Cook sent an attomobile to the station to meet Whitney and take h'm to the lecture hall. Admiring Peary as a greut explorer, Fut believing that Cook was the first man to reach the North Pole, Harry Whitney can please neither by a firm neutrality. Cook wants him to come forward and explain al! that occurred at Btah. The young man is reluctant to do thie becauvre of the courtesy ex- tended him by Peary when he asked ermission té spend the winter at the mmander’s camp. Wher the Roosevolt came down from Cape Sheridan to Etah last August Whitney iaformead Commander Peary of the rows he had with Murphy, but Peary did not manifest any Interest in the subject. As a matter of fuct, Peary became cold and forbidding as the Greenland ice cap the moment Cook’s nhaite was mentioned, and Whitney, be- Ing a geod sport and quick to forgive, dropped the subject. It was to save Whitney from becom- ing too, fiercely engiged with Murphy that Dr. Codk. hurried away from Etah without waiting to recoup his wasted. strength. Cook stayed a‘ Btah only two days. Proken down by starvation and stupendous task of hauling two sledger uver 20 miles of Arctic fce with- eut dogs, while scarcely able to totter, Cook would have liked ro lay up for a week or t*#o at Btah. He had cached stores of h‘'s own there and nzuturally felt that he was entitled to them. But in accordance with Peary'’s writ- ten instructions to Murphy, Cook’s stores had been eaten. It was when he demanded of Murphy at least their equivalent that the. quarrel arose = in which Whitney shouldered the burden of the argumént, with little Pritchard ‘packing him up.

Feary a welcome yesterday such as few returning heroes’ tan hope to receive. From the bridge of hi: Arctic ship, Roosevelt, Commander. Peary, with his wife by his side, was the most prominent feature of the @-mile Hudson-Fulton naval parade from*New York to New- buzgh. All the way land and water vied with each other in, hurling their cheers of congratulation. to the littlé ship where- on the tall, military-locking man smiled his answer to their greetings. - “Meanwhile Capt. Bartlett was kept at work so incessantly with the whistle cord, answering ‘the salutes of passing chaft, that Chief Engineer Wardwell called up from the engine roem that he would not have steam enough to move the vessel if they did not stop the whistle. “It has been gratifying to have taken part in the parade,’ said Commander Peary, “and I am deeply appregiative of the reception that has been given the officers and crew of the Reosevelt and myself. It was magnificent.” “WILLIE BOY,” BAD.

SAVE LIFE Her Companion in Flight Left a Wife and Two Children Penniless. — — — In order to induce Mrs. Paul Nardini, A years old, to elope with him, Joseph Cassaita, a tailor, % years old, who abandoned his wife and two small chil- cren last Wednesday, is belleved by Mrs. Nardin!’s parents*to have told Mrs. Nardini tha: her husband from whom she was separated, hated her and in- tended to kill her. Both Cassaita and Mrs Nardini dis- uppeared Wednesday niglt. Thursday morning Mrs. Antonio Sartini, Mrs, Nar- gini's mother, found a note on a table in the young woman's room. The note, Mrs. Sartini told a Post-Dispatch re- porter, declared that Mrs. Nardini had vreen toid by Cassatt’. that Nardim nianmned her death and that she was going away to save herseli “Cassatta dil tell her such things,”’ said Mrs. 3artini, who i‘ves at Spring and St. Louis avenues. Mrs. Nardini made her home with her parents after ghe left her husband two months ago. Afraid of Her Husbaad, ‘“Why,” continued Mrs. Sartini, ‘‘she was afraid to go avross the street to the grocery reo. I teel sure, however. that she and Cassatta are together. I pave burned the note she left.” Cassatta’s tailor shop, now closed, was at 2810 North Soring avenue, just a few doors from the Sartini home. His residence was at 1039A North Sarah street. His family is there still. Mrs. Angeline C*«¢satta, the deserted wife, was at home Saturday with her children, Paul, 6 years old, and Daniel, 3 years o.d. She said that until she heard of the letter Antonio Sartini re- ceived from his jaughter she did not suspect that her husband was interested in Mrs. Nardini in any other than a friendly way. Wife Left Penniless. Mrs. Cassatia said she didn’t have a penny in the house when Cassatta went away and that her only means of sup- port, taking boarders, was gone, as her boarders left when trouble descended on the household. Mrs. Cassatta is