Much Not Told by Cook,
Says Counsel for Peary

BAR HARBOR, Me-, September Al
have read the records submitted by Com
mander Peary on the question Has COOK
Been at the Pole?' and found In them
much that DR.. Cook has not stated. they
are very interesting.
Gen. Thomas Hubbard, president OF the
Peary Arctic Club. made this statement
after an examination of the Peary records
on the controversy which were submitted
to him by Commander Peary at Bangor.
While Gen. Hubbard would give no IN
timation as to the nature Of the proofs
which Commander Peary is confident Will
show that Dr. Cook was not at the pole.
it was apparent that he was we'll sat1snea
with the records before him.
Commander Peary Is expected nero
Monday afternoon and will remain until
Tuesday, during which time he will be
guest at the home of Gen. Hubbard. Dur
ing his visit Commander Peary Will go
over the records in detail and supply
such information as Gen. Hubbard may
desire.
81 think it would be best not to make
any statement otter the conference with
Commander Peary," said Gen. Hubbard.
'as it is a matter which the officers OF
the Peary Arctic Club should pass upon.
II shall call a meeting Of the club ofi-
GERS very shortly, certainly within two
or three weeks. for there shall be no de-
lay. The meeting will be In New York. "
The records and observations Of Com
mander Peary at the pole were not SUBJ
mitted to Gen. Hubbard, but will probably
be placed before the Peary Arctic Club.
What scientific body in this country
may be selected to pass upon the records
and data of Commander Peary and DR..
Cook will be considered at the meeting
which Gen. Hubbard will call.

MEASURE OF RETALIATION
HUNTINGTON Is CONVINCED

NEW YORK, September 25.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook contemplates the bringing
Of suit against Commander Peary to
recover damages for SANDER and defama-
ton. according to friends of the Brook
lyn explorer.
DR.. Cook himself had nothing to say
today regarding the proposed suit. HIS
secretary. Walter Lonsdale. admitted the
idea was seriously entertained. both by
DR.. Cook and John r. Bradley. Cook S
hacker.
He said that affidavits had already been
prepared in case 1t was definitely de-
cided to bring the suit.
But certainly nothing will be done just
at present in the matter" said Mr.. Ions
dale LAS q matter Of fact. it is doubt
full if anything will ever be done. unless
it is in retaliation
Huntington Is Convicted.
For the first time since his arrival here
DR.. Cook took into his confidence one OF
the leading American geographical au-
thorities yesterday, Archer NJ. Hunting
ton, president of the American Geo.
graphical Society. with whom he had an
hours private conference.
his data to DIR. Huntington, or ampnneo
his previous statements regarding his trip,
could not be ascertained. Upon leaving
DR.. Huntington refused to comment on
the meeting
Mr.. Cooks friends, however, announced
that just before his departure Dr. Hunt
ington had expressed perfect commence
in the statements Of the explorer.
/ DR.. Cook also had an agreeable cha'
with his financial hacker, John X. Brad
ley, whose liberality enabled him to make
his northern dash and to share the fame
of that expedition.
Cooks Work and Plans.
But most of Dr. Cooks waking hours
were devoted to preparing the literary
steps which lead to the lecture platform
which he will mount next Monday at the
Carnegie Institute. So carefully Is the
explorer assembling the material for mis-
first public appearance that he has de-
clined many invitations for the HUDSON
Fulton celebrations during next week..
Tuesday the doctor expects to attend q
dinner at the Harlem Casino. and he Will
also speak at the Hudson-fulton banquet
at the Hotel Aston Wednesday.
Thursday he will be the guest OF honoI
at a dinner given by the Danish societies
and he will later attend a banquet at st.
George, S. I. His further plans have not
yet been definitely made.
In spite Of his morning callers and his
literary efforts. the explorer found time
TO romp and play with his little girls
and enjoy, with even greater fervor, the
completion of the family circle after
many months absence.

Arctic told those on the Jeanne within
two weeks before that he had been re-
quested to call at Cape Haven and make
inquiries in the fall.
No Provision for Another Winter.
The Snowdrop anticipated the call. no
provision being made for another winter.
The men were not permitted to go on
hunting trips. as it was desired to have
every one ready when the ship called.
On the morning of September L., ship.
now known to be the Arctic. was sighted
and a boat put out to intercept her.
Everything possible was done to attract
her attention. but she sailed by without
touching at Cape Haven. The men were
very much disheartened and greatly sur
prised when a few hours later the Jeanne
came around the cape and dropped
anchor. They brought their personal eff
fects aboard, and after a three days
search for Morrison began the returA
trip to civilization. which they had been
cut off from for SO many months.

Cooks Quest for Pole
Was Announced by Bridgman

NEW YORK, September 25.-Some of
the critics of DR.. Cook have declared that
this explorer started on his dash for the
pole without having given notice that
this was his intention. The article which
follows, and which appeared in the Chris
tan Work and Evangelist. New York
publication, October II. 1907, puts the
facts straight on this point.
The article was published nearly two
years ago-that Is, nearly nine months
before Mr.. Peary left New York for
northern waters. In it is recorded an
announcement by Herbert L Bridgman
that DR.. Cook was prepared to try to
reach the pole by new route. DR..
Cooks provisions and equipment were
also described. Mr.. Bridgman Is secre-
tary of the Peary Arctic Club and one
of the closest friends OF Mr.. Peary.
The article follows:
Bridgeman's Announcement.
Herbert l. Bridgman of the Brooklyn
Standard Union Is we'll known as an au-
thority upon polar expeditions. having
been with Lieut.. Peary upon his notable
trip two years ago. Mr.. Bridgman an
nounced that DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the
scientist. is now prepared to try to reach
the north pole by an entirely new route
through hansen strait. The dispatch was
dated Etah. August 26. 1907. and is as
follows:
MY Dear Bridgman: 1 have hit upon
a new route to the north pole and will
stay to try it. BY way of Buchanan bay
and Ellesmere Land and northward
through hansen strait over the polar sea
seems to me to be a very good route.
There will be game to the SD degree, and
here are natives and dogs for the task:
So here Is for the pole. Mr.. Bradley will
tell you the rest. Kind regards to all.
:" F. A. COOK
Cooks Expedition Described.
1T will be remembered that DR.. Cook.
accompanied by John II. Bradley. Capt.
Thomas Bartlett and number of Eski-
mos. left North Sydney. Nova Scotia, early
last July on the American auxiliary
schooner-yacht John r. Bradley, which
landed the party at Smiths sound. Mr.
Bradley returned to North Sydney on the
yacht October 1. The expedition Is pro-
visioned for two years and fully equipped
with dogs and sledges for the trip. The
party is wintering thirty miles farther
north than Peary did two years ago.
This polar business seems to be more
and more fascinating as it's difficulties in
crease. What the pole will be good for
after it is found remains to be seen. One
would suppose that the danger of catching
colds would be great. but Mr.. Bridgman
assures the writer that such is not the
case. On the contrary, the cold seems to
be so intense that the cold microbe' seems
to be unable to survive, and the result Is
that in the severest weather and with the
thermometer away down out Of sight there
is no possibility Of catching cold.''
