 Professor Moore added that 1t was en- tirely probable the data of one would not check up with that of the other be- cause of the moving ice, and that Peary, may not have found on April last any trace indicating that Cook had been there the year before.
 The statements of the explorers that they had found the pole are accepted by Professor Moore, he believing that they will be substantiated by satisfac- tory scientific data. He stated that later in the week, when more of the mem- bers of the board of managers of the Geographical society had returned to the city, he would call special meeting of the board to take action toward making suta ble' recognition Of the remarkable exploits of the two Americans explosers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-vigorous
opposition TO the proposed plan to
abolish the isthmus canal commission
and to vest the power Of building the
Panama canal and of governing the
canal zone in one director general, APP
pointed by the President, cropped out
in the House yesterday during the
general debate on the Mann bin, which
was reported by the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce.
OF scarcely less intensity was the
storm Of protest when It was learned
that the committee had recommended
that the judicial power Of the canal
zone should be vested In one circuit
court and such inferior courts as the
President may constitute.
Representative Mann Of Illinois. au-
thor of the bill and chairman Of the
committee, attempted to explain the
necessity for a measure that would
centrallze responsibility for the com
pletion Of the work Of construction
OF the canal and the civil govern
ment OF the canal zone, which the
President had been carrying ON.
what are the sources OF authority
from which the President tRooseveltl
derived the right to claim to govern
the canal zone?" interrupted Repre-
sentative Harrison Of New York.

Congress in it's wisdom chose not to
provide form Of government after

bill. He designated President Roose-

and declared that he had assumed
authority in governing the canal zone
to which he had no right.
Representative Olmstead of Pennsyl
vanla replied defending the former
President
A vigorous defense Of the canal
policy OF the administration was made
by Representative Adamson, Georgia
who is a member Of the committee
He referred to the present occupant
OF the White House as "as good
man, as able a man, as fair man
as his party ever elevated to that
Office
Then, discussing the advantages to
be gained by the canal and abuses his
fellow Democrats had heaped upon the
Republicans for dumping money into
the canal. he said he knew Of "a
thousand things the Republicans had
done here a heap meaner than stick
ing to the canal"
Touching President Roosevelt's
course and the criticisms that had
been made Of it subsequent TO the
purchase Of the canal zone, he said
these criticisms had been unjustified,
"He had to keep the canal" exclaim-

Representative Hardwick Of Geor-

pose Of Mr.. Mann to call up the bill
