INCIDENT AT DINNER
INCENTIVE FOR COOK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The per-
sons who attended the annual dinner
or the National Geographical society
in Washington in 1907 today recalled
that both Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the
man who has discovered the north pole,
and Lieutenant Peary, the noted Arctic
explorer, were guests on that occasion
DR.. Cook had accomplished the feat of
climbing Mount Mckinley and was
among the speakers of the evening.
Lieutenant Peary had just made his
'farthest north journey and was the
honored guest of the evening and due
to receive a medal from the society for
his feat, President Roosevelt having
been selected to make the presenta-
ton
1t so happened that DR.. Cook was in
the midst of his address when Presi-
dent Roosevelt arrived. The 300 guests
Immediately arose and applauded the
president, who took the floor at once
and proceeded to the medal presenta-
ton.
DIR. Cooks speech was literally left
in the air and has never been finished.
Lieutenant Peary acknowledged his
honors in a fitting speech and the din
ner broke up Immediately afterward.
A member of the National Geo
graphical society gave it as his be-
lief that Dr. Cook that evening re-
solved to out do Peary in an effort to
reach the pole, for within a few months
thereafter he was on his way to the
Arctic.

COURAGE OF COOK
LENDS CONFIDENCE

ROME. Sept. S.-A correspondent of
the Tribuna interviewed Capt. Umberto
Cagni, president of the international
polar commission, and himself an eX-
plorer of note, on his arrival today at
Gaeta aboard the battleship Napoli.
Captain Cagni said what DR.. Cook
had done was a marvellous piece of en-
terprise, worthy of his Daring He be-
leved DIR. Cook would be capable of
scientifically proving up to a certain
point that he had reached the pole, and
declared that one who has the cour-
age to face the polar dangers cannot be
a man of bad faith.
1.-THE Arctic explorer" said Captain
Cagni, "either must be genuine sci
enlist or a swindler. DR.. Cook is not
a swindler. His undertaking is aston
ishing."
Captain Cagnl hoped that when full
details were at hand they would be
proof that human activity had accom-
plished the task which for so long had
defeated the scientists.
Professor Emanuelh, the astrono-
mer, points out that DR.. Cook must
have witnessed the total eclipse of
the sun which was visible only from
the pole just at the time he is sup
posed to have reached 1t.
This, the astronomer said, would give
him an opportunity to prove scientifi-
cally that he had reached the pole.

POLE FINDER TO BE
GIVEN MANY HONORS

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-America's s
welcome to DR.. Cook will be made
one of the principal events of the Hud-
SON Fulton celebration If he can be
persuaded to. hasten his return so
as to reach New York in September.
To this end the board of directors
of the Explorers club tonight sent
a cablegram urging DR.. Cook TO be
the guest of honor at the clubs Hud-
SON Fulton dinner, Sept. 80. The mes
sage was sent to Copenhagen to be de-
livered when the explorer lands there
tomorrow from the Hans Egede.
If the plans meet with DR.. COOK S
approval and the date tentatively Sc
lected is appointed for the official well
come, an international character will
be given to the celebration by the
presence in New York at that time OF
several of the most prominent explor-
ers of other countries, who will add
their tribute to the official and I'M
official ovations of city, state and ma
ton
Among those who have already made
plans to be in America at the time OF
the celebration are DR.. Fridjof Nam
sen, whose memorable north pole ex-
pedition of 1895 reached the highest
latitude until then attained; DR.. Otto
G. Nordensk1old, the Swedish Antarc-
tic explorer and geologist; Capt. ROAD
Amundsen, the hero of the northwest
passage, who is now fitting out q
Polar expedition to start early next
year: DR.. Stephenson, the Norwegian
explorer. and possibly Lieut.. Shack
Teton, the English naval officer whose
explorations in the Antarctic led him
to the farthest southern point ever
reached by man.

