I LONDON'S DOUBTS
OF COOK P
That Explorer Sent His Proofs (
to America Displeases
Some Britons.
HIS DELAY IS CENSURED
Daily Chronicle Skeptical About Re
liability of Instruments Vsed In
Taking Ohjierratlons In Far
Xorth Xetva In Support.
LOXDON. Sept. 5. "Tr. Cook's state,
merits In Denmark In support of his
claim have rather strengthened than j
otherwise the doubts as to the value or
his observations."
This sentence from the Morning Post
is representative of the attitude still
held by a section of the London dally
papers, which, while insisting on the
necessity of preserving an open mind
pending the production of details of Dr.
rook's scientific observations, express
some surprise that the latter have been
sent to the I'r.ited Ptates Instead of
belr.R brought with him for Immediate
nrodnctlon.
The Daily Telegraph, which hitherto
has been a whole-hearted defender of
Dr. Cook, and even today :ulmits that
ills retic'.ence is both reasonable and
cllscrrot. conferees that any delay, how
ever Inevitable, is bound to act detri
mentally to the explorer's immediate
position. It further points out that a
similar controversy might have arisen ,
over Captain Amundsen's penetration
of the Northwest P.-.ssage had It not
been so easy to prove.
The Daily News. in an editorial,
strongly supports Dr. Took. It thinks
he bas emerged triumphant from a se
vere cross-erca-nlnatlon and that abso
lute proof that he reached the Pole .
never will be forthcoming. '
"Tnless Dr. Cook's power of judg
ment has been Impaired by cold, hard
ships and loneliness." says the paper.
"the evidence for the truth 01 nis siory
seems stronger than the possibility
either that his observations were wrong
or that he has deliberately chosen to
make an April fool of the whole civil
ized world."
Why Rend Proofs to America?
The Daily Chronicle, in a highly
skeptical article, asks how Cook sent
his proofs to America, and why. if he
was able to send them to America from
Greenland, he did not go to America
first himself? It points out that in the
conditions Dr. Cook describes as pre
vailing at the Pole, the amount of re
fraction prevailing would be enormous,
the sun appearing not as a disk, but
as a mere blurred oblong, and to talk
of observations of the minuteness of
"14 seconds" Is pure nonsense, because,
says the paper, the liability to error
would amount to "several miles."
The Chronicle further wants to know
what kind of an artificial horizon Dr.
Cook used. If it was of mercury It
would freeze, and if not frozen would
tremble so violently as to be useless
for observation purposes. If, as Dr.
Cook relates, there was a moving sea
under the Ice. While the editorial col
umns thus differ, a majority of the
Copenhagen correspondents appear, to
fee firmlv convinced of Dr. Cook's ver
acity. They all. give full details of the
severe cross-examination to which he
was subjecte". and with few excep
tions are quite content to wait for
further developments. The Dally Tele
graph's correspondent wires:
AH Correspondents Convinced.
"When Cook arrived he reminded one
of Robinson Crusoe. After he had been
shaved and reclothed he appeared to
resemble the Emperor of Germany."
The Copenhagen correspondent of the
Morning Post says:
"At first introduction it Is difficult
to believe that Dr. Cook Is the hero
of a dash to the Pole. In conversa
tion, however. It soon Is apparent that
he Is a man of great energy and large
practical knowledge."
The Dally News correspondent says:
"There were hardly any of us who
swarmed around Dr. Cook who were
not convinced of the genuineness of
his claim."
The correspondent of the Times de
clares that Dr. Cook entirely satisfied
him as to his good faith.
Louis C. Bernacchl. who was physicist
In the Antarctic "Discovery" expedi
ting in a long letter to the Times,
makes the same point against Cook's
story as that made by the Chronicle,
and points out that the theremometers
for registering such a lowfc temperature
as Dr. Cook mentions are exceedingly
delicate and fragile Instruments and
not likely to stand the Arctic Journey
without breaking.
Would Withhold Judgment.
The Times, in an editorial urging
that Judgment on Dr. Cook's claims
must be suspended until the full story
Is published, expresses the hope that
no accident will happen to those vital
credentials of success original note
books and instruments from which Dr.
Cook seems to have parted with "rather
Imprudent light-heartedness."
