VI-CCFQI/D H.. KIMC3 or THE- BE-LGIAN-S
WOULD TEST PEARY DATA.
Rear Admiral Schley Publicly
Calls Upon Commander to Sub-
mit Polar Records to Univer-
sity of Copenhagen and Let
Them Be Judged as Was Cook s
WASHINGTON, D. I'.. Dec.'22.—Re-
affirming his complete confidence In
Dr. Cook. Rear Admiral W. P.
Hchley, retired, today called publicly
upon Commander Peary to subu<t his
proofs that he reached the north polo
to some scientific body other than tip-
National Geographic society. This,
the admiral declares, should be done
•it once in the interests of .iifstice
and to establish beyond question the
claims of Peary.
The admiral believes the same body
which threw out and repudiated Cook y
data should be permitted to pass upon
the data lubiqttted by Peary t< the
Geographic society.
"The Danes are the best posted body
of hen In the world on Arctic mat-
ters," he said. "The consistory of tin
University of Copenhagen should bo
given the opportunity to examine the
Peary proofs, for In that way they
would be submitted to the same test
that was applied to those of Cook.
The consistory which was regarded
by the civilized world as more than
friendly to Dr. Cook showed by its ac
tion in turning down the explorer that
It holds the scales of justice, as it
seems them, evenly and honestly."
Moreover, Admiral Schlev h< lieves
the submission of the proofs t< Copen-
hagen should be insisted utfhn by
Peary, despite whatever the National
Geographic society's attitude may be.
It was suggest.-d to tHe office* that
the society some time ago officially
declared its intention to let scientific
bodies of reputa^pe standing
and test the Peary proofs when they
had been passed upon by the society
"But Sjjhley declined to say-on what
grounds he took exception to the
finding of the scientists of the 1
vcrsity of• Copenhagen that* Cook had
not been at the north pole. He mere-
ly reaffirmed his belief in the explorer,
adding that he be'.Ieved also that
Peary, too, had gained the t p of the
earth.
The importance of the admiral's de-
mand is increased by the fact thar he
has had wide experience in the far
north. In 1RS4 he was in oomnrand
of the Thetis expedition which re-
sulted In the rescue of Lieut. Greeley
and Fix men who had been cast away
ft Cape Snbine and whom the civilized
world had practically given jjp for
lost. For his rescue Schley was
awarded a° gold watch and a vote of
thanks l>v the Maryland legislature and
ft medal of honor by the .Massachus-
etts humane society.
Shortly after his return from the
Thetis expedition, Cnpt. Schley pub
llshed a book, '"lTe Rescue of Gr--«•!■ y
