Cook Says He Isn't
Liar and Attacks Peary

You viii say, perhaps, l am Sc
we're. I am bound to be severe: I
have tried mild methods. am now
defending my honor and that of my
family, and l must show this in its
true light. I insist that we have
national investigation of this CON
temPtible intrigue. am ready to
meet every word that I have said
with legal documents, With my own
money and with my fist if necessary.
How win the matter end7 Truth
will prevail, truth has prevailed, for
my narrative, which is now out in
book form, has been under the micro
scope eye of all the world for three
years and not one line has been truth
fully discredited. There is the proof
OF history. : On the other hand, the
data as presented in that narrative
has been sent to the explorers of all
the world. They nave had three years
to examine and re-examine the whole
problem and they have now come out
IN black and white and have endorsed
my claim and among them are such
men as Captain Road Amundsen, who
has reached the South Pole; Captain
Otto Sverdrup, who discovered the
land over which our work was done;
Professor Lecointe, secretary of the
international Bureau of Polar Re-
search; Captain Baldwin, the late
Rear-Admiral Schley These and
thirty other Arctic explorers believe
that I have reached the Pole. On the
other hand, those against me, and for
Mr.. Peary are three long-fingered pol
iticians, three monkey-wrenches of
that "Steam Roller" three men who
have never seen a piece of Arctic
ice. Now, seriously, these men do not
know the difference between the
North Pole and barber pole.
I'm the end, in the last analysis,
you are bound to depend upon expert
opinion, but you may choose your ex-
perts. VIII you take the word of
thirty explorers from all lands who
have no axes to grind, or will you
take the word of three long-fingered
politicians in Washington I leave
my case with you. Think it over, and
remember want no money, no PEN
sion, no government favor, no favor
whatsoever, but, as private citizen,
I do want the credit, and the honor
of work for which I have spent my
own money, and at which I have
risked my life during twenty years,
and all that I need to get that is
plain American fair play. You, I am
sure, will grant that.

runs.
River Falls scored their lone tally
in the first inning, when Moline,
the first batter, walked, stole second

out 10, and Lehman, who finished
the game, famed 6, making a total
of 19 strikeouts in all.
