RAYMOND whom she first married,
she said. in 1890, is her uncle as well
as husband and that two children, now
16 years and ID years of age re-
spectiveIy, we're born of that marriage.

(American News Service)

San Antonio, Texas. Feb. 25.-While
not doubling that Robert E. Peary
may have reached the north pole, DR..
Frederick ]. Fielding Of this city is of
the opinion that confederation will be
needed before the world in general
will recognize this country's claim to
the discovery of Peary. What is more
he is quite willing to dedicate his
own efforts and money to that pur-
pose. Although he has correspondent
with both the National Geographical
society and Commander Peary he has
SO far made little progress towards
that end; the former have advised
him that they are fully satisfied with
the achievement of Commander Peary
and the explorer has so far failed to
even reply to the letter of DIR. Field
ing.
Is in Earnest.
II am in earnest about this thing"
said DR.. Fielding when interviewed on
the matter, Il have no doubt that
Commander Peary reached the pole,
or possibly thinks that he has reach
ed it. While l am not fully familiar
with the Instruments he used in his
observations, I have been informed by
a number of leading scientists that
the ordinary instrument used for or
ientation purposes would hardly prove
to be serviceable in the Polar regions.
Whether this is SO or not I am not in
position to say, though the men,
who have warned me to take along
special instruments in case l should
go, are above having Interior motives.
1.-The north pole question is not set
tied by any means because the Nation
al Geographical society says it is full
ly satisfied with the achievements of
Commander Peary. Their refusal to
submit Peary's data to other learned
bodies, while excusable from certain
points Of view, is somewhat unscien-
tific. The fact that the expedition
was conducted under their auspices,
no doubt, gives them the right to
pass on the case first, but to- remove
papers should be submitted to other
learned bodies, the University of Co.
penhagen, for instance.
81 am not interested in this mat
ter from a controversial point of view,
nor do look upon the proposition as
a picnic. 1t would cost me all of $780,
900 to finance the expedition as far
as my part of it goes, and while spend
ing this sum would not hardship me.
certainly do not want to spend it
uselessly, and make a fool of myself
besides. The fate of DR.. Cook has
not the slightest attraction for me.
If the National Geographical society
and possibly Commander Peary think
this is a joke they are badly mistak-
en-. I have invited both of them to
participate in this undertaking not be-
cause I intend to disprove anything

trip to and from the north pole with
absolute safety.
Trusting to hear from you at your
earliest convenience, have the honor
TO remain. very respectfully,
Frederick J. Fielding
Now Ready for Others.
so far l have not heard from Com
mander Peary and l am not likely TO
hear from him now For this reason
the offer as outlined by me is open to
any qualified body that may wish TO
avail itself of it. Who they are | do
not care provided they have the high
est standing in the scientific world"
Speaking of the feasibility of invad-
ing the Polar regions with a dirigible
balloon, DR.. Fielding said that there
was not the slightest chance for fail
ure.
The dirigible balloon has been
shown to he perfectly safe if handled
properly and by experienced men.
Using hydrogen gas will enable me to
make the flight to the pole and the
return passage, without mishap.
Aboard the dirigible will be a tank
of compressed hydrogen gas which
will be used for compromising leak
age if there should be any. This will
enable us to remain in the air at any
altitude for much greater time than
will be needed. l propose to equip the
machine with 200 horsepower mo-
tor, which will enable us to travel at
an average speed of at least so miles
per hour. From the point where navi-
CATION ceases to the pole is only 500
miles and the trip there and back
could be made in about so hours
flight. To guard against accident the
machine would carry an extra supply
of provision. several sleds and their
dog teams. as we'll as one or two Es-
kimos. Some of this load would be
carried as ballast and used as such on
the return trip.
My attitude in this matter" DR..
Fielding concluded, lis neither search
for notoriety nor iconoclastic."
Dr. Fielding. although wealthy, still
practices medicine in this city. From
being an ardent yachtman he became
one of the most noted aeronauts in
this country, and is now president of
the San Antonio Aero club of Texas.
