Controversy Threatens an
Indefinite Prolongation at
Present Rate.
DANISH SCIENTISTS
SHOWING ANXIETY
Peary's Friends Think Recent Ac-
tons of Cook Have Made
Copenhagen Less Certain.

II Is now Washington against Copen-
hagen, I'm this Peary-Ccok controversy
about who discovered the Pole. who did
II first, and whether anybody at all
did II.
The friends OF Commander Pearv
have recently come TO recognize that
there is possible curious turn IN az
fairs due to the anxiety OF the Copen-
hagen scientists TO protect themselves
IN this matter. Copenhagen is still
pretty loyal &c DR.. Cook, because he
placed the Danish capital on the man
for several glorious days But the
scientific men who gave their indorse-
ment to the original and preliminary
claims OF Cook are nervous. They are
mighty anxious, as the Peary people
are informed. TO get out Of the thing
with credit &c themselves.
Peary BackeTs Confident.
And the Peary hackers. who ere con-
fdent that Cook never got to the Pole
and that Cook can't make up any rec
ord which cannot be. broken down, ad-
NIT their fear that Copenhagen may be
Just a. little partisan in the matter
Copenhagen regards Cook as its hero.
and gives Washington and the Ameri-
can scientists credit for Peary. Now,
the Americans have formally decided
that Peary got there, and the Danes
nl9T conclude to back their man Just
as strongly. Consequently, the Peary
people are more than a little worried
about the outcome at Copenhagen.
Wees ago, as is now well known,
after the hackers Of Peary had def
nitely decided that Cook didn't reach
the Pole, they decided to employ the
utmost effort 10 prove Cook a fraud.
Overlook Nothing.
They have overlooked nothing thus
far. They investigated the Mt. McKin-
ley climb. and they looked into the
Wellington Waek Congo explora lions.
They feel that they have demolished the
Cook claims; bat as It still lies with the
Danish scientists TO give the final word,
there is no concealment Of anxiety
about the oJl' ONE at Copenhagen
Peary's friends in washington have
been pleased With the recent mysterious
performances in the Cook camp in New
York. which they believe will tend 20
break down the Danes confidence in
Cook
Data May Be Kept
The impression in Washington seems
10 be that IL the Cook data develops
any weakness and Cook makes an I'M
satisfactory explanation. then the Danes
may be expected to administer an awful
excoriation to him and denounce him
as an impOstor. But the Peary people
fear that the Cook records. carefully
prepared during the weeks since Cook
got home, viii pass muster: that the
Danes will indOrse the Cook claims, and
that thereafter the Peary hackers NAV
be unable to get access to all the de-
tailed data in order 10 controvert the
Copenhagen finding.
The controversy begins to take on in
ternational possibilities and to threaten
indefinite prolongation.

Represented in Times

BALTIMORE, May 5.-The interest
Of Baltimore athletes in the intercity
Marathon is increasing daily, as the
runners become more and better ae-
quainted with the details of the event
and what It means to athletics in Balti-
more. No organization has developed
more enthusiasm over the idea than the
Fifth Regiment Athletic Association,
which bids fair TO have one of the
largest lists of eutries furnished by any
Baltimore organization. Even thus early
it is almost certain that there viii be
four and possibly six men who will
start under the colOrs OF this regiment.
One of the best runners of this as
sociation is a b. Disney, who has al
ready had considerable experience in
misunderstanding and who has gained a
reputation in fiVe.mile events which en-
titles him 70 serious consideration as
contender in the intercity Marathon.
In discussing The News-Times event
this morning he said: Baltimore has
had little experience with any races
longer than FIVE miles, and the longest
event that I have known OF hereabouts
was twelve mile.
''Notwh hhstanding this however. every
runner that have talked to and who
intends entering is enthusiastic over the
event and confident that Baltimore viii
make a good showing against the
Washington athletes.
Tine prospective contenders from
Fifth Regiment will begin training at
once and work gradually up 20 condi-
ton which gtil fit US for the 20-miIe dis
tance. We hope, as representatives OF