"Until Dr. Cook's evidence can be
tested." says the Times, "the prevail
ing attitude among fair-minded men
must be one of willingness to credit
his story. For reasons adduced by
Bernacchl in our columns today, and
for other reasons. It must be regarded
at present aa quite conceivable that
Dr. Cook's conviction that he reached
the Pole Is genuine, but mistakes may
occur."
RESTS ON VERACITY ALONE
Lick Observer Says Sextant Read
ings at Pole Could Be Faked.
LICK OBSERVATORY. Mount Hamil
ton. Cal.. Sept. 5. "Dr. Cook, with the
instruments he carried, could have deter
mined the position of the North Pole
with an error of less than 500 feet," was
the opinion of Dr. W. H. Wright, as
tronomer in charg of Lick Observatory,
In the absence of Director W. W. Camp
bell. "All the instrument needed." aald Dr.
Wright, "was a sextant. With three ob
servations taken the same day Dr. Cook
could have determined his position with
a possible error of less than ten seconds
of arc. This would be roughly 1000 feet,
and Dr. Cook could ay positively that
the pole was somewhere within a circle
of SOT feet radius, within which he him
self was standing.
"As these observations could be faked
by anyone with a fair knowledge of as
tronomy, the discovery rests on Dr.
Cook's veracity alone. For my part, I
do not think him a man who would fake
his observations and from what I have
read I believe he made the Journey.
"At the north pole the sextant would

Dr. Cook's flag and brass tube at the

alone. His chronometer readings on his
return trip, with the sextant readings,

problem than his observations at the

CHAMBKKIJX IS SKEPTICAL-
ChicBKO Professor Wants More Than
Cook's Word.
CHICAGO. Sept. 5. The latest re
ports on Dr. Cook's explorations have
failed to convince Professor Thomas C.
Chamberlln. professor of the depart
ment of geology of the University of
Chicago. that the Arctic traveler
reached the North Pole.
"It is not up to the skeptics to dis
prove Dr. Cook's story," snid Professor
Chamberlln. "Rather, it is up to him
to make good. There Is nothing so far
to prove that Cook ever reached the
Pole. We have nothing but his own
word for It. We should have further
proof; for. If he actually reached the
Pole, he would have made a statement
that would have set all doubt at rest.
This Is nothing new. We all knew It
was coming. I heard long ago that
when Cook returned he would claim
this. If his story be true, he will have
abundant proof of It.
"If this proves to be a 'fake' I am
not going to help him out by showing
him how. It may come to a test, and
he should not be furnished with ma
terial for a defense. The test of the
Eskimos, while undoubtedly of soma
value, would not be conclusive."
NAXSEX PEFERS EXPRESSION
Will Not Base Opinion as to Pole
Discovery on Press Reports.
CHRISTIANIA. Sept. 5. Captain
Friedjof Nansen returned last night from
Bergen. Telegrams from alfc parts
requesting an opinion on Dr. Cook's
achievement awaited him, but Captain
N-vnsen said he did not wish to answer
them before the particulars were made
public
To a correspondent he said that errors
In newspaper rjparts were apparent and
that certain points of the published state
ment required elucidation.
Personally, however. Captain Nansen
declared he had confidence in Dr. Cook's
trustworthiness. He himself considered it
possible to reach the North Pole by the
aid of dogs, but pointed out that the
placing of a report and the planting of
tha Stars and Stripes in the ice were
useless, as the drift would carry them
away from the spot.
STANFORD MEN' ARE CON VINCED
Astronomy and Mathematical Heads
. Believe in Cook.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.. Sept.
5. Professor Townley. head of the de
partment of astronomy at Leland Stan
ford University, said tonight that Dr.
Cook could easily have determined his
position within a mile of the Pole with
the simple Instruments he carried and
that he saw no reason why the reports
of his discovery should not be accepted.
Professor Townley said that Dr. Cook
had succeeded because weather and ice
conditions favired the explorer and that
he expected Ptary also to reach the goal
this season. -
Professor E. L. Green, head of the
mathematical department, also believes
Dr. Cook's statements. He said that the
observations necessary to determine the
explorer's location could readily have
been made and with sufficient accuracy
by a man of Dr. Cook's training.
