WHAT DR.. COOK SAYS

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

~ iOPENHAGEN, Sept. ST have been
to the north pole. As 1 said last
~ when L heard of Commander Peary's
success, If he says he has been to the
pole 1 believe him.
'T am going to place facts, figures and
worked out observations before the Joint
tribunal of the scientific bodies of the
world. In due course L shall be prepared
to make public an announcement that will
efrectually dispel any doubt, If there can
be such, of the fact that 1 have reached

This is the reply DR.. Frederick A.
Cook made tonight to Comma-der
Peary.
Coming so quickly upon other dra-
matte incidents of the week, Com
mander Pearys dispatch denying that
DR.. Cook had achieved the triumph
for which he has been feted and hon
ored in Copenhagen, has been read
here with feelings Of amazement and
concern.
But DR.. Cook, himself, seems in no
wise disturbed. He was perfectly cool
and apparently unmoved when con-
fronted tonight with kilograms from
the United States saying Peary had
denounced him as an imposter.
the slightest from the day he landed
at Copenhagen.
Statement Withheld
DR.. Cooks friends had urged him to
their utmost to make a statement for
the public, but he had said repeatedly
that all he had to say for the present
was that he possessed proofs that he
had visited the north pole on April 21,
1908
When it was suggested to him that
his chances of proving his case might
be ruined unless he made satisfac-
tory statement Immediately, he smiled
and asked how man could be ruined
by popular clamor calling him an i'm
poster when he had proofs of his case
which could and would be published,
as he had often repeated, when they
were in proper form to be given out.
Regarding the controversy over his
alleged taking of Peary's stores, DR..
Cook asserts that he has written and
other satisfactory evidence that Peary
took his stores, perhaps believing him
dead.
Knows the Facts
Harry Whitney is personally ac-
uuainted with all the facts. and per-
haps what he has to say when he re-
turns may be interesting" added the
explorer.
Then DR.. Cook remarked quietly:
make as little as you can of this and
don't say anything disagreeable about
Peary."
DIR. Cook continued:
II will not enter into any controversy
ovae' the subject with Commander
Peary, further than to say that if he
saws I have taken his Eskimos my
reply is that I1skimos are nomads.
