Peary Grappled Accuses Peary Of Graft In Springfield
Dr. J A Vincent ex mayor and physician accuses Lieut Peary of graft and misconduct aboard the polar expedition. He claims Peary took money to permit a voyage, ate lavishly while others faced shortages, and stole credit for northern finds while his son, Dr Edward Vincent, spoke of alleged abuses. The elder Vincent cites his own prominence in Springfield and public service to back his charges. He asserts Peary will prove Cook’s charges false with new evidence once Dr Cook speaks. Peary’s camp counters that proof will come when appropriate and stresses Peary never makes claims without proof. Sydney and Battle Harbor dispatches note Peary’s voyage moves toward the port with Roosevelt preparations and further Arctic debate unfolds.
