PROPOSAL 0F 'SCHLEY
 Not Welcome by National Geographic Society 'AM INSULT TO SCIENTISTS
Submission of Peary's Data to Copenhagen Would Not Further Establish His Claim to Having Dis covered the North Pole

Washington. Dec 22.-AdmiraI Schley's demand that Peary submit his polar data to the consistory of the University of Copenhagen for verification, following that body's re- pudiation of Cooks proof, has raised a storm in the National Geographic society. which gave Peary a clean bill
 Leading members claim that the scientists of the United States would be demeaning themselves if they ac- knowledged that their findings needed verification. There s mo disposition to withhold from the Copenhagen board the data filed by Peary, but there is well defined opposition against turning it over to the Danish scientists for official action. The ar gument of Admiral Schley that such question of doubt of the claim of Peary is accepted as rather gratui- tous. The records of Peary were found unimpeachable by the Ameri- can scientists; therefore the question is not whether Peary is right. but whether the scientists are wrong.
 Nothing is to be gained by sub- hitting Peary's data to the Univer- sity of Copenhagen" said Prof Gan nett. chairman of the committee that passed upon the profs. T don't see any reason why he should
 Admiral Chester. who attacked pr Cooks. data some time ago. denounced the proposition of Admiral 1Schley as absurd He drew attention to the fact that the Royal Geographical So- ciety of England and the Geograph- ical Society of Berlin had acknowl- edged that Peary discovered the pole and that the latter society had planned to honor Peary at Berlin next year. He also touched upon the yer dict of Due DAbruzzi, himself an explorer of no small fame. that Peary had placed his foot on the apex of the world. as an additional reason why the demand of Admiral Schley could well be ignored.

BUkE EFT BILLS
Some Very Popular Bills introduced
by Our Senator

The second session of the Six
tleth congress is half over, aud
from the looks of things congress
will have its hands full disposing
of the bills now pending. Senator
Burkett is the authority of several
bills that seem to be very popular,
and members say they are daily in
receipt of letters urging them to
support the Burkett bills upon
this, that and other subjects.
The Nebraska senator introduc
ed a bill providing for a govern
ment appropriation to aid in teach
ing agriculture in the state normal
schools. la view of the fact that
the state Legislature and school
authorities are making agriculture
one of the required subjects, the
teachers of this country have seen
the desirability of Senator Bur-
kett's bill.
Another bill of Burkett's is to
prevent gambling by telegraph.
Race track gambling is now con-
fined to practically three states and
the people are urging the passage
OF this bill which will stop gam
bling by telegraph.
The present postal swing bill is
practically identical with the bill
introduced by Burkett on the
same subject last year, and is re-
ceiving the attention of the people
from every state in the union.
