A DANE CREDITED BY BRAVE YANKEE FOR HIS SUCCESS
Discoverer Cook Says Captain Sverdrup's Charts Aided Him in Finding Route to the North Pole. CONFIDENCE SHOWN IN COOK'S REPORT Explorer, Transformed Again Into American Citizen, Continued Again Today to Receive Tributes. (American News Service) Copenhagen, Sept. 6. "I owe my ability to reach the North Pole to Captain Sverdrup, whose routes and charts guided him in his Arctic explorations," declared Dr. Frederick A. Cook today. Explorer Sverdrup and Dr. Cook held an interview after which the Danish explorer expressed his fullest confidence in the statements of the American. "We did not show me his observa tions nor d'd he make public any data which he gathered on his trip and only once did he point to a map, for a newspaper map, to show me his route," said Sverdrup. 'I have no reason to doubt his story. He says he found the pole and I have no reason to doubt him. I have nothing but his simple statement. He Receives Homage. Dr. Cookk transformed into a typical American from the dilapidated Polar hero who received the King's welcome for his Arctic exploit, continued today to receive the homage of scientists all over the world talked with the newspaper correspondents, received a body of Danish students who cross-examined him, read several scores of congratulatory cablegrams and invitations, dodged the enthusiastic crowds of Danes, Americans and foreigners who good naturedly tried to mob him, wrote several chapters into his history of his dash and otherwise consummated the numerous and varied duties which tte discovery of the North Pole imposed upon him. The explorer is painstakingly compiling his report which will be presented to the international bureau of Polar exploration in Brussels, hoping by this to silence all the harsh criticism which has been visited upon him since his announcement , of success. Part of tn Data. Part of the data by which Dr. Cook says be will prove his assertions is in the possession of Harris Whitney at Etah, Greenland, and will be taken to the United States next month. The information in Whitney's hands is astronomical data. The fact that Dr. Cook parted with some of his records of. travel, always the most prized possession of an explorer, caused much comment. King Frederick was so taken with the modest bearing of the hero and so convinced that Dr. Cook really discovered the coveted pole that he is reported to have overridden the American's - objections to decorations and secured his assent to the conferring of the Royal Danish Order of Merit, with me crown attached, an honor never even conferred upon a Dane. The order will be conferred tomorrow night when the King and the royal family will attend Dr. Cook's lecture. Cook is answering his critics one by one through the press. He admits his reticence is somewhat due to the fact that he wants to reserve the bulk of his information for his book, 10O,lX words of which were written during the long winter night while he and his two Esquimaux lived in an underground ice hut at Jones Sound. Tomorrow afternoon there will be a reception at the American legation. Pour Into Copenhagen. Tourists, scientists and geographers are still pouring into Copenhagen to see and quiz the discoverer. Captain Sverdrup declared that he is confident there is only one practical route by which the North Pole can be reached and that is the route laid down by Dr. Cook. Sverdrup is of the opinion that the present arctic trips which are under way by other routes will result iu failure and perhaps disaster. Dr. Cook today took occasion to answer the criticism that he could not have traveled over ,,0CO square miles of territory. "In traveling more than .r00 miles to the pole," said Cook, "we had a view on each side of 15 miles, which by figuring, you will see means that we cut out a gap of 90,000 miles of unknown land. 1 Dr. Cook says that it la not true that the return journey was made over the same route taken In going. His party "drifted back ami this accounted for the delay, he says. Stamped as Genuine. The Danish scientists have already stamped Dr. Cook's claims cs genuine and the rest of the world is gradually swinging Into the same sentiment The explorer declares that some of the interviews with him were distorted and silly assertions were put into his month. Aside from the absurd declarations that he shaved daily" at the North Polo and that he could not speak the Esquimaux language. In which, geographers and scientists are not interested, . he expounds i his polar, knowledge upon technical and scientific lines which are being accepted more ami more. Possibly never has a scientist faced the volley of questions which , have poured upon the explorer since he Untied from the Hans Edge on Satur-

"If I don't find the Pole this time I will never try again," was his parting message. Roosevelt told Peary that an American must be the first to reach the Pole and Peary replied, "Mr. President, its North Pole or bust for us." ARE NOT SURPRISED. Washington, Sept. 6. Friends of Peary here were not surprised when they heard today that Peary had reached the Pole.
