Peary Took His Provisions.
"As TO the story that Commander

matte incidents Of the week. CON-
mander Peary's dispatch denying that
DIR. Cook had achieved the triumph for
which he has been feted and honored
In Copenhagen beyond the lot of any
other private person. has been read
here with feelings OF amazement and
concern. But DR.. Cook himself seems
in no wise disturbed. He was perfectly
cool and apparently unmoved when
confronted with kilograms from the
United States saying that Commander
Peary had denounced him as an i'm.
postor. His demeanor has not changed
In the slightest from the day he landed
- Copenhagen.
Or. Cooks friends had urged him to
their utmost to make any statement
possible for the public. but he had saiG
repeatedly that all he had to say for
the present was that he possessed
proofs that he had visited the North
Pole on April 81. 1908. Those proofs
were convincing and In due time would
be given to the world.
Regarding the controversy over his
alleged taking Of Peary's stores. DIR.
Cook asserts that he has written and
other satisfactory evidences that
Peary took his stores. perhaps believ
ing him dead. Harry Whitney IL

facts. and perhaps what he has to saw
when he returns may be interesting {"

DIR. Cook told Captain Sverdrup and
another friend the day after he had
landed here that he hoped there would
be no unpleasantness over supplies
with the Peary party: that he had