MRS. PEARY DIDN'T SAY- IT
Denies Casting Reflections on Dr.
Cook's Reputation.
JOitTLAND, Me.. Sept. 5. Mrs.
Robert E. Peary, wife of the Arctic
explorer, tonight requested the Asso
ciated Press to say that she had not
said anything reflecting on Dr. Cook's
reputation as an explorer, i reported
some newspapers.
Mrs Peary said that for the last two
days her mail has consisted largely
of anonymous letters denouncing her
for making statements against Dr.
Cook. Some of the letters were very
bitter, she said. Mrs. Peary added:
"l have studiously 'avoided saying
anything about Dr. Cook. Of course, if
he has reached the Pole I congratulate
him. I do not want to be mixed up
In the controversy between scientists
and explorers."

BEAUTYJS CLEVER
Wife Restores in Part Edward
R. Thomas' Fortunes.
$200,000 HER EARNINGS
Former Multi-Mlllionalre Whose
Extravagances Ruined Him Is
Now on Easy Street Again
Through Woman's Work.
NEW YORK. Sept. S. (Special.)
Due to the fact that he has a wife
who la clever as well as of surpassing
beauty, Edward R. Thomas, former
multi-millionaire, bon vlvant and club
man. Is again In some measure on easy
street, financially.
Mrs. Thomas, it Is reported on good
authority, has by speculation cleaned
up within the past six months some
thing more than J200.000.
Mrs. Thomas, before her marriage.
Was Miss Linda Lee, a famous Ken
tucky beauty. Thomas wooed and won
her in whirlwind fashion, after an ac
quaintance which began at the tracks.
The young millionaire took his bride
to New York, to London and to Paris,
and each place In turn she took, she
took by storm, so far as was concerned
the exclusive set in which the couple
moved.
Thomas was noted for his reckless
extravagance, as the owner of several
world's famous racehorses and for his
wild automobile driving.
Finally a crash came and Thomas be
came bankrupt. Then Mrs. Thomas'
cleverness came into evidence. With
her own modest private fortune as a
nucleus, the famous beauty set out to
restore her husband's fortune and her
own. Investment after investment she
made and speculation after speculation.
Now it Is announced her gains total
$200,000. And the end is not yet.
L
STOCK MARKET IMPROVES
WITH HARRIMAN'S HEALTH.
Favorable Factors Are at Work and
Influence Is Felt in Most
Lines.
. NEW YORK, Sept. 5. When business
began on the stock market last week evi
dence had been accumulating over Sunday
that served to dissipate the anxieties that
had been keeping the market unsettled
and excited. More exacting information
concerning Mr. Harrlman's health almost
quieted hysterics on the subject. With
the clearing away of the anxieties caused
by Mr. Harrlman's Illness the way was
opened for resumption of influence by the
favorable factors in the general situation.
The influence of steel trade advices was
not supplemented effectually from the
Conner trade, owing principally to the sta
tlstical position of that metal. Resales of
copper metal and a further eccumulation
of stocks in European warehouses sug
gested the Inference that speculative buy
ing had been a large factor in such In
crease In demand as had occurred, while
the sustained rate of production argued
difficulty in sustaining the price of the
metal.
The agricultural prospect suggested
some causes for anxiety. The Govern
ment cotton report showed so heavy a
deterioration as to bring it to a percent
age lower than ever before at this sea
son. It needed full allowance for the
compensating influence of the enlarged
acreage and the heavy reserves Implied
by the showing of last year's unprecedent
ed crop to mitigate the bad effect of this
showing.
The money market Is subject to close
scrutiny owing to the contending factors
at work there to afreet the future, but
the actual effect on rates has not been
sufficient to begin an active influence.

PRESIDENT MAY

Shackleton and
Cook.
INVITATIONS AUTHORIZED
American Geographical Organiza
tion Will Soon Express Its Faith
In Arctic Explorer Annual
Dinner to Be Big Event.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 President
Taft will be Invited by the National
Geographical Soci-ty to present nir.dalo
to the British Antarctic explorer. Lieu
tenant Shackleton, and the American
discoverer of tne North Pole, Dr. Cook,
at its annual dinner in December at the
New Wlllard Hotel. Willis L. Moore,
president of the society, said today:
"I hava already been authorized to ask
the President to present the medals to
Dr. Cook und Lieutenant Shapkleton at
our' annual dinner. Lieutenant Shackle
ton has been invited to attend and Dr.
