1t was developed yesterday during the
meeting of the subcommittee that, al
though the Royal Geograp hic Society OF

verdict OF the National Geogra phical So
ciety as absolutely final. but has request
ed Mr. Peary, when he comes TO speak,
to bring his original proofs, record. and
data along that they may be reviewed
and inspected.
The members Of the subcommittee
which will pass on Mr.. Peary's case to-
morrow are Representatives Butler of
Pennsylvania. chairman: Roberts of
Massachusetts. Rates Of Pennsylvania,
Dawson of Iowa, Englebright of Wis
consn. Gregg of Texas. and Macon OF
Arkansas. 1t is known that Messrs. But
Ter. Roberts and Macon are opposed to
any action by the naval. committee until
Mr.. Peary produces his original proofs.
Mr.. Englebright wants something done
for Peary, proofs or no proofs. Messrs.
