Leadville, Colo, and Lander, ‘HE’S STILL M Y FRIEND,’ AMUNDSEN SAYS AFTER PRISON VISIT WITH COOK By J. P. WRIGHT. (Copyright, 1926, Consolidated Press Association.) KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan, 21.— Two triends and companions of early days today are continuing widely different careers after a first meeting in 17 yearg at the federal penitentia at Leaven- worth, Kas. Captain Raold Amundsen, still in his prime, departed for Topeka, where he will be shown more honors. Dr. Frederick A. Cooke, old at 60, once acclaimed discoverer of the North Pole and later revealed as perpetrator of the world’s greatest hoax and now serving 14 years and nine months for oil fraud went stolidly about his work in the prison hospital. Cap‘ain Amundsen’s face, steeled to repress emotion, reve iled regrets as he told of plans to make the prison years easier for Dr. Cook “He was and still is my friend,” suld h explorer-lecturer. Wy. promised to send him books and keep him posted on my explora tlons in the future. He said the would brighten the years for him.” Amundsen indicated that he ex- pects to keep in closer touch than during the years since they met in Copenhagen, when Dr. Cook was elated over recognition of his “‘dis- covery” of the North Pole and when Amundsen was an ardent admirer of the American, To the inspiration of this meet- ing, Amundsen credits much of his achievements since. Amundsen raised his hands in 4 gesture that was taken to de- scribe ascending airpmnes—most probably: it was a description of un effort to fly last year to the North Pole. Amundsen made wide swings of his arms while talking Dr. Cook, apparently explain- ing plans for future efforts, and Dr Cook sat enthralled. And then came clasp of arms about shoulders and parting. Dr. Cook, sent up from Worth in connection with s fraudulent ofl stocks, 1s Port jes of not eligible for parole for almost -four years more.
