able aptitude for the buslnes. He has

HE ATTACKS PEART
Explorer Asserts Again That
He Found North Pole and
Other Didn't.
(United Pi-era Leased Wire.)
New York, Sept. 2. Reiterating his
claims to the discovery of the North
Pole and declaring he Is now in posi
tion to prove his case beyond shadow
of doubt. Dr. Frederick A. Cook today
filed sensational jharges against Rob
ert E. Peary, the accredited discoverer
of the pole, with the International
Congress of Geographic societies.
When the congress meets in Rome
next month it will be asked to name a
committee to Investigate the claims of
the rival explorers and probe the
charges made against Peary. Cook de
clares that h can"' prove "his claims
now without all of his missing data.
He stated that he had not sent all of
his material to Copenhagen as it has
not been scientifically compiled, but
that he was now sending proofs rectify
ing previous errors to President William
Smith of the Scottish Geographic so
ciety. These proofs. Cook asserts, show
his speed record day by day. He
charges that Peary's record borders on
the impossible.
In his demand for an Inquiry, Cook
says: .
"I have purposely waited so that I
could marshal my material in Its proper
order. Now I have all my proofs, as
well as evidence of fraud and bribery
used In a conspiracy to discredit my
claims. The proofs of my attainment
rest on the continuity of my account
of the quest. That I stood on the very
pivotal pinpoint of the earth I do not
nor ever did claim. But that I reached
the North Pole approximately and as
certained its location accurately as re
gards its terrestrial and celestial con.
ditions, as well as my Instruments would
allow, I assert most emphatically.
