REFUSES REWARD TO PEARY.
House Subcommittee Says He Must
Give More Proof.

By practically unanimous vote the
subcommittee of the House naval COM
mittee in Washington decided against
bestowing any reward upon Robert Z.
Peary until he had furnished further
proof that he discovered the north
pole.
The only member of the committee
who did not vote to defer action on
the pending bill was Representative
Englebright of California, who said he
was convinced Mr. Peary had discover
ed the pole. Bates of Pennsylvania,
heretofore considered a supporter of
Peary, offered the resolution
Il confess / am exceedingly skeptl-
cal about Mr.. Peary's ever having dis
covered the POLE" declared Represen-
tative Macon, land / am going to pro-
test against any honor being conferred
upon him by Congress until he has es-
tablished beyond a reasonable doubt
that he did discover it, Macon ex-
pressed himself as being indignant
at the thought of being called upon as
a representative of the American peo-
pie to confer a high honor upon any
one of its citizens in the dark" All
legislation by Congress, he said, ought
to be open and above board
Macon said he wanted TO direct at
tention to one discrepancy in Mr..
Peary's story This was the speed
the explorer declared he made from
the time Capt. Bartlett left him until
he reached the pole. Peary said that
for five days he made 26.4 miles a
day, but Macon said this appeared
singular in view of the fact that the
Peary party had made only 900 miles
a day up to the time Bartlett left
