thentic.

this telegram. / think he acted rashly
and inadvisedly, to say the least. If he
had proof of Cooks dishonesty, which
feel confident he had not, it was not
his place at this moment to send out
any such message as this. Others could
have cleared the matter up with far
more grace under the circumstances
This dispatch is almost more astound-
ing than the news Of the discovery OF
the pole itself. 1t is certain to stir up a
boiling controversy, and l do not think
we have heard the end of the matter by
any means. There is more than one
mysterious aspect of the two trips to be
cleared away. 1t is easy to give the lie
but sometimes 1t comes back again to

lieved in the trustworthiness of Com
mander Peary, but l cannot understand
this remarkable message"
Melville Would Place Lie.
Admiral Melville said:
BE sure the telegram is from Peary
If SO. whatever Peary says goes. Peary
will not lie. People seem to think that
this mixup over the pole will last hun
dred years. Now as a matter Of fact
neither Peary nor Cook could stand the
cross-examination of an expert board for
an hour without being positively dis
credited II he were a faker.
I think the best way out of the con-
troversy would be the appointment by the
composed Of naval officers and professors
of astronomy in the various colleges.
Such court could determine in short
time who was doing the lying, If any is

Canadians on Pole Trail.
The likelihood Of third discoverer of
the north pole turning up soon was dis
cussed by DIR. Henry E. Wetherill of
1874 Walnut street. who has spent much
time in exploring work. Capt Joseph A.
Bernier, Canadian, went intos the polar
region more than year ago and has
not since been heard from.
"It Is not unlikely" said DR.. Wetherill.
that some report from Bernier may yet
be had and that he may also have reached
the north pole. Since the region about
the pole is water 1t Is going to be some
what difficult to determine exactly
whether claimants to discovery have been
there or not. In my opinion it will be
entirely matter OF pinning ones faith
to the honor Of the claimant. Taking is
easy, and the only way to disclaim a
faker is by going to the pole for your
self.
II think Commander Peary has acted
unwisely If he based his charges against
Cook on the testimony OF the Eskimos.

message confirming the report OF the

Career of Prof. Marvin.
Prof. Marvin was the first assistant to
Commander Peary and chief scientist OF
the successful north pole expedition. in
which his life has been the forfeit.
AS told in Commander Peary's dis
patches, he was drowned April 10 forty
five miles north of Cape Columbia while
in command Of the supporting party.
His mother said before the news of his
death was received here that she hoped
and prayed for tidings Of her son. She

born.
Ross Marvin, after a course in the FL

through Cornell University, taking uu
classics and later course in civil enyi-

ana indomitable courage and spirit. These
were characteristics also of his maternal
grandfather. lillian Mccain, under sher-

His Courageous Ancestor.
In 1853. while Sheriff Mccain was in

might obtain degrees offered at Cornell.
His courage and scholarship attracted the
attention of the faculty. and when Com
mander Peary. in arranging his expedi-
ton to the arctic four years ago, asked
Cornell to lend him a vigorous man to
collect scientific data. there was no hesi-
fancy in selecting Marvin, who was able,
ready and willing for the adventure.
Prof. Marvin and Commander Peary be-
came close friends. and the moment the
latter decided upon a final venture to the
polar region he invited Prof. Marvin again
to become first assistant. Marvin ac-
cepted on the spot.

his return he remained on the instruct

to himself and suffered from lip de-
formity which made speech troublesome
and awkward But when he and Herbert
Berri returned from Peary's polar ex-
petition two years ago his class was
proud of him.
lege friends remembered, Marvin accom-
panied Peary in this dash from the expe-'
dition's last encampment or station
toward the pole. After they had Travelled
they found that they would not have
sufficient provisions to continue north
ward together. So Marvin took barely
enough food to keep him on the return
trip and Peary continued on alone.
When the expedition returned the story
of Marvin's accompanying Peary on the
polar dash came out and went the round
of the clubs where Marvin's classmates
were, and they made. much Of him.

Explorers and Scientists
Demand Pole Evidence

NEW YORK. September 9.-The cable

dispatch from Commander Peary and
hesitated before speaking.
Then he said:
Well. at this stage of the game
suppose we must expect almost any,
thing II both men have discovered the
pole suppose they will be able to pro-
duce convincing proof before a board Of
scientists.
What we must wait for now are these
proofs DR.. Cook must give them as we'll
as Peary. l think it is fair In view Of
all that has been said for the public to
demand proofs.
This question of whether or not Dr.
Cook got to the pole Is not to be decided
on the word of a couple of Eskimos, al
though / have understood that the two
who went with DIR. Cook were ready to
bolster up his assertion.
What will count is the scientific proof,
and that, / fell positive, Dr. Cook must
have. / cannot make myself believe that
he or any other sane man would make
such a claim II he could not back it up.
The thing to do now is to wait. II
can't be long before we shall know all
about 1t. It's as fair for DR.. Cook as
for Peary to have the proof submitted
to the acid test"
Fiala Believes Eskimos' Word.

Quoted the Ziegler expedition, declared
that II the Eskimos who had gone with
DR.. Cook were In doubt as to the dis
covery OF the pole 1t would put q new
