SYMPATHIES ARE WITH COOK There is no mistaking the meaning of Commander Peary's proposal as to disproof of Dr. Cook's claim or that of Secretary Bridgman's warning message to the commander not to give details until the two have met. ft is evidently Peary's notion to get a long statement from Cook with a map and then proceed to tear it to pieces by finding petty flaws and contradictions in it. He has, of course, no plain “proof" as he has been intimating, but if he can get an elab-, orate account from Cook, who is confessedly no scientist, he will endeavor by the aid of his superior knowledge and perhaps of his learned friends, to cloud Dr. Cook's story with suspicion. Nor is Secretary Bridgman s course much more edifying. He himself has i said that Peary's story corroborates Cook's in important particulars, and he is evidently afraid that further i details from Peary w-ill operate to the same effect. This is not the generous, 1 the manly, the ingenuous thing, ft inspires the suspicion that Bridgman hopes he and Peary can concoct some modification or omissions that will make the Peary report less confirmatory of Cook’s exploit. It is sometimes said that we Americans are an unsentimental people, but this controversy reveals them in a contrary attitude; for the ungenerous and reckless words of Peary have seemingly driven almost the whole country to the hope that somehow he may be worsted in the final decision, even to the point of seeing his own claims set aside. The remarkable coincidences between the two accounts certainly put the burden of proof on Peary, and he has started out by prejudicing

He was able to be about until a few days ago, when his illness took on an acute form and he slept away yesterday noon.

Mrs. Berger and Mrs. Dilling of near here and Miss Louise, and two brothers, Charles Reichert of New York and Jacob Reichert of Virginia.

” 1 ESTATE VARIOUSLY ESTIMATED New York, Sept. 14. —Although it is' confidently believed that the will of Edward H. Harriman was read to members of the family last night by ex-Judge Lovett and Charles A. Peabody. no intimation of its contents will be made public until it is filed for actual probate in a week or more. There is much speculation as to what the will contains and whether it intimates the amount of the Harriman estate, which has been variously estimated at from $50,000,000 to $200,000,000. It was noted that J. P. Morgan ; did not attend the Harriman funeral I . yesterday, although it is known he went secretly to Arden house a week ago last Thursday and had a long conference with the dying man. At this conference it is said that Harri- . man urged Morgan to take over the management of his great system, believing that Morgan was the only financier in America capable of grasping the situation. Morgan is said to have j agreed. Morgan was never a close personal friend of Harriman, and ; there is no significance in the fact that he did not go to the funeral. They were business foes or business friends as the occasion demanded, but their personal relations were never close.

JEWISH NEW YEAR TOMORROW Event Will Be Celebrated All Over the World. “Lshoa tohwa teksawe*” Jews throughout the world will meet tomorrow evening to celebrate the Jewish new year, 5670, and on meeting will greet each other with the ancient salutation, “May- thou be inscribed for a goo<t year.’’ The year properly begins at sunset and the twenty-four hours following is the greatest feast period of the race, and one celebrated with many church services and much joy. Although coming at the close of the harvest season —the hot months of the summer, it brings as much gladness into Jewish homes as the Christian new year, and more perhaps for it has a deep religious significance to the Jewish people.
