DOUBT CAST ON DISCOVERY.
Peary's Disereditins Of Cooks Claims
.StartIes Scientific World.


New York, Sept. S.-Commander
Peary's dispatch today from Indian
Harbor to the Associated Press gives
his first expression concerning the
claim Of Cook that he reached the pole
almost a year prior to Peary, or on
April 81, 1908. Peary's latest telegram
is hardly less notable than his first
announcement, which absorbed the at
tention Of the world. as it gives con-
crete form ito the issues already vague
ly outlined in scientific quarters on the
authenticity of Cooks announcement
and the question of priority in reach
ing the pole. At the same time 1t is
the first expression of opinion from
any one in position to know the facts
regarding the arctic region on which
Cooks claims are based. 1t contains the
direct intimation that Cook never
reached the pole.
Peary's message was in response to
one from the Associated Press appris-
ting him OF Cooks claim. This dispatch
to Peary was sent within a few min
utes Of the receipt of Peary's first tele-
gram announcing his achievement, and
It was evidently the first word the ex-
plorey received on coming within range
Of civilization that Cook had already
set UP the claim of being the first dis
coverer or the pole. fPesvly 5 response
therefore embodies his views on first
hearing the news that his announce
ment OF the diseoyery of the, pole is
disputed by Cook. Cooks lecture at
Copenhagen last might. when he had
ample opportunity ito substantiateh his
claims, was received there without in
dications that 1t was accepted as con-
elusive, and this view is again re-
hected today In increasing skepticism
reported from foreign capitals.
