Diagram of Peary's Route.

this appeared very singular in view of the fact that the Peary party had made but 906 miles per day up to the time Bartlett left.
 "The astonishing part of Mir. Peary's statement" said MT. Macon, 'is the number of miles he travelled every day after Bartlett left him and when no white man was with him as wit ness, his only companion being his negro valet and four Eskimos His greatest marches, singularly. were all north of the Bartlett camp. From that time forward, going to the pole and returning to Cape Columbia, he claims to have made an average of 26.4 miles per day until he reached the pole, A miles per day on his way back from the pole to Bartlett's camp and 286 miles per day from Bartletts camp to Cape Columbia.
 MT, Macon declared that MT. Peary's own statements showed that he equaled this speed but twice during the entire journey to the pole. The first day he started from land he made 26 miles in 14 hours of forced march, which MT. Peary has told us was about the limit of human endurance. /"
 MT. Macon quoted Lieut. Shackleton, Gen. Greedy and others to show that ten or twelve miles per day, or slight ly more, perhaps, is considered the limit of human endurance, travelling over polar seas"
 The only member of the committee who did not vote to defer action on the bill was Representative Engle- bright of California, who said he was convinced that MT. Peary had discov- cred the pole and that the committee had sufficient proofs before it.
 Representative Bates of Pennsyl- vania. heretofore considered a sup porter of Peary, offered the resolution which was adopted, declaring that the committee must have further proof before proceeding

TURN PEARY DOWN
House Committee Refuses to
 Honor Pole DiSCoverer.
Representative Macon Openly Hints He Has Doubts Whether Naval Officer Found "Top of
 the World"

Washington.-Dr. Frederick A. Cook no doubt has gotten much solace out of the fact that the subcommittee of the house naval committee has re- fused to bestow a reward upon Com mander Robert E. Peary.
 The house committee wants proof Peary has refused to submit it for the reason that it would interfere with his lectures and magazine articles. Evi- dently Peary thinks more of the money he can make by writing and lecturing than he does of reward be- slowed by congress, so there the mat ter rests. Representative Macon of Arkansas was the chief objector to conferring congressional honor upon Peary until the commander produces the proof of his claim that he found the north pole
 T confess that l am exceedingly skeptieal about MT. Peary's ever hay ing discovered the pole" declared MT. Macon before the committee, and am going to protest against any honor being conferred upon him by congress Nil bii llC iielo CotclDlloIICu bCS Olld ei lCtl- sonable doubt that he did discover it, and it must be established in the open and not in the dark" He expressed himself as being indignant at the thought of being called upon as representative of the American people to confer high honor upon any one of it's citizens in the dark" All legis- lation by congress. he said. ought to be open and above board
 MT. Macon said he wanted to direct attention to one discrepancy" in MT. Peary's story. This was the speed which the explorer declared he made from the time Capt Bartlett left him until he reached the pole. MT. Peary said that for five days he made 264 miles per day; but, MT. Macon said,

John S. Townsend Will fry to Dust "Bathhouse John" from Chi-
 cago's Council.

Chicago.-John s. Townsend has undertaken a herculean task. He is after the scalp of one "Bathhouse John" Coughlin. alderman of the First ward. MT. Townsend is a jeweler and he thinks he has time to take from his business and devote to the welfare of Chicago, particularly the First ward.
 Others have tried to depose The Bath" in years gone by, but when it came time to count the votes it was found that the boys" in the First ward remembered the new shoes and the meals that had been sent around to their houses by Coughlin and they had decided to keep him in office so there could be some more of the notable First ward balls"
 Coughlin is one of the characters of Chicago. His colleague in the ward Is
