I Pint-hot- , Dr. Cook Entertained ROBERT E, PEARY, Famous Arctic Explorer. through Captain Robert Baitlett, of the Roosevelt, Peary's ship. Dr. Frederick A. Cook was at dinner, surrounded by a unmant company, when the news of Pearys discovery was received in Copenhagen. Dr. Cook was immensely interested, and said: That is good m ws. I hope Peary did get to the, pole. His observations and report on that region will confirm mine. And thus it seems that the North Pole has been doubly discovered. Two Americans have planted the flag of their country in the land of ice, which man has sought to penetrate for four centuries; and each ignorant of the others conquest has sent within a period of five days a laconic message of success. On September 1, Dr. Cook sent out from the Shetland islands the first message of his success, a message which has aroused a strm of controversy around the world. And now Robert E. Peary, lost from view in the land of ice, and unheard from since August, 1908, has startle the world by a similar message sent In m Indian Harbor, Labrador. There was no qualification; it left no doubt. With but a word from Peary, the world waits for details, hut none will he available until he arrives at Chateau Bay, Labrador. It was comparatively a simple matter to ascertain that the April G referred to by Peary was April of this year, as his expedition dd not start from New York until July 7, 1908. From the time Peary his last letters home front his depot of at Etah in August. 1908. until he flashed the magic words from Indian Harbor, nothing was known of the fight ho had been making across the frozen crust of the north. 1 fiuo-plie- s by King Fred- erick at Summer Palace Near Copenhagen. Copenhagen. Dr. Frederick A. Cook Freddined Sunday night wiii erick, at the summer palace, a few mi!ec outside of Copenhagen. The king summoned Dr. Cook to an audience Saturday, as a formal courtesy. They had an hours talk, and while these royal audiences cannot, according to etiquette, be minutely described hy the members of the court, Dr. Cook made such an impression on tiie king that the latter immediately instructed the court chamberlrin to summon the explorer to dine with him Sunday night. The dinner was entirely the result of the king's personal opinion regarding the explorer, who had the seat on the king's right, an honor which Danes can not remember having been accorded another private person, and members of the royal family listened to his ev'wy word as he recounted the dangers and privations of his polar lourney. Receives Telegram from Taft. Dr. Cook was immensely pleased by a telegram from President Taft, in which the president extended his hearty congratulations. He had to undergo an ordeal on Sunday. being bombarded on every side with questions, intended to test the accuracy of his affirmations. Astronomers Are Convinced. Ore of the most exacting periods of '.he day was an interview with Professor Stromberg, leading Scandinavian astronomer, who says when he is per mitted to examine Dr. Cooks obser vations he can decide within a half day whether the explorer has been at the pole. Several other expert Arctic explorers were closeted in conversation with Dr. Cook. When they cams out, they appeared thoroughly convinced of his absolute good faith. Headless Body Found. Detroit.
