NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-John
Bradley, who financed the expedi-
ton OF DR.. Frederick A. Cook, which
resulted In the Stars and Stripes

today denied that the explorer had
left on his journey either hurriedly
or that he was unprepared for the
trip.
He stated that Cook carried sui.
ficient supplies TO last for three
years. and that, while he was not
a qualified Judge of scientific In
struments. he believed. from the
price he had paid for them, that
they were of the very best quality.
Bradley refused to say what the
outfit cost him, except that il ran

EXPLORATIONS TO
BE STIMULATED

NEW YORK. Sept. 8 That the
discovery OF the North Pole and
the probable discovery Of the South
Pole in the near future will result
III n great stimulus to Arctic ex-
plorations and a rush of students
and scientists TO the polar regions,
Is the firm belief today of Evelyn
b. Baldwin. the celebrated explorer
and meteorologist
In an interview today with the
United Press. DR. Baldwin said:
DIR. Cooks achievement is simply
wonderful. He was extremely for
tunate in finding chain of islands
where game was plentiful, and also
to encounter such smooth surface
to within five degrees of the pole.
The assistance OF the brave lit
tie EsquimauX was also of great
value to DR. Cook. and they cannot
be given too much credit
The skepticism being manifest
ed regarding Dr Cooks wonderful
feat of travelin 500 miles In S5
days is not well founded, as il not
only was possible. but was very
probable under favorable circum-
stances.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1909-09-03

Il think the finding OF the South
Pole" continued DR. Baldwin, will
be much easier, because there is
continent around there. and the ice.
therefore, will be stationary, while
the Arctic ice is continually shift
ing and breaking.
Il now am getting up an expe-
dition which Is to cross the Arctic
region. and we expect TO start very
soon We will have strong vessel
and hope to drift completely
through the northern ocean, come
out somewhere between the north
east coast of Greenland and Spite
bergen and make side trips in diri-
gible balloons"
