He Must Back Up His Claims to
Discovery of the
North Pole.


will be no national acknowledgment
of his success. At least, that is indi-
Gated by the talk of the sub-commit-
tee of the House naval committee
charged with the consideration of
various bills that propose honors for
Peary. Recently, Commander Peary
refused to submit his proofs to the
committee, saying that contract
with magazine publisher forbade it,
Members of the committee say that
they cannot go before the House with
a bill to honor Peary without any
facts to back up his claim to discov-
cry. The matter is likely to rest there
for while.
Subcommittee Turns Down Peary.
Washington, D. c., March 9,-By
practically unanimous vote, the sub
committee of the house naval commit
tee today decided against bestowing a
reward upon Commander Robert E.
Peary, until he had furnished further
proofs that he had discovered the
North Pole
No Court of Commerce.
Washington, D. c., March 9-The
interstate commerce commission was
substituted for the proposed court of
commerce in the administration rail-
road bill by the house committee on
interstate commerce today.
Secretary of State Not Pleased
Washington, March 9. -Philander
Chase Knox, Jr., discretly left his
young bride in Baltimore when he
hurried on here to brave the parental
storm and ask his father and mother
to forgive their hasty marriage. A
few hours later Mrs. Knox, Jr., ar
rived and a few minutes after that the
young son of the secretary of state
and his new wife were on their way
back to Providence. To all appear
ances the hope-for bless you my
children was not forthcoming.
Young Knox was discovered in the
lobby of a hotel after he had been to
interview his father. The young man
slipped into town with DR.. French,
principal of the Morris Heights
school. The professor went with
young Knox to break the news. The
small army of photographers and re-
porters that had been storming the
Union station was so intent on find
ing a blonde young woman with red
feather in her hat that they over
looked young Knox entirely.
DR.. French and his pupil hurried tc
the Knox home on K street. After il
was over DR.. French, bolted for q
train and Knox went to a hotel and
telegraphed his wife to come to him
Young Mrs. Knox was on hand in less
than two hours. She gave evidence
of feeling as though they had beer
separated a week.
While they were waiting to star
for Providence, young Knox was quite
willing to talk about his marriage
but was reticent about his interview
with his father. From his manner i
evidently had not been what he ex
| pected
I'm glad we are married." he ex
claimed, ''of course my marriage wa
q big surprise to my father an
mother in fact, shock. But I an
hoping they will forgive me and tha
everything will be all right befor
long. We are going back to Prov
dence to get my things together and
shall go to work if necessary to SUI
port my wife"
The interview at the secretary
home evidently was short. The youn
man said he had no reason to be
lieve he would hear from his fathe
| before leaving Washington.
II am expecting and hoping to hea
from him in Providence after he get
used to the idea of me being married,
said young Knox, rather sadly.
The reports of row with d.
French, the result of which was hi
expulsion from school, young Kno
denied vigorously.
Dr. french came here as m
FRIEND he declared, "to help m
straighten the thing out with m
father He came down voluntaril,
He did not expel me or try to have m
arrested. I resigned when I got ma
ried
'And that's all rot about my viii
| being a shop girl. Her mother ge
married a second time and becaus
my wife did not get along we'll wit
her step-father, her mother rente
separate apartments for her. M
father promised to set me up in bus
ness when I got through college
hope he will do it now," conclude
young Knox.
