DIR. FRED A COOK
IS HEARD FROM

New York, Jan. 3.-William l.
Cook. brother OF DR.. Frederick a.
Cook. declared today that Mrs. Cook
had joined her husband. and that he
was in communication with them.
Mrs, Cook Is asserted to have the ex-
plorers original records Of his North
Pole quest In her possession.
''Dr. Cook has by no means aban-
doned his intention to prove conclu-
slvely, despite tho verdict OF the Co
penhagcn university. that he reached
the North Pole" said his brother.
"and his detractors will have a pretty
bill to pay.
The talk that Mrs. Cook is es-
tranged from the doctor and that she
contemplates suit for separation
with large alimony is unwarranted-
Mrs Cook is standing by her hus-
band and will continue to do SO. Just
now she is OF immeasurable comfort
to him. and together they are planning
and working for the future.
Il have positive Information that
DR. Cook and his wife will publicly
appear together, and that then there
Will be a great change OF feeling. II
may be only few weeks and It may
be months before they appear publicly
again, That all depends on how long
1t requires DR.. Cook to fully substan-
tiate his claims.
Mr.. Cook declined to say whether
DR.. and Mrs Cook were In this coun-
try OF abroad.
