The re -amiai'^om m lttOO of sci \ -1 University of Copon 'ted to scrutinize Dr. Cook's claims that he JT discovered tho Nortli Polo was submitted to tho Consistory of tho university, indorsed by that body and given to tho public. The report shatters completely, al ' most contemptuously, tho American explorer's titlo to tho discovery, and 1111s the officials and people of Den mark with chagrin at tho ilgure Den mark is made to assume in the eyes of tho scientific world. Tho public was prepared for a verdict of "not proven," but did not expect its recent hero to be branded as an impostor. Many* still cling to tho belief that Cook acted in good faith, but har bored a delusion. Explorers and scientists almost unanimously have lost faith in Cook's honesty, while ono Of his warmest ^"supporters, Knud Rasmussen, helped to framo tho report. The papers at tack Cook and severely reproach him for hiding, which they regard as a sign of a guilty conscience. The rtjetor of the university, Dr. Salomonsen, when asked as to the possibility of the university canceling tho degrees which It conferred on Br. Cook, said that no decision had been reached, buW|j^^thought that the degroe could b^^HH^^m^jj^thc . same way as ti goi prlvo a person of an or? under fatso pretenses. Commodore Gustav Holm, tho Arc tic explorer and a member of tho committee, said: "Cook'g claim that he mado tho observation 89 degrees F)9 minutes 4 6 seconds near the Pole proved Immediately that he was a bad observer, but nothing indicated that; ho was a swindler, Now his papors convict him of being a swindler. We examined Cook's .observations first and agreed ? unanlmous^.j that they were worthless. It Leroot unlikely that Loose mado ^observations. Ho Is a clever ?&* / Just the sort that Cook couldTOp11 ' Professor Olufaufi, secretary of the Danish Geographical Society, said: "It Is Jhe saddest event in my life.; As an explorer there seems tc bo no doubt that Cook Is absolutely unre liable. " rue National Tidende, while de ploring that the university conferred the degree In a moment of enthusi asm, finds consolation In the fact that others liouortal Cook when ho re turned to civilization. "The President of his own country and its envoy in Copenhagen," says the paper, ."wore tho guarantors for Mm. Denmark did not blunder alone. Our country must now leave this sad affair to America and Cook." in an interview Knud Rasmussen sc.id: "The university would not call mo nt first, becauso I was one of Dr. Cook's strongest supporters. Later, however, I waa Invited to the inves tigation, and when I saw the observa tions I realized it was a scandal. "My confidence in Cook had been based on personal impressions, on re ports that I had received and also on tho testimony -of the Eskimos, when they all said that ho had xiade the trip from <^apo Sparbo to Etah, and such a trip during tho dark of winter would suffice to make a man famous. But tho papers which Cook sent to Copcnhageif-Wnlversity aro more Im pudent. No schoolboy could make j such calculations. It Is a most child ish attempt at cheating. Cook, has killed himself by his own foolish *ctr." Commodore Hovgaard, the explor er, said: "Although It has not been proved th&t Cook did not reach the, Pole, I can only regard Cook now as| an impostor." The public is unable to comprehend why Cook sent hl? worthl sss papers, when he admits In the letter present ed to Professor Torp by Lonsdale that "It seems unwise and Impdsslble to give final judgment because of the ab Soeiety Women Assist Strikers. ~ . Society women rode with striking I shirt waist gtrla In an JUlomoblio parade through Fifth a Venue. and the manufacturing districts of Net*. York sence of the Instruments and obser vations which 1 left at Etah," Tho member* of the Examining Committee are angry over the doc tor's behavior. Professor Stromgrtn, the president of tbo committee, is' fu rloua. and characterised Cook's treat ment of the university as "shame less," Inquiry as to whether the commit tee would undertake a further exam ination In the event of Cook sending for the Instruments and observations which tye alleged to bo at Etah de veloped that a majority of tho mem bers wero not disposed to waste any more time in the matter.
