Each Prepares to Give Reception to
Explorer It Champions on Ar
rival Home Cook ites Are
Angry at "Gold Brick."
NEW YORK. . Sept. 11. Commander
Robert E. Peary has sent no .word to
members of the Peary Arctic Club in
amplification of hiu dispatch branding Dr.
Cook's claim of having first discovered
the North Pole as an attempt to foist a
"gold brick" on the public. General
Thomas Hubbard, president of the club,
while firmly convinced of the good faith
of Peary, is not inclined to take the
naval officer's challenge of Dr. Cook's
claim as a categorical declaration based
upon indisputable proof that Dr. Cook
did not reach the Pole. He said:
Leaves Peary Way Out.
"I am not prepared to say that Dr.
Cook did not reach the Pole. I do not
know whether he did or did not. But
I understand Commander Peary's attitude
respecting hia .rival's claims. Fearful,
no doubt, lest inetitutions like the
Copenhagen University and the French
Geographical Society should take Dr.
Cook's statements for granted and ac
cord iiim formal recognition, which later
they could not very well withdraw, he
took upon himself to sound a warning. I
do not take, it that Commander Peary
positively knows that Cook did not reach
the Pole, but he has heard that he did
not. and for this reaxon urges the public
not to take the Cook story too seriously."
Peary's Words Fan Flames.
Peary's latest dispatch challenging
Cook's claim and characterizing it as "a
gold brick" has added fuel to the already
licrce fire. Each explorer has his camp
of local champions centering in the
various polar organizations with which
they have been identilied. but ramifying
throughout eciontilic and public circles
mainly. In these divided camps plans
are being hastily formed on a prodigious
scale for the welcome to be accorded to
tha two claimants for polar honors.
The use. of the contemptuous phrase "a
gold brick" in reference to Cook's claim
is -looked upon, by the champions of Dr.
Cook as particularly offensive. They re
gard 1'. as not only a challenge of his
veracity, but as one of soch Eertous im
port in reflecting upon Cook methods
that it calls for immediate substantia
tion from Peary. Whether he will give
this substantiation at onoe Is open to
doubt in view of his statement that proof
would be presented when Cook made a
full statement.
Adherents Prepare Receptions.
The Arctic Club of America further per
fected its plans today for meeting Cook
on his arrival. A steamer to carry 2000
people has been chartered to go down
th bay to meet the explorer on his ar
rival on the Oscar IL. Many distinguished
persons, including the chief officials of
Brooklyn and representatives of scientific
and geographical bodies will be Invited.
Mrs-. Cook also will be a guest. A flotilla
of steam craft, yachts, tugs, etc., is also
preparing to move seaward and greet the
Oscar II.
The plan for Peary's reception when he
arrives is also being elaborated by his
adnerents, but the details are in abey
ance owing to the uncertainty of the time
at which he will leach Ne Tork.
At Sydney a great reception Is awaiting
him by the people of Nova Scotia and
there also Mrs. Peary and Mr. Brldg
man with scores of newspaper corres
pondents are anxiously awaiting htm.
PEARY AND COOK IN SA3LK COAT
Germans Say Neither Had White
Companion at Pole.
BERLIN. Sept. 11. News that Com
mander Peary also was unaccompanied
by white observers when no readied
the geographical point which he took
to be the Pole, has started discussion
afresh regarding the claims of Peary
and Dr. Cook. German geographers.
Such as Gravelius. Sellmann. bieglin.
Swerin and Friederlchsen, have been
disposed throughout to believe the
word of Dr. Cook ana commanuer
Peary, as they had no reason to doubt
the scientific competency or sincerity
of either eotplorer.
Newspapers which are commenting
freely on the subject, consider that
Commander Peary's friends may have
shown too bitter a feeling towards Dr.
Cook, a feeling which they say is neith
er sportsmanlike, sctentitlo nor ethical.
Professor Sleglln. writing in the Nord
Deutsche Allgcmeln Zeitung, says that
scientific circles need not be deeply con
cerned whether the one . or the other
explorer took observations amid the
field of Ice which showed the instru
ments to be located at the Pole, or
which .reached there first. Scientists
may consider it settled that both men
with unwearied seal have attained their
aim.
"A more Interesting subject," he adds,
is that wide fields yet exist in which
polar explorers may work. The Amer
icans have found the Pole and planted
their flag. Now, as before, the most
Is still to be done."

t
Washington , Official Condemns Ac
tion as Unsportsmanlike.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. (Special.)
"Pole-hunting is a sportsman's job;
the scientific value of the discovery is
very slight," said Henry W. Pe'kins,
acting superintendent of the Coast &
Geodetic Survey, today. All Washing
ton replies:
"If -that Is true, why. In heaven's
name, can't the question of the victory
be settled In a sportsmanlike manner?"
It Is not putting It too. strongly to
say that Washington, which was pro
disposed .to be friendly to Civil En
gineer Robert E. Peary, TTjS. X.. this
being his home, has become disjrtisted
with his savage attacks on Dr. Cook's
claim to the discovery of the great
prize of exploration. The flool of tele
grams from the north Is deemed un
dignified for an explorer of Peary's
record and abilities.

OPIUM SMOKER FINED
GIRLS SEEN TO ENTER DEN CAN
NOT BE FOUND.
Vancouver Police Raid Chinese
Quarters and Prisoner Gets
No Mercy In Court,
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Sept. 11. (Spe
lal.) When asked to explain -the presence
of a "hop" smoking Eet, including the
lamp in which to roast the ball, two silver-mounted
pipes, two horn boxes made
to contain opium, and holding a small
quantity, Lee Fook, a Celestial arrested
this morning at 12:80 o'clock at Second
and Wain streets, answered that the lamp
was used to furnish light with which to
read a Chinese newspaper.
The Judge, A. J. Bigham, stated that he
was not convinced, and fined him $25
and costs.
The opium den was surrounded last
evening by five of the city police force,
and though the Chief of Police had seen
two white women enter the place only a
few moments before, they were not to
be found when the place was raided. The
place is frequented by a number of
Chinese from different parts of the city
and Vancouver Barracks. Lee Fook
stated to the judge this morning that it
was a Chinese club, and that the mem
bers paid from $1.50 to $2 a month for
the privileges, though this did not in
clude the smoking of opium, so he
claimed.
When told that the two white women
had been seen to enter there, and Fook
was accused of hiding them away, he
looked at the police judue with a sickly
grin and simply said, "Where?"
