DECLINES TO SUBMIT PROOFS
Commander Peary Under Contract
With Publishers and Can Not Com
ply With Committees Request.

Washington. 49, Commander Peary
has declined to submit to congress
the proofs of his discovery of the
north pole. He sent to the sub'com'
mittee of the house committee on ma
val affairs, on Monday, the following
statement:
Commander Peary and his friends
say that contracts signed months ago
with his publishers render it impossl'
BILE 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 extricated himself from DEBT in
Cured in connection with his various
expedtions--but it would be breaking
faith with his publishers, which he
is unwilling to do under any circum'
stances"
After hearing statements by Repre-
sentatives Hobson of Alabama and
Moore of Pennsylvania, urging a con
gressional reward to Peary irrespec'
tive of the question of his proofs, the
committee adjourned without taking
action.

SECTION HAND GIVES GRAPHIC
ACCOUNT OF THE AVALANCHE
AT WELLINGTON.
Slide Which Swept Two Trains Into
Canyon Occurred During Terrific
Thunderstorm, and Rescuers Had
Difficulty In Getting Into Gulch.

Wellington, Wash.-Slow progress
is being made by the men engaged
in excavating the bodies of the victims
OF the terrible snowslide in which
two trains were swept from the track,
and with their loads of human freight
sent hurting down to the bottom of
Death canyon. Rotary plows and hun
dreds of men are working with fever
ish energy, night and day, from poth
sides of the Cascades, but the work
seems terribly slow.
Looking down from Wellington into
the gorge where the wrecked trains
and sixty dead are buried, nothing is
to be seen on the surface of the snow
except broken trees, the pilot OF an
engine, portions of two electric mo-
tors and fragments of rotary pillow.
Ed Clark, section hand, who par
ticipated in the early relief work at
Wellington, gives a graphic account of
his experience on the night when the
two trains were swept over the chasm
into the bed of the canyon 200 feet
below. He says;

1T was laundering and lightning

We heard faint moaning down the

were only two or three little railroad
lanterns for light. All around us we
could hear trees swapping and other
slides tumbling down. We didn't
know how big they were, but we
stumbled and rolled down into the
gulley where we could hear the cries,
Some had grabbed up what axes
there were when they first ran out
and then the lanterns showed row of

started chopping between the out

I'VE had worked hard all day and
were pretty well played out, but we all

the case was continued from time

Last Friday Dysart was arrested
