AMUNDSEN SAYS
HONOR COOK FOR
EXPLORATIONS
SAYS JUST AS EASY TO BELIEVE
COOK FOUND POLE AS TO BE
LIEVE SAME OF PEARY
FORT WORTH, Jan. 25. (^—Doc
tor Frederick Cook is a “genius” and
no matter what he has done in busi
ness, he deserves the respect of every
American for his intrepid explorations
in the North, Roald Amundsen said
this morning. “It is just as easy to
believe Cook found the North Pole as
to believe Peary found it.” Amund
sen characterized the evidence gather
ed by MacMillan to discredit Cook of
“no importance.” “The Eskimos
will give any kind of an answer you
want,” said Amundsen.
Amundsen’s Statement is Queer
DENVER, Jan. 25. (/P)~Stefanson
after reading Amundsen’s statement
in the news, said:
“Amundson’s statement is most ex
traordinary. Peary has a lifetime
i of integrity behind him while Cook’s
career has been one of consistent fak
ing every since his faked ascent of
Mt. McKinley. His career of faking
continued until it landed him in a fed
eral prison.”
Stefanson said Amundson wouldn’t
have said what he did if he had ex
perienced moving ice.

ROCKFORD, Jan. 25. (^—McMil
lan said he stood on the spot where
Cook raised the flag calling it the

undsen’s claim of reaching the South
Pole,” said McMillan.

is willing to rest his claim of the dis
covery of the North Pole with future
generations, and his published records,

claims and disprove many of Peary’s.
Amundsen Denies Statement
HOUSTON, Tex., Jan. 25. (^—Am
undsen denied his Fort Worth state
ment that “Cook’s claim to have dis
covered the North Pole was as sound
as Peary’s.”
“Speaking as an explorer, what I
said was I could not form an opinion
without having the opinions of Cook
and Peary before me. I was misquot
ed,” said Amundsen.
Peary at Pole Says MacMillan
CHICAGO, Jan. 25. (£>)—MacMillan’s
statement released through the Asso
ciated Press by Commander McDon
ald of the United States navy, who
accompanied Macmillan to the Arc
tic last summer, said:
“Peary remained at the North Pole
fifty hours and was within five miles
of his objective and within one and
one-quarter miles of the pole. No hu
man instrument devised can accurate
ly determine the exact spot of the
North and South poles, but their ap
proximate position is sufficient.”
