Sidney, N. s., Sept. 20:-The
Canadian government checkmated
Commander Robert E. Peary and in
voluntarily aided DR.. Cook in his
CONTROVERSY when it devolved today
that the real reason for Peary's stay
at Battle Harbor has been the hope
that DR.. Cook would reach New York
and be interviewed at length while
Peary remained silent. Then, with
the knowledge of all that Cook said,
Peary would be prepared to make
out his case The government, how
ever, sent eighteen newspaper men
to Battle Harbor on the cableship
Tyrian who interviewed Peary. The
interview developed the fact that
Peary bases his claim that Dr. Cook
was not at the pole chiefly on the
fact that Harry Whitney did not tell
Peary of Cooks claimI Cooks
equipment was "meagre" when he
reached the Annotok camp.
