His Ncrt:l Pole Orders Since 1881
Was to make Observations"
Washington, Sept. 1S.-In response
to inquiries that have been pouring
in upon the navy department, Acting
Secretary Winthrop made public o.
day all the orders that have been is
sued. to Robert E. Peary since he be-
came a civil engineer in the navy in
October, in 1881. There appears TO
have been much popular curiosity as
TO whether MIR. Peary was detailed 70
search for the north pole and wheth-
er he has drawn pay during the years
that he has been engaged in the task.
The orders show that eight Eek
tended leaves of absence" have been
given Mr.. Peary to go to the pole.
Only one of the eight orders directs
him to go without pay" The orders
appear to show that on all of the
trips except one the explorer has
drawn the salary of his relative rank
as commander in the navy on leave.
The last of the orders gives him
a leave of absence from April 9, 1907,
for three years to go abroad. But
this was modified on July 2, 1908, by
a revocation of the unexpired leave
and an assignment to the duty of max
ing observations in Grant Land and
Greenland under the Coast and Geo.
detic survey.
Under the amended orders Mr..
Peary has been entitled to draw full
pay of $4,000 a year during the last
fourteen months of his absence.

and in doing so she made false
step which caused her to break
her left leg just above the knee.
DR.. Twitty had stopped his ma
chine and Mr.. Stroud's horse did

her to get out of the wagon and
was trying to exercise care in
doing so. DR.. Twitty set the
broken limb and Mrs. Stroud is
getting along as well as could be
expected.
