COOK SAYS 81 DESIRE
NO CONTROVERSIES

COPENHAGEN, Sept. by going
much farther to the east than | did,
Commander Peary has cut out of the
unknown an enormous space. which. or
course, will be vastly useful and sclen-
tifcally interesting"
These were the words of DIR. Freder-
ick A. Cook when he was told today or
the receipt of dispatches confirming the
nreyious reports of Commander Peary's
success in reaching the North Pole.
IT am the first to shout 'Hurrah for
Peary! the doctor continued. IF he
has telegraphed an announcement that
he has reached the pole, then it Is true,
and I congratulate him."
Asked whether Commander Peary
was likely to have found traces of his
progress over the polar seas DR.. Cook
replied: mo; he scarcely would have
come across my tracks
DR.. Cook then said: II understand
that a rumor is current about my hav-
ing taken some of Peary's provisions
At Etah; this Is founded on Eskimo
gossip and misunderstanding. de-
sire no controversy. l simply say in
reply to any such assertion, NO

DR., Cook said also that according to
his present plans he would reach New
York September 20 or 81 on board the
Scandinavian american line steamer

Commodore Hovgaard, who Is an au-
thority on Arctic exploration. 4 SAID
TO DR.. Cook when I heard the news
the commodore declared, "'you, at all
events, were the first to reach the pole
and there you have my opinion briefly,
I think that in justice to DIR. Cook we
should remember he got there first, He
selected what seems to have been the
best route"

NEW YORK, Sept. Herbert L.
Bridgman. secretary of the Peary Arc
tic Club and a recognized authority or
Arctic exploration, contributes an ar
ticle to the Independent, which will APP
peal tomorrow on THE Dash to the
Pole" 1t was written before Com
mander Peary's announcement had been
made, and deals chiefly with DR.. Fred
erick A. Cooks claim to having reached
the pole on April Il, 1908. II says in
part:
.'The announcement that the North
Pole, that lure of the century, has
actually been reached, comes so sud
denly and from a quarter so uneX-
pected that intelligent judgment on the
TACT is difficult. Naturally, writing for
public and forwarding this account by
cable, only the personal and popular
phases would be presented, n any
statement of scientific results or data
would be defer ed. But DIR. Cook would
probably not demand that scientific
rank and weight should be given to his
expedition. 1t was simply a duel with
nature; man, stripped for the fight, en-
CuIIlDtIeu Olby Will II itNCcS'N
ties, determined to make a life and
death struggle for one thing only, the
goal. But the world will ask that
science, though not directly interested
and served, shall verify the claim aid
shall attest the result.
And, therefore, DIR. Cook will doub.>
less be only too willing to offer the data
upon which the confirmation of nara
tive will rest. Records, diaries, note
