This statement was made to the As
eociated Press by Peary in reply to
a question on the Peary- Cook contro-
versy. The Associated Press tug Doug
las Thomas arrived here at noon yes
terday. The Roosevelt was moored in
the inner bay. The Thomas signalled,
'The Associated Press congratulates

from the Roosevelt.
Peary's greeting was cordial. "This

Refuses to Discuss Cooks Claims.
Peary declared positively he would
not discuss Cooks claim until the
main point, whether Cook had actually
reached the pole or not, had been de-
cided by others. He dictated the fol-
lowing:
81 am the only white man who has
ever reached the north pole and am
prepared to prove it at the proper
time. I have already stated publicly
that Cook has not been at the pole.
This reaffirm and I will stand by it,

he had reached the pole should not be
taken seriously, and that I have him
nailed by concrete proofs to support
my statement. In six months you
probably will get the whole story"
He declared his intention to wait un-
til Cook has issued full authorized
Z. statement before he gives out any more
information, and expressed confidence
in his belief that after scientists have

ADVISED TO QUIT TALKING.
Peary's Friends Suggests He prol
Cook Controversy For Present.

Sydney, N. s., Sept. 14.-Commander
Peary and all Of his men are anxious
to get back to civilization, according
to latest news from Battle Harbor but
probably will not be able to reach Sgd
ney before Sept. %. One cause of
Peary's anxiety is the fear that DR..
Cook will reach New York first. altho
he adds that the Brooklyn explorers
attempts to induce scientists to believe
his story will be futile.
One cause of the long delay of the
Roosevelt at Battle Harbor is the dam
ger Of encountering storms SO preva-
lent in this season on the treacherous
Labrador coast. Every precaution will
be taken to put the Roosevelt in as
seaworthy a condition as possible Un-
der the best of circumstances the
steamer is bound to make slow run
to Sydney, probably not more than five
knots an hour
Seek to Hasten Arrival.
The government steamer Tyrian with
newspaper correspondents left North
Sydney last night to meet Commander
Peary and the arctic ship Roosevelt,
somewhere off the west coast of New
foundland. Efforts will be made to get
Commander Peary to board THE Tyrian,
which is much faster ship than the
Roosevelt, and come to Sydney.
Should Commander Peary decide to
remain on the Roosevelt the newspa-
per men will Interview the explorer
and members of his party, where they
will land several hours in advance of
Commander Peary. Mr.. Bridgman did
not accompany THE party.
Mrs. Peary lunche'd last evening with
President Ross of the Dominion Coal
Company. She did not appear so rest
less as during the first few hours of
her sojourn here. She expressed her
self as confident that Commander
Peary would reach this place at the
earliest possible moment.
Mrs. Peary had had no word from
her husband up to / o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and at that hour she said
that the commander probably would
not telegraph her again until he actual
ly left for Sydney. "Commander Peary
does not indulge in speculation said
Mrs. Peary "When he leaves he will
let me know. The Roosevelt probably is
3, coaling. and when all is ready it will
start south. I understand that every
body on board is in good health
Advises Silence for Time.
Pending the arrival of Commander
Peary the questions that have arisen
are being earnestly discussed among
the members of the Peary welcoming
party, which is made up of arctic ex.
plorers. scientists, and correspondents
