SAYS HE ACTED HONORABLY THROUGHOUT Other Slan, HowfTfr, Wan Inhnnu Both to Illfu and Dylngr Native Who Had Served Uxpedl v Horn Faithfully. WASHINGTON, N. J., Nov. . Dr. T. S. Dedrick, who accompanied the Peary Arc tic expedition and left It while In the north, baa furnished the following statement: This statement Is the only one authorised ty me sln?e the one telegraphed over my signature enroute to New York a few davs after landing at Sydney. The mlseonstnio tlon the press put upon Dr. F. A. Cook's opinion as to the effects of the Arctic night upon the possibility of men living amiably together led to the false statement that I authorised him to explain the causes of my troubles with Mr. Peary. Dr. Cook did state that he never had anv question as to my sanity and that he never examined me. He has deplored to me ru mors which became current, and has s:ild emphatically that he wished to do all In his power to stamp out any false impres sions. I shall not go over the circumstances of my resignation any more than to touch on those phases which will correct the Impres sion that I acted Inconsiderately. The haxe thrown upon the circumstance of my going ashore led to all kinds of surmises. Among other things It was said: "None of the offi cers of the expedition had any knowledge of his intentions." Three days previously, la giving Mr. Peary my verbal resignation, and upon of fering my voluntary services, I told him that If my presence was not acceptable at his headquarters 1 should certainly land at the nearest possible point. I said I was aware that I might be defeating my pur pose in thus giving him information which he might use to thwart my plans, but I wanted him to know my strong feelings In the matter and I wanted to act manly by giving him notice of my intentions. !o Supplies at Etah Many other reporta sprang up, such as: A large depot of expedition supplies is sit uated at Ktah." There was not an ounce of supplies cn the Greenland shore, and everyone aboard knew It. Let me review: On August 21. at the ren dezvous of the two shins at Olrik's bay. I gave my verbal resignation and proffer of .voluntary services. Mr. Peary accepted the former, but wanted to deliberate over the .matter. As In both instances of previous engagements (which were dropped at his request) he had accepted my voluntary I services, I supposed he would now. The i ships separated, to meet up the shore .toward Etah, at Nerke. I wafe directed to continue on Windward, in charge of the Ea 'klmos, he being on Erik. On the 24th the hips met, stores were transferred, and, Windward remaining, all of us proceeded on Krlk toward Cape Sabine, supposed to be reached by evening. My written resignation was now . given MrPeary and embodied the following: "Yon-WUl jiever, by Aim voluntary, act of mine,--be deprived f my medical services or of a helping hand so long as you remain In the Arctic. If I am not toremaln at your " htad4narera;you. can. depend upon my be ing at the nearest possible point that I can effect a landing and maintain life. My sal ary, of coarse, (.eases from date. My full salary $1.SU0 per yean being due me, you rill please give me an order on the Peary Arctic, club. I shall refrain from making any public comment and any private com ment on the chain of circumstances leading to the rupture in our relations until we re turn to the states, when I shall Justify my course for the sake of my family and my honor, If 1 deem tt necessary." Within a lew hours of reaching Etah I requested an answer, which ' was as fol lows: "Your resignation of the 21st Is at hand and Is accepted, to take effect on your ar rival In New York, whither you will pro ceed on the returning Erik. On the receipt of your diaries and game Hats, and the medical stores now In your possession, I will authorise the club to pay you the bonus of $50 per month provided in our contract for faithful service." This ended the Incident. I asked Mr. Peary when we should anchor at Etah. He replied: "In a couple of hours." I asked how long It would take to cross the 8a btne. He replied: "Four hours. If there Is no Ice." Within a couple of hours we were at Etah. This was the only opportunity for landing. Supper was eaten and I had time to collect my diaries and game lists, write an order to Mr. Brldgman to pay the 1.8fl0 to my wife, hastily close my mall to the atates, collect my wife's letters and photo graphs, a sealskin coat and a few things Into a small bag, exchange my coat for a heavier one, ask permission of Mr. Peary to go ashore for hare seen on the beach end get in the boat which was landing an Eskimo and his effects. Offers to Stay Aroand. From shore I changed my mind and al lowed the Eskimo to shoot a hare, and kept him waiting but a minute to send the following to the ship along with the hare and the shotgun: "I stated in my resignation that I would remain at nearest point possible to your headquarters so as to be within your reach In case my medical services are needed. 