NORTH POLE STILL LOST
Peary Admits He Made No Chart of

Journey In Arctics.
Admitting the North Pole is as ~uch
lost as ever and that all futu at
tempts to find it must be independent
enterprises, unaided by his own work,
Captain Robert E. Peary. the Arctic
explorer. answered a cross-fire of
questions at a hearing before the
house committee on naval affairs
The captain told how he wanted the
glory OF the polar achievement for
himself. declining to let any member
of his expedition. other than Henson,
to go on the last dash with him. how
his publishing contracts had preclud-
ed him from testifying before the COM
mittee last spring. and how members
of his expedition had been prohibited
from writing about the trip.
Captain Peary, replying to repeated
questions as to the results of his
Arctic trip. said that he had not We
prepared such a chart as would en-
able any one to follow in his foots cps
to the pole but he imagined" that he
had data by which he could prepare
such a chart
He said the position of the North
Pole could be determined just the
same as the equator. but the trouble
was the comparative low altitude of
the sun, which never gets higher than
221k degrees above the horizon. For
that reason ordinary observations
could not be relied on with accuracy.
