Washington, March 7.-Commander
Peary declines today to submit to Con-
gress the proofs of his discovery of the
north pole. He sent in care of Rep
resentative Alexander of New York a
statement written In the third person,
and addressed to the subcommittee of
the House committee on naval affairs,
in which he set forth his reasons for re-
fusing to send his data to the COM
mittee. The statement follows:
Commander Peary and his friends
say that contracts signed months ago
with his publishers render 1t impos-
sible to make his records and scientific
data public now 1t would not only
subject Peary to heavy damages. a loss
which he cannot meet, having Just cx-
tricated himself from debt incurred in
connection with his various expeditions,
but 1t would be breaking faith with his
publishers, which he Is unwilling to
do under any circumstances"
After hearing statements by Rep
resentatives Hobson of Alabama and
Moore of Pennsylvania, urging the
granting of a congressional reward 20
Peary, irrespective of the question OF
his proofs, the committee adjourned
until Wednesday without taking any
action.

Washington March THE interstate

81 to compel common carriers engaged
in interstate commerce to grant physi-
cal connection with branch railroads
upon the complaint of the branch rail-
road itself according TO a decision an

the United States
When the Delaware Laekawanna and
Western Railroad company refused to
grant a physical connection with the
Railway Valley Railroad company at
Summit. N j., the latter made a COM
plaint to the interstate commerce commits
sion. That body eventually issued an
order to compel the granting of the con-
nection.
The United States circuit court for the
aouthern district of New York held that
the commission exceeded its authority IL,
Issuing the order. 1t pointed out that
while Congress may have intended TO
give "branch railroads the right to cont
plain to the commission, when an inter-
state carrier refused to grant connec-
tion, as we'll as to an individual who de-
sired to have q switch installed, yet the
act did rot state so. 1t enjoined the com

YOAKuM TALKS ON
SWAMP DRAINAGE

New Orleans, March 7.--Reclamation of
southern swamp lands was advocated by
B. It. Yoakum chairman of the board
of directors Of the st. Louis and San
Francisco railroad, In the principal ad-
dress delivered tonight before the New
Orleans Board of Trade.
Mr. Yoakum was one of several speak
ers who called attention to the vast area
of fecund southern lands which may be
drained at comparatively little cost. He
declared the reason that the federal gov
ernment was showing apparently more
interest in putting water on lands in the
south than in taking it off was because
the west was alive and was working for
its own improvement while the south gave
the impression that 1t was satisfied to
leave well enough alone and was asleep
When the subject of improving the pub
lie highways of the south came UP MT
Yoakum said the upbuilding of nation
or a state has several phases OF con-
structive work to consider
He said one Of the most important and
which possesses as large II not the largest
revenue to the citizens of country is
the improvements of the public highways.
Mr.. Yoakum said he had the pleasure
of observing the public highway con-
struction now being carried on by Cover
nor Sanders of Louisiana and he added
that In no wise was he In error along
economical lines
Mr.. Yoakum said it was one of the
cases where 100 cents In dollar Is going
into the right direction.
..The state of New Jersey speaks with
pride Of Its public highway building, and
they have in that state magnincent sys-
tenn OF roads," said the speaker, and
the average cost per mile of the New
Jersey roads is $3.50"
Mr.. Yoakum was asked many questions
on the subject.
