer
cised because in 1907 I voted for the
salary increase. Why was ho less
exercised on the subject in 1908, when
a year and a half after I cast that vote
I was unanimously re-nominated
(with Mr. Eve’s vote and support) and
unanimously re-elected to congress,
and when the democracy of this dis
trict, the virtuous and economical
Mr. Eve raising no voice in protest
‘endorsed and approved’ unanimously
my record in congress. Was Mr.
Eve loss virtuous in 1908 than he Is
in 1909? Or, less intelligent? Is it
not true that the only reason for his
sudden conversion to economy In this
matter is because he now wants to
rt.n for cong.es:? pnd thinks he can
use this species of demagoglsm
against me?
“When the duties and responsibili
ties of the office, and its expenses,
are considered I am confident of my
ability to demonstrate to my consti
tuents that the vote I cast on this
subject was absolutely right, if the
interest of the masses is to be consid
ered, and poor men are to be allowed
to hold or remain in office. Any in
telligent and capable representative
of the people in the American con
gress ought to be worth the salary.
When the proper time comes I think
I can demonstrate to our people that
I have been worth it to them. If not,
the sooner they change representa
tives the better. If it should happen
that Eve is ever elected to congress,
however, I will agree that $7,500 sal
ary is far too much for him. Even
$5,000 would be grossly excessive, I
think $2,500 would be liberal pay for
him, all things considered.
"I observe that this wonderful young
man, who uses such courteous and
gentlemanly language in his "cards,”
says he is going to 'force me’ to
a certain position In reference to fed
eral aid for good roads. Postponing
for the moment, the discussion of the
merits of this question, so loosely
stated by him, I beg to inquire
whether or not his zeal In this cause
is accelerated by the fact that the
Eve ‘gravel-pit’ having' already made
conquest of the public treasury of
Richmond county Is now sighing for
other worlds to conquer and looks,
with longing eyes, upon the federal
treasury at Washington.
“Mr. Eve need not alarm himself
about Washington county. On a score
of hard-fought fields I have demon
strated my strength In Washington.
Not once has he ever demonstrated his
ability to carry Richmond.
"Since Mr. Eve is a brave ‘card
wrlter,’ indeed, a vicious one, and
since I very much fear that a pro
longation of this controversy In the
newspapers would only weary the pub
lic, I would suggest to Idm that there

VICTORY m
ESTRADA WON
OT AMERICANS
NEW ORLEANS, La.—General Es
trada attributes his victory at Rama
over the Zelayan army to the skill
of American sharpshooters, according
to dispatches received here Wednes
day. The Americans started a panic
among the government troops and
their officers by picking the latter off.
The officers’ uniforms and epaulotts
made them particularly conspicuous
and the Estradans fought as did the
troopers in South Africa. General
Estrada sent this telegram to Consul
General Aussman:
"Our armies at Rama have won a
complete triumph.: The enemy was
scattered and his losses heavy. Amer
ican sharpshooters under Col. Conrad
caused havoc among the officers and
deaths were many. We are now go
ing on to Managua, whore our suc
cess is sure.”
Col. Conrad left New Iberia, La., hia
home, five weeks ago on the stcarnet
Imperator. after having superintended
the loading of the steamship Utsleia
for Port Barrios and Bluefiolds.
Adu.iional troops were rushed to
the rebels Wednesday, the guard
the Blueflelds about Blueflelds be
about Blueflelds being withdrawn and
replaced by citizen volunteers.
Besides this move, many citizens
have enlisted in the ranks of the
main army.
Wednesday tho work of preparing
for tho final advance on the capital
was rushed, and every available boat
was put in shape for the expedition.
Tho plans arrnged call for the Es
tradiol forces to make the trip to
Greytown by boat down the coast,
from there to proceed up tho
San Juan river to Managua Lake and
on to tlte capital. The pursuit of the
broken and panic stricken govern,

today that a big detachment had
been ordered to proceed on the cap
