DR.. Cook Hears of His
Rivals Success.
SAYS NEWS Is GOOD
Ills Report of Conditions
Must Confirm Nine"
CALLS COMMANDER HIS FRIEND

Copenhagen, Sept. l. - Copenhagen
was electrified by Commander Peury's
announcement that he had reached the
north pole. Dr. Frederick 4. Cook was
Immensely interested and said THAT
Is good news, | hope Peary did get to
the pole. His observations and reports
on that region will confirm mine"
Asked If there was any probability
Of peary'S having found the tube con-
tanning his records, DR.. Cook replied,
Il hope 50, but that is doubtful on ac-
count of the drift"
Or. Cook added: Commander Peary
reached the pole more than eleven
months after | got there Last year
his route was several hundred miles
east of mine. We are rivals, of course,
but the pole is good enough for two.
Ills description OF conditions at the
north pole must confirm those which
saw and described.
THAT two men got to the pole along
different paths" continued the explor-
er, should furnish large additions to
scientific knowledge. Probably other
parties will reach 1t in the next ten
years. since every explorer is helped
by the experience Of his predecessors,
Just as Sverdrup's observations and re-
ports were Of immeasurable help to
me. l can say nothing more than that
am glad Of his success. We have
always been good friends
1t is doubtful If history furnishes
more dramatic episode than the break
ing Of the news to DR.. Cook that Pea
ry had realized the goal Of his life's
ambition and repeated struggles. DR..
Cook was seated at dinner, surround
ed by explorers and correspondents,
in the gilded ballroom of the Tivoli
Casino.
Around his neck was hung gar
land of pink roses, according to the
Scandinavian method Of honoring he
roes, which the explorer wore blush
ingly and with visible embarrassment.
Several speeches acclaiming him had
been given and repeated toasts to him
drunk with clamorous cheers.
Amid this scene whisper went
around that Peary had planted the
stars and stripes at the pole. Cook
was perfectly cool and unmoved. He
made a striking speech, in which he
paid high tribute to the work Of
Sverdrup, who sat near, to whose dis
coveries he largely owed his success;
to John II. Bradley, who had financed
the expeditions: to the EskimOs who
had accompanied him.
DIR. Cook did not permit the whis-
pers which came to his ear of Peary's
success to move him in the least, but
when he had finished he was sur
rounded by correspondents, who look
ell for some sign of emotion, but the
explorer said smillngly, Il am glad"
DIR. Cook lectured today before the
Danish Geographical society and was
afterward guest Of honor at Il banquet

MRS. PEARY VERY HAPPY.
she Thought at First the News Was
Too Good to Be True.

She Thought at First the News was
Too Good to Be True.
South Harpswell Me-, Sept. THE
hnppiest woman in the world, accord
ing to her own statement, is Mrs. Rob-
ert f. Peary, the devoted wife of
Commander Peary, to whom word of
her husbands success in reaching the
north pole after twenty-three years OF
effort and hardship was first brought
by messenger in a motor boat from
the mainland to Eagle Island tn,
summer home Of the Pearys In Casco
bay.
The messenger was met at the dool
by Miss Marie Penry, the sixteen
year-old daughter of the explorer.
Your father has nailed the stars
and stripes to the north pole" said
the man.
Miss Marie clapped her hands excit.
edly and called aloud to her mother
upstairs ooh. come down, mamma,
come down. Papa has reached the
pole"
Mrs. Peary ran swiftly down and
approached the messenger with out
stretched hands. Again he repeated
the news and gave the message from
her husband announcing his success.
Mrs. Peary covered her face for an
instant with her hands and exclaimed:
ut is almost too good to be true!
l am very happy-the happiest woman
in the world"
After sending her reply to her hus-
bands message Mrs. peary said:
"You have brought me the very best
news possible. I cannot find words
to express my feelings. Mr.. Peary's
ship have been crowned with success.
God bless him.

GAYNOR TO RUN FOR MAYOR.
New York Judge Says He Will Accept
Independent Nomination.

New York. Sept. T.-Justice William
]. Gaynor Of the supreme court, who
has been mentioned as mayoralty can
didate on the Democratic and Inde-
pendent tickets, announces that h
will accept an independent nomina-
tion to run for mayor.
He writes to committee Of inde-
pendents as follows:
put myself in your h&nds and consent
to he a candidate for nomination for
mayor.
| have long been Of those who look
upon extreme partisanship In city or local
elections as most unfortunate. Its main
result is to play everything year after
year into the hands Of party machines.
In years gone by l have worked shoul-
der to shoulder with Republicans and
Democrats alike and together in efforts
to prevent oficial wrOngdoing and lift
city government up and make 1t intelli-
gent and decent
We never paused then to inquire Of one
another's politics or to put any ban or
bar on one another because of politics.
and we shall not DO the like now.
The great bulk OF the voters here who
are Democrats in national politics are In
favor OF intelligent and good local gov
ernment the same as the corresponding
bulk of Republican voters are.
Base men are in the minority in all
parties and everywhere. There are 5000
or more voters in this great city who
now never allow national politics to in
fluence their vote in city elections. What,
they ask, for instance, has ones belief In
a high tarin or a low tariff TO do with
the capacity or fitness Of a man for a
city office?
Though l am putting myself in youl
hands, 1t Ia with a reservation that feel
l need not make to honorable men,
namely, that / shall not take a nomina-
ton from any organization to which Is
annexed any pledge, promise or condition
whatsoever, other than to be mayor in
fact and do my duty If elected.

FRANCE THRILLED BY NEWS.
More Ready to Believe In Peary's Sue
cess Than In Cooks.

Paris, Sept. 7.-Commander Peary's
announcement that he has carried the
American flag to the north pole has
caused Il profound impression in
France.
1t was with genuine thrill that
people discussed the dramatic Incl
dent of two American explorers re-
porting within Il few days of each 9TH

which man has been struggling for
centuries.
Prominent French scientists say
that Commander Pcary's prominence

distinction to that of DR.. Cook whose
unohtruSive and solitary voyage rails

president Of the United States came
aboard the Roosevelt at oyster Bay
on July Z, 1908, to bid Commander
Peary farewell and good luck he found
craft clean, but actually shabby,
because Peary did not have the money
to paint her.
Standing on the bridge OF the Roose-
welt on the afternoon Of July g, 1908,
Peary, with grave face, took his
last look at New York. A day later,
after President Roosevelt had said
goodby at Oyster Bay, Peary left the
Roosevelt with Mrs. Peary and took
train Mt Sydney, where he was to
meet Captain Bartlett.
