COOK TO GET
THE ESQUIMOS
Will Rest His Case on the
Decision of a Council Of
Scientists
Ry unltea Press Leased specIa WIG


COPENHAGEN, Sept. 9.--Dr. Fred
erick A Cook today asked Knud Rass-
mussen to go TO New York to act as
interpreter of the two Eskimos Etuzis-
hulk and Ahwelab who accompanied him
on his trip 10 the North Pole. Captain
Otto Sverdrup. a staunch Cook defend
er against the charges made by Com
mander Pesry. will leave shortly for
Etah, where the two EslSimos were
left by Cook on his return trip, and will
take them to New York to corrobo-
rate his story of the North Pole dis
covery.
Peary charged that these Eskimos
said that Cook was never out of sight
of land and had never gone north I:
also that the rest Of the Eskimo tribe
corroborated them.
Realizing as never before the import
ance of having these Eskimos publicly
substantiate his claims. Cook will pay
the expenses Of Sverdrup in getting
the Eskimos to New York and back
TO their Greenland home and will also
pay Rasmussen's expenses to New York
II he will consent 10 go.
Rasmussen is half Eskimo and half
Dane. He lived for years among the
Eskimos and is thoroughly acquainted
With the language. Rasmussen is au-
thority for the statement that the Es-
kimos of Etah who talked with Etuk-
ishuk and Ahwelab after their return
from the pole werel convinced of the
truthfulness of theiI' story.
Cook believes that the testimony OF
these Eskimos. given in public will &C
long way toward isubstantiating hi:
claims. He says the honesty of the
little inhabitants of the Northern ice
fields has never been questioned and
that any one acquainted with then

PEARY'S FEAT
REMARKABLE
Instead Of Going Directly
North he Travelled by a
Western Route
HAS SOLVED THE
PROBLEM OF CENTURIES
(By Herbert l.. Brldgman. Secretary
Treasurer Peary Arctic Club. STAFF
Correspondent 81 the United Press)

(By Herbert l., Bridgman, Secretary
Treasurer Peary Arctic Club, STAFF
Correspondent 6f the United Pross)
STELLARTON, n. S. Cenroute to
sydney. n. s. September Com
mander Peary's brief statement. as pub
lished in todays papers leads me TO
the belief that the scientific records OF
the trip win show that Commander
peary solved the problem OF centuries
on purely scientific principles and that
his collected data will prove that he
is the man to whom the nation owes
its chief debt for achievement OF prac-
tical results in the Arctic regions.
Instead of going directly north IL
is evident 20 me that Pcary started
west over his own tracks made three
years ago after he returned 20 his ship
from the then "farthest north" fol-
lowing out exactly his often stated
plan.
The chronological story Of his trip
north indicates plainly that his rate
OF travel was much faster the farther
north he proceeded and after he got
clear of the land and the land ice The
first part of the trip averaged 10 miles
a day. while II Is to be noted that on
his last day and while making his
nnal dash. he covered 40 miles a day.
! also note that Peary Is entirely silent
I'm the matter OF $4,000 square miles OF
land of which DIR. Cook spoke. IL
Pcary had seen any now land II Ia al
most certain he would have spoken OF
IL, even IN his brief summary
Il am not surprised that Pcary remain
ed only one day at the pole. one day was
necessary for rest and observations. but
with his necessarily limited food supply
the spot was not one on which TO delay
and hold a picnic.
"rhe return Of Peary in i6 days from th'
pole TO Cape Columbia and his return t'
Tho exact spot from which he started
was, to my mind, a remarkable feat ans
indicates that great progress had bcei
made in overcoming the difficulties q
reaching the pole and that the route Pear
has bazed win be one used by all would
be seekers for a long time to come.
ut IS evident that he encountered niue
more open water than he had anticlpat,
and this must have intcrforcd greatly wi
. his progress II Is also evident from 4
II fact that the supporting party with whi
J. Marvin was connected, reached SB dcgrc
n north. that Peary had an unusually su
y ccssful trip north or he would not ha

COOK TALKS
ABOUT PEARY
Says the Commanders Speed
Confirms the Doctors Tale
of the Pole
STORIES OF RAPID TRAVEL
ARE NOT INCREDIBLE

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
COPENIAGEN Sept. 9.-rhe great
speed attained by Commander Peary on
his dash TO and from the North Pole Is
interpreted by DIR. Cook as one Ink IN
the chain of proof which he believes
Pearys own statements will make for his
Cooks claims.
1t will be remembered that one Of the
greatest doubts raised by DIR. Cooks story
of his discovery was regarding the un-
preccdented speed with which he Travelled
He went from Cape Thomas Hubbard TO
the pole $50 miles, in "a days. or from
March IS to April 2l Cook explained that
lie encountered unusually good sledding'
but Arctic explorers were loath to accept
his statements as their experience with
the ice hummocks Of the far North had
made such speed impossible.
According 10 the chronology OF Peary's s
trip, which was shown to Cook to-day the
naval officer made the trip from Capv
Columbia to the pole a distance. OF 4sO
miles, in 81 days. with fourteen OF these
days TO be deducted for open leads. lie
returned from the pole to Cape Columbia
in 16 days. or from April TO April %.
''These figures are not incredible DR..
Cook declared to-day. They could have
been easily made provided Peary found
the route smooth, which he undoubtedly
did. on his return TO Cape Columbia he
must have averaged more than 30 miles a
day as the trip was made in l6 days and
it is probable that several days had to be
deducted on account of encountering open
water.
Cook Will Wait For Vindieation.
1T is not my purpose 10 enter into
discussion OF Peary's trip Regardless OF
what he says about me. am going to
wait until scientific investigation has
vindicated my every statement which Nm
dication VII, OF course be a refutation Of
Peary's charges. The point I wish TO bring
out is that Peary attained even greater
speed than I claimed in my dash.
..Then. too, II my first account was dis
appointing as some of my critics have
said. what must Peary's first detailed con-
tribution to the world prove to be3 de.
rcribed my journey in more or less detail
Poarv gives nothing but a. chronology.
..Peary will undoubtedly follow this viii
tho necessary elaboration. just as ! ex
pect TO. In my case. I was assailed OF
every hand for giving such an unsatis
factory account. whereas have yet hear'
no criticism Of Peary for the same fault
II fault it be-"
As Or. Cook expected this 10 be his las
day here. he was a very busy man receiv
ing and repaying number Of calls. IL
expected to leave late in the afternoon 10
