ISSUE PERMIT FOR
OPEN AIR BIOGRAPH,
Tent Show, However, Is OBJ
ieCted To.

n license committee of the Com
mon Council at a short meeting today
decided to issue a permit for an e
air moving picture show at the corner
OF Arlington and Market streets. Be
fore such a permit may be issued, how
ever, the applicant must agree to com
ply with several conditions. among
them that the seats shall be fastened
to the ground to avoid confusion in
case of a panic, and that there shall be
proper police protection Ind plenty of
exits.
Permission was refused to allow a
show to go on there. as the COM
mittee feared that 1t would establish a
precedent and things Of that kind would
get into residential neiEhborhoods and
prove undesirable.

THE POLAR DISPUTE.

Commander Peary has gracefully met
the situation created by DR.. Cooks en-
thusiastic welcome home by declaring
that he desires no public honors upon
his own arrival from foreign territory
until the present controversy is settled
by competent authority Thus ne
avoids the embarrassing position o.
standing before the public on his own
shores as a rival claimant for the hon
ors which have been already extended

Sooner or later the question of which
man was first to reach the pole-which
virtually reduces to the question of
whether DR.. Cook has been there at all
must be submitted to a competent
scientific authority. Several tribunals
have been already suggested but not
with the result of evoking general ac-
ceptance. Indeed, there is danger that
in the choice of a scientific court of ar
bitration dispute may arise delaying
the decision and adding to the bitter
ness of the controversy.

merits and accomplishments OF its

success has been emphatically assured,
but the mighty historical pageants
which this week will draw to New

earth demonstrates that posterity is
doing its best to make amends for any
possible failure of its ancestors to re-
cognize fully what Fulton and Hud-
son accomplished.

VentiOn there is occasional mention of
those other men Of genius who built
steamboats, long before the Clermont
was thought of. Jonathan Hulls of
Campden, England, successfully ap-
piled the steam engine to the water
wheel in 1877, and John Fitch, of Phil
adelphla, built three experimental craft,
all of which the people declared of no
practical use. James Rumsey. of Shep-
pardStOWn, Va, also made a public
trial of a steamboat on the otomPc
river in 1887.
1t was Fulton's luck and genius
combined, however, that enabled him
to succeed in 1909, where his prede-
cessOrs had failed, and for that rea-
son Robert Fulton and the Clermont
will ever hold the place of honor in the
history of steam navigation. 1t is this
World-Old tendency to render homage

The money cost is enormous, but it is
ungrudgingly borne by the people most
interested, and their enthusiasm and
zeal are applauded by the nation ana

ment and homage for the memory OF
the great men of the past who accom-
