NOTHING DOING

CONGRESS
DISCREPANCIES FOUND
IN EXPLORERS REPORT
Members viii Demand Full and
Complete Proof Before Dis
tributing Any Medals for the
Discovery Of the North Pole,


Washington. March, BY a prac-
tically unanimous vote the subcommit-
tee Of the house naval committee to-
day decided against bestowing any re-
ward upon Commander Robert +.
PcarN until he had furnished further
proofs that he had discovered the
north pole.
II confess that ! am exceedingly
skeptical about Mr.. Pearv ever having
discovered the pole declared MT
Macon today before the committed
and am going TO protest against
any honor being conferred upon him
by congress until he has established
beyond a reasonable doubt that he has
discovered the north pole" He eX-
pressed himself as being indignant at
the thought Of being called upon as
a representative of the American pen-
pie to confer "A high honor upon any
one of It's citizens in the dark"
All legislation by congress, he said
ought to be open and above board.
Mr. Macon wanted to direct atten-
tion Go zone discrepancy In Mr.. PearN' g
story" This was The speed which the
explorer declared he made from the
time Captain Bartlett left him until
he reached the pole. Mr. Peary said
for FIVE days he made 2Gl4 miles y
day In view OF the fact that Peary
had made only sos miles per day up
till Bartlett left. The astonishing fact
OF Mr Pearys statement said Mr
Macon "is the number OF miles per
day he had travelled every day after
BARTLETT left him and when no white
man was a Witness his cnly compan-
ion being his negro valet ana four
Eskimos.
His great marches, singularly. We're
an north of the Bartlett camp. From
then, before going to the pole and re-
turning to Cape Columbia he claims
To have made an average of 26.4 miles
Il day until he reached the pole A
miles pcr day on his way back from
the pole to Saftlett's camp, and 2S.6
miles per day from BartlCtt's cemp
to Cape Columbia.
The greatest speed he had made
before Bartlett left him WAS 900 miles
per day, so pearN must have made
nearly three times as great speed after
Bartlett left him as before. in order
to rench the pole MIR, Macon de-
clared that MIR Pcary's own state
ments showed he eQualled this speed
bat twice IN the entire journey to the
pole. The first day he started from
land he made twenty~six miles and on
another day made twenty miles
In fourteen hours Of forced march
(which Mr.. Pcary has told us was

Mr Macon quoted Lieut. Shackelton,
General Greeley ana others to snow

slightly more perhaps, Is considered
the limit Of human endurance, travel
