Cook, Arctic explorer, for parole from his sentence of 14 years and 9 months for conspiracy to use the mails to de- fraud will be heard at the January meeting of the Federal Parole Board. Dr. Cook, admitted to the Federal| penitentiary here April 6, 1925, has| served one-third of his term and au-| tomatically is eligible for parole on his record of good behavior. | All of his associates in the oil pro- motion scheme which led to his con- viction were paroled three vears ago. His sentence is the longest ever given a Erisoner committed to the penitentiary ere on a similar charge. “Eighteen months ago Federal Judge ‘Wilson at Fort Worth issued an order admitting Cook to probation. tory, where he is conducting experi- ments in synthetic rubber. Up at his usual early hour, Mr. Edi- | son took a stroll through his tropical garden and then dropped in on his lab- ornlory He did not stay long, however, and soon returned to his favorite chair beside a roaring fire, while Mrs. Edison and a few friends opened the gifts.

It finally was determined, however, that judges are without power to place Pprisoners on probation after service of sentence begins and the order was voided. Dr. Cook's health has been failing under confinement and friends say he cannot live through his full sentence. He is editor of the prison newspaper, the New Era Dr. Cook started one of the most spectacular controversies of modern ex- ploration when he announced Septem- ber 1, 1909, that he had reached the North' Pole April 21, 1908. Pirst acclaimed throughout the world, he later was branded a faker. Admiral Peary said he found no evidence at the Pole of Cook’s visit there and scientists sald Cook's documentary proofs of the achievement were of dubous authen- ticity. His claim later was deferided by several noted scientists, including Capt. Roald Amundsen, but today he stands generally discredited.