Cook will also be Invited at the next
meeting 'of our board of managers. If
a majority of the members of the board
have returned to the city by Tuesday I
shall call a meeting to take official action
on Dr. Cook's discovery. I feel it safe
to pay the to.ird will set lls-rlf on record
as firmly believing in Dr. Cook and his
discovery.
"I regret to say that there has been
In some quarters, since Dr. Cook's dis
covery of the North Pole, an attempt to
revive the discrediting reports of his
ascension of Mount "McKlnley. Our so
ciety had Dr. Cook lecture before it on
the smbject of Mount McKlnley, and I
assure you we would not have in"ited
him if there had been the slightest doubt
of his integrity, courage and ability."
Frederick B. Wright, who was with Dr.
Cook in the Polar regions on a previous
expedition, said:
"As a personal friend of Dr. Cook, hav
ing been with him on one of his Arctic
expeditions, and being a charter member
nf the Arctic Club of America. I feel it
Incumbent upon me to do what I can to
counteract the effect of the statements of
the. scoffers and doubters, who are so
quick to discredit the report of Dr. Cook's
discovery. None of his reports of expedi
tions in former years, both in tne
Nortii and South Polar regions, have
been questioned, to my knowledge. He
has always passed for a rename ex
plorer. But now that he has done
something spectacular, his veracity Is
doubted by some, especially those who
have a reason for not desiring his suc
cess. He certainly should not be
Judged before a full account is obtained
and his notes and a complete record of
his observations are made public."
Professor A. F. Zahm, a well-known
scientist, said tonight:
T have discussed the discovery or
the North Pole with many scientists of
this citv and have yet to find one wno
does not accept Dr. Cook's statement
of his discovery as the absolute iruin.
Not only the scientific data of his story,
as written by him, but also the fact
that he is a scientist and a gentleman
compel this conclusion.
SUCCESS DID NOT THRILL HIM
Cook's First Thought at Pole Was
of Return Trip.
PARIS Sent. 5. A special dispatch from
Copenhagen gives Dr. Cook's version of
further Incidents of his expedition to the
Pole, when there remained only two laitn-
ful Eskimos as an escort as ne piungea
over the vast extent of polar seas, on
approaching, he said, the icy plain took
an animated motion aa if rotating on an
Invisible pivot.
"A great flssue then opened up be
hind," he added, "and It seemed as if we
were isolated from the world. My two
Eskimos threw themselves at my feet,
and, bursting Into tears, refused to con
tinue either one way or another, so para
lyzed with fear were they. Nevertheless I
calmed them and we resumed our Jour
ney. "You ask my Impressions on reaching
the Pole. Let me confess, I was disap
pointed. Man is a child, dreaming of
prodigies. I had reached the Pole, and,
a moment when I should ( have been
thrilled with pride and Joy, I was in
vaded with a sudden fear of the dangers
and sufferings of the return."
COOK DINES AT PALACE
(Continued From First Page.)
were so greatly interested in the story
that they remained In the drawing-room
much later than is their custom.
It was easy to be seen that the royal
family had implicit faith In Dr. Cook.
It has been decided that after Dr. Cook's
visit to Brussels he will lecture at Paris.
We then will return to Copenhagen and
sail from here for New York.
Head Is Not Turned.
One of the most interesting features of
Dr. Cook's present position is that he is
about the only man in the world who
does not realize how conspicuous and
much talked about he Is. While he is
theoretically living as the government's
guest at a hotel, he' is practically living
at the American Legation, so tnat he
may be kept away from the pressure of
the crowds. Dr. Cook thinks that he will
be able to get back to New York and
revise hts scientific records before he
gives them to the world.
Turns Questioner Himself.
At lunch at the American Embassy to
day the explorer escaped for a few min
utes from the absorbing topic of the
Arctic and asked questions that to the
listeners appeared amusing. What was
xms reumi ivuuic vaj , ,
Widow," of which he had heard from the
Danes In Greenland? What was the Taft
majority?