1 would willingly stay at Buhlne, but If 1 were not allowed to do so the sMd miaht frustrate my plans on landing In the settle ments. This place Is near Anorltok. At that place I can come to Sabine after the middle of November. I certainly shall never voluntarily leave the Arctic until this expedition ends. I don't feel like going ashore at your house and defying any one to put me aooara. i wouia ratner be within easy reach, as 1 would be at 8abln. To stay on tms siae is tne next best tning i ran do. I assure you of my honest Inten tions to do my duty In this matter, and that Ik not to desert human beings who came north expecting thut a physician would be "with thetn. If I remain at Anorltok I shall .rail at Hablne as soon as possible and renew my offer of medical services. The matter waa turned by Mr. Peary to Mr. Brldgman, commander of the relief vessel, who when he failed to move me In my purpose, said: "You understand that you will not be Iven one ounce of food from this snip. Nor was I. I was also told that the 1.8fl0 bonus which had been acknowledged due me was now declared forfeited. ' O. F. Wyckoff. one of the summer excur- slonlsts on the relief ship, furnished me with his own rifle and some cartridges. I left Etah In two days and went overland twenty-nve nillea to Anorltok. On January I crossed to Sabine in the dark with Eskimo guides. Thirty-two per rent of the farty nail died during tne rail, one-nair or ha Eskimo men. Mr. Peary refused my ' acrvlcca and ordered me t take all my effects from Bablne and not to come back again, saying: "If you feel It your duty tu remain north that is an affair entirely your own."-' On January. 14 I wrote to Peary from Cap 8ailne asking for medicine for an Kukimo who waa a member of our party the first year. I stated that an epidemic of scarlet rash had attacked the wttlementa of Kockan and Anorltok, and said: , "You have only to let me know in case my service are required by you. 1 shall remain here until you leave Sabine on leva driven away by scarcity of natives or food." Peary Makes Haply. I received the following reply: "It Is not necessary fur you to ask for medicine in behalf of the Eskimos. Any modicine that 1 van spare will be aent Just as qjltkly if you say outright-that you want It for yourself. I will relieve your anxiety about Ahmadaglbsu by saying I am not likely to resa hint Into service, and you will therefore not be under the neces sity of seeking a hew host. 1 aw not in terested In your movements, as lung aa you " .

WALKS RIGHT UP AND NAMES HIS MAN Says Conversation Is t'nneeessary, aa Be la Sere, Though Others Deny Seeing His Black Aceaaer , Ever Before. BOSTON, Nov. . George L. O. Perry, the negro wbo pawned the watches taken from the murdered women, declared today that Alan O. Mason gave them to him. Perry was taken to the Jail In East Cam bridge, where Mason is confined, and posi tively Identified him as the man. Mason, however, betrayed no recognition of Perry by either look or word, and when questioned by the sheriff ha merely said: I do not know thla man, I never saw him before." During the day Perry was further exam ined and later taken to the Jail. The callers were shown Into the room where Mason and six others were In line. Perry walked up to Mason, who was second in position, and, pointing his finger at him, said:. "This Is thS man who gave me the watches to pawn." He was about to leave the room when the sheriff asked him If he would not like to talk with Mason In order to make euro his Identification was correct. Perry re plied there was no need of that, as he knew who the man was and had known blm for a long time. Another visitor at the police station was Mason's attorney and a woman. They did not see Perry, but If was understood the mysterious woman had been produced by the defense In the 'ope of showing that Perry himself, or some other negro, was the real "Jack the slugger." She waa one of the women who was followed by a negro In Cambridge several weeks ago. Mason's attorney believes Perry, having ta account for his possession of the watches, adopted the simple plan of throw ing the blame on a man already under ar rest and whom he had seen on the streets of Cambridge and could easily Identify. The fact that the negTo accused Mason of giving htm the watches has not con vinced the police that the mysterious crimes are solved. By arrangements made tonight Perry will be arraigned tomorrow at Cambridge on, the charge of being an accessory after the fact. The police say he waa once confined at the Lyman 8chool for Boys, having been convicted of assaulting and robbing a young woman' in this city. It haa also come. to light that on July 17 Perry, 'who was then : employed aa the driver of a mail wagon,- was missing. : It was on this date that Ellen Murphy 'was assaulted.

Another chapter In the history of the Doukhobor pilgrimage to convert the world has closed, but the story Is "to be continued." The Doukhobors were taken by special train from Mlnncdosa to Yorkton last night and today were kept In the cars, closely guarded by northwest mounted po lice. Although victorious at Mlnnedosa, It Is a question yet doubtful whether the government will not be defeated In Its final effort to get ths fanatics back to their villages. If the fight to move them 100 yards Is any example of what the government may expect to contend with, tt will tske a much larger force to move them the" re maining 100 miles. Mlnnedosa dispatches report stormy scenes during the entraining of the pil grims there. After tepeated Interviews with Selkroff, the lealer of the fanatics, the. local Immigration agent decided to use force, and grabbing the leader by the shoulders, pushed him out of the building In which the Doukhobors had spent the night, at the same .time calling upon the policemen to bring the rest. As they came out the fanatics locked themselves together, each man clinging to his neighbor, thus making a solid body. Then the excitement commenced. The citizens turned out to help the po lice, but it wss bard work to pry the fanatics apart, it taking four or five men to pull one Doukhobor-from the inter locked mass. Some went quietly when broken away, but the majority fought every Inch of the ground. One citizen had an ear nearly bitten oft. a Doukhobor had his ankle broken, and there were many other minor mishaps. A few went to the coaches alone, . but the majority bad to be carried bodily or loaded Into the wagons of farmers who had gath ered to see the fight. .
