Observation-Disclosures Outfit.

Bar Harbor, Me.-Commander Rob-
ert E. Peary, while on his way
from Portland to Bar Harbor, made
his first authoritative statement
regarding the charges to be contained
in his indictment against DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook. He came here to con-
suit with Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard
over the final preparation of the in
dictment.
In response to the direct question:
What is your strongest line of proof
that DR.. Cook was not at the North
Pole?" Commander Peary replied:
Zone of my main points will be the
strongest that has been advanced in
Arctic exploration-that is the recog-
nized custom of an explorer, when
reaching a point attained by an ex-
plorer previously, to make a copy of
the record in the cairn there, put it
in place of the original, and bring the
original back with him. DR.. Cook did
not do this.
"At Cape Thomas Hubbard l left a
record in 1906. DR.. Cook declares
that, after he left Annatok, he went
to Cape Thomas Hubbard with his
large party of Eskimos. Although he
had men enough to make a thorough
search, he did not do so. He passed
the cape twice to the pole, as he out
lines, but neither time did he say he
had looked Tor the cairn. My record
is still there. If he can show that
record. l will accept 1t as positive
proof he was at Cape Thomas Hub
bard.
