House Committee Refuses to
Honor Pole Discoverer
Representative Macon Openly Hints
He Has Doubts Whether Naval
Officer Found “Top of
the World.”
Washington.—Dr Frederick A.
Cook no doubt has gotten much solace
out of th% fact that the subcommittee
of the house naval committee has re
fused to bestow a 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 bis
lectures and magazine articles- Evi
dently Peary thinks more of the
money he can make by writing and
lecturing than he does of a reward be
stowed by congress, so there the mat
ter rests. Representative Macon of
Arkansas was the chief objector to
conferring congressional honor upon
Peary until the commander produces
the proof of his claim that he found
the north pole.
"I confess that I am exceedingly
skeptical about Mr. Peary’s ever hav
ing discovered the pole.” declared Mr.
Macon before the committee, "and I
am going to protest against any honor
being conferred upon him by congress
until he has established beyond a rea
sonable doubt that he did discover ft.
and it must be established in the open
and not in the dark.” He expressed
himself as being "indignant at the
thought of being called upon as a
representative of the American people
to confer a high honor upon any one
of its citizens in the dark.” Ail legis
lation by congress, he said, ought to
be open and above board.
Mr. Macon said he wauted to direct
attention to one "discrepancy” in Mr.
Pearvs story. This was the speed
which the explorer declared he made
from the time Capt. Rartlett loft him
until he reached the pole. Mr. Peary
said that for five days he made 26 t
miles per day; but. Mr. Macon said.

this appeared very singular in view
of the fact that the IVary party bad
made but 5.W mites per day up to the
time Bartlett left.
"The astonishing part of Mr IVary “a
statement." said Mr Macon ~:s the
number of miles he traveled every
day after Bartlett left him and when
no whit*' man was with him as wit
ness.' his only companion befog hts
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 ef J5 4 nrles
per day until he reached the pole. 44
miles per day on t;s way back from
the pole to Bartlett's race ard 5
miles per day frv'm Bartlett's camp to
Cape Columbia.
Mr. Macon declared that Mr F t t
own statements shewed that he
equated this speed but twice during
the entire Journey to the pole The
first day he started from Is: d he made
S5 wiles in 14 hours of forced march
"which Mr. Peary has toM us was
about the limit of human endurance “
Mr Macon quoted Lieut Shaekletow.
Gen Greedy and others to sfcc'w that
"ten or twelve miles per day. or slight
ly more, perhaps. is considered the
limit of human enduranoe. traveling
ever polar seas"
The only mem for of the committee
who did mu vote to defer aotbvs on
the hill was Representative Erg'e
brlght of folUmh. who said he was
convinced that Mr Peary had >!:>w
ered the pole and that the committee
had sufficient preads before ft
Representative Bates of Peonsyl
rania. heretofore considered a sup
porter of Peary, offered the resolution,
which was adopted, declaring that the
committee must have further proof
before proceeding
