DIR. COOK MUST
PROVE HIS CLAIM

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Sept. s-~Dr Cook
must act at once and prove his claims or
be discredited."
This was the comment made to-day by
Dr. Henry Gannett, vice-president OF the
National Geographic Society, when shown
the United Press despatch from Comman-
der Pesry branding Dr. Cook as a fakir.
'I notice. DIR. Gannett continued, that
your report says few scientists doubt
Peary.' You can make IL stronger than
that No scientists doubt him"
DIR. Gannett was asked II Il were pos
sible for astronomical observations pur-
porting 10 bear out claims that the pole
had been reached could be faxed"
1T is possible" he explained. "for
a clever man to do this. One with
good knowledge Of the conditions OF
the sun each day might be able TO
compile a record that on its face
would indicate that il had been made
at the Pole itself. This would not
stand, however, under the scrutiny of
men who are advised in such matters
and inaccuracies as TO the position Of
the sun, geographical data, and polar
conditions would be bound TO be dis
covered"

SAYS ATTACKS ON DIR.
COOK ARE CHILDISH

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-"Any one who
knows anything Of Pearyss reputation
and character knows him TO be an
egotist who would stop at nothing 70
overcome the advantage gained by an
adversary" said Captain b.. S. Osbon
Of the Arctic Club. when asked his
opinion OF the controversy between
Dr. Cook and Commander Peary.
"The criticisms against Dr. Cook are
childish and especially the one censur-
ing for not giving out his proofs in
the lecture before the royalty OF Den
mark The only recompense that an
Arctic explorer gets for his trouble
and expense is the money he makes in
his writings and lectures. I think he
would be a fool TO give out his knowl-
edge for nothing after he has practi-
cally beggared himself in obtaining IT.
THE so-called scientists who claim
that Cook wouldn't know when he had
discovered the pole are the silliest Of
the crowd. 1t is the simplest thing in
the world to take observations and DR..
Cook is an expert I'm that line.
"Peary's cable advising people not
TO believe Cooks assertion shows a re-
markable lack Of manliness and Dr.
Cooks answer is just the reverse"