After loss by shipwreck of part of his
papers. Dr. Cook shipped sections of them
from Greenland by different vessels. Dr.
Cook disclaimed any title to unusual
bravery. He says that the success of his
expedition, was due to the fact that he
had strong men and dogs for the final
dash, on which several others had started
with weakened parties, and hat he did
not follow the "starvation route."
When given some details of Lieuten
ant Shackelton's expedition to the
South Pole, Dr. Cook displayed en
thusiasm over the English explorer's
achievements.
" Willing to Discuss Details.
In the matter pf the authenticity
which seems to have raised questions
in America, there is this to be said:
In Denmark the men of his own pro
fession exploration surrounded him
and support him without question. In
stead of avoiding them. ha spends
every possible moment with them, dis
cussing eagerly observations, ice floes
and drifts, dogs and supplies, and they
believe in him. Whatever the rest of
the world may think, Denmark, which
prides itself on Arctic explorations, has ,
nut the seal of its belief and indorse-
ment on Dr. Cook as strongly as It Is
possible to do.
The King, acting on carefully consid
ered advices from experts, gives him
such honors as never before have been
given to a private person. All the
Danish papers accept him wholly.
There was strong doubt of his claims
before he arrived, but one of the
strongest factors now. Is Dr. Cook's
personality and the absolute freedom
and candor with which he answers all
questions.
RASMCSSEN PRAISES; ENVIES
j Writes That Cook Succeeded Because
I He Lived Like Eskimos.
j PARIS, Sept. 5. A dispatch to the
Matin from Copenhagen says that Mrs.
' Rasmussen. wife of Knude Rasmussen,
who was associated with Dr. Cook in
Oreenland. has received a letter from
! her husband by the steamer Hans ,
Egde. The explorer writes:
"I never was so much moved in my
life as by the success' of Cook, for I
had hoped to carry off this triumph
myself."
Mrs. Rasmussen said that her hus
band always had believed thatvEskimos
alone could reach the Pole, and that
he believed Dr. Cook had succeeded be
cause he managed to live like the Eski
mos. "My husband," said Mrs. Rasmus
sen. "was the first to congratulate Dr.
Cook, and hft listened to the story of
the Eskimos, which' Is by no means
negligible. They do not understand
the use of instruments, but they know
now to make observations of solar
light. My husband does not doubt In
any way Dr. Cook's veracity. He con
gratulates the great explorer."
Speaking of Cook's achievement. Ex
plorer Sverdrup said:
"I believe Cook arrived at the Pole,
because he did not cling to the old
route, usually followed that which
Peary is now following. The rapid cur
rents of this route make It Impossible
to reach the Pole. Dr. Cook had the
good sense to follow his own idea In
the matter of route. He took the only
good one on account of slow displace
ment of glaciers north of Nansen Sound,
and he had the delicacy to say that I
revealed the route to him. That Is
true. I am the first to publish a sur
vey. He had with him Eskimos care
fully "cTiosen. Rasmussen, the explorer
In Greenland, knows better than any
one else the country and inhabitants,
and Rasmussen has absolute faith in
Dr. Cook. Finally, none but a mad
man would think that Cook has not a
convincing series of correct observa
tions. When he makes these public all
doubts will fall to the ground."
"But," remarked the correspondent.
"it has been quesuonen mat uo tuum
make the speed claimed.
"That objection is without founda
tion," replied the explorer.
CLAIMS ARE EASILY PROVED
Brussels Scientist Further Defends
American Explorer.
BRUSSELS. Sept. 5. Professor Le
Cointe, director of the Brussels Observ
atory, continuing his defense of Dr. Cook
tonight, insisted that the explorer can
easily prove his claim to the satisfac
tion of scientists. t
"There has been some astonishment,
he said today, "that Dr. Cook found him
self on April 21, 1908. in latitude 89:59:46.
Now the figures 46 constitute an approxi
mation which an astronomer would mske
without difficulty. Therefore, on April
21. when he had practically arrived at
the pole, he mad a complementary march
of 14 geographical seconds, merely, I sup
pose, to reply to a possible malevolent
critic who might try to say that Dr. Cook
had not reached the Pole if he did not go
bayond 89:59:46. We might say mat ur.
Cook had gone entirely around the Pole."
