remain on the Roosevelt, the news

WILL SAIL SEPT. II OR 18.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. 10
The Associated Press tug Douglas ii
Thomas arrived here this afternoon
Commander Peary's steamer Roose-
welt was found to be in good conditio.
and will leave Battle Harbor Thursday
or Friday for North Sydney. From
that port the Roosevelt will proceed tC
New York and, if it possible she viii
take part in the naval parade at the
Hudson Fulton celebration.
Capt Bartlett is extremely anxious to
weigh anchor and return to civilization,
but as there is danger of encountering
storms, SO prevalent in this season on the
treacherous Labrador coast, he is anX-
ious that every precaution shall be taken
to put the Roosevelt in as seaworthy a
condition as possible. Under the best of
circumstances the steamer is bound to
make a slow run to Sydney, probably not
more than five knots an hour. Command
er Peary is also anxious lest DR.. Cook
should reach New York first. but h" adds
that the Brooklyn explorers attempts to
induce scientists to believe his story will
be futile.

AT BATTLE HARBOR.
Commander Peary Probably Has MOI
Fixed Time of Departure.

sydney, \. s., Sept. 13.-Commandef
Robrt f. Peary is still at Battle Har-
Dor, Labrador, and his family here are
eagerly awaiting word of his depar-
ture on the Roosevelt for Sydney.
Mrs. Peary yesterday received a
wireless message from her husband
that he would keep her posted and firm
this brief word it is assumed that Com
mandcr Peary has not definitely fixed
the time OF his sailing from Battle
Harbor. Further information from Bat
tie Harbor is looked for TO-DAY but the
Roosevelt is not expected here before
the latter part of this week. Plans arc
being made to have Herbert L. Bridg-
man, secretary of the Peary Arctic
Club with the correspondents, meet the
Roosevelt in the vicinity of St PauTs
island and take him aboard the steam
er Tyrian which the government has
turned over to the newspa per mon
The Tyrian is a much faster ship than
the Roosevelt and this would expedite
Commander Peary's arrival here and
at the same time give the correspond
ents an opportunity to question the
Arctic explorer about his dash to the
y.
Pending the arrival of Commander
Peary no new phases of the Peary-
Cook controversy are expected to de-
velop, although the questions that have
arisen are being earnestly discussed
among the members of the Peary well
coming party which is made IN of
Arctic explorers. scientists and CORES
pondentS. 1t is known here that Mr.
Rridgman has suggested to Comman-
der Peary. through wireless kilograms
that because of the temper of the con-
long statement in the matter until he
has reached here.
Sydney is planning. among its other
festivities in honor of Commander
Peary, to present the returning ex-
plorer with beautiful bouquet of
flowers from the hands of young wo-
man. Just who this person shall be has
not yet been decided. and unless the
trouble that has arisen between Wal
lace Richardson, the mayor of Sydney
and John E. Kehl, the American consul
over her selection, be composed, Com
mander Peary may get no flowers at
ali. Mayor Richardson desires that his
two daughters Gladys Muricl and lima
lone, be appointed chief flower girls
with Miss Naomi kehl, daughter of
Consul Kehl as assistant. The consul.
however, is Of the opinion that his
daughter should have the honor of
handing the bouquet to Commander
Peary.

THE BEST YET!
This Frenchman Suggests Peary and
Cook are Both in Error.

Paris. Sept. 13.-Raymond Lestonnat,
a member of the superior council Of
navigation said today he thought the
difficulties of ascertaining a position
in high polar ATTITUDES made it quite
likely that Commder Peary and DR..
Cook were in error. The delicacy Of
the recording instruments. and the
fact that the excessive cold, together
with the refracton of the rays of the
sun, make accurate use of the seXtant
almost impossible. M. Lestonnat said
he thought that a dash to the Pol" had
little scientific value. The real ef-
fects are to be found at the magnetic
pole. where a study of conditions might
furnish most important indications re-
garding the physical properties of the
globe.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1909-09-14

New York. Sept 13-The opinion of
q noted French scientist cabled from
Paris today gave warning that the
North pole controversialistS may de-
feat their own ends. 1t was the first
definite expression of belief that both
Commander Peary and DR.. Cook might
be wrong in believing they had attain
ell the top of the earth A third side
like this generally forms when Cortro-
versias of this nature have reached a
certain stage and the opinion of Ray
mond n Lestcnnat, the member of the
French superior council of navigation.
only expresses n doubt which has add
ed great interest to the controversy.
At the same time there was evident
today q disposition on both side to
await the arrival of both Peary and
Cook on American soil before making
further charges or presenting more ev-
idence. Less than 10 days will inter-
vene before the expected coming of
both explorers and in the meantime
much of the energies of their friends
will he devoted to preparing rival dem
onStrationS of welcome.
Here the controversy shows signs of
settling into definite lines and methods
of arguments. Each claimant has his
own circle of friends and each his own
club While the Explorers Club. which
includes both men in it's members. is
forced to maintain, as an organization,
a neutral attitude, the Arctic Club. to
which Dr. Cook alone belongs. is lead
ing the case of the Brooklyn explorer.
which thus far has not develoned suf-
ficientlv to direct a definite attack up
en- Commander Peary's claims.
Thus far the plans for a JOINT wei
come to both claimants have not TAX
en- definite form. The men who would
he most interested in such move are
too busy arranging for the distinct and
separate receptions planned for each.
The final arrangements for the recep-
ton to DR.. Frederick A. Cook when he
arrives on the steamer Oscar II Sept.
II, are being made today. The exccu-
tive committee of the Arctic Club of
America, which has the work in charge,
promises the demonstration will be no
less than the one explorer received
when he landed in Copenhagen.
DR.. Cooks supporters showed some
of their hand today when they gave
out the import of the so-called mysteri-
Gus letter between Rudolph FRANKIE.
Cooks man and Mrs. Peary They ex-
rlained they gave it because it refuted
the indirect statement that Mrs. Peary
had been asked to send money to Mrs.
Cook. The letter charges that Peary
had taken furs belonging to Or. Cook.
other letters and affidavits which the
Arctic Club holds will probably not be
given out until DIR. Cook arrives and
takes charge personally.
