This was the highest and longest

they are destined to see not only a man
of phenomenal physical development, but
one who has not neglected the mental
side of his makeup while he has been

In this respect the big Polish champion

1t would be an odd sight in this country
to see n staid member of the bar entering
the wrestling arena and exhibiting his
athletic prowess and at the same time
preserving his caste. There is only one
other present day instance that ap-
proaches the big Polishman, and that is
Dr. B. +. Roller. the Seattle surgeon,
who. after graduating with honors from
college, took up life of athletics.
But in mixing up among athletes Zybsz-

his from association with the best Polish

up with intelligence, and If you are I'M

own language he will choose any OF six

House Naval Sub-Com-
mittee Nearly Unanimous
In Deciding Against Congress
siona| Reward for Peary.
Until He Furnishes Mis- preof Of
Reaching the Pole.

Washington. March BY a practi-
cally unanimous vote the sub-commit-
tee Of the House naval committee to-
day decided against bestowing any
award upon Commander Peary until
he had furnished further proofs that
he discovered the North pole.
Il confess that / am exceedingly
skeptical about Mr.. Peary's ever hav-
ing reached the Pole declared Mr..
Macon today before the committee.
and / am going to protest against
any honor being conferred upon him
by Congress until he has established
beyond reasonable doubt that he did
discover it and it must be established
in the open and not in the dark
Mr.. Macon said he wanted to direct
attention to one discrepancy" in Mr.
Peary's story. This was the speed
which the explorer declared he made
from the time Captain Bartlett left
him until he reached the pole. Mr..
Peary said that for five days he made
26.4 miles per day, but Mr.. Macon said
this appeared very singular. in view
of the fact that the Peary party had
made but 500 miles per day up to the
time Bartlett left.
Mr. Macon quoted Lieut. Shackelton,
General Greeley and others to show
that 10 10 - miles per day or slight
ly more perhaps. is considered the linn
il of human endurance. travelling over
Polar seas"
II am absolutely opposed to Congress
granting any award to Commander
Peary, unless his proofs are made pub
lie" declared Representative Roberts
of Massachusetts, a member of the
sub committee, yesterday.
There is nothing whatever before
us to show that Mr. Peary has discov-
cred the pole. further than the state
ments of certain gentlemen that he

mittce go into the House and support
any bill which they presented when
they mad no facts TO back il up? We

of sharp winds guarantees immunity from
