COOK MUCH CHANGED
SINCE SAILING AWAY

NEW YORK, Sept. H.-There was
much change IN Dr. Cook since his wife
last saw him. When he sailed away in
the summer OF 1907 his teeth were white
and strong and prominent Living OF
frozen food and eating the sort Of hard
stuff the Eskimos devour have worn
Cook last saw him his face was free
OF lines. but starvation and physical
exhaustion, combined with the two ex-
ira years. have aged him greatly.
DR.. Cooks one wish last night was 10

day
When he had been congratulated by
the members OF the Arctic Club. and
been formally welcomed by Bird S.
COler, borough president. OF behalf Of
Brooklyn. Miss Ida Lehman. daugh-
ter Of Otto Lehman. treasurer of the
celebration committee fund, placed a
garland of roses about pT. Cooks head.
This same tribute was also paid him
in Copenhagen, and is considered the
highest token Of appreciation by the
Danish people.
Workmen were busy gil yesterday
erecting the arch I'm 'front.' of DR.. Cooks
home, at $50 Bushwick avenue. and
completing the decorations on the
houses I'm the Bushwick section. The
home Of DIT. r.. T. Davidson, at 693

Cook in the North Pole controversy are

field OF Baddeck. who were shipmates
on expeditions fitted out by both ex-
plorers to penetrate the Arctic.
These old sailors were IN Sydney to-
day to see the Roosevelt steam into the
harbor. They sat on the grass on the
water front and fell to talking over old
times. Both stuck to Cook against
Peary, and both gave curious insights
into the personalities and character Of
the two explorers.
You can hank that IL Cook said he
reached the pole ne got there said
Hollifeld and Sullivan nodded his head
In acquiesence.
I'VE sailed with both men and we
know them" Holliheld added. Sui
livan and myself were with Cook on
the Airindia expedition. along about
1924, and we were with Peary when
he went North on the Hope. There
terent as Cook and Peary,' he con-
tinued.
Cook is fine man: he is generous,
ne hasn't poor streak in him any
where, and he is a gentleman. Peary
is selfish. and while he is brave. he
wants all the glory himself. He is
domineering; his men have to toe the
mark or he's after them all the time
Peary Is conceited, too, but he is
great man in the North. If he says he
got 10 the Pole it's safe to say he did.
But that's no reason WHY he should
say that Cook didn't get there. too.
Peary SAYS that Cook wasn't equipped
