declaring that lie "should he driven
from the naval service."
The hitter words liy Macon called
out a quick reply from I'cury's friends
Hud He prosontutlve Moore of Pcnn-
HylMiula after vainly attempting to
Interrupt Macon linally got the floor
In his own right. He characterized
Macon's speech as "unjust outrageous
Hh.l offensive." His said that there
was .iIvvu.vm some one to he found to
mispect every performance hy men of
K1' ii In m and courage.
Moore nald: "I have not lime to
stop und deal with every dog thai
barks at my
Macon declared that IVary's whole
lory was a "fake pure ami simple."
He hii hi his contempt for "fake he-
roes" was supreme and Intimated that
In- h.ul put the "hero of San Juan
Hill" In that class. Macon denounced
the lVary Arctic. Club and charged
that It had maintained a paid lobby In
Washington; He mild that President
Tuft's Judgment In the matter ought
n t to he accepted for he had con-
gratulated Cook as heartily as Peary.
Faying compliment to the editors
of the New York Times and the New
York Post Macon characterised them
s "unblushing to know nil of the
tli-htts" and Peary as pin-headed and
putrid.
He referred to Peary as "fur-trader.'
pictured him as a "self-exuggoratcd
mif-oplnlonated puffed-up near-hero"
und linally denounced him ns on "un-
faithful servant and an Idle loafer
who ought to he driven from the ser-
vice Instead of promoted."
Macon said he had the. utmost con-
tempt for human being so ''woasen-
hralnod" that they are afraid to say
what they really think about Peary
"because they fear mime unblushing
know-li-ull tit-bit editor of the yel-
low Journals like the New York
Times or New York Post will

call j
He continued:
"I pity the man so Ignorant as to
be terror-stricken all the time or fear
that he will be called Ignorant by
some saphead or so cowardly that he
is afraid to think his own thoughts
for fear some graft-loving editor will
find out what he Is thinking about
und adversely criticise him therefor."
Macon expressed the belief that
Peary and Cook on one of their trips
north when they were companions
llgured It nut that it would be easy
lor a man to fufte the discovery of
the pole. He charged that they both
titarted out the same time to "make."
the discovery. He declared that In-
stead of being rewarded with a pro-
motion to the rank uf rear admiral
us President Tail uud the committee
of naval olllcera recommended Peary's
feat was nt best worthy only of a
medal like those awarded the tiiura-
tBoti runners.
Moore rose to reply and said that
ho desired to put Into the record a
few things In uKfwer to the "most
unjust and outrageous assault"
Moore said he had great respect for
newspapers ami editors and had not-
ed with - pride the press gallery re-
mal I empty throughout the time
tin- gentleman from Arkansas had
the lloor.
"I am glad to know" said Moore
"that no one In the gallery was will-
ing to sit there and listen to the
diatribes of the gentleman from Ar-kun-iis
offensive as tlicy were upon
one of the great men of the country
"or listen to the violent epithets ap-
plied to newspaper editors."
Moore paid a glowing tribute to
Peary saying that his attainment of
the pole tame at the end of twenty-
three years of laborous work and
unknown hardships.
lie took Macon sharply to task for
his praise of the foreign heroes and
his unjust remarks 'about a son of
America."
