CONFIDENT OF FINAL ISSUE

FORMATION RESPECTING
HIS MOVEMENTS

Steamship Oscar II, (via Marconi
wireless) Sept. 17-"rell the people Of
America to have the fullest confidence
in my conquest of the pole. have
records OF observations which will
prove my claims
This message Cook asked the As
ISOLATED Press to give to his country
men as he nears home.
Cook discussed freely the assertions
of Peary that Cook had never reached
the pole, and told d detailed story
of how Boatswain Murphy, who WAS
placed by Peary at Cooks supply de-
pot at Annatok, made trading post
of the place and wrongfully used his
supplies
Cook explained that Harry Whit
ney was placed in possession of the
facts concerning my Journey to the
pole, on condition that he would not
inform Peary or his men of them, and
the Eskimos who accompanied me
north were told to maintain silence y
and that, therefore, Peary's informa
ton concerning him emanated from
Murphy, who knew nothing of where
he had been. Cook said he had ar
ranged for the two Eskimos who went
to the pole with him to go to New
York to confirm his story.

Peary Continues turbulent

Battle Harbor, Lab. Sept, Ill eat.
Peary in an interview today said his
party took five observations prior t.
reaching the pole. Two were made and
worked out by the late Professor Ross
Marvin. When 125 miles from the p lie
the third observation was made by
Capt. Bartlett. l44e fourth and fifth
were made by himself, the last beng
five miles from the pole proper.
Several observations We're taken at
the pole all by himself.
When asked if any one saw him de-
posit the copy of his records in an
ice cavity at the pole, Peary decline
to answer.
Peary said Cook was expected by
the world to submit to an impartial
tribunal an authentic signed statement
Of his alleged discovery of the 70
Peary said when this was done he
would turn over an array of testimony
which would disprove Cooks claims
for all time. The explorer sad also
he would turn over ce tie copies
his own observations and all other in
formation bearing on the trip 10 the
pole. 1t is rumored here Peary's brief
will contain sensational statements.

lish his rights to the heritage of a
long line of royal ancestors. Further
than that, he does not seem to care
very much who rules Turkey or who
Is at the head of the Islamic world. AS
matter of fact, Prince Joseph Is a
stanch Christian, and instead of sit
ting on the throne where Mohammed
V. now sits, he prefers to remain just
where he is
Prince Joseph is declared to be di-
rect descendant of the Alkeryish tribe
from which the remarkable prophet of
Arabia sprang. Mohammed ", the
present ruler of Turkey, is the thirty
fifth sultan Of the dynasty of Osman
who usurped the Chalifat and estab-
lished the Osman throne in 1900, CEN
turtles after the time of Mohammed.
For this reason, it is asserted, Mo-
manned V. cannot be seriously re-
garded as rightful heir Of the
prophet.
In the cult from whence Mohammed
sprang the chief was always the calf
or vicar of the Mohammedan world
until Osman usurped this power and
founded his own dynasty.
Prince Joseph Shehab is said to be

WAIT FOR COOKS STORY
COPENHAGEN BELIEVES HE CAN
PROVE HIS CLAIMS.
Parallel Drawn From Stories Of Two
Explorers Tends to Prove they
Made Same Trip.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. TO-
(By Wreless). Robert E. Peary die
tated the following statement to the
Associated Press for publications:
"a am the only white man who has
ever reached the north pole, and | am
prepared to prove it at the proper
time. | have already stated publicly
that Cook has not been to the pole.
This re-affirm and will stand by 1t,
but | decline to discuss the details
here. The result will come out later.
have said that Or. Cooks statement
that he had reached the north pole
should not be taken seriously, and that
| have him nailed by concrete proofs
to support my statement. In six
months you probably will get the
whole story. 1t would not be policy
with the subject as it now stands. To
do so would be giving out much In
formation of which other uses could
be made. | intend to wait until Dr..
Cook has issued his full authorized
statements. UP to the present time
there have been only newspaper &C.
counts of Dr.. Cooks alleged polar
trip, and these may or may not be
accurate. When DR.. Cook has time
&c issue complete authorized ver-
sion Of his journey it will be the pro-
per opportunity for me to make public
the information which ! have. After
that the jury-in other words, the
people and the scientific bodies of the
world-WiIl pass Judgment on the mat
ter, and there will then be nothing
left of Dr.. Cooks case but his own
assertions that he has reached tho
north pole. In the meanwhile, it is
my determination not to deal with de-
bates for the reasons already stated.
-"Robert e. Peary."
