PELL CITY STILL
EAGER FOR ROUTE
Commercial Club Passes Reso-
Iutions on Subject
MAP FOR ATLANTA TRIP
Shows Entire Route Between Birming-
ham and Atlanta, and VIII Be
Placed Conveniently for Mem
bers of the Motor Club.

Pell City is apparently very anxious for
the Birmingham-Atlanta automobile
course to pass through that city. The
commercial club there recently held
meeting and passed resolutions indorsing
the proposed pathfinding tour and APP
pointed a committee to confer with the
Birmingham Motor club with reference
to bringing the route around that way.
Mayor Charles P. Pratt, ]. F. Cooke
and Douglas Spears were appointed as
the committee to take this action. and will
probably come 10 Birmingham during the
next few days in the interest of 1t. Dele
cations from n number of different towns
are expected to come to Birmingham and
make strenuous efforts to secure the
route, communications having been re-
ceived from different places to this effect
They will probably make the trip in or
der to attend the rally to be held at the
Athletic club next Friday night.
Resolutions introduced by A. E. Ledyard
and passed unanimously by the Pell City
commercial club read as follows:
BE 1t resolved by the Pell City Com
mercial club, That the president appoint
committee of three to confer with the
Birmingham Automobile club and demon-
strate to them the advantages of the
route by Pell City on the Birmingham
Atlanta auto road. Be 1t further
Resolved, That the members of the
Pell City Commercial club pledge their
hearty support in favor of this route. and
use their best efforts in having the route
come through Pel1 City"
A map made up from a number of gov
eminent survey maps has been prepared
by the Kelley company for Secretary q.
T. Brazealton of the Motor club. This
shows every bit of the way between Br-
mingham and Atlanta, giving every detail
regarding the lay of the land and water
courses. The map is extremely valuable
TO automobilists. and Mr. Brazealton is
having it framed. He will hang It on the
wall in his office-Hghland Land com
pany-where anybody may inspect it. A
sign reading Birmingham Motor Club
Is to be placed upon the entrance to his
office on the ground floor of the Brown
Marx building on Twentieth street and
he will make 1t headquarters for the club
until some suitable place is secured nv
the club.

did not mention any such circumstance
to him during the conference with the
Arctic explorer last Thursday. General
Hubbard said that undoubtedly Peary felt
that inasmueh as DR. Cook had intrusted
the data to Mr.. Whitney 1t was quite
important that Mr.. whitney should retain
sole custody of It,
General Hubbard left 1t to be assumed
by his remarks that Commander Peary
did not desire to have custody of the
records which would play so important
a part in a controversy with DR.. Cook.
General Hubbard said that he expected
Mr. Peary here tomorrow evening, and
that they would consider the proofs which
Peary had turned over TO him concern
ing the Cook controversy.

A Small Cylinder of Brass.

From the New York Sun.
In the time which has elapsed since
Dr. Cook buried his brass tube and
flag at the pole the actual spot of his
memorable deposit has travelled many
hundreds of miles. The eternal circu-
lation of the arctic ice has left no
trace, and the brass tube. in obedience
to the laws of the ice, has sunk long
since to the floor of the ocean. All
objects that are heavier than water
gravitate through the ice upon which
they rest and sooner or later, accord
ing to their density, disappear through
its depths. The gallant Peary cannot
be reproached for failing to bring back
Cooks modest brass tube, and to hold
that its recovery by Peary was indis-
pensable as evidence that he, Peary,-
has really reached the pole would be
without reason or scientific warrant.

Peary Explains.

Portland, Me-, September 2S.-Jt was

Commander Peary that the commando
Justlhes his action In refusing to allow
Dr. Frederick A. Cooks instruments or
records on board the homeward bound
steamer Roosevelt on the theory that he
had been aware for some time OF Cooke

north pole and that Peary therefore
would sanction nothing to aid this
project

duce shoes, sledges or other eduipment

comes from travel over the Arctic ice
1t seems evident that Peary Is DESTROYS
OF issuing his statement in the near fu-
ture. especially since the arrival of Harry
whitney at Indian Harbor. While he de-
ciared that whitney had no part in the
controversy, Commander Peary has re-
ceived messages concerning Whitnev,s
progress. He has, however, made no at
tempt to communicate with whitney ana
says That he Will make none
Roosevelt Arrives.
The Roosevelt arrived unexpectedly to-
day at Eagle Island to leave Pearys ner-
sonal belongings and to receive slInple-
mentary orders. After unloading Peary's
belongings, which filed four or five small
poats, the Roosevelt had steam up to-
night ready to sail for New York
Commander Peary will go to Bar Har-
Dor tomorrow for conference with Gen
Thomas Fl. Hubbard, president Of the
Peary Arctic club He will remain there
until Tuesday night, possibly later. and
IT Is there that he will probably issue
the formal statement attacking DR.. Cook
although all hands on board the Roose-
welt were instructed not to talk about tbe
COOK controversy. Matt Henson, the negro
COOK who was with Peary in his final dash
north, said that he had talked with every
Eskimo who went up with Cook and knew
everyone of them but was not at liberty
to reveal what he had learned Henson
said further that Cook had practicable
no experience when he went north: thar
he knew nothing about building sledees
and was absolutely inexperienced In driv-
ing Eskimo dogs. Henson said that be
was of the opinion that Cook could NOT
even harness a dog correctly
Captain Bartlett of the Roosevelt
seemed much perturbed over the reports
that he entertained anyAill feeling be-
cause Peary took Henson on the last dash
and left him behind. II had no idea Of
going to the pole" says Bartlett. in a
signed statement, issued tonight Il went
up there to help the commander in every
way could, according to his orders, but
1t Is an absolute lie to say that | felt
bad about not going to the pole"
The Roosevelt with favorable weather
should arrive in New York Tuesday night
or wednesday.

Oriental Greetings.
From st. Nicholas.

From 81 NlcHOIdS,
Some of the oriental modes of saluta-
ton are very peculiar. For instance in
central Tibet, the custom is for the salut-
err to stick out his tongue hold his right
ear, rub his left hip, and bow deeply, all
these motions being carried on at once
Certainly the other fellow need have no
fear of personal assault from the sub
ject of these curious antics! Less ludi-
crous but equally reassuring, Is the Chin
ese custom of rubbing noses on Bonded
knees. The salaam or profound bow of
India and the Mohammedan countries
serves a similar purpose.
