SOCIETY BELIEVES IT
WAS misunderstood

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.-Scversl
hours after the receipt Of Its cahlegram
from the University Of Copenhagen, the
society issued the following:
The cablcgram of The National
Geographic society to the University
Of Copenhagen has been isunderstood
The society did not desire TO partici-
pate with the university 10 sit In Judg
ment with them ON Dr.. Cooks claim,
nor did the society desire TO anticipate
the university by seeing the papers
first. The society has been informed
from Dr. Cook that only copies Of the
record would he sent 10 it.
"Thc society has received many re
quests every day from its thousands
of members asking how soon il would
pass on DR.. Cook S claims, and The
officers have replied that they could
not act until they had seen the orig
inal documents, as in the case OF Com
mandcr Peary. As there was no pros
pect Of the originals coming 10 this
country. the society determined TO send
a commission 10 Copenhagen TO see the
original papers.
''We understand from the answer of
the University of Copenhagen that
these originals will be open for inspcc
tion as soon as the university has
passed upon them. and this is all the
society has desired OF requested.

SATISFIED PEARY'S CLAIMS
ARE WELL FOUNDED
Points Out Alleged Errors in
Statements Made by
Peary's Rival.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-That DR..
Frederick A. Cook could not have
reached the north pole and that Com
mander Peary did attain the goal were
statements made tonight by Rear Ad-
miral c. NJ. Chester, retired.
The officer was a member Of the COM
mission of the National Geographic So
ciety that passed upon Commander
Peary;s data and announced their cor.
vIctiop Of its genuineness. The lecture
delivered to scientists in the hall of the
University club created profound i'm
preston, for 1T was practically the first
utterance of an official of the Geo
graphic society, although given unoiii-
cially. which has openly cast discredit
upon DR.. Cook.
One Alleged Error.
Admiral Chester contcnded that DR..
Cook erred ia saving that at a certain
point Ill his travels north he witnessed
a remarkable sunset. If he had been
at that point, the speaker continued, he
would have found the sun high in the
heavens.
The testimony Of the Eskimos who ac-
coinpanIed DR.. Cook also was reviewed
This testimony, the admiral insisted
showed conclusively that the party wit
messed the sunset at 81 degrees north,
considerable distance from the pole
He also declared that DIR. Cook IS party
would have been compelled TO travel
forty miles a day to have accomplished
the trip. a speed that was impossible
even under the most favorable circum-
stances.
While tonight IS lecture was intended
only for scientists. Admiral Chester an
nounced that he had in course of prep
aration 4 statement to the public which
he said. would establish the truth Of the
matter.

day on a bond of $4,000.
During the day Warrincr made a re-
markablc change of front. In the after
noon he gave out a statement admitting
his responsibility for the shortage, but
declaring thero were others in IT. Later
he changed tactics and declared that

Shortage Is Larger.
The $4,000 named in the warrant for
Warriner s arrest represents the pres
eDt amount owing TO the railroad com
pany and not the entire amount Of the
shortage, which is stated TO be about

The balance, according to the state
ment of General Counsel Hackney, has
been covered by property that Warri-
ner has turned over to the company,