ASTRONOMER TELLS
FACTS ABOUT POLE

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Sir Robert Ball,
former astronomer of the royal OBJ
serVatory, now professor of astronomy
at Cambridge university and one of the
most distinguished British scientists,
has written the following statement on
what the discovery of the north pole
exactly means:
1.-TWO questions being asked all over
the civilized world today are:
First, why does any one want to go
to the north pole?
Second, how does he know when he
gets there?
ITO answer the second question first,
the mariner who finds his latitude in
the northern hemisphere to be 80 de-
grees knows he can be nowhere else
than at the north pole The astronomer
tells you that to any one standing at
the north pole the sun rises and sets
only once a year-six months daylight,
six months night-mitigated only by a
little twilight at the beginning and
end of a period of awful gloom, broken
by occasional moonlight or aurora.
"The pole is truly unique spot on
the globe Cook, standing there, faced
due south whichever way he looked.
He was more than twenty miles
nearer the center of the earth than if
he stood at the equator.
His weight was greater than any,
where else on the surface of the globe.
A plumb line in his hand pointed YER
tically upward to the pole of the heav-
ems around which all stars revolve.
Half of the stars he could never

COOKS TRIUMPH TO
SPUR MANY OTHERS

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Evelyn B.
Baldwin, the Polar explorer and mete-
orologist, expressed the opinion today
that, far from discouraging further
efforts, DR.. Cooks achievement would
prove a spur to explorers, geographers
and scientists.
Mr. Baldwin announced that he him
self was preparing for another attempt
to reach the pole
IT expect to start soon," he said.
1--WE will proceed in a strong vessel
through Bering strait and make our
ship fast in the ice pack. Then we
hope to drift completely through the
northern ocean at the rate of two miles
a day, passing the polar point and
coming out south again somewhere
between the northwest coast of Green
land and Spitzberben. 1 expect to
find land to the west of Crocherland.
We expect to take along a dirigible
balloon which will be useful in making
side trips.
IT think the finding of the South
Pole" continued Mr.. Baldwin, will
prove an easier task than the discovery
of the North Pole. because it is sur

lumber for building sleds and sheds,
and great quantities of staple grocer
les. In all there were sufficient provis-
ions to last the party for three years.
An item which indicates the care
with which the expedition was planned
is that of reducing weight on stoves.
Other polar expeditions carried brass
or iron stoves, which weighed from
twelve to fifteen pounds each.
Stoves of Aluminium
DR.. Cooks stoves were made of
aluminium and weighed only three
pounds each, thus each stove allowed
for the carrying of about twelve
pounds more of provisions to each
sled The fame which comes to DR.
Cook for his achievement will also
bring him a fortune.
His friends believe that wealth
awaits him through writings which he
is most likely to publish, and through
lectures.
A we'll known vaudeville manager in
this city has already cabled to Copen-
hagen Offering DR.. Cook $4,000 a week
for ten weeks to appear in his various
vaudeville houses and lecture on his
Arctic experiences.
The European agents of three other
vaudeville managers have been eabled
instructions to Copenhagen to meet Dr.
Cook and to offer him princely salaries
for his lecture services.
Another result of DR.. Cooks success
may be that the land which he reports
having discovered will be called Cook S
land An effort is now on foot among
DR.. Cooks supporters to bring this

ITALIANS SAY COOK
COULD HARDLY HAVE
MADE ANY MISTAKES

ROME, Sept. 3.-The question wheth-
er DIR. Frederick A. Cook, the American
explorer, did or did not reach the
north pole, brought out statements to-
day from italian scientists and Arc
tic explorers, including the Pied
montese guides who accompanied the
Duke of the Abruzzi on his polar ex-
pedition of 1900.
These expressions all are to the ef-
feet that DIR. Cook could not possibly
have been misled into believing he had
reached the pole had he not actually
done so. He must have carried instru-
ments, it is argued, and made obser-
vations which will demonstrate scien-
tifically the correctness of his asser-
ton
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-04
SAVANTS ARE JEALOUS
AND WILL DOUBT COOK,
SAYS NOTED PARISlAN

