DR.. COOK DEPARTS
EN- VOYAGE HOME

ON BOARD STEAMER OSCAR H.
Sept. 11.-(By Wireless to Copenhagen.
The greeting accorded DR.. Frederick
A. Cook upon his arrival this morning
at Christiansend savored strongly OF
the triumphal return to his own coun-
try Of a victorious warrior.
The American explorer came over
from Copenhagen on board the steamer
Melchior, and it was II o'clock by the
time that vessel had cast her anchor
cables length from the Oscar IL.
From daylight, however, Christian
send had been watching for the en-
trance of the Melchior Every Vessei
in the harbor was gayly decorated win
flags and all available small craft mad
been chartered TO bring out slBhtsecfs
from the shore.
salute of seven guns was fired
from the deck of the Melchoir and
was answered by seven guns from the
Christiansend fort. This especial honor
was accorded DIR. Cook, civilian, on
q special order issued by King Haakon.
AS soon as the smoke of the saluting
guns had cleared away steam Launches
started out from the shore bearing the
civil and military authorities to the
vessel, with DR. Cook on board. Ihe
explorer awaited the officials on the
bridge of the Melchior.

M. Cold, the manager of the Scandi-
nayian line, who had accompanied him
from Copenhagen, stood by his slde.
The ship band played the Star Span

deputations paid homage to the ex-
plorer.
The steamer Oscar II, with DR..
Frederick A. Cook the American ex-
plorer, on board, left Christianseno,
Norway, today for New York. She Is
due to arrive September Il.
DR.. Cook arrived at Christiansend
from Copenhagen on board the steam
er Melchior. The municipal authorities
went aboard the vessel in the harbor
and the burgomaster of Christiansend
delivered speech of welcome, IN
which he congratulated the explorer
on his achievement.
DR.. Cook in his reply eulogized the
explorers of Norway. In the course OF
his remarks he said:

CONTROVERSY GROWS
WARM IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Cook
Peary controversy over the discovery
of the north pole continues to rage, ana
the great achievement itself Is some
what obscured, if not lost, in the in
tensity of feeling which has been
aroused.
Commander Peary's latest dispatch,
challenging DR.. Cooks claim, and char
acterizing it as a gold brick" has
added fuel to the already fierce fire.
Each explorer has his camp OF loyal
champions centering in the various
polar organizations with which they
have been identified, but ramifying

society has made no formal request of
any character in connection with the
Cook -Peary dispute.
Lieut.. Ernest H. Shackleton. noted
antarctic explorer, will be asked by the
Coast and Geodetic Survey to aid in
the dispute between Lieut.. Peary and
Dr. Cook, as to who discovered the
north pole first and who will get the
credit. Great interest in the case has
developed in Washington and in all
government circles.
Commander Peary's first official noti-
fication to the navy department direct
of his return and of his discovery of the
north pole reached the department this
morning in the following dispatch sent
by him from Battle Harbor yesterday:
"Respectfully report my return; hoista
ed navy ensign on north pole April s.
"PEARY."
The following message has been re-
ceived at the state department from
Commander Peary:
Pearys Message

Honorable Secretary of State, Washing
ton: Respectfully report hoisted stars
and Stripes on north pole April o. ana
formally took possession of that entire
region and adjacent for and IN the
name of the president of the United
States of America. Record and United
States flag left in possession.
"PEARY."
Acting Secretary Adee of the state
department, in answer to inquiries said
that the state department had no COM
ment whatever to make, as there was
no question before him.
Responding to Commander Peary' $
dispatch, Acting Secretary Winthrop
sent the following telegram of congrat-
ulation:
Commander Peary, Battle Harbor,
Labrador: Your telegraphic report re-
ceived. Navy department extends
hearty congratulations on your sue
cessful attempt to reach the north pole.

