AT the close of the year 1899 the
Post Dispatch offered a prize for the
first baby to make its appearance
in st. Louis on the first day of the
twentieth century. The prize was
awarded to one born to the Shaws'
home at 1920 A. M, January list,
1900. Out of gratitude, the parents
named the babe julius Pulitzer,
but it survived.

AT POLE TWO DAYS.
DR.. Cook stated that he was at the
pole two days. Calculations could
not be accurately made but common
sense methods were employed. He
said: 81 know l was at the pole be-
cause the sun was the same distance
above the earth during the entire
"a hours of the day and shadow
was the same length. The reason
that calculations at this point are
bound TO be inaccurate is that there
is no land there to fix the position,
but instead a floating ice field. OBJ
servations could not be taken the
same as by ship captain because of
the fact that the sun is so near the
horizon while the mariner has the
advantage of a high sun. There is
no life at the pole. The ice there is
from 10 to so feet thick and moves
about three miles a day"
MAKES HARSH CHARGES.
DR.. Cook then took up the north
pole controversy. He said in part:
Il do not challenge Peary's claims.
Peary has stopped to the lowest
depths to discredit my polar attain
ments. Louis Frank, as is known,
was left in charge of our camp sup
plies about rs miles from Etah when
we forged on toward the pole. He
was taken sick because of improper
nourishment and was dying. When
Peary came with his ships, fitted up
at the expense of the government, fly
ing the United States flag naturally
Frank was overjoyed TO see them.
Weak, hungry, sick, exhausted and
dying he staggered on board the
Roosevelt and asked for a cup of cof-
fee. Instead of being granted his
wish he was thrown OF the ship.
Now Frank had furs and ivory in his
charge worth $4,000 and my camp
AMI supplies worth s25, 900. Peary
decided he would get hold of this out
fit worth in all s35. 900 and in this
way on my return I would starve to
death and never be able to submit
my proofs He wanted TO murder
me by starvation So he took Frank
on board and gave him food and
drink shortly after.
STOLE COOKS RECORD.
"Peary then pushed on north. A
year later when he returned he went
into the telegraph Office at Labrador.
where there was a complete report
OF my polar observations. He took
these records and went away for a
week. When he returned he had di-
gested all the facts and then sent in
his telegraphic reports. which ex-
plorers say are identical with mine.
Peary appropriated or took $4,000
from the government in unearned
money besides funds subscribed by
the public which he used for his own
private ends. This money was to
have been used for the purpose Of
furthering the discovery of the pole.
Peary did not attempt TO find the
pole. No, his fur and ivory business,
which netted him and his friends
100000 apiece every year was far
too profitable. The pole might have
been reached 10 years ago with hon
est effort can show that the money
subscribed by the school children
was used for immortality that would
put the white slave trade TO shame

The National Geographical society is
neither national nor geographical. 1t
is a standardization society, a Peary
stock company with Peary as the
main attraction. This society, pos
ing as neutral party, judged the
proofs of Peary's expedition. There
were three personal friends of Peary
on the jury and one man related to
him by marriage. The jury bartered
their souls for him. They did not
examine his instruments at all and
only hastily went over his observa-
lions.
ADMITS NO POSITIVE PROOF.
The University of Copenhagen ex-
amined my evidence. The men at
the university said that there was no
positive proof, but did not say that
the pole had not been reached. Peary
sent out forged news items and had
reports circulated that the university
had repudiated my claims. Peary
also thought that If he could discred-
it my Mount Mckinley climb that 1t
would discredit my claims to reach
ing the north pole and so set out to
bride the man who was with me on
this ascent. What 1 am about to
say now / can prove. Agents under
Peary's orders first offered this man
$1,000 if he would state that l did
not make the ascent. At a later date
he was offered $1,000. My compan-
ion said he needed the money but
did not wish to barter hts soul. Lat
er in the Office of the Seattle Times
in the presence of the editor he was
offered $4,000. Finally in Tacoma,

this man 1900 outright, but he was
given other considerations to the
probable value of $4,000 and then
made out an affidavit denying my
claims as TO the Mount Mckinley
climb. This affidavit is now in pos
session of the Peary trust"
WOULD LIKE A FIGHT.
In concluding, DR.. Cook said: ct
am defending my own honor and
that of my family and am not making
an attempt at back fire. l am ready
10 defend this honor with my own
money and with my fist. My claims
are endorsed by the leading explor-
ers. / want no money, nor medals,
