SIDNEY, N S.. Sept. S.-The time
Of arrival here of the Roosevelt bear
ing Commander Robert e. Peary is a
matter Of speculation today. A mes
sage from Indian Harbor says the YES
sci did not sail from there until this
morning. It's immediate destination
was not stated, being originally intend
ed going direct from Indian Harbor to
Chateau Bay in order to file at the
telegraph Office detailed story OF his
finding Of the pole. The telegraph
office at Chateau Bay however, has
been abandoned and the nearest teie-
graph Office he can reach is at Red
Bay, 25 miles southwest OF Chateau
Bay. It is presumed that the Roose-
velt will put into Red Bay. 1t Is prob.
able the trip from Red Bay to Sidney
will be made without stop In which
event he should arrive here not later
that Saturday in case the weather Is
favorable. The city is filing with Wis
istors attracted by the news of Peary's
coming. Newspaper men from all over
the United States have telegraphed
for hotel Accommodations and the
scenes that greeted DR.. Cook when he
landed in Copenhagen are to be dupli

Cook Is Prepared.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. S.-'Dr. Cook
is amply prepared to demolish Com
mander Peary at the proper time. He
has scientific ammunition with which
he can riddle every accusation which
Peary in his Disappointment in not being
the first to reach the pole, may make :
This statement was made to the
United Press correspondent by Capt
Otto Sverdrul, the foremost Arctic
authority in Denmark who has been 8
warm defender of Cook from the first
and his acceptance OF the Doctors
statement after examination Of the
| data, did as much as an other thing
to establish the confidence Of the
| Danish people In Cooks claims.
| .You consider then that DR.. Cool
has proved his claim without the shad
| ow Of doubt?" he was asked.
There is no doubt Of 1t in thu
world" he replied he will yet make
/ Peary accept his claim"
There is disappointment in thu
minds Of Cooks friends that he did no
give them something new at the ban
quiet last night, at which the crow
i Prince presided and presented hin
with the society's gold medal 1t wa
expected that he would say something
which would cover up some of the dis
puted points but he refrained iron
taking up any new points. His recer
ito at this meetig was warm and col
dial but the net result of his tw
hours before the geographical societ
will, it is believed, tend to weaken tn
public confidence.

Want tho Proof.


NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The greatest
scientific controversy In modern times
has been prcipitated by the message
received by the United Press today
from Commander Robert Peary, U. $.
n. who declares over his own sigma
ture that he Is the real discoyerer OF
the north pole and that DR.. COOK
never went near the northern ex
tremities OF the globe. Sceptism and
doubt on the part Of the scientific
world, manifested ever since DR.. COOK
came forward with his claim, has to
day burst into an open demand thai
the Brooklyn physician-explorer, come
forward with proof of his claim or be
branded as an imposter. From the
camp Of the Cook adherants there II
coming just as insistant demand
that commander Peary prove his owl
assertions that DR.. Cook is a fakir.
AS result, the scientific value o
the twin discovery of the pole, If In
deed beth Peary and Cook reached 1t
appears to have been lost in the bat
tie as to which explorer first planted
the stars and stripes on the very tol

Cooks Reply.


COPENHAGEN Sept S-When Fred
erick Cook was shown today by the
United Press Peary's statement at
tacling his veracity he replied after
moments reflection. II will not dis
Rrace myself by answering Peary's
charges until the accusation is made
upon scientific data. walt for q
more explicit statement" He was
clearly angered by Peary's assault and
mis- statement is taken to mean that
he VIII wait until the data taken by
himself and Peary is put TO the test ot
scientific analysis. before entering e
more formal denial to the commanders
charges.
Peary's message created the great
! at sensation here since the initial
news of Cooks discovery, despite the
inclinatio OF the Danish people to &C
cent Cooks statements as absolute
nrcof. There is no denying the TACT
that Peary's denial OF Cooks claim
has caused wavering among Cooks
supporters. It has also caused hif
more ardent admirers to come ou'
more strongly than ever.
