PEARY Tells HIS
STORY BEFORE THE
HOUSE COMMITTEE
Cross by Repre-
sentative Macon, of Ar
kansas, Postponed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. captain
trip to the frozen North at a hearing
today before q subcommittee of the
House committee on naval affairs, the
purpose being to furnish proof of his
attainment of the North Pole on April
G, 1899, in connection with pending leg
islation for national recognition Of his
achievements.
He produced all of his original memo
randa and answered numerous ques-
tions. Characterization by Repre-
sentative Macon, of Arkansas, who has
announced his opposition to recognition
of the explorer, was deferred on ac-
count of the time taken in reading
data. The committee adjourned until
next Tuesday.
Mr.. Macon asked especial light on
the thirty hours Peary was at the
pole,' inc Mr.. Peary read from his
log-book, detailing his foul hours
sleep, his journeying beyond and bac,;
to the camp. Peary said he made no
entries in his book OF his return march,
April 8, and not until the afternoon of
the 9th.
Just at the close of the hearing Mr..
Roberts handed the explorer a copy of
a pamphlet purporting to describe how
Peary discovered the pole, printed In
Washington and headed "By Robert e.
Peary."
He asked Captain Peary If he had
ever seen it before. Peery replied that
he had written it. When the naval
committee wanted Peary to appear last
spring he declined because Of pub
fishers rights to his story and this
pamphlet, the date Of the publication
of which he could not recall, is claimed
to have appeared at hat time.

John Etris. Patrick j.. Cunning, Mrs.
Semel and family and Mrs. S~cheininger
and family.
The feature of the evening was the
address made by Alderman S~cheininger,
former chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Third Ward Democratic
Club. The alderman said that former
United States Senator James Smith
j., should be Endorsed as senator. He
referred TO him as a Democratic leader
of ability, and Of being the worthy one
to succeed Senator John Kean. HI
termed as nonsensical the statement OF
DR.. Wilson concerning the salary OF
assemblymen being $500 a year and
that this small amount left them open
to graft, and that DR.. Wilson should
retract his statement. Wilson is moi
a statesman" the alderman said, ''and
although he Is a college politician he
will not ably represent the masses II
he continues at his present rate"

of the Carnegie Trust Company was
unwarrantedly connected with certain
interests involved in that failure. Dis
trust was created without any founda-

mediately available were insufficient to
meet the heavy demands.
In tw~enty-four hours a sufficient
amount of money would have been pro-
vided to meet the requirements. Neso-
tiations were virtually concluded which
would have met all the exigencies OF
the situation; 1t was temporary relief
only which was required. The brief
respite needed, however, was not
afforded.

CARNEGIE TRUST
CO IS CLOSED

The suspension of the Carnegie Trust
Company was not unexpected in the
financial district, and, though the pin
ming OF the notice of closing on the
trust company's doors quickly brought
Ia crowd of depositors and others hav-
ing business with the institution, they
gradually melted way, n there was
little. to indicate that the failure had
taken place.
One Door Unlocked.
All the doors of the trust company,
with the exception of a small side en-
trance, were locked by direction of
superintendent Cheney. Those having
business with the State Banking Of
ficials used the side loo
The suspicion caused selling on the
stock exchange, but h declines were
not large. Important banking interests
rendered support wherever necessary.
Officials of the trust company were
loath to discuss the failure, and 1t was
stated that President Howell would not
be down today.
Mr.. Howell succeeded j. D. Reich
mann as president of the company some
months ago. He was formerly presi-
lent of the Fourth National Bank of
Nashville, Tenn.

resulted in its closing, was begun on

The following editorial is reprinte@
from this mornings Trenton Daily
State Gazette:
Give Us the Coward.
In his address in Jersey City last
Thursday night, Governor-elect Wilson
is quoted as saying:
II would raher be a knave than a
coward"
The people can get along better with
towards than with knaves. They are
less dangerous to public interests. The
dictionaries tell us that the knave Is a
tricky. deceitful fellow. A dishonest
person. A rogue. A villain. Synonyms
of the word are: Villain, cheat, rascal,
rogue, scoundrel, miscreant.
The dictionaries also tell us that the
coward. Is destitute of courage and
timid, n the synonyms for this word
are: Craven, poltroon, bastard.
Fisher Ames, the noted American
author and statesman, once said: I'm
defiance of demonstration, knaves Will
continue to proselyte fools"
And somebody else has ventured the
opinion that a live coward is better
= thar g. dead hero.
While the knave is a dangerous and
harmful person, the coward Is not to be
feared. For these reasons, the average
person will probably disagree with DR..
Wilson In his preference.
I But II Ia not necessary for DIR. Will
son to be either a knave or a coward,
and we dc not believe that he desires
or intends to be either. The fight he is
making against James Smith, jr., Is I'M
doubtedly a sincere and conscientious
one. He is doing the thing that he
believes to be right, and nobody can
reasonably find fault with him for that.
He is acting in the light of his judg-
sment, and ought to be willing to &C
scord other men the same privilege.
q He believes the vote that James Z.
sMartine received at the primaries is
morally binding upon the members
elect of the Legislature who represent
the Democratic party. Some OF these
men do not take hat view of it. The
moral bond Is one of conscience and
Judgment, attributes that all intelligent
men possess and under the stimuli of
which they should act.
In doing so. they may not necessar-
ty b. either knaves or towards, but
n we must have one OIL the other. give
6 us the coward.

by a breath, San Francisco's first avia-
ton meet opened today. The forenoon
hours were given over to novices, four
teen Of whom brought aeroplanes to the
field. Multifarious machines, some of
ambitious original design, some of the
standard makes, and some of such rare
types as the V-shaped biplane and the
multiplane were represented. They will
compete for distance, duration, height
and speed.
The professional contests will take
place this afternoon. Two birdmen
from over seas are on the field, Hubert
Latham, of France, with an Antoinette
~monoplane, and James Radley. of Eng
land, with his Bleriot; Glen Curtiss is
at the head of his own camp, with
Charles Willard and Eugene Ely as
assistants. The Wright brothers are
represented by Walter Brookins and
Philip Parmalee.
Much Interest In Meet.
With the exception of a few brief
flights made here by Paulhan last year,
nothing has been seen of professional
aviation displays in this part of Cali
%fornia. and much interest a been
aroused In the city and surrounding
country.
A pathetic manifestation of this in
terest comes from a Quentin State
prison, in a letter received by the avia-
ton committee and signed the pris-
oners Of a Quentin" The convicts
want to go to the meet, they say, but
may not, so they beseech the commit
tee to send all aviator to them.
There are hundreds of men confined

seen an aeroplane, and some of us
probably never will. unless by courtesy
of an aviator who will come this way
