event which results in the choice of
Officers, other than president, for the
ensuing year. Scott Hickman was
elected vice president. Lawrence

SUICIDE
Explorer Also Declares That He Was

SCIENCE GETTING SENSATIONAL
LBy Associated Press. l

Paris, Sept. Sin the press opin-
ion there is a noticeable drift in the
direction that DR.. Cook will have
some difficulty in proving his claim
to the discovery of the pole in the
face of the success of Peary.
All the papers agree that Cook
has passed into the background since
Peary's appearance and that he will
be doubted more than ever. Martin
says Cooks lecture at Copenhagen
last night fell coldly on an audience
which awaited proofs instead of re-
vamping of old statements and that
public opinion is changing against
Cook.
The Journal prints another dis
patch from Copenhagen giving an
other version of the story that Cook
said he feared Peary might shoot
him. According to this account a
passenger on the steamer Hans
Egede, the vessel that brought Cook
to Denmark, said that once Cook
made the following statement:
IF Peary ever reached the pole
before me l would take a revolver
and shoot myself
