BRITISH GET FUND
TO FIND SOUTH POLE

LONDON. Sept. 13.-British pride. stir

the North Pole by Americans, today

hours from the time Capt Robert Scott
announced that he would find the South
Pole if s2OO,OOO be subscribed to equip

found
While Captain Scott prepares his men
and his expedition, throughout all Of
England there Is the gravest concern
lest Dr. Charcot should appear from
the South Polar regions and claim the
honor OF having been the first white
man there, forestalling the English
again.
The English did not take at all kindly
10 the fact that Peary sent Captain
Bartlett back with a supporting party
before the Pole was reached. Peary
kept Bartlett, a British subject, with
him as the last white man until ne had
exceeded all previous "farthest north
records. and then ordered him back
The English papers declare they &C
cept this as no compliment, avowins
that England Is not used to being sec
ond in the field Of human endeavor
They admit the fact that between DIR
Cook and Commander Peary there can
be no doubt that the Stars and Stripes
have been nailed TO the North Pole. and
they asked anXiOusly this morning IL
the French flag Of DR.. Charcot the
English jack or the American Stars and
Stripes is first 20 be nailed at the South
Pole.
The answer was instantaneous. In A
few hours the necessary 100000 was
forthcoming.
Captain Scott will start in July. with
two supply bases, one At MacMurdd
Sound and the other, IL possible, in King
Edward VII Land He will attempt TO
reach the Pole by using ponies. motor
sledgss. and dogs. Lieutenant ShacLeI-
ton, who holds the record of being the
nearest TO the South Pole. will not ac-
company him on this expedition. but
other noted explorers will go.

Danish Explorer Again Comes to Support Of Brooklyn
Man and Doubts Report That Whitney Did

Frederick A. Cook again today by call

patch from Cape Ray, Newfoundland,

Whitney, the New Haven hunter. had

The Inference in the dispatch Is that
Cook did not mention the discovery 10
Whitney. whereas. according to Rss-

spector Henry B. Davis. who. in mis- an

Mr. Davis regards the lack Of public

Washington, have installed them. He
further urges that this recommendation
