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

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 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-

money he can make by writing and
lecturing than he does of a reward be-
slowed by congress, so there the mat

Arkansas was the chief objector to
comforting congressional honor upon
Peary until the commander produces
the proof of his claim that he found

skeptical about Mr.. Peary's ever hav-

800 guests, but $50 appears to be the
new number.
It was not until about midnight
that the guests began to gasp with
establishment. Then the cotillon be-
gan and the favors appeared. Tho
most costly of these were the French
parasols presented to the women.
They had been made to order and

Guests never estimate the cost Of
such trifles, but few outsiders val

Both men and women were provided
with pompadour ribbon scarfs and
sashes fringed with gold and silver,
and as quickly as they were wound
about the shoulders Of the dancers
the ballroom became a kaleidoscope
of color at SIS per color.
Brass bells were among the favors
given the men and they were kept
ringing merrily SO that at times the
orchestras had difficulty in letting it
be known that they still were at
work. The Gardenia boutonnieres
given the men were artificial. but they
were perfumed in a manner to put ma
ture to the test to keep even.
The directoire mirrors that were
among the favors for the women were
two feet in length, the handles Of sat-
inwood. and with rs Of them flashing
back the lights Of the ballroom from
all angles they provided figure Of
dazzling brilliancy.

novel gilt cigar lighter.
One Of the last figures provided the
men with bronze desk rulers and pa-
per weights as possible reminder
that there might be work to do at
some future time. while at the same
time the women received bridge
scores as possible reminder that
they cannot win all the time.

this appeared very singular in view
OF the fact that the Peary party had
made but 9.o6 miles per day up to the
time Bartlett left.
The astonishing part Of Mr.. Peary's
statement" said Mr.. 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 28.6
miles per day from Bartlett's camp to
Cape Columbia.
Mr.. Macon declared that Mr.. 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 Il hours of forced march
(which Mr.. Peary has told us was
about the limit Of human endurance" ;"
Mr.. Macon quoted Lieut. Shackleton,
Gen. Greedy and others to show that
"ten OF 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 Mr.. Peary had discov-
cred the pole and that the committee
had sufficient proofs before it.
Representative Bates Of Pennsyl-
vania, heretofore considered sup
porter Of Peary, offered the resolution,
which was adopted, declaring that the
committee must have further proof
before proceeding.

been able to get their scalp or even
their goat on election day. Hence the
herculean task before Mr.. Townsend,
who in announcing his candidacy,
said:
1T is my Judgment that the psyche
logical political moment has come for
successful campaign to be made
against Coughlin. I am not seeking
the office for political reasons or to
gain notoriety. I have lived in the
district ever since 1877, and think I
could have received the aldermanic
nomination at many recent cam
palgns. At any rate, the nomination
has been offered to me several times
before
1T seems to me, however, that the
First ward by this time realizes it's
own condition. The civic awakening
which has been noticeable all over the
city ought to be reaching the city's
heart, the First ward, by this time,
and 1 have accepted the nomination
against Alderman Coughlin upon the
theory that there is to be natural

city as a business representative of
the greatest business ward in the

have lived here long enough to know
what practical politics means and
what 1t has done to lower civic stand

Il realize that it is a stone wall
which am facing, but I have conf
dence that the time has arrived when
the certain rebellion against Alderman
Coughl1n Is due to materialize."
