DR. COOK HONORED. Degree of Doctor of Philosophy is Conferred on Him in Presence of Crown Prince of Denmark. Nzw York World. Copenhagen. Sept. 9.-The degree doctor honoris eausa was confer red upon Dr. Frederick A. Cook by the University of Copenhagen this af ternoon in the presence of the Crown Prince of Denmark and a distinguish .e gathering. Prof. Torp. re-tor of the university, 11 presenting the diploma to Dr. Cook s-L,ke of the admiration his achieve n-ent had aroused in the university. a_-d declared that the news that an other famous explorer had solved t'he same problem could in no way detract fr)m the honor due Dr. Cook. Promises Complete Records. In expressing his thanks Dr. Cook said he accepted the honor as testi mony of the genuineness of his jour ney. He promised to send the univer sity his complete records, and he re peated that it was his intention to dis patch a ship to Greenland at his own expense to bring down the two Esqui maux who accompanied him on his expedition. In conclusion the doctor said: "I can say no more, I can do no more. I show yon my hands.' The ceremony occurred in the great hall of the university in the presenee of a company numbering 1,200 per sons. including a number of scientists. When Prof. Tonp handed the parch ment to Dr. Co6k the explorer arose to reply. but he was unable to speak for five minutes on account of the e(,atinued applause. Dr. Cook's words in referring to the records he said he would send the un aversity were: "I can. produce all de siro,ble evidence that I reacbed the North Pole. He added that his Esquimaux com -panions would be taken to New York, where they could be examined by im partial men of science. Ceremony Was Impressive. The function of conferring this de gree was most impressive. In the honor of Dr. Cook the entire body of professors and students entered the hall in procession. They were ac c-impaxnied by the Danish Ministers of Educa:ion and Commerce and Maurice Ean, the American minister to Den mark. An orchestra rendered one of B3athoven 's symphonies. Prof. Torp said that the honor coni ferred upon D)r .Cook was the highest in the g'ift of the university. ard he complimented the explorer on the courage and self-sacifice which en ahled hin1 to go where no humnan being had ever set foot beforg.' He declared thLat Denma.rk and the Nilted States wo)uld now be .-neighbors in the Far N\orth1. The-n, warming up to his sub ject. Prof. Torp said with enthusiasm that the Danish people not only ad wired Dr. Cook for his deeds. but also because he was an American. Crowd Cheers Explorer. A cr)wd of more than one thous and persons that had congregated out side .the~ hail cheered Dr. Cook as he left and followed 'his motor car.: Dr. Cook aid Mr. Egan are going tonight to the country residence of Premier Count Holstein, where they ill remaain until tomorrow evening. Will Reach New York Septj 20. Dr. F:ederick A. Cook will sail fromn Christiansand Saturday morning *on board the Scandinavian-American Liner Oscar II. for New York, where she is due about Sept. 20 or 21. Pro,b ably Capt. Roald Amundsen will ac coLmpany him. Dr. Cook will leave here tomorrow night for Christianstand. He *has abiandoned his proposed visit to Brus sels on the advise of friends. Dr. Cook today asked the officials 'of the Greenshand Administration to -arrange for tihe dispatch of one of their boats to Greenland at his ex pense to get the two Esqui.maux who accompanied him to the Pole. The odicials stated that it is now too late in the season for such an attempt, and advised hin that he must wait for siring, which he will do. i sked Gould Brokaw to Go. He proposed to Gold Brokaw, who is here with his yacht Fedorfa, that they make a start for Greenland im mediately, but Brokaw would not .azree to t'his. Almost all the Copenhagen papers support Dr. Cook's side of the con troversy, but throw ho new light on :the subjeet. Capt. Amundsen is one *of the strongest supporters of the ex piorer, who is now backed up by Dr. Edvard Bay, the zoologist of the ex pedition usder Capt. Sverdrup in t'he fram, in 1898-1902. On that expedi tion Capt. Sverdrup made highly im portant scientific investigations, and it was over the route mapped by Sver drup that Cook made his journey northward. Dr. Bay todey had a long interview with Dr. Cook. at the coneclusion of which he said that while at first he had doubted C'ook's story, he was now certain