SAYS He Ciy PROVE IT
PeSry ReIterates He Is Only
White Man to Reach Pole.

Battle Harbor Labrador, via wire
less telegraphy TO Cape Ray, N. r.,
Sept. Ill am the only white man
who ever has reached the North pole
and / am prepared to prove It.
This statement was made by Com
mander r. E. Peary in reply TO q ques-
ton on the Peary-Cook controversy
put 70 him by a newspaper man who
reached here from Sydney on the tug
Douglas Thomas. He then dictated
the following statement:
II am the only white man who has
ever reached the North pole and am
prepared to prove it at the proper
time. / have already stated publicly
that Cook has not been TO the pole.
This reaffirm and will stand by ii,
but decline TO discuss the details of
the matter These viii come out
later. | have said that DR.. Cooks
statement that he had reached the
North pole should not be taken SER
ously and that / have him nailed by
concrete proofs TO support my state
ment.
I'm six months you probably will get
the whole story. 1t would not be pol
fey for me TO enter upon a full debate
Of Che subject as II now stands. To
do so I would be giving out much in
formation of which other uses could
be made. l intend TO wait until DR..
Cook has issued his full authorized
statement. Up to the present time
there have been only newspaper ac-
counts of Or. Cooks alleged polar trip
and these may or may not be accu-
rate. When Dr. Cook has time to issue
complete authorized version Of mis-
journey it will be the proper oppor-
tunity for me to make public the in.
formation which ! have. After that
the jury--in other words the people
and the scientific bodies of the world
will pass judgment on the matter
and there will be nothing left of DR..
Cooks claim but his own assertions
that he has reached the North pole.
In the meanwhile it is my determine
ton not to deal with details for the
reasons already stated"