en- pecting a visit of the siork. The Cassattas and Nardinis met about five months ago. The Nardinis lived at Sarah street and Laclede avenue and wére seemingly happy. They had been matried about’three years. The’ Cas- sattas had been married seven years and Mrs. Cassatta felt secure in her hus- band's love. The two women, Mrs. Cassatta and Mrs. Nardini, exchanged calls. Cas- satta and Nardini became fast friends end were much in each other’s com- rany. Sometimes both couples spent an evening together. Two months ago, nowever, Mrs. Nar- dini left her husband, suying, he as serts, that she was tired of working 80 hard for him. She went to live with her father at Spring and St. Louis avenues. Saw Elopers Together. Mrs. Nardini frequently called at Cas- satta’s shop and Cassatta several times paid visits to Nardini, telling him that he was endeavoring to persuade Mrs. Nardini to return to him. Nardini be- lieved Cassatta. So did Mrs. Cassatta when the husband told a similar stery at home. About a week ago Mrs. Cassatta went to her husband's tailor shop, she told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday, and saw Mrs. Nardini sitting on a. seWing machine at which her husband had been working. He occupied a chair, drawn close to the machine. They were in ear- nest conversation. “I thought though,”’ said Mrs. Cassat- ta, “that he was simply trying to get Mrs. Nardini to go back to Mr. Nardini. I gidn’t dream that he was intersted in her himself.” Wednesday morning — bade his wife an affectionate farewell. He took a change of clothes with him, saying he expected a hard day’s work and wanted the clean clothes to put on when the day was done. He did not return Wednesday night. When the shop was closed that evening Cassatta gave the key to Vinceat Schumacher, an em- ploye, and told Schumacher to open the business Thursday morning as he (Cas- satta) would be late. Wednesday Cassatta borrowed $v from Nardini, Nardini told a Post-Dis- patch reporter, giving as a reason for whnting the money a need of equipment in his businesa. CKLAHOMA BANK GUARANTEE LAW SUCCESSFUL UNDER FIRE Commissioner’ ¥ Young Says He ls Completely Satisfied With Its Workings. NEW YORK, Oct. 2—The Oklahoma dozen other soldiers Deserter Said to Have Carried _ French Machine to the German Army. Spécial Corre+pondeance ._From ~ Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. PARIS, Oct. 2.—Although the Frefch military authorities have denied that the improved rachine gun stolen from the barracks at Chalons-sur-Marne has left the country, # is now definitely established that the gun is safely in possession of the Germans. It js stated that a deserter named Deschamps quietly took the train for Strasburg with the machine gun, minus only its stand, wrapped up in brown paper. At the frontier ‘he at first told the German custom authorities that the package contained old iron, but then called a policeman and said: “T have got a machine gun: take me straight to the Police Station.’’ This was done, and Deschamps was promptly placed in communication with the German military authorities. From this point all trace of Deschamps has been lost, but it is said that he has been seen in Mets and is now living there. Explonage Organization. A further sensation has been created at Chalons by the arrest in a cafe- chantant of an actress who is believed tu haye been the instigator of Des- champs’ treachery.. The woman is said to be a regular agent of the German esjionage organization, and to have lured many other young :French sol- diers to commit the most terrible of crimes toward their country. ‘ Her method of procedure in every case was similar to thet employed in the cafe of Deschamps. She made the sol- dier’s acquaintanee, and once she had him in her power, began to arouse his jealousy by suggesting that he had not enough money for her. Deschamps tried by hook or by crook to satisfy her demands, and finally, when he had failed to do so, she put it to nim that he might easily obtain the nerossary money by selling French mili- tary information to.the German author- ities. Once Deschamps had started on the down grade {it was comparatively easy to persuade him to go so far as to desert and steal the machine gun. Although the greatest secrecy is main- tal:ed, it is known that at least half a at Chalons aré either undér arrest or are under strict surveillance, all of them being known to nave been friendly with the arrested cafe-chantantéartist. ‘Woman Dies. et Burna..
