ments were made. Buschmann told De-

DIR. Cook Near New York

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-They found
DR.. Frederick A. Cook tonight. That
is. a statement was issued by his broth
er w. L. Cook, saying that the ex-
plorer, who mysteriously dropped from
public view yesterday, was still near
New York recuperating. He was on the
verge of a nervous breakdown, and his
retirement was absolutely necessary.
The statement follows:
DIR Cook is in the vicinity of New
York trying to get a much needed rest.
If he decides to go to Europe there
Will be no secret concerning his de-
parture. / think that his friends and
critics alike should be charitable
enough to allow him to rest until his
health is fully restored. He has not
been reading the newspapers in the
last few days and is not responsible for
the statements that have been issued
by those who were acting as his
spokesman.
sTn sending his data to Copenhagen,
Doctor Cook has fulfilled his obliga-
tions to the public.
The foregoing was issued by the ex-
plorer's brother in view of the fact
that the doctors apparent seclusion
caused great anxiety among his friends,
leaving even John r. Bradley, his
financial backer, puzzled and exasper-
ated. Mrs. Cook is also In New York
but her exact whereabouts has not been
announced

sCoFFs AT COOKS DATA

Wellman SCOTS at Cooks astronom-
ical data, especially the observation
which he processes to have taken with
in 1.41S feet of the pole.
He is indeed a marvellous traveller,
declares Wellman. who can average
1916 miles per day for more than a
month over sea ice with heavy sledges
and a marvellous astronomical observer
who can locate his position within 400
feet-four minutes walk-and then
advance for the purpose of locating ii
more closely still, like the story of the
amateur mountain climber who ascend
ed a peak and returned with a report
that he measured its altitude by barom-
eter and found it TO be s miles Is rods
Z feet and a inches.
WeIlman declares that such obserya-
tions could be manufactured anywhere
by anybody, and to support this asser-
ton he includes an observation such
as might have been made at the north
pole on April 81, 1908, which | made
today in Washington with pencil and
a nautical almanac.

'W[[LMAN DECLARES
! COOK AN IMPOST[R
Story Of Alleged Discovery Of
North Pole Pronounced Sus=
picious and Vague
Hints at Possibility of "Obserya-
tions" Being Manufactured
From Nautical Almanac

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Walter
Wellman, whose preparations for a
conquest of the north pole in an airship
were abandoned upon the announce
ment of the exploits of DR.. Frederick
A Cook and Commander Robert E.
Peary, tonight issued a long statement
in which he analyzes the narratives
of the two explorers, declaring that of
Perry precise, workmanlike, consist
ent, credible in every particular" and
denouncing that of Doctor Cook as a
self-evident and even deliberate i'm
posture.
Cooks story is suspicnous, both in
what it does tell and what it does not
tell" says Wellman. HE is generally
vague and indefinite; but, like most
men of his class, altogether too pre-
else at the wrong place. Nowhere does
his story ring true. 1t is always an
approximation of reality itself. This is
true of his figures, his descriptions, of
everything
BEYOND HUMAN POWER
THAT which he claims to have done,'l
declares Wellman, referring to Cook,
with his equipment and organization.
was physically impossible. 1t is be-
yond human power.
Taking in order Doctor Cooks record
of his trip northward, Wellman points
to the statement that the Cook party
made 6S miles in three days, despite
bad weather, rough ice and the neces
sity of going twice over a big lead
two miles wide. and this, he adds. at
a time when the sledge loads were
heaviest. Cook, he says, thus travelled
distance 27 per cent greater at
speed of 40 per cent faster than Peary
with his years of experience and his
superior organization
Wellman is especially caustic in his
criticism of Doctor Cook for not turn
ing over his records of his trip immedi-
ately to some scientific body, especially
when his story was questioned by
critics. Records, he says, of any arctic
traveller need no revision, for, if they
are honestly inscribed, they can not be
subject to revision.
