DANES TO PASS
ON COOKS DATA
University of Copenhagen
Will Not Yield Its Claim

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
COPENHAGEN, oct. 1S-Unless better
reasons are advanced than have so far
been given the University OF Copen-
hagen will not yield its claim 10 be the
first to examine the North Pole dis
covery data Of DR.. Frederick A. Cook.
The university faculty will meet We'd
nesday to consider the request from the
National Geographical Society OF Amer
lea that II waive its claim in favor OF the
society. 'in view OF the great impatience
that now exists in America" DR.. Torp,
head of the university, said today that
the university would undoubtedly refuse
the request and hold Dr. Cook to his
promise to submit his evidence 10 it
first
The university is inclined to believe that
the university prestige is involved in a
waiver of its claims. There is also a
suspicion IN the minds OF the Danish
public that a movement is on foot in
America TO discredit DR.. Cook. No inn
putation Is made that the American Geo.
graphical Society is connected with such
movement, but the Danes believe that
Db. Cooks case will receive fairer
consideration from the University OF
Denmark than from any other scientific
body.
