AGAINST COOK IN PARIS.
Drift Of Sentiment That Explorer Will
Have Difficulty in Proving Claim
Over Peary.

Paris,-The press Of Paris contin-
ues to be absorbed in the rival claims
OF DR.. Cook and Commander Perry to
the discovery of the North Pole, and
there is a noticeable drift of opinion
that DR.. Cook will have difficulty in
proving the validity of his claim in
the face of the succeec of an expert
enced explorer like Pea.
Practically al the newspapers agree
that DR.. Cook has passed into the
background since Peary entered upon
the scene, and some of them declare
that Peary's appearance will doubt
ed more than ever.
The Matin says that DR.. Cooks
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1909-09-18

lecture at Copenhagen fell coldly upon
his audience, which awaited proofs in
stead of a revamping of old state
ments. and that public opinion is
changing against DR.. Cook. Continue
ing the paper says that Professor
Torp. rector of the Copenhagen uni
versity, voted against giving DR.. Cook
an honary degree, and it asks: Would
Professor Torp have acted thus with
out serious reasons?"
The Journal publishes a dispatch
from Copenhagen giving another YER
sion OF the story that Cook said he
feared Peary might shoot him Ac-
cording to this account, a passenger
on the steamer Hans Egede, the
vessel that brought DR.. Cook from
Greenland, declares that Cook once
made the following statement.
eff Peary ever reached the Pole
before me, I would take a revolver
and kill myself"
The Journal also declare that DR..
Cooks lecture made a bad impression
and it claims that King frederick
himself has been disillusioned.
The Petit Parisien says the world
will acclaim Peary the heal conqueror
OF the Pole, and it publishes the insin-
uation that Cook is merely trying to
appropriate to himself the honor
which belongs to Peary.
pie of Denmark"
Speaking to the Associated Press,
DR.. Cook said:
Il am perfectly willing to put my
records before the American coast
and geodetic survey to be compared
with those of Commander Peary, but
1 do not see why 1 should be asked
for such a comparison first
Asked if he had any message for
the public, Cook replied:
Don't you think that would be
rather presumptious? All 1 want is
to get home to my wife and child
rem and to finish my work.
The water front was crowded for
an hour before the Melchoir sailed.
Shortly before 4 o'clock three motor
cars approached. DR.. Cook and
Commander Sverdrup, between whom
a close friendship has arisen since
they met, were in the first, and Dr.
Egan and Miss Egan and various Of
ficials were in the others.
The people broke through the po-
lice barriers as the cars were pass
ing and the women folk threw flow
.ers at DR.. Cook. Shipping in the har-
Dor made brilliant display of flags
in honor of the occasion.
