Several weeks ago, letter was for
warded to United States Marshal
Walker from the secretary of the Rio
Grande Valley Chamber of Commerce
at San Juan, requesting Mr.. Walker
to give the letter, sgnt. by DIR,
Cook, TO the proper officials in the
department Of justice. The letter,
received by resident OF the Rio
Grandc valley. was glowing with
promises of wealth. The Chamber of
Commerce secretary asked that an
investigation be made of DR.. Fred
crick 4. Cook. The letter was for
warded to the United States district
attorney for the northern district Of
Texas.
DIR. Cook first attracted attention
of the world by his claim that he dis
covered the north pole, April 2l
1908. On his return trip, he was re-
ceived with great honors in the United
States and foreign countries. Upon
the heels of Cooks announcement.
came the announcement from Robert
+. Peary. that he himself was the dis
coverer of the north pole. Scientists
of Copenhagen, after an examination
of data submitted by DIR. Cook, decided
his claim to the discovery of the
North Pole was not sufficiently sub
stantiated. Perry is universally recog'
nized as the first man to reach the
north pole.
DIR. Cook was surgeon with the
Perry Arctic expedition in 1902, and
surgeon with the Belgian Antarctic
expedition in 1S97-99. After leading
several expeditions to explore and
climb Mount Mckinley, he finally an.
nounced that lie had reached the sum

Col Lincoln +. Kilbourne, inspector
general of the Eighth Corps Area,
has been appointed by Maj. Gen. L. NJ
Lewis, corps area commander, to con-
duct an investigation Of the Randle-
Conger controversy, it>was officially
announced TUESDAY morning.
His investigation of the affair be-
iSween the two officers of the Twen'
tieth Infantry that has stirred army
circles since Mrs. Randle. jointly with
captain Randle filed suit for $780,.
600 in civil courts against Colonel
Conger, claiming defamation Of
character, was begun Tuesday.
Colonel Kilbourne was in a short
conference with Captain Randle. and
was later in. conference with Lieut.
enant Rife, Veterinary Corps. of the
Twelfth Field Artillery. Lieutenant
Rife is the officer who made the
original complaint against Captain
Randle.
No Report of Conference.
The conferences Tuesday morning
were held in the strictest secrecy, and
the results will be confidential. Only
those directly connected with the in
vestigation will know the findings of
the inspector.
Other than the appointment of
Colonel Kibourne to make the of
fetal investigation of the Randle-
Conger controversy. General Lewis
said Tuesday morning that he had
nothing further to give out.
Neither Captain Randle nor Mrs.
Randle have given out any authorized
public statement regarding the cir
cumstances that led to the 100000
suit against the commander of the
Twentieth Infantry, both parties
stated Monday.
Appointment No Surprise.
The appointment of Colonel Kill
bourne as the officer to make the Off
cial investigation did not come as a
surprise. As soon as It was learned
that Secretary Weeks had ordered an
investigation to be made various Off
GERS at Fort Sam Houston and
Eighth Corps Area Headquarters
prophesied that Colonel Kilbourne
would be the officer appointed. How
long it will take him to complete the
investigation can not be estimated.
The investigation by Colonel Kill
sho,vne is an effort on the part of
the S&my to arrive at a true knowl-
edge of facts regarding the entire mat
ter. The result of his investigation
will have a decided effect upon future
Developments of the case, as the recon-
mendations made by Colonel Kill
bourne at the conclusion of the in
vestigation will doubtless be followed
by military authorities in disposing of
the trouble.
