Washington. Sept. 6.--"It is not fair
to doubt DR.. Cooks word in the abb
sence Of any evidence whatever against
him."
This statement was made today by
Capt. A. G. Winterhalter, Of the navy,
chief OF the photographic office here
in speaking of the doubt that had been
expressed in several quarters as to
whether DR.. Cook actually had reached
the North Pole.
Prof. Willis L. Moore. Chief of the
Weather Bureau, said:
Not one time in a hundred thous-
and" he said would DR.. Cook be able
successfully to fake astronomical OBJ
servations. 1 have had much expert
ence in making observations and COM
pilations from them and I speak from
my own knowledge In such matters.
Fake observations from day to day
could not possibly be continued for any
length of time without detection, and
why not walt until access is had to DIR.
Cooks records and books? These in
my opinion will clear up every ques-
ton as to his actually having reached
the pole.
'In the annals OF Arctic explorations
has there been any attempt made to
manufacture observations or make a
fictitious claim Of achievements"
"I feel satisfied of the authenticity
of the whole matter. I see nothing In
the narrative as told by DR.. Cook that
should cause any apprehension or
doubt. A man would have too little
to gain and too much to lose in max
ing any other than an authentic claim
because his fame would be Of too short
duratton and his ignominy would be ev-
erlasting."
The National Geographic Society
with a membership of about 10000. has
its headquarters here and at the next
meeting Of the board the whole ques-
tion of Dr. Cooks discovery will be
threshed over.

GULLY FOR PEARY."
This is Exclamation Of Man WI
Doubts Cook.

Doubts Cook.
Philadelphia. Sept. 8. admiral Mel
Vile. when Informed of the text OF the
Associated Press dispatch from Lieu
tenant Peary. said:
IT Peary has telegraphed the AS
ISOLATED Press that he has found the
pole. I believe 1t and say bully for
him"
Good for Peary." continued the Ad-
miral, as smile crossed his face. II
have known Peary personally for a
long time. and as he was we'll equipped
for an expedition think he had at
least as much chance as DR.. Cook had
for discovering the pole. Peary was
within 200 miles of the pole in his last
expedition and was prevented from 60
ing there by the opening of the ice
packs. He has been gone long enough
to have reached there.
ut was the crazy dispatches pur-
porting to have come from DR.. Cook
about the conditions he found there,
and other things that caused doubt
in my mind about Cook having found
the pole. The dispatches OF yesterday
and today are more sane and are more
favorable to DR.. Cook.
''The Developments of, the last few
days and the Associated Press dispatch
from Peary make the situation most
interesting"
DR.. Henry Skinner. one Of the found
ers of the Geographical Society of Phil
adelphia, and an officer OF the Penn
sylvania Academy OF Natural Sciences
said that the Peary dispatch Indicates
that Peary himself had reached the
pole and placed the flag there. BY tins
time Peary reached there every vest,
ige of the flag left by DR.. Cook wouio
have disappeared. DOL. .-
Dr. Skinner said that It was won,
derful that two American exploreri
should have reported the discovery Of
the pole almost simultaneously ane
that he firmly believed both reached
there.
