COPENHAGEN, Denmark. Sept. 4
? Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the Ameri
can explorer who was the first to
reach the north pole, reached this cit
late yesterday afternoon In the gov
ernment steamer Haus Egede and waj
tendered a great public ovation.
V. S. Minister Egan and a number
o! Dunish officials put out to sea and
met the Hans Egede. Minister Egan
was the first man to wave a greeting
to his triumphant countryman.
As Cook landed on the wharf he
was met by a great throng of people,
who sent up cheer after cheer and
blocked progress while they pressed
In to catch a close glimpse of the
discoverer. It was finally necessary
for the police to clear a lane in the
crowd for Cook to pass through.
Tonight Dr. Cook will be presented
tr King Frederick at a banquet at
the royal palace and will be decorat
ed with a gold medal commemorating
his accomplishment.
COPENHAGEN. Denmark. Sept. 4
I -in an Interview this afternoon. Dr.
Cook claims that he has proofs to
I toi/show that he has found the north
' polo. He said that in his opinion the
greatest uchievment of ills expedition
was the discovery of an arctic conti-|
I I ont containing about bO.OOO square
miles of land which was not covered
by Ice. "This opens a new field for
polar discovery and research.
! Pressed for data, Dr. Cook refused
to give out any details. He said he
' bad contracts for the sale of his story
and therefore could say nothing more
He is being bitterly criticised In some
i quarters for this attitude, for placing
commercialism above science.
Cook is still the center of the pub
| lie eye and crowds block the streets
when ever he appears In the automo
bile, in which ho is being taken about
the city.

the millionaire who furnished the fi
nancial backing for the Cook expedi
tion. may send another exproring party