of its truth, so far as the route claimed to be taken was concerned. !r. ook. he said, gav him accurate descripiuons of places and things whiel no other white man except Bay had ever seen. Dr. Bay asserted that the Danes in Greenland were unfriendly to Com mander Peary because they believed he treated the Esquimaux badly and forced them to work for him. RIVALS COMING. Peary and Cook Soon to Return. Fight Meanwhile Remains in Abeyance. The State, 10th. The two explorers upon whom the world's eves has been fixed during the past few days spent the day busily preparing for their return to the United States. Cook. in Copenhagen, announced that he had definitely ar ranged to sail next Saturday for New York. Peary, according to reports, was still delayed in Battle Harbor, Labrador-probably either awaiting the completing of repairs to the Roosevelt or the arrival of coal. Dr. Cook, appeared to-day at a high offieial function. The University of Copenhagen conferred upon .him the degree of Sc. D. (doctor of science), there,by recognizing, it was pointed out by his friends, in an important official manner his claim to the dis covery of the pole. Dr. Cook has can celled his engagement to lecture be fore the Geographical society of Brus sels and will reach New York about September 20 to 21, Capt. Ronald Amundsen will probably accompany him. Dr. Cook's plan to send a ship from Copenhagen to Greenland to bring back to civilization his two Eskimo companions on his exploration trip will not be carried out until next year, as Danish officials have informed him that it is now too late in -the season for a trip to Etah. The expedition, it is stated, will be started early next spring. In scientific circles, both in America and abroad, the prevailing inclination seems to be L.o await direct word from both explorers before arriving at a conclusion as to their respective achievements and although a belliger ent attitude was still preserved in .the two camps, open h4ostilities were large ly suspended. Herbert T. Bridgmtan, Peary 's chief backer, reached Sydney; C. B., to-day, and Mrs. Peary, who will also meet the explorer at Sydney, left Portland on her way northeast early in the day. Both expect to greet Commander Peary on Saturday, although the long and thus far unexplained delay a: Battle Haibor may make a necessary change in their plans. Thinks Peary's Story Tends to Help Cook. New York. Sept. 9.-Seientists in this city to-day. comparing Com mander Peary 's achievement with the reports which Dr. Cook has sent out, were very generally agreed that Peary 's findings seem to con.firm Dr. Cook's story iin several significant particulars and thus far raise- n$ ponts of disagreement. The scien tists were more positive than ever that the contro,versy can be settled beyond reasonable doubt by an in guiry before a recognized scientific body. Their almost undivided opin ion was that Dr. Cook should not be ondemned until his story has been proved false by unmistakable evi dence. "Peary's rapid traveling,'' said Anthony Fiala, the Brooklyn ex plorer, "is the most important evi ence thus far presented in substanti tion of Dr. Cook 's claims." William L. Cook of Brooklyn, broth er of the explorer, was urged to make pablic the text of three affidavits in the keeping of the Arctic club, in which charges are made against Comn It Still Cc Our great sale of the < Dry Goode :end N->tior We ar-e disposing at Slaughter Houw Come to see us Our clerks are~ acc Our goods are of Our prices are cut One Contin Opposite ihe ! fSQQOflf CUiU 1211 MAL? mander l'eary. lie (leeflne<4 to (lo so. iwever. ihe alidavits are said !o have beeni made by Franeke. )r.

"Frageke came here and told me what he had seen,' said Cook's brother, "and I had him re duce his statements to writing. They cannot be made public, however, un til Dr. Cook reaches America. Mr.' Cook received .a cablegram from his brother today announcing that the latter had booked passage on the Oscar H and would arrive in New York September 21. John A. Rogers, chairman of the Brooklyn committee of 100 organized to tender an official reception to Dr. Cook on his arrival here, commenting on the aspersions cast upon Dr. Cook by Commander Peary, said today. "Dr. Cook can recover a heavy damages. His honor is at stake in this controversy and I will advise him to sue Peary to vindicate it." Electric Bitters Succeed when everything else fails.
