Rep Mason After Critical Survey OF
Explorers Narrative Doubts if
He Reached Pole.

WASHINGTON. March g-Com-
mander Robert f. Peary was put into
the Or. Cook class today By Rep Ma
con CDem.. Ark.
Ia critical survey OF the explorer
narrative, presented today 20 a sub
committee OF the naval affairs com
mittee OF the house. OF which Macon
Is member. the Arkansas congress
man declares the mere record OF miles
travelled each day as given by Peary
stamps his story as stretch OF the
imagination.
In Pearys travels from Cape Col
umbia 10 the point where Capt. Bart
lett left him and returned" said Ma
con. he travelled thirty-one days and
made PSI miles, or an average Of
900 miles a day. This was not as
good an average OF miles OF travel as
made by Or. Cook in the same Iati-
tudes.
The astonishing part Of Mr.. Pearys
statement is however. the number or
miles he travelled every day after
Bartlett had left him. when no white
man was with him as witness, his
only companion being his valet OF
twenty years service and four Eskl-
mos: and his greatest marches singu-
larry were all north OF the Bartlett
camp. From that time forward, go

days from the pole back 10 Cape Col

most three times as great an average
as he made with his supporting party

Macon expressed himself as op-
posed TO any congressional recognition
OF Pearys alleged achievement In the
absence OF positive proofs that he &C
