Vote Is Against Peary.

The House committee on naval affairs
yesterday had its first chance TO go on
record on the proposition to reward
Civil Engineer Peary for his discovery of
the north pole. The result was particu-
larly discouraging to Mr.. Peary's friends
and admirers, for the committee, by a
practically unanimous vote, turned down
a motion to discharge the subcommittee
which has been considering the various
bills to reward the explorer. Had this
motion carried, Representative Engle-
bright OF California, who made 1t, would
then have moved that the full committee
take favorable action on either the Hale
or Allen bill proposing TO retire Mr..
Peary with the naval rank and pay of a
senior rear admiral of the line.
But it didn't. Mr.. Englebrigbt, voting
for his own motion, was the only member
to favor 1t. Then the committee turned
around and by unanimous vote--for Mr..
Englebright did not vote this time-in-
structed the subcommittee to continue its
consideration OF the subject.
This means that the naval committee
Is opposed to any action on any of the
various propositions to reward Mr.. Peary.
until the explorer decides TO sunbmit his
original data to the inspection of Con-
gress. He has already declined to do
this. There the case rests.

DOUBTS POLE DISCOVERY
GEORGIA'S GOVERNOR REFUSES
TO INTRODUCE PEARY.
Mayor of Atlanta Also Declines.
Adverse Vote in House
Committee.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 16.-Gov. Joseph
Brown of Georgia and Mayor Robert
Maddox of Atlanta have declined an
invitation to introduce Commander Peary
when he lectures here tonight. Gov.
Brown said he did not believe that Peary
discovered the north pole. He said:
What proof does Peary bring. save his
own word? Cook brings the same and as
good. If Cook has handed us gold
brick Peary has handed us a paste dia-
mond.
1T is up to Peary TO explain how Cook S
story can be false and his identical story
can be true. Peary and Cook tell the
same stories about finding the pole, and,
like the Siamese twins. they must live to-
gether or die together.
"Peary's seltishness has Disguised the
country. / am glad Congress has refused
honors to Peary To do SO would put
the government approval upon a trans
parent fraud"
Mayor Maddox in declining gave as his
reason that Peary was coming as a pri-
waite citizen to lecture for money, and
was in no sense guest of Atlanta

Mayor Maddox and Gov. Brown had de-
clined to introduce him when he speaks
there tonight.
Commander Peary refused TO make any

would appear in the Georgia city and de-
liver his lecture just as though the Incl
dent had not occurred.

DISCUSS ELLIS STATUS
SAID TO BE STILL ON PAY ROLL
OF GOVERNMENT.
Minority Leader Champ Clark Starts
Lively Debate on Sub
ject in House.

Wade H. Ellis and his present relation
to the Department of Justice and the
republican campaign in Ohio were freely
discussed in the House yesterday.
Minority Leader Champ Clark insisted
on knowing, in connection with appro-
priations for the Department of Justice,
whether Mr.. Ellis had really ceased to
draw his salary as assistant attorney
general since he had taken charge of the
Ohio campaign. Mr.. Tawney expressed
his confidence tina. Mr.. Ellis no longer
had any salary from the government.
This is not the first time that men
who have obtained confidential informa-
great value in the conduct of a campaign
have been selected for such duty" shout
ed Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York Mr..
Ellis has had an opportunity to get infor-
nation that can be very valuable in fry
ing the fat, which is the technical repub-
lican expression. and with that power
he may save the fate of the President In
his own state In the coming campaign. l
have been wondering what resident of
the state Of New York with confidential
information is to be brought out as the
candidate of this administration as the
head of the republican campaign in that
state.
Could Obtain Contributions.
Mr.. Fitzgerald added that the informa
ton possessed by Mr.. Ellis by virtue OF
his having conducted the Standard Oil
prosecution for the government would be
of value in getting contributions, espe-
cialiy as 1.-The Standard Oil Company had
not been without difficulties in Ohio"
Mr.. Tawney declared Frank II. Kellogg
had been in charge of the Standard Oil
prosecution, and not Wade Ellis.
Wade Ellis Is still on the pay roll OF
the Department of Justice and probably
will stay there shouted Representative
Weisse of Wisconsin. entering the House
from the democratic cloakroom, where
he explained. he had telephoned the De-
partment to get this information about
Mr.. Ellis.
Representatives Longworth, Cox. Ans
berry and Kennedy, all of Ohio. took part
in an extended discussion of Ohio politics
which was continued until the regular
order of business was demanded. Mr..
Longworth declared that while Mr.. Ellis
might still be on the pay roll of the gov
eminent he knew he would not draw any
more salary on that account.
