PAGE THREE Cook Says He Isn't Liar and Attacks Peary (Continued from pane (me) dollar googrnphors In that soeloty, and tome of thorn )mvu gono In on tho ground floor without pnylng tho two, which oxplnlns tho color of tho geographic now. This society ap polntod a Jury, throo poraoual friend or Mr. reary, tiiroo or Ms own orn eUl associates. Chlof In that jury was Hour Admiral Chester, No,w, Chester la n good follow, but ho hap pens to ho rotated by marriages to tho fur trader wlioro that million uol lara of tho llloRltlmnto fur trado had Icon divided. Ho waa tho right kind of an honest, disinterested Juror. Tho othora woro of tho lamo typo. Thcio mon promptly bnrterod their aoula to Mr, l'onry'i Interest and at onco tald that It waa niro that Mr. I'oary had reached tho I'olo and that It waa equally auro that I had not. A year later In congress, when compelled to bit lionott, this same Jury aumiueu that In tho Peary proofa thero waa no proof. "My material had been aent to tho University of Uopoubageu, Tho Danoa were not Interested In me, financially or otherwUe, I am not a (Dano, aa la gonorally supposed. I am an Am erlcnn born of (Jerman parentago In New York atate. They wonf over that material, aevorely, perhaps, but honestly, and they promptly eama to tho eoncluilou that on account of the long range of unavoidable! Inaccuracy In all such material and because there was but ono white man present, that there could bo no academic proof. This did not carry tho interpretation that tho I'olo had not bn reached, as tho prnss of this country printed. The Danes have never said that I did not reach tho l'oloj quite to the con trary, they showed their good faith by bestowing upon mo tho honor of l'h. J), and by giving a gold medal. Tho press has many times printed that theao and other honors have boon withdrawn, ono of tho many lies. No honors over extended to mo have been withdrawn, no door aver oeucd to mo has been cloned. "Tho controversy continued for over a year, during whleh tlmo all kinds of mean, undignified things wore said and printed about me. Faked, forged and perjured news Items were sent out over tho pros wires of this country from a paid press bureau, as nows. I brand thorn all lies, lies with the seeming In dorsement of tho government and the navy bohlnd them, I am going to provo that to you by tho analysis of Just one charge, the one which Is of most Interest to you, tho climb of Ml. M,cKlnley. Now, I want you to listen carefully In this, for If what I am about to say Is not true, then tho prison doors are open to me. Mr", l'eary charged that I had not climbed Mt. McKluloy, alining by this side Itsua to throw discredit upon my Polar claim. I had climbed Mt. Me Klnloy and cllmbod It honestly In ItiOO. In the last part of that climb 1 had with mo but ono man, Edward Harrlll, of, Darby, Montana. For throo years Uar'rlll had told everybody ho knew just how I had climbed ML McKlnloy and how he was with mc at the top. The l'eary interests crossed the. continent, came to Darby and thero offered Harrlll a bribe of a thousand dollars to say that Mt. Ma Klnley had not been climbed. Wo next find Harrlll In Hamilton, Mon tana, and there in tbo office of and In tho presence of a man by tho name of Ilrldgoford thero was another offer of another bribe of Ave thou sand dollars. Harrlll 'a reply to that waa that ho wanted that flvo thou sand, that ho noeded It, but to get it he would have to sell his own aoul. "Now watch and see how that soul was marketed. Voneit find Harrlll In Seattle, Washington, and there, in tho office of tho Uoattlo Times and In tho pressnee of Its editor, 4here was another offer to sell that soul as a newa Item for ten thousand dol law. Still tho deal la not closed. Then wo come over to Tacoma. V have In that community a weak-kneed back-handod lawyer by tho name of Aahton. Aahton sold publicly that he had boon eogagod to dig up tho Mc klnloy business, but ho did not know b) whom, whether by Cook or l'eary. Can you Imaglno a lawyer who doesn't know on which side his bread la but torodf Hut ho waa engaged. Ho ad mite that, and ho was engaged in a business so contemptible that he did not daro to toll the aourco of tho money, Wo And Harrlll there for two daya with him. Wo next find Bar rill In a bank In Tacoma and there In tho presonco of a man whom I am ready to produco that soul was marketed, in the prosenco of a man whom I am ready to bring forth. Hnrrlll was paid fifteen hundred dol lars in ono hundred dollar bills. Ho put thoso in his belt and spout two of thorn at Missoula, Montann, This was a part payment of a promised brlbo of twonty-five thousand dollars, In rospouso to that mouoy, Harrlll made an affidavit then and tboro do nylng tho climb of Mt, McKlnloy. Thnt affidavit was allppod by Aahton to tho Ponry press buroau. Hero is a clear trail of brlbory and conspiracy a blaok hand olTort of character as sassination right up to tho door of Admiral l'eary and Qonornl A slit on, If thoso aro not tho moanoat cowards in all history, lot thorn como forward and oxplaln that Mt. McKlnloy brib ery. Furthermore. Ashton know, posi tively know, that that affidavit was a Ho boforo Harrlll signed it. Thero is something for investigation by tho Btato Bar association, "Yoil will nay, perhaps, I nm so vero. 1 nm bound to bo sovorot I hnvo tried mild mnthods. I am now defending my honor nm! that of tny fnmlly, and I must show this In its trim light. I Insist thnt we have n nntlonal investigation of this con temptlblo Intrigue. I am roady to moot overy word that I have. said with lugnl documents, with my own money nnd with my flat If necessary. "How will the matter endf Truth will prevail, truth has provalled, for my narrative, which is now out in bcok form, haa been under tho micro acople uyo of all tho world for three years and not ono lino has been truth fully discredited. Thero Is the proof of history. On tho other hand, the data as preseuted In that narrative has been aent to the oxplorers of all the world. They nave had three years to examine and ro examine tho whole problem and thoy havo now como out In black andwhlto and havo endorsed my claim and among them aro such mon as C'nptaln ltoald Amundsen, who has reached tho South Foloj Captain Otto Hverdrup, who discovered the land over which our work was done; I'rofessnr Locolnte, secretary of tho International Hureaii of I'olar Re search) Captain Baldwin, the lato Hear Admiral Hehloy, These and thirty other Arctic explorer bellevo that I have reached the Pole. On tho other hand, thoso against me, and for Mr. Peary aro three long-fingered pol iticians, three monkey-wrenchea of that "flteam Holler," threo men who hno never seen a piece of Arctic lee. Now, seriously, these men do not know the difference between tht North Pole and a barber polo. "In tho oml, In the last analysis, you are bound to depend upon expert opinion, but you may choose your ex rts. Will you take the word of thirty explorers from all lands who havo no axes to grind, or will you tnko tho word of threo long fingered polltlelnus In Washington! I leave my ease with you. Think it over, and remember I wnnt no money, no pen sion, no government favor, no favor whatsoever, but, as a private cltlxen, I do want the credit, and tho honor of a work for whleh I havo spent my own money, and at whlsh I have risked my life during twenty years, and all that I need to get that' la plain American fair play. You, I am auro, will grant that. "PKKDKIIIOiC A. COOK."
