EACH SIDE HAS
ROUSING MEETING
Both Amenders and Defenders Hold
Rousng Meetings at Union
Springs-Outcome of EIec-

Union Springs, November 3.--(Special. y
Both the amenders and the defenders had
public speakings here last night. Those
favoring the amendment held their meet
ing in the opera house and were ad-
dressed by the Rev. Ghoston Yates of
New Decatur and the Rev. c. l.. Chiffon
of Montgomery. Those opposing the
amendment held their meeting at the
court house and were spoken to by Ray
Rushton of Montgomery.
These two gathering places are on op-
posite sides of the principal business
street and almost fronting each other.
Prior to the speaking the forces represent
ing each side lined UP In front of their
respective places and for a short time
made the welkin ring with shouts and
cheers, each inviting the other over to
large at both places, each faction having
tried to work up the largest crowd
Judging from the rounds of applause
which emanated from each building the
audiences were evidently having the time
of their lives.
Mr. Rushton was the first to finish his
discourse, after which number OF his
hearers went over to the opera house
and found seats in the rear and gallery
before the close of the address of Mr..
Yates, the first speaker for the amend
ment and their presence furnished an
opportunity which neither he nor Mr.
Chiffon failed to take advantage Of
Everything passed off pleasantly. The

Society is Convinced That Peary
Reached Pole April 6, 1909, But Is
Ready to Accept Proof of
Priority of Discovery.
TO CONTINUE RESEARCH

Washington, November 3.-Commander
Robert E. Peary was today voted a gold
medal by the National Geographic So
ciety for having reached the north pole.
The board of managers of the society
at a meeting today accepted unanimously
the report of its subcommittee of scien-
lists, who had examined the explorer s
records and proofs and found them to
be corroborative of his claim that he
reached the pole.
The society adopted a resolution that
the question of whether or not any ex-
plorer reached the north pole prior to
1909 shall be referred to a sub-commit-
tee of experts with authority to send
for papers or make such journeys as
may be necessary TO inspect original rec
ords.
Action Is Important.
OF far reaching Importance is the So
ciety's action in deciding to follow UP
vigorously the question of priority In
the discovery of the north pole. The
scientists will spare no expense in or
der that they may be convinced on this
point Dr. Cook will be advised immedi-
ately of the societys action.
Present at the meeting of the board
of managers were 10 men, all of whom
are prominent in the scientific world.
After the report Of the subcommittee
was submitted there was a debate last
ing more than two hours, but finally
the board voted unanimously to accept
the report of three experts, who believed
without any question of doubt that Com

In addition to awarding Commander
Peary a special gold medal as a token
of the highest honor the society can
bestow upon him, 1t was also decided
that a gold medal be given to Capt. Il.
NJ Bartlett, who is declared by the So
ciety to have displayed able seaman
ship, pertinacious effort and able man
sgement' during the Peary arctic ex-
petition.
Committees Report.
The report of the subcommittee of
experts before whom Commander Peary
appeared with his records and instru-
ments was as follows
THE subcommittee to which was re-
ferred the task of examining the rec
ords of Commander Peary in evidence
of his having reached the north pole beg
to report that they have completed their
task.
Commander Peary has submitted to
this subcommittee his original journal
and records of observations together with
all of his instruments and apparatus and
certain of the most important of the
scientific results of his expedition These
have been carefully examined by your
subcommittee and they are of the opin-
ion that Commander Peary reached the
north pole on April 6. 1909.
They also feel warranted in stating
that the organization, planning and man
agement of the expedition, its complete
success and its scientific results. reflect
the greatest credit on the ability of Com
mander Robert E. Peary and render him
worthy of the highest honors that the
National Geographic society can bestow
upon him "GANNETT.