ing hastily formed on a prodigious
scale for the welcome to be accorded
to the two claimants for polar honors.
Pearys latest challenge to Cooks
claim is viewed with varying shades
of feeling by the supporters of the two
men, 1t is accepted by both sides as
a direct charge of the untruthfulness
of Cooks narrative.
1t is noted that Peary adds the state
ment that he has proofs of his state
ment contradicting Cook; also his in
tention to present the proof, when
Cook makes his full statement of his
journey over his signature"
What Peary Wants
Peary requires that his written state
ment from Cook shall be made to
some geographical society, or other
reputable body"
The use of the contemptuous phrase
"a gold brick" in reference to Cook s
claim is looked upon by the champions
of DIR. Cook as particularly offensive" >"
They regard it as not only challenge
of his veracity, but as one of such
serious import in rejecting upon Cooks
methods that it calls for immediate
substantiation from Peary.
Whether he will give this substantial
ton at once is open to doubt in view
of his statement that the proof would
be presented when Cook made full
statement.
The Arctic Club of America further
perfected its plans today for welcom-
ing Cook A steamer to carry 1000 per-
sons has been chartered to go down
the bay to meet the explorer on his
arrival on the Oscar II.
NTo,a,r er,1icbad perSoOS inplI1d-
ing the chief officials of Brooklyn and
representatives of scientific and geo.
graphical bodies, will be invited.
Mrs. Cook will be a guest. A f1otilla
of steam crafts, yachts, tugs, etc, is
preparing to move seaward to greet
the Oscar II.
Plans for DR.. Cook
The plan is to bring DIR. Cook to the
landing at New York, whence he Will
proceed across the city to Brooklyn.
The borough will be decorated and a
huge floral arch will span the street
approaching his modest home on Bush
wick avenue.
The plan for Peary's reception also
is being elaborated by his adherents,
but details are in allegiance, owing to
the uncertainty of the time at which
he will reach New York. He was to
have reached Sydney today, but delays
at Battle Harbor will put off the ar
rival at Sydney until perhaps the mid
die of next week
His dispatch to his close friend, Mr..
Bridgman, fixed Wednesday as the
time of his arrival at Sydney.
There a great reception by the peo-
pie of Nova Scotia is awaiting him,
and there also Mrs. Peary and Mr..
Bridgman, with scores of newspaper
correspondents, are gathered.

PEARY SAYS HE HAS
ANNEXED POLE AREA

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ito the
president of the United States, and to
the secretary of state, before whose
department may come any question
that may arise regarding the right OF
possession of the region of the north
pole and the arctic region traVersed
by Peary, and to the navy department
of which he is an officer, Commander
Robert E. Peary has communicated
the results of his expedition and the
fact that he reached the north pole and
hoisted the stars and stripes, on April
last.
In reporting to the state department,
Commander Peary, after stating that
he hoisted the stars and stripes at the
north pole April 6, adds that he formal
ly took possession of that entire re-
gion and adjacent, for and in the name
Of the president of the United States
of America" and that a record and
a United States flag were left there.
Report Typical
The commanders report to the navy
was typical of that of an officer re-
turning from a mission announcing to
his superior officer respectfully that
fact, and adding that he had hoisted
the navy ensign on the north pole on
the 9Th of April.

in the absence of Secretary Knox, who
is at his Valley Forge home.
A copy of Peary's dispatch was sent
to the secretary. Mr.. Adee declined to
make any comment
Mr. winthrop promptly sent to Conn
mander Peary a dispatch on behalf of
the navy department, extending his
hearty congratulations.
Mr.. Winthrop voiced the sentiment
of the navy officials when he said the
navy department naturally was graf
fled that Civil Engineer Peary had
succeeded. The commander is now on
leave of absence from the navy de-
partment, but is ordered to duty with
the coast and geodetic survey, making
'stidal observations on the coast of
Grantland and Greenland"
Leave to Be Extended
The acting secretary said there was
no doubt that Peary's leave Of alb
sence would be extended until such
time as his report to the coast and
geodetic survey was completed.
The members of the National Geo
graphical society are watching with in
tense interest the progress of the
stories of the Peary and Cook expe-
ditions to the north pole.
Both Commander Peary and DIR. Cook
are members of the society.
It has been suggested, though not by
officials of the society, that arbitration
of the claims Of the two men might be
well left to the National Geographic
society as we'll as to the Coast and
Geodetic Survey. in view of the inclu-
sion Of both men in the society's men,
bership and the generally representa-
tive nature of those who make up its
rank and file.
The society. however. has taken
action attesting it's concurrence in the
acceptability of the arbitration by the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, which is
represented on the board of managers
of the Geographic society.

The Gold Brick
By DON MARK LEMON
Copyright. 1909. by Daily Story Pub. Coz

The two men stepped from the
curbstone to cross the street, when
the heavier mans right boot toe came
in contact with an object lying in the
gutter. He swore softly, as he noted
that he had scuffed bit of patented
surface from the toe of his shoe.
His companion stopped and picked
up the offending object. 1t was about
the size and shape of fire brick, and
quite heavy.
Better get it in the toe than in
the neck" he laughed, tossing the
object to the other man. Its gold
brick, jim"
The man whose shoe had been
scuffed miscalculated the weight of
the brick, and it slipped from his hold
and fell on his left foot. He did not
swear softly this time, for the brick
weighed about 80 pounds.
You'll pay thousand for your
kiddin'!" he growled, caressing his
injured foot. Got the money on
you?"
His companion laughed. Keep the
brick, Jim, and sell it for two thou

He could no longer support himself on

street to maintain his equilibrium, and
he was too full-blooded for such gym

growlsd. "And not a red cent for
you" He picked up the offending
brick and struck it with his knuckles
