.BROADHEAD MUST
FACE CHARGES
DEMURRER FILED WITH POLICE
COMMISSION OVERRULED
Claim That the Officials Are Biased
Against Him Is Not Upheld
by the City At
torney

Thomas H. Broadhead, the suspended
murrer against being tried by the po-
lice commission on charges of incom-
potency and neglect of duty, growing
out of his connections with the red
light district under the Harper admin
iStration.
He claimed the police commission had
no right to try him, as the power was
vested in the civil service commission.
This appeared a most peculiar position
to take, as the law provides that the
police commission has jurisdiction over
all members of the police force and has
the right of dismissal
He declared that the commission was
biased and prejudiced against him be-
cause three of the members of the
commission, Mayor Alexander and
Commissioners Andrews and Graham
were members of the Municipal league.
The Municipal league, by its secretary,
Edwin o. Edgerton, preferred the
changes against Broadhead, The state
ment that these three members of the
commission were members OF the Mu-
nicipal league was only near truth.
Commissioner Graham never was a
member of the league at any time, he
declared last night.
Commissioner Andrews signed a
membership card about one month ago,
but never has met with the league and
has never paid an initiation fee or
dues; Mayor Alexander was a member
of the league until he was elected
mayor but, by reason of one of the
rules of the league, he severed his con-
nection with that organization auto
matically, the minute he stepped into
public office. So that actually no men,
bers of the commission are membera
of the league.

legal adviser of the commission, told

PEARY AGAIN TRIES
TO EXPLAIN STORY

BAR HARBOR, Me, Sept. 27.-Com-
mander Robert e. Peary reached here
tonight from Portland, and within half
an hour entered into conference with
Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, president of
the Peary Arctic club, concerning the
statement which soon will be made
public by Commander Peary in an eff
fort to support his contention that DR..
Cook did not reach the pole.
'rhere is nothing to say now" said
General Hubbard Commander Peary
is here and we are looking over the
data he has on the Cook controversy,
but there is no statement to be made at
this time.
mo date has been set for the meet
ing of officers of the Peary Arctic club,
and l shall not determine that until my
return to New York next week.
From what can be learned of the con-
ference tonight, Peary went over every
phase of his alleged evidence against
DR.. Cook, dating from the time the
Brooklyn explorer began preparing to
go north, more than two years ago,
and until after Peary's interviews with
DIR. Cooks Eskimos at Etah.
General Hubbard has been arranging
this material in order as personal coun-
sci for Peary.
Talks Considerably
During the trip to Bar Harbor Peary
spoke frequently of Harry Whitney.
There might have been some strange
reason why Whitney did not go back to
Etah in the Jennie for DR.. Cooks stuff"
he said.
81 cannot understand how anyone
could let such records get out of his
hands. I would not give my records to
my dearest relative. 1 say again. |
don't see how Cook could have turned
his stuff over to Whitney or any body

and night, and / was prepared in case

throw them overheard so that they
could float in their cases. Can you inn
agine me giving up the records to a
perfect stranger?

Hple in Renee. Girl Gone.

A good joke is told on one Of our
over-the-river neighbors, who several
years ago had a family of good look
ing daughters, who were smart and
good workers. They, of course, grew
up and the boys, as is natural, took 81
fancy for them and wanted to marry
them, but the old gentleman for
some reason (perhaps best known to
himself) objected and used every
precaution to prevent any of them
from marrying, and especially one
young fellow, who was distasteful to
tie old man. AS time passed on this
young fellow and his girl went on
with their courting unbeknowing to
cid man. He had the house
surrounded with a strong palins fence
and there was no means of ingress "r

would have to run away if they got
married. So one mourning he awoke

or wish. He was at his wits end.
More of the family claimed any
knowledge of the elopement, but the
old man thought differently. Turn

pected would soon follow suit, he

advantages of White Breeds.


A well known Southern poultry
man who is making an enviable rec
ord with market poultry and who is
so well known as a fancier that his
name is becoming almost house
hold word, says he raises white fowls
exclusively, not because "wntte is an
emblem of purity and innocence.
but because he has proven them the
most profitable. He asks. whoever
saw a commercial poultry farm
where Black Leghorns were the lead
ing breed, or any other colored breed
the favorite, If depended on for
eggs?"
Every one knows the record
White Leghorns have as layers; and
their early maturity makes them de-
sirable as broilers. But the large
breeds of white fowls are crowding
close on their records. OF the num-
erous egg records kept in the East
during the last year or two, White
Plymouth Rocks stand at the head OF
heavy breeds as layers. Some have
equaled, il not surpassed, White Leg
horns-with this in their favor, that
their heaviest egg production is in
winter when prices are highest. A
White Plymouth Rock hen should
weigh seven and a half pounds and
be worth seventy-fve cents on the
market when no longer valuable as
layer. Nothing can surpass a
White Rock, either for frying, roast
ing or the good old time chicken pie.

ing the planting of honeysuckle to
stop gu1ites. My advice Is "don't-" "
II you do you will su: ely regret it.,
for the honeysuckle is harder to get
rid of than the gully. When it once
gets a start it is almost impossible
to get rid Of it. Some of my neigh
bors would give good sum to get
rid of what they have.-G- F. Gra-
