MARY IS RETURNING WITH POLAR HONORS PRACTICALLY LOST TO WORL TILL HE REACHES LAND. Explor.-r Must Come Hundreds of Miles Further South Before He Gets in Position to Flash De tails of Trip. Robert E. Peary. having "nailed (1he Stars and Stripes to the pole' on April 6. 1909. as told in his series of messages flashed by wireless Tues day from t,he coast of Labrador, is figuratively lost to the world, home ward bound on his ship. the Roose velt. At Copenhagen, Denmark, royalty continues to pay homage to Dr. Fred erick A. Cook, the Brooklyn explor er, who announced six days ago in a message not unsimilar to Comman der Peary's that he had placed the flag of this coAntry at the pole on April 21. 1908. Neither saw indications of t<he oth er's achievement, both will be in the United States before the close of the present month. Commander Peary, on the Roosevelt. was in the Strait of. Belle Isle. between Newfoundland and the Province of Quebec, Wed neSday night. But it is uncertain at what point he will toueh first to am plify the meagre news of Tuesday. In adequate telegraphic facilities on the .Izbrador coast and the noirthwest coast of Newfoundland may move him to decide to proceed on south ward to North Sydney. Nova. Scotia, before he gives to the world- details of1 'his triumphs in the North. No Telegraph at Chateau Bay. The commander -had intended stop ping at Chateau bay. Labrador, but the telegraph station there was abandoned some time ago and the Roosevelt mus.: push her nose further soath before the world obtains the news. As she comes down the New foundland coast. Red bay and further south St. George bay are at .hand, but whether Pearv will avail himself of these, points or conitinue , to North Sydney. Cape Breton, where he will 1have every facility at hand. is a mat ter of conjecture. It i. 450 miles from Chateau bay to North Sydney, and the time of his arrival can only be guessed. Buit the Roosevelt may reach there late Thursday. With her husband 's plans uncer tain and with no specific message to meet him. Mrs. Peary is waitng at her -home at Eagle Island, Me.. in readiness to depart for Nonth Syd ney. Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Artic club, left New York for North Sydney tonigh.t. In addi tion to greetings from the Peary Arc 'tie club. Mr. Bridgman carried dhese nessages from the Explorer' s elub. of whien~ Commander Peary and Dr. Cook .are both members: Explorer's Club Greetings. -The Explorers' club sends you heartiest congratulations upon your triumphant attainmnent of the long sought goal--the North Pole." Ant.honv Fiala. who commanded one of' the Zeigler expeditions to the pole, is a memb)er of the board of di-rectors sending the message. Several additional messaes, filIed Tuesday at Indian Harbor, were re elved by associates of Commander Peary. 'but none of them gave any furtiher details of his conquest. Through Mr. Bridgman he notified all g.eograpyhical societies of the wonld of his discovery and in addition sent a personal dispatch to the National Geozraphical societ.v at Washington saving: "Have won at last. The nole is ours." In a message to Director Bumpus of t.he American Museum of Natural History in New York, he announced that he is bringing home a valuable collection for t.he institution. Thousands of Congratulatory Mes sages. Thousands of congratulatory mes sages have ,been sent in return to the explorer, two of the most notable of which are from Lieut. Shackleton, the English Aitaretic explorer, and Maj. Leonard 'Darwin, president of the Royal Geograph.iual society. The Na tional Geographical socie'y called a meeting directly after receiving Peary 's message and quickly tele .graphed a reply of 'hearty praise. The N\ew York Zoological society sent its -eh of the world-wide praise through ~ts president in this city, while hun irneds of less important messages went northward to meet the returning tray-. eler. In Copenhagen Dr. Cook was shown a statement credited to Peary that he (Peary) was the first discoverer of the pole. Declining to enter into a controversy t'he Brooklyn physician briefly dismissed the subject. The tooting of whistles of passing traft paid tribute to the explorer's ~wife on her island home today while his "snow baby"' daughter acknow ifedged them by dipping an American, ilag. RIVALRIY TO FILL COOK'S POCKETS PEARY'S SUCCESS WILL SWELL DOCTOR'S PROFITS. American Makes High Bid for Re ' turned Explorer's Works on His Polar Dash. Copenhagen. Sept. 7.-One of the most remarkable results of Comman der Peary's rivalry with Dr. Cook for the discovery of the pole is that Dr. Cook 's profits from the enterprise are likely to be largely increased. He received today offers for his books and lectures a.t twice the figures pre viously tendered. One American of the highest standing cabled terms al most startling.and far beyond any sum thitiherto paid for such works. Dr. Cook is likely <to accept this offer. The controversy is beginning to grow warmer here. Commander Peary'-s statement is accepted as true, but there is a following very faithful to Dr. Cook. He lectured before the Geographical society tonight. added little to the information he had al ready given out 'with reference to his expedition and repeated the declara tion of <bis inten,tion to withhold de tails unti-l the publication of his book. Has Distinguished Audiences. The king and queen. Prince George of Greece and his consort and many of the members of the royal family, together with a large gathering of the most prominent people in Copenhagen, this afternoon witnessed the presen tation to Dr. Cook of a gold medal by the crown prince. and listened to the explorer's lecture afterwards. Standing in front of an immense map of the Arctic region. which was surmounted by the Stars and Stripes Dr. Cook outlined his progress to the North Pole. Introducing the explorer, the crown prince said that his recep tion in Greenland and at Copenhagen showed the way the Danes appreciat ed ihis wonderful exploit. The prince :hen begged ti.e honor of presenting to him the medal of the Geographical society. Too Early to Talk. "It is too early." said the explor er. "to give the genera1 results of the expedition. Time is required to di gest t-he work of polar effort. You have not allowed time in Copenhagen. This northward dash has occurred .ato the minds of men for more thani 300 years. Slowly and surely the ladder of ladders has been elim-bed with var ios degrees of success. Exp~erienee was gained and each expedition pro ifited by the misfortunes of its pred ecessors. The failure of one expedi tion led to the success of su.bsequent efforts.' s The explorer cleared up the doubt about the lowest temperature record ed which he reiterated 'Was 83 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. He said he had no doubt that the'observa:tions made would prove that he had been on and iround the 90th degree. Within a Kilometre of Pole. "'I have been within a circle, a kil imetre in diameter. of where the pole s situated." exelaimed .the explorer. I am satisfied that that is quite ufient for practical purposes. I will say no more until my book is pub ished." When shown the dispatch which sai, tha,t Commander Peary claimed o be the first to reach the North Pole, Dr. Cook said: "Commander Pea ry, of course, can ay whatever he wishes. I am not ac customed to indulge in controversies. All I have to say about Com.mander Pearv is ithat if he says he rea ched4the Nor th Pole I believe he reachd 'the North Pole.'' THINKS BOTH ARE SUCCESSPUL Prof. Rea of Charleston College Says Double Discovery of Pole is En tirely Probable. c:n leston, S. C.. Sept. 7.-''"I rhink it entirely probable that both Cook and Peary have rea.ohed t.he po,' said Prof. Paul M. Rea of the Colleg-e of Charleston today. "Cer tainlv the attitude of those who would repudiate Cook without giving him a hearing is entirely unreasona ble. Some .things in his story. es pecialy as regards temperatures. seem unreasonable, but I have no doubt that he will ,be able to explain all these matters satisfactorily.'' TELEPHONE GIRLS MUST SAY "NUMBER, PLEASE." Did you use the telephione to-day? Then you noticed a difference in the way the telephone girls answered your call, didn't you?~ What! Of course you noticed that little 'please' that was tacked on after the call num Just think a momient arnd you'll re Imember. Here's the way it was. In e:ed of having the telephone girl answer 'Number?'' when you call ed sh mdrlsrd "Naumber, please." That exa.ctlIY what it WaI_. :III there's a reason for it. It may seem a small thing for the telephone girl to tack on that little "please'" at .the end of tihe answer to calls. but the Southern Bell Tele phone and Telegraph management doesn't think so. The company thinks it's ample wonth while, consequently an order has been issued to every telephone exchange in the Southern Bell company's territory, wthich ex tends over seven States. that every operator answers all calls in the fu ture by "Number, please ?'instead of simply inquiring ''Number?' The order is effective at" all ex ehanges of the company. It is believed by the telephone management that the change in .the answer made by the telephone girl to the .calls that are re ceived will improve the service and be thoroughly appreciated by the pul) ic. Now, don't think because you fail to get the new answer that the tele phone girls are not on the job as the :rder calls for. It's just a case of hav ing gotten the habit-see? Give them . little t'ime to tack on the "please" nd see if you don't feel better with he new order of things. You'll be de dihted with that sweet little 'please" ,before you know i,t.-Col imbia Recard. .E lectric Bitters Succeed when everything else fails.
