Peary might have intended stronger
term. 1 have made all my plans to
start for Sydney as soon as l learn
today when my husband will reach
there. l want to meet him and be
with him as soon as possibly can.
You don't know how hard It has
been for me to have my husband
spending year after year in the frozen
north when each time he left on an
Arctic exploration trip 1 didn't know
whether would ever see him again
or not.
But now that he has been success
full and has finally reached the Pole,
believe he will settle down with me
and enjoy the quiet home life"
"Will Commander Peary discover
the South Pole now" Mrs. Peary was
asked
II certainly do not think so, for !
think Mr.. Peary has now acquired all
the polar experiences that he desires -

Asked for an expression on DR.
Cooks expedition, Mrs. Peary said:
''I think it would hardly be proper
for me to pass any comments upon the
claims made by DR.. Cook for 1 know
nothing about the matter. OF course
Mr.. Peary will know if DIR. Cook

SHAckLETON FOR PEARY.

(American News Service)
London. Sept. 7.-Commander Peary
has undoubtedly reached the North
Pole" declared Lieutenant e. II.
Shackleton, the British army officer,
who attained the farthest point south,
in speaking of the latest polar success.
Continuing, Lieutenant Shackleton
declared that Pearys victory would
force DR.. Frederick A. Cook to produce
proof of his claims Immediately with
out waiting for them to appear in his
new book.
1.-The questions and doubts ought to
be set at rest now," said Lieutenant
Shackleton. Cook will doubtless see
the advisability of producing mis-
proofs without delay. America is cer-
tainly'to be congratulated upon being
the first country to have its flag set
upon the Pole

MRS. PEARY is HAPPY.

Harpswell. Me-, Sept. 7.-"Now l
have my husband back: he will never
risk his life again hunting for the
Pole" declared Mrs. Robert E. Peary
at her home on Eagle Island in Casco
Bay, while tears of JOY shone in her
eyes and she hastily made prepara-
tions to sail to meet her adventurous
husband after more than years part
ing.
mander Peary and overjoyed at his
safe return, his wife waited patiently
for word from Chateau Bay, where
he is expected today, and planned to
meet him at Sydney.
Il am the happiest woman in the
world" declared Mrs. Peary, and her
hands trembled as she carressed the
cablegram which had brought word
of the commanders success.
Il knew he would finally reach the
Pole and can't begin to tell you how
happy l am over his success. 1t has
been over 20 years now since Mr..
Peary first sought the Pole and his
life work since that time has been to
reach the spot which has been con-
sidered inaccessible by many and in
the quest of which so many have laid
down their lives.
Il should scarcely believe the glor-
ious news if the dispatch l received
yesterday came from anyone else, but
my husband. But here 1t is and you
may see it for yourself"
This is what the commander cabled
his wife, compressing. even in the
flush of his great victory, a touch OF
mis- homely humor:

If Mr.. Peary failed to find any data
left there by DIR. Cook he would be
more likely to hear of the result of
DR.. Cooks expedition from some OF
the Esquimaux who naturally would
know whether DR.. Cooks efforts had
been attended with success or not
"on this present expedition, Com
mander Peary left Grant Land instead
of Greenland to take advantage Of the
drift ice. while DR.. Cook started from
point considerably further west'
The Peary home was literally
flooded with kilograms and cable

tion to Peary will likely eclipse any
thing of the kind ever done before.
Following the announcement that
Commander Peary would arrive here
within 10 days the fullest possible
speed was made today in the plans for
the Homecoming. Aside from the peo-
pies display the social side will play
a prominent part and there will be din
ners and banquets and lectures and
every other known form of entertain
ment.
It is confidently expected that Com
mander Peary will hasten to Washing
ton Immediately after his arrival here
to lay before the navy department, the
official report of his success. But
this will not prevent the noisy recep-
tion which will figuratively echo from
New York to San Francisco.

COOK NOT JEALOUS.
fAmerican News Service,

(American News Service)
Copenhagen. Sept. 7.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook today gave Lieutenant Robert
E. Peary full credit for his discovery
of the North Pole.
II am glad" said Dr. Cook, to an
American News Service representative
that Peary's efforts were successful.
and am more than glad to know
that the second man to reach the Pole
was an American.
1T is doubtful il Lieutenant Peary
found any of the documents which
left at the pole because the ice is of a
drifting character and in a years time
the fle upon which planted the brass
tube containing my flag and my record
probably would have washed away"
Dr. Cook heard with the keen est in
terest, every word bearing on Pearys
achievement. Cook has cabled his
congratulations to Peary. and today
showed more excitement apparently,
over the new polar discovery than he
did over his own. He cabled the fol-
lowing message to President Taft:
Il am proud OF Peary.''
Discusses at Length.
DR.. Cook discussed at length the
wonderful feat of Peary. more wonder
full in his eyes because Cook announc-
ed with conviction that no other ex-
plorer could attain the great nail" un-
less he followed the western route
blazed by himself.
"If Mr.. Peary sent a dispatch from
Indian Harbor, Labrador, that he had
discovered the North Pole, l am sure
that he has accomplished his life'
mission said Cook with emphasis.
L am proud of him and join with
my fellow countrymen in three cheers.
II have expected him to win his way to
the Pole.
