BITING WINDS WERE FIERCE Dr. Cook Telegraphs New York Herald of His Trials In Reaching Long Sought Goal Sunburned and Frost bitten on Same Day. St. Louis , Sept. 2. All new territory - , , tory discovered by Dr. Frederick A. S Cook when he reached the north pole , r will belong to the United States by right of discovery , according to the Rev. C. M. Charropln , S. J. , professor of astronomy at St. Louis university. Father Charropln said today Dr. Cook's statements will be accepted by scientists , who will attempt to con firm them. Dr. Cook's Backer Talks. New York , Sept. 2. John R. Bradley - ley , the financial backer of Dr. Fred \ erick A. Cook , explained today that the Brooklyn explorer's success In reaching the north polo was not so much .tho result of chance as the opinions of several polar exports would Indicate. "This was no haphazard expedition , " he snld , "or Intensified Arctic Joy ride only undertaken on nerve. We went about our plans for this thing quietly nnd without brass band accompani ment , but every Imaginable contingen cy was provided for. We studied out the mistakes and misfortunes of those who had tried for the pole , hoping to benefit by their errors , and we cer tainly benefited by their examples. " "I am not going to toll what the cost was , but I'll tell you this much : One single Item was 5,000 gallons of gaso line and another was two barrels of gum drops. An Eskimo will travel thirty miles for a gum drop. His sweet tooth is the sweetest In the world. "Now Cook has as much nerve as any man In the world. I guess ; but ho had something besides nerve to carry him through. I'm not trying to take any of the credit , but I want to say that ho had the right kind of an outflt to take him through. Cook will prove to the satisfaction of every fair mind that ho has done exactly what he claims ho did. " Anthony Flala , commander of the Ziegler expedition of 1903-1905 , agreed with Mr. Bradley In placing confidence In the reports of Dr. Cook's success. "This will not put an end to pplai expeditions , "he said today. "Other expeditions will push their way north ward. Dr. Cook says ho has dlscov ered land In the far north. If the land is there others will find It and verify his story. If It Is not there his storj will bo branded as false. " Used the Right Plan. Washington , N. J. , Sept. 2. Dr Thomas Dotrlck , who was a surgoor with the Peary Arctic expedition li 1898-1902 and lived for a year with th ( Eskimos In Greenland , said today thai t Dr. Cook , In reaching the pole by th ( ' west coast of Hllesmoreland , had chos en the most feasible route. Dr. Dot rick said : Dr. CooV's polar expedition Is remarkable markablo not only for Its results bu for Its utilization of the most practlc able plan. His grasp of what I havi advocated that a man with Esklmoi can llvo Indefinitely on the west coao _ of Ellesmeroland and come out nt an ; / point ho chooses , shows Dr. Cook'i S knowledge of Arctic conditions. a "I know Eskimos who loft Etah am lived nine years on the west coast a different points. Eskimos furnlshei me with maps of the west .coast and o Ellesmereland before Captain Sverd nip ever put a foot on the shore. Tb maps are Identical with Sverdrup' later maps. When Peary feared i westward drift on approaching land nnd spoke of the possibility of coming out on the west coast of Hllesmere- land , I advocated his using that chan nel. " DR.

" Concerning his experience In the Arc tic regions , "after a prolonged fight with famine and frost , " says Dr. Cook , "wo have at last succeeded In reach ing the north polo. A new highway , with an Interesting strip of animated nature , has been explored and big game haunts located , which will delight - light sportsmen and extend the Es kimo horizon. "Land has been discovered on which rests the earth's northernmost rocks. A triangle of 30,000 square miles has been cut out of the torrestlal un known. " "Tho expedition was the outcome of a summer cruise In the Arctic seas on the schooner Bradley , which ar rived at the limits of navigation in Smith Sound late In August , 1907. Here conditions were found favorable for launching a venture to the pole. J. R. Bradley liberally supplied from his vessel suitable provisions for lo cal use. My own equipment for emer gencies served well for every purpose In the Arctic. "Many Eskimos had gathered on the Greenland shores at Annatoak for the winter bear hunt. Immense quan tities of meat had been collected and about the camp were plenty of strong rugs. The combination was lucky , for there was good material for equip ment. "All that was required was conven iently arranged for at a point only 700 miles from the Boreal center. A house and workshop were built of packing boxes by willing hands nnd this northernmost tribe of 250 people set themselves to the problem of dc- VIsns."X | suitable outfit. Before the end of the long winter night we were ready for the enterprise and plans had been matured to force a now route over Grlnnell and northward along its coast out toward the polar seas. Strike Low Temperature. "The campaign opened with scouting parties being sent over the American shores to explore the way and seek the game haunts. Their mission was only partly successful because of the storms. At sunrise of 1908 ( February 19) ) the May expedition embarked on Its voyage to the polo. It consisted ol eleven men and 103 dogs , drawing eleven heavily laden sledges. The ex pedition left the Greenland shores and pushed westward over the troubled Ice of Smith sound. The gloom of the long night was relieved only by n few hours of daylight. The chill was felt at its utmost and as we crossed the heights of Ellesmere sound to the Pa cltlc slope the temperature sank tc j minus 83 centigrade. Several dogs were frozen and the men suffered severely verely , but we soon found the game trails along which the way was easy We forced through Nalson sound tc Lands End. In this march wo secured 101 musk oxen , seven bears and 33E jares. We pushed out Into the polai coa from the southern point of Her Sort Island on March 18. Six Eskimo : returned from here. With four mer and forty-six dogs moving supplies foi eighty days , the crossing of the clr cumpolar pack was begun. Three days later two other Eskimos , farming the last supporting party , returnee and the trials had now boon reduced by the survival of the fittest. Th ( two best men and twenty-six dogs won picked for the final effort. "There before us In an unknown llm of 460 miles lay our goal. The day'i Journey provided long marches am wo made encouraging progress. / big load which separated the land fron the Ice of the central pack was crossec with little difficulty.

"For several days after the sight o known land was lost the overcast sk ; prevented an accurate determlnatloi of our positions. On March 30 tin horizon was partly cleared and nov land was discovered. Our obsorvn tlons gave our position as 84.47 , longl tudo 86.36. There was urgent need o rapid advance.
