SCHlEY THINKS
COOK REACHED
NORTH POLH
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Ad-
miral Winfield Scott SchIey believes
that Or. Ere derick A. Cook reached
the North Pole. After careful and
panstakine study, Admiral Schley
declares he has found no reason for
believing that Cook did not reach
the pole and the evidence furnished
by Peary in support Of his claim
substantiates the claims Of Cook.
Il believe that both Cook and
Peary reached the pole" declared
Schley. II think Peary is the best
witness in Cooks behalf. ! cannot
see how any partial man can COM
pare the accounts of the two eX-
plorers, without concluding that one
might have been written because OF
the other, and that both men saw
what they described. There is glory
and money enough for both. The
trouble viii Cook is precisely the
same that has confronted many be-
fore him. The first explorer is al
ways discredited."
