that of captain. 1t can not make him
rear admiral. for there is no such
rank in the Civil Engineers Corps, in
which he holds mis- commission. IN ad-
dition TO these possible honors, it is
likely that President Taft and the Sec
rotary Of the Navy will commend him
in official letters.
Today's startling dispatch from In
dian Harbor served on the one hand TO
clinch the doubts Of the few who from
the first had been just a bit dubious
about Cooks alleged discovery. and on
the other to confirm in the minds of the
pronounced Peary adherents. especially
in the Navy, their beliefe that ali the
honors should go to him. The general
view Of the extraordinary situation thus
presented Is. however. that judgment
should be suspended until a competent
Jury Of scientists shall have passed upon
the claims OF the rival explorers.

HOT SHOT AT PEARY
Member of Arctic Club "Hits
From Shoulder" in
His Attack.

NEW YORK. Sept S.-"Any one
who knows anything Of Peary's repu-
tation and character knows him to be
an egotist who would stop at nothing
to overcome the advantage gained by
an adversary said Capt B. s Osbon,
Of the Arctic Club. when asked his
opinion Of the controversy between

menJs now" he continued. for il viii

dence and viii eventually show him
up in anything but an enviable light.
The criticisms against DR.. Cook are
childish and especially the one censuring
him for not giving out his proofs in
his lecture before the royalty Of Dem
mark. The only recompense that an
Arctic explorer gets for his trouble and
expense is the money he makes in his
writings and lectures. think he would
be fool to give out bis knowledge
for nothing. after he has practically
begarred himself in obtaining it.
The so-calied scientists who claim
that Cook would not know when he had
discovered the Pole are the silliest OF
the crowd. 1t is the simplest thing in
the world to take observati tons and DR..
Cook IS an expert in that line.
Peary's caDle advising people not to
believe Cooks assertion shows a re-
markabie lack of manliness, and DR..
Cooks answer Is just the reverse.

methods, knows that he IS an absolute

savants seem inclined to pin their faith

A member of the National Geograph-

that that organization. figuratively
speaking, was up in the air. anent the
whole North oPle matter, but the fact
that the tentative plans for the annual
dinner, at which It was originally PLAN
ned to have DR.. Cook. Lieutenant Peary
and Lieutenant Shackleton. has been
for the moment sidetracked lends an
additional element of local uncertainty.
Most diplomatic was the action taken
by the society at it's special meeting
yesterday. Diplomatic also in wording
was the cablegram sent to Commander
Peary. The word discovered" is not
used and a careful perusal of the tele-
gram discloses no expression that can
cause the society Of taking sides" The
formal statement Of the meeting is as
follows:

Peary announcing his success in reach