PARIS, Sept. S.-Henri Rochefort,
writing IN La Patrie, expresses his
stupefaction over DR.. Cooks discovery
where so many others have failed. He
points out that even if the perform
ance is attested the explorer must ex-
pect to see his conquest doubted.
There is no group more jealous
than the sayants," Mr.. Rochefort
writes.
M. de Ia Grange, dean of the sec
tion of geography and navigation,
Academy of Sciences, declared today
that the extreme low temperature, SO
degrees centigrade below, and the rap
idity of DR.. Cooks march would tend
to discredit the narrative in the minds
of savants, who must await further
information.

WEEPS AT SIGHT
OF FIRST BOUQUET

LONDON, Sept. 3.-A special dis
patch from Skagen says:
"As the steamer Hans Egede steamed
by I caught through my glasses a
vision of a small man in a dark suit
and peaked cap shading his eyes with
his hands, as if straining to see the
welcome civilization after years in icy
exile. 1t was DIR. Cook, the explorer,
whose name is on every tongue. He
was chatting with the captain on the
bridge, now smiling, now waving ms
hands. / was allowed to board the
Hans Egede.
"Somebody gave DIR. Cook a bouquet.
Tears dimmed his eyes as he buried
his face in their fragrance.
"'Its years since l have seen How
ers,' said the explorer with a culver
of emotion in his voice.
"I followed him to the cabin. His
face was tanned from exposure.
"He looked the picture of splendid
health. Only when he smiled one no

"'My dinner has been poor these
last few years, and I shall have to
make up for it,
'Dr. Cook then briefly described his
journey. Regarding his discovery, DR..
Cook said:
"'Then came April 21. That was the
great day. We looked for the sun.
LAS soon as we got it, l made sew

over us.
we were only sixteen miles from
the desired spot.
:" Il said to myself: "Bully for Fred

"'The last stretch was the easiest
ever made in my life. although I had
still to make two observations and the
ice was very broken here.
"'But my spirits were high and 1

looked at each other, surprised at my
gayety. They did not share my JOY.
Stood at the Pole
"'I felt that 1 ought to be there. I
made my last observation and found
that I was standing on the pole.
"'My feelings-Well, l was too tired
really to feel any sensation.
"I planted the Stars and Stripes in

was asked.
"'Well,' said DR.. Cook, smiling, 1T

SCIENCE TEACHERS AT
NEW HAVEN REFUSE TO
DOUBT EXPLORER COOK

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. S.-The
report that the Chicago professors dis
believe that DIR. Frederick A. Cook dis
covered the north pole called forth criti-
cisms by Director Chittenden of the
Sheffield scientific school, whose guest
DR.. Cook had often been. and by Prof.
Brewer, who accompanied DIR. Cook on
one of his Arctic trips. Prof. Chitten-
den said:
81 think the stand taken by these pro-
fessors Is manlfestly unfair and Is GER
tainly unealled for. think they should
wait at least until his return"
Prof. Brewer said: 81 shall believe DIR.

SAYS COOK MAY BE
DELUDED BY TRAVEL

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.-That Dr.
Cooks reported discovery of the North
Pole may be a mental illusion on the
part of the explorer, superinduced by
the monotony of a two years sojourn
in Polar regions, was the belief ex-
pressed today by DR.. Robert M. Keely
of this city DR. Keely accompanied
Peary on his North Greenland expedi-
tion in 1912, and thus became inti-
mately acquainted with DIR. Cook, who
was a member of the party.

his horizon, and would have been visi-

1.-The famous constellation Orion cir
cled around and around his horizon.
The pole star stood directly over his
head.
"The gain to knowledge from DR..
Cooks discovery is inestimable. There
still is much to learn of tides, currents
and the ocean,"

There is nothing to see but ice, ice
