open lanes, and he seems to lave

Cook also reports that the ice fields
were often split apart, but he says that
the intense cold usually closed them
up within a few hours.
Or Cook says that on his return he
found the ice more broken than on his
outward journey, particularly below the
S4th parallel Of latitude. where It was
so bad that he had difficulty in making
the shore. Peary, on the other hand
must have had almost perfect ice from
the Pole to the land. much cleaner than
he found on his way up. But DR.. Cook s

miles south and west OF Pearys, bring

COMPARE
DISCOVERIES NOTES

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Explorers had
the opportunity yesterday for the first
time 20 compare the skeleton reports Of
DR.. Frederick a. Cook and Commander
Robert 2. Peary, concerning their
claims to having discovered the North
Pole. While acknowledges that only
bitter controversy car follow Com
mander Peary's attack upon his rival,
the explorers Of this city were prac-
tically agreed in their attitude toward
the problem. Their almost undivided
opinion was that DR.. Cook should be
credited until his story shall have been
proved false by unmlstakable evidence
Commander Peary's meaRer narrative
as printed yesterday was regarded as
decidedly confirming DR.. Cooks story
in several significant particulars and
raising no points Of disagreement. The
explorers were more positive than ever
that the controversy can he settled be-
yond reasonable doubt by an inquiry
before recognized scientific bodies. The
swiftness OF Commander Peary's dash,
during which he often far exceeded the
long days journeys for which DR.. Cook
has been reproached. was a point which
nearly all emphasized.
'Peary's rapid travelling" said F. s.
DellenbauGh, secretary OF the Ameri-
can Geographical Society, would seem
10 confirm Dr. Cooks statement that
he found the ice OF the polar sea ex-
ceptionally smooth. From Cape Co
lumbia to the Pole in thirty-seven days
means a daily avera e Of eleven and
one-third miles. and deducting tie sew
en- days in which he was held up by
open water. the rate is fourteen miles

rate must have been at least twenty

delays at all. while the last 2 degrees

four days, or az thirty miles n day.
IF the polar sea was in a condition
which would allow Peary 10 cover such
distances. # is not difficult to believe

followers seek TO discredit Peary, they
point with some glee today 10 the state
mentS made by Peary's supporters after
cry, that no explorer could hope TO con-
story unless corrobora1ed by the per-
sonal testimony of at least one other
white man.
Court of Last Resort.
What will constitute the court Of last
resort in the controversy is still prob
lematical. Various suggestions have
been made, but il is likely that no def
mite movement Will be set on foot in
this direction until the return .of the
TWO explorers to this country. The

Both men are lecturers before the Ma

and as the attitude of this body has
been one OF "hands-off' since Peary
made his charges against Cook. il is
believed that the two explorers would
be willing to submit their quarrel to the

COOK AN EXHIBITOR

NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-Dr- Frederick
A. Cook, who says he discovered the
North Pole, was once an exhibitor in
a dime museum and made a circuit Of
museums in several Eastern cities. He
was billed as an Arctic explorer and
carried with him five Eskimos, Arctic
dogs and implements used by the tn
habitants Of the frozen North.
The news that Cook for a time was a
