Peary May Be Proclaimed
DiScoverer of North Pole

Before the National Geographic Society
takes any action on the statements Of
George II. Dunkle and Capt. August w.
Loose of New York, who declare. in Aft
davits furnished the New York Times,
that they faxed polar observations for
DR.. Cook, q committee of that body will
examine the records personally.
Adoph Ochs, editor of the Times, wired
Prof. Willis Moore yesterday. in answer
to the latter'S request, that he would be
glad to have the committee hook at the
Cook evidence as presented by Dunkle and
Loose.
The committee probably will be COM
posed of Prof. J. II. Gore. Rear Admiral
Pillsbury and DR.. Hayes Should this
committee after it's examination, accept
the story of Dunkle and Loose, 1t is prob
able that the National Geographic So
ciety will come out fat-footed and pro-
claim Commander Peary the discoverer
of the pole.
Commander Peary is to be a guest at
the annual dinner of the society held
here December IS. He will be given a
medal for his achievement Instead of
describing him as one who reached the
pole, If the committees report is favor
able, the inscription on the medal will
probably pronounce him the 'discoverer"
of the pole.
The proposed change in the inscription,
however, will depend upon what the spe-
cial committee decides about the data in
possession of the New York Times.

Didn't Say Capella Rose.

Capt. Loose was puzzled and amused
over the doubt cast on his story by DIR.
Burrau. on the ground that the star
Capella never rises or sets IN the polar
regions.
''He either read my story as published
n the Times very hastily, or he has seen
only a fragmentary version of IT, he de-
clared. "Of course, Capella neither rises
nor sets there. 1 never said it did. In
fact, 1 said quite the contrary. in words
that would he perfectly plain to any
scientist
IAN stars whose destinations are great
er than the complement of the latitude
do not go below the horizon he ex-
planned. .Capel!a's declination is great
er than the complement of the latitude of
Anoratok. Therefore 1t is a circumpolar
star, and circumpolar star never rises
or sets.
why" he continued, in growing indig-
nation at the reflection cast on his scien-
tific knowledge. the very fact that l
saw it true north and true west, and
explained that l would have seen it true
south had il not been for the mountains,
would show to any one at all familiar
with astronomy that I was talking about

Cook Knew Loose Slightly.
Committee to See Afadavits.

Yesterday morning Rector Salomonsen
and Prof. Stromgren, president OF the ex-
aiming committee, were notified that the
New York Times would place the affi-
davits of Capt. Loose at their disposal,
and they declared that the documents
would receive due consideration on their
arrival.
Prof. Stromgren declined to express
any opinion of the value of Capt Loose's
statement. He said the committee would
begin the examination of Cooks papers,.
which are lodged at the observatory. at
once. but undoub tedly would not conclude
the examination before the date of ar
rival of the affidavits.
The Berlingske Tidende says that Capt.
Loose is doubtless identical with Wedel
Loose of Brooklyn, from whom ii re-
ceived a letter a week ago offering ar
guments in favor of Cook.

Wack No Longer Cooks Counsel.

advice elsewhere.

Numbers Too Small
Both Capt. Siler and Maj. Chamber
lain agree that the physique OF both the
southern recruits is less vigorous and ro-
bust says the report, than is the cas-.
with those from other parts of the coun-
try, and they attribute this to the in
furious influence of this infection in
childhood and adolescence. The latter
shows that the absolute weight OF south
ern recruits is less than those from the
north although the former are taller,
and that the weight of the infected
individuals is less than that Of those not
infected
Gen. Torney. however. says that tile
statistics given by Maj. Chamberlain deal
with numbers too small for safe deduc-
ton. The heights and weights of
southern recruits given by him are above
the average of white recruits for tile
whole army for the whole year. and the
fact that the weight to height propor-
ton Is less than for northern recruits
may be due to racial or other causes,
among which a less admixture of recent
European immigrants may be factor A

numbers will prove Of interest,"

COPENHAGEN. December l0.-The
committee of six. under the presidency of
Prof. Ellis Stromgren, an astronomer,
which is to examine the north polar rec
ords of Dr. Frederick \. Cook. on behalf
of the University of Copenhagen, will be-
gin its work a. the end of the present
week
The committee which Will examine Dr.
Cooks records is composed of:
President, Prof. Ellis Stromgren. di-
rector of the astronomical observatory.
DR. c. A. Pechule. astronomer attached
to the observatory.
DR. Gustav Holm. explorer.
Prof A. B. Yensen, president Of the
school of navigation.
DR. Royder, director of the meteorologi-
cal office.

Loose Charges to Be Weighed.
DR.. Torp, rector of the University of
Copenhagen, says that the charges pub
lished in New York against DR.. Cook are
based on pure fiction. Nevertheless. he
adds, he will accept the offer to exam
inc the documents prepared by Messrs.
Times has agreed to send to Copenha-
sen.
Walter Lonsdale, secretary to DR.. Cook,
who brought the explorers records to
Copenhagen, also declares that the accu-
Stations published in New York and Lon
don against DIR. Cook are totally unbound
ed.
He says that the papers delivered to
the University of Copenhagen contained
the original observations made by DR..
Cook during the expedition, without al
terations.
Cook Knew Loose Slightly.
Mr. Lonsdale stated further that the
explorers report was founded on these
and dictated by DR. Cook to him, no
other person having anything to do with
it. Loose and Dunkle, Mr.. Lonsdale
added, were guests at the Waldorf-As
toria during DR.. Cooks stay there. but
the explorers acquaintance with them
was slight.
Commodore Hovgaard. the noted ex-
plorer. and Prof Olufsen. secretary of
the Danish Geographical Society. also dis
credit the accusations against DR.. Cook.

says:
