bO II MAY
BE WRONG
French Scientist Says
Cook and Peary May
Both Be Mistaken.

New York, Sept. 13-The opinion
of a noted French scientist, cabled
from Paris today. gave warning that
the North Pole controverallsts may
obstruct their own ends. II was the
first definite expression of belief that
both Commander Peary and DR.. Cook
might be wrong in believing they had
attained the top of the earth.
At the same time there was evident
today a disposition on both sides TO
await the arrival of both Peary and
Cook on American soil before making
further charges or presenting moro
evidence
The final arrangements for the re-
ception of DR.. Cook. when he arrives
here September 21. are being made to-
day. The executive committee of the
Arctic club of America promises a
demonstration which will be no less
than the one the explorer received
when he landed at Copenhagen
Cooks supporters showed some of
their hand today when they gave out
the import of the so.called mysterious
letter between Rudolph FTancke,
Cooks man. and Mrs. Peary. They
explained they gave out the Informa
tion because 1t refuted the indirect
statement that Mrs Peary had been
asked to send money 10 Mrs. Cook
This letter made charges that Pcary.
had taken furs belonging to DR.. Cook.

bers few days ago on charges of com
picity in the murder OF Bow Kun,
Chinese slaye-girf, who was found
stabbed to death in her room on Aug
ust Is. The Hip Sings were accused
of having furnished the testimony.
There has been an air OF uneasineSs

shooting last night, the police search

day, and report that they conflscated a
quantity of firearms All residents Of
