' Danes, remembering; Peary's bad treat
ment of on of their own explorers, will not
bo surprised at his attitude toward Dr.
Cook." .
The1 general attitude here Is one of ex
panded Judgrhent ontll the evidence la pro
duced. Dr. Cook's feature before the Geo
graphical society caused a profound disap
pointment because the people expected
more convincing proofs than Dr. Cook has
riven; H eontented himself In his leoture
with repeating -what had already appeared
In the form ef statements to the newspa
pers. The enthusiasm over the announce

the least

COOJTS STORY
(Continued from First Pace.)
by lack of fuel, the Roosevelt has literally
crawled homewsrd snd news 'of Its prog
ress has been meager and at times unre
liable. This la due to the inadequate tele-
graplilo facilities on the Labrador coast.
Aside from the message received by the
Associated Press yesterday from Com
mander Paary and the one received by his
wife, came an additional dispatch to
Charles A. Moore, president of the Amer
ican Protective league, who Is a warm
personal friend of Commander Peary. The
message said : .
The pole Is ours. Regards to Mrs.
Moore."
In 1897 Mr. Moore's son, Charles A. Moore,
Jr., accompanied Peary to the Arotio.
the following message, under the same
date, both having been sent by way of
Cape Hay, Newfoundland:
"Good morning. Delayed by gale. Don't
let Cook story worry you. Have him
nailed.''
The foregoing was signed simply "Bert,"
sn abbreviation of Robert, while the mes
sage to the Associated Press bore the single
word "Peary" as its signature. To the
Associated Press the commander had sent
the dispatch, replying to an urgent request
for an authoritative statement concerning
Dr. Cook, This request had been sent to
Mm Immediately after he had flashed news
of his discovery from Indian Harbor on
Monday. ', .
While Peary's assertion of yesterday Is
of a nature that makes Dr. Cook's position
one of defense, the Brooklyn explorer yet
has supporters both at home and abroad.
Many- Of - the continental scientists are
marking time pending developments, while
those who have' fofmed ne deolded opinion
In this- country have assumed a similar
stand. ' ' ' ' '"

"Prof. William H. Brewer' of Tale, honor
ary prestdehtfor life of the AtoUo Club of
America ' or wnicn notn reary ana cook
are members, telegraphed to New Tork
yesterday as follows:
."I believe thai both Cook and' Peary
have reached the pole."
Dr. Thomas a Dedrlck of Washington,
N. J., who was surgeon of the Peary ei
pedltion In 1896-03, promptly came to the
support of Dr.. Cook yesterday. He said
'The charge (referring to Peary's state
ment of yesterday) may lessen Dr. Cook's
standing ' in popular estimation until bis
defense can be heard, but the solentlfle
world wtll be affected only by sclentlflo
discrepancies. Dr. Cook will undoubtedly
have sclentlflo records and observations
without Eskimo proof. If Eskimo proof Is
needed there are enough admirers of fair
play in the world to send Impartial In
terpreters to the tribe."
Character of Ealtlsaoa.
Analysing the .Eskimo charaoter. Dr.
Dedrlck la Inclined to think them unre
liable with "a temperament which would
lead him to agree for suavity's sake and
because of, immediate benefit with a man
on Aha spot having a shipload of what is
most dear to an Eskimo heart,"
This would be especially true, argues Dr.
Dedrlck, "If their former benefactor had
departed homeward as Cook did on a sled
with no halo of a ship's prestige,"
In conclusion Dr. Dedrlck said; "Suppose
Cook next year . went up and distributed
presents, as ships do and asked if his rival
had got out of sight of land, and. they said
'No,' what matter would It make to the
publlo?"
Other Impartial parties may yet be heard

ARREST IN DETROIT MYSTERY
Dr. George A. Flitch Held on Charge
of Suspicion of Murder.
REGISTERED LETTER A CLUE
Mle Mertha Itesialns;. Intimate
Friend ef Maybelle MUlman,
Is Held as a Wit.
DETROIT. 8ept. .-Dr. George A. Frlteh.
a well-known practitioner of this city, was
placed under arrest tonight at police head
quarters on suspicion of connection with
the death of Miss Maybelle Mlllmen of Ann
Arbor, whose dismembered body was found
Monday and Tuesday In two sacks sunk
In Ecorse creek in the western suburbs of
this city.
Miss Martha Hennlng, Intimate friend of
the dead girl, was also taken Into custody
as a witness. Dr. Frlteh la registered as
follows on the blotter at the Central police
station:
"George A. Fritch. Offense charged, sue
plclon of murder; occupation, physician!
age. It: married: color, white; residence,
466 Trubual avenue."
Money In Registered1 Letter.
The arrest of Dr. Fritch followed the
hurried return of Sheriff Gsston from Ann
Arbor, where he hsd spent a few days
looking up clues In the MUlman case. rVi
! unexpectedly did the Investigation shift to
Detroit that the Wayne county sheriffs
arrival nrre was almost simultaneous with
the arrival at the Ann Arbor postofflce of
a Washington telesrram authorizing Post
master Prettyman to submit the records
of the money order and registered letter
departments to the Inspection of Mr.
Gaston. All day this authorisation hart
been awaited by the officials gathered at
Ann Arbor in the hope that the postofflce
records would show who had been the
sender of a registered letter containing a
remittance of money which Miss Ml II man
received at her home just before leaving
on her ill starred trip to Detroit three
weeks ago.
Whether the Investigation of the Ann
Arbor postofflce records Is to be pursued
further tomorrow could not be learned to
night. Miss Helming and Dr. Fritch both re
mained In the detective office for about
half an hour and then the doctor was
taken Into a separate room while the girl
was subjected to further questions In the
absence of the physician. After an hour's
time Miss Henning was taken upstairs to
the matron's room and Dr. Fritch was led
to the cell In the basement .
Theory of Police.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept 8. The arrest
of a Detroit doctor late this evening,
charged with being Implicated In the death
of Miss Maybelle MUlman, whose dismem
bered body was found in a gunny sack in
Ecorse creek, near Detroit, bears out ths
conclusion of the authorities that the girl
died following an operation.
The girl told her mother that he friend.
Martha Hennlng of Detroit, had sent her
a letter asking her to visit Detroit May
belle went to Detroit and then disappeared.

1 1
"Mary Jane's Pa." the great play of In
diana life which pleased New Tork, Chi
cago and Philadelphia with long runs last
season and which wilt be seen at I'oyd's
tonight and tomorrow night and Saturday
matinee. Is an idyllic story of a modern
Enoch Arden, but far better than here
tofore. Edith Ellis, the author, has re
produced the inner side of Indiana life.
Rarely has a stronger love story, or,
rather, several love stories, been so per
fectly blended with the richest of humor
and varied comedy. Henry E. Dlxey, a
comedian with the sprlghtllness of the
modern school snd the mellowness of the
old. Is the star of the producing company,
and his leading woman Is the talented ac
tress Helen Laclcaye.
The production has been called a most
perfect example of modern ' effort It
comes from the splendidly equipped studio
of the great manager, Henry W. Savage.
This season's version is even better then
before, because It has been entirely gone
over under the guidance of Mr. Socage and
George Marlon.
