COOKS CLAIM NOT HELPED
Cyrus G. Adams Sees Little Effect in
What Rasmussen Reports.
(New York Times.)

\ASS" loih 1iiiSo
The statement Of Knud Rasmussen,
the Danish scientist, forwarded by him
from Greenland for publication in The
New York Times yesterday, caused
much discussion among those in this
city who are interested in settling the
controversy as to whether DR.. Freder-
lex A. Cook did or did not reach the
north pole.
Cyrus C. Adams, of the American
Geographical Society. said:
RASMUSSEN is a sort of genius in
his way. He is a dreamy, poetical,
imaginative young nan who has taken
a great liking to DR.. Cook. as other
men have The fact that he is part
Eskimo and can live with the natives
Just like one Of them has helped him
to get a good deal of valuable inform
alton from them, but it seems to me
that in his recent talk with the Eski-
friends of Cooks two native com
panions, he was not able to pin them
down to any important details that
we did not know already.
I'VE must remember that the Peary
party saw Cooks companions them
selves and got their story. Ae far as
that story relates to the southern part
Of Cooks route, it agrees with the
story that Rasmussen heard. But
went only a little north CT Cape
Thomas Hubbard, while their friends
told Rasmussen that they went far
north. gu Rasmussen does not re-
port any really definite information.
These natives are in the habit Of
counting the sleeps on long Journeys,
but Rasmussen tells US nothing about
this.
He reports them as saying that
they were in a place where the sun
began to appear and stood high in
the sky, and at last did not disappear
- = III Irhor Ala rnf hnxro RI 90 -
the pole to meet such conditions, for
they have seen them at home.
He says the Eskimos told him the
ice grew better for sledging as they
travelled further north. but they had
already discovered this fact in 1905.
when they accompanied Peary to 81
s minutes north latitude. 1t
does not seem as though Cooks claims
are strengthened in any way by what
natives told RaSnn2s0n

DIR. COOK MUCH PLEASED
Explorer Comments on Danes Disin-
tereStedneSS and Close Relations
With the ESkimOS.

Toledo, O., Oct. 2l-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, who passed through here to-
day on his way to Canton, vas greatly
pleased with the statement in support
of his popular claims sent to The New
York Times by Knud Rasmussen, the
Danish scientist. He said Rasmussen's
opinion was particularly valuable be-
cause Rasmussen is half Eskimo him
self, speaks the Eskimo language per-
fectly, thoroughly understands the
people, and is better able to secure
correct information from them than
any other scientist or explorer.
DR.. Cook also pointed out the dis
interested character Of the statement.
1T Is that Of a man who had 40
occasion to defend me-" he said. He
is not particularly a friend Of mine,
and had no relations to our expedi-
ton. | first met him at North sta
Bay, in 1907.
H gathered his information FROM
the EskinOs before he heard from
me that l had discovered the north
pole. / saw him at Egesdeminde
early in August last for a few minutes,
when I first told him of the discovery,
although he may have heard of it
previously from the Danes"

NOFdenSkiOld Convinced.

Stockholm, Oct. 21.-Dr. n. Otto c..
Nordenskjold, the antarctic explorer,
expressed himself today as much i'm.
pressed with the word brought from
knud Rasmussen, the explorer now in
Greenland, by the Greenland steamer
GOdthaab.
THE message from Rasmussen" he
said, leaves me without a doubt that
DR.. Cook reached the pole as he stated.
I deplore, however, the fact hat Cook
failed to turn over his observations
to the University of Copenhagen i'm
mediately upon his arrival in Den
mark. Had he done this he would
have deprived Commander Peary of
an opportunity to allege that his polar
data were made to order after Cook
reached New York.
"Such allegations, however, will not
receive credence from any who, like
myself, are we'll acquainted with Cook,
knowing him as a conscientious ex-
plorer.'

valuable old china, this collection,
consisting of thirty eight pieces of
Lowestoft china, exquisiteIy deco
rated with the insignia OF the Order
OF the Cincinnati. IS the greatest find
Of its kind that has been made by
the Museum for years. The only other
specimens OF this old and valuab BILE
china consist of several plates in the
Washington collection.
The Lowestoft china was presum-
ably made in England, but critics OF
ceramic art have suspected for me
time that the manufacturer of the
china sent it t. China to be finis ed.
They insist that this Townsend col
lection proves this completely. The
collection is the property of Mrs.
Marshall Phillips, who has loaned it
10 the Museum.
The David Townsend mentioned in

was the ancestor of Gen. E. d. Town
