PEARY REFUSES
TO PROVE CASE

WASHINGTON, March Com
mander Peary declined today to SUBJ
NIT to congress the proofs Of his dis
covery of the north pole. He sent to
the subcommittee of the house COM
mittee on naval affairs the following
statement:
Commander Peary and mis- friends
say that contracts signed months ago
with his publishers render it impossi-
BILE to make his records and scientific
data public now. 1t will not only
subject Peary to heavy damages-a
loss which he cannot meet having just
extricated himself from debt incurred
in connection with his various expedi-
tions-but it would be breaking faith
with his publishers, which he is un-
willing to do under any circum-
stances"
After hearing statements by Repre-
sentative HobsOn of Alabama and
Moore of Pennsylvania urging con-
gressional reward to Peary irrespec-
tive of the question Of his proofs, the
committee adjourned until "wednesday
without taking action.
OF the committee of seven mem
bers it is known that three are oppos-
ed to granting recognition to Com
mander Peary unless the proofs OF
his discovery of the pole are submit
ted to congress and made public

CHICAGO, Mar. 7.-Women's long
hatpins were declared to be "puDlic
nuisance 'and an "anti-hatpin" ordl-
dance was ordered drawn up by the
judiciary committee Of the city councll
today.
The action followed a weeks crusade
against the long hatpin, which Gull
minated today in a public hearing. Ine
ordinance will stipulate that hatpins
worn in public places shall not extend
more than one-half on inch beyond
the crown of the hat" 1t is to be
drawn up by the corporation counsel
and presented for action by the city
council next Monday night.
Nine aldermen, three or four lawyers
and a score Of protesting women were
present at the public hearing.
Dictation Not Appreciated.

against this attempt to regulate Wo-
mems attire declared Attorney Fran
els Hickey, representing the women

tense. You must not dictate to Us

Roberts and Macon. Representatives
Bates, Dawson and Gregg have not
committed themselves and Represent
alive Englebrecht favors granting an
award.
Both Mr.. Hobson and Mr. Moore
vigorously urged the committee today
to honor Commander Peary without
further quibbling over the proofs. The
former declared that the granting of
the rank of a retired rear admiral was
none too much honor to bestow. He
argued that the endorsement OF
Peary's proofs by the National Geo
graphic society was sufficient.
Mr.. Macon told the committee that
since he publicly declared few days
ago that he would insist upon seeing
Mr. Peary's proofs and was opposed to
any Legislation in the dark" he had
received letters containing 5000 sig
natures endorsing the stand taken.
The committee has received mass
of interesting communications on the
subject. One from H. l.. Hopkins
secretary and treasurer of the Amer
lean Associations of Masters, Mates
and Pilots, questions the reports OF
Mr. Peary's soundings, taken near the
north pole.
How did Peary. with one man
sound in 1900 fathoms of water?'

ing upon a different system.
Mr.. Hepburn contended tnat a.
best use for the land was settlement
and declared that he would ratban
have one man on an acre of pronnd
than to have 10000 trees. and Gnu

East Owns Western Lends?
Answering objections that the pub.
lie lands were owned by all the peo-
pie, those of the east as we'll aS y,
the west, he said that they We're onl,
owned by the eastern people TO ths
extent that they utilized them.
IF they own the public lands Let
them come west and take possessinr
of Them" he said. I'VE will welcome
them, but we of the west claim tne
right to administer our own affair."
and We want the lands so utilized az
to make them productive"
He continued:
IF, when the settlement of this
country first began, there should be
some English forester to tell the peo
pie that they could not go upon the
land or take the timber, the line OF
settlement would not have vet ex-
tended more than ten miles from the
Atlantic seaboard."
AS going to snow the effect of the
withdrawal of the lands in a given
community, Mr.. Hepburn said that
while two thirds of the land in Bon
! ner county, Idaho, was in forest re-
serve and owned by the government
it contributed only $500 a year to the
support of public institutions while
the private owners of the remaining
one third pay $4,000 in taxes.
Timber Does Not Save Snow.
Quoting from a newspaper. a state
ment that a million dollars worth of
| timber soon was to be sold by the
| forestry officials in Idaho, Mr.. Hey
| burn argued that the timber did not
conserve the snow supply. Indeed. ne
! said, his observation had taught him
] that the snow lying under the trees
| melted much more rapidly than on
| the bare ground.
| While the agricultural bill was un-
/ der consideration there was extended
discussion of a provision Of the ap-
propriating of $4,000 for the investi-
| CATION for the drainage Of swamp
lands. Senator Gailinger found in the
paragraph the possibility of entering
| on the reclamation of swamp lands
and said that if that was to be done
| it would involve an expenditure Of
millions of dollars. Later when Mr..
Hepburn suggested that the expen-
diture of the money should be con-
fined to the lands everflowed by ir-
rigation, Mr.. Gallinger said:
