PAVED WAY FOR COOK BROTHER HINTS AT FOUL PLAY
A Belgian and Danish linked publicity campaign around Dr. Frederick Cook’s polar claims prompts questions of foul play. A Danish publicity writer allegedly authored Cook’s Copenhagen article, paid by Cook, while Cook’s brother Duncan Cook fears murder as threats contact his expedition proofs. Copenhagen and Brussels officials indicate Cook remains in hiding with no contact since the university verdict. Chicago announces that the Geographical Society will award the Helen Culver gold medals to Commander Robert Peary and Prof. Thomas Chamberlin for exploration and geographer research, to be presented January 25.
